I did some searching on this issue but the only thread I found was from 2010 and we've come a ways since then. My issue is, randomly when I try and access my gallery I will get a black screen while my buttons remain lit. I have to hit the home button in order to do anything and then need to kill the gallery from running in order to get back into it. Has anyone else seen this or know how to fix it?
I'm runniny Serendipity VII build 2 kernel 4.

I haven't had this issues, but here are a couple of things I can think of:
1. Did you try installing a different gallery over it? (Using SGS tools)
2. How many pictures do you have? I could see a lot of folders/pics tripping it up.
3. Have you tried clearing the data from the app? (Through settings)

I haven't installed another gallery because I like the default one and haven't had any problems with it until recently. I've got a few hundred pictures but about 7gigs of anime that I can't keep from showing up each time. I checked the application settings but there isn't anything you can clear.

Try this: look around in your filesystem for a file called .nomedia, and put a copy of that in the folder/folders you have your anime images in. They won't show up in gallery, but you'll still be able to get to them.
go to settings, more, application manager, all, and clear data, then stop services for google services framework....then go into system update and update samsung software...... you may have to do that up to 10x with a few restarts in between
also you need to at least have 35% battery
works everytime for me!
if you notice after you clear data and go to system update, it shows that it last checked i 1969......this somehow resets the que and puts you in front of the line
Although this update fixed my red hues during black backgrounds, it added the purple blur/smearing thing when scrolling though quickly...at least we know its a software problem and not hardware
Ok...
I'm going to put this here as I did in the 2 other ota threads.. would someone please grab a log of the link (or grab the download prior to try to install) if they are getting propmted so we can get this to look at?
A bunch of people talking about it, no one trying to get it?
Not sure how. I would be happy to grab the download and get it to someone.

Depends on how people are getting the prompt.. Within the other thread, one of the three anyway, there was this post by a rooted user that had the fail..
This would be ideal because it should have been sitting in /cache (as we've seen on other devices) and it could simply have been pulled.
The only other option (and it will probably not be successful without root but worth a try) would be getting a logcat (running log during process), then forcing the prompt by clearing framework in hopes of catching the download link when the prompt arrives and tapping it. Pull log, inpect it for link and go and get it manually.

By clearing all data in 'Google Services Framework' will this delete any of your contacts, settings, etc.?

nope...won't mess with anything....you may need to say yes to a few google permission prompts like accessing your location, etc...but nothing gets erased and no other changes

As soon as I turned off developer options, cleared framework data and forced closed it worked. Thank you!
Do we still yet to have a change log? Hoping for some speed improvements, if even small!

Another possible method of grabbing files on a non rooted phone is airdroid app. Connect with PC, choose files folder. By default it will go to the SD card but you can back up and get to the phone's system files after a warning screen. If the theory works, just start poking around the file system until you find the update and download it to the computer. You can't edit anything with airdroid but you can grab files at least if you're not rooted. I've never tried this but did see it show the phone's internal files when trying to get to external storage when the default go to folder was internal storage.
Got my update, turned off dev mode, force stopped google services framework, and cleared data.
So much smoother

Is anyone else experiencing the problem where opening Gmail via an active display notification results can a blank screen apart from the system ui and the toolbar? I'll get a screenshot next time it happens.

I've not had that issue with gmail, but i seem to remember opening chrome more than once to that same screen. This was launched from the home screen, not through active display though.
I think it's just an app not responding. Kill it and restart.
It's still responding. I can use the toolbar to go to my inbox and I can open the email there with no problems.

Out of no where my phone has lost all of its pics. Wondering if this has happened to anyone else? I went to go open my gallery and found I had no images in it, I did have my other albums but anything taken with the camera was deleted.

Do you back up to Google+?
Folders are tagged to show in the gallery. I'd check the file system and see if everything is still there.

Yes i do back everything up with Google plus. It's just strange how this happened. My phone never turned off it just poofed out of thin air.

Yesterday a message appeared in my gallery saying there is no memory or pics in the folder and close itself, reboot the phone and everything works fine

Sounds like the virtual SD card partition is corrupt. I would try a reboot and if that doesn't work you may have to do a factory reset.
What happens when you plug the phone into a computer?
I've waiting to see if anyone else is having this issue before posting but haven't seen it. I've been having this problem since I got the 6 and rooted ect, even on stock Rom. After some time, a day or less, when a new app prompts su for permission, I can't select allow. Also I can not longer side load an app. When it shows cancel or install, I can't select install, only cancel. Weirdest thing. I'm on my 3rd Rom, and it just started.

You have a screen filter on...
The package manager disables install with the filter on to prevent tapjacking
