[App] - Layar

Has anyone used an application alled "Layar"? BRILLIANT! What it does is find the nearest search result near you and display how far you are away from it.
For example, search Macdonalds and it will search for the nearest Macdonalds and show you on a map when you point the phone camera in that direction! Brilliant if you feel lost or just want to find somewhere!!! Give it ago from the apps market.

This app has been around ages, I never found a use for it though.
There is also plenty of other apps that do just that as well

I only just got a HTC Hero G2! So still gettin used to the apps e.t.c. I think if your somewhere you don't know then this app could come in really handy.

Seems to keep crashing on BeHero 1.3.2. you load a layar then it goes to the screen where you can see through the camera and then jumps back to the layar selection screen after about 5 seconds - anyone else got that problem?

+1 on BeHero for me aswell, tested on another ROM and all was good.

using the neo rom 2.0 and it seems to crash on me as well...just me or ???

lol @ u all for having modified roms.

Layar doesn't work on the Legend (see here), so I suspect if you're using a ROM based on the Legend ROM, you'll have the same issue.

Most just cool but not useful until I recently found a layer for UK Postboxs - exact locations and when last pickup is.

can anyone confirm if this works anywhere internationally and not just uk?

[Q] Screen shaking

Hi All,
I am very new to galaxy tab.
I am running on official gingerbread, flashed following the guidelines on the site. Other than a checksum error it went smoothly and working just fine.
I have another problem though. When I hold it in portrait mode, trying to move up and down with my finger causes the screen to shake.
Somerimes more sonetines a little less but it is always there.
In landscaepe mode it almost does not exist, working smooth.
I tried doing a lot of search but could.not find anything on it.
unfortunately I did not pay attenrion if it was hapening on stock froyo, did not stay on that long enough.
Charging or not does not affect it.
Being suspicious about screen protector I rwmoved it but no change
Did anyone else experience anyrhing similar?
Thanks in advance for help.

Same problem here
Hi, I have the same problem here, I did woked on froyo for about a day or two, and the problem was not there, I upgraded to Overcome 2.0 and the problem is now there.
Similar to you, on landscape the problem is less evident, but still there.
In my case, on you-tube application, I don't have any shacking.
I hope someone finds a solution, problem seems to be software-based.

I just checked it, you are right, youtube does not present the same problem.
Lets hope for a solution from the experts.
Cheers

anyone?
this shaking is driving me nuts......the screen shakes so much when held down down that it pretty much renders google maps unuseable.
HELP PLEASE!!!
is it a screen sensitivity issue that we can tweak or something?
i've been googling for a month for answers now but no luck...
please please...

Similar topic in XDA
Hi guys, there is a similar topic here in XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14354988&posted=1#post14354988
I have the same problem in my Galaxy Tab, and I show in a page in fgfaria.com
I now suspect it may be a deffect in some specific feature in some library used by some apps and not used in other apps.
I installed Android SDK in my PC, and created an simple app following a tutorial, with a list of countries that can be scrolled up and down. In this very simple app, the problem doesn't happen, just like youtube.
I've found an app that could potentially solve the problem, but my GT is not rooted, and can't use it. It's called "ILITEK Touch Utility" and it's available for free in Android Market.
Let me know if it's useful for any of you.

Fabio

My tab does exactly the same thing as per your weblink.
The app i have download but once i hit the calibrate button, I somehow get denied access.
Any way around it? This shaking is getting old......sigh

Software, not hardware
Hi all,
In addition to touch test apps and youtube app, there are some other apps that don't present the problem. One specific interesting case is the one of the HelloListView tutorial presented in Android Developers website.
I've followed the tutorial, and created this illustrative app that just creates a list and allows you to scroll up and down. This specific app doesn't present the problem we've been discussing. I've made it available for download as apk file in the end of that same testing page (fgfaria.com)
That application being so simple and not presenting the problem, and the other apps that also don't present it, makes me think that the problem may appear when some specific library gets included in an app. Possibly something related to hardware acceleration, for example (just guessing, no specific reasons to believe that).
If only we could isolate the cause of the problem, we could notify Google and/or Samsung and influence a new patch release.
This is as far as I have gone so far. Ideas, reactions?
Regards,
Fabio

Hi Chris, I believe the denied access is because the GT is not rooted. The app must need access to pretty low level adjustments, and only rooting the device would make that possible.
I have the same messages in my GT, but rooting is kind of my last option to solve this.
My current options are:
1) Wait for an official Gingerbread update
2) If that doesn't solve, I'll contact my factory warranty
3) If they deny this is a problem, or if they can't fix it, I'll try rooting and using this app
While the first option is not available, I'll continue my search for another fix.
Cheers,
Fabio

Another possible explanation for the problem not happening in the app from the tutorial is that libraries being used include some kind of filter not used in problematic apps...

