Wallpaper Sideways - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers

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.

It happened to me yesterday, changing the wallpaper fixed it. I'm wondering if it's a bug in the new firmware released this week. It's not happened since i changed the wallpaper

I don't use Plex, so that's not it.
Only 826 other apps to rule out [emoji23]

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.

[Q] go launcher ex - screen sensitivity problems???

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.

Wallpaper problems

Hey. Just a quick question, does anyone else have problems with there wallpapers bouncing around after the phone is being woke up. I have tried numerous different tasks but still the same. It happens with the standard wallpapers that come with the device. I have tried my own picture from gallery, also does it with live wallpapers. Usually I do the built in task manager and clear the RAM then I have to do that 3-4 times a day. It's just pretty annoying.

I have noticed this also. When it goes from the swipe to unlock screen to the pattern unlock screen the background shifts down. Not a big deal but annoying.

Would you say it sounds similar to this?
"Also adding that lock screen and home screen wallpaper are the same. I don't recall seeing this prior to my factory reset, but now when i unlock my device, the wallpaper shifts upward a hair, but enough to blur when doing so. Distracting and annoying."
Just gathering info right now. You are the only on eI have seen with what seems to be the same or similar issue. Thanks in advance.

Sounds similar. It's more like my wallpaper is trying to recenter when unlocked. I have tried the same backgrounds still the problem.
I got my SGN2 from wirefly.com.
Was hoping it wasn't some quality issue

Wallpaper issue I'm having...

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?

Update Auto Rotation Bug? Sticks in portrait

Update,
It is caused by many different apps, all very useful.
Cycling recent apps ( square key) frees up landscape.
Annoying behavior, a power button screen cycle resets. Anyone else notice this?
It happens in different apps. VZW phone on latest FW.
BTW I am trying to find a rotation helper app that can force 0* and 90* rotation only. Not 270* while 180* is normally excluded. Anyone?
This is missing the mark.
About security on Lenovo phones.
Note the comments
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016...-will-not-commit-to-monthly-security-patches/
I think it is an incompatibility with many apps.
@aviwdoowks Did you make any progress in getting better screen rotation response? I was using NOVA launcher, and found I hadnt checked off "auto-rotate" under the NOVA settings.

I like notification toggles. It and others do not allow 0* and 90* only auto. But on the Z it is not such a bother as the Maxx.
The bug seems to be nearly all gone. ... I did take the Dec patch. Now I have OTA disabled, on my dash 1
Look at pic, I think it is my favorite UC browser causing the stick!
I Doooo not want to uninstall it.

Three little "problems" I found using the OnePlus 5T

Hey guys,
while I'm extremely happy with the phone (awesome screen, perfect fingerprint location IMO, general form factor), I've come across three little problems:
1.) The biggest "flaw": Using another launcher / wallpaper than the stock one causes the face-unlock to be slower. And if you set another launcher / wallpaper, there will be a noticeable delay when you turn on the screen: The wallpaper will take longer to appear on the screen than everything else.
2.) The time between hitting the power button on the right / using the double-tap-to-wake feature and the screen actually turning on is almost a second. Coming from the 3T btw, where it almost felt instant.
3.) I'm not sure whether it's a flaw but it's just something that looks strange: The greyish navbar when using a dark-themed app. (I wouldn't really call this a problem, it's just a consistency flaw you notice, while operating the phone.
So first of all: Do you have the same impressions? It might very well just be my phone and you don't encounter these problems. But in another thread I already read about the face-unlock time taking longer, when using another launcher / wallpaper.
Thanks in advance for any replies and experiences!

There's an app in the play store called Navbar Apps which can fix the navbar colour issue. Doesn't even need root!

Thanks Lum_UK, but I already tried that one. I find it to be a bit slow in overlaying the "correct" color, i.e. the overlay isn't always there from the beginning when opening an app.
And I'm not interested in rooting anymore.
You can force it to just black in that app, which may be preferable to the grey, and avoids the delay issue.
Otherwise, probably not much you can do unless a future OOS adds new options.
Use gallery to set ur wallpapers, do lockscreen 1st then homescreen, don't do both. Using Action Launcher

What launcher r u using
So far I tried Nova, Lawnchair and the stock launcher. I'm encountering this problem with Nova and Lawnchair, not with the stock one. But if I set a custom wallpaper in the stock launcher, the wallpaper-appearing-delay is also there.

#2 is because of face unlock. Disable it and it will be instant.
Personally i use ambient display + lift up display so when i pick the phone i can see the clock and if needed, the double tap to wake in that screen is instant too

You can turn off the animation in Navbar Apps as well. That way the correct color will load much faster.
I don't use Face Unlock, but everything turns on instantly for me.
However, the nav bar color oscuro the worst and I can't wait to get back to a good AOSP firmware. OxygenOS is great and all but missing very important features I just can't live (comfortably) without.

You're right! This means bye-bye then to face unlock, unless this is fixed. I'm using smart lock anyway. :good:
Thank you for all your replies so far! They really were helpful!
Now could you still say something about "problem" #1? Do you observe the same or is it different? So if you use another launcher / wallpaper, will the wallpaper take longer to load then everything else?
1. agreed, same exact issue here.
2. i dont have that issue. both FP and FU are pretty much instant. sounds strange. maybe factory reset is really the way to go.
3. yea i agree, not optimal.
Hey guys,
I just wanted to give a heads up to you: I just discovered how to avoid the 'wallpaper-lag' while turning the screen on when using a non-stock wallpaper or non-stock launcher:
1. Force stop the OnePlus launcher.
2. Uninstall any updates to it.
3. Use the launcher you like. (Tested with lawnchairs and Nova)
At least for me, the wallpaper lag is gone!

For 1) and 2) : Did you force stop the oneplus launcher? No lag here..

For me this doesn't solve the problem. If the wallpaper is set through another launcher (Nova in my case) and if I use Nova, when using face unlock, i first see the lock screen for some split seconds and then it unlocks. If the lockscreen wallpaper is set through the OnePlus launcher itself, it skips the split seconds on the lockscreen completely and goes directly onto the homescreen which feels much more instantaneous. Also if I'm using a live wallpaper, like the nice new Pixel wallpapers which I wanted to use, the problem occurs even when setting the wallpaper through the OnePlus launcher and when using OnePlus launcher itself.
I've uninstalled the OnePlus launcher updates and tried to force stop it (although this wasn't possible as it seemingly wasn't even started to begin with), but nothing changed.
And yes, the wallpaper will often times take longer to appear on the screen than everything else, exactly like Dimitry from Hardware Canucks demoed in his review:
https://youtu.be/Kf93Nz_bgFs?t=7m48s
This looks very glitchy in my opinion but is of course rather nitpicky.
And as Sangraphim said, the time between hitting the power button on the right / using the double-tap-to-wake feature and the screen actually turning on is definetly prolonged when using face unlock - but that's probably by design I guess, because it starts the front camera first and waits a bit to detect a face before actually turning on the screen.
