Good Lock’s NotiStar lacks detailed notification access on Samsung devices
Samsung NotiStar is one of the Good Lock modules, which offers notification management services to efficiently handle received notifications. Users of eligible Galaxy devices can manage, search, and categorize notifications as needed to ensure all relevant alerts are readily accessible before deletion.
However, recent user feedback has mentioned a specific part for improvement regarding navigation within NotiStar. Users have expressed disappointment when trying to retrieve missed or accidentally deleted push notifications, as clicking on notifications only launches the associated app without providing access to detailed content.
This limitation is mainly noticeable when notifications lead to specific pages or actions via deep links, where users can only view the notification title.
In response, a community moderator has confirmed that Samsung NotiStar currently does not support direct navigation to detailed notification locations. However, Samsung will enhance NotiStar app functions in future updates.
Previously, Samsung NotiStar brought Flip 5 Cover widget support, displaying bigger images for notification function, and long press notifications to save image feature. The Korean tech giant has already started providing One UI 6.1.1 support to some Good Lock modules and NotiStar will soon receive it.
Samsung has released a new update for the LockStar Good Lock module with version 6.1.00.18. The update is available on the Galaxy Store with a package size of 46.44MB. It brings some useful fixes and improvements.
The fresh update fixes an issue with the clock display and editing features on the Samsung Galaxy Flip 6. Users had reported issues with changing or seeing the clock on their lock screen using LockStar.
Finally, the new update addresses that problem, so Flip 6 owners should now have a smoother experience when customizing their lock screens. It also fixes other common issues like crashing, freezing, etc.
In addition to fixing the clock issue, the update also includes some other improvements to make the app work better overall. However, Samsung has not mentioned these other changes but they make the app more stable and reliable.
Samsung LockStar is a handy tool for Galaxy users who like to personalize their lock screens. The new version makes that process easier and more enjoyable. We recommend users install the latest update to enjoy new and enhanced features.
To get the latest version of LockStar, users can download the update from the Good Lock app or the Galaxy Store >> Menu option >> Updates. Also, you can download the update directly from the third-party app link mentioned here.
Samsung plans to resolve clock overlapping issue in upcoming software updates
Samsung is looking to add a new feature called Predictive Back to its One Hand Operation+ app. The feature makes it easier for users to navigate their phones by giving them a preview of the previous screen before performing the back gesture. This is especially useful for people who often use their phones with one hand.
The Samsung community moderator has noted that there are some technical issues in implementing this function. Due to these issues, it is currently unclear whether the Predictive Back feature will be supported.
Samsung One Hand Operation+ app has some limitations that affect its ability to integrate advanced features like Predictive Back. These limitations are causing performance issues that need to be addressed before the feature can be fully supported.
The Korean tech giant has acknowledged these challenges and is working to find a solution. As users are eager to see the feature, the team is making every effort to resolve the technical issues.
However, the Samsung community moderator has not given any specific timeline about when the predictive back feature will be available. We can just hope that it will soon be available with One Hand Operation+update.
Talking about the Predictive Back, the feature provides a smoother, more intuitive navigation experience while using gesture navigation. It uses built-in animations to inform users where their actions will take them, reducing unexpected outcomes.
Some Galaxy users have reported issues with Samsung Theme Park where the notification background color of the lock screen does not match the color set in their theme. This issue occurs because the preview may not accurately show the actual color that appears on the lock screen.
If you’re also experiencing issues with the background color of notifications on the lock screen of your Samsung phone, there’s no need to worry. The Korean tech giant has shared some temporary solutions with the community to help you resolve this issue.
To temporarily fix this issue, you should check the actual lock screen first instead of relying only on the preview, as the preview may not show the correct color. If the color still appears wrong, you can try the below solutions.
First, uninstall the Theme Park app, then reinstall it. This can often resolve issues related to how themes are applied. After reinstalling the app, create a new theme and apply it to see if the notification background color changes.
Another way to address this issue is to turn off the color palette setting. This might help, as the color palette can sometimes interfere with the theme colors
By following these temporary solutions, you can fix the lock screen background color issue until a permanent solution is available. If these solutions don’t resolve the issue, Samsung suggests reporting the problem for further assistance on the Members app with detailed information.
