The galaxy S20 range, which a month ago incorporated the S20 FE into its range in Spain, is one of the most outstanding phone families this year on Android. For this generation, Samsung has opted for a perforation on its screen, located in the central part.
When using any of these Galaxy S20s, this drilling is not a nuisance, but users may want to hide it when using certain apps, such as Netflix or YouTube, for example. Samsung One UI provides a way to hide such drilling when using specific applications.
Hides the piercing of the Samsung Galaxy S20
As you know, One UI is a layer of customization that gives us many options. One of the functions that we have available for these Galaxy S20 is hiding the drilling. It's a feature built into Full-Screen Apps, which makes that piercing hidden when we open those apps, such as when you open Netflix or YouTube. So we're not going to have problems with it and play that content without drilling on the screen. The steps to do this are:
- Open the Settings.
- Go to the Screen section.
- Go to Full-Screen Apps.
- Tap the three vertical dots.
- Go to Advanced Settings.
- Turn on the Hide Camera Aperture option.
By hiding the phone's front camera, the perforation we have on the screen will be hidden. This can be convenient when using certain apps, or there may be users who aren't comfortable with the drilling on the Galaxy S20 screen. It's not a piercing that bothers, but so everyone will be able to customize the phone's appearance a little more.
Instead of drilling, a black stripe is displayed at the top of the phone screen. For some users, viewing some of the apps may be more convenient this way.
The refresh rate changes
The Galaxy S20 range comes with displays with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. Although not all applications support that rate, and when we do nothing, it is changed to 60 Hz. Suppose your phone's temperature rises too much, something that happens if you've been playing for a long time or taking photos changes to 60 Hz. For many, it is a very annoying problem, as it is understandable. What can be done?
- Keep your phone up to date: Samsung has released an update for devices that corrects that error, allowing that refresh rate to not change like this.
- Manually change: If you haven't updated or it didn't work well, you always have the option to adjust it manually within the screen section in your phone's settings. So you can put it back at 120 Hz.
Problem with push notifications
Using battery-saving mode or reducing certain processes or apps in the background has consequences for how many work, causing problems with app notifications. This is something that many users with one of the Galaxy S20 have noticed, which you see as push notifications from messaging or mail apps that arrive very late. This is a problem for many users.
- Set up battery optimization: There may be apps for which these notifications are throttled or blocked, preventing them from working well. So, if you go to Settings > Apps > Battery Optimization > Apps and look there for those apps with which there are problems and remove them from that list, they issue notifications normally again.
- Pin the app: You can pin the app to work in the background. Open the recent apps menu and then tap the keep icon open to run fast, so the app is pinned and you won't have any problems with notifications.
- Check notifications: You may not have noticed you've removed notifications from that app on your phone. Check in the Notifications section if you have deleted them or have limited any notification of this application and give them again in case it does.
