Hi,
I don't know if someone else found this problem. I made a video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=RS9j4uiTDaE. It's also in FullHD.
And wrote a post in my blog in my native language, spanish: http://retreteinformatico.blogspot.com/2012/01/touchwiz-40-y-problemas-con-la.html
The video description is english. I'll also explain the problem here:
Simply put, TouchWiz does not save the icons in the place where I leave them. At first I organized all of them in two screens: one with folders and the other with most frequently used icons. After doing a power on-off cycle the icons are all scattered without alphabetical order in three screens instead of two. The folders maintain their ordering and screen. An icon (AllShare) is put between two folders and the other icons are divided in two screens, disordered, not alphabetical.
In the video you'll see first what I found after the icon position screwing. Then I get three or four apps out of their folder (Google Talk, Gmail, Maps, Market) and put them with the rest of the icons and the AllShare app is put with the rest, out of the screen with the folders. Then I power off the phone and turn it on again to find that GTalk, Maps, Market and AllShare are out of their place.
After that, I put the icons more or less where I want to put them (in two screens) and I do again a power cycle to show how did TouchWiz screw my icon organization.
I'm using Android 2.3.4 XWIK4 with baseband XXKI1.
If someone is able to reproduce the problem just tell it. Maybe touchwizh has problems if you put in folders the Samsung apps (Hubs and more), I don't know, but it's a big problem.
Folder/Icon rearrangement is a known problem with TouchWiz since day 1 when SGS2 got released.
Best way to get around is to use AppSorter and sort your App Drawer everytime you create a folder.
Posting problems about 2.3.4 when everyone else is on 2.3.6 = VERY SERIOUS BUSINESS!
Update your phone and test it and give feedback!
Hmmm, I didn't know. How comes that Samsung hasn't fixed this in 8 monts?
This is ludicrous.
Beta is bad

Love the name of your blog: informatic toilet (retrete informatico) ahahah
Anyway: They suck on fixing bugs.. if we users and devs cant fix'em we are screwed lol
Also, why any reviewer spoted this problem? Add to this the Fujitsu camera module problem and you get the idea that QA on Samsung is really poor. Just remember the GPS problem on Samsung Galaxy S1.

My icons are kept in their folders. The problem is the icons that are out of their folders. I'm using original Android, no beta nor custom ROMs.

i rooted my phone and installed checkrom revo v4 and don't have that problem! What is weird to me is that i always used folders and that issue never came to me

I read your first post about upgrading to 2.3.6. Well, if I just use the default Samsung support, I'm stuck to 2.3.4, as my phone is Austrian version and Samsung didn't release nothing newer than 2.3.4 for those phones.
So Samsung sucks big as a company and client support.
Of course if I start to root the phone and installing custom ROMs the problem would disappear, but flashing your phone and breaking your warranty is not something the user should do for something that's supposed to work from the beginning. Different thing is if the user wants extra functionality, but this is not the case.
So, all in all, I'll wait until ICS gets released and after that if it doesn't convince me, I'll root and who know if I flash a custom ROM.
I had that trouble before where one app ended up going to the next page and kept going back there. I think simply restoring the order, going to TwLauncher in the application list and then force stopping should make it remember the order you gave it once you go back.

If I force stop TwLauncher the apps are again "out of control" :-/
I'll try to clear the cache although I'm reluctant because I'll need to recreate all folders again
I have partially solved the problem by clearing the cache of TouchWiz launcher.
Now the SIM service app keeps going back to the same place out of its folder, but I refuse to clear again the cache and organize all my apps. Maybe it's because the SIM service app is something variable. If I kill touchwiz process that app appears inside it's folder (once the cache corruption is solved), but if I turn off the phone and turn on again, the SIM app appears out of the folder.
This is crap.
Well, know what? I've installed some applications at one time, all from Samsung Apps, and after rebooting the phone all my folders are empty and the apps inside them are all spread across 6 screens instead the 2 screens I managed to sort. The apps and folders have lost the position I assigned to them.
Now I have a bunch of icons in random order and I don't want to organize again 6x8 = 48 icons plus the home screens which would turn to default state after clearing the cache of the touchwiz manager.
It's very annoying and unusable. I want to throw the phone through the window.
What I can't understand is how this bug has been happening since launch date and Samsung hasn't been able to solve it. My only hope is the ICS update and I don't have much confidence on it. Probably I'll have to flash a custom ROM and then try to get some Samsung software on it.
The free games offer is very good
PS: Well, maybe it has some explanation->Samsung's poor software development quality assurance. Camera's firmware also suffer from it.

