There are certain features that are very important to me like being able to ready message on lock screen .. I'm very dissapointed that this phone does not have that option
I feel like we took a few steps back from previous phone software

I said the same thing. People argued with me and said the G2 didn't have that ability, but it certainly did. In the message/notification settings.
I really want that,option, as well as call reject, a native flashlight app, LG browser and task app(Verizon sucks), the ability to sync my Facebook calendar with LGs. There a ton of little things I'm missing

There's an app called Floatify that will show your messages on your lock screen. I haven't tried it out, but it appears to be getting some good reviews.

To read messages on the lock screen just get Dashclock widget and Dashnotifier extension. (may not even need the dashnotifier, can't remember for sure but I have both) and put the widget on your lockscreen in place of the clock,
See that's the awesome thing about Android is if you don't like something about your phone or want a certain feature.... Then change it! Between Apps and Xposed modules you can make a really nice stock ROM with pretty much anything you could ask for. Once we get the bootloader unlocked and start getting custom ROMs, forget about it, this thing is going to be a BEAST!

Xposed has the xblast module that has lockscreen notifications and lockscreen flash in it but it crashes sometimes so I use floatify and I love it. For flash light I use the g3 tweaksbox by assigning one of the volume buttons in "miscellaneous tweaks" when the screen is off.

<<<<< IGNORE THIS POST!! AGAIN IGNORE THIS POST !!!! ITS NOT ACCURATE >>>>>
Seems SE has some sort of dual screen lock. if the screen turns off running the app im talking about here and locks it works fine but at some point not sure but guessing 5-10min if the phone is left longer then that then the default slider lock is back as active and you still have to use it to get up 1 step for screen tools to get active again. so again ignore this post since its inaccurate!
Ok ive been looking around here and on lots of other forums and sites trying to find a app or a way to not being forced to use SE default slide lock. And ive tried all the suggestions ive found like No Lock app and pattern changes on the phone ect.
But nothing realy did the job all the way, and if you´ve every used your phone outside when its cold you know why i wanna get rid of that crap, and pressing a real button almost allways works compaired to touchscreen buttons (not to mention its still a pain indoors too)
but ive finaly found a app that works if you set it up the way i have (but thats all personal ofc you can set it any other way but these steps need to be marked).
App: Screen Tools 1 just search app market and you´ll find it and its free.
the way ive set it up works like this: you press the Home button twice, 1 press opens screen and you can just check if you missed a text or a call ect but the screen is still locked, press a second time and its open ready to be used.
Pic 1 is from the topp and pic 2 is just the last missing bit at the bottom pic 1 missed

I did and naa didnt do it for me. i dont like toys that can run every app in the house or control the subway, dont you know less is more? i just wanted a small app that would do just that 1 thing im after to be able to use a physical button and since you still have to hit home button to activate
screen 1 more push to unlock is just right
im running xhawkings optimized stock ROM and thats just perfect in my mind perfomance without all the 30 billion options in settings and apps that ppl nowdays seem to love. if i didnt need some apps to keep my days and life in order id still be using my old text only Nokia no cam no MMS nada was just perfect. but yeah i hear ppl like that one too. but naa no point running a app that has loads of options when i just need 1.
PS: i forgot that GOTO still runs a slider just what i DONT want and is still on touchscreen so how can it be better?
Hello,
I have the ATT Galaxy Note and would like to use it as my pager via text messaging, which I did with my prior iPhone. I would like to have the text messages appear on the lock screen (or unlocked screen if that is the only thing possible) until I view them so I don't have to unlock the phone and drill down into the apps when I am paged at 2am and half asleep. Is this possible?
Thank you.
You can use SMS pro and enable quick reply on it.

The exact app for your need is called Iphone Notifications from the market. When my wife moved from the iphone to the Skyrocket, that's the only app that saved the day. There is a free version but the paid version would display the actual message on the lockscreen. It works with Widgetlocker also.
SMS pop up is included with saurom and it has exactly what you need, whenever you get a text a window pops up and asks if you want to reply or close the window etc

Hi.
Nicolas from Productigeeky, creator of iPhone Notifications.
You may want to try our last app LockerPro Lockscreen, it does pretty much what you are looking for.
There is a free lite version.

Coming from my OG Evo and Deck's ROM, I'm really missing the drop-down settings toggles on this phone. It's funny, too: I swore I'd never go back to Sense after I finally got rid of it for AOSP back in the Vaelpak days, but things are so smooth and flawless with the LTE that I actually have no desire to switch to anything else at the moment (I've only had the phone for a week, though).
Except for the toggles! I'm constantly finding myself flipping down the notification menu looking for a sound profile switcher or a 5-way brightness control or a WiFi toggle or even quick access to airplane mode. I know there are widgets available to partially cover this, but those aren't accessible from within other apps.
End communication.

