quick question. I haven't been able to find the answer to this, is their an option or a mod to completely disable and remove the second screen?
a way that would allow that portion to just be a part of the actual screen. Thanks in advance!
You can disable it, entirely, within the settings menu. Unless there is a root/xposed solution, you cannot use it to extend the primary display area.

I don't see the 2nd Screen as being a part of the same digital screen as the main screen, so although you can disable the 2nd Screen, I doubt it could ever be a part of the main screen.
Screens are separate. Different resolutions ect. Plus the front cameras takeout 1\4 of the space so stuff would look funny.
It's one giant screen, there isn't v really a "2nd screen."

As mentioned in the TWRP thread, when you boot TWRP you see that it is more like one big screen ?

Am I the only one who wants on screen buttons over the hardware ones? If I knew how to do it I would, but it seems like it should be a simple tweak, has anyone done this yet?

Maybe an app can do the task. As far as using the AOSP flavor of buttons? Won't happen. Sense framework won't allow it, pretty much. Same reason why we can't use the crt animation.

I like the hardware buttons...on screen is cool but take to much space on your screen.

Seems redundant and ununnecessary when you have hardware buttons already.

the 5" screen is huge, and can sometimes make using it with one hand a little hard. The on screen keys disappear when they need to, like looking at pictures or watching videos, other than that, its just like using a 4.7" screen or something around that. When using the phone with one hand it can be a little difficult to stretch your thumb all the way down to the hardware buttons without having to readjust how your are hold the phone in your hand, they are badly placed on the bottom like that.

Either you have small hands or are holding your phone weird. I have average size hands and I can reach the hw buttons and the whole screen except like a quarter of an inch at the top left without readjusting my hand.

nope, regular hands, its just the phone is so tall that its sometimes a pain with how they placed the buttons at the absolute bottom of the phone.
Hi. I have the top part of my screen stuck. In fact, in the top part of watsapp(header with name) is stuck on the screen and appears beneath every other application opened that has a light background. I even formatted the phone, re installed android but its still there. How do I fix that?

No. As I said it only appears on a pale background but not on darker colours. Any pale coloured app that opens on top of it, that area can be seen underneath the opened app. An app with a dark colour will cover the area and it is not visible. It's as if that part of the screen is frozen.
maybe hardware issue show in service centre
It sounds to me like it's that infamous oled burn-in case.If you leave a static image on screen for a long time,say,2/3 hours,it'll burn in and stay there as a faint ghost image and you can do nothing about it.Only screen replacement.
Just my 2 cents...

I think you best described what happened. And what exactly should me replaced, the digitizer? Is it worth replacing and about how much will it cost?

LCD+ digitizer.
If you have a warranty - go for it,otherwise it'll cost you alot.
For me it cost 120$.

If I put an image staying for hours it can burn into my screen?
That sounds really weird..
Just looked it on the internet, now I'm afraid turning on my phone XD

I have a samsung wave with amoled, I think that one is a bit better (better dpi), but also better brightness & colors. I love amoled, it makes colors more alive.
Is there any way to get the notification to light up when the phone is face up? And if not how hard would that be to implement in an app? That notification light is real slick imo its just such a shame I never place my phone upside down like that.

I certainly wont be putting my screen onto the desk to get potentially scratched. Its a shame there isn't an option to allow it to glow when face up.

Shouldn't it be possible as a third party app? It doesn't seem like too difficult of a task but then again my programming experience is limited
there are 2 apps in the store i found. Hope one of them works for you

Unfortunately these all require the phone's entire screen to be on. I don't think, with stock firmware and kernal, that we would be able to have Samsung's feature work as it should with the phone facing up. It would be nice tho, since we could have it only use the edge of the screen and save power.
Why on earth did Samsung decide on face down.

Try using a grey/dark wallpaper for the lockscreen.

You don't see it the components of the finger print sensor the small and large square between number 5 and 8. They are only visible in direct sunlight on light/white wallpapers
Did you expect a component that is able to read your fingerprint, located under glass, to be completely invisible in every possible situation? ?

Actually OP has a pretty valid point, and you are being just annoying. Nobody expects to see stuff from under the screen no matter what on any device. Only the display contents are supposed to be visible.

The above being said.. I don't think I can see this under my screen. I have never noticed this (but have not looked for it either). Either outside under sunlight or inside; on bright and/or white background apps. Mine is BOE screen, not LG, if that makes any difference.
