Hello, after latest update i get ControlPanel crashing. Anyone else? This is control panel that comes when you fold the phone on half and use bottom half for the controls on video
ps: Someone on reddit told me if i have 3d dynamic wallpaper. And this was the problem lol, i cant believe this
Any specific app? Cause I was just using it yesterday on MLB.tv with no issues.
Also, what model ZF3 are you using?

Control panel? What does that mean? There's an application or software on Samsung/Android devices called "control panel?”

I kept getting system UI errors in Dex. Did a fresh install, no issues. Started uninstalling the usual stuff through the adb app and after again issues. Did a fresh install again and decided to disable the system apps instead of uninstalling them and there were no issues. My thought is that my issue was related to what shown in the settings app as I usually uninstall digital wellbeing and tips and these options would be gone from the settings, now when they are disabled they still show but dont react when pressed.
Do you still have shortcuts of one of the apps you uninstalled/disabled in the control panel?

Several new apps showed up in the Samsung Zone last night:
Video Call
Basically what it sounds like, a 3G-based video calling app. Unfortunately, it apparently requires a FFC, so all it does on the Focus is display an error message and quit.
RSS Times
A pretty nice Google Reader app
AllShare
Samsung's DLNA media sharing app. But again, on the Focus all it does is display a "not supported" error and quit.
FunShot
An interesting-looking (haven't played with it yet) photo editor with some "funky" effects.
MiniDiary
A diary app with text, voice, drawing and photo support.
I'd have thought OEMs would be allowed to only target certain devices for their apps, so either they can't and theyre for the omnia w (etc) or we might be inline for some driver updates...
I use Minidiary which is a good app... we cannot use vedio call app but i think its prety amazing specially cos we can make vedio calls to iphone and android phones even if they dont have this app...
i want to upgrade to omnia W phone, but i will loose all my texts and have to unlock all levels again from begining in my xbox games.. which is the only thing preventing me from switching phones..
There is also an Advanced Text Message app if you tap on "more from Samsung.." but it doesn't work either.
They should let the video call app work on phones with no ffc. At least we can see the other person or we might use a mirror.
Working dlna would have been very good.

I can't see that one on my Focus, but I do see the new high fidelity positioning app, which is the first new app from Samsung that installs into the settings screen. It has two settings, one that increases GPS accuracy by using other sensors such as accelerometer and compass, and one that enables use of GLONASS (for users in Russia).

I downloaded that app. Interesting how it installs itself in your settings. My question is, what if we want to uninstall it? How do we? Holding it down doesnt give us the option.

if you can sideload the xap this worked for me.
get XAPDeployX.exe
load Zune and have phone plugged into USB
start XAPDeployX.exe
load the app you want to remove from settings page
check options "force uninstall if application is already installed"
click deploy. at some point XAPDeployX will tell you that it found and successfully uninstalled the existing application.
right then you unplug the phone, just in time before it installs the new one.
voila, the app is gone from settings.

There is really no need to uninstall it. It takes up very little space, and if neither option is turned on, it does nothing.

Oh, I am. OCD is my life . I just look at it as Samsung providing an app to install a Mango setting that didn't make it through development in time for the official Mango update. In other words, if the setting had been part of the Mango firmware update, there would be no way to "uninstall" it without uninstalling Mango, right?
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the setting is automatically included in future Samsung firmware updates.

Huh?! No idea what you're talking about!
Pretty simple really, I successfully installed 8.1 RTM, everything's working just fine but my gamer avatar on the Xbox live app seems to have vanished since 8.1 was installed! All my gamer tag details are there and correct but there just a space where an avatar should be..
Can anyone tell me how to get it back please?
Uninstall and reinstall the app?

Ook, I found it and installed it but this time, the entire panel with the avatar is missing!
The 'old' one had the light coloured panel next to the Gamer tag / edit profile / share profile etc..
Not sure what to do now.
Close the app (drag from the top of screen and throw the app off of the bottom of the screen) and re-launch it. Verify that your WiFi is working and that the app says that you're signed in. Check that you can access your account from Settings->Account in the app. Try toggling avatars off and then on again under Settings->Preferences. Reboot the tablet. Try uninstalling and re-installing the app one more time. Try refreshing Windows (under Settings->Change PC Settings->Update and recovery->Recovery). Give it a day or so to see if it resolves itself.
If all else fails, consider re-installing Windows, either by choosing Settings->Change PC Settings->Update and recovery->Recovery->"Remove everything and re-install Windows" or running Setup.exe again and, this time, choosing "Keep Nothing." A couple of other people have reported similar minor issues after upgrading that clean installations resolved.

