Been using my GS3 for about a week now, and have come across a few bugs and just wondering if anyone has any solutions to them. I have searched and haven't found the answers I'm looking for.
1. Swipe keyboard not recognizing words
Some words don't show up on my swipe keyboard, no matter how perfect I swipe them. However, if I type out the word and then select it in the predictive words list it will then show up if I swipe it.
2. Faded colors on lock screen
I know that it is caused by the ripple effect, but does everyone have this problem? Maybe I just didn't notice it before, but it only seems like it started yesterday. Not sure if there is a way to get it to work or not.
3. App order in list
This one isn't really a bug, just a pet peeve. Is there any way to make the apps list in alphabetical order?
EDIT:
4. Texts not sending
Every once in a while, every text I try to send comes back with a failure. It will eventually work, but after at least one resend. Not an issue with service, because I have bars. Also not an issue with receiving a text/phone call at the same time. Anyone else experience this?
I think I have more, just can't think of them right now, but thanks!

Woo! One down! Don't know how I missed that, thanks!
#1 - Try a diffferent swipe keyboard, I prefer touchpal, it's free/ad-less and is a very good learner
#2 - Not sure what you mean by faded colors? I haven't been on Touchwiz in a while but I'm guessing that the lockscreen puts a 'haze/fade' over everything as an effect kind of like AOSP does.
#4 - There's another thread of someone complaining about this also, I personally haven't run into it on this phone.
#1 are you using the actual swype keyboard or he Samsung keyboard with swype knock off? If its the swype try adjusting the speed vs accuracy setting. Also try to curve around the letters you don't want picked up If its the Samsung... switch to swype.

Also not sure what you mean with number two, but just change the wallpaper if the ripple effect is causing problems ice just turn off the ripple effect.

Is there an app or widget that let's you use the spend (or finger for that matter) to scribble on the desktop wallpaper?
That would be the ultimate post it note. Or an invisible Snote widget would do it, too. Kind of disappointed the Snote widget is just a mini library.
Whiteboard Pro.

Don't buy white board pro, I would like to do the same as the op but white board pro doesn't even have a widget, that was really poor advice especially as it is not a free app.
I am using sticky notes , which has a neat postit style widget, you can't draw on the widget directly but you can use the spen and the widget displays the hand written note exactly as you write it in the main app.
Give it a try, there's a free version

"... white board pro doesn't even have a widget, that was really poor advice especially as it is not a free app." - Really? Poor advice? OP asked for an app to write on desktop, I mentioned an app (with widgets) that does the job. What's poor is your reply without knowing what you are talking about. Have you really looked at it? The whole point of that app is the widgets. Whiteboard has multiple widgets, for every size and taste. You can write directly on desktop, it's one of the options. Try the free version if you don't want to pay for it.
This is from the description of free version:
"Write and draw notes on your home screen. Fully customizable home screen widget.
Looking to simply add a few notes to your home screen? Add Whiteboard! The ultimate home screen note taking application!".
I'm not related to the developer, have bought the pro version long time ago, have been used on phones and tablets very often.

It's not an app. Add a widget to your desktop, click on it. There are many options. You can type text or draw anywhere on the screen. You can chose to write directly on desktop.
Well based on your post I bought the app as I want the same functionality as the op, as far as I can see there are no widgets, I spent a good while looking for them too.
Perhaps there is some confusion with versions or similar sounding apps or somthing

This is first time I'm trying to add an image. I added a widget to screen, clicked on it, in settings under "Other" selected "Edit on home screen". You write on desktop, while within the widget.

Just a small question, but are you talking about "Widget Notes - Whiteboard" or about "Whiteboard Pro" ?

In my post above I have a link to free version in market. It has 3 widget sizes (paid version has many more). if you're using Nova or any other launcher, widget size is not important, you can re-size easily.
I don't know where the confusion is coming from. I had purchased this many months ago, hadn't installed on my Note. Only today I installed, went to "add widget", added one to screen, wrote on desktop and then saved it as a note on desktop. See my screen shots in a post above.

