Just picked up my 64gb s6 edge and noticed that you can actually sort the app draw by alphabetical order. I could of swore ppl ssaying that it wasn't possible.
They where, but was unfounded. Even the screen shot of the device at mwc showed the A-Z button. People just like to get all worked up over stuff. Just like the HTC overheating issue and the sgs6 bend gate. A hydraulic press can bend a phone at 170lbs OMG no way! LOL
I'd be surprised if there was ever a phone moving forward that didn't sort alphabetical.
That being said on mine it won't stay A-Z. I can press the button and it will change it but if I go out and come back I have to do it again. Is this working the same for others? Or is it keeping the alphabetical order after the first press?

Weird. Mine stays alphabetical.
Well that's good to hear. I'll reset mine and see if it starts working.
Thought it would be weird to put the alphabetical order in and make it rest every time.
A-Z in App draw
Hey guys,
I just got my S6 Edge, I'm in the UK and my App Draw definitely does NOT have an A-Z button. the only button I got is the EDIT button which allows you to manually move them about or uninstall the app.
Mine sorts, but I've noticed that any new apps I install go to the end of the list until I re-sort. Not a big deal to me, just have to remember it every time I install something new.
no a-z in app draw
im also in the uk and only have an edit option on the app draw (s6 edge), so that means i cant sort my apps alphabetically? is there another way to do it?
US VZW here. I have A-Z but it resets constantly.

So, I was in the Market -> Downloads and was going through the apps and rating them. At some point, my fingers went crazy and I did something that brought up what appeared with a quick glance as a window with icons for the currently running applications. There were only 6 of them I think. My question is, how in the world do I bring that list back up again? I've tried everything to get it to display with no luck.

Thanks! I was driving myself crazy trying to figure out what I did. Not very useful to me but nice to know. Figures, I long-pressed everything but the Home button.
Okay, so I want to be able to do a couple of things. The first is nagging me, as I'm sure there's a way to do it, the second I'm not so sure about.
1) I want to be able to access the multi-tasking/Recent Apps list from anywhere. My idea is to push and hold Menu to get it to pop up, since Home uses Google Now when it's pushed and held. I know there was a way to do that with the search key back when we had 4 keys using LaunchKey, but I can't find anything to let me assign push/hold functionality to Menu. I'm rooted, so I'm sure there's a way to do this...
2) This I'm not so sure of. Because of the charging port being on the side of the phone, it works best in my car when it's held in a landscape orientation in my windshield-mounted dock. This is great for everything except one thing: the dialer. I know in most AOSP custom ROMs I've used on other phones, the dialer rotates with the phone. Since I've rarely stuck to stock on a phone before, and we're kind of forced to here, is there a way to get the dialer to rotate?

Double tap the home key brings up the recent apps.

1. What jonslice says.
2. Download another dialer in the play store.
Holy crap. I feel so stupid now. How did I not know that? LOL
And yeah, downloaded another dialer. Forgot I could do that (since I've never really done it before). Thanks guys!
Anyone have any idea how to use this? When I select this mode, I get the pop up window that explains what it is and the message at the bottom to align the circle with the pointer, but the screen shows a blue dot inside the white circle no matter where I'm pointing, which orientation I'm holding the phone and there's no option to activate the camera....it's grayed out, and the settings are for the video only. I can tap on the video button, but then it just records video.
Anyone have any idea how to actually use this mode?
Follow the information on the screen. It'll tell you what to do. The dot will be your focal point and the Circle will eventually pop up. You'll need to go either left or right or straight.

The circle doesn't do anything. I have it pointing down a hall way and nothing happens. ..
once you start panning or moving forward a new circle shows up, you just match the dot to the new circle, very simple
Is it supposed to automatically just detect the "scene" and start? Are there some other settings that, when activated, disable this functionality? Do you have to activate the first shot by hitting the camera button (because if so, mine doesn't let me tap on it).

Ok, after 30 mins with Samsung tech support and then booting up into Safe Mode, we determined that there's some 3rd party app that may be inhibiting the VT Shot function, because it DID work in Safe Mode. I even uninstalled the google camera app.....Although that didn't seem to be the issue.....with this in mind, and knowing that this phone is not rooted, what's the best approach to help identify which app could be the culprit here? I don't want to wholesale factory reset and slowly add one app at a time....any ideas?

SOLVED! I FIGURED OUT THE CULPRIT! On my old S4, I was using the app "Moves" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.protogeo.moves) which was a Pedometer app. But now that S Health is so integrated with the phone, I actually don't need it, so when I removed it, Virtual Tour Shot cam mode started working. Makes sense that the app would interfere with the motion sensor.....

i bet you feel soooooooo relieved. its one of the best feelings in the world to go through meticulous trial and error and finally find the problem. congrats i really know how you feel haha
For sure! Especially because this is my first Android device which I have NOT rooted (victim of circumstance, not elective), so I knew it wasn't because of some weird rooted circumventing process. On the plus side, with s health's built-in pedometer setting, there's no need for Moves anymore.

