Just slide that area down and it will show.
It's just like one of the expansive notifications. If you slide your finger down the notification toggles area it show. And if you slide your finger up that area it should hide it.

It's not the case for me. Not working I've tried swiping in every direction. I do have Wanam installed with a couple of tweaks. Hopefully that's not the reason it's not working because I can't do without Wanam.

Hi all, I can help you !
GS5 user here, soon to be Note 4 - but I just tested this out on mine and got it to work.
To add/remove the brightness adjustment, drag the notification screen down, touch the upper right icon that looks like 4 boxes, touch the little pen icon to Edit your menu and check/uncheck the Brightness adjustment option.

That option does not exist on the Note 4. G5, yes, Note 4, no.

happened to me during the 1st day when I was playing around with everything, I do believe it happened when I hit the ultra powersaving mode option, then after disabling that feature, I think it came back after a restart,

I wish mine was gone!

I know this thread is long dead, but I had the same issue and found a solution. First, the slider had only disappeared when I was on manual brightness. As soon as I turned on manual from the notification panel, it disappeared. Here's the voodoo I found in desperation that got it to work.
With auto-brightness already on (and in the notification panel) Go to Settings>Display>Brightness and move the slider (do not click the uncheck). Drop the panel down, and it should now be there and you can check and uncheck without it disappearing. Some dumb glitch, and simply turning auto-brightness back on the settings panel would only bring it back until I switched off auto-brightness.

[IDEA] Status Bar Brightness changer

I had seen a friends Samsung Vibrant and he showed me how you can actually raise and lower the brightness settings of the phone by holding your finger on the status bar for a second and then swiping either left or right on it to adjust the brightness levels.
Just a cool feature if anybody is interested in investigating it.
Thanks,

I've seen this in action and it's pretty cool. Wonder if it's hiding in an .apk somewhere....
As far as I know, its in the framework Part and @kmobs tried it but needs help with the linear layout ...
Any application?
Is there any application with this feature? To change screen brightness INTO the status bar.
Any one can create such application?

You could
There are ROMs with brightness controls in the notifications.. Open Notification bar, tap the icon.. Has various options from Auto/30/100 all the way up to like 5 or so options. I tend to leave mine on Auto except when I'm using the phone as a car GPS in which case I need it brighter, and I let Tasker do that for me.

[Q] Couple of ViperOne questions

Hey, just have a couple questions about things I can't seem to figure out.
Am running 2.1.0 now, and when I pull down the notification bar, whether I have notifications or not, it is coming up with the full page of toggles instead of the notification bar with the weather/horizontal scrolling toggles etc. How do I change this back? It never used to default to that.
And secondly, in the same notification window, how do I bring the cpu readings back?

Legend. Thank you!
Actually, wait. The info bar one worked. The notification wasn't quite what I was after. When I pull down the notification bar it's defaulting to the whole wrong page. The large toggle page instead of the notification window.

I'm glad the info bar worked! There's so many tweaks in the rom its hard to find them lol.
Yeah, I'm getting the feeling the pull down defaulting to the wrong page is a bug, a few people in the thread have reported it. Been playing with it, and it's hit or miss for me what happens when I pull down the screen, it's annoying. The devs will fix it, for now I turned off the large toggle page
You can change everything in venom tweaks
Hard to find is right! Glad to hear I'm not the only one with the issue, I searched through the thread for ages before posting, but it's just as hard to find anything in there...
Didn't know you could turn the big toggles off, I never use them so will do so now! Mine is also hit and miss when it happens it seems. Thanks again for your help.

Glad to help you get it sorted. I wasn't sure if you could turn the big toggles page off either (they're called quick settings), but there is an option under the Statusbar tab in Venom Tweaks to turn them off, so I did, never really used them anyways. The Extended Quick Settings and the CPU info still show up on the notification screen, so I'm good.
Let me know if you need anymore help, you can always pm me if needed

HELP changed notification how to undo?

Last night I was in done settings menu and saw anything about notifications and turned it on to see what it would do. Now instead of the usual notificationsthat pop up, I get a thin floating pop up notification instead. I want to switch back and went to they're I thought I did it, but can't find they setting. I've tried searching the phones settings for notification, popup, floating..... but can't find it.
Does anyone know where I need to go?
My goodness I've become that guy that changes a setting then can't undo it! ?
Not sure how you did it but can you post a screen shot of the thin floating notifications? I'm intrigued....

Hopefully this works. Having do everything from my phone as hurricane Irma has left me with out internet for the last 7 days.
Here is a screenshot of a text I sent myself from my other phone.
Edit: added screenshot of regular notification for comparison.
I just googled that, the setting is under "edge lighting". Just turned it on, I really like it.

Edit: apparently a can't have edge lighting without the "thin floating" notifications. I could of sworn I clicked something to enable it, besides edge lighting.
That sucks I want the edge lighting without the thin floating notification. ?
I did the same thing.... Googled this does hours... Smh

side light..

Have you tried this feature. Lights up the screen when you receive any notification.. You can set it to other colors..
#prettycool
I've been playing around with this myself, doesn't appear like there is any customization to this which I wish there was to extend the time it stays on screen. Also it doesn't seem to work if you use custom texting apps for example.
Yeah it would have been nice to customize the colors, duration (time and repeat), and which notifications. Really like it though. I've missed a flashing status light to get my attention.

