Strange Screen Issue on Tab Pro 10.1 - Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble

Hi all.
I have a strange issue with my Tab Pro 10.1, as you can see from the picture in the top left hand corner of the screen I have what appears to be a rectangle with curved corners, and a line underneath. This appears randomly, and when it does the only way to get rid of it is to reboot, it will remain on screen no matter what I am doing (games/video/browsing etc).
Has anyone else had this issue, and know what to do to stop it from occurring?

Couldn't see it at first, but it's there, top left hand corner of the pic, semi transparent. I've never had that on my Tab Pro 10.1 though. Looks like a generic smartphone representation. Are you on stock or are you rooted and/or custom ROM?

No, its straight stock rom from Samsung. Whatever the latest build is available OTA for the UK (I am at work so cant check it exactly at the moment). But it definitely is not rooted in anyway.

[REQ] Notification screen bottom

Hi!
I'm quite new to theming with the SGS and I'm a complete noob when it comes to Photoshop, my friends tend to laugh at me in class when we're doing sth in PS. I actually have a request, I don't think it's hard to accomplish, because of all the amazing things I've seen in this section.
Okey, here it goes, the default notification screen (that grey thing you pull down ), I'd like the bottom of it to have actual angles, instead of being round and to go to the actual bottom of the screen, so nothing but the notification screen (and the bar up top obviously) is visible.
I hope I made any sense and I'd very much appreciate if some1 would even consider trying to create this for me and/or others ofcourse.
Thanks!
EDIT: Forgot to mention this, I'm running on XXJPO for the i9000, current ROM is Doc's v7.5 if that matters aswell.

If you get rid of the bar at the bottom when it is fully open, how would you close the drawer?

.....possibly run your finger down the back of the phone?
He means the graphic at the bottom of the notification drawer when fully open which you can skin to be what ever you want... Just cause the image has changed doesn't make it's job change as well. There were a few (personal) themes I made that I removed it and gave the small illusion of extra space
Besides which the back button works just as well

[Q] Removing/Changing the apps in the bottom row of the home screen

Hi there,
Just got a new Galaxy Tab 3 10.1. There's a line of apps installed below the page/panel indicator on the home screens, with a bunch of (to me) ill chosen apps. But I can't drag them off the screen to delete them, like I can the ones above the page indicator. I can't find any mention of what this apparently separate panel is called to search better.
Of interest, are people happy with their purchase of one of these? So far I'm finding it pretty ordinary - not horrible, just ordinary...

Just drag the apps on the lower part of your home screen to the upper part where it says delete. then you can go to your apps and drag them to the lower part of your home screen to add them in the dock
If you're saying about the lock screen then I don't know
Hi!
I'm pretty happy with the tab 10.1! With the latest OTA update it runs even smoother! The runtime is great, can handle up to 5 days with daily usage without charging. I received my leather case today, a 360° case.. I can put it horizontal or vertical and it "wakes up" when i open the case.
With that prize its an absolutely recommendation.
Greetings

Hi there,
On the default home page, there's two large widgets on the top (weather and news). Below that there's a Google search bar. Below that there's a row of shortcuts. These all behave normally. Below that there's the page/panel indicator (telling you which home page you're on) and then at the bottom there's another row of shortcuts. It's that last, bottom row that I'm having trouble with. They don't seem to act normally - I can't drag them off to delete as normal. They appear to be hardwired. They are not the choice I would select and I want to change them.
Are other people able to delete these shortcuts?
Thanks!

Can you show us a picture?
maybe installing a launcher / shell will help you organize your tablet's home screen...
Same problem.

I have the same problem. I'm tired of reading the answer "click and hold then drag it up". It seems to be the stock answer on all forums. They won't move! No matter what I do, the ridiculous row of apps bottom most on the screen is stuck. There's no help for this in the help app/widget. Someone must know how to unlock these darn things. I want to replace them with ones I use regularly.

