So far the latest updates apps are working ,only edge lighting is not working anyone have a way to add edge lighting to s7
Even updated in galaxy store after install
Anyone able to get edge lighting working s7

I need help with testing for this device and flip style cases.
I had a bunch of requests for Wave Control to have this functionality. Flip Case Control simply turns off the screen with the case is closed and turns it on when it is opened and it is designed to work using as little battery as possible. (I left it running all night ~8.5 hours and the battery dipped 1% more than usual)
IMPORTANT: If your case is black or dark on the inside, the sensor doesn't read correctly when the case is closed. To fix this, put a piece of light colored tape on the inside of the case where it lines up with the sensor (located next to the front camera)
Note: A Samsung based ROM is required. CM doesn't seem to work well.
Demo video:
Thanks! (crossing fingers it works without needing modification)
Edit (10/20/2012)
Taking it out of beta for this device with V1.05
Play Store Links:
24 Hour Trial Version
Full Version

It works as shown in the youtube video on the I9300 BUT the other versions of the SGSIII use a different proximity sensor and I'm worried there's a issue with flip case like there is on the Note.
Could you guys try it out and see if it works like in the youtube video on the I9300? I'm not in the US right now so I don't have easy access to the non I9300 versions.
Note: A Samsung based ROM is required. CM doesn't seem to work well.
Demo video:
Here's the trial version of the app to test out. (The Play Store version is limited to the I9300 for now)
Once it's working correctly, I can post the full version.
Thanks! (crossing fingers it works without needing modification)

Just tried it using my ATT SGS3. It works fine. Only issue I saw was that it takes about 3-5 seconds for the screen to shut off, so if you close then open the cover quickly, the screen is still on.
Thanks,
Dave
I've noticed a fairly large drop in battery since installing. About 7 percent in a little over an hour. This was with out using my phone at all. So while it seems it works ok, it looks like a battery hog and I have uninstalled for now.
Thanks,
Dave

Thanks for letting me know. Maybe I've got a bug in the trial version. I'll test it out today on my phone and see if I get similar results.
After uninstalling can you confirm that your battery performance went back to normal?

Any chance of this working on the note 10.1.?
If you send me the apk I will try it out for you as play store won't allow install.

Unfortunately the Note 10.1 doesn't have a proximity sensor so this app won't work.
At least that's what I've confirmed on the Wifi version. I guess there's a small chance the 3G version may have one. See if you can install Wave Control. I haven't blocked any devices on that app and it requires the prox sensor too.

Wave Control wont let me install from the play store either, so guess thats the end of the road !
Version 1.20:
1. New Swipeable UI - Swipe left for settings, Swipe right for Night Disable
2. New Night Disable Mode - Shut off the sensor at night while you sleep. Saves a tiny bit of battery and keeps you from keeping the sensor on 24/7.
3. Auto Start on Boot works on the Trial Version now.
4. Bug fixes
I'm still not happy with the UI. It's functional for presenting the new functionality but I need to polish it up a bit.
What do you all think?
Any other features/options you would like to see?
Its working fine for me. Just as someone said before,there's some lag for the screen shut off.

Wait and see. ...

unfortunately must agree with you..at least we can found a dev to build cm13 for us...
The 6.0.1 firmware does appear in SamMobile’s Firmware page, but it is not available through FOTA or Smart Switch.
Korean media says the reason for stopping Marshmallow update is because of an error in Instagram app (as stated in here http://post.mk.co.kr/archives/24557 ). Apparently, Instagram is using some system files that Google has restricted, and this is causing crashes when scrolling. Samsung has contacted Instagram about this issue and will resume the update process when everything is solved.
According to Samsung customer service, Instagram in Marshmellow do not working. Because Instagram uses file which google restricted, so scroll problem in Instagram app.
Samsung requested urgently Instagram to revice app. This is the end of samsung reply.

Its really strange because it has been released in UK and I can confirm that because its showing up on my mum's XEU S8 but doesn't show up on my A5. Sideloading the apk just gives me the broken ui and although I can sideload the addons and use them perfectly, I would at least like to install the app officially from the store so I can have the functional UI.
Any help guys? I contacted Samsung Support about this TWICE and they give me the same crap about clearing the cache or going to safe mode to see if its a third party app that is causing the initial problem.
It would be very annoying to find out I am the only one that has this problem.
I have a second-hand A3 2017 fully upgraded to Oreo (it was originally on the O2 firmware but I reflashed it to generic UK BTU), and I can't see Good Lock 2018 in Galaxy Apps either. Maybe someone in Samsung has decided not to make Good Lock available for A-series phones?
It does seem to work for all the use cases I've tried with the sideloaded versions though! Maybe one minor thing doesn't work so they've decided to exclude the A series entirely, that kind of thing wouldn't surprise me.

apkmirror only, not from official sources.

It is now officially available through Galaxy Apps for me
I just received and installed 10.0 from AT&T. So far, so good
Im on SM-G960U att Still no update
OTA
If you still have not got it, manually go to settings, then software update and check for updates. That is how I found mine
Review of 10.0 on ATT
Interesting update. Improved pulldown screen. New settings in Digital Wellbeing to help you be aware of the time spent on the phone with parental controls for the kids. It seems smoother and cleaner interface. More to come.

i agree 100% its just a smoother interaction with the software overall. If you notice the animation when you launch apps, it centers from the app when launching and retracts back into the icon when collapsing. My fiancee also has a S9 that doesnt have the update, and i did some side by side fun comparos last night. 10 is better, its just that goodlock still isnt fixed completely, so im stuck wuth the normal boring bottom buttons...... for now..... LOL!!!!!
Can I flash SM-G960U firmware on my SM-G960W phone in order to get android 10 , will it work?
If I take a standard scrolling screenshot of an app's page in Google Play, it will not scroll all the way down and cuts off. Is there a fix or alternate way of doing a scrolling screenshot that would work in this case. My OnePlus 9 Pro LE2125 is on the latest update of the OOS 12 ROM.
Bump
Get an S22 Ultra. I'm sick of the stupid little bugs on this hunk of junk phone.
Scrolling screenshots not working.
Spilt screen not working when you use Nova.
5G not working in Cyprus.
The battery drain.
I've ordered a Samsung S22Ultra
S22 has its own problems. Root it and you permanently damage the hardware with their stupid blown fuse.
