How To: Hide the Navigation & Status Bars on Your Galaxy S8 for Even More Screen Real Estate No Root Needed

How To: Hide the Navigation & Status Bars on Your Galaxy S8 for Even More Screen Real Estate No Root Needed
The Samsung Galaxy S8's almost bezel-less display is truly a sight to behold, especially when set to Immersive Mode. While transparent when on the home screen, the navigation and status bars on the S8 will often turn opaque depending on what app you're using at the moment. This, in turn, can detract from the overall experience when viewing anything from the S8's display, as the bars along the top and bottom of the screen bump the phone's aspect ratio down to lower levels.As it turns out, it's actually possible to permanently set your Galaxy S8 into Immersive Mode using a method that has worked on other phones in the past. While no root is required to perform this modification, you will have to run an ADB command. So here's a guide on how to get the most out of your S8's gorgeous display — just be sure to take your time and follow the steps exactly as they appear, especially if this is your first time with ADB and Fastboot.Don't Miss: Know Your Android Tools: What is ADB & How Do You Use It?
RequirementsDeveloper options and USB debugging enabled Windows, Mac, or Linux computer ADB and Fastboot installed USB data cable

Step 1: Allow USB Computer ConnectionTo get started, connect your Galaxy S8 to your computer using a USB data cable. A "USB Computer Connection" notification will automatically appear once you plug in the phone, so tap "Allow" on the prompt to grant access.

Step 2: Run ADBRunning an ADB command is necessary to modify the S8's display and keep it on Immersive Mode at all times. So next, you'll need to open a Command Prompt or Terminal window in the platform-tools folder inside of your ADB installation directory.If you downloaded the SDK Tools from Google and did a default installation, go to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk folder. Otherwise, go to the folder where you installed ADB, then open the platform-tools folder located inside. From there, hold the shift button on your keyboard, then right-click within the window and choose "Open command window here."Don't Miss: Google Just Made It Easier to Flash Images & Sideload Updates on Your Android DeviceFor Mac and Linux, just open a Terminal window, and change directories to the platform-tools folder. Perform a search on your hard drive for "platform-tools" if you don't know where it is, as the folder's exact location can vary depending on where you extracted ADB and Fastboot when the utilities were installed. Opening an ADB command window on Windows. If you need a more thorough guide on the topic, head over to our full ADB and Fastboot guide to get to know this essential modding process a bit better.

Step 3: Input CommandsWith the S8 connected and ADB up and running, you'll just need to type in a single command. However, there are three different commands that you can pick from, depending on if you want to hide the status bar, navigation bar, or both.To hide only the status bar at the top of your screen, enter this command:adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=* If you'd just like to hide the navigation bar while leaving the status bar visible, enter this command:adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=* Finally, if you'd like to hide both the status and navigation bars, use this command:adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*

Step 4: Enjoy Full-Time Immersive ModeImmediately after sending one of the above commands, your status and/or navigation bars will disappear. At this point, it would be a good idea to restart your phone so that any apps that were previously open can redraw themselves to accommodate the extra screen real estate. (1) Status bar hidden. (2) Navigation bar hidden. (3) Both bars hidden. From now on, you'll still be able to access the navigation and status bars on your S8 by swiping in from either the top or bottom of the display, depending on which one you wish to access. The keyboard will still pop out as it normally does whenever you tap on a box that requires text input, and the home button's haptic feedback still remains active, but you'll need to reveal the navigation buttons to access Google Assistant.

Reverting This ModFinally, if you ever want to bring your S8 back to its stock configuration and re-enable the status and navigation bars, simply type in the following command to bring the display back to its original settings:adb shell settings put global policy_control null* So how are you enjoying the extra bit of screen real estate you reclaimed by performing this mod?

News: A Return to Glory? HTC Releases the U12+ with 4 Cameras, Edge-to-Edge Display & Edge Sense 2

