Hi all - Just bought the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 yesterday at BestBuy. Very happy with it! Was wondering if anyone had the following issue also.
When I swipe to my UX Magazine - pressing the three verticle squares to get news from a list of options (should load on the right hand side) - all I see is a continuous loading circle going round and round. There is no way for me to be able to change the source of the news in the UX magazine. Its like a continuous loop. I only bought this thing yesterday. My wifi is secure - totally working fine otherwise. Everything works perfectly - just this aspect.
Is this a bug or something?
When I watched this video it seems like the guy said it happens to him sometimes too at minute 5:33 - "Sometimes this doesnt load - I dont know why"...

Hi all,
I've had 3 or 4 OTA updates on my LGG3 since I got it last year, one of the ones around 20h made the swipe to camera icon disappear. The one in the bottom right...
How do I get it back?
Also, how do I change volume down to launch a third party camera (XCam LG)
This is possibly due to the change in Android Lollipop's lock screen settings. If you see stock ROMs or vanilla Nexus, there isn't any lock screen widgets anymore either.
However, I've inspected the ROM packaging (at least for Cloudy's ROM), this code is still there, it just doesn't show up for some reason.
I'll let some other pro answer this...
Solution? Wait for v30-base from G4's LG UX 4.0 software, if not you can download third-party lock screen apps (i.e. WidgetLocker or HiLocker)
Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm having the same issue.

I installed zui locker, played around with it's camera settings then uninstalled it. Funny the camera widget appeared and remained in the stock lockscreen.
hi,
I downloaded couple of APKs from Sammobile, especially from the S8 and install on my tab s3, it worked perfectly. No more Apps button, just swipe up, icons from the S8 ( some of it) but the main draw back, though its not significant to me, the icon becomes smaller if you change to 5x6. But, so much smooth now.
The version I downloaded from Sammobile would not rotate into landscape, which made my keyboard case useless. I had to to a full reset to get back to stock. Has anyone found a version that will work in landscape?
Any way to get this with landscape option?
I would also like to use this, as I HATE the massive icons on the stock launcher, but I almost never use my tab in portrait orientation.
Has anyone found a way to allow this launcher, but also allow landscape?
(Sorry, I know I'm late to this conversation, but I just got my S3)
Hi all...
very kindly, could someone give me the stock version of touchwiz for the s3 galaxy tab?

If you download a stock ROM from Samsung, you can just open it up using a zip program and get the apps out that way. IMHO that's the safest way to get stock files.

With my S6, the wallpaper would rotate (and crop to fit) when I forced it into landscape mode.
I use Nova Launcher, Tasker, "Rotate" app.
On the S9, when I force landscape, the wallpaper stays the same.
Display > Home Screen > Portrate mode only (uncheck this)
You should be able to do it with a 3rd party launcher, though?

Ah. That's grayed-out in my S9 settings and I don't see that option in Nova Launcher - hopefully it's there somewhere.

Hi guys,
I have the same problem on my S9+. Wallpaper doesn't rotate. Neither in Samsung Launcher nor in Nova Launcher. Tried the setting you suggested - nothing changed.
My S8 has the same settings and it works on that device. Any ideas?

Yes, I meant to follow up and say the same thing - even with the stock launcher, changing the Display setting just allows the icons to rotate - the wallpaper remains portrait. Really bummed that the wallpaper can't rotate to landscape. Android should allow that kind of customization.

Android does allow it I suppose. As I said, it works on my S8. Therefore I think the source of the problem is either related to Samsungs S9(+) or the carrier modifications.
What does it say on your phone for carrier softwareversion? Mine says DTM/DTM,DTM/DTM where my S8 says DTB/DTB/DTB

Can anyone confirm that wallpaper rotation works on their S9/S9+? Doesn't work on mine (Xeo). Perhaps on another carrier or ROM?

