Wallpaper Changes on Wakeup and Scroll Capture - Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers

I just got my a50 and noticed that it would change wallpapers every time the phone woke, is there a way to do this with a custom album?
Second question, is there a way to "scroll captures" so on a webpage you can extend screen shots. I know this has been a function on a few Samsung phones I've had but can't see how to do it on this phone.
Thanks for any help

In January update there should be Smart capture available, search settings for it and enable.

Or maybe it still isn't available in all regions.

Must be. Thanks for the help

Have a look in Settings, Advanced Features to see if Smart Capture is there.
If not then as madd0g says it hasn't been enabled in your region.

I keep checking Android Police and Droid Life for info, but nothing yet. I see the card description in the settings menu has changed from show/hide, to watch face dependent.
Just got it and the watch is forced to reboot, kind of interesting.

Didn't force reboot mine did you update your watch yet though. I am wondering if it just forces peoples watches to update.
Sent from my SM-G900V using XDA Premium HD app
I updated to the newest firmware on the watch yesterday. When I downloaded the Wear update today I noticed the watch reboot and figured it had crashed. Then I saw the note in the Wear app.
Installed it thanks for link.
But anyone can tell me what is the new change is " This update adds a 'Card preview' setting which can be set to "None" or "Watch face sets card preview."
I test it but do not see difference.

ok I figure what it is. And it is the setting I really need after recent OTA. After OTA on change is you can keep the notice card by swap down. It is nice but the problem is if you not aware income notice at first place after screen off the notice will automatically hide. Next time when you turn on screen you will not find any new notice unless you swap up. Or you will get old notice when new is coming.
It make me missing lot of notice. So if you setting as NONE, it will behavior like this, but setting another item, you get old way how notice show.
It is perfect now we can have choice for what we like.
Yep it rebooted mine too, and I was on the newest firmware. Wonder what its upto?
The watchface dependant preview is in preparation for the 2.0 update. The watchface API will allow developers to make a few settings, including how to display the preview cards (size, opacitiy, whether or not at all, etc)

There's no need for a tool, the watch face developers can set these in their watch faces. So Facer for example will either have a global setting or a per-face setting for these things.
Dedicated watch face apks will just set these based on what they want or also allow customization via some sort of interface I guess.
What is the new wear card that looks like a green wifi symbol? There is no text. The only option is open on phone, but does nothing. My phone wifi is turned off. Thanks!

I believe it indicates whether your watch and your phone are linked or not.

"Take Wearable Screenshot" option missing

I seem to recall 5.0.1 and the newest Android Wear app together were supposed to have the option for taking a screen shot but i don't see it. I updated to 5.0.1 last night and I'm on Android Wear app version 1.0.5.1630507.

check that. that's for general lollipop release.
the api was included. it wasn't included as part of the overall OS:
Screen capturing and sharing
Android 5.0 lets you add screen capturing and screen sharing capabilities to your app with the new android.media.projection APIs. This functionality is useful, for example, if you want to enable screen sharing in a video conferencing app.
The new createVirtualDisplay() method allows your app to capture the contents of the main screen (the default display) into a Surface object, which your app can then send across the network. The API only allows capturing non-secure screen content, and not system audio. To begin screen capturing, your app must first request the user’s permission by launching a screen capture dialog using an Intent obtained through the createScreenCaptureIntent() method.
For an example of how to use the new APIs, see the MediaProjectionDemo class in the sample project.

Nope, it works fine with 4.4.4. You just need to enable debugging and the option will appear in Android Wear when you click the little gear in the upper right.

I 'enabled' developer options on the watch (by tapping a few times on the build number), and did the same to the phone. That's all. Then went back into the Android Wear app on the phone and in the menu 'Take wearable screenshot' appeared.
thanks
Ok thanks we need to enable both developer options! Phone and watch! Thanks

Ok i reset my moto 360 and i dont have the developer option on the watch anymore but i could still take screenshots using the android wear! So you only need to enable the developer options on your phone!
Where are the Screenshots?
I have Developer Options enabled on my phone and watch. Clicked on "Take wearable screenshot" on my Moto. Saw a message that screenshot request was sent.
Where does the screenshot show up? I don't see it in my screenshots folder on my Galaxy S5 phone.

Click on the screenshot notification and it should ask what app you want to share it to. Its a bit clunky.

Samsung statement about missing Smart Capture on A50: https://www.samsung.com/in/support/mobile-devices/galaxy-a50-frequently-asked-questions/
Well this is just annoying! seemed like a pretty nice feature. looks like we get the middle device and lose out on a feature available for a cheaper phone
Funny cos last year's A series and J series had this feature. Samsung need to pay more attention to mid rangers
I just came from a S8+ that went bust and used the scrolling screenshot a lot. Very annoyed - actually upset - to find out only after purchasing the A50 that it doesn't support Smart Capture. I had asked the sales person who said it was certainly a setting to be activated. Had I known, I'd gone for the A70 ?...
Any chance that this might be part of a future update? Has that happened to other Samsung phone models?
Of course, the Galaxy A50 supports "Smart Capture" and works smoothly, including editing, trimming and sharing. You may not be able to enable this feature. Maybe this helps you:

this firmware is same OXM/ITV and not have smartcapture.apk inside system app, not possible if works
i decompile product.img csc feature is same ITV and XEZ
There is no smartcapture on latest august patch firmware
I've managed to install the smart capture apk by installing it as a system app. The smart capture option now appears in settings, however it crashes if you try and use it as in the apk they have coded in a way to stop us using it. The error for the crash of smart capture reads "Feature not supported".

Technically it is,
I wont be spoon feeding everything to you on exactly what to do use google
But look in developer options, display settings else
use adb to pull your build.prop look for the tablet description/ feature set, edit on pc and set it to the one used for phones
then sideload it back to phone
reboot and enjoy
(no one knows hoe the fold will handle it YOU MIGHT BRICK YOUR DEVICE OR GET BOOTLOOP)

Have you tried going to the display settings, then screen layout, then selecting standard view. Split view makes your phone act as a tablet.

Question Oxygen 12.2.9.9

Yeah, the gmail notification bug was fixed.
What wasn't fixed though is the low framerate in certain apps (Google Photos, Samsung Internet, YouTube, Maps, Onenote...) and the weird scrolling acceleration.

Gmail notification problem has nothing to do with notification, you can check that by going to settings/account/ your google account a'd sync, you'll see that gmail will not sync, so if 8t does not sync, how is it supposed ti get notification
