I know it still has wireless charging, but my worry is that they would somehow have forced Samsung to use PMA only and remove Qi. I think it's unlikely though.

Has anyone confirmed the bootloader status? Locked or unlocked?

Qi charging is there and works.
No Download Booster
Disable the att crapware yes u can.
Just noticed this, the night clock is messed up. The whole screen is like a brown color when the night clock is on. Really weird. When u rub the edge to bring up the ticker the screen goes black and the info shows up with a completely black background like it should. But when it times out and the night clock comes back on the whole screen is lit in a dim brown like color. I had the Note Edge and it never looked like this. It was always black with all the pixels off. It is not the case now.

I figured I'd add the pic. This first is the night clock and the second is the the ticker you access after rubbing the edge screen. See how the whole screen is illuminated in the first photo. It shouldn't be like that. That's the great thing about the edge and super amoled only certain parts of the screen can be on without powering pixels.

It seems to be a software issue affecting all units, My tmobile version does the same thing.

I can't seem to find how to change the settings menus look from vertical scroll from original tabs. Help please s6 edge at&t

Dont think you can. I have been looking for a way. Great ol' att imposing there will. Sigh.

ok, the two big missing features i've noticed so far:
Samsung simple sharing, no where to be found.
Download Booster, no where to be found.

the smart manager is also missing. You can see it in the applications manager under all, but it is not available for use.

AT&T's Director of Media Relations, Lance Skelly, says that he cannot confirm the removal of these features; he suggests we contact Samsung directly. I'm about to drive down to AT&T to test the display units, but just to make sure I'm on the same page as everyone else, these are the features in question:
Download Booster: Settings -> More connection settings -> Download booster -> turn on.
Samsung Simple Sharing: Visible through the normal sharing dialog.
Smart Manager: Reported missing by mjridore here, and supposed to be found as a dedicated app.

MySettings - new application for tuning of your Android by CurveFish

CurveFish team present our new app - MySettings.
Do you often change different frequently used system settings?
Then, MySettings is for you.
It’s beautiful tool that allows you quickly enable or disable different settings (ringer mode, brightness, gps, wi-fi, bluetooth, unlock pattern, autorotate, screen timeout, auto sync etc).
Now this version works only 1.6 firmware. On Cyanogen firmware doesn’t work brightness and flashlight. We soon will make support for 1.5 and 2.x firmware.
Current version: 1.0.0
Price: $2.10
Home page: MySettings CurveFish
Android Market link
Screenshots from 1.0.0 version:
When is the 2.x firmware version on the market?
castor.troy, after new year.
MySettings 1.0.1 have released: support for 1.5 firmware.
cyanogen update?
I would be willing to purchase this, but I have a few questions first.
Any news on when the brightness will be fixed? That is one of my most used settings.
1 problem I have with using 3rd party apps like this is the GPS. I love the stock power bar because I can click the GPS button and it will turn on/off with just the push. I've used many others (I believe manup being one of them), when I push the button, I get directed to the GPS settings under the phone menu, then I have to click the checkbox.
Does your app do that, or is it click and go? This is my second most used setting. I hate having to do the extra steps.
Did not show up on my Market
I tried purchasing from my HTC Dream Rogers, and I could not find the app by doing a Search.
By following the link on the web page, I got a "App Not Found" message ...
Willing to buy but cannot. Go figure!

following the link from my mytouch opened market and found app no problem.
Lower the price by $.11 and I'm in.
nice app but $2.10 is kind of steep. there is a free one in market that does the same, has all of the settings like in the curvefish one, just scroll down and you will see it in the app and a nice UI too. it's called Quick Settings.
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-bwx-bequick-zmDq.aspx
Free is good, but curvefish makes some good stuff. Gonna have to try that q quick settings to see if the brightness and GPS work, since I'm not getting any response

Grrrr
Quick settings is no good either. Brightness doesn't work, and the GPS is just a shortcut to the settings. No good.
So whats up curvefish? Any ETA on the brightness fix for Cyanogen and does this app have a GPS shortcut or actual toggle?

Define "works." If I set brightness, say to 32% from 75% and reboot, it reboots at 32%. So, it seems that each change in brightness requires a reboot. I can live with that. LOL.
I love the way CurveFish apps look! They blend nicely with my themes.
However, I think the price is a little steep - not because their labor isn't worth it - but, because there are free apps that they are competing with.
I have used toggle settings since it came out and it does all of this and more.
CurveFish would have to add custom profiles to this app for me to consider it over Toggle Settings.
MySettings 1.0.2 have released: show titles bug after rerun the app fixed and we decreased its cost - now $0.99. In next version we plan to add new features and make support for QVGA screens like HTC Tattoo.
I might give this app a try I just wanted to point out that the GPS issue people are complaining about isn't a bad design or anything like that, it's more of a "limitation" (I guess for security reasons). No 3rd party apps can enable or disable GPS, all they can do is take you to the settings page so you can switch it yourself. I believe this practice started in Android 1.5.

Where did S Planner go?

I really liked being able to write directly onto my calendar, but what happened to it?

right next to S Health. loll
I like it because it changes with my theme. using Google Calendar is just as easy to use as S Planner is though. it's too bad there isn't a widget for it though. I still always end up using Jorte as usual.