Now I see how confusing it can be. When I bought the app, it was called "Whiteboard Pro". Now it's called "Widget Notes - Whiteboard Pro". I had put the right link in my post. Sorry for confusion.

Sorry for the confusion. If you bought something else and it's not working for you, hopefully it's not too late to return. My version of whiteboard has a free version, try that.

I followed the directions - each time I've tried it - when I click on the widget it takes me to an app screen not the desktop, to enter info in a very small area. After entering info it takes me to the desktop, but I still cannot write or add text to the desktop widget screen. This not a true desktop you can scribble on.

You can see from my screenshots I was writing on desktop, on Note 10.1, using the s-pen. When I finish, it shows it in a small widget on the desktop (with white background in my example). if I click on that widget again, it takes me back to desktop where I can edit the note.
I don't get the "enter info in a very small area" part. Even when not writing on desktop, widget fills out the whole screen, I can write easily. Sorry, I don't know how to help.

You could try this:
1. add the smallest size widget, 1x1, to your desktop.
2. click on it, by default it opens white screen to type or to write. Go to \Settings\Other, select "Edit on home screen", save. It closes the widget.
3. now on your home screen click on your 1x1 widget again. Your whole desktop becomes your writing pad, type or write.
You can add more pages within the widget, when needed.
I can add screenshots to show what I mean.
There's Snap Pad Free on Samsung market. It's a scratchpad that can be called up by tapping your chosen side of the screen, and when open it's a translucent layer.

#2 "Settings, other, "Edit on home screen""doesn't exist in the free version. This explains why I've never understood the hype over the app. I did make it transparent, which is fine, but still could only edit from the app interface.
Thanks again.
After reading this thread I've tried both Snap Pad Free (SamsungApps) and Widget Notes - Whiteboard Pro (Google Play).
I think they are both interesting and worth's trying out.
Snap Pad Free is very basic but it has the SPen pressure sensitivity feature (but no palm rejection). That's very good for our GNote 10.1
Widget Notes doesn't have it (too bad!), but it's more advanced and allows keeping multiple notes (maybe in a dedicated home screen), each with its settings and the possibility to have multiple pages)
Thanks for the heads up
Is it possible to disable the collection of opened apps and web pages that comes up when you hit the square at the bottom right hand of the screen. It's really irritating to go through having to delete 20 or so screens. If I want an app, I can click the icon and open it. Arghhh!
My apologies if someone just point me to a link. I've looked and haven't been able to find anything.

I am not aware of a way to disable it.
FYI, it's called "recent apps", or just "recents".

By web pages, are you referring to tabs from chrome browser? If so, there is a option in chrome to disable showing open tabs in the recents screen
Please let me know If that didn't answer your question
Thanks but I'm not using chrome. It's really very insecure. You can be checking your bank account for example and if you leave your phone available someone can pick up all sorts of info about you by just looking at the web page (in my case dolphin) or apps you've had open. I know it was meant as a convenience, but it would be nice to be able to shut it off.

Do u mean to say, u don't want anything to get displayed /happen, When u click on that small square button??? [emoji15] [emoji15]
That's exactly what I want. I want to be able to turn off recents or overview or whatever it is called so that when I touch the square button nothing happens
If it's not possible currently I hope someone from the Android development team is listening and gives it some thought.

