No more Floating Messages on MM N910F? - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
my device is unrooted and I'm looking for FLOATING MESSAGES option but I can't find it. This option is not available on N910F with Marshmallow?
Thanks.

This might be what your looking for
Messages-> Settings-Notifications-> Popup Display (Check it)

Already activated it but Floating Messages is a bit different: more like Messenger's chat head.

I dont Really know what you mean with messengers chat head but I can tell you that original ''floating messeges'' is in touchwiz since s6 so you are searching something which wasn't there. S6 s7 and note 5 ports have the option but not stock n910f firmware.

Skype and portrait mode

Is there a skype version (maybe modified) that also works in portrait mode?
I can only use landscape and it's very annoying..

There is a app called for ''Orientation control''. It works great on HTC One X, try it.
In the Google market, there's a time around November? I think where they made the update and you can see people complaining. I don't remember the exact version, but if you can find the version just prior to that, you can use portrait mode again. It's more than just orientation control -- Skype also adjusts the outgoing camera picture.
I think you're looking for the last version before 3.0. I'm going to have to dig the link up myself so if I find it I'll post it here.
EDIT: Try this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1148708 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31041722&postcount=2396

There isn't native video calling on Android that I am aware of, Well I have never seen any on models I have used anyways. Use Hangouts/Skype or have a look around the play store.
EDIT: Actually scratch that, I have it on my ROM, contacts > view contact and it'll show video call option
i try that view contacts but i still the same no icon for videocalls

I use a custom ROM maybe why I have video call option. Isn't something I have ever used or will use though in all honesty.

Send Whatsapp messages from Wearable

Hello, I have a G Watch, and I know you can answer Whatsapp messages with it, but what about sending one when nobody actually did? i.e. begin a conversation or tell someone you're late without needing that person to tell you nothing.
I hope you can help me.
And no, not going to use SMS or other platforms. If it's not possible, please say so.
Nobody knows how to help me? D:

Hi LoTableT, it was my mistake.
After you told me that, i had realized that i didn't mention in the description that after the installation you need to restart the watch.
I've tested alot my app but i only have 1 watch to do the testing.
Since you already bought the app, please try to download it again(in a few hours will be active again in the playstore), root the phone and restart the watch after the installation, then all should work perfectly.
And offcorse, if you have any kind of problem you can contact me, I will be happy to help.
Thank you for everything.

Message tone for each person in S8 Oreo.

Can you set a message tone for an individual person ?
Please tell me how?
Thanks.

Hi There,
Nope, just ring tone for individual person (at least I didn't find it)
Very bad. At Nougat I could.

Unfortunately Samsung removed the custom sms tone that you could select in the contact apps (if the contact was on the phone btw) in Oreo. I guess because of the new notifications system in Oreo.
To get the same feature, you can install the "Android Messages" SMS client (the one from Google) and let it replace the Samsung messages application. With android messages you get a distinct notification for each conversation. And as such you can have a distinct tone for each conversation (so for each individual person). I have not tried to see if the custom notification persist if you remove the conversation (I know it was NOT the case in Nougat for either Android Messages, or Textra can't remember exactly)
I can confirm on my phone that this feature is gone after the Oreo update
(I had the beta but never checked or used it)
I know for a fact on the Verizon messaging app you can set different notification sounds for each individual contact

Have same issue since Oreo update yesterday. Need another option for messaging since custom tones are gone
Galaxy S8 no longer has the ability to do individual sms notification sounds after oreo update in the native messenger app. Samsung/Google really dropped the ball on that one. I guess it's their way of forcing us into a different messaging app. What's next... they'll take away the ability to make phone calls so that we have to use an app like Facebook messenger or hangouts to make calls?
This is the stupidest **** ever. I ****ing hate when am "update" ends up removing features you used to have. And no I don't want to use a 3rd party sms. I ****ing hate the oreo update.
Workaround
Hey everyone. This may be a good temporary fix if you want to keep the default Samsung SMS app for now:
Note: Unfortunately I am not able to post a link. The app is called SMS Popup and there are really good instructions on how to set it up on a site called the androidsoul
This loads a small separate app that overrides just the notification portion of the default Samsung messenger app. Haven't tried it yet...that's next. But it looks promising.

I was wondering if this actually worked since it doesn't look like Zedge can do it and a reviewer commented that they couldn't get this working either...still would prefer to have this baked into the OS like it was in Nougat but wanted to see if this worked and how well it works (glitches like not working...I had this app when I had my Nexus 5 and it was ok...can't recall why I uninstalled eventually tho).

The site I found the info on was from March 22 and listed the S9 as one of the devices the fix will work for, so I hope it is the magic "temporary" key. If someone beets me to testing it, please post your results. I have to wait until I am done doing some business before I start messing with my messenger
SMS Popup make two sound. Standard & later custom one. Its no a solution.

