Samsung Lab in Settings? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

I have the T-Mobile variant and I do not see the Samsung Labs in settings. This is where we can turn off the app icon on the home screen. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks

I got my s7 already and installed nova, but wouldn't that be a touchwiz setting?

Its probably disabled by t-mobile if your phone is a carrier version

I was looking for it also I didn't see it

I am running Nova but I don't see it either way.

If Tmob removed SLabs and Whitepages I might have to return the phone and go international.

I won't be running the stock rom for long anyway.

True, but it should still be there!

Agreed. I wanted to try going without the app drawer (I'm aware of Nova Launcher). I don't know why T-Mobile would remove this from the phone.

Yea, surely it isn't a tmob thing.. maybe in the true release date they will have a software update

White pages is there just no labs

Hope that it gets root access quick. Maybe a custom rom could add the feature back to the phone

If there is root. It is possible im sure. They ported the new TouchWiz ui to the s4 last month with the circle settings.

Yeah, it doesn't work. It's just like Blocking Mode when the S3 was originally released. You could find it and turn it on in a similar way, but it didn't actually do anything when turned on (even though the icon was displayed in the task bar just like it is for this).

Yup the GN2 was the same way. It required extensive code to get it working right due to the integration with TouchWiz. I am hoping this might be quite a bit simpler.
I am going to compare the t-mobile code and the vzw code to see the differences.

S5 lag

Anyone having any lag on the s5... I changed from one m8 to s5 and the lag is shocking... Any ideas to counter this? Totally stock... Not even unlocked bootloader

I`am not xperiencing lags myself and i have about 120 apps installed and running TW launcher, but disabeling the lockscreen animation will make the S5 snappier imo.

if you are putting finger print lock or pattern or password it won't appear, but if you choose swipe it will appear down in lockscreen options
download the phone INFO app and check if you have a genuine S5 first.

There is no lag at all if you debloat all of the superfluous Samsung apps.
Or even easier, install a custom ROM like Phoenix or XtreStoLite and turn off the page animations.
.
The latest firmware update currently being rolled out has already solved this. My device is running smoothly with no problem at all

When is that firmware due?

Rolling the update to all countries / carriers normally takes time. But if you're unlocked, you can download latest UK stock rom & install it. It already includes the latest update

System lagging on wake up

Anyone else having issues with the system lagging or bogging down on wake up? When I get it unlocked it runs great, but is kind of annoying when I go to unlock and it takes a few seconds.

I think someone mentioned this in another thread. It might have to do with your SD Card, or it can be a theme if you have that applied
Well I went back to default theme and that seems to have fixed it...that sucks though, I liked my theme.

Was there any live wallpapers associated with your theme? try changing your lock screen wallpaper when you're using the theme see if that fixes it

Not to sure then I tried haha.
The phone is still new, so I'm guessing a lot of previous apps/themes still need to optimized for it. Give it a couple weeks; hopefully Sammy will release an update.
Hopefully. Thanks for your help.

Do you use an SD-Card?
If yes, remove it, restart your phone and see, if the lag still occurs

Nova pull down notifications

Is anybody using the swipe down for notifications? My phone freezes when I try to use it and I had accepted it on the accessibility tab.

Shouldn't freeze, but it will be super slow to pull down. That is a marshmallow bug that Nova's developer had submitted to Google. If it's actually freezing that's different and might be anice issue with something specific to your setup.

I'm not sure why it's happening either. Maybe I should just reset my nova launcher. The only times its worked is when I've been able to root my past phones with a similar setup on my Moto x pure, and nexus 6p.

This happened to me but then I updated to Nova Launcher beta apk and it cleared that issue. I think I had to register on Nova Launcher Google plus page.

Sure seems like it. I have a Battery section in my settings now, sure didn't on the Beta.
If you select "View as simplified list" in the settings menu then there is a "Device Maintenance" entry. It seems like it's just a category for four other settings pages, so not sure if it provides the same functionality as before.

Samsung Pay can be dowloaded from Galaxy Apps (in your Samsung folder in app drawer)
You can easily get this back and many other international features using this.
