Wallpaper parallax not working anymore? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I updated via OTA to BGO8 2 days ago and since then the parallax effect isnt working anymore, my phone is 100% stock, i even tried to delete TouchWiz home data with no luck, anyone else has this problem?

Same here!
After the 5.1.1 update the parallax effect is gone.The only thing i can see when i activate the option is just a little zoom of the wallpaper.Anyone knows how to fix this???

I confirm. Wallpaper Motion Effect is not working. It maybe a bug. Hmmm....

Well, at least im not the only one, let's hope Samsung will release a fix soon.

I have the same problem.

If you take it to Samsung service centre I know what they would say factory reset or odin flash didn't think I would miss it not working but I do . I hope one of these clever chaps from here has a fix soon

i have the same problem too

Toggle is gone and I'm ok with it. Had it disabled anyways with previous version.

I've still got the toggle. Longpress homescreen->wallpaper. there is the option.

Toggle is there but it's not working the effect.

They shifted the ability to auto stop apps.. it was under optimise battery but now it can be found in Smart Manager > RAM > swipe left.. There's a new tab..

same here. no effect any more.

Australian generic ROM looks like your left picture for my small apps, and swiping does the same swipe down small apps gone, swipe back up they appear again
I already figured it out and its a bug when you use an app that is related in "Accessibility". I am using Greenify and instead of using Google Now on tap, when I long press it, I want my screen to lock, then after I enable it, the overlapping will appear, and when I disable it , it will return to original position
Happens with me too when I use "lastpass". Turn off the accessibility option for Lastpass, and it fixes it. I think it would be considered a bug for the build.

Yes that worked. But then Pebble Time won't work. I do use the small apps quite a lot. Eghhh?
t is definitely caused by the accessibility service for Geeenify or any other system optimizing apps for me also. Disabling the accessibility service for them will solve the problem .... i tried it worked out !!
I can suggest that the overlapping problem comes also with tasker when the accessibility service is activated. Disabling the tasker service can resolve the problem but it sacrifices some importatnt tasker fontions. I tryed factory reinstallation but it can't resolve this issue. I have also grenify installed on my xperia z5. There is the same problem with microapps. Really disappointed with this update. The fingerprint funtionalyty is changed also, when you lock your phone with the external program like tasker you can't activate the phone with your fingerprint sensor, the phone asks for a password.

[Q] S8+ display doesn't rotate - stuck in portrait mode

I have the T-Mobile S8+ (SM-G955U). It is NOT rooted. I pre-ordered my device and got it early. I've had no real problems with the phone until this issue cropped up a week or so ago.
The rotate option in settings has completely disappeared. See attached. How can I get it back?

Have you tried a restart yet? That will fix a lot of little issues you might be having.
Edit:
Also, have you disabled any packages with Package Disabler Pro or any other app?
Yep, tried the "soft reset" option: press and hold the “Power” and “Volume Down” buttons on the device for about 10 to 20 seconds. No change. I'm reluctant to do a Hard Reset (traveling) until I return home.
I had been using Package Disabler Pro with only a few things disabled. Figuring that it might have been the cause of the problem, I removed both the app and the engine. The the problem remains: no way to enable the rotation.
And you tried to go to the three for menu send change button order and see if it's on the bottom (disabled) and fresh it back to the top of it is?

I had this exact same issue with my old Note 5
Out of the box (In my case) my rotate icon was missing from Notification bar. I also had no root or any tweaks etc.
I spoke to Samsung rep and they told me to try some Samsung Galaxy fix from their app store. This app did not help (forgot the name)
If you Google this issue overall its a common issue
with Samsung's devices.
It was a big issue way back i think with S6 (not sure Google it)
I reflashed my stock Rom etc.. nothing helped.
Anyway what i did was, download an 3rd party
rotate widget app, from Play store and it worked 100%.
Rotate icon would show up in Notification bar..!
As soon as i uninstalled 3rd party app, icon dissappeared..! So i just kept the
3rd party rotate widget
Maybe to can try same ?
Bottom line,
this is an old Samsung bug that affects
only small percentage of their device.
Good luck
Yep. Nothing is disabled. See attached.

Figured as such, but never hurts to verify the basics.
I remember their was an issue with some devices (S6 era) dropping quick toggles. Maybe try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xpe.app.quicksettings.manager
Not sure how much it costs, I bought it for my S6 a long time ago. It won't open on my S8 but maybe something similar can be found?