I agree. Also Snote and splanner are not the same unfortunately as you were trying to reference

AT&T in the U.S. renamed it Calendar but it's still S Planner. If it's completely missing it might be a regional thing. Use an app like Shortcut Maker and see if you can find it in your phone's apps and activities. It may be there but hidden and you can use a shortcut to you make to launch it.

I see calendar and it's fine, just your typical Google cal. I've searched all my apps (I am on Verizon by the way) and there is no s planner. There is no button at the top or anywhere for screen write. I'd imagine I could get the .apk from an at&t device, no?

If you're talking about being able to add hand written comments on week view that's gone. A casualty of Samsung's de-bloating efforts. You can still ink but it's not as broad as it used to be. For example, if you press a date on the calendar with the S Pen this pop-up appears. You can handwrite your meeting in to it but it auto-coverts to text.

hi,
Firstly, i had " something "similar (issue)
I my case i was missing my "auto rotate" icon, in my shortcut notification bar. I managed to sort it out, eventually.
I would suggest, try the following... it might work for you.?
1. check your notification shortcut "edit" to see if its not there.
If not,
2 Go to Samsung Store, search for "Quic Panel Restore app its a Samsung app.Install and" run " it. (see screenshot)
App is suppose to fix missing shortcut icons.
Plse note, that missing shortcut icons, is a common
" bug "for Samsung devices.!
From the then S6 device's (big issues then) plus all other Samsung models afterwards.
(You can Google issue and see)
In my case, QuickPanel Restore did not fix, nothing..!
I then had a idea, and downloaded 3rd party app" Auto rotate widget "
install it and switched /activated Auto rotate.
My icon showed up in my notification shortcut bar.! !
Yes, it a Samsung software bug !
Problem is, if i uninstalled" Auto Rotate widget "
my Auto rotate icon disappears from notification shortcut bar.! O, yes...
i do have the Mobile Hot spot (see screenshot)
Good luck

hi,
no, you are correct.! I did a search now and it's not showing.
Previous occasions it showsed for me.
Samsung must have "pulled" app from App Store.
Have you tried my last suggestion,?
re look for similar 3rd party app "Mobile Hot-spot"
Google or check Play store?
Install and see if it "enables" Notification shortcut icon for mobile hot-spot.
This method, worked for me re Auto Rotate and still does...... "forces" icon to show. up in Notification bar.
Good luck
Post note
Did a quick search Play store.
One app "Quick Settings for Android" (has Mobile hot-spot)
and a few others similar apps you can install and try.
Also make sure your carrier has not blocked Mobile Hot-spot ?
(reason maybe why not showing? )

Try these free ones instead - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74009537&postcount=107
* advantages
- overlay and not a seperate app
- no extra battery drain
- the image works and moves with the official samsung AOD app
- you can create your own images
- no delay or screen bugs
Sounds good.
Thank you.

Issue dixed in current update.
Works as described on Note 8 unrooted. However , i noticed that I lost the ability to use the clock widget. I can't swipe to see the other pages in the widget and interact with it. So I can't click next song for example when playing music.
This is the case even with pratial images (not full screen one's). As if im only clicking/interacting with the image overlay. Is this the case with everyone else?
Any fix? Does it work normally on rooted devices? How do I fox it pls ><
A little expensive the full pack... how many images can personalize? 1 or more?
It seems that there is no more support...
Nice app, but the paid options are way overpriced in my oppinion.
Paid user. Worked perfectly on my note 8. But now using a s10+, Nadroid 9.0 Pi.
The AOD images goes off often and aren't consistent. Only the images within the a few mm of the clock (box range) remains. While the rest reappearing sometimes only and on interactions.
Pls advice

Split Screen Android 9.0 Head unit - FIX
Coldswellhh said:

Click to collapse
Hi Coldswellhh, I have an Android 9.0 Pie PX5 head unit and my split screen wasn't working either. As i went through Settings > Car > Factory Settings > <Enter Passcode> i noticed a few things out of place.
1. My Radio band was set to Chinese (even though using almost the same frequencies) i set it too AUS. Then ithe Radio would hold the stations better before scanning for the next station.
2. When i open my doors or lift the hatch, a image appears on the screen as to which door or the hatch as open. But the front doors were inverted. If the left front door was open, the right front door would show as open on the screen but the back doors and the hatch were correct. So in Settings > Car > Factory Settings > Other there was an entry relating the the front doors and i could set them as normal or reversed.
So i set as reversed and viola the screen showed the front left door as open and it was correct. The rear and hatch were still correct.
Feeling a little proud of myself having corrected those two bugs bears, i noticed that split screen was suddenly working. I was flawed. I do not understand why it was working now unless, and this could be a long shot, because the front doors were now correctly showing on the screen, that the split screen bar that is on the left) is now correctly orientated to appear on the screen, it now works.
Anyway, though that might help you if you still having issue's waiting for an update.
Despite your units not being android auto, did you specifically see split screen as a feature being advertised on these butchered Chinese knockoffs?
What did the reseller suggest when contacted for support?
I have the Dasaita PX6 Android 9 and I installed the Hal9k_Mod_4.0_MTCD_MTCE_PX6_rom which does have the Split Screen and many other added features.

The advert did say that split screen was supported but wasn't working out of the box, not until made the changes i mentioned. I feel others might find it helpful to ge theirs going if not working out of the box too. Still unclear what the exact change was that got it working though.
