Screen on with SMS - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

Now that we have root, is there a way to disable the screen from coming on with a new SMS/MMS? No I am not interested in a different text messaging app, I just want to know if anyone knows how to stop this from happening with the STOCK app.

anyone?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skin1980.sgs6csctweaks last option on the available tweaks. This is confirmed working. I think the app is a dollar, can't see the price although I purchased a while back. Hope this helps.

This will definitely stop the screen from lighting up? I already have a csc editor so what needs changed?

Never mind I can CONFIRM this DOES work! I wish the stock message blocking option worked too, though. Either way, good find!

Does anyone use Gesture Search?

Hey guys,
Does anyone use Gesture Search from Google? I just found out about this app and I'm lovin' it! but I couldn't figure out how to use the 'Double flip' function in the app. From what I saw, the app's suppose to start when you flip the phone, it's a neat function but apparently I can't get to work on my Rachael anyone got any ideas?
Here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gD3ZYKIqj7A
sounds interesting, going try that app right now
I can't get the flip to work either...

doesn't work with yours as well huh? maybe i should report a bug to Google
It also didn't work for me, I was going to post my own thread about it
did not work for me as well, updated and tried as soon as i got the market updates notification
Me neither! Tried on all settings, tried left handed, right handed. But nope, no joy.
I use it all the time to dial numbers..
I cant stand the stock dialer app, and the 5 clicks to get to someone.
gesture only takes a few seconds.
Always worked fine for me.

Yea, that's what i love about this app. I can just swipe two letters
and my friend would pop up on my screen and I can just tap the call button.
Lovin' it! But we're talking about the Double Flip function on the new
update for the app (ver 1.2). Does that work for you?
I just posted a thread on the Google Discussion page, hopefully someone
can fix this. Will keep you guys posted

Active Display on PlayStore!

It seems they moved the Active Display to the PlayStore aswell, this is the way to do it!

They fixed the unlock delay!!!!
Sent from my Moto X using Tapatalk
didnt fix my lag.
This really ruined the unlock from active display. I reverted back to the old one. I never really had any problems with it.
Might as well ask here.
If I get a text message and access it through Active Notifications then the phone goes to the text message app and displays the message. BUT it seems that if the last app I was in WAS the messaging app and it was still open it goes there but just shows me where I was before.
Could be going crazy of course.

New phone, not really familiar with "before"
Ok so I'll ask here so I don't open another thread:
Is there a way to get the battery percentage on the active screen when "breathing" the time? You know, cuz us that are obsessed with our battery life need more notification for it.
Installed !!!
No more active display delay !!! :victory:

Magazine ux problem

Hi, Can't seem to find an answer on this, when I go to setting in magazine ux, say as an example on the news widget, I click the three dots to customize the widget, it just spins and spins, no options to select which news I would like to add. Anyone else have this problem? It happens with all widgets, news, sports etc.
thanks

I haven't experienced that issue. Mine works fine. As crazy at it seems, have you tried "Restarting" your tablet? It's worth a try.

Yup, multiple times. I can scroll threw the news stories straight from the widget, but soon as I click the three dots, a white side window opens, but nothing populates, it just spins. I tried it on a second device at work and it was the same thing.

Works for me
Same problem here. New out of the box, no root. I've tried factory reset, deleting all widgets and re-adding them, restarting flipboard, etc. This drives me nuts!
Ok so the changing language thing works and the options now display; in spanish, or whatever language I select other than english! It works in ever language but english! Why is this and any ideas? thanks

it seems that we're going to have to wait for a fix from samsung, hopefully they are aware of the issue
I've been talking to Flipboard support to see if there is anything they can do. I'll post if I find anything new. So far they have just told me to reset everything, etc.
Frustrating!
I also have the same problem straight out of the box. So I sent it back and this is the third device I have received with the same problem. I contacted Samsung and they said there is nothing they could do need to send it back for repair and it would take two weeks. I'm thinking it's a software issue maybe with flipboard app, I got a flipboard error at some point. Hope to see fixed with patch or update. Don't want to send a brand new tablet back for repair with a two week turnaround.
Also on another note when I called Samsung for an issue with the back just below the camera there was a hump they told me that the tablet I had purchase from Best Buy was not a valid SN and that the tablet had no warranty. After that I mad it a point to verify my SN with Samsung to make sure I was covered by the 1 year warranty.
Also change language to Spanish and it works but not in English

Smart screen

So if anybody else like me is coming from the G2 and 3 you might be missing smart screen.. That little feature that detects your face while looking at the screen to keep the screen awake instead of fading out. I personally felt it a real convenience. I would like to get it back, I pulled the app from my G3 titled wise screen. I installed it like a normal app with success. I used activity launcher to try and launch it, but it fc's. So I'm guessing we'll need root to get it functional. When we do get root is there anyone else interested in joining me on this quest? I would really like to get this one up and running. I can't for the life of me understand why they left it off. I feel like I'm back on ics or jb with out it..
Try kinScreen from the playstore
It works great

I have to agree with you. I am so surprised they took it out. I spent 30 min on the phone trying to find it. I tried the app the other post recommended, not as good, it will never turn the phone off in the car when the phone is mounted and the car is moving.
I, too, was looking for the smartscreen settings. Was surprised that LG decided to remove it. Will try the above mentioned kinscreen later
Anyone know if Samsung removed it from the S6? They started the feature and it was one of the more useful features they added to Touchwiz. I was glad when LG copied it. Most of the other stuff was junk, but that was actually useful.
That sucks. I wonder if they removed smart screen to keep the screen from running down the battery.

What's really weird is that the Smart Screen app is installed on the phone. Go to app manager, and check out the "All" list and there's Smart Screen. There's just no way to activate it.

I don't have the app at all on mine.. 811.
I don't show it listed on my sprint version.

Here it is on the Verizon variant. Wow... this is the first time the Verizon version actually has something the others don't!
It's on the phone but doesn't seem to work. I don't see any place to enable it and creating an activity to open the app causes it to crash.
Never really worked for me on G2/3.
I miss this and have found an app on the play store that mimics it. It worked well for me on the G3.
Verizon has this. I disabled it though. It worked great on my G2 for the time I tested it. For me, I am typically using my phone while in the middle of doing something else. So it is a waste.

Not on mine H810. I am wondering if maybe they built something into the package? As since I have had mine, and if I'm using it or just looking at it the screen doesn't shut off.

On Verizon, you can see the service - it is not an app - BUT there are no Settings I can find or know of that actually allow you to activate it or interact with it in anyway. So it is "there" but seems to do nothing and cannot be setup.
EDIT: I used the hidden Verizon menu and found this "smart screen" but when you click on it, it forecloses and crashes. So, it is as if that first part of the services is there BUT the actual functionality is not as using the hidden Verizon menu I cannot activate it and access settings or turn it on to work - and I would think from that hidden menu, we should.

I don't know if you are on MM yet but I noticed that there is a thing under App's (on MM) in settings where you can set what apps draw over e.g.. facebook chat bubbles. I think if you enable your apps that you want notifying you on lock-screen to draw over mode then it may show on lock-screen. Its working so far for my weather updates from google app... I could be entirely wrong and I am using a fairly wonky build of MM but I just thought I would offer my insight Best of luck bud.

I'm sure MM will fix that for you bud!
I do know the struggle, waiting on OTA's for us in New Zealand is painful. On top of the fact that before I went MM I wasn't getting notifications at all, calls missed cause it wasn't bringing the call screen up...all sorts of havoc.
Worst comes to worst you could try factory restore, then do the theme thing that other guy mentioned. You should technically have a default, it's weird you are missing it.