mine shakes but not noticable,.. i didn't notice this on froyo

Hi,
Thank you all for responses. I have been searching too but did not find anything.
However I have a theory.
The screen shaking phenomenon does not happen (or unnoticably little) when you are on a dark screen. Web browser included.
Is this your observation too?
Cheers

mine do shake even if its dark, originally i found this "bug" couple of days ago, when im in bed late at night, i initially thought that the shaking was via my finger, and was surprised to see this post a while ago

Note: My tab is rooted because I'm currently running the Overcome 2.0 RC1 rom.
*major headache *

Fully agree! Mine shakes only in light background! Same problem, but in this case, it looks more like a hardware issue than software (intuitively, at least, hardware is more likely to be affected by screen luminosity than software). The solution though, could be a software filter of fast screen movements...

Anyone? There is a solution for Galaxy S (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844216&page=3#). There must be a solution for Galaxy Tab 7 too...

Hi everyone,
Is the same problem happening in the new 2.3.3 asia roms?
Do you have any experience?

List of common problems with Galaxy tab S 10.5

Hi
I am researching about this tablet (galaxy tab s 10.5). What problems have you experienced? or what big common problems the community has with it?
From now I know:
1. lag (a lot of people, with some apps)
2. battery (just a few)
anything else? how about the memory issues or any other thing?
thanks

Indeed lag in chrome. And also that some apps or games may not work due to the 2k screen resolution ( not a lot)

If you are rooted, look at my stock rom, almost all lags are gone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/prerooted-stock-touchwiz-rom-t2973107

1. Lag in apps like chrome (only some).
2. Aura screen defect ( when screens have greenish color on black image.)
3. Bump in on back cover(seems to be fixed on new models)
4. Overheating near camera( when playing large apps).
5. SD read and write problems(kitkat issues. Can be fixed by rooting)
6. Touchwiz launcher lag. ( can be fixed by debloating and installing nova launcher)
7. Latest twrp recovery bootloop. ( crashes and bootloops when restoring rom . Version 8.3.1.0 or some sort.

System UI crashes when casting to chromecast

I didnt knew at all about the Aura screen defect. I read the opposit, that everything about the screen is really good and black is really black

Some batches of tablets had messed up amoled screens. If it doesn't show complete black on a black image then that's how you know. Only happens to a few numbers of amoled tablets/phones.

This was fixed in newer firmware.
The only issue is typical Samsung running too much software all the time and just needs to be tweaked accordingly.

I bought two and they both have the non uniformity problem. Either I'm unlucky or it's more than a few.

the lag in chrome is due to java script. Disable it, lag is gone.

Unfortunaately this update doesnt seem to have been released in the UK yet.
I check for updates every single day. But nothing.
Even the samMobile website does not show a UK version of the latest firmware.

and how you can check fastly about the non uniformity problem with black??
I mean, if you go to a shop, how you can check it easyly before buying? just take a pic in black and watch it?
or there is any other way to check it maybe with the serial number or something? so you can buy on the internet

Taking a picture in full black can do it and see if there are any other colors that is not black. I got mine from Walmart online and no problems so far. If you buy it in store from bestbuy, you should open the box and check first.

Open anything is black or dark grey and ask the shop that have store room, close all light and check inside.

^^^ it'll not show on black because all the pixels just turn off. You need a dark gray screen.
I don't see how you can check it in the store. Looking at the demo unit will tell you nothing definitively. Also, I don't think it's reasonable to ask a department store to turn off the lights for you You just have to find a store with decent return policy.

which firmware my 10.5lte still crashes when i pull down the notification panel?

I have none of those problems, like lag in Chrome (my Chrome is the snappiest of browsers, so smooth) or battery (battery is just damn amazing, 12h SoT watching videos).
But, my bluetooth stopped working randomly. Like, it won't ever turn on again, not even in safe mode. The icon becomes dark green for a couple seconds, then it gets grayed again.
I saw someone else with the same tablet having the same issue, but that's about it, no one else.

My one big gripe, and this really is more about Android than the S 10.5, is that there isn't ONE definitive web browser that does it ALL. It also seems that when I DO find a decent browser it's not very long before someone changes their forum software or the web page coding and then it just won't work as well or at all. I have actually given up trying to post on some forums with any Android web browser. They all now seem to have one problem or another with forum editors used for posting. Maybe, somehow Lollipop will fix this. Kinda doubt it though.