Got the official android pie One UI update tonight and just wtf is this mess ? I like the reachable menu items but no swiping across to access the next menu item is less intuitive. Swiping down to access notification is now drawn out, a quick flick down doesn't open it you have to drag your finger down. Performance modes seem to be missing.
All in all it just looks like iPhone OS.
I'll get used to it a guess, well I'll have to won't I ?
I'm sure there's more I'm going to complain about as I've only been on Pie for about 20mins.

Can't disable Bixby, omg are you really happy with this steaming pile ? I feel like someone has took my flagship Samsung phone and replaced it with a budget model.
Now I'm gonna have to factory wipe it cos it's running like a bag of ****, stuttering
I completely agree. It's really terrible.
What have they done to multitasking?
You used to be able to swipe from one corner of a full screen app to put it in windowed mode. That's completely gone.
In order to use split screen you have to go into recents. Swipe back to the app you were using (because it moves away from view). Tap the icon at the top of the app. Select "open in split screen view". Then either scroll through all your recent apps to find the one you want to have one the bottom half of the screen. Or if it isn't in your recent apps you have to find it by typing into a search box! (You can't even switch which is top and bottom any more.)
In Oreo you just opened recents tapped split screen on one app and selected the other from the app-list in the bottom.
Totally! I am so frustrated that I threw my phone from a moving car. Never touching a Samsung again. That will teach them. I bet they will go out of business now!

No-one else has these problems so it's not the OS, have you factory reset yet?
Always factory reset after a major OS update Oreo > Pie
Or as I already explained how to, flash back to Oreo

It's a new OS, it is different to the last one, there is an easy way to go back, no-one likes listening to someone complaining about everything possible in multiple threads for no reason other than you don't like it, that's not productive and is not going to change anything, so either learn to live with it or flash back to Oreo
Why keep complaining you don't like Pie when you absolutely do not have to use it? It's just whining mate, no-one likes that and all you'll do (As is already happening) is annoy other members
If you're having problems with it, then by all means ask questions on how to fix it, but don't just keep posting the same old thing over and over saying it's crap it's crap, you don't like it, we get it
EDIT - Go spam Samsung's twitter account with your dislikes, at least the people who did this horrendous thing to your phone will hear you that way

Come on mate, you must know it's not helping anything, totally understand it's not cool when features you used are removed, happened to me with my S7 and I took Samsung's head off about it, but other than an initial post here asking where it had gone, there's no need to keep hammering it, it's gone.
If you need a hand flashing back to Oreo I`ll happily help, only take a few mins once you have the firmware downloaded

One answer to that is dont use Samsung apps. I have plenty of space so I use the Google dialer, Google Messages, and Google calendar. In fact, I don't use any stock Samsung apps and have most of them disabled along with Samsung Experience Home. With Home disabled the recent menu is vertical again. Of course, with receents vertical you can't use the hold home slide right option.

You can disable Bixby and Software updates using Package Disabler Pro, does not require root either
Hi, I'm running stock Android 10 on my Note 9. One of the most annoying "features" is that incoming calls take up the whole screen with no possible means of dismissing, or switching to another app while its ringing. Often I don't want to send it to VM so I don't want to reject nor answer the call. I silence the ringer, I want to let it ring but I don't want to stare at the screen for the entire time its ringing. I have the show in pop up window enabled, but that only works if I have another app open. If a call just comes in when I don't have another app open, it obnoxiously takes over the phone with no options to do anything other than pressing either the red or green call buttons. Is there a way to change this behavior or can I install another dialer app and make it my default? I'm seriously amazed this is how it was designed to work!
If you're not in another app, why does it bother you?
If you mean when the phone is idle with screen off and a call comes in then I don't see a point in not being fullscreen.
When it is updated to ui 2.1 there might be a setting to change call display while using other apps/mini popup

Whether you see the point or not doesn't really matter, if I'm asking, what I'd like to know is can it be done or not? I don't understand these non informative responses. Why do you bother taking the time to respond only to say you don't see the point why I'm asking?
However, if you must fully understand before giving a more useful answer, I use Google voice and I need to see which calls come from Google voice as a forward versus direct calls to my cell phone number. The only way to differentiate is seeing if hangout is also ringing or not. Occasionally hang out starts up first in which case it works like a charm. But every time the phone app rings first, it locks the screen and I cannot navigate to the Hangouts app or even pull down the notification to see if Hangouts is even ringing.
That's only one reason. The other is if I don't want to send the call to voicemail, and I want to let it ring, I don't necessarily feel like staring at my phone for 30 seconds if I want to do something else on it. I've had many phones and this is the only one that is acting this way. It's dumb.

as I have already stated, I already have that option checked off but it only works as you said while in other apps. I question specifically was for times when I am not in other apps.

Thank you, that was much more helpful! I'm not sure if it's due to the difference of S10 vs Note 9, but the swiping down diagonally from your left to lower right doesn't do anything for me. Anyways, I guess we have exhausted all options and using the edge is probably the best one for me. Thanks again!

Glad it works. If you'd like to try the swipe from corner to make the window small but you can't right now try to install Good Lock and use the module MultiStar. Inside this module there's an option called "Pop-up view action" which enables (or forces or re-enables xd) the functionality to swipe from the top corner diagonally in order to make the currently open app's window smaller.
If Good Lock does not work where you live then use either FineLock or NiceLock from the play store and install the module from here manually: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...amsung-multistar-3-2-28-android-apk-download/
