No pop up menu for apps after long press Note 8 - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hi. On my note 8, I can't use long press on icons to get the list with shortcuts, like a 3d touch on an iPhone. With nova launcher it worked , but does not any more . If I long press on an icon, it thinks I want to move it or delete it. Animation scale in develop. options is set to 0.5 and changing its value does not solve the problem. I use Samsung launcher.
Thanks for the help.

Just to confirm, is that the Animator duration scale? there are 3 different animation scales, that is the one that cannot be turned off.

All 3 of them are set to 0.5
I have tried turning them off and back on and nothing helps.

I never had an issue but did hear if you leave those settings at 0 the problem would appear. I have Nova Prime, which launcher are you using? Did you replace the OEM firmware? Do you have any other software which manipulates gestures or touch on the screen that might be interfering? Try setting them to 1 and then rebooting?

I use TW launcher. There is no other launcher on my phone right now. Only from Samsung. I have tried what you said but the problem is still there...

Adding widgets to the lock screen

I have enabled widgets on the lock screen (Settings > Security...). From time to time I can see a big + (plus) sign on the lock screen, and by tapping it I am able to pick up a widget. After unlocking and locking again, the widget is gone and there is no plus sign anymore.
Does someone know what causes the plus sign to show up or how to revoke it?

The + sign is showed when you swipe left or right starting from the upper right or left corner of the screen.
I don't know for the rest of your problem, sorry ^^
Widgets don't disappear, they're just on another screen of your lockscreen. Swipe left or right around your clock and widgets you added will show. It's stupid, and it takes more than one try at first, but it is what it is.
You are both right. Now it works, but it is kind of useless.
Thanks anyway.

Custom Launcher bug in emui

Several times a day I had the error where swipe up gesture would get stuck showing the apps and the X and couldn't respond.
Changed to MS and don't have the issue.
I had it both with Nova as a fresh setup and restore from a backup, not sure what else to try to resolve it so changed launcher for now.

Was this the standard swipe up to open app drawer or a gesture you had assigned?

Standard swipe, only additional things I have is swipe up on folders to open certain apps so everything is based on EMUI gestures.

Strange. I use the exact same set up with no problems at all.
Do you use gestures it on screen buttons for your phones navigation?

Ah now I know what you're on about. Yes I get that sometimes, I just swipe back. It's hard to replicate and so infrequent I never put it down to just Nova even when I use Smart Launcher. I'll have to have a play then see if Kevin can't figure out the problem. Having said that in hoping to be on EMUI 10 soon. 7
Guys are you talking about something like this?
When i slide it for recent apps screen, right before showing apps preview, a plain white preview also shown.
So its seems like it flashes, not every time but mostly and its annoying. (There is video inside rar.)

Yes but also the animation of app switching. Like when you swipe for switching app, unlike in stock launcher where there is a transition to app switcher.

I think, i didnt notice the problem with swipe, but even if i disable Nova Launcher and return back Emui, i have still the problem that i mention.
Probably its not caused because of 3.party launcher at least in my case, something else causing that.
Hi guys,
I have a same Bug. I found temporary solution in dev mode. I had all animations to value "0". I changed it to 0,5 and Bug dissappear.

Minimizing call screen - no root - Asus Rog Phone II

Just got this phone yesterday and noticed that I can't do anything while receiving a call, there is an "always on top" screen that won't go away by pressing any of the buttons until you hang up. This is really annoying since it completely disables the phone. Let says you are driving using google maps and somebody calls you, you will miss your exit for sure, or you want to check a text while talking on the phone, not possible... Already tried to disable the phone notifications, as well as trying all the available options ( for notifications), also tried with other phone apps and with SystemUI Tuner app all with no success.
Is anybody else having this issue? I'm happy to provide any info you guys might need as well as do any test. Currently using Nova launcher,
Android version 9,
Security patch Jun 5 2019.
Software info WW_16.0622.1906.19_0
Extension ROM 1.1.93
Maybe because of Nova Launcher. It is actually kinda weird. What firmware is installed on your ROG Phone 2?
I'm also on WW_16.0622.1906.19_0 and when I'm in a call I can just go home or use recent apps while in a call, mine looks like this, note the green bar at the top of the Play store screenshot.
I also use Nova launcher.

Nothing happens in mine when I press the home or recent apps while in the call screen, I can drag the top menu but that's about it, in this menu even if I press the little gear to go to settings it opens it in the background and once the call is over that will be the first screen that I can see. But somehow the call screen is always on top. On this phone I can't get the green bar, I'm used to it from all my other past android phones, but not on this one.
Any ideas?

