Yes.

In nova? Yeah that's why I bought it. I heard you could do that so I'm going to try.

Naw, with the stock OS that comes with the phone

That option is available in default setting for home + app screens but is not available selecting the first option of just all apps on home screen. I tried both on set up day and wondered why after selecting that option i.e. carosel did not work after immediately selecting the all apps home screen only option.

I don't see that setting on my AT&T variant. I've been using Nova since day one so it's no problem but I was curious and I don't have this setting on my phone, unless I'm somehow missing it.

I don't have it either, sprint

Weird. The carriers stripped that from the settings?

Do you have an unlocked variant? Yeah, it's so odd that carriers would strip such a benign setting. Like I said, it doesn't bother me since I'm using Nova Launcher and it has this setting but it's still goofy that they would strip it?

Yeah I saw that you returned it. In another forum I think you said that the V20 was lacking some of Samsungs features, and when I read that I thought "oh, just less bloatware" as a joke.. But yeah man, to each his own. I've taken some pretty good shots on my phone that has my iPhone 6plus and 7plus friends envious. But then again, the simple point and shoot on the Galaxy phones, the ease and I guess "dummy proof" photos are great. haha

I briefly thought about the Pixel before the V20 came out, but I'm also on T-Mobile.. and, I don't think it's aesthetically pleasing at all.

The look was a huge turn off for me

 

[sswitzer]

Should I get the free one or for play version?

Paid, and sign up for the beta. Read this thread for help with Nova and the v20: https://forums.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?t=742162

So very true. Out of the launchers I've tried, Go Launcher, Next 3D, Apex, Nova, and Nova Prime, Nova Prime is the one I've settled upon. It's fast and flexible and has everything I need and more. Definitely worth the negligible cost.

The first launcher I ever tried was Nova, back on my first Android (Galaxy S4) back in 2013. I've tried others since then. The only ones I've really liked and lived with were Apex and Nova (which are basically identical as far as function). I actually like some of the animations better with Apex but they don't seem to update it anymore and I switched back to Nova on this phone specifically because some of the badge unread counts weren't working on certain apps with Apex Notifier. Nova is still actively supported so it makes sense to go with that one. Maybe Apex will update with the looming widespread release of Nougat.

I tried Go Launcher and liked certain things but it was lacking some very key features for me. Next 3D was neat but it was wonky on my S7Edge and I honestly didn't have the patience to sit and try to work everything out to get it working how I wanted. Nova is popular for a reason.

Fixed my casting issue partially . Figured put how to use built in miracast screen sharing option in V20 settings in pull down notification window and turn on casting / sharing in Firestick settings. Still no way to use UpNP or DLNA to DVD player via handoff yet though.

 

[Jeremiah Bonds]

Well.. I pre-ordered mine October 17th. It's almost been two months since I coughed the money and I'm not regretting it. Still fast and smooth.

 

[dohlo]

The more i switch back and forth between this and my 7 plus I keep thinking "Jesus the animations on iOS suck"
And its so boring in Stock form.

This thing is stupid fast. Everything about it. Nougat is amazing. Camera in low light is def better than the 7 plus.

It's been weeks since I cracked my camera glass. And I check daily. Nothing. Might just say @$&! It and send it in for repair. Worst case if they want to charge me out the *** to fix the camera lens I'll just be out shipping and the device for a couple weeks I guess and then I'll be back to waiting for a replacement piece

My V20 was activated 10/25... I was about 1 week late on the "pre-orders" I absolutely love my V20

I almost bought the 7 Plus but then looked into it more and people complain about the crappy screen quality of it and I don't like the notification bar as well how it's not organized.

Did you check with those cell phone repair places to see if they have the glass? For something so simple and small like that I can't believe the replacement part isn't available yet. It's so easy to find the Samsung camera glass.

I would NOT send my phone way for something as small as that.

Yeah I've never been much of a fan of the way iOS does notifications, and I don't like not having the badges in the top bar. Eh.
I don't really see anything wrong with the screen, it's warmer than that of the V20 and my eyes see it(V20) as marginally better, but not enough to dismiss it as crappy by any means. I mostly got it because I still had a N7 that was ultimately going to be bricked so I figured I'd try an iPhone again. It's a nice phone, but definitely no fun being locked down as it is.

Haven't called repair places, I've seen a couple people post saying they've called to local places around them and even LG hadn't made the parts available. It's been weeks since I've seen those posts even, so who knows maybe they're making the part available to repair specialists. There a place in town I can call tomorrow. I'm ultimately anticipating them not being able to fix it at this time, but it doesn't hurt to call and ask I guess

The glass on my G5 broke 4 or 5 months after release so the glass was already available. Don't know how soon after release it actually came out. Don't understand why it's not available through LG since they obviously have the glass for new ones.
I would put pressure on LG.

You can find the Galaxy s7 glass all over the place on the internet and it's obviously harder to replace since the back doesn't come off like the LG phones.