Thanks but I don't see a "Preferences" option in the settings in the app. Am I missing something?
All I see in settings are:
Account
About
Feedback
Permissions
Rate and Review

We're talking about the "Games" app, the one with the green tile with the icon of an Xbox controller, right? I have a Preferences option there (just double-checked). I'm just using the version that came with 8.1. Maybe it and the store app aren't the same version.
I refreshed the OS install and everything's back to normal. I guess the games app in the store is an older version!
One thing I noticed was that there's no way to edit the avatar. I was sure that read a review of 8.1 that showed someone editing their avatar on the tablet but I guess I must have been mistaken.
Hi all,
Has anyone experienced this with B506? Some apps like Telegram or WeChat get closed in the background just after a few seconds and then if someone messages me I don't receive the notification until I actually open the app (which completely defeats the purpose of the notification...).
Is this just a problem with my phone or has anyone else experienced this?
I know it's the app that's getting somehow closed because every time I start for example, Facebook or WeChat, I see the splash screen (which is only shown the first time an app is started).
Thanks for any help!
Are you allowing it to run in the background, and allowing it to startup at boot?

That's the thing, ever since I flashed B506 I lost that setting in the menu where we had the security options and could choose what runs in the background and what doesn't... I thought this was removed by Huawei on purpose. Do you still have it?

Yes, I still have it, and you should too.
Do you have the Phone Manager app? All the options are there.
In settings, Protected apps is the setting for the background apps.

Ugh, I'm so stupid! I froze the Phone Manager app (as well as a bunch of other Huawei apps) without realizing this one is actually needed.
Thanks! It works now!

I'm using huawei 4c and I'm facing similar problem, download app is continuously running in background even i closed it in background protected apps please help cox it's using alot of battery thanks in advance
If this is in the wrong thread then please move to correct one.
Has anyone else had issues with this... I'll call it problem, but by the way it behaves, it seems more like its a bug.
It has only been something I've seen on Marshmallow. Try to install an app, and its 50/50 whether or not you get "screen overlay detected"
Try to give an app permission, "screen overlay detected".
I should also point out that it isnt just restricted to HTC. My partners (now apparently ticking time bomb) s7 has also had the issue
You can disable as many screen overlays as you like, it still doesnt go away.
I've noticed now, too, that anytime a chat head from facebook messenger is on screen when I try to do something like install an app, it will spit out that problem until I close the chat head. Which was never an issue, ever, before.
Where has this thing come from and why is it even a problem for Android?
Those chat heads on the messenger as well as light filters, as e.g. CF.lumen, are always screen overlays. Those overlays could read out the whole screen, and thus as well what you're typing into banking apps or similar. Thus Google updated the privacy policy of their devices in Marshmallow, ending up in this specific error message. Sometimes it's enough to just turn the screen overlay of via settings > apps, regarding Apps like FB Messenger, CF.lumen, and the like, on other times and Apps you got to reboot the device after done so, or disable the overlay within the Apps settings as well, and seldomly you got to uninstall such an App to get the problem sorted for the time being. At least that's what I could find out searching the web.

It's so malicious apps don't replace the install button with something else (like an install button to install something else).
It's quite clever if you think about it.

In theory I would say it's clever. In practice, it doesn't distinguish between safe apps that are harmless and those that aren't.

How does the system know if an app is safe or not..?

Since Facebook messenger (and pretty much all my apps, most of which don't even have screen overlays but are in the list for it) was downloaded from Google play, I would imagine it isn't difficult to implement a system that flags it as safe.
If an app is installed via an apk, even if it is safe, I would understand more the need for concern. You never know, etc.

It would be difficult to implement a system like that. You never know which app is fake or real. Maybe it was a modified version of the app, you'll never know.
Either way, the feature is there and if you want to install an app just quickly turn off your overlay. Not exactly a big problem.

If you are like me, you hate the all white of default Sammy N because it's obnoxious and straining. I have figured out how to apply purchased themes to the N beta. I was not able to purchase new ones either. I would get an error, even if I had the links.
Go to the Galaxy Apps store and select Categories. At the top of that page there will be a themes banner. Click on that, then go to the three dots at the top. Hit "My Page" then "Purchased". Your themes should be there, and you'll be able to download and apply them.
*Added screenshots in second post. The full site corrupted the pics and the mobile app wouldn't let me add in an edit.*
Screenshots if you're confused
The Galaxy Apps Store shows that it is installed, but I can't access it. Am I missing something? I don't have anything disabled.
I realized I can do this through Samsung Themes without having to go through the Galaxy Apps Store. Thanks!!!
Anyone else have issues with Ultra Powersaving Mode? I disabled it and after resetting my phone everything was blown up out of proportion, wallpaper reverted, quick toggles reverted, and several other setting reverts. Had a theme installed so it may be related during restoring theme.

I had that issue at first as well. The App store automagically appeared somehow. Going through themes should work, but I bet an error every time I try to do it through settings.

Yes free themes show up in your purchased library if you have downloaded them before.
