Home wallpaper shows last used app - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Anyone facing this issue on their note 8.
Iam on android Oreo, December 2018 patch.
This happens when an app is open in pop-up.
In the screen shot Galaxy store is in pop-up (minimized). The wallpaper returns to normal as soon as the pop-up app is closed.
Any solutions?View attachment 4799813

Strange pixel line across the screen

I've been noticing it showing up everytime I use Netflix. It's a vertical line on portrait mode. Only fix is reboot the device. Anybody having the same problem? Thanks!

I've once seen a vertical line in landscape mode, not in portrait. I terminated the app and it was fine after. I think it's related to the bigger graphical glitche where half the screen freezes. On mine actually, that line was cut out and then displayed somewhere else on the screen, on another line.

You're right, it's in landscape mode. Anyways it doesn't really shows a lot. Thanks!

Also experiencing pixel line
I think it's something to do with Netflix as well. No other apps, and restarting works. Killing the app by swiping it out of recent apps does not work.
Can't see a pixel line on mine in any app. Running stock rooted themed with minimal mods.

Automatically rotate between wallpaper/lockscreen background

Hi.
I had a Huawei P9 once. It had a cool function where I could choose for example 20 photos which changed every time i opened my phone or pressed the lock/unlock button. This way my lockscreen never got boring as it changed 100 times per day.
Is there a mod/app that will do the same for the galaxy s8/note 8?
I remember that used to available on Samsung phones, didn't notice that feature had been removed, sorry can't help there's probably an app that could do that, shouldn't be too hard.

Picture in Picture Bug

Try watching a YouTube video or use Google maps with picture in picture enabled then try to change apps via recents button or tapping a notification. For me on the US unlocked Note 9 whenever I do this it reduces to picture in picture but goes to the home screen instead of switching to whatever app selected from recents or notification. If I turn off PIP in the app settings it behaves normally. And the Note 8 does not do this for me. Anyone else getting this result?

I just tried it with YouTube. It worked just fine for me. I'm on the N960F (Exynos) though. But at least I can confirm it doesn't appear to be ALL Note 9 devices. Perhaps it's a Snapdragon issue, or something that's just impacting U.S. models (for some reason). Or maybe it's just your phone. [emoji53]

Finally Android 10

Just installed Android 10 on my phone. Following are new features of 10
1.Black theme.
2. Notification bar have changed.
3. Notch can be disabled via Developer Menu
4. Alternate Display available in Moto under settings
5.Dobly Audio changed to Motorola Audio
6. About phone menu look changed.
Still Checking changed features. Will update if got anything new.
What's the size of the update? Does Gesture Navigation work with thrid-party Launchers like Nova launcher?
approx 500-700 mb and will update 2 times. No gesture navigation doesn't show recent application like it does on default launcher. Gesture back button is working on Nova launcher.
Thanks a lot for the reply. So the Gesture Navigation still doesn't work on Android 10 with third-party launchers, that's a let down!
It's a Beta update, right?
Yeh i think it's beta update only. As on official Motorola website it doesn't show anything about Android 10
Are your enrolled in Motorola Feedback Network?
It's beta testing program for Motorola devices or so I have heard but I've never enrolled in it. If you haven't done that then it is definitely a stable update!
Ive enrolled in MFN.. it's then beta update

Any chance we could get the update files, copied off the device prior to installation? Because when I first installed the Pie update, I got an update.zip file posted on this forum. Would the files still be on your device, even after the update is finished?
Zip file will be available after it releases official. I have beta Android so that files can't be copied.. Like Android 9 released in December i guess officially and i got it in January arrpox on my phone. When it releases official then it will easily available to download and flash.

I really want to know how Third-Party launchers like Nova launcher or any other behave with and without gesture navigation enabled. I'd be really grateful if you could screen record that and post it here. Thanks a lot.

Both WPs seems show movement for no longer than 5 seconds, then WP freezes til the next unlock...

I know but i have not made it for infinite time otherwise it will drain your battery. It's the live wallpapers that doesn't drain battery. It stops but gives great experience when you unlock your by finger print or else.
