Please don't laugh... - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As my nickname suggest, I am blind. I have never seen a smartphone, as I went blind before they became so sophisticated. Also, I could never afford one until recently. I have one burning issue that is driving me crazy. How the devil do I add bookmarks to Chrome in Android 6.0.1 marshmallow? If you need the phone... It is a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge.
Thank you and may God bless.
do not mess with a dragon,
for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup

Menu button, then press the little star

Thank you. When I do that, my screen reader does not tell me a star. Can you tell me where that store is located on the screen? Appreciate it if you do.

Just thought I'd share a few classic rock wallpapers I made

Hey guys.
Just thought I'd share a few classic rock wallpapers I made. Nothing special at all, but they look pretty good on the phone, and they are optimized for desktops with a large widget such as Sense(like) clock.

mmmmmm.... very nice!
Thanks HG!
Any chance you would do one for Phish? All black with the small colored logo? probably not your style, but I would be very grateful.
Sure man.
I am a bit of a Dead Head, but have never really listened to Phish. I'll have to check 'em out.
Let me see what I can whoop up.

What color did you want the background to be? Do you want it a gradient that fades to white?
Thanks Sean. BTW, Floyd is my all-time favorite group.
D'OH!!! I just read your original post. Working on it now.
Love the zepplin one might a get a it from you?

Yeah man! You should be able to just save it from my original post. Just right click and save. If that doesn't work out, let me know and I'll e-mail it to ya.
Just saw you were in Asheville. I'm in Raleigh. Asheville is the best city, ever.
Phish is amazing. I've seen them 54 times, and that is not nearly enough.
All black, pitch black background, with a small colorful phish logo. I'll try and find one:
http://drygoods.phish.com/Product.aspx?cp=773_6268&pc=PHAS06
it would be awesome multicolored, but red would be cool too.
Awesome man!
Ok...Here's a first attempt. Don't be shy to tell me if you don't like it. I'll keep at it if we need to.
Yeah, Asheville ROCKS man. Especially if you like good a music scene.
Guys, I would also use a wallpaper applying app like Wallpaper Set and Save, so that the image will not be stretched or compressed.
Wallpaper Set and Save
These wallpapers look better on the phone, than they do in a browser preview.
Holy $hit, that's EXACTLY what I had in my mind.
Only thing I could say current, which is beyond you, it's the piv, it's not the highest quality, and the upper left corner looks lifted up. Again, that's just because the poor images online.
Can't believe how spot on you were with what I was looking for, nice work man.I'm rocking it now.

Hey mbrando, update the first post- that way we don't have to look all over the thread for the wallpapers. Makes it easier for everyone [also for people that like your work to follow you too!]
Just a suggestion.
Haha...Right on. Let's keep searching for a better logo and I'll hook it up. When you say the corner is lifted up, do you mean by the bubbles? I think that's the 2nd row of bubbles? Not sure tho.
I attached the logo I used. Let me know. I am hard headed enough to keep at it 'til it's what you wanted.
Glad you like!
Thanks HG. Will do. I'm still a nit of a n00b. I welcome the wisdom.

dam gs3 u call that a phone

well with all the billions that Samsung have and they can't fix the phone lag what a shame.
THIS IS A DAM PHONE. SO AT LEAST GET THE PHONE right without lag in opening it. COME ON YOU MAKE US FEEL SHAMEFUL in front of apple
when i press on the phone the phone should pop up instantly not have to wait for it to open, what a shame, and I thought jelly bean would be something, its just the same old android crap
That's not the phone but the amount of **** you have on it! Sort it would it then maybe it wouldn't lag so much....
anyone interested in blu-ray steelbooks, holla at your boy
Judged on previous just a major whinger .

are you for real or just a Samsung fan boy wearing Samsung skirts.
I only have few apps on it it and it feels laggy, and the worst lag is while opening the phone to make calls. Don't be a fan boy and instead lets have Samsung know about that crap so they can improve things

Your about the only person *****ing about it so instead of coming on here and cluttering up the general section with your nonsense, read a few threads and figure it out....no1 is here to hold your hand or wipe your ass!
anyone interested in blu-ray steelbooks, holla at your boy
In my case it would take a second or two to open phone or contacts the first time right after restart. Then they'd open pretty much instantly.
If you get offended easily, skip to point 2. You have been warned
1. Maybe give us some information about your phone, so we can help you...now the majority of people who see this thread will think: "dafuq did i just read" combined with "cool/bannable story bro" and some "what a whiner" on top
2. Trying some different kernels/ROMs from the one you are using at the moment might help, maybe a full r***rd underclock kernel is not a good choice.
3. What is laggy for you might be fine for others, e.g. I can live with a 0.4 second delay after pressing the unlock button

Pokedex Theme

Ok, I just think it would be cool if someone was able to make a Pokedex UI theme. I'm not a huge fan or anything, I just know that thousands of people would instantly get this app if they thought they could turn their phones into Pokedex's.
JUST SAYIN!

Lol! I have plenty of friends who have kids and they OBSESS over Pokemon with them. Haha. Still love Pokemon myself and going on 26... It's fine to love something fun and childish, that's what keeps one alive! Lol.
I'm SO for this idea, by the way.
Interesting idea... I'm a new user of themer, but maybe I can produce this one... before that I'll study lil bit about themer

That makes sense, Pokemon still rules though! Haha. You seem pretty cool!
Really great idea, it would be nice to see a pokedex theme.
should be pretty easy to make too,perhaps using the slideshow feature to move the pokemon through the pokedex.Well in fifities here and me and the son had some great pokemon battles,still into Mr Potter and Co and definately lord of the rings series.

Those are crazy awesome! We'll speak to the guys in charge. We are very aware now of copyright infringement, so we're trying to find ways of including themes like this - without breaking any laws...

Actually found a way to display the dex rotating which was pretty bloody easy really,well at least on my galaxy S4.Simply use the built in frames widget if your firmware supports it and it will rotate them,the drawback is that you can only display each pic for seven seconds before it rotates to the next,anyway just a though in case anyone fancies trying it

I would love to see this!!! Is there anyway I can help make it possible?

There are several guides from rooting and removing to stock bixby has a option to long press or double tap. And single press does nothing. If you use the wonderful search bar at the top it will direct you to the actual s8 threads where your answer is

S9+ Camera Brightness Keeps Resetting While Taking Video

Hello, All! I take a lot of low-light video of my musician kid performing in small clubs. The problem I'm having is that the brightness is always at max when I start recording. So, I move the slider down and it's great... until I touch the screen again. Then it returns to max brightness, so I have to keep adjusting it throughout my video clip which is visible in the final product. I often need to touch the screen while taping to snap a still photo or zoom in or out. This issue is maddening and is making me consider buying a different phone which is too bad because I still really love my S9+ otherwise.
Is there maybe a setting somewhere I'm not aware of? Anyone else have this problem? Thanks, everyone!

this is a recurring issue throughout all of the last 5 or 6 Samsung phones. The only way of getting around it is to use a non-standard app. I dont video live shows nearly as much as you do, in all likelihood, but i was at Armin Van Buuren on 2.1.20 and i had the same issue. Same issue with Slayer a few weeks prior to that, concert prior to that was outdoors and during the late fall with plenty of light, so that wasnt an issue then.
Try out some different camera apps in test conditions so you wont be let down at the next event.
The cameras on the S9 and S9+ are very good, but i will tell you that some friends of mine at the aforementioned Slayer gig had far worse seats than me and had FAR better pictures and videos with his S10. The difference was striking.