For me it was a very annoying and frustrating
issue. If i switched off 3r party toggle.,
Icon would disappear etc.
So just keep widget out of sight
(dock draw) and forget about it.
Good luck

Weird gallery app scrolling

Happened after the gallery updated awhile back. Scrolling through the gallery it just freaks out, doesn't go smoothly at all. Bounce around and shakes. Made a video about it. Anyone else have the issue?http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/59722a6a49ae4/2017_07_21_12_00_31.mp4

this is software issue, test it with another gallery app
or if you use sdcard test it on another device (maybe it slow down the loading process)

Yea I'm aware it's a software issue. Just seeing if anyone has been having the same problem with the Samsung gallery

Are you using any bixby remapping app that uses gesture accessibility? If yes. Then that's it.
Gesture accessibility makes scrolling not smooth.
Try disable all your accessibility.

That is exactly what I'm using. So it's either remap bixby or have weird scrolling?
I think I'll kill the remap app
Very weird though, only happens in the gallery app. No other app.
Find bixby remap app that doesn't use perform gesture accessibility
Example "bixby remapper" the stable mode doesn't use it.
But will have delay/ bixby screen splashing for a second.

You can test by turn off all accessibilty first,
Then try scrolling again.. to confirm if it is the cause.
Just tested it. Definitely bxActions

in my case ,
i'm using bxActions , to remap Bixby and after reading above post ,i checked my
Gallery app ( scrolling etc ) and its smooth .No weird issues .
(I normally use the 3rd party Piktures app .)
Previously ,when i had scrolling issues etc .
i found that ( in my case) the culprit was Lux ( auto brightness app )
I uninstalled and all is well .

Tried performance mode. It still makes me enable an accessbility option. Still freaks out in the gallery
The culprit ( this is on comfort mode)
Never use any app that ask this accessibility permission..
You'll have stutter scrolling in some apps.
Nope I figured it out. Doesn't matter which mode I use. The second I turn on compatibility mode that says it works for the new update... That's when it bugs out.
Problem is, without compatibility mode bxActions doesn't work

post note

So i guess you on T mobile or Sprint ?

Damn.. the stutter now isn't gone even after i uninstall bxaction ..

Well, one thing this reminds me of is a more polished rom'd phone. Even with a Nexus 6 the software had some bugs just because software got pushed out so fast.
I played around and for sure it's the launcher, if you install Nova launcher the home button can be configured to work as you describe. The only thing about THAT is no swipe to open google now (which I usually configure to be double tap on the background). Though I'm sticking with the default Launcher3 for now.

Have you checked out the Nova Google Companion app? It adds the ability to swipe from the left to access Google now while using Nova Launcher.

^^This - I have this configured in Nova now and it works great.
Try a factory reset without installing any apps during setup. Try the blank slate route. It may be an app that isn't playing well with the last update. If it doesn't work you can always reset and install you apps from backup.
I ended up doing nova with the google companion.
I did not try to reset again to see if it was an app I installed (I do not have many). It has to be a bug with the launcher. What they probably should do is break out the launcher as a separate app for them to be able to update as an app instead of requiring a system update.
With that done that should be it, now that the camera and whitelist app are depreciated.
Same issue here. I've tried to factory reset but it hasn't worked for me. I don't feel like rooting the phone either to fix something that a phone that costs $700 should get correct out of the box...
Sent from my PH-1 using Tapatalk
You don't have to root it to use Nova, nor do you have to root do to the companion to get the now integration. All you have to do is sideload the now companion... not sure about how updates work though.
Anyway, at some point this was fixed in the default launcher. I got a RMA phone due to the speaker grill issue, and noticed it worked. Then went back and tried it on my original phone and it was good there too.

Split screen view option missing from menu

Updated to Pie. The split screen option is not in the menu no matter what app I try it with. I've checked every place I could think of in Good Lock, Nova Launcher & Samsung settings & can't find anything that would be preventing it. I even tried under Samsung Launcher & had the same result. If anyone has any ideas, please share.

If you have a specific app that you need to use in Multu-window with YouTube, you can also use the apps edge panel to open the pair simultaneously.

I tried a few things but couldn't replicate what you are experiencing. Are you running Good Lock? I know it has a feature that modifies multi window, but I don't know if it would cause the issue you have.
Did you take the ota directly from the carrier? Or did you flash the new pie update? Mine came from the carrier last Thursday. Today, I backed up everything and did a factory reset and it feels like it's running smoother. Maybe that could fix your issue.
Turns out it was a bug in Good Lock's Multistar. They pushed an update last night that fixed the problem for me. Thanks to all for trying to help.
