Ive taken tons of pics with my phone that are 8mp or better. ...but for some reason every time i choose a photo to add as my wallpaper on this Tab S, it zooms it and screws the image. Ive done a lot of searching and saw people were having this issue with phones and apps were made to fix, but is there a fix for a tablet? So annoying!!!
Yes its a touchwiz bug, this can be easily fix by installing some wallpaper apps from playstore or using different launchers
I am using Nova and still have it.
I had this problem with wallpapers, i used nova and that fixed it for me
Wonder if it's a Nova setting
Switched to ADW...same thing...So damn annoying. I chose this tab over an iPad Air 2 and something so simple as wallpaper is difficult!!
Can you post a screenshot of what it looks like?

so, just got my phone looking and feeling pretty much how I wanted it using go launcher but I am noticed that either i have a problem with screen sensitivity or there is a problem with go. I am finding that i have to click some icons several times to launch them, seem worse in drawer.
Anyone else finding that the get the audible click but nothing happens?
EDIT: switched back to ADW and everything is back to normal, gotta be an issue with GO..
No. The only problems I've had with Go Loauncher EX is that there was a lag between the start of a horizontal swipe and the homescreens starting to swipe - resolved once I stopped the wallpaper from scrolling too, and in the app drawer sometimes a long press doesn't launch "edit mode".
Other than that it's all gravy...
odd, my problems disappeared when moving back to ADW. Cheers anyway though.
+1 haha i thought it was just me that was having this issue.when you select something on launcher it indicates the touch with the glow but nothing happens?press couple times and it will open.that is what i was having.was making think i was having lag.went back to touchwiz not a issue.
+2 Hot damn, I thought I was going crazy.
Edit: I emailed them about it but it definitely goes away with a different launcher
cool hopefully they will have a fix in no time.those guys work hard.its hard to go back to touchwiz after go.i also use there go pro messenger.built in backup etc like the laucnher.
Having the same "lag" problem.
So, we're all NOT crazy
Cant say I have had this issue and I have been using GO Launcher for quite some time now.
Yes, I noticed this bug also.
I'm using go launcher ex for some time and this came out since 2-3 weeks.
I hope they will fix it soon.

I am having the same issue here. Gestures are disabled but that didn't help (even after restarting phone). Used to have Launcher Pro Plus which didn't have this kind of behavior.
Sent dev an email though.
Same observations. Especially bad for icons in the dock. I have always disabled gestures.
+1 I also have this problem from time to time. First I tought it was me missing the right spot on the screen, but it must be a bug.
This is probably going to be a really obvious question that is right in front of my face, but I just don't see it!
I have a Galaxy Nexus (CDMA), running LiquidSmooth, and yesterday I realized that the bottom row of my home screens (above the row of icons that has a name that is escaping me) is gone. Widgets that used to have something under them now stretch to the bottom. For example, on one homescreen I had the Audio Manager widget on top, then the Friendcaster widget, then some system icons (Settings, Astro, Rom Toolbox, etc.) under that. Now the two widgets are the only things on the screen, with no extra space for icons under them.
It's like I managed to resize the resolution or something. I don't know when it started, or what I might have done prior to it. I thought I was going crazy when I first noticed it, because it isn't a problem I've ever had before. I'm probably going to flash a new rom tonight, and see if that solves it, but does anyone have a clue what might have happened?
Thanks in advance!
screenshots please.
In your launcher what is your grid size?
I'm sure it is possible to change the grid size in Apex Launcher, but I'm not having any luck finding it. Might be paid version only, but I'm still looking.
Argh, can't post the screenshots until I have more posts. The annoyance of being a lurker sometimes. :/

As we all know that the 4.2.2 update made our phone as fast as the 4.1.2. But it has a bug, at least for Maguro (not happening on my N7). Do you ever get a laggy scrolling on homesceen, when entering app drawer and scrolling in recent apps? I believe everyone has it. But only few people notice it. I have tried all 4.2.2 ROMs. AOSPA, AOKP, PAC, etc and all of them has this bug (I have done a clean flashing). And I have tried all launchers, Nova, Apex, Holo, Action Launcher, Stock, but the lag is still back!
The (systemUI) lag has to do with rendering (static) wallpapers. This can be solved by:
1. Setting a live wallpaper
2. Temporarily, by pressing the app switcher button, rotating the screen and pressing the back button
3. Disabling system autorotate
4. Making the launcher (instead of systemUI) handle the rendering of wallpapers. In Nova launcher, use the 'force scrolling' option, in Trebuchet (CM) use the 'wallpaper quick render' option
5.. Using an app to set static wallpapers as if it were a live wallpaper
Also, emptying cache for all user and system apps using Titanium Backup seems to affect the issue positively. Please note that this might result in some settings being set to stock (like the keyboard, snooze duration and some other minor things).
Well, this is only for temporarily solution for those of you that getting sick of this bug. Waiting for the fix from Google.
Thanks to Butter Smooth for summarizing
Tiny Kernel and Crossbreeder Mod = No lag for me.