Huh? I know about Textra but it doesn't play nicely with my Gear S3 Frontier so no thanks.
I actually liked Samsung Messages (especially since I've ditched other 3rd party launchers and use Samsung themes) and it did everything I wanted on Nougat...Samsung's implementation of OREO is a PITA tho. Hoping with enough complaints that they add back 'Message Notifications' in 8.1 / Samsung Experience 9.0.1.
(Yeah, I've used Textra before -- still a great app as well Pulse, Mood, and with Android Messages moving to RCS - it's a good (yes still simple) messaging app too.)

Samsung have removed this option on the S8 OREO & S9. The best way I have found is to install Textra SMS.
This is fully customisable...

Samsung Gear Sport (or S3) compatibility with 6t

I have a 6t and love it and looking to add a smart watch . I really a leaning towards the Samsung Gear Sport (or possibly an s3) over a Wear OS watch. I'm concerned over compatibility with it being a non Samsung phone and certain functionality not working . The main things i'm wondering about is SMS messages, Call info, email coming to the watch. The compatibility page for the Sport shows not compatible with non-samsung android for messaging specifically but i've read others say they had luck w/ it. (although i'm not certain if thats w/ the S3 or Sport). I'm curious if anyone w/ a 6 or 6t has had any experience w/ the Gear Sport (or s3) w/ those features specifically.
Beyond that the big things i am wanting to use is standalone GPS and offline music but dont think i'd have an issue w/ that
any feedback would be awesome! thank you!
i have 6t and gear s3. it works like any other android phones.
havent had any issue yet.
Awesome thank you. So if you get a text or email can you read it on the watch and reply? Incoming call info good too? I wonder if the same works on the sport too since it shows slightly different info on it's compatibility chart compared to the s3

yes, yes and yes
everything works as it should. I have S3 and absolutely no problems pairing and using it with 6T
Everything works as expected
I changed my S8 for an 6T and I don't have any problems with my Gear Sport. If you didn't bought a watch yet, I would suggest to go for S3, as Gear Sport doesn't have a mic and a speaker. Not heaving a speaker means that the watch will not ring on i coming calls and messages, it will only vibrate.
thank you both for your input on this! so i was partially hopeful that this would all work w/ the S3 since that compatibility chart shows "limited availability" for non samsung android for messaging and the Sport chart shows "not supported". so maybe its just an outdated chart or we're just getting lucky i guess. Support told me yesterday that w/ a non samsung android and the Gear Sport you'd get a notification that you have a SMS but you wouldnt be able to see who it was from or read it. hoping what you guys reported is the actual norm though! w/ SMS can you read the whole string of text convo or just the new message that arrived? not a big deal but was curious. I like the look of the S3 better but really like the waterproof part of the Sport. i'm not sure the speaker/mic is a big thing for me or not as i'd be fine w/ just vibration (as long as its sufficient)
I'm using Gear sport with OP6T and I don't have any issue.
I have the Gear S3 and everything works fine, but I should mention that I use Textra for SMS, not the crap default messaging app. I can read the full message and reply with quick replies or voice to text.

thats a good thing to note....i remember someone else saying they use textra too. would anyone be willing to test using the default messenger to see if that works as well? no biggie if you dont want to mess with it
and just to make sure i'm on the same page you get gmail notifications and you can read them as well? (thats not as big a deal really as reading an email on a watch might be annoying). the sms and phone is bigger i think
thank you again for everyones help!
No issues with the OP6T & my gear 3 frontier.
Samsung pay, all functions I use work perfectly.
Awesome thank you everyone! And I assume you just needed the gear app to make it work? Is anyone willing to test with the standard Google messenger just to see if that works?

I have the Galaxy Watch (46mm version) and the OP 6t McLaren Edition and both are working well together with no issues. As long as you install Galaxy Wear App and use it to sync to the watch it will all work correctly. Good luck.

perfect thank you! i think i'm going to go with the Gear Sport which is tizen 3.0 vs 4.0 thats on the galaxy watch but sounds like that should work ok too hopefully. I knew i'd need to do the gear app on my OP so no biggie there. I wonder why Samsung has not supported for messenging for the sport for non samsung android. maybe just outdated info
I got my Gear Sport and working great with my 6t! one thing missing is the Messenger app on the watch. I do get notifications for new texts and i can reply but cannot see past messages or the whole thread like it supposedly let you do w/ the messenger app. From what i gathered a lot of others are having the same issue and they used to have it sounds like. I'd bet its because its not a samsung phone so they stripped that feature from non -samsung which is super lame. is everyone else seeing the same thing?

Do you use Android Auto in your vehicle? Sometimes when I receive a call, my Gear s3 will take the call instead of my vehicle. Then in the speaker menu I can only see Bluetooth of my Gear s3, but does not show more that one Bluetooth option. It's frustrating. If I turn my watch off, it goes back to my vehicle. Once in a while it works fine, but I can't rely on it working.
