    Let's see your home screens!

    It's Weather & Clock Widget Plus. Been using it for quite a few years and it just keeps following me from phone to phone. Great app!

    Let's see your home screens!

    I love seeing how others setup their home and lock screens. Here's mine. As a school bus driver who needs to see basic info at a glance, I keep it simple. I also just upgraded from my old S10 to this new S24+ and am still learning all the new features. Using Nova with some random Zedge...

    One UI 2.1 Update-Have you received?

    Galaxy S10 on Verizon Just downloaded the update an hour ago. It's been ready on my phone since yesterday, but I like to research updates before I allow them to infiltrate my life.

    Access notification bar on any screen

    OMG!! That worked! I just tested it.. tried it in Gmail app, Gardenscapes, Firefox, Messaging.. it works no matter what app is active! Just like it's supposed to! Thank you svm!

    Access notification bar on any screen

    A major PITA, for sure. But that is in the back of my mind as a last ditch effort if I cannot procure another answer to this, seemingly simple, predicament.

    Access notification bar on any screen

    But if I set up the fingerprint scanner, won't I be forced to use a lock screen password or scan a finger? I prefer to simply slide to unlock.. I need to access my phone while at work and simply cannot scan a finger or enter a password to unlock every time. If it will let me use the scanner...

    Access notification bar on any screen

    I will search for info on how to get into (and back out of) safe mode. Having never done that before on a cell phone, I am Leary since I'm unfamiliar with the process of returning to normal. But thanks for the suggestion.. I'll give it a go.

    Access notification bar on any screen

    I do have a screen protector on, but I doubt it is causing the problem as I am able to swipe down to access the notification bar on the home screen. I just tried wiping the cache and the problem persists after reboot. I did switch back to TouchWiz launcher and yet.. the problem still persists...

    Access notification bar on any screen

    Yes I changed the launcher. Nova was one of the apps transferred over. I've been using it since I walked out of Best Buy on Friday. Nova was my active launcher when I was able to swipe down for the notification bar while in my Gmail app. But now I can't do that anymore. Is there a setting in...

    Access notification bar on any screen

    Hey everyone! My Droid Turbo finally bit the bullet last Friday so I drove 2 hours to the nearest Best Buy and scored myself a new S8 on their $350 off promotion. Now I have this awesome phone and, through my time spent personalizing and getting acquainted with this non Motorola phone, I have...

    Cannot disable Driving Mode

    My Turbo automatically turns on driving mode anytime I am in a vehicle and traveling/moving faster than a brisk walk. It has nothing to do with Bluetooth as this occurs in my work truck that I have no BT connection to. I want this turned off. It is beyond annoying and extremely distracting. I...

    Adding Birthdays to Contacts

    My Droid Turbo: I can add/edit a birthday on a contact selecting only the month and day. **This is our preferred method** My husband's Droid Turbo: For some reason, he is forced to enter a year and that messes with the Birthdays Calendar on his google account. Birthdays entered on his contacts...

    No more gmail notifications/refreshes?!

    You are experiencing the same issue that I was. You have performed all troubleshooting steps that I did and have ended up with the same results.. nothing worked. I feel you on the topic of not wanting to reset the phone. Trust me I didn't want to! But I had exhausted every other possible method...

    MIME offers Tempered Glass

    Yes I did and it installed mostly perfect. There are a couple spots where it just doesn't want to adhere along the edge, no matter how much I try to persuade it otherwise. It is also a tad on the short side, meaning it could certainly cover more of the upper part of the screen (as my one...
