s7 Edge Missing "Cast" button in Quick settings - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

hello,
Good day!
I would like to ask if anybody here is also experiencing missin cast button/setting in S7 Edge? The only option I have to use my Google Chromecast is by connecting using the app "Google Home".
I would like to use the Cast button in quick settings so that I can view the whole screen of my s7 edge and not just by App

Edge panel missing?

Hi,
I just bought the edge, and could not find how to active the edge panel. According to the manual, go to settings->edge screen->edge panel and tap on/off to enable the feature. But I simply found no "edge panel" option. The first option is "edge feed"...
What did I do wrong?
Thanks in advance for your answer?
samsung messed up something with the side panels... some are missing feeds some are missing the panels....

Just found the solution: I accidentally chose "easy mode" at the store. Now I switch to "standard mode", the edge panel appears.

Go to settings / easy mode, then select standard mode button for edge panel features.

S7 edge unlocks from Edge screen

Hi,
Ive had my S7 edge for around 2 weeks now, love it but theres one issue...
Even though I have fingerprint unlocking activated Ive found that when its locked and I swipe the edge screen to see notifications, click on an item e.g. gear fit, the app starts up then if I press the back button im in the phone, no fingerprint required....
Anyone come across this? found a fix??
Search in "S Finder" for "Smart Lock". Maybe your location is marked as safe. Thus no need for fingerprint authentication?
Just checked and mine does the same thing. Not good. I swiped the edge screen, opened calculator and hit the back button and my phone was unlocked without ever touching the fingerprint sensor.

Disable all 'Edge Feeds' till this get fixed. Settings > Edge Screen > Edge Feeds.
maybe that only happens on fingerprint scanner only?
mine is on pattern unlock plus the fingerprint scanner and it still asks me either one when i do the steps above.
mine does not allow me in. no matter which edge app i try to use, it always asks me for password or fingerprint.
Mine doesn't do that but will open the camera app with a double tap, but locks again trying to look a the photo I just took.

How to disable "my places" notifications

Hi, I use "my places" edge panel, but everytime I disable wifi or bluetooth I get a notification remainder. I swap it out, but after sometimes it shows up again. I tried to change notification settings, but this specific app doesn't give the chance to disable it. How can I solve this annoying thing?
Sended from my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Gold Platinum
Settings->notifications->advanced (top right corner)->More (top right corner)->show system apps....look for "my places" and disable all.

[Q] menu button and nearby devices

hi there,
1. i notice that since my S5 which had LP installed, on S7e i cant use the menu button for menu actions cause it is always forces the recent app screen, when i use xda app on my S7e i cant seem to reply or add a new message because isted of showing me the menu of the thread if i press menu button it goes to recent or if i try to press a little longer it give me a notice that xda app does not support multy window.
no matter what i try i cant seem to use the button as menu. and i cant seem to find in settings how to turn it off or at least turn of multy window which will probably will help to use menu button as menu.
/ found a solution for that problem....its called multy window toggle for samsung from play store. stops the annoying multy window.
for the google now that keeps popping on home button just need to uninstall google app and force it to factory app and it wont pop by pressing home button.
2. also on my older S5 with LP i had the option to share media with my ADB streamer via nearby devices in the settings menu. once i open the nearby devices i had few option on which file to share and to which device. but now in the S7e i have the nearby devices but i cant seem to share media with my streamer no more, plus i dont see any option to share media except the on off button and small explanation text about the nearby thing.
for this issue i still didnt find any solution.
both S5 and S7e are stock, my S5 is rooted tho.
can anyone enlighten me about this. maybe i just missed something about both issues ?
thanks for helpers

Go to settings and tap on magnifying glass and search for edge screen
Found it but still dosent work at all. Under galaxy apps for example the app says (open) but i cant pressed open since the word is bluured like something is disabled. I dont find app under system apps either. Cant install it or reinstall it.
Here is screenshot of unable too uninstall open or reinstall edge screen. I enable it under settings but it dosent appear on screen. Also shorcut long press dosent take me too the setting. No response. Here is screenshot of bllurred open" button
SOLVED: i figured it out. It was Bk disabler. I did enable app back on but it didnt helped. It turns out i forgot that i disable also all the servises from Edge screen (wich also contain edge lightning). Thoes servises are under sub-menu in bk disabler. After i enable thoes back on, everything works like charm now.