No. I switched to DTB but still doesn't rotate.
I've just spoken to Samsung's consultant and they said that phone ROM doesn't provide the possibility for wallpaper or live wallpaper to rotate...
That worries me a lot as I have KLWP (Kustom) and Tasker preset that need wallpaper rotation for them to work properly ;( ...
Perhaps some kind of MOD could bring this back to life ...

in your opinion, the solution to allow wallpaper rotation can be somehow found (by for ex. custom ROM) or is it rather permanent and i should rather focus on finding other solutions for my presets?

Anyone ... Guys, as above, permanent no wallpaper rotation or can be somehow done?
If any want to get Samsung to fix this, they should call and make a support ticket, which is what I did. This is one update that totally halted my app release which was suppose to be this week. Make the call everyone!!
Have the same problem on my Verizon Galaxy Note 8 only after applying the April security update patch. Wallaper rotation worked fine on all launchers (that could rotate) before. Even if you applied a wallaper with Samsung's wallpaper applier, it would rotate in Nova or Smart Launcher. Now wallpaper rotation is completely broken. The launchers will still rotate (except Samsung's but the stock one has never had that ability on the Verizon Note 8), however the wallpaper always remains portrait regardless of launcher or wallpaper applier.
Verizon and/or Samsung messed up the wallpaper handling in Android with the April security patch.
This is the only place online I've seen this issue even mentioned. I really wish it'd get fixed.
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 on Xfinity Mobile. Latest update broke wallpaper rotation so this is a Samsung issue I believe.
same situation here with the T-Mobile note 8

Ditto, but I am experiencing this on a US Unlocked Note 8 (SM-N950U1)., and is continuing on the may security patch. I have done a factory reset and the problem was not fixed. I contacted Samsung several times and eventually they redirected me to their research team, who I have yet to call.
I experience envy every single time one of my friends rotates into landscape and their wallpaper rotates accordingly. I never knew just how much I loved wallpaper rotation. F.
Obviously the problem is not vendor specific as we have had several vendors represented in these posts and I can add AT&T to the list as my S9+ will not rotate my wallpaper either although my S6 did so just fine, despite the fact that the Home Screen option in Display settings is grayed out and untouchable on it as well.
I believe the answer is for all of us S9 owners to bombard Samsung with trouble tickets to get their attention. This may not have the impact of the Note7 meltdown problem but it is obviously very annoying to a great many people.
I am quite used to my S6's background rotating when I put it on my magnet mount in the car and now with my 9+ that pleasure is lost. At least the rest of the screen items (except the dock) do rotate, but the aesthetic is just not right.
I hadn't thought of using Tasker to straighten this out but according to the posts I have read elsewhere Tasker solutions aren't working either.

On the stock TW launcher on my Note 8 the wallpaper rotatin works if i cange that line in sytem/etc/floating_feature.xml
Code:
<SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_LOCKSCREEN_CONFIG_WALLPAPER_STYLE>MOTION,INFINITY,VIDEO,[COLOR="red"]INCONSISTENCY[/COLOR]</SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_LOCKSCREEN_CONFIG_WALLPAPER_STYLE>

I can confirm, that this also works on my galaxy s9 XEO - rooted - G960FXXU1ARCC - just edited the file with ES File Explorer and after reboot wallpaper rotation works again - checked on stock launcher and "Lightning Launcher".
Thanks for great tip
Hello experts,
After upgarding to Android 10 on my Samsung S9 I have a problem (only on my loved Nova launcher) with the Smart Lock feature.
Often, but not always, when I unlock the phone the S9 asks me to unlock it with the 4 digits or via fingerprint (it shouldn't since the SmartLock feature is enabled: when I'm home/office and when a trusted bluetooth device is linked it should directly unlock).
The problem doesn't occur if I use the Samsung One UI launcher (terrible interface...) and from Samsung support they say "it's a Nova Launcher problem"...
Suggestions?
Thanks a lot
I have the same, but have never seen it working on my S9 with stock launcher either.