It's been in Android for a long time, and it's going to stay. It's a core part of the Android workflow. Removing the functionality is near-impossible, but one could make the button do nothing or set it's visibility to gone.
I recommend you just maybe log out or close anything you deem important enough to be a reason for wanting to disable this functionality. It's just a swipe away. Otherwise, you might as well leave it open as the foreground task and complain that it doesn't close it every time you turn on the screen while you're at it.
Thanks. Just have to live with it I guess.
This a thread to compile a list of things that we noticed were stripped from the Note 4 in the Note 5. We already know about the big things like removeable battery and SD and ir blaster... if you find something include a work around if you know of one.... I've noticed the removed continuous scroll on TouchWiz as well as hiding apps from TouchWiz launcher. They also removed the "Samsung cloud" which has been present since the Note 2 that allowed my Facebook and Dropbox photos to appear in my gallery..... please if anyone knows how to activate that feature please tell me!! Add more below
This may be a software issue (5.01 to 5.11) but I can not find the MULTI WINDOW ON/OFF switch. Not where it is on note 4

Cant figure out how to hide apps, folders, pics, turn off notifications for certain apps. Also coming from a note 3, the button to the left of the home key used to be a settings button now it only brings up open windows. I do not like this at all... need some serious help here.

Update found out how to turn notifications on certain apps off... it is now a little tiny check box at the top in applications manager instead of a big giant button at the bottom. Still need to figure out how to hide apps and photos.

Yea they replaced the menu key with thenmulti window key on the note 4 you'll get used to it shortly... And another way to turn notifications off is if you hold your finger on it some options will come up.

Worth noting: On the Note4, you can still access the menu by holding down the recent programs soft key for a couple seconds. On the Note5, you can do it by holding down the back soft key. Holding down recents will give you easy access to split screen view.

I noticed this, as well, but I think this is an "upgrade" as the "100s" of toggles were too many before. I have also noticed that there are less entries in the menu, making it simpler looking and easier to navigate/find stuff. It doesn't always necessarily mean options were removed, but just put into a different place. I think overall, this is a good thing because it makes navigating and using the menus much easier and faster.
Among other things, I did notice in S-Note the ability to transcribe handwriting into text is gone. I noticed this even though I don't use it much, so it isn't a huge loss. I think most of the missing items on this phone are mostly not necessary and were rarely ever used, so it seems like it's basically a good thing.
I do wish they didn't remove the ability to disable the Flipboard screen on the stock launcher. Now, the only way to get rid of it even after disabling the Flipboard app is the install a 3rd party launcher. That is my only complaint, but I rarely ever use the stock launcher anyway, so it's not really a huge issue for me.
So far this phone is F***ing sick!

You can disable the flipboard page just hold your finger down on the home screen and then scroll to the flipboard page and you'll see a check mark, just uncheck it. Is that what you're talking about? Hope this helps
Wow! Thanks so much!
That's what I was taking about. They simplified everything so it's not so cluttered, but in some cases it makes things harder to find.
That is what I was looking for. I didn't even notice the check mark before. Thanks, again.

As someone who shoots lots of photography. I noticed they have removed the Black and White setting from the camera. It has been replaced with a terrible filter called "Monogram". I have searched through all the menus and even the "downloads" section. NOTHING! I honestly can't believe it. Like WHY? I prefer shooting in B&W. Like at least let me download it. WTH?!

If you have a backup of all your apps using titanium backup or another similar app
you can get that black/white filter file from there.
Or you can even get it from the twrp flashable zipfile which you used to flashed
your rom with.
It's in the same location in the zip file as all the other camera filter files.
(it's either in system/apps or in the system/priv-apps folder.)
Once you extract the b/w filter file copy it into the same location where all the other
filter files are located in your note 5, who knows you just might luck out and it might
work for you.
The filter files don't require flashing or even installing
so there's really a good chance that it will work for you.
To play safe, be sure to fix the attributes for the b/w filter
file to match all the other filter files attributes after copying.
Good luck,
Have a great day!
I've noticed that Google Play Music no longer puts the album art on your lockscreen when you're listening to music. Frankly I'm kinda pissed about this because I really liked it.
S-Note doesn't allow you to change the default notes view. I used to change it to "list view" instead of the default "tile" view. Now I can only see it in"tile"view.

