Don't let the title scare you. All this tip does is make one handed operation easy.
First: settings/one handed operation
{
"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"
}
Second: enable the first setting
Third: the activate the mode from any screen, using one motion, swipe from the right edge in and back out again.
This will make the entire usable screen space easy for one handed operation, including on screen buttons and volume keys. I call this iPhone mode because you can make it extremely small. Also you can move it around the screen and adjust the size to your liking. The last mode you had it on will save the next time you use it. Great for lefties.
I take no credit for this tip. I was browsing YouTube when I came across a tech channel and saw it there. I had never heard of this so I figured I would share it with the community.
More pics.
Also.... you cannot use the s-pen while in this mode. Apps such as the camera will revert the phone back to full screen. Enjoy.

also works from the left side of the screen for lefties
So much screen real estate lost with this though!

is that a serious question?
I use it to change brightness and enable/disable bluetooth when getting into my car.
oops double post.
You do know all of that is available in the drop down tray. Including brightness. Just slide your finger across the tray left and right

not if it's on auto
plus, why not use it.
Maybe the OP doesn't feel like sliding down the notification bar.
To turn on BT I can
1) Hit the button on the power widget on my home screen
or
2) slide down notificiation, hit the BT icon, which opens up the BT settings, click enable BT... then hit back to return to my homescreen.
^ apologies, it just doesn't seem "simple clean" to me.....
"simple clean" is referring to the wallpaper... not the widgets/apps setup
eww, toooo many "samsung" on this phone already. =P
I kind of like it.
+1 to frankencat.
I love the samsung aspect to this phone.

hi
i searched for this issue and the closest thing i found was this
here which happens at the lock screen only
1. its software
since it shows in screen capture it has to be software
i got a bad pc display but if i zoom in i can see the lines fairly well
it only happens at the lock screen

Isn't it just your lockscreen background which is faulty?
I see no line on your added picture. Then this would be a hardware defect. Which I actually doubt though

You need to view the screen cap on a different device/computer. If you view it on the affected screen, of course it will appear in screen capture.
Viewed your attached file on my desktop and I see no lines. It might be your phone's screen!

I don't know if anyone has heard of this keyboard yet but it's pretty awesome! Sort of like swpye but you can make it super minimal. I found it via drippler, so consider it a double app post of you're looking for new apps for your phone.

Used it a lot and I was impressed with it but Google keyboard is my main preference
If you ever try it out again, I found some tricks!
1. Holding the top row still brings up the numbers and punctuation. You can also get to them by swiping left from the empty space next to m. To get back to letters swipe right.
2. Double spacing by swiping brings up punctuation and you can swipe down over the keyboard to maneuver to which one you want to use.
3. Swiping up from the empty space next to the m will do enter, next line, or search ( whichever is applicable).
4. If you repeat the above but instead hold your finger on the screen for a second longer it will bring up google voice so you can talk instead.
5. By swiping right from the empty space next to z will bring up emojies.
I think the tutorial covers just about the rest. It's all about mastering it.

This is probs better. I came across it while looking for a way to do a single backspace without the spacebar visible but there doesn't seem to be one. I still like the keyboard without the spacebar because there's less chance of accidental mess ups due to the weird placement of the function keys.

I have a rooted S9+. This device is comportable, but rounded screen border is bothering me.
Is there a way to disable it?
I searched but could only find apps that add rounded corners. What is it that you dont like about the rounded corners?
Well, It's not that big problem.
When I watching some videos, reading some texts, or viewing some pics, that rounded border hide some very tiny parts of it.
Not a big problem, but bothering.
Try the edge touch extension in the new samsung Goodlock 2018 app, it's what you are looking for https://www.the***********.com/download-samsung-good-lock-2018-app-apk/#6-Edge-Touch
Err... I think I make a mistake on word choice.. I mean corner. Not border.
for example the screen looks 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"
}
but when I take a screenshot there's no corner on it.
I am sorry to have confused you
Since it's a physical boarder the only thing I could see doing is add a boarder around the video to make it smaller and fit within the screen. I don't know if you could do that rooted though.

Oh... I didn't know about that it's a physical border. Cause past edge models' border is not physical. I heard that LG G6 and G7 have a physical border not samsung. Anyways Thanks alot!
I'm new to the LG G8X and I'm struggling to fully commit to it by moving my SIM over from my Note9. This LG phone has great features but it is lacking in the software department. I believe alot of you may agree.
With that being said, I have two questions:
1. What is the best way to get suggestions to LG about software recommendations and suggestions?
2. Why is dual keyboard in portrate mode not a thing? I would love a scenerio where I'm using the left screen (in portrate mode) then I need to type something, so the keyboard pops up on the opposite screen (or I'm given the option to move it) and I can type on handed with no intrusive keyboard appearing on the left screen.
I must say, I am not a fan of the way landscape dual keyboard mode works. When typing in browsers, large bars appear at the bottom and top the screen that is being typed on. That makes it impossible for me to see a complete picture of the info on the webpage.
Any tips, info, or suggestions would be appreciated.
There is an app called "G8X Wide Mode" in the play store that lets you force dual screens in any app.
You can use it to space out the keyboard in portrait, but it only works well with the LG keyboard, the Gboard for example has some of the middle keys split across both screens.
But as far as using it the way you are describing, there is no functionality that lets you use the keyboard on one screen and the content on the other while in portrait.

Thank you for responding. I am familiar with G8X wide mode. Using that app is the closest I have gotten to producing my idea using the Gboard floating keyboard.
