Just in case you haven't found this yet:
Under the display settings, you can enable weather on the lock screen. I don't ever remember seeing that setting in Touchwiz before. Now I'm wondering if my Skyrocket had it.
Nice i didnt see that. For anyone wanting to tone down the insane haptic feedback you can adjust the vibration intensity under sound settings

The Skyrocket does not have it. Since I use a pin on my GNote I never get to see that unlock screen either but it is cool!

I refuse to use a pin lock for that exact reason. That's one of the things Touchwiz was missing that I really wanted.
The new lock screen on the Note is kind of funky. If you swipe fast, you don't even see an unlock animation. It just unlocks. You'd have to hold your finger on the screen to even see the lock icon.

That is what I used to think till I had a co worker lose her phone. Her life is still screwed up from the punk who found her phone and all the contact info in it.
I use a PIN and SamsungDIVE so can remotely wipe it if I lose it or it gets stolen.

Has anyone been able to make SamsungDive work with the ATT G-Note?
http://www.samsungdive.com
It seems to work on the international version. Samsung Texas support had no clue.
I have registered a Samsung account on line and added the account to my phone as per instructions.
The Remote Controls and Find my Phone functions on the web site are not operational. The instructions for setting up the G-Note have some menu items that are not on my phone.

Is there anyway to dismiss the row of thumbnails once you're inside an album in the gallery app?
I remember those thumbnails used to go away once you tap on a picture on the S3, but now they're there all the time.
Swipe to the left?

single tap does nothing. Double tap zooms in the picture, with the bottom row of index remaining on screen.

I misunderstood your post then.
Initially you see a list of albums, then once you go in the album you see the column on the left. Swiping to the left gets rid of that.
But once you go into a picture, you see the row you're talking about.
On my phone it disappears after 3-4 seconds, or when I do a single tap in the middle of the picture for example.

I see, from your signature, that you have a Note 2, and the behavior that you're describing is the expected one. The row of index should go away once you've tapped on the picture, or it'll go away after a few seconds. I've had many android devices, and all of them do that, except on my S4. So I was wondering if there's any way to resolve it.

I'm using the S4 now and that's the behavior on there.
Maybe try a reset? Data wipe?

I see... may I ask if you have flashed any ROM? I'm on Hyperdrive RLS2, maybe that's the problem.
Hi,I linked the thread that I started asking the same question, on page 1. I am on Hyperdrive and this is happening to me, so maybe it is the problem?
For me though, doesnt really matter anymore as I have bought Camera and Gallery JB+, which are superior (other than losing a few of the Samsung app features). These replace the stock apps and act just as the normal JB apps. No issues like this exist that I can see.
Maybe grab the gallery apk from the stock ROM if you are also running Hyperdrive ROM, but that may or may not fix the issue.
Also, if you use the stock gallery and camera apps, they will be cut off and weird looking if you happen to decrease your DPI in the build.prop like I did (I just went from 480 to 460 and even that causes a column of gallery albums to get cut off). Again, using Gallery JB+ fixed this for me as well.

Can Gallery JB+ sync picasa albums?
I believe so but not 100% sure. I don't see why not, it acts just like stock JB app in every way.

yikes, i'm at a lost then. Clearly I'm not the only person with this problem, and I do know how to use the gallery app, since I have an S3 and a Galaxy Nexus right next to me, and they behaves as one would expect.

Do you have Lightflow or an app that needs accessibility access? Then that might be the culprit. I deselected Lightflow and my gallery app could go full screen without having the top and bottom bars. It's a Tradeoff if we want to use those apps.

Disable Lightflow's accessibility and Gallery app goes back normal.

I remember reading somewhere on these forums that Lightflow activates the Talkback feature. Then that got me thinking when I selected multiple photos and I heard the talkback speak. I thought that Lightflow could be the problem and tried it out and boom. I received my answer.
Does the V10 allow you to put a widget on the second screen? It suddenly occurred to me that if I were able to put a zooper widget there then the second screen would be only limited by my imagination...
As far as I can tell, the answer is no.
I wanted to put a flashlight widget on there, and there is no option to put widget.
There is a flashlight option there when main screen is asleep, but when you have it unlocked, its a different set of options.

Thanks for the feedback. Probably not a deal breaker for me, was just curious.
I am surprised there is a lack of customization for this screen. Coming from the note 4 edge, I was used to limited options but with a least a solid set of choices for configuration. Hopefully this will be expanded for my V10
Those hoping for root/custom roms probably have high hopes for unlimited possibilities in regards to the second screen.
I am not looking for root. But I'd like to see what if anything gets added and or changed when LG rolls out the 6.0 update for our pretty little devices. I haven't even played with mine yet its waiting for me to get home from school today. UPS hid it well I hope.

When the main screen is on there is a flashlight in the notification bar when you pull out down. Put the down arrow key in the home touch button section and you have as many steps to the flashlight as you would if you could put a widget in the second screen.

Yeah I am aware of that selection. I just don't care for the chunky look of it.
But thank you for pointing it out nonetheless.
I'd really like to see the whole notification pull down revamped into something slimmer.
Sent from my LG-H900 using Tapatalk
So because you don't like the look you won't use the feature?
I had the G3 and LG skipped the notification flashlight in the Lollipop update. It was the first thing I checked for on the V10. I guess I'm not really picky about how it looks as long as I have the feature that doesn't require extra apps.

Agreed. The flashlight in the pulldown is very nice, and having a quick access when the screen is off (second screen) is even better. Coming from the G3 as well. Very useful.

Nope, think you misunderstand or read way too much into my comment. I of course will use the ability that is there. I'd prefer it to be available on the 2nd screen, and I don't care for the look or of the notification pulldown.
I'd say that area is the least attractive part of the whole phone. Of course, that is not going to make me not use the phone either.

It is on the second screen. When the main screen is off you slide from right to left and the flashlight widget is there. Doesn't make sense to have it also on the second screen when the main screen is on since it's in the notification pull down.
Sorry for the misinterpration.
Of all the Android skins I like LG's the best. I've had pretty much all manufacturers.
Of course I would love to have Android exactly the way Google designed it but I haven't seen any device that I like with pure Android.
Hi,
I am on latest version of coloros 7. I have tried everything I know but have not been able to get rid of these home screen animations which look like brackets at the border of the bottom edges.
Please help.

I have tried resetting themes to default. Home screen settings to different drawer styles. Changing icon types. Assistive ball off.
Everything literally in home screen and lock screen magazine menu.
The thing is it happens only in full screen mode. With navigation buttons, those brackets dont exist.
Btw, do you have these jn your mobile?

I have absolutely no idea to be honest.
Have a look and see if there are any toggles you can turn on or off.
One at a time. Check. If no...turn back on/off. Check another.
Just a thought.
As I said...I cannot replicate the issue you have and it is clear that you have some settings on your device that I don't, so I'm kind of looking at this blindly

No problem.
I still have the original case and film screen protector that came in the box.
Found the solution
This is pretty much a swipe up to trigger google assistant, it appears when you turn on gesture control and it's a prompt (albeit not a very good one) to make you understand how to trigger it .
Since you can't swipe up from the middle to activate the assistant you need to swipe from the corners , do so 5 or 6 times and eventually the prompt disappears.
