Can't hide it in chrome.
Some games go full screen, some don't.
You can get apps that hide it, not tried any though
it seems to be app dependant.

Well that's a pain in the ass
Maybe I'm missing something but isn't that where the hole punch camera is? Without that wouldn't you have a hole in the app that obstructs the picture? I wish all apps did that.

It's down the game developer to choose what they do. As someone has said it would mean the hole punch is in the way. Wouldn't be great for all games
I've been finding the height of the status bar (as well as the black bar) pretty annoying.
I'm sure there will be a way to get around this (i.e. immersive mode) - might require root though

Google removed the wm overscan function in Android 11, so ADB command and immersive mode don't work without root.
The hight of the status bar is the only thing I don't like about this phone. Makes look cheap.
It's as thick as the notch on the iPhone!
My Note 10's status bar hight is 40% thinner than the Pixel 5. I think if Google had the front camera at the centre instead of the corner of the screen the status bar could be thinner.
Hopefully there will be a non root method soon.
So there's still no way to force all apps to display full screen?
There's a lot phones with the same camera hole, but going full screen as a charm! Its a bad idea to say, its up to game developers. A lot games have nothing in the camera place, but still have a cut black line in landscape mode. And only on the pixel. Im ready to root, but don't know how to get rid of that cut. How to force full screen in landscape?
I'll be waiting for a non root method...

Hi all, I am trying to find a way to hide the system bar.
on my SGT 10.1, HoneyBar used to work (you can hide the bar by clicking a space specified by the application, with offset and introduction modes)
However, the same application does not work on my SGT 7.7
Anyone got other solutions?
I use HideBar.

Thanks, quite some good tool there (especially the hidden back button). Although there's quite a bit of lag after I tried to do the unhide action. (but it happens on HoneyBar as well).
Honeybar works well for me
not working for me, everytime i click "hide status bar" nothing happens any suggestions?

It would be great if an app can hide the bar while playing video's
You can use mx video player.
It will automaticaly hide status bar.
HideBar didn't work well on my tab. (gt-p6810 imported from HK)
I can "hide status bar", but afterwards, never show it again.
What's the difference between others and me?
Anyway, I purchased HoneyBar
and that seems working well for now.

I've just checked it and found HoneyBar can work with both Dice and mVideoPlayer.
I could watch videos with true fullscreen without any problems,
there are some people who say HoneyBar didn't work from the start, though.
Android market has 15min refund window,
you can try on your own
Thanks, I didnt get the Tab yet.. waiting for later batches. The ones we have in my country seems to be a bit problematic.
Honeybar, Diceplayer & aspect ratios
So I also tried Honeybar with my brand spanking p6800 (ZSLA2 Hong Kong firmware) and confirm it effectively hides the status bar in all the places/apps I've tried it so far: Diceplayer, stock browser, gallery & home screen. If I discover somewhere it doesn't work I'll advise but so far so good. No issues at all un-hiding the bar - just tap the invisible spot bottom centre edge of screen.
Most useful usage for me - for web-browsing where screen space is at a premium. Easily worth the $1 for that alone.
I was actually most interested in it for use with video, and it certainly works as intended there but for me the effect was very subtle:
(i) hiding the already virtually invisible "movie mode" blacked out status bar with its tiny dark grey function locator dots (bar is of course more visible in a pitch black room, so more benefit there); and
(ii) as it frees up the space used by the status bar the video image is theoretically able to "expand" to occupy that space. No doubt this is a great benefit for those who like fill the frame or have 1.6:1 source material. But for me much of my sources are 16:9 and I prefer to run in native aspect i.e. black bars above and below the image. So in this case all hiding the status bar achieved was move to the video frame very slightly down the screen (without changing its aspect, or raw pixel width or height) so that the video image remained centered between the upper and lower bounds of the now slightly increased vertical accessible screen area.
Probably a bit too much detail there but hopefully useful for someone.
PS: currently flicking through a 7.5Mb/s rip of episode one from my Bluray box set of BBC Frozen Planet and it is... stunning.
Hmmm, I spoke too soon. So the above was all accurate - when Honeybar was working fine. Unfortunately Honeybar just started being temperamental.
It stopped hiding the bar for a while no matter what I did, including closing in application manager and reopening the app. Then after disabling and re-enabling within the honeybar app started working again. Now stopped again...
Now working again after closing it in application manager then reopening. I'll see if I can discern a trend...
Maybe restarting the device helps?
Should be reported as a bug to the developer though..
Can honeybar offset change from middle left to middle right?
I cant hit the select icon on portrait mode. cuz the offset is midde left will cover over it..
I am using hide bar from this thread and it works. I am rooted btw. Using Arc media for streamimg and it is great!

I don't think so. But there are apps which can force the status & navigation bar dissappear (like immersive mod) if you are interested.

I don't know :|. . Basically it will force the bars to pull down and you can bring them back with swipe(it's more like full screen with instant access to the bars) . (you activate the feature from power menu)
I hope that I helped

Yes you can. There's an Xposed module called force kitkat traslucent bars os something like, however I have tested it and disabled. Yes apps look awesome, but the problem is that as the bars become traslucent, the app doesn't detect they are there, what makes it impossible to press some buttons and creates some inconsistency on the notification bar. In my opinion even though it looks much better than black bars, I wouldn't enable it because of functionality, but it's up to you, you should try and see if it is worth
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!

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.

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

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.

I'm thinking it just hasn't been a big concern of theirs. It bothers me from time to time. For instance I can't always grab it and swipe it away because it's not really located where it shows it... But I've just come to live with it, been almost 2 years now.
Any way to move the clock/time to right side? Insert rant about android 9.
The usual samsung methods don't work. The SystemUI tuner app does not work either. TouchWiz is missing from the Beta+Rooted+adb permissions given version of the app. The custom entry keys (middle/right_clock_position) do nothing both on or off.
Also for the phone dialer, is there any way to change to one click to accept instead of the slide method?
ROG/ZenUI is really lacking in customization.

Don't think there is currently a way to move the clock. It bothered me too when I first got the phone, but now after a little over a week of use it's perfectly fine, I'm use to it. Not sure about the dialer tap to answer instead of slide, as I prefer slide to answer because it's less likely you'll accidentally answer an unwanted call.

Thanks, though now there's no way to show the 120HZ but not the auto-rotate indicator. Depending on if you have free or pro, it'll either show both or neither.
I guess nothing can work properly. It's about to be expected since it was never updated for android 9.
Thanks though.
EDIT: it's even more of a buggy mess, the temporary notifications don't disappear ever (message received, downloading item, etc .
Hrmm? Yes they do.
I've attached screenshots
It does not for me. The icons are stuck there after the notification ends. Are you using EdXposed and Flat status bar indicators v5.1.3?
I also have system tuner UI installed which may interfere with it.
EDIT: It turns out SandHook is more stable than YAHFA in this case.
