The Kindle app is cutting off text at the top or bottom depending on where the notification bar is. Do I have to go full screen with this app? Oh, just noticed it doesn't do this in landscape. BTW it doesn't matter which font is selected. Actually, the smaller the font, the more gets cut off.
Thanks,
kev
The only way I have found to keep text from being cut off by the status bar is to go full screen. Depending on the book I'm reading, even in landscape some text will get cut off. The Nook app does not have this problem and seems to be an overall much better experience, but the bulk of my books are from Amazon.
yes, you must go full screen :/ its a known problem (you can find it in the original tablet tweaks thread)

Is it possible to move the notifications to the bottom of the pulldown instead of the top? We have this beautiful 4.3 size screen and pulling down to pretty much the bottom of the screen is a pain at times. I occasionally like to pull the notification bar down halfway just to see what a portion of the message says to decide if I want to read it now or later.
We have ways to change it's color, add/remove graphics to it, change how it looks completely but do have a way to change the display order? Also I'd like to be able to delete messages from the pulldown too if that's even possible. I mean actually delete them from the phone not just clear them from the list. This may be a completely ridiculous request but I hope it is actually possible to do.
While I can see your side of this, I'm going to assume it would be a pretty big pain to incorporate all the features you are requesting.
I'm running stock GB update with no moods, unrooted. It seems as though ADW is having some glitches with my quick contacts. I have 8 of them set up on a homescreen in their smallest form 1x1. Sometimes when I run an app or the phone goes to sleep, when I look at the screen again the contacts icons are slightly enlarged with a grey bar along the bottom with two dark grey thumbnail like buttons. When I press the contact, instead of quick dialing like I have them set for, it brings up the copntact menu for text, email, or call. Anyone having this issue or know what the cause may be? Any help appreciated.

I'm pretty sure this is the wrong section since this is an app, not atrix specific
I need the greatest minds on the forum to figure this out.
With cover closed, clock shows but no notifications.
Additionally, clock randomly moves from normal position to the middle of screen and then sometimes nearer the bottom.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks.

Have you checked the settings under Lock Screen and Always On Display / Notifications. It's not really obvious that there are additional settings available under that if you tap on it. Moving clock presumably is intended to prevent burn in.
Thanks for the reply.
Had the phone for a few days and only noticed the clock moving position since yesterday.
Yeah, checked the 'always on display' and then 'content to show' is home button, clock & information.
Clear view cover is on.
As I said, the clock is showing, just won't display any notifications - which is pretty much the whole point of the thing.
(nevermind, I was wrong about my idea)
On the S6, when I swipe down from the top of the screen, the giant notification window shows up. This is marginally annoying normally since my home page background is 14% neutral gray, but EXTREMELY annoying at night when I'm reading on the tablet and accidentally cause the notifications to display... My bookreader is a dark-mode setup, and the notifications are blinding white when they display (yes, the screen brightness is about 10-12, but compared to the reader it's blinding)...
I've currently got the tablet in Night mode, which makes the giant notification thing black, so it's not as annoying, but it still keeps getting displayed 'cause of hand position and tablet orientation. And Night mode isn't great for "normal" use so I much prefer something that'll actually help with the notification display.
SO....
Is there a way, even if I have to use a different launcher (I'll need to know which one) to CHANGE the background color of the notification thing (and hopefully the navigation bar background)? I tried Nova Launcher, and it has things that SEEM like they should do something, but they don't change the huge white blob that appears when I swipe down.
Is there a way to CHANGE how notifications get displayed - turn OFF the swipe down from the top of the screen and use something else? If so, how do I set this up? "Do Not Disturb" mode doesn't seem to help.
Is there a way to COMPLETELY turn OFF notifications so swiping does nothing. I can't FIND anything in settings, but I figure I'm missing the "turn off notifications" switch.
I'm also interested in what answers may come. For me it's just about the color; even though I'm dark-themed everywhere using "Swift Installer - Themes & color engine", it doesn't theme the notification panel. Since the theme works everywhere else (even on system apps), this makes me think that 'notifications' is a special case, for some reason.
Curious to hear from others.
Have you tried QuickStar inside of GoodLock app from the Samsung Store? there are lots of mods you can do in there like change the color of the notification pull down.
Thanks. That works pretty well. I can change all the colors on the notification so at least the notification is a black background.
Status bar at the bottom is still bright but that's smaller than the big notification thing. Definitely makes me miss the old Android 6 thing where it just put a couple tiny icons at the top and I had to specifically hit them to see notifications. Never accidentally opened the notifications.
Is there any way to CHANGE the activation for the notifications so they DON'T show up when I don't want them to?
Hi, I'm a bit late to the V60 party and am curious if others have the same two issues I'm having with the lock screen. The first is that my notification pop ups are tiny - like unreadable tiny. This is on the main display (not the front of the dual case). On my V30+ I could read the subject and first few lines of emails as they came in, and read texts & WhatsApp messages no problem. They occupied a third to a half of the screen. Now I get something that's 1/8" (~3mm). I have everything in 'brief notifications' turned on, 'show content' checked, and 'hide sensitive notification content' unchecked. What's the difference between bubble vs non-bubble? Sounds like some Apple i- to me.
My other question is can only put two app shortcuts on my lock screen? IIRC I could put many on my V30+'s screen. Two is limiting. Is it time to install Nova launcher? The fact that I can't add a home screen to the left of the main one bothered me, at least until I grouped the snot out of my app shortcuts