UI stuttering caused by accessibility permissions

The problem
Hi, I've been experiencing significant interface stuttering whenever an application has been granted accessibility permissions.
Video of the problem
Here is a video demonstrating the issue, read below for technical information: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFVKCx5zVmQ
Facts about the problem
Ok so here's what I know so far:
It doesn't matter which service you grant access to, it will lag the same. I've tried LMT, Swipe Navigation, LastPass, TalkBack, and a few more I can't even remember at the moment.
It doesn't matter what ROM or Kernel you are on. I've tried Euphoria with LK and Hydra, rooted stock with stock kernel and LK, and Benzo with whatever the default Benzo kernel is. Doesn't make a single difference.
It does not only affect Relay for Reddit comment collapsing. It also affect Google Newsstand's mini/big card transition, news source transitions, Google Now transitions, basically anywhere there is an animation in the OS I can notice the stuttering.
Anyone else experience this? Any ideas? It is driving me crazy.

I'm not experiencing that
I've used custom roms/kernels almost all of them in the development forum lol
I wonder if maybe it's a particular accessibility itself? I feel like since its needing to be authorized in accessibility that it might be conflicting with something else, who knows?
People usually try booting the phone into safe mode and seeing if maybes its a third party app?
Thats my 2 cents! Hopefully it helps

It has nothing to do with a specific accesibility from what I can feel, stuttering occurs regardless of the app.
I have full wiped several times to test and can't find a solution.
Does anyone else experience this or have any ideas?

Can anybody duplicate this?
Should I RMA?

I've done this when using LK/Hydra, but I am not running stock kernel. None of the adjustments made any noticeable difference unfortunately

I really hate to bump this but the video only has 16 views and I'd love someone else to confirm or deny the same behavior when granting an app accessibility permissions.
If this is common behavior I won't RMA, but if no one else can recreate this I'm going to.
Oh, another thing I noticed: you don't have to test it in an app like Relay for Reddit, you can also do it in the Chrome browser on a site that has a lot of information. What I've noticed is that, when accessibility is granted to any app, visiting XDA forums becomes almost unusable. It takes FOREVER to scroll and when I can scroll it is extremely choppy. Disable the accessibility permission? Completely solves the problem.

You are NOT crazy. I have been searching, seeing if anyone else had this problem. I am using a completely stock Nexus 6 (not rooted), and because of the screen size I have been tinkering with apps to help with one handed use (like pie controls, handy soft keys, etc). They also require accessibility to be enabled. Whenever I install them, I notice (about once every 6-7 times) that when I open my app drawer on Nova launcher, it will half freeze, half stutter. Most of the time it's fine, but once every few times it happens. I haven't paid too much higher attention to whether jt causes stuttering in other apps, but it drives me nuts and so I uninstall the app and go back to stretching my thumb to use the stock nav keys. Wish this would get fixed. Kind of unacceptable for a Nexus - that kind of stuttering is why I don't like using Samsung devices.

Here is the Swipe Navigation developer saying it is definitely a thing in Lollipop with accessibility settings. (screenshot from Play Store comments on Swipe Navigation app). I wish someone could figure this out - I guess we have to wait for Google to do that?

I am using PieControl Pro and I do believe it makes the animations in the Play story stutter when I open a page and use the back button to go back to the app overview. The Play store was never completely smooth no matter what, but when I disable accessibility for PieControl Pro, it becomes a little better. So yeah, accessibility does seem to affect UI performance. I'm on stock Android 5.1 with Franco Kernel.

Thank you! I was losing my mind tryingbto figure this out so I opened a support ticket with Google play store and the person who handled my case was able to reproduce it and has made a note of it (whether this means there's an official bug report or not I don't know). He also said this issue cannot be used to RMA, since it wouldn't do anything anyway.
Unless someone can confirm that they DO NOT have this issue.

Im using swipe navigation and I'm noticing stutter as well. Wonder why this happens. Took me a while to figure it out.

Would you mind pointing me to the Google page where you reported this? I would like to star it as well, and follow their updates.

As a follow up, today I decided to tinker around and install pie again. Since the Nova app drawer animation is what I always notice stuttering first, I decided to just turn Nova animations off. Then, I went into Android settings, developer options, and reduced the three animation settings to 0.5x. I may just be seeing what I want to see, but the UI hasn't seemed to stutter with Pie enabled in accessibility (yet). Going to try this for a day or two.

I've gotten the same issues with Lastpass.
Lastpass even states on their site that it's a lollipop issue.

Sorry if this counts as bringing up an old thread, although it's not THAT old
Anyway, I've come here just to corroborate all your findings and confirm that I am also experiencing this ugly bug. A few days ago I installed Greenify which, among other things, asked to enable Accessibility features for it. Thinking nothing of it I did as requested. Next day I start noticing some UI lagginess and choppiness, which was especially noticeable to me in Relay for Reddit since I use it a lot (too much for my own good in fact) and I distinctly remember it had very smooth scrolling between comments just a few days ago. In the mean time, I completely forget I've granted Greenify accessibility control so I went on a mission trying to fix this inexplainable, sudden UI choppiness, by trying to flash a different kernel, trying different governors, dirty flashing my ROM, trying all the other tweaks, and finally doing a factory reset and flashing the stock ROM all over again (luckly I did make a nandroid). Nothing helped. I was at my wits end when I tried searching the app's subreddit for anyone experiencing the same issue and found a comments saying accessibility features were to blame. I felt stupid for not researching it before. However, this bug is very insidious as it just creeps up on you, with no reason. I also don't know how can accessibility features affect UI smoothness this way.