News: A Return to Glory? HTC Releases the U12+ with 4 Cameras, Edge-to-Edge Display & Edge Sense 2
2017 was a down year for HTC. First, the U11 and U Ultra were widely criticized. Later, Google purchased a large chunk of HTC's manufacturing division, leaving the Taiwanese company running with a skeleton crew after losing 2,000 key employees. But that's not stopping HTC — their flagship U12+ was just announced, and it's quite impressive.On the bright side, HTC received a massive influx of money from the Google deal — about $1.1 billion, to be precise. With this extra capital and the relative success of late 2017's U11+, the U12 Plus could start turning the tide for the once highly regarded smartphone company. The HTC U12+ is a competitive phone that gets many things right. While there is one glaring omission, it does check all boxes for a flagship device in 2018, and even brings a few new things to the table.Don't Miss: Why Google's HTC Purchase Is Nothing Like the Motorola Deal
SpecsOS Version: Android 8.0 Oreo Skin: HTC Sense Dimensions: 6.17" x 2.9" Thickness: 0.34" Weight: 6.63 oz CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 clocked at 2.8 GHz GPU: Adreno 630 RAM:6 GB Storage: 64 or 128 GB (expandable via microSD) Display: 6" Super LCD 6 Resolution: 2880 x 1440 (537 PPI) Rear Camera: 12 MP wide-angle camera and 16 MP telephoto Front Camera: 8 MP + 8 MP Battery: 3,500 mAh Water and Dust Resistance: IP68 Bluetooth: 5.0 Other: HTC Face Unlock, Edge Sense 2

6" 2880 X 1440 18:9 Super LCD 6Like many of its predecessors, HTC will use Super LCD technology in the U12+ — specifically, it will borrow the same Super LCD 6 panel used in last year's HTC U11+.Super LCD panels, which are produced by S-LCD Corporation, differ from LCD by removing the air gap between the outer glass and the display element, which results in less glare. It also contributes to lower power consumption and improves outdoor visibility. HTC has been using the technology on their phones since the Nexus One, so its use was expected. Image by The Verge/YouTube The screen will be protected with Corning Gorilla Glass, although HTC didn't specify what version. Hopefully, after JerryRigEverything conducts his teardown of the device, we will learn this information. Our guess is it will use Gorilla Glass 5, as that is the most common version used by flagship phones in 2018. The display will support HDR 10 (but not the other HDR standard, Dolby Vision) with DCI-P3 and sRGB color spaces.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC & 6 GB of RAMAs with every other non-Huawei Android device, at the heart of HTC U12+ is the latest and greatest from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 845 with the Adreno 630. HTC will take full advantage of the octa-core chipset which can reach speeds up to 2.8 GHz.While the SoC comes as no surprise, the amount of RAM is a head-turner. The HTC U12+ will come with 6 GB on all SKUs. With this much RAM, it's on par with the Samsung Galaxy S9+ and OnePlus 6, two devices that are known to be great multitasking performers. Gaming performance should improve, as games are notorious for using quite a bit of RAM. However, for those of us who don't normally play games on our phones, the combination of the Snapdragon 845 and 6 GB should lead to a truly smooth experience across the board.

Edge Sense 2HTC will bring back an innovation they introduced last year with the HTC U11, Edge Sense. Updated for the new flagship, Edge Sense 2 will help separate itself from the competition with new tools unique to the device, which improve phone navigation. With Google adding Edge Sense 1.0 to the Pixel 2 lineup, we might be seeing the first new changes coming with the upcoming Pixel 3. Edge Sense 2 introduces a new way to interact with the pressure-sensitive sides. The gesture can be fully customized to your liking. You can double tap the sides to bring up apps and sensors. Just as you would perform the gesture on your display, by double tapping the side, you can activate one-handed mode. However, what makes this special is that the device knows which hand you are using and will adjust which side the one-handed mode switches to.Short squeezes and long squeezes are still present and remain as customizable as they were in Edge Sense 1. What will take some time to get used to is the new buttons which aren't really buttons. Similar to the iPhone 7 's 3D Touch home button, HTC has added the same pressure-sensitivity technology used in Edge Sense to replace all the buttons. Instead of depressing, you receive haptic feedback when you've applied enough pressure to activate the "button" functionality. It is different and could assist with operating your phone in the dark.

