Snapchat issues on S8+ - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

First of all, I am not sure whether this is a device issue or an app issue but here's my problem,
When I download snapchat and open it for the first time, it opens in fullscreen and takes fullscreen pictures. The navigation bar is also translucent at this time. However, when I close snapchat and stop it from running in the background then reopen it, the navigation bar is solid black and it no longer takes fullscreen pictures. I have tried uninstalling all other apps to see if they were affecting it, but the problem remains. I have asked everyone I know who also owns an S8/S8+ is they have also experienced this but none of them have. The only solution I have found so far is to uninstall the app and re download it so I'm hoping that someone here knows what is causing this and can help me.

I've never had SC take full screens photo's. Always the black bars.

[Q] Youtube app issue

This is an issue I have consistently, and it's very bothersome. I've searched everywhere for a fix and I can't seem to find anything.
Stock lg g2 will randomly show the notification bar when full screen in youtube app, until I force close the app this issue will continue.
Any way to fix this? It cuts to top and right side of the video and is very annoying.
I've attached two photos of the app in immersive mode and when the problem happens.

Youtube immersive mode bug

Hi,
Probably this thread reports the same issue.
Basically when watching or starting to play a video on Youtube, immersive mode stops working or partially stops working since some icons do disappear but battery icon, and screen bottons become dots. Also a dot its visible on the left side of the notifications bar. Here is a screenshot . Bug fixes temporary after closing the app on the multitask button.
I am not rooted, phone is up to date.
To solve the bug I have tried:
- Play the same video after closing and opening Youtube, is not video specific since immersive mode worked fine.
- Disabling Lightflow, only app with permanent notification I use.
To reproduce the bug I have tried.
- Switching between home screen, youtube and different apps to try reproduce the bug.
- Sending me a gmail notification during the video.
No luck trying to reproduce it.
It's not the most problematic bug, but it gets annoying.
Any ideas on how to fix it or reproduce it?
Thanks

I have had the same issue in the past - to be honest, I thought the last update (5.6.36) had made things better but maybe not.
Like you, I could never work out a way to reliably reproduce it. It seemed if you watch 4 or 5 videos back-to-back eventually immersive mode gives up and you have to close and re-load YouTube to get it back.

Galaxy S6 HDR issue

Hey guys,
Been digging around a bit for a solution but haven't found anything so far...
Anyway, HDR is normally set to "auto" in the camera app. Over the past few days, whenever the HDR is used if auto decides to use it or if it is manually selected) it turns everything an extremely blue hue. I initially thought it was taking a negative image but green sections still appear OK.
Any ideas how to stop it doing that, while still being able to use HDR? The phone isn't rooted, so all I've been able to do without a full reset is clear settings of the camera app.
And it just seems to be Samsung's app - Snapchat and Instagram work fine.
If anyone has any ideas let me know

YouTube Bug?

I'm noticing that on YouTube, after I close the app, and open the app backup, the video plays in a semi full screen mode where I cannot see the content on the side where it normally is. Obviously the workaround is to change it back to portrait mode but that defeats the point of trying to use the app in landscape. What I have been doing so far to alleviate this problem is clearing out the data and cache of YouTube before I open up the app, but as you can tell that gets annoying. I have attached two screenshots. One of them is YouTube the way it should look, the other is showing the problem. Notice the white bar at the bottom. Any fix? I am using a 8013 with 8010 stock rom flashed on it because I wanted KitKat.

Occasional app transition flicker since Pie

I have a Pixel 2 and I feel like ever since the device upgraded to Pie I get this random horizontal line that briefly flickers during a transition between apps from the launcher. It is the very bottom of the screen for any app that keeps a black navigation bar at the bottom. It will only flash or flicker once and doesn't happen all the time. The main app that does this is Hangouts but occasionally happens with others too like the camera app or Google News. I figured it might be software but wanted to see if anyone else noticed it. The device runs fine otherwise so hopefully not a big deal down the road if there is failing hardware.