Qranparoger,
Unfortunately that is the correct answer of click and hold and move. I just did it to mine and I can move two of the three apps I have in the bottom row. The only one that cannot move is APPS. My SETTINGS and FIREFOX can both be moved to the main screen above the bottom row.
My tab is rooted, but uses stock rom. There is nothing special about what I have done. I checked settings to see if I had changed a display or security function but I do not see anything. I do remember when I first got the tab that I too was having problems. But I do remember solving it and removing the bottom row (except APPS) and rearranging the icons or deleting the icons.
It think that maybe it might be in the APPLICATION MANAGER in SETTINGS that you "Turn Off" the app and it might vanish from the bottom of the screen. Again, I cannot remember how I did it but it can be done.

Latest ROM update - still can't change the apps. My tab isn't rooted, and I couldn't be bothered to now. I don't necessarily want to "turn off" the apps, just not use my precious home screen space. Anyway, I solved the problem by buying a Nexus. Yep, free Samsung is just collecting dust, piece of rubbish... Before anyone rages on me, there's a bunch of reasons I didn't like the Samsung, not just this one thing.

Meh... it is all good. Since you got the tab for free, you can send it to me. Give me something to play around with. :laugh::laugh:

[Q] GEL launcher issue on 8.4

Hi All,
I am using the google launcher on my 8.4 running cyanogen nightlies, though this issue happened on the stock ROM as well.
The issue I am having is that occasionally I can see 1 pixel of the google now screen on my first home page. Has anyone seen this issue before and have a fix?
Have attached a screenshot. It's pretty hard to see in the screenshot but irritatingly obvious on the tablet screen.
TIA
what a ugly launcher...
get back to stock asap:good:

I had this in my previous nexus 10 when I installed GEL. However, I don't see this in my nexus5, so I guess it's related to low optimization for tablets. I think I remember it dissapeared when swipping left and right again but it appears again when you lock and unlock. No workaround I think

newsboard/flipboard can it be removed ?

So the left most screen is this news thingy that is similar to flipboard; also when i flip from screen to screen they are no longer circular (like the note 2 - what I mean is when i get to window n; it doesn't then go to window 1) can i make it circular (even if I can't remove the flipboard) ?

To disable Flipboard Briefing, long press on your home screen to bring up the home screen settings. Uncheck the box for Flipboard Briefing. That will get rid of it.
Ok missed that option; it works like a charm (hope they add it to the tablet); still can't do the circular thing which I like but not end of world.
Endless scroll is what you're looking for. I don't think it can be done on the stock launcher. It'd annoying, I agree.
note 2 had it; also on the note 2 icons look nicer; less blocky and tend to be dark with white letters instead of white with dark letters.

Unless there's something specific you like about Touch Whiz, have you considered installing a custom launcher? You can change the icons, the scrolling, and a ton of other things. I'm running Nova and love it.
yea i thought about switching to nova; not quite ready to go that far yet but maybe eventually.

It's extremely quick and easy. It's something you could install, try, and if you don't like it you can go straight back to Touch Whiz. Your Touch Whiz home screens will be exactly as left them.
Nova's actually really nice. I just installed it and got it running on my SGS3, and it's given me no problems at all. Unlike most people, I don't mind TW. My phone is rooted and I'm running a TW custom ROM that just removes a bunch of crapware. But Nova has sort of breathed new life in to my phone. When I do get a new Note or Nexus 6, I'll probably go right back to Nova. I even paid the $4 for the extra features.
I have one question though. When Nova is running, does TW stop running and release memory? Or does Nova just run on top of TW, and use up more memory?

[PX5][Hal9k mod] Spotify/GoogleMaps - strange layout?!

Hi folks!
Yesterday I finally got my summer car back on the road again and for whatever reason the full-display apps are shown in a strange layout.
Especially Spotify and GoogleMaps in navigation mode look like the screen is used as 2 vertical displays next to each other rather than one big horizontal screen.
Normally the "now playing" bar from Spotify stretches over the whole screen, while the 3 main menus (startscreen, search and library)
are displayed beneath it.
GoogleMaps shows your position centered on the right half of the display while the overview and next action are centered on the right side.
Anyone got an Idea how to fix/change this?
TIA!
You could solve it. It happens exactly the same.
So far not - are you also using Hal9k Mod or the stock firmware?

I don't use the original
What does hal9k suggest when contacted for paid rom support or questions asked in his thread
