Minor bugs S7 edge - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

Not a big deal, just wondered if any others exist?
On my calender widget, found when pressing on "today" it was a day off.
I found calender has its own separate time zone. It had me set in Asia, changed it all is good
Also for me, I used package disabler pro and it altered my system and would not allow updates or anything. Even after an unusual install. Had to factory reset to clear it
Anybody find other stuff?

Clock missing from title bar...help anyone?

Hey I got my XDA Exec this morning which I'm really please about, been using it for a couple of hours but for some reason the clock has disappeared from the title bar in the today screen and I can't get it back!
Does anyone know what might have happened, about the only thing I've got installed is Pocket Plus 3.
Infact i've noticed that the volume icon is gone too, but if i click where it should be the pop-up appears for me to change the volume levels.
It's like there is something covering these two icons and it's driving me mad, having the time visible there is about one of the most useful things :twisted:
This is a common problem
This happened to me too. It was caused by the O2 software. If you do a search on this site using the words "clock missing" there have been many posts on this subject and the solutions of how to remove the O2 software are posted too.
The O2 interface also seems to slow up the machine and cause a lot of freezing requiring a soft reset. My machine has been tons better since removing it.
If you decide that you would rather have the clock than the O2 software (and most people do) and decide to remove it, remember first of all to save your phone and GPRS setting to your filestore! This can save you a lot of time. If you like the 02 today screen theme then you could save this too.
Also I recommend that you make a backup first so that you can go back to how you are now if you need to.
Good Luck
Open the clock and you should find an extra tab at the bottom called - "More" select that and a new option appears Display the clock on the title bar in all programs.
Neither of those options worked, in the end I hard resetted the device and set it up in corporate mode I found using a PIN I got by just searching google! No more O2 Active anywhere, and I've got my clock back! I'd only had the device a few hours so luckily it didn't take too long to set everything back up how it was before hand The only thing I had to do was manually set up the GPRS connection again but that was simple enough since I already had all the settings saved

Reminders wont sound and bubble wont appear.

I recently updated the firmware on my X1i and entered all my reminders again. The problem is that even though the correct check boxes are checked there is still the problem that the sound wont play and the bubble doesn't appear to notify me.
Any ideas?
fix reminders
i had this issue, and i dont remember where i found this solution, but im pretty sure its a common one. I dont know why this works, but it does
start/settings/system/clocks and alarms
switch your time to "visiting, hit ok and exit the clocks and alarms settings.
then open it again, switch back to "home" time, and viola!
I dont know why this works, but it does, and it usually sticks for quite a while, though i do occasionally have to do it again which is still unacceptable in my book, but I have yet to find a better solution than this.
Thankyou
This has fixed my problem, thanks loads.

Reminders no longer working, sound or pop up notification
Many thanks, confirm this fix of changing between clock 'Home' and 'Visiting' locations (along with saying yes to coresponding change of calendar times each time) fixed this issue for me to.
For reference I was using stock Sony R3A rom and believe this happened after I silenced an alarm set via the SPB Mobile Shell panel downloaded off Sony's own site. (Old WM, New X1 user so been holding off my re-flashing itch ;-)

Weather function no longer works!

I have had my phone for about a month now, and use the weather function a lot by pressing just under the clock on the Home screen.
Today, out of the blue, I press it, and it appears to register (ie: the screen depresses) however nothing happens at all.
This happens regardless od whether I am connected to the internet or not.
The only thing I have installed is Resco Explorer, and made only a few registry tweaks, which I am sure were performed correctly.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
try turning the tab off and then on again.
Thanks for the reply, but I'm a little new to all of this.
What do you mean by "turning the tab off"?
when you go to the weather tab, you can update the weather of your location?
I've seen this a few times, the weather area turns off white when you tap but doesn't open the weather tab.
simple soft reset cures it.
No soft reset didn't fix it.....but....
Yesterday I clicked Menu, Personalize Home Screen Tabs.
I UNchecked "weather" because I thought what's the point of having a tab for it when I usually just tap under the clock.
I re-checked it, and now it works! I'm so sorry to have wasted your time! But truly appreciate your efforts in helping me. Thanks guys.
My problem is different, but the question is the same.
i'm in holland and since halfway last week my location in the weather tab failed to update, but i did get weather information... until 2 days later. now the whole tab is unable to update its information.
the weather tab has been disabled and reenabled with a sense restart in between. yesterday i had rebooted the entire phone. both events did not help.
i tried enabling wifi for the weather update, but no luck there as well.
also, i'm not the only one. i have a friend with a newer rom (1 month old phone) who has the same problem.
any ideas?
oh and ps: the reloading animation starts up and loads for a while. then stops suddenly without notification of failure or success.
pps: found a more on-topic thread for my problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589132

Cursor and Dialog Box icons glitch faulty incorrect

Hi Everyone,
Recently my phone was updated to Android v7 and since then I noticed that the icons for the cursor in text boxes and system dialog boxes have got messed up.
I read on Android central, one user posted that uninstalling Kaspersky fixed the issue, although in my case I don't have Kaspersky, so I can't go about uninstalling all apps, got a hell lot of them!

It's frustrating everytime i see this... Please help me...
I think I'm having a similar issue... the cursor locator (below the cursor which points to it) is the wrong size. I tried changing resolutions, nothing fixed it. This also happens when text is selected by long pressing, the selector graphics are too large and it gets cut off. It was working fine when phone was new, I cannot remember at which point it started messing up. Possibly after Oculus VR first changed the screen resolution to WQHD? I set it back to FHD for normal use, but problem persists.
Pertinent Info:
G930f
G930FXXU1DQD7 BTU firmware
phone not rooted

Maybe found a clue.... this problem seems to occur everywhere, except in a few apps, namely Signal and FB Messenger and FB itself. I thought it might be only in Gapps, but it happens in a few apps that are not part of Gapps. I have seen other people had issues with the little on/off sliders for options in different menu screens under setting, but mine all look fine.

I have those glitches as well apart from what i posted.
I read online its because of some app messing things up. I seriously don't want to reset and start testing this out one app at a time. It will take at least a few days to get back up to speed.
Thanks :crying:

VERY annoying thing

Hi, guys
Just bought the S10+ for 3 days. All good until today. It had 3 software updates and now after the second one I have the following issue -there is a white rectangle surrounding the text of the notification pannel when you swipe down to see it ( the one with wifi, mobile data , vibrate, bluetooth, portrait mode etc). I am not sure what it's called but I think you get it.
So basically I have the wifi icon for example but the text is not "wifi" in blue/white color and the black or white background but instead the text is surrounded by a white or black (if night mode is off) rectangle. Like a tag or something. It is annoying that I can't post a picture of it.
Is this a glitch or something ? It really annoys me.
Thanks !
I'm not familiar with that glitch. The first thing to try is booting into recovery and wiping the system cache which will likely fix your issue.
If you are using a theme that could also be the culprit--unlike the theme stores on Xiaomi and Huawei phones Samsung isn't good about warning users when a theme might be out of date or incompatible.
The last thing to try is a complete factory reset of your phone which hopefully won't be necessary.
When doing a factory reset due to the type of issue you are describing you are much better off using the fresh start option in the phone setup screen rather than choosing to restore from a Google Cloud backup because the backup can also restore corrupted system data that is creating your issue so you end up restoring your problem along with your apps.
Fixed it.
It's a stupid setting in accessibility - > show button shapes.
Thanks though.

I've never even heard of that setting but it's good you were able to fix it.
Before the S10+ I haven't owned a Samsung phone in quite a while but I'm definitely not a fan of One UI. Samsung baked in way too much useless garbage.
