This is an unofficial directory for issues/features that we want to see fixed/added via ROMS or software updates. Simply post a request, and if it is appropriate and acceptable it will be added into the directory. This post serves as a place where DEVS can find an issue or feature and can... well... fix it! I plan for most of these to be at least partially exclusive to sense 6 and or the Verizon HTC m8. I will update the directory nightly
GUIDELINES*The issue must be something that more than one person can relate to.
*The issue cannot pertain to another app. I.E. if an app is crashing too much.
*K.I.S.S Keep it simple stupid.
*Look before you post! I will update the directory and see if it's there. This will save us both some time
*Lastly off-topic posts or typo requests won't bother me the slightest, but just know your boundaries
*Please refrain from things that are basic in custom ROMS . These include but are not limited to navigation bar tweaks, and system ui visual changes
If you see a user post an issue that you know a fix for, give him a hand

This is getting annoying for me. The double tap to wake and the slide up to unlock is an amazing feature. But it's almost worthless if we can't use it when the phone is laying down. My phone is on my desk at work most of the day, and it would be great if I could just double tap to see what notification just came in.
I think it has to do with the g-sensor. When I first turned the phone on, the pop up menu said that the unlock gestures only work when the screen is being held in portrait mode. So I'm thinking that when it's laying down, the phone doesn't know exactly what orientation it should be in. I've found that even holding the phone upright just a touch allows the gestures to work fine.
Changing shortcuts of the gestures while the screen is off? For instance, swipe left while screen is off launches 'X' app...
Unlocked wireless tether. Get rid of the various wifi notifications. LED torch quick toggle.

When on a call, press power button to turn screen off, when call ends the screen turns back on by itself. Why? Idk but very annoying, only HTC phones do this!
If someone can tweak it to where when in a call the user manually presses the power button to turn screen off, the screen stays off even when the caller or whoever hangs up.
A feature that would be great for me is a quick toggle/widget to toggle the motion launch gestures. I have to go through all the settings menus every time I want to toggle it (which is only when I'm at work). When at work, my phone stays in my pocket, and I am moving around a lot, so sometimes my thigh will unlock the phone and open apps, along with draining my battery.
Changing images for navigation bar.

U WOT M8?
Just pointing out a few things:
1. As far as the WiFi notification, you can get rid of this by going to Settings > Wi-Fi > Advanced, and de-selecting the "Notify me" option. This is what I did on my previous phone (M7) and my M8, and since de-selecting that box, I've never seen the WiFi notification pop up.
2. The Wake Gestures actually can be used when the phone is laying down. This also annoyed me to no end initially, until I saw someone post that you can just move your phone slightly to make the wake gestures work. I'm assuming this works because it trips the internal movement sensor, which then makes the phone think that it's been picked up. The movement doesn't even have to be vertical; I just slightly move my phone to the side a bit, and it's enough to make the wake gestures work for me.
Email Widget for the native Sense email app...i cannot BELIEVE this was left out by HTC/VZW/whoever...WTF!
I'd like to be able to adjust the grid size of the home screens, 4 across is too spaced out, I like it lining up with 4 icons and app drawer icon at the bottom.
Also, as mentioned in another post, I'd like to be able to customize the keys next to the home key, i.e. move the back key to the right and replace the multitask key with the menu key etc.
ability to hide the standard soft buttons and replace them with LMT style popup buttons.
Ability to toggle individual gestures on and off. I'd like to have double tap to wake, but turn off swipe to wake. I end up waking the device with a swype simply by pulling it out of my pocket which I don't want.
Toggle automatic factory reset on 10 bad unlock attempts on and off or set the number of failed attempts to an arbitrary number.
Able to remove ANY of the always on notificatios. Alarm, keyboard, hearing aid boost, nfc, etc

I love the "knock on" feature, tho I agree, it would be very nice if it worked even when the phone is laying flat. But why is there no "knock off"? Don't they kinda go hand in hand?
Ability to have more than 10 alarms

Slide finger across statusbar to control brightness like Gravitybox (enabling in Gravitybox does not work on our devices).
Ability to display notifications from more than the stock HTC apps when using the Dot Matrix case.

I have found that tapping the screen 3 times (instead of 2) will usually wake the screen while it is laying on a desk. Just use a little bit of force on the first tap... It seems like an accelerometer needs to detect motion before the screen digitizer wakes up.
This would still be a nice feature request, though I have a feeling it won't be possible without having a significant effect on battery life.

