Weird gallery app scrolling - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

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)
:good:

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

Just got the July Security Update, T-Mobile Variant, and the updated gallery and it's as smooth as butter.

Good to know. Gallery app is up to date and I downloaded the July update a few days ago.

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 .

Just checked bxaction. You should use the
Performance mode. Or hybrid (paid version)
That one doesnt use perform gesture accessibility

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

yes , i'm using hybrid option .
I got it remapped to Google Assistant Extra ,
Overall have been using bxActions for a week or so ,no issues with other apps on device .
I'm stock Rom ,no root .
post note
my compatibility mode is not turned on ,
So i guess you on T mobile or Sprint ?
I have a branded Vodafone.

Damn.. the stutter now isn't gone even after i uninstall bxaction ..
Bxaction just messes up my scrolling
Now i cannot use any bixby remap app

Wallpaper parallax not working anymore?

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

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.

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.

Honor 6x stock killing apps that it shouldn't

I have a call recorder app and that thing keeps getting terminated even though it's in the protected app list.
Any solution?
Thanks!
It could be that the call recorder app you installed is not support for use with either the current version of android installed on your device, or it's just not compatible with your device entirely.

Try using another call recorder. The current call recorder you are using probably isn't compatible with the Honor 6X.

Glad you solved your problem. But I wonder why would the battery optimization software cause problems with the call recorder app that you are using....
guest user doubt
In Honor 6x is guest mode available or not???? and by using only pin can we split two user accounts i.e(user and guest) or else can we use also fingerprint for two users...please reply me back

I know this is an old thread but I'm having the same issue. Even if I lock a program in recent apps, it will still close at some point. I have to reopen my podcast app and pdf reader on a daily basis (sometimes multiple times) And I have battery optimization off.

Go to settings -> Battery -> Close apps after screen lock and untick the apps you dont want the OS to close. I have seen apps running in the background for days, sometimes I even forget that the app was in background until I open it for something.
Yes, I've already done this too. (Sorry for not mentioning it.) It's weird though, it seems like it only keeps the last 3 or 4 recent apps max after a certain period of time. I like this phone but this is one is starting to bug me a lot.
Anyway, Pocket Casts, ezPDF Reader, TuneIn Radio Pro and Music Folder Player all are identified as power intensive and get killed, even if locked and unselected from lock screen close or the power intensive apps screen. I have all power saving options turned off as I rarely get below 70%.
Note: I've been poking around some more and ended up in app settings and in the Advanced/Special Access, it looks there is a "Exempt from battery optimization" section. I'm going to put my reader and music apps in and see what happens.

Cannot use fingerprint to unlock after using screen off app

Hi there,
I tried to use screen off apps on my SS S8, but when unlocking, it requested PIN numbers instead of using the fingerprint.
The fingerprint only works if we lock screen using the physical button or after timeout.
Do you happen to know any workaround for this?
I read a thread on S7, suggesting using Nova launcher with Screen Lock widget. But, is there any setting we can change to use other apps?
Many thanks,
Nghia
That's general security setting of Android. Happens to me on my OnePlus 3 when it's locked by Greenify. Simply ditch those lock screen apps.

hello,
it is a know issue, try Double Tap to Turn Off, will solve this problem, I am using it and I can use iris, fingerprint, face and of course PIN.

I use nova launcher plus lock screen to double tap gesture. Works fine.
How do u set it up in Nova?
Figured it out, nevermind. At first I thought it was built into Nova, but found the app and set it up. Thx
I was wondering if there are other apps can fix this as well.
Many thanks!

Played around with that app a little more, you actually need to enable that "show clear view" option, what it does is it would show the time on the screen for about one second before showing the AOD screen.

Use "softkey edge" which is a edge app works perfect. U can use iris or fingerprint after lock the phone using this edge app. Also it do not use device admin access..
You can download from galaxy apps and not avail in play store

Do you have a link to this app?
This one works for me:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gr.ictpro.jsalatas.screenoff
I tried those other ones and did not have luck.. either the app did allow fingerprint but did not turn the screen off in a reliable way.. or they required pin / password to unlock..
but just found this one and it works so far!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.redmanit.lockscreen
If this is still a question for anyone:
With nova launcher, you need to give it accessebility permission and choose in the nova settings to use a different lock screen method
The setting can be found in the nova settings by scrolling all the way down and choosing the last option in the advanced settings... Each option has an explanation for how it lockes the screen

Quick Launching Camera from Lockscreen

I must be missing something but hell if I can figure out how to launch the camera from the lockscreen.
Used to be able to do it with a double power button click on my S8 but on my VZW Pixel 3 it brings up the code unlock first. I find that there are many times I just want to take a quick shot without having to unlock the phone.
For that matter, does Pie offer lockscreen widgets at all?
Thanks for your help.

Ah, yes, those were the days (pre-Lollipop) when my lockscreen was super useful and interactive, and so was my notification ticker in the status bar. I feel like an old man now remember how good things USED to be. lol
But to the OP, something is clearly wrong as this feature is turned on by default on Pixel devices. Try a factory reset. You can backup your phone to your computer using the adb backup and restore commands.
Did you select Camera as default app when launching with the phone unlocked? The first time it will give you the "open with" dialog. For me it was Camera and Snapchat. I selected camera and always, and now can launch camera from anywhere.

No, it'll work. You can't view pictures taken before using the camera unless you unlock
I try and get this screen
Works for me with pattern lock, don't use pin.
Just go to the camera settings then scroll down and turn on Quick launch
Enter your pin, and select one of your camera apps as "always" then it'll allow you to skip the pin when you double tap. ?

Thank you for the tip!
I hope by now the problem has been resolved, I was also looking out how to access the camera from the lock screen and it turns out (thanks to advice from friends not from anything I found from the many internet searches) that if you click the power button twice the camera pops up. You can check this by going to Settings- System - Gestures - Jump to Camera.
