Note 8 stock gallery photo effects - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Just noticed when I try to use effects like Vignette, stardust etc in the gallery app that there is no adjustment bar for the effects intensity. I'm sure in previous models they were present.
Just wondering , did I overlook something?

You're right, I thought maybe you could do the screen swipe thing...but I don't see anything also.

Pull down in full screen apps

On my note 2 (romed don't remember about stock) I could bring the pull down at anytime even in 3d full screen apps. I noticed this is not possible with my one. Aside from installing status bar app, is this a known limitation? It's bugging the crap out of me. Thanks.

I'm able to pull down my notification screen while in apps. What ROM are you running?

I wouldn't call it a limitation... It just doesn't do it.. So yeah in a way I guess limitation is about right.

I am running Renovate latest build. I have the same "issue" on Viperboy's rom. I can do it in apps just not full screen ones.

Yeah, some apps allow you to enable the notification bar while others do not in full screen. It would be nice to be able to do it though.
This is actually a FEATURE of Samsung apps. Literally the one and only thing I miss from my s3, I used it so much I considered not getting the One just for that reason.

Smart status bar in the play store brings the notification bar back by pulling down the top edge of the screen.

[Q] Blurred contact pictures

When I receive a notification of SMS/email, a picture of the contact appears behind the card, which is a nice feature. However, these pictures are always horribly blurred, whereas they appear clear on my phone. Is this a common behaviour or is it just my set-up? I do recall previously having issues on android with contact pics being blurred due to the way they synced between android phone/facebook/google so I am wondering if this is related.
Thanks
This is because it uses the picture that is in the notification. This picture is low resolution on the phone, hence it is low resolution on the watch.

Thanks - but the pictures are not low resolution on the phone as they look fine when there is a call etc and that is on a 1080p display. I think it is maybe because the watch is pulling the picture from the gmail contact (i.e. on google's cloud as opposed to my phone) which is why it is happening?
It's pulling the photo from the notification. Not the contact information.

Note 8 gallery opening and closing photo lag jank

Hi guys does anyone else have this issue?
I notice on my note 8 in the gallery app when u click a photo the animation is poor and has a stutter to open and close a photo. Scrolling within the app and switching between photos once opened is fine but if your just opening and closing photos it seems bad and stuttery.
I am not using a sd card.
Do you have developer options enabled?

Go into developer options, and go to the 3 Animation Scale settings. I dialed mine back to 0.5 and it increased the speed of animations

That makes no difference to the stutter when you open a photo in the gallery

Ah ok well... In the past I've downloaded 3rd party photo gallery apps that worked really well. Might take a look in the Play Store and try them out

I have the same issue. I noticed that after a phone reboot it works fine until the phone not rebooted for 140 hours or so then the issue appear again. This doesn't happen on my Tab S3 which been on for weeks now.
A simple fix would be a quick reboot every 4 days or so.
What gallery app everybody use? Quickpic seems the best so far.

How do I check pixel size of my pictures

I'm coming from an s7 edge. I have the s10 plus.
I can't seem to change the quality of the picture. I can do it with the video (from 4k to 720 p for both front and rear cameras, but I can't for the picture)
Does anyone know how to change the settings?
The only thing I see is when I take a picture on the screen on the left hand menu bar I can choose, 16:9, 1:1, 4:3, or full screen.
Does that affect the quality of the photo taken (in megapixels)?
I currently have it set on full screen, but on my old s7 edge, full screen would give you a lower pixel count, so I set it to 4:3. Should I do the same here?
Tap settings, rear picture size and click resolution.
It's not there.
Here are the options I have. (check attacment)
Doesn't say. You just get size of image.

Weird... So which one is the highest quality?
4:3?
Yes 4:3 is 12 mp,16:9 is 8 as per my knowledge

This was driving me crazy... Also coming from S7 edge... Always looking for the highest resolution, not sure why they would hide details like that and make things more convoluted...
It's in the quick menu now so easier to find

Can't highlight buttons like mouse on websites anymore !

The hand icon doesn't appear on websites while browsing and doesn't trigger drop down menu !! It works fine on my Note 8 running Pie but not Note 9
If anyone can let me know if it works with them before i factory reset it would be highly appreciated
Update:
Here is a video showing what I mean. Kindly note that all this happen without touching the screen only hovering the S-Pen. This doesn't happen on my Note 9! All I can do is scroll while hovering and no buttons will be triggered.

Can I have a screenshot on your Note8 to better understand what you want to achieve?

Although the video is unavailable, I now understand that you've a problem with S-Pen.
Is Air View turned on in S-Pen settings?