Yes, hopefully will be fixed in M maybe? I haven't checked around to see if those who have installed M preview have checked to see if the bug has been fixed there. Fingers crossed.....

Not fixed in M. Everyone should go star the issue so it gets fixed!

Still isnt fixed ) But my lag rather appears when tapping on any app icon, then it highlights, then go lag, then opening animation starts.

Gallery Scrolling Bug [SOLVED]

Well Read the orig. Post for the back store and at bottom ive included the user who supplied the right awnser and resolved the issue;
Im kinda disappointed in the note 8's stock gallery and really just fed up with the lack of options here to get it working correctly.'
I was just going to keep my issue to myself until i check reviews under the Gallery app via Samsung and seen that its not just me effected by this annoying as H3LL scrolling bug.
Anyone who has a good amount of pictures should be able to re-create the bug themselves.
Pretty much in a nut shell if you open a ALBUM and slowly scroll down the entire screen shakes violently like its having a seizure.
I contacted the other Dev i work with and he wasn't able to duplicate but also doesn't have nearly as many photos on his device as I do.
This really just ruins the gallery for me personally whenever I try to show someone a beautiful photo this device takes and it just represents the entire phone like crap IMO. Let me know if you guys have the same issue and your thoughts behind this one,
and i'm sorry to anyone who finds the bug and annoys the h3ll out of them as well. I guess sometimes ignorance is bliss.

The remapping apps like Bixby remapper are causing the overlay issue with gallery for whatever reason. I feel a little bit silly now but atleast there is a response. Thank you everyone this made my day a ton better not having to deal with the darn shuttering gallery!

To point out you ususally have to be scrolling near the top half of the screen to cause it but it's done it to me at all locations on the screen randomly. Just slowly drag up (to scroll down through your photos inside a album) and near the top it will start to shutter heavily and if you stop scrolling and just leave finger on screen it just shakes like a earthquake.. ughh.. contacting Samsung today for a resolution time frame here. Just super annoyed at this point.
And yes I fully wiped my device and restored with the stock Odin img as well to fully verify it wasn't a app or defect in the Initial install.

I have seen it on youtube, I have more than 30 albums with up to 900 pictures each on SD card and so far I have not been able to reproduce it and I tried for good few min. Actually it is surprisingly smooth and extremely fast considering it is reading from 256 GB Samsung Evo SD card.

I cannot reproduce this bug. Glad I don't have it.

I'm gonna test some more.. looks like bbr is gonna have to stay gone. Great catch man. I will move your awnser to the op and change the info to direct towards this as well to help others!
So glad its simple as this... I tested without apps and it worked fine but once I let smart switch restore and my gallery app updated it came back. I guess I should have done more testing!

i would def agree. Glad you took the time to supply the much appreciated answer. I've also added this info to Samsung site to help other users.
sadly Samsung probably knows its there and intended it to be there to make you not re-map the button. Grr.. they should allow remapping to whatever app you wish!

Weird. I don't have this issue, have bxactions installed, have >26xx images on my SD card.

I had the bug, Samsung 256 GB sdcard and over 5,000 pics and videos. I did have a Bixby remap installed...uninstalled the app, reset cache on the gallery, no issues so far. the stutter would accur no matter my scrolling location. I will further test to see if the stutter comes back

Interesting. There was another thread unrelated to this but was causing lag and stutter issues. The culprit: a bixby remapper app.
Perhaps once Sammy releases an OTA (since the official device release date is near) this may fine a lot of little bugs (for example, some are having issues posting videos to instagram)...

Do you have Bixby Button Remapper installed (or similar app)? I saw in another forum a user had this same issue and turned out that app was the culprit.

omfg THANK you. I thought I was the only one going through this as I haven't been able to find anyone else experiencing this until today. And then I nearly ordered a warranty replacement when I read the top post and saw that no one else was able to recreate the bug. It's a good thing I kept scrolling through and reading more comments. If I had done a warranty exchange, I would have just kept experiencing the same issue, never knowing that it was the Bixby Remapper causing the issue

My sd card will arrive in a few days, so all internal. I didn't have a lot of pictures (below 500). One of the first things I did was to install Bixby Remapper, so from my point of few, the bug there from the beginning. Removed it, seems to be working normally. Bought my Note8 from T-Mobile Austria.
Thank you for the solution.

Whew i was wondering what was up & was waiting to the next update in hope that it would be fixed. I never knew until i read hear that it was down to Button remapping.....:good: thanks for making this post (Very annoying issue resolved) helpful indeed....:good:
