Hello,
I recently started having a problem when trying to swipw from one screen to the next on my Galaxy Note 4. Instead of going to the next screen, the bottom corner of the page "flips up" like the page of a book. "Favorites" and "Recent" apps are displayed under the area of the flipped up page. A little balloon also pops up on the top right corner of the screen. I tried disabling multi-window bit this has not solved the problem. I do not know what this function is called and it is annoying. How can I disable it? Thank you!
I made a mistake and thought it was battery doctor but I found out that it is the app clean master instead.
IDK but I hate this too. I also hate the changes in voicemail, although that may be a T-Mob issue.

I've searched high and low for an answer to this one without success. I simply can't believe I'm the only one who has noticed the problem or that it hasn't been resolved by someone, somewhere - but where?
There's an annoying problem with WM6.1 and above whereby an inadvertent left or right movement, whilst actually trying to scroll up or down through an email, will actually move you onto the next (or previous) message.
I know that this swipe functionality (moving on to the next message by swiping right or previous message by swiping left) is absolutely intentional, but the problem is that it's just far too easy to inadvertently move to the next message (any slight finger movement across the screen) whilst actually simply trying to use a finger up swipe gesture to scroll and read the rest of the email that you've already got open.
Has anyone seen this or found a solution to this enduring annoyance?
Thanks.
I'm amazed that no one else has come across this problem?
There's an additional issue which is if you're reading HTML email where you can switch on scroll to right in order to view the whole width of the email then gesturing tends to switch email, rather than scroll.
Must be a way to switch off left and right swipe to change email surely - but how?
I've been really happy with the S6 and was able to customize most things that were bothering me, except this :
In the app drawer, is there a way to change the way the navigation between pages work and make it like it was on the S5?
On the S5, you could go to a specific page in one click on the bottom "bar", and you could hold you finger on it and slide to scroll quickly through pages.
On the S6, none of those work, clicking a specific page in that bottom bar just goes to the next (or previous) page.
Now that Xposed works, is there something that can fix this?
Thanks!
Oh well.. I guess not.
I thought more people would be annoyed by this change.
Has there ever been a tweak or mod where you can have your notification window come from the bottom instead of top? Seems it would be a great feature with the additional screen size.

Nova launcher can do that with gestures. Or there's a setting in the phone to swipe down on the fingerprint sensor to pull the notification panel down or back up.
What I was meaning is kinda like the control center on the iphone when you swipe up from the bottom of the screen. Just totally move the notification screen to the bottom of the screen once you swipe up.
The furthest you're going to reach your finger is to swipe down from the top for the notification window so why not put it at the bottom being that it's something being used a lot through out the day.
I will say samsung has done a lot for reachability just that one little thing I think would make a huge deal.

Sorry, looks like that feature hasn't been around since ICS.
I'm curious if it's even possible with a custom rom. I always questioned this too. When I had the iPhone 4, I hated switching to iOS 6, but the swipe up from the bottom to access your quick settings was a stroke of genius and got me to actually enjoy it even more after jailbreaking it because you could tweak the odd cosmetics.
iPhone was able to do it through a software update. Why can't Android? What's the limitation and what makes it so limited that no one has been able to accomplish this? Genuine question and interest.
Galaxy S8+ is a phenomenal phone that I think will take quite a bit to outdo it, but the biggest problem with having massive screens is reaching those quick settings. Even with the edge bar, it's still not the same. And the swipe gesture with the fingerprint scanner is neat but that doesn't get you the quick settings a person needs with one hand as well as accessing the notifications.
It would very nice to have that reversed. I have big hands and it's still a pain to always have to use the phone with two hands for those quick things people like to do. Like adjusting brightness, muting, flashlight, Bluetooth etc.
Maybe one day they'll realize people still hold their phones with one hand every now and again and try to tailor that there notification panel accordingly :silly:

It is possible!
It can be done even with an app.
but it can be confusing because of Navigation Buttons at the bottom.
and in this way using this on custom rom can be better >> set nav bars little bit higher and then notification bar below that.......
I think after this idea you will see lots of mods and apps
If I decide to do it I will inform you
I always wanted that swipe down for quick access to controls in ios on Android. Why haven't they implemented that yet? Took them many years to have a "night mode" on Android.

Have never really understood the ergonomics of it. Bottom Status Bar should at least be an Xposed Module!
This app has appeared on my home screen after I updated numerous apps from Google Play.
I can find no information about it. No idea what it does. It does not appear in Settings - Apps nor does it have a widget. I've attached a screenshot of my home screen when the app is started. It adds a curved set of lines across the lower part of the screen and a icon in top right corner that when pressed, returns the screen to its original form.
Can anyone share information about this app?
I've had this exact same thing happen. Weirdly, this posting is the only thing I can find *anywhere* on the internet. It doesn't show up when I display the apps in Application Manager, which is pretty bizarre (and it's not sorted in alphabetical order in my app drawer).
Do you use GoLauncher? They've been touting something about making icons dance when you shake the phone, though that's not *quite* the behavior we see here.
Interestingly (and a bit scarily), when I long-pressed on it to delete it - it disappeared rather than displaying with the 'x' in the corner that would let me uninstall it.
An update: I re-sorted my app drawer again and it appeared. When I long-pressed and then pressed the X to uninstall it, I got a message saying "You will not be able to use the shortcut in App Drawer anymore, sure to delete it?".
I'm 99.999% sure this is more odd behavior from Go Launcher - which has become more annoying with every new release, to the point where I'm considering getting rid of it (sudden ads on lockscreen? Sudden pulldown notifications blocking the screen with no way to get rid of 'em?).
I can't imagine a *less* useful shortcut for them to offer, honestly!
I Agee. I have Go Launcher also and I have the same mystery app on my home screen. My daughter thinks it's pretty cool!
Hi all. Sorry if it seems like a silly question, but on a Samsung Galaxy S7 stock rom,
which apps have their screens slide to the left? Like when they close or change screen. I've only seen screens that slide or close to the right, or pinch out (e.g. Gallery photos, when you hit back, pinch away from full screen to thumbnail).
I've seen a screen disappear by sliding left, twice, and cannot for the life of me figure out what that was. An app hider? A parallel environmnt? Hit me with any possibilities you can think of.
