A71 blocks - Samsung Galaxy A71 Questions & Answers

After unlocking I only see empty background without icons.
Won't continue until I can open the side or top menu by swiping across the screen
If I open any app I have to do this again and again to get further.
After rebooting this is gone, but it comes back regularly.
Anyone else having this problem or how to fix it?
Thanks

Strange black and white rectangles

All of the sudden tonight I started seeing white rectangles when I open a program and black rectangles when I close a program. When I open a program, first it will show a medium size hollow rectangle about half the size of the screen followed by a larger one about 2/3's the size of the screen and then the program opens. When I close a program it does it in reverse with black rectangles. Also, when I change todayscreen themes just after I pick a new theme I get a tiny rectangle in the upper left hand corner followed by a slightly larger one a little more towards the middle of the screen and then the wait cursor pops up. To me it seems like it's an animation, but I don't remember enabling anything like that and menu animations are disabled. I don't really care if it keeps doing that as long as it's not a sign of a problem of some kind. Anyone else seen anything like this? If it's something I accidentally enabled, how did I end up doing it so I can turn it off in the future if I decide to?
HKLM\System\GWE\Animate set this to 0
it now animates opening and closing windows
Thanks RPGO. I was just about to hard reset my phone since no one seemed to know what was going on and I wanted to make sure that it wasn't something that could potentially harm my phone sooner or later. I still don't quite know how it got activated.
Figured out how it got it got activated. It was part of Paul's tweak pack over at MoDaCo. I was just over there and happened to run across someone asking for an untweak for that tweak.

Problem with Keyboard when texting

Sometimes when I am trying to text I can only see one line and my phone doesn't allow me to scroll down. If I hit enter I can still only see the one line. Anyone else have this problem?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That will happen occassionally. I think the only way to fix it is by closing and then reopening the messaging app.
I have seen this happen often if you hit a button to launch the messaging app, and then slide the keyboard open (causing screen rotation) while the app is loading. It gets confused and makes the text entry area fall under the bottom button bar.
The answer is to completely close and re-open the messaging app, and always wait until it is fully loaded before sliding the keyboard out.
Another trick is to load the SIP. Touch the keyboard icon on the bottom of the screen and it will push the text input window out.

(Q) How do you keep the keyboard up?

This happens all the time:
The part of the website with the text entry box finishes loading. You tap it, start typing, as you're typing, something else finishes loading and the keyboard vanishes - often causing you to tap on some ad banner on accident. Is there any way to minimize this? Other than waiting until its 'safe' to start?

You can either wait till the page loads fully or click on the stop icon to manually stop the page from loading unwanted stuff and interfere with your replies
More often than not, when I push the 'stop' button; rather then keeping the partially loaded site in a freeze-frame, it whites out the whole browser window. I'd love to see a 'force retain' option on the keyboard (I use A.I. Type) for those of us that don't appreciate indefinite load times.

[Q] Stock Camera Settings

When I enter the camera and try to open the settings icon in the upper left corner of the screen, it flashes open for just a second, and I can see the Blue Title bar with Camera Settings, but then it returns to the view finder screen. I can only see the settings screen for a seconds. Both TMobile and Samsung have no clue except a factory re-start and we know what a pain in the a*s that is. Any solutions in the community?
Thanks in advance,
Jack

Apps at the bottom go on top of each other

Sometimes and I don't know what triggers it, my apps that are on the bottom of the homescreen. The phone, message, camera icons go to the middle of the right side of the screen and on top of each other. So I can't press any apart of the top one. It seems to happen when I open an app landscape and close the app. I wonder how to turn that off because I need to restart my phone every time this happens.