Dont worry this will all come in due time. I think viper rom has some toggles already.
Well now it's just one more step... You just gotta press settings. I'm sure in due time a developer will create a rom with these settings.

Yeah, I know how to access the settings, but it's mostly the in-app access I liked.

Well GPS is technically two steps now. Click settings then location. Wish they left that with wifi, bluetooth, etc.
Not to worried about it. I'm sure it will be on a ton of ROMs.
ViperROM 1.2 has many of them. Can't wait for Zeus mods myself

Interesting. I might check it out, though I'm nervous about the review mentioning the high CPU usage.

I have a EE edge and it has no option for alphabetical apps that I can find, it is not in the usual place in the top right does anyone one know an app that can replace this or a way other than changing launcher that this can be achieved please?
Also the alarm clock is terrible as I can't seem to change how many time it allows me to snooze or for how long it will snooze for. My old note 4 would allow 10 snoozes and I could change the interval. Am I being blind or has this been removed? If its removed can someone recommend a decent alternative?
Overall love the phone just irritated by these two stupid omissions which have been standard on every android phone I have had for the last few years
Same here, awesome phone but the app draw thing is mental. Hopefully Samsung fix it. Years back the first versions of touch wiz were also lacking this option, then there was an app which did it for you. I can't remember what it was called, and I've searched and can't find anything. Anyone? I don't want to swap launcher before anyone suggests doing that.

Nope, just the edit button which only let's you rearrange them manually. This is driving both me and my wife mental lol.

Samsung took their Apple emulation a bit too far now. No way to alphabetize app drawer and if you go in applications you will find settings for stock apps just like with the iPhone. It's like they care more about people jumping ship from the iPhone than they do about loyal customers.
I also can't find a way to hide files in the gallery so if you have a lot of music installed it automatically puts the album art in which is very cluttered. All of these issues are not present on the note 4 running lollipop so would be very interested to hear Samsung's reasons for these annoyances.
Although individually they are all small added together the are really starting to annoy me and may make me consider my purchase which is a shame as the hardware feels amazing and the music is superb. I just hope it is a case of time to sort these things out.
I second the snooze problem and the alphabetical sort issue as well...
i had a software update...but that didn't help in sorting this issue....

Hi everyone,
I've just moved from my trusty LG G6 to a new SAmsung S9 Plus UK version (Exynos 9810) and so far I'm pretty happy, love the screen, the responsiveness and it's a lovely looking phone although slippery as a fish without a case, managed to find a good case/screen protector combo but took a while. Have gone for the Whitestone Doma which is an awesome screen protector but was really frustrated to get bubbles in the glue which shouldn't happen..
Anyway Its only really day 3 or 4 and I realise things may change in time but have some observations and wondered if anyone here could help please.
1) Standby drain, seems like many people have this so have downloaded Package Disabler Pro for Samsung and I am experimenting but its not anywhere near as good as my G6 at the moment. Guess this is trial and error but have already disabled much of the Samsung stuff, I'm a little apprehensive when it comes to system packages though as you never know if its going to mess things up completely.
2) On both the AOD and in the android shutter if I get 2 notifications from an app, they both show separately, I have a Xiaomi camera and if I get more than one alert of movement all notifications are separate and I wanted to know how to nest them so it only showed me once that I had notification for that app.. (hope that makes sense) cant find any way to do this. This isn't the problem of double notifications as I've seen but I hope you get what I mean.
3) LG has a built in service called Smart Settings which basically says things like if you go out of your current location turn Wi-fi off , when you get back into your location turn wifi on, if you start this app, turn on bluetooth, if you plug in headphones start this app.. etc..
It appears theres nothing like that on Samsung so could anyone recommend a 3rd part app that may help me achieve this as I miss it.
4) Does anyone know if S9 Plus will get 8.1? or will it go straight to P..
5) Forgot to add, I have a different photo viewer installed, I use F-Stop but for some reason in the camera app when you take a picture and press the gallery button it always defaults to the Samsung gallery app. Does anyone know how this can be changed please?
Thanks for listening guys, any help appreciated.

1. Give it a couple of weeks for the system to settle. Just use it as it is without disabling any apps.
2. I don't know if you can do that system wide. I know some apps have that option.
3. Try LLama
4. No idea
5. Open settings and search for "default"
There you should be able to set default apps
I've provided a screenshot so you can see how it looks like
Hope it helps