Three taps with the phone laying flat has been working for me as well.
I would love to see a built in data transfer rate in the status bar like Android revolution has for the m7

In council, be on the test, public place like theater or subway.
In that place we learn wording that demand vibration of cellphone
Use that point, we develops messenger app Knock of apply only vibration!!!!!
The great advantage of Knock is vibration pattern.
If you plus friend and select, automatically change yellow wallpaper, noticed very simple UI has circle in center.
You click this circle, goes down vibration pattern, if you keep push this circle vibration recognized continuously and unhand, vibration is automatically send to set fixed time.
In future, we will try to solve user’s inconvenience to apply Knock at every wearable devices. (EX- Applewatch, Samsung Galaxy Gear, etc.)
YOU SEARCH KNOCK AT GOOGLE PLAY [email protected][email protected][email protected][email protected][email protected]!!!!!
Hey guys, I just got a Note Edge (loving it btw) and was wondering if there are any lock screen replacements with decent notification features (like Snaplock) that also allows unlocking by fingerprint? I quite like the look of the normal TouchWiz lock screen so something like the DashClock Widget would be perfect since it adds notifications by way of widgets instead of a whole lock screen replacement but I just found out that TouchWiz doesn't allow widgets on the lock screen apart from the default digital clock. Can someone offer some suggestions? Either a lock screen replacement that allows fingerprint scanning or some way to allow widgets on the lock screen after I root it. Thanks a lot!
Go setting....lock screen...under screen lock select finger print.

It's already built into the phone and works great for me. I also like how when using PayPal you can swipe your fingerprint to pay. Can't wait till you can lock different apps with the fingerprint, this would be super useful.

Sorry, maybe I didn't explain properly. I've already registered 3 fingerprints and they work quite well in the lock screen (a lot better than what I had read from some accounts prior to purchasing the phone). What I would like is to have notifications on my lock screen like what you'd get on an iPhone or through lock screen replacements like Snaplock or Next Lock Screen. The problem is, when I turn on one of these lock screen replacements in the settings, I get two lock screens. First the replacement lock screen appears with all the notifications and then after unlocking that through either swiping/pattern/pin (they don't support fingerprints), I get the system lock screen which allows me to use my fingerprint. Of course, I can just turn off the system lock screen but like I said, the other lock screen replacements like Snaplock or Next don't support fingerprints.

How can u set up paypal?
With the upgrade to Lollipop, you can now get notifications to show on the lock screen (Settings > Device > Sound and Notifications). Unfortunately, Samsung doesn't allow widgets to be used on the secure (fingerprint, PIN, pass, etc.) lock screens, so I am unable to put a weather widget on my lock screen. And since I have a corporate Exchange email account set up on my phone i can't opt-out of using a secure lock screen.
Like all of the other unfortunate AT&T customers that purchased a Note Edge, I got screwed over without the ability to root my device. I would really like to set my phone up the way I want it, as it should be.
And while i'm *****ing, why can't Samsung set up one of their Edge panels (briefing maybe?) to wake the edge screen and display notifications for SMS messages? Am I missing something, or wouldn't that be an ideal function to have with the edge screen? It's nice that they will allow sms notifications on the main lock screen now via lollipop, but why not put them on the edge screen where they should be on a device such as this?
If i'm missing something and there are ways to resolve my two complains please feel free to fill me in.

Thanks for that. I'm still trying to get my phone to update to Lollipop so maybe that will solve everything. I have a factory unlocked phone bought in Australia so from what I read, the update should've rolled out ages ago but it never seems to see it. Anyways, I'm downloading the update manually now via sammobile so let's see!

Totally agree with you. Even if we don't get whole text messages scrolled across the Edge screen, at least light up a few pixels there to show us there that there are notifications waiting. I have a cover that doesn't allow me to see the notification light next to the logo but has a slit cut out for the Edge so that would be perfect.
Certain notification pop-ups appear that I can't figure out where to turn them off. One example is each time my phone pairs with my Gear S2 watch (e.g. I walk out of BT range and then come back), another is a 'finding location' popup because I set smart lock to keep the phone unlocked when I'm at home.
Anyone know which notification to turn off for these service-level items?
Bonus round: I read in either the manual or a review that double-tapping a popup notification on the lock screen should launch the app. I took that to mean that since I have smart lock active it should just go to the app, however I'm still forced to swype the screen; double-tap on the pop-up notification doesn't do it. Are my expectations wrong or do I need to tweak yet another setting?
Sorry for all the questions. I just came from being on pure stock Android for several years and Samsung has added all their own settings layer which makes it a little confusing as I'm switching phones.
After a month plus of waiting the phone came in today and right off the top there is good and not so good but have posted this prior to getting the phone for a family member
They have suffered a stroke so have some finger range of motion.
Coming from iPhone 12 we need the ability to have notifications to appear on opened lock screen like this and can not figure out how to get this to work..
All we get now it the screen sometimes lights up but no notifications other then the badges at the top and dim icons (twitter, IG, FB, email etc)
Thoughts?
Change the settings
Settings -> Lock Screen -> Notifications
Coming from an iPhone, it might be a good idea to look through the phone. It's going to be different, but you will find a lot of the same functionality.