4 CamerasFor the rear cameras, there is a 12 MP main shooter and a 16 MP telephoto lens. The main shooter will be a wide-angle camera with HTC's UltraPixel 4 tech. UltraPixel sensors use enlarged pixels which capture over 300% more light than traditional pixels. The larger pixels improve low-light photography as more light is obtained, as well as improve overall picture quality by recording more information each time you take a photo. The main lens will have a f/1.75 aperture. The second lens provides 2x optical zoom, with digital zoom up to 10x. Its aperture is f/2.6.There is also UltraSpeed Autofocus 2, which uses phase detection and laser autofocus to get things in focus quickly. Portrait Mode is supported on the rear cameras as well. There is even AR sticker support for those looking to add a little flair to their photos. Pro mode with manual controls is also present with support for RAW format. Image by The Verge/YouTube As for the front cameras, the HTC U12+ will be in rare company as one of the few four-camera smartphones on the market. Dual 8 MP cameras are on board, each offering 84° field of view and f/2.0 aperture. With the dual lenses, Portrait Mode can easily be accomplished on the front cameras as well. AR stickers are supported on the front cameras as well, along with HDR Boost and live make-up. The screen will also act as a flash for a selfies in low lighting.Additionally, the front cameras will support Face Unlock. Face Unlock will be implemented similarly to the OnePlus 5, which relies on the selfie cameras to authenticate. While this isn't secure, it is fast and useful when you can't use your fingers to unlock your device (like when it is freezing outside and you have gloves on). Image by HTC/YouTube As for videos, up to 4k is supported at 60 fps. High-quality audio recording (24 KHz and 24 bit) is available, along with support for 360° 3D Audio (using the four microphones). Like many 2018 Android flagships, the U12+ will also support slow-motion video at 1080p at 240 fps. OIS is available for video recording. You can even take 8 MP photos while recording 4K video if you desire.
AudioOnce again, HTC has included its BoomSound technology in its flagship. Known as BoomSound Hi-Fi edition, HTC uses the bottom firing speaker and the ear speaker to provide high-quality audio that is better than stereo speakers firing from the bottom. Bass is handled by the bottom firing speaker while the ear speaker acts as a tweeter. Using this arrangement, HTC provides more full and rich sound.Like many OEMs, HTC has removed the headphone jack from their devices following the trend started by Apple's iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. The U12+ is no different and will not include the popular I/O port. However, thanks to Android 8.0 Oreo, Hi-Fi audio is possible via Bluetooth headphones, as the U12+ supports some Hi-Fi codecs such as aptX HD and LDAC.
Additional SpecsAs previously mentioned, the HTC U12+ will include a sizable 3,500 mAh battery. While not the largest capacity we have seen, this is definitely at the upper echelon of battery capacity, with many flagships opting for much less. Paired with this large capacity is Quick Charge 3.0, allowing for 50% charge in 35 minutes. It will also support Quick Charge 4.0 when paired with a compatible charger. As for wireless charging, HTC once again will forgo the technology despite its glass back.VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling are both supported. 802.11ac is supported, along with MU-MIMO for fast data connections when on a Wi-Fi network. You can use HTC Connect to wirelessly stream media from your phone to compatible external devices such as TVs, speakers, and audio systems. More popular standards are also supported such as Chromecast, DLNA, and Miracast. There is also support for DisplayPort over the USB Type-C port.Devices come in 64 GB or 128 GB storage variants, both of which support microSD expansion (up to 2 TB). Both options will include 6 GB of RAM.The Liquid Glass Surface design is also making a return. The design, introduced with the U Ultra, reflects light in a way that colors will change depending on the angle you view it from.

Price & AvailabilityThe U12+ is available right now from HTC's website. Use the link below to grab the 64 GB carrier variant (AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon) or the unlocked version, which comes with either 64 GB or 128 GB of storage. Only Sprint customers will not be able to use this device.Purchase the HTC U12+ from HTC Additionally, you can purchase the phone from Amazon. Apparently, this version will work on both GSM networks (AT&T and T-Mobile) and Verizon as well. This variant will not be sold through carriers.Purchase the HTC U12+ 64 GB from Amazon Purchase the HTC U12+ 128 GB from Amazon Pricing starts at $799 for the 64 GB version. For the 128 GB variant, the price increases to $849. For US customers, there will be two colors available — Translucent Blue and Ceramic Black. Translucent Blue is the most interesting out of the two as it is semi-transparent, revealing some of the internals of the device. There is also a red color, but it won't be available in the US. Image by HTC/YouTube With the HTC U12+, fans can be hopeful that HTC is on the rebound. How well it sells will largely depend on increasing customer awareness, but with the spec sheet this thing sports, we can be sure the phone will better compete against the likes of Samsung and LG.

