[Q] Gallery App - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys I just got my note 4 and I noticed that the gallery app is out of place. The upper left hand corner is not aligned. I started to check other apps and they all seem optimized correctly. The google play app was also doing the same thing until I downloaded an update for it this morning.
I am looking for the best display settings for this device. I had the 6 plus before and just wanted to give android another try

That's the way mine looks.

Sounds good thanks bud

Front Facing Camera...

Is anyone's front facing camera pretty sluggish and laggy when using it? I can snap photos fine, but when I'm displaying things through the front camera, it's pretty sluggish when moving about.
Thats because you are video chatting it'll laggy like that.

I don't do video chatting though. It is when I switch the camera from the back one to the front one that I experience lagginess.
Who said he was video chatting lol I didn't see that in op. To answer ur question I see some lagginess to tho not a big deal to me don't use it that much. It actually takes OK pics too.....in a good light setting

Yeah I think you're right. I just tested this out on my sister's Galaxy S 4G, and although they're completely different phones, I think the "lagginess" is just a limitation of the camera and not a defect. I implied in my OP that I had a defect for my FFC, but in reality, I think it's just made that way. It snaps photos fine so I can live with it.
Funny thing is, my old phone, an EVO 3D, didn't have nearly as much stutter or lag on the front facing cam. Oh well. Heh.
I'm not too distrubed by the lag....but I have another problem. Whenever I take a picture using the front camera. It takes it fine, but then instantly mirrors it (Right -> Left). So if someone was standing behind me on the right in the pic, when I capture it, it shows it fine for a second but then reverses it as soon as it goes to the little gallery icon on the bottom left. So tthen the guy looks like hes standing on the left. Any fix for this?
I found this annoying too! But then I discovered all I had to do was flip it in the Samsung photo editor app. Just click the share button and share with photo editor. The second arrow on the top shows rotation options and it looks perfect.

Are you talking about in the market? If you changed your DPI then you will have issues with market capability. As far as updating an app from a website, never heard of it.

Not really a tip as such but I have found mine losses connection between Note and watch if I dont keep checking it or getting incomong data eg texts etc.

Yeh because of the connection loss I decided not to get this tell us how you get on it still looks like fun
I bought sony smartwatch, It works really good and no connnection loss.
I read some time ago that there is an app that keeps check connection with liveView and keeps it connected...
any chance you can find the name?
the reason i got the lifeview is because it was way cheaper then anything like it so... why not play with it abit

Good to know, any tips for apps / plugs for this little fellow?

Well gave in an ordered it lol main worry was battery and connectivity, had a quick look some good apps if they do what they say. calc for 1 will save me getting my phone out everything I need to work out how much stuff Im putting away.
The main add on i use is the music player one. It allows you to change the tracks playing on thephone whilst keeping it in your pocket. Also shows you the cover art etc which is nifty. I didnt bother setting up twitter or facebook apps but having seen vids of them they seem to work well.
About the calculator app I am not sure how well that will work as the screen is fairly small so can imagine it very easy for anything too complex ie that you cant work out in your own head.

Well this came today and first impressions the pre loaded music app works fine just shows the name of song and artists. Have not tried facebook or twitter might later the one thing I dont like is that when on wrist the watch face and icons are facing wrong way (fingers to arm where on a watch its top of wrist to bottom lol hard to explain).
Also cant get it to see any plugins they are in the liveware manager but when I go to liveview manage plugins there is nothing there
What wrist do you wear this on? I wear on my left hand side and icons are correct way round etc. Check on the application manager you have told it what tiles to display on the watch face.

I'll review mine when I get it, just shipped it from the states to isrsel

Just got mine in the mail, charging
One thing I must say, it came with the fixed watch back.... But with one problem, it's hard as hell to remove it
So... What apps do I need for it after I update it?
Sent from N7000
got my liveview ..updated software...installed liveviewcharm to stop disconnects
But no plugins are showing as installed on phone plus when I go to add plugin it says all plugins already assigned. what am I doing wrong ?
EDIT
Google is my Friend
quick search & I found this

If anyone wants to know how to get #LiveView Plugins working with #ICS here is a small howto:
1) Install ADW Launcher
2) Open ADW Launcher, longpress on the homescreen and create a "Custom Shortcut"
3) when selecting the shortcut target select "Activity"
4) Search the Plugin within the list and select the "****Preference" subnode
5) Press OK
6) Click on the new shortcut so that the preferences of the plugin will open
7) check the "Enabled" checkbox of the plugin
8) you are done the plugin should work now... but you need to restart LiveView-App to see them!
works well with all plugins I've tested for now ;-)

Video Streaming Apps and the phantom icon.

