Landscape mode does not work on my Note 9 - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with "Portrait mode only" settings. After I turned OFF "Portrait mode only" setting, my phone is NOT able to rotate to Landscape mode.
I already tried to reboot my phone after changed the setting.
Can everyone help me on this situation? Thanks.

You can try to:
A) clear data/cache for the launcher (beware, this will restart the launcher as it's new unset one = all shortcuts removed!)
B) from the apps menu, select the launcher and "uninstall updates" that will revert it to the one it was shipped with. Then you will update the application to the newest version via playstore. This will also restart the launcher
Also be sure that autorotation is on, I am pretty sure you already checked that, but to point it out anyway.
Edit: Also, welcome to the XDA community!

Thanks, high_voltage.
I just tried your suggestion A. It still doesn't work. For your suggestion B, I am not able to uninstall the update of the Launcher. I am using "Samsung Experience Home" version 9.0.12.4. I think it is the latest version as I see the text "The latest version is already installed" in About menu.

Rotation works otherwise, right?
Really strange. Reset will fix it for sure, but outside of that I am out of ideas what to try. Mine works and see for the first time someone complaing for this. Software update if any is also worth a shot.

Thank you so much. I just cleared cache/data of the launcher again and now it works.

[Q] Galaxy Tab Market Not Working?

After having installed Overcome (Kratos) on my Galaxy Tab, I noticed that the Android Market was not working properly. When I try to open the application, it says "You must add an account to the device to continue. Do you want to add one now?", and exits the application, whether I choose Yes or No. My question is; is this a problem with Overcome or a problem with my Galaxy Tab? And how would I go about fixing this?
Anybody???
I also recently flashed overcome, kratos but my marketplace is working fine, do you have your gmail set up? I set my gmail up first thing and when I went into the marketplace for the first time all I had to do was accept the terms and it automatically logged me in. You could also try 1. Clearing market data and cache, 2. Uninstalling and reinstalling the market.apk.
Sent From Githrog's Tab
#1 doesn't seem to work for me; it still closes. when I try to uninstall the market, it gives me a warning, can this be ignored?
When I first got my tab, I flashed the euro firmware to enable the voice capability but once finished my market kept giving me an error message that my device was not compatible with the android marketplace, it obviously was so I went to manage applications in the settings menu and forced stop the market then I uninstalled it and downloaded the market.apk from here at xda and it installed fine, I never got the error message I was getting ever again.
Last resort, you could always try reflashing kratos, and just a question, did you restock your tab when you installed kratos? Or did you just install through cwm?

Uninstalling it doesn't seem to work; it gives me the option to add an account and then closes...would restoring the tablet possibly fix it?
Is your gmail working as it sounds like you havent logged into your google account.

You could try factory reset, clear cache and data through recovery mode,
I just can not seem to find any answers online to fix your market problem.

Well, when I first restored the device, I added the wrong account, but never found an option to add the correct one (Under "Accounts" in Settings, there is no option to add accounts); I'm assuming this is part of the problem?
I did a factory reset and wiped things like the dalvik cache; now, instead of giving me an option to pick an account (Note that it was not on the device when I first restored it) it force closes. Any solutions?
I managed to solve the problem by replacing the market with the newest version...but now, when I click anything, the market force closes...
EDIT: The problem appears to have to do with the Tab downloading things; when I reboot the device, the Market works fine until I try to download something, and then it force closes.

[Q] Weird problem with apk install

Hey guys, when I go to install an apk file, the "install" button cannot be pressed, but the "cancel" button can. I have used this method several times in the past and it has worked. I recently upgraded to Sense 6 on AT&T. My phone is completely stock (no rooting or unlocking). And yes my unknown sources button is checked. Hope this is a quick fix :/ I read somewhere else that "JuiceDefender" was causing that issue a while back but I use AVG and CM antivirus. So what could be the issue?
Thanks in advance!

I went and found a common app (instagram) from a 3rd party source and it would not let me install it either. ): I know instagram is compatible with my phone and OS.

Xiaomi mi5 cm13 minor problems

Hi all.
I installed cm13 on my mi5 pro yesterday. Looking good so far. I only have minor issues. The first and most important is I can't swap the back and recent button. I've already got used to miui method ( back on the right, recent button on the left).
How can I change them on cm13? Unfortunately closed+gravity can't help me, because after installing them my banking app (Barclay's) thinks that my phone is rooted and closes with an FC. I've also tried the buttons on the screen option, but in this way I lose screen size, though I can change the buttons I believe.
The other small issue is that I don't really like the menu in this alphabetical order system. Can I use something else instead? Like what is in Nova launcher, just a normalenu, nothing else.
Thanks for the help in advance.
Cheers!
the first issue is related to kernel... when cm will be based on the kernel released from xiaomi, the problem will be solved. don't worry, developers are working on it
I found the a method and it is working:

For the drawer style you can change that in the launcher's settings. Long press a free spot on your home screen, then press settings and change style to "compact".
This swaps the two capacitive buttons around to xiaomi setup instead of Google
you can also find it on this url: https://store.shade.sh/mi5/ from the unofficial cm13 weekly build thread if you do not wish to download it from myself
Thank you guys its working like a miracle.
Now I have another problem, but this time it looks massive.
So my problem is that cm13 is pre rooted when you install it. Well, I have no problem with it, but unfortunately my banking app ( Barclay's) has. I can't use it, because it says rooted device not supported. I've already checked developer options, and root access is disabled, but this doesn't help, I still have issues with the app. I tried flash SuperSU+binaries from twrp, opened app after flash and use full unroot, same problem, banking app thinks my phone is still rooted. I'm thinking about trying out the slim (aosp based) ROM if I can't find any working method.
Can you guys help me with this?
Thank you one again

Tried out this method, but as soon as I tried to start banking app, it closed with an fc. Yes I remember now, that was the problem few days back.
Hm...I can't think anything else..