Go to notification settings on the custom texting app, importance, urgent. That should activate the blue frame. Worked for me on the Signal text app.
useless in the dark?
It almost makes up for the lack of Notification LED.
My only issue with this feature is that it only works when the AOD is on... so it is useless at night or in the dark.
I haven't figured out how to keep the AOD on while in the dark, I feel the phone vibrate but you have to press the power button a couple of times to wake up the V40. Anyone else having a similar issue? is there a setting?

Come to find out my issue is with the screen protector. It doesn't have a notch at the top, just holes for the cameras and speaker, and a clear spot for the sensor between the cameras... but that's not enough. So when there is not enough light, the sensor thinks it's in the pocket and the screen goes dark... and no knock to un-lock.

Yes, KnockON is enabled under "Extensions". I've found that knock or fingerprint don't work if the sensor in the front is covered. Only the power button.

Hey guys give this a try, I hate AOD and I'm disappointed this phone has no LED. But I traded this phone for my Mate 10 Pro so it's alright.

Immersive mode

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone has found a way to get full immersive mode.
I know you can hide the navbar but I'd love to hide the status bar as well and make it so that apps go around the camera hole.
I don't want to hide the hole but want to put the whole screen up so that I don't see in every app the time and all the status bar icons. Thanks a lot!
I want that too, but apparently no app is able to do that on my Galaxy S10. Hope to see that feature available soon!

Does it work with apps as well? I guess this is not that doable since I'd be probably missing some buttons that are over there...

Yes, of course
Please send immersive mode requests to Samsung via feedback, or by emailing them. Right now the adb commands create annoying black bars instead of extending the screen.
I currently don't have my S10 yet, but use 'SystemUI Tuner' on my OnePlus 6 to do immersive mode.
Doesn't work with s10 it appears a black bar...

Technically you could remove the black back by going into Settings>Display>Full Screen apps and selecting all to be full screen instead of auto. However this makes removing the status bar useless since even though you don't get the black bar you still do get a bar that's the color of the app. Green for whatsapp for instance. So you're not actually getting any more screen real estate, just hiding the status bar which I find it easier to do through adb instead of any other app which requires you to give more permissions hence to type more in the terminal.
I'm looking for a way to hide the status bar and have the screen go up and around the camera cutout, just like it works on any other phone which doesn't have a camera cutout

I'm afraid not, still looking. I tried several apps and adb. Even wscan command on adb which was something I used to shift the screen down to hide the navbar before pie. Nothing seems to work

Strange because apps can go full screen, like Netflix and YouTube Vanced. Just that stubborn black shaded status bar won't shift.

Yeah that's the same thing I thought of. I guess on apps you would lose some keys for instance on WhatsApp the ability to make calls... But I still would want to hide the status bar
Samsung makes these awesome panels but makes its almost impossible to remove the static elements opening us up to burn in. Toss us a bone Samsung or use a different display tech!

I opened myself 2 threads about this on xda and one on reddit XD this is soooooooo important to me but no one seems to really care about it much! no one could help how can it be, that folks buy a S10 because of it's infinity display which has very little top and side bezels but are completely fine with a huuuuuuuge statusbar that's just a software bezel because of the bad software.... don't get me started about the possible burn in issues or uneven wear.
the usual adb command don't work
Sammy's own settings in the settings app where you can choose between automatic and fullscreen does nothing
the only thing that worked for me was app cloner so far. I cloned apple music, relay, spotify and tumblr and the difference that it makes is soooo huge!!!! Sammy has to do something about this. Getting all that space back, seeing the content scroll behind and around the punch hole and up to the frame which let's you notice how thin the top bezel really is.... yes on most apps some element get's get blocked by the punch hole, but if you are familiar with the app and know that there is something you can still touch it and it works, or what I do is, triggering one handed mode for a second pressing it and move on. for me that would work. Sammy should put a disclaimer saying, can cause some issues with certain apps and let us use all the apps we wan't in fullscreen/immersive mode. It sure does look better and that's the way I'm gonna be using my S10 after rooting.
please if you have more tips how to get immersive mode, let me know.

Yes of course! like I mentioned before I always use my apps in immersive mode but for once I own a device that's not rooted yet and therefore hasn't a dozen of custom roms with the ability to tweak settings. And because the usual adb commands do nothing I remembered that app cloner had a bunch a display settings which you can mess with. And viola! It has an option to flag apps as immersive mode apps and it actually works! It seems to use a different hook/way to force apps into immersive mode and the result is just beautiful!!! Now you can really enjoy the Display of the S10.
Let me tell ya, after using apps in immersive mode for a hot minute and going back to the stock way sammy intended for us to use the S10, I have to say sammy did only a half hearted job on this. Yeah hardware side is nice but the software side is lacking and not utilizing the hardware. It seems like they didn't now any better and settled on a huge arse statusbar. Maybe because this isn't iOS where developers can develop for specific hardware not like on android.
The Downside? some elements do get in the way and require some kind of a workaround. In this case I settled on using one handed mode which brings the top half part of the screen down revealing those blocked elements by the punch hole. This works so far very good and I'm already used to it. Some elements peak out behind the punch hole so you already know there is something, in this case you can still touch that area because even the punch hole has a digitizer in that area.
S10+amoled theme+Substratum black theme+apps in immersive mode= In my opinion the best way to use this device and forget/never notice punch hole ever.
This should be a bigger deal and more people should talk about this. xda should cover this on the Frontpage.