AW: Solution for laggy homescreen and systemUI in 4.2.2 update
I've noticed the choppy transitions in 4.2.2. too and I'm glad I'm not the only one
Another finding is that changing the wallpaper makes the transitions smooth again. But the choppiness returns after a while. I'll try your tip tomorrow and report...

using xperia z live wallpaper with water ripple and it's free
I have notice this as well. Static wallpapers cause app drawer lag for me and when I use phase beam its lag free! Weird considering live wallpapers usually slow down the system..

To me 4.2.2 seems the most stable version so far, it's very much consistent, and scrolling in the recent apps menu gets laggy after I scroll a certain amount, and ofc when removing the process it lags, but this was present in 4.2.1 as well, i would have to say that as far as performance say, it's much more consistent than previous versions,
Static wallpaper or live, i see no difference

im using latest pa (4.2.2) with apex launcher with a few widgets and have no lag whatsoever. i use a solid black color as backround.

There's actually a lot of truth to the live wallpaper trick. Back on the Photon forums, we would use this technique to smoothen out the UI on our ICS and JB releases since we did not have a proper kernel and drivers, thus terrible onscreen performance. But this fix has existed since ICS! And it works!
Regarding the live wallpaper being smooth. It might have something to do with scrolling wallpapers too. How is everyone's feelings on a static, non scrollable wallpaper? Or is that what we are talking about?
I've had the choppyness too.
I am now using plasma beam and will report back. I also am going to try it on my nexus 10.
I'm telling you guys, try out the combo I posted in post 2. It really removes lag.

i use it like that(single homescreen no scroll)and i noticed the same lagging issue after a while
but i think it has to do with how you set the wallpaper, when i used zedge or image2wallpaper to set them the issue stated on the OP appeared
but if i use the stock gallery to set them and the problem is mostly gone
something else ive noticed is that the status bar lag only happens when on the launcher screen, open any app and pull the SB and its smooth, go back to the homescreen and pull it,its choppy
EDIT
still happens even after using the stock gallery

Using plasma live wallpaper. So far so good.

I've noticed the same problem with 4.2.2 ever since it came out. I usually use Phase Beam so I never noticed it. Only when I switched to a static wallpaper (one of the stock ones) for a day did I notice that the transitions into and out of app drawer and scrolling through home screens gets choppy. I never did find a way to reproduce it reliably, but I do know that if you use it long enough it will start to happen.
Immediately fixes itself by setting to any Live Wallpaper as OP had suggested.
Problem only started to occur with 4.2.2. Never had it happen in 4.2.1 or 4.1.x.

Then try to swipe on lockscreen between widgets if you have some. You will notice that the lag is still there, but atleast its a better deal to have it on lockscreen then on homescreen.

I don't know man. I'm either lucky or just not as picky but I don't even notice lag there. I have a few screens of widgets on my lock screen too.
Set a static wallpaper, go back to home screen or lock your device. Then, swipe down the notification bar and notice how choppy it appears.
Now, go inside an application, like Calculator - swipe down the notification bar and notice how smooth it is.

Ok, I see what you're saying now. It was slightly smoother. Thats odd.
Over the last few days, the wallpaper on my Note 10+ has been turning sideways and sticking like that. The actual home screen does not turn landscape - just the wallpaper. the only way I can fix it is by restarting the phone.
Anyone experiencing this or have a fix?
I use Nova Launcher.
Thanks.

I think it's a bug. I reported it to Samsung Member. I started a reddit thread in hopes to find answers because like you, I have tried changing the wallpaper back, but it just keeps changing back. It only seems to happen after exitting landscape video apps/ or apps.
Because I signed up to reply to this, I can't post URLs.
I hope this helped ease you.

I was just having the same problem since I updated yesterday. I think I just fixed it. I went up to the search bar on the homescreen by dragging the top of the screen down and searched wallpaper. Opened that up and it showed my current selected wallpaper on lockscreen and regular homescreen. Below that I had dark mode selected (I guess that is new with the update) I unselected it. It fixed it. I wanted to be sure so I went to an app the went into landscape mode and then closed it and it stayed fixed.
after updating to one ui 2.1, wallpaper scrolling in nova launcher or any other launcher has been stopped, i tried reinstalling but problem persists. is anyone having this issue ? any solution ?? help please.
i have the exact same issue. no more scrolling in any of the launchers i tried after one ui 2.1 update
tried evie and nova.
maybe something to do with the way wallpapers get cropped has changed?
I discovered the same thing...three days ago, after running all the updates on my brand new Note 10+. I'm glad to know it used to work, speaks to a non-zero chance Samsung might fix it? I'm largely resigned to not being able to mod phones anymore (got lucky with the Note 4), but this kind of stings.
I have this problem too and it's driving me nuts! I did notice that it still scrolls in the dock on any launcher, but rest of the background will not scroll. I've searched everywhere too and haven't found a solution for it yet.
I've disable HW overlay and for 2 days now it's good...I dont play games, but I did have lags on UI.
I tried to change my wallpaper after 2.1 update and it wouldnt change. I downloaded a new wallpaper and used root explorer to apply it. Woke up the next morning and the wallpaper had changed its orientation somewhere during the night. Got to be some bugs with this update.
I found a solution in Reddit for my Galaxy S10+. In Nova Launcher Settings, tap the search icon at top right. Search for "force", and tap the result that says "force wallpaper scrolling". It's a hidden option that's not normally visible because it's "rarely needed"according to the tool tip.
Enjoy!