Please help me. I just can't find this problem addressed elsewhere.
I have a couple of apps that have started inserting a right arrow icon on screen while playing streamed video. The icon is in the upper right hand corner to start then jumps to centre screen.
The apps that are doing this are the VLC Direct Pro Free, and the TR-580
Tricorder. Both display the same icon and same behavior.
3g/4g/wifi all the same. I tested both after a reset to rule out any other apps or changes I may have made.
This started after I moved to a new Rom. See below..
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill

Looks like it was something to do with the Jaguar III series ROM. I flashed Captian_Throwback's stock ROM and everything is good.
Thanks everyone for all the . . .

screen issue - jagged edges when playing videos

Hey everyone,
I have come across only one issue with the nexus 7 2013 which is related to its screen. Wallpapers and icons look perfectly fine and so do still images even when zoomed in. However, every time I play a YouTube video in HD, the screen cant handle the moving picture and everything becomes slightly jagged, rough edges. Nothing stays smooth. Text seems choppy and kind of pixelated. I replaced 2 nexus 7s already and still experience the same issue with the third one.
If any of you have experienced the same issue please reply. Any kind of explanation would be appreciated. I love the device itself and don't want to give it up for this issue.
Thanks in advance

The problem is with the latest YouTube app update. Uninstall the latest update and it will look amazing. You can uninstall the update from settings > apps > YouTube.

Classic Watchface : settings cog not there !

I have a Xperia XZ Premium, and also of course a Smartwatch 3 which work fine.
About a week ago my wife wanted to upgrade from her Xperia Z5 and so I bought her a Xperia XZ Premium to match mine. and all was fine until we came to try and alter the Classic Face !
As has been mentioned on here the "steps" no longer work, so all we did was change the three widgets, so we had 'battery level', 'date' and 'week number' and my wife wanted to do the same on her nice new phone
But she CAN'T.... for a start there is no little 'cog; in the middle of the watch face so I changed to another face and clicked on the 3 dots on the Classic Face, where the option to get the "settings" was there but when you click on this it tried to connect with Google Play to download the settings from somewhere but fails so obviously the app for that is missing !
So - no steps... and now you can't adjust/change anything like the widgets I have just mentioned, colours or anything else.... why, just why ?????
My still works OK, and I have removed and reinstalled Wear OS a few times on her phone but no joy
So whose fault is this ? Google messing with the OS ? or Sony not updating the watch face ? … or me for not being clever enough to work this out ?
Help please !
As my wife is driving me mad.. all she wants is the watch face she loves to be as she wants it … i.e. like mine !
Transfer app from you phone to hers

It looks like the underlying app required to change to setting on the Smartwatch 3 has been removed from the Playstore. I've just upgraded my Xperia and spent ages trying to find it. Eventually, I resorted to using an app that lets me transfer apps from my old phone to my new one. I used SwitchIt, it's quick and easy, and I transferred 2 apps - SmartWatch and Watch Faces (not sure this one is required but the SmartWatch app is). Everything works fine now and I can configure the widgets no probs.
Many Thanks !

Thanks for your reply, as they say better late than never
Seems like it was Sony's fault for removing the Smartwatch 3 App from the store !
We both LOVE our Smartwatch 3, and can't see any reason to 'upgrade' them as they foo everything we want...
Would be nice IF the brought out a Smartwatch 4, as we would certainly buy one !
I won't hold my breath though as they ditched laptops, then tablets and no sign of those coming back either, but my 3 'old' Sony laptops are all running fine on Windows 10 and my 4 Sony tablets are fine too despite no Android upgrades

I can share the "Watch Faces for Smartwatch 3_v2.0.A.0.20.apk" if you still need it...