Hi i have a samsung S8+ bought from Bestbuy unlocked
im using the latest firmware and latest youtube app. recently my youtube stop cropping videos properly they onlu crop from top to bottom and no left and right. ive tried any video and trailers since trailers shows perfectly on the infitiny screen.
im not rooted and did nothing to modify my unit. my brother owns a locked ATT s8+ and he doesnt havr this issue.
things ive done that doesnt work
1) Rebooting phone
2) disabled the app overlay option on youtube app
3) the full screen option on settings is greyed out so i cant change it
things ive done (temporary fix)
1) Uninstall youtube update and use stock version
2) clear the data and cache (the problem will accur again after some time)
ive searched google and it seems the issue is very seldom i cant even see a permanent fix im hoping some from xda can help or share info. ?
Cropping is only top and bottom to fill out video to whole screen. The other option was stretch to fit, which stretched the video to the sides. YouTube app for our phone has been iffy. Also the stretching or cropping sacrifice quality.

Ah ok, yea it's been annoying, like it doesn't even remember when I place the button and keeps putting it near a nav button.

yeah but i dont know why others doesnt experience this problem only few people do
The only way to fit a 16:9 image on a 18:9 screen without cropping is by stretching it...
Do you like stretching? I don't, and neither cropping, IMHO better have black side bars.

Hi i have a samsung S8+ bought from Bestbuy unlocked
im using the latest firmware and latest youtube app. recently my youtube stop cropping videos properly they onlu crop from top to bottom and no left and right. ive tried any video and trailers since trailers shows perfectly on the infitiny screen.
im not rooted and did nothing to modify my unit. my brother owns a locked ATT s8+ and he doesnt havr this issue.
things ive done that doesnt work
1) Rebooting phone
2) disabled the app overlay option on youtube app
3) the full screen option on settings is greyed out so i cant change it
things ive done (temporary fix)
1) Uninstall youtube update and use stock version
2) clear the data and cache (the problem will accur again after some time)
ive searched google and it seems the issue is very seldom i cant even see a permanent fix im hoping some from xda can help or share info.

I have already make the same question about the exactly same problem 1,5 month ago... I make a lot of tests and compare with my friends S8+....
I couldn't find a way to make it work for ever.... Only temporarily after clean app cache & data... And finally I found a solution that worked for me everytime...
You must NOT sing in to your YouTube acount.... I know that this isn't the best convinience solution but is working great at least for me.... My testing shows that with the same version of YouTube if you stay unsigned the interface of the app is totally different from the interface of the app when you are singed in... The second scenario that I'm not sure about it is that the issue started when I bought a tablet (xperia z4) and stay singed in... Maybe the updates that I'm getting in my S8+ makes conflict with the updates of my tablet or something like that but I'm not sure..... I hope that I help you and maybe you will find a better solution...
hello did you find a solution to this issue? i have experienced the same trouble, already searched the whole internet, still can't find a decent solution
I know solution, download original youtube mode app with zoom mode. Link is: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/hroo76125r9c7ef/AAAkofwRfrtj140sxY1mZ4dsa/Normal YouTube_v12.42.59.apk?dl=0

Sorry wrong link, correct link is https://www.dropbox.com/sh/hroo76125r9c7ef/AADyAUudoLs8rDCmFh5WmALBa?dl=0
I'm having the same problem - the crop to fit on YouTube option is not available any more.
I'm not sure whether it's the Samsung update which has broken it or the YouTube update. I've uninstalled the YouTube updates and it still didn't work so I'm thinking it's Samsung's update which is the culprit. To say I'm annoyed would be an understatement.....I watch a lot of YouTube on my commute to/from work. I have this big beautiful screen and now can't utilise it fully when watching YouTube as I have the black bars either side.
I may as well pull out my old HTC M7 and start using that as the total area of both screens when watching YouTube is about the same now!!

Everything is OK. You have to stretch the picture two fingers and already

[/COLOR]Stretching works
That wasn't working yesterday. Last night's YouTube update must've fixed it.