How To: Remove Pictures from the Main Feed in Google Photos Without Deleting Them

How To: Remove Pictures from the Main Feed in Google Photos Without Deleting Them
Google Photos just got a killer new feature that everyone should know about. Instead of one endless stream of every picture you've ever uploaded, there's now an "Archive" section where you can stash select shots.What this means is you can now remove pictures from your primary feed and put them in into a separate area for safe keeping. Then, when you're showing your main gallery to friends or family, these archived pics will be hidden away — though you'll still be able to view them whenever you want.It's a great way to deal with duplicate photos, private pics, or the type of shots that are worth keeping even if they aren't awesome enough to show off. And once you've used the new feature, your main photo feed will be a lot tidier. Best of all, it's available for both iOS and Android, so if you like what you're reading so far, we'll give you a quick tour of the new feature below.Don't Miss: Rooters Beware, Google Will Soon Start Locking You Out of Apps

Declutter Your Main Feed by Archiving PhotosTo get started, make sure you're running the latest version of the Google Photos app for Android or iOS. From there, head to the side navigation menu in Google Photos by tapping the three-line hamburger icon to the left of the search bar, then select "Archive" to tour the new section. Next, tap the icon in the upper-right corner of the screen. You can now choose which photos you want to hide from your main feed, so tap on the images to select them, then hit the "Done" button when you're finished. At this point, photos you selected will no longer appear in the main feed when you open the Google Photos app, but you can still find them later by heading to the Archive menu again. If your archived photos were previously part of an album, they will still remain in the album. On top of that, you can also find archived pictures through Google Photos' search feature. So for those who have pictures of the less innocent variety, archiving them won't keep them completely safe from prying eyes, but it'll at least remove unwanted items from your main Google Photos feed.Has this new feature brought some long overdue organization to your Google Photos feed?

News: Axon 7 Oreo Beta Now Open to US Users Here's How to Get It

In January, ZTE announced they would be conducting an Oreo beta program for Axon 7 users to test Android 8.0 before the masses. Since then, no additional information was released — until today, when ZTE finally opened up the Oreo beta to US customers.Using the link below, US Axon 7 owners can register for the beta program. If ZTE accepts your registration, you will receive the new Oreo build for Axon 7 as a regular OTA update, and all the subsequent beta updates would come the same way as they progress to the stable version (which is rumored to be released in April).Sign up for the ZTE Axon 7 Oreo beta program (US users only) Image by Marques Brownlee/YouTube ZTE will release the beta to a small group first, targeting individuals who can best assist them in the getting the update to a stable state as soon as possible. Specifically, they are looking for Axon 7 users who are on the B35 build. However, if you are not able to make the first round, ZTE has stated they will open registration up to more users as the beta becomes more stable.With the Oreo beta, Axon 7 owners will get their first glimpse at the new skin implemented by ZTE. Listening to the requests of their customers, ZTE ditch MiFavor UI for what is being referred to as Stock+. While little information is available, its names implies that the skin will be a move toward a more stock Android experience. Image by Marques Brownlee/YouTube In addition, the Android Oreo beta will provide Axon 7 customers a first glimpse of some the new features introduced with the Android 8.0 update Google pushed out last year. We have some extensive coverage highlighting these features which you can check out using the link below.Don't Miss: 27 Cool New Features & Changes in Android 8.0 OreoWhether merely convenient or by design, this news comes on the heels of some bad press for ZTE. After AT&T and Verizon were instructed by the US government to not sell Huawei's new flagship device, top officials elaborated on the reasons. The CIA, FBI, and NSA have come out suggesting American citizens shouldn't purchase smartphones created by Huawei and ZTE because of concerns over security. Particularly, these officials believe that both companies are influenced by foreign governments which could use the devices to threaten US interests.This isn't the first time ZTE has had a run-in with the US government. The company was hit last year with, at the time, the largest criminal fine in a case involving US sanctions, being forced to pay up to $1.2 billion. This was the result of the US learning that ZTE shipped products to Iran over the course of six years without proper licensing. It was only after this fine that ZTE was relieved of export restrictions between itself and the US. So while we don't wish to discourage you from joining the Oreo beta program, we do want to keep you informed.ZTE addressed the recommendation made by officials with the following statement:As a publicly traded company, we are committed to adhering to all applicable laws and regulations of the United States, work with carriers to pass strict testing protocols, and adhere to the highest business standards
— ZTE/XinhuaNetThe US government's recommendations aside, ZTE has done a great job with the Axon 7. The phone, which debuted back in 2016, is now one of only a handful of devices to get Android Oreo, and it's also one of the oldest. With the Axon 9 coming this year, ZTE fans need only to hold onto their devices for a few months before upgrading. Are you still using your Axon 7? Are you excited about Android Oreo?