Question Bug with 3rd party launchers on OneUI 3.1 (default version)

As seen here, this is the most annoying bug on the phone now...
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyTab/comments/l3wnhr
This is for people on One UI 3.1 using third party launchers. You might come across a bug where:
1.The launcher keeps stopping/force closing or
2. Exiting an app causes the screen to flash and does nothing if you touch the screen immediately after.
Any fixes or workarounds?
I've had this issue with Nova Launcher and my S21 Ultra. Haven't found a permanent fix for it as yet.
thats weird I have had my s21 ultra since 5 pm yesterday, thats the first thing I did was download Nova, that's all i use, and have not had any issues with what you guys are having.

I believe we (AUS) owners are one firmware release behind (I'm on AUA4 with a build date of early Jan where the latest is AUAC with a build date later in Jan) so perhaps it's been fixed in the latest release?
If I use the Samsung gestures (swipe up from the bottom), Fluid Navigation gestures doesn't actually prevent those gestures from working for some reason (even after running the ADB command needed)

Yes these bugs are unacceptable
I have this issue as well where swiping up to go home causes the screen to flash and become unresponsive for a second or so. It only happens with gesture navigation and a 3rd party launcher.
I'm on the update release January the 1st. Is there a chance this is fixed in an update already available in part of the world?
Never mind I already have AUAC. that does not fix it. We may need to report this bug to Samsung. Has anyone done that? Chances are a fix is coming since they did fix the rest of the issues that were on earlier oneui versions for gestures in 3rd party launchers.
Did anyone confirm this happens in all 3rd party launchers and not just Nova?

Are you using gesture navigation? AFAIK it only affects the home gesture. Use Nova, launch an app. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to go home and immediately after, try tapping an icon on the launcher screen to launch another app. You notice no unresponsive issue here?

I'm on UAC since yesterday evening but this issue only happened when I first got the phone on Monday. I went into Nova settings and set it as default launcher. Since then no issues at all.

That's interesting. Exynos version? I wonder what causes some of us (most?) to experience it but not you. I've set Nova as default in the system settings, not in Nova, but that should produce the same effect. Did you do anything else between the non working and the working state?
By Samsung swipe up, do you mean swipe up from the bottom in 3 different places rather than swiping screen left and right edges to go back? I use the version where you swipe left and right edges for back. Is that it perhaps?

Yes exynos. India variant. And yes for your last question too. I prefer the swipe up gestures because using the side swipe with a case I couldn't get it to work reliably.
I'm sorry I couldn't find the setting for this in the settings menu so when I first experienced this issue I simply set nova as default through its own settings.
Also I had used smartswitch cable transfer to migrate all data apps and settings over from the S20+

Oh I saw just now that this is already stated in the top post. I couldn't see the quoted area on my mobile, now I see it. The bug is only present with google gestures and there's a hint on how to bypass the problem with one hand +, I'll try that now.

yeah I`m old school and just use the buttons at the bottom, I don`t care for navigation gestures, that would explain why I don`t have the issues, lol

Thanks for this thread, this was driving me crazy, i tried Action Launcher, Niagra, Smart Launcher and they all have the stutter when you return to then home screen when using android 11 gestures. Samsung gestures fixes but my muscle memory is to swipe from the sides for back so i'm struggling with it. Currently back to the One UI launcher to be able to use android gestures seamlessly. Hoping for a fix to this in future updates to OneUI but doubtful!

Use one handed operations+ from play/galaxy store. I hated android 11 swipe from left to go back, because I'm used to open menu in many apps from the left side and now it was going back, with oho+ i have swipe back from right and normal left side without any commands, also that app is OP so you can customise it even more
Wrong alert, still not solving the gesture when you swipe from south to north (down to u

Fantastic, this does the job perfectly, if you were here I'd hug you right now
Does not solve the gesture usage on the bottom.

Question Origin OS launcher and icons ?

Hey guys,
So I just got myself a Vivo X Fold and I'm loving it. The OS feels so good but I was wondering if there was a way to change the icons ? Or even the launcher ? I can install other launchers but somehow can't find a way to set it to default. When I go back home it's still the stock launcher. I wouldn't mind it if I could change the icons but yeah.
Any help would be appreciated !
Thanks and have a nice day.
no and no.. no need to thank me, follow me for more tips.
This option only appears if you have created and signed into your Vivo account:
Go to Settings / Privacy / More Security Settings and toggle "allow alternative launcher". Make sure you go into the privileges for the new launcher and set it to autostart and go into battery and set it for high battery usage.
Hi, i just tried to do that with the launcher, what frcraig said, and it still goes back to the factory launcher. I created vivo account, logged in, allowed alternative launcher, set nova as default launcher and applied the battery savings settings, autostart, etc. Any other ideas?
actually i just went back in and unselected tap the home button to lock the system home screen and now it works!

What alternative launchers out there support two separate screen layouts?
Or... like the stock Vivo launcher, show only one-half of the unfolded screen on the external one.

Total Launcher is a good choice. Supports two separate home screens and you can customize everything...