Try using shade.sh's userbuilds. They are built without built in root. They are under the category "userbuilds" on his website.
Success!
I had to install aosp to to realize what's the problem here. After I did that the same problem happened.: Banking app says my phone is rooted. So I tried doing the same methods on aosp what I did on cm13, except Xposed+gravity because I knew my apps gonna FC. So I tried safe unroot apk from play store, no luck. I also tried this app the night before.
Then i thought maybe I should enable root in developer options, because yesterday morning with this was a half success, Barclays mobile banking app( debit card) said, the device is rooted, I touched ok, then it started without any problems. It was only half success, because the other app Barclaycard (credit card) didn't work, same problem: the phone is rooted. So I tried out the following, and that was the complete success:
Enabled root access for apps only in dev options than i started safe unroot from play->everything's working like a charm.
Thank you guys for help!

Nexus launcher

Hi, I've a short query, is the Nexus launcher built-in in the Android 7? I've used Nexus launcher leaked version and it is awesome, liked it a lot.just wondering if it comes with final Android build?
It's been rebranded Pixel launcher and will be exclusive to the new Pixel phones (officially) however I'm sure there will be ways to circumvent this.
I have a TWRP flashable version of it, with the new wallpaper app. You can set different lock and home screen wallpapers.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/9bs6rjw237p272k/PixelLauncher7.1.zip?dl=0
Anyone else having issues installing. I have tried to install since we recieved the official Android N update with no luck. I tried the nexus launcher as well as the pixel launcher. I even tried different versions of twrp and does the same thing. It says install was successful, but when phone is rebooted, the launcher is not installed

Funny thing, it doesn't seem to be a System/Home option. I flashed mine, and had to choose at reboot, but I don't see if I could change it back (not that I want to).
Edit: Okay, it's not under System/home any more, but in System/Apps, tap the settings gear.
That's what I was thinking as well. But unfortunately it does not even show up there. I am at a lost. Strange part was I had no issues on the developers preview
Also would like to mention, I even flashed the one from the link you provided. It flashes fine in two with no errors, but it does not install.
The update after dp5 is kinda fishy, it seems. Some have problems with the radio. I did a clean flash, then added SuperSu and the Pixel launcher, and it worked for me.
Yes that what i was thinking. I did not really want to root the phone. Which version of the root are you using?
SuperSu 1.78
Just asking out of curiosity. Why that version. I have not used superuser for a while, which is why i am asking. I see SuperrSu is at version 2.78?
Sorry, typo, it's the 2.78.
Just had a chance to flash it.... and it is working. That is pretty strange to say the least.
Is it worth flashing it? Just made a clean install of Stock NPD90 and didn't flash TWRP yet

Not really. It's just a launcher with no extra features. Unless you count the ability to set different wallpapers for the lock screen and the home screen a feature.
But it looks cool, and you get an extra fixed icon on the bottom.

So now advantage regarding the usage of Google Assistant from this launcher?
Nothing more than Google Tap already did.

So the launcher only works after flashing SuperSu? Just installed the Pixel Launcher via twrp but it doesn't show up
That was the only way I was able to get both the pixel and Nexus launcher to work on stock.
Obviously a mistype... V2.78r1 is the latest.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133
Edit: sorry, I see that I was responding to an old post, but the link may be useful anyway.
I saw in an XDA-TV video that you are supposed to be able to either display the clock or weather on the home screen. Has anyone found a way to switch it? I'm thinking it might only be a feature with the Pixel launcher on the Pixel phones.

Is there a way to stop Software Update on stock firmware?

The last time we got an update I had to say remind me later multiple times...eventually I went to sleep just to wake up and find out my phone was updated without my permission.

You can disable it with BK disabler.
Have you tried This? What services would I need to disable?

Using it now.
Just go to the system tab and disable the blue coloured software update with BK disabler. Done.
Can't find a link to the app.
Is there a way to manually do it through settings?

Yeah me neither lol. Just disable options through settings -> software update. It might still eventually push updates after a while though. Long-term you can disable Software update with Titanium Backup if rooted, or else use BK Package Disabler as described earlier.
what if you enable them back but when checking for a software update it just says "up to date", i am running the Nov 1st security patch, have had updates disabled since i use Sub overlays and have a custom ui, just tonight i went and u installed everything bcuz i heard there was a security patch out that was needed n order to get Oreo later this month..i know for a fact my phone isnt up to date.
anyone know what is going on??
my provider is AT&T, any help would b appreciated.
btw..i am NOT rooted or running any custom roms.
Just use bk disabler, disable everything related to software updates, this prevents even the forced updates that sometimes samsung or carriers push, when you re enable all, if there is some update, yo will be able to install it
yeah, using the app is no problem..it's when i enable the updates again thru BK my phone is saying its up to date and i know for a fact it is like 4 security patches behind..i have no idea how to fix it.
i enabled all apps including the update ones, uninstalled BK also.

You are just awesome, pretty and simple. Thank you so much.
For those who do not understand you need activate Developers Options (google it)
Then in Developers Option, uncheck Auto Update System.
I have had this checked from the start and still get update notifications?
