lock screen flashlight shortcut toggled by tap - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers

This is too specific for googling,

}
If you go into settings > lock screen > shortcuts
and then place flashlight as one of the shortcuts (which I recommend by the way), and lets say, place camera on the other side..
For some reason, the flashlight is (also) toggled by tap rather then swipe like the other widgets.
(same thing for the Do Not Distrub mode)
This causing a lot of accident toggles from edge palm holding and I find my flashlight on by accident multiple times..
I couldn't find any way to change the way the flashlight is toggled, swipe is perfectly fast enough for me and secure enough to avoid accidental toggles.
Any idea how to solve this?
Thanks!

I had the same issue and after the last update, it went back to swipe.

Thanks! I just installed it and am liking it a lot! One thing that could be better would be more/custom gestures; I really like swiping in from the right, but it can hinder simple touch presses on the right-side of the screen

True, found that out also... It appears the software is still in development so i hope its gets better and better
try this, i use it on my phone all the time. it doesnt work off of a fling, but it lets you adjust several different grids in several locations, i put mine on top left, i RARELY trigger it with a simple tap

Help hiding the VPN icon in Touchwiz

In stock Android previous to 5.0 the VPN icon appears as an annoying persistent key in the top left like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After 5.0 they moved it as a system icon to the right and it can be turned off or adjusted.
It looks like this:
It seems like in Touchwiz they never updated this and the key is still on the left. Even if you're using 5.1.1 (I assume 6.0 will be the same.)
---
2 Questions:
1) Without rooting, is there a way to remove or hide that icon?
2) Is there a way to file a bug or ticket with Samsung to let them know to fix this in the new Touchwiz? Or some other way of contacting them?
1) Long press on the notification and see if you can disable the notifications there.
2) ha Good luck with that.

Just have to live with it then.

Strange touch related issue with homescreen - LG V20

I somewhat recently got an LG V20. (H990DS)
Quite soon I became aware of the following issue:
Several times per day, when turning on the screen, either through fingerprint or pattern, the homescreen doesn't respond to touch.
I've activated "show touches" in the developer menu, and it show that the touches are being registered by the screen, but nothing at all happens.
Horrible stuff caught on camera:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If I first press the home key, then everything works as it should. It's like there's some kind of invisible overlay on the homescreen that intercepts the touches. It's also possible to pull down the status bar while the homescreen is non-responsive. Selecting anything in the notifications resets the homescreen to a working state.
Swiping the notifications up without selecting anything preserves the homescreen in the non-touch-responding state.
Things I've tried:
Factory reset
Rooting/downgrading ROM
Other launchers than stock: Nova, Next Laucher 3D Shell
Checking accessibility settings
Why u do me this horrible thing, Android?
So I'm all out of ideas. I've held off on using this phone as my daily driver because of this horrible nuisance.
I'm hoping that someone here has an idea about what's going on.

Question Flashlight notification on lock screen

So I guess I feel stupid but I've got a flashlight notification on my lock screen. Not sure how it got there and I cannot find how to get rid of it. Someone got a suggestion. Thanks

I've had the same bug and don't get why it's notifying me out of context. To solve it, I disabled the feature altogether. Long click the at a glance widget > Customize > click the gear icon beside "at a glance" > Turn off flashlight.

Thanks. Adding the "at a glance" widget to my home screen and following your instructions produced no flashlight option. I was at my wits end and then I disabled Nova launcher. That produced the "flashlight off" notification on my home screen also. Long pressing that took me to a different at a glance page where the flashlight option showed up.

Question no scrubber for spotify/youtube on oneplus 10t locksreen (android 12)

so pretty happy with my new 10t...only thing is that the Spotify playback doesn't have scrubber option on lock screen even when i swipe down on it...tried all notification settings but to no avail...anyone got any ideas why?
https://imgur.com/NAtffkw
also in the notification drawer, the spotify/youtube playback window is small and not expanding across as can be seen below:
https://imgur.com/a/GdabwA0
is there anyway to get it like this?
https://imgur.com/a/nyPiFkQ
no one?
If I swipe down and expand out the quick settings I get the scrubber. This works both on the lock screen and any other screen. I have not changed any settings related to this, just works as default.