With all due respect, and not aiming to sound rood to you, with that mentality (it should work fine out of the box and I don't care if somewhere else there's a newer version...) you shouldn't be posting on XDA because people we'll obviously tell you to upgrade to the latest version, whether it's from a different operator/country (legit) or simply a leak.
You can't expect people here to act like the only way to use the phone is by following what Samsung/your operator is dictating you. We all know and have long ago agreed that operators and manufacturers are lazy when it comes to QA, and that's why a place like XDA exists

The camera firmware bug affects to all people, doesn't matter if you have stock Android or custom ROM. So we're all in the same bag. And this is Galaxy S II General forum, so I post this here because norms allow it.
Anyways, thanks for your reading.
Actually clearing the cache helped! Ever since I updated to 2.3.6 I have had this problem but after clearing the cache it has been resolved. But initially after the update the folders did remember for a couple of days after which the problem started for me. But for now clearing the cache worked well.

Tbe 3.2 update takes ages.time for a cpl of cups of tea
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
took i'd say 20 mins
I saw this morning that samfirmware had a new European firmware for the tab, at least we are moving in the right direction.
Will have to check this out at the weekend.

Arrived on mine too about a hour ago and I'm not impressed! Swiftkey and browsers are making it a mare to get them to work together, still having problems editing text boxes too - it still won't place the cursor where you press! Where the hell is ICS Samsung?
The OTA update failed for me, doing it via Kies now. Is it because I have rooted?
Downloaded and just installing now. Will let you know how it goes.
Just finished installing and everything seams fine. Should i do a factory reset people?
Installed through Kies and it worked. Lost root and CWM recovery but that's simple to get back. Now the wait for ICS begins lol
still odd behaviour even after a reboot, quick reply on this site doesn't work full stop! Anyone else got this?
Got the update last night, everything working for me fine. Bit annoyed Google Books is now preinstalled but I can live with it. I noticed Kobo Book reader was also installed so got rid of that and another couple of new apps i have never heard of.
Is it advisable to do a factory reset as others have suggested?
upgraded to 3.2 today
Thanks to this thread I saw the upgrade was available and just upgraded
I have looked for the upgrade regularily.. then stopped as i got bored of looking.
Interestingly I didn't get the over the air notification that it was avialable like I did for the last upgrade.
I'm on a Vodafone supplied GT7500
First impression after an hour : very minor functional changes, minor aesthetic changes, reasonable speed improvement.
I have a lot of background apps, adw launcher with 9 screens full of widgets so my tab was starting to get pretty laggy. Now its significantly better.
First post on xda -thanks to all those who have put info on here
-Pete
Sound great! ..
Is there any advise on how to get the UK 3.2 update? .. I bought my P7500 Tab while in the US, and i think it eventually turned out to have a Brasilian rom on it.. At this moment of time I have P7500XWKK4
Base Version P7500xxKK2

Download the latest official p7500XX firmware (not sure which is the latest official) from here and use odin to flash. Do a factory reset after flashing.
Download the CSC Select app off the Market after flashing and choose XEU. This will also factory reset your device so dont customise it yet and cancel any automatic market downloads.
This thread is about the p7510 as it has just received the 3.2 update whereas the p7500 has had 3.2 for a month or two.
Hope this helps

This was the first release of the 3.2 XEU for P7500 in the UK also.
My impressions after a full wipe:
1) The screen is noticably more sensitive and accurate.
2) Reader's Hub is included.
3) AllShare's included.
3) Loaded with a ton of apps and widgets the UI's a lot more fluid.
4) The UStrings stays on "desktop" once it's set.
5) The browser's less clunky
5) The page top/bottom bounce has been replaced with the blue glow.
6) The Gallery's different.
7) Minor cosmetic tweaks.

The UAString sets the browser as desktop or mobile.
I have just done the over the air update, download was just under 100Mb and the update took about 1/2hour with the tablet turning off completely and me having to turn it on holding the power for a few seconds, then it sat at the Samsung logo for ages before eventually starting up.
Initial impressions are very good.
Much smoother, even when the free RAM is low
Haven't tried live wallpapers yet!
The Memo app is better for finger input, faster response, almost there
Sketchbook Pro drawing app is still a bit slow in drawing
AntiPaper is also slow at drawing, compared with Memo - weird
Browser is much improved, more accurate touch, smoother scrolling though still a bit of a rubber band in content catching up with my finger movements when scrolling
New update to Google Books but still no highlighting, definition, notes like they have in the Chrom Google Books App - I suppose it will come eventually
A few issues for me, can someone check these as I may have to root, titanium backup and factory reset...
The default Video Player doesn't open
Samsung Hub doesn't open and hangs
EDIT:
Last night the tab rebooted itself and since then the default Video Player has been operating as normal !!!
Just a warning to anyone who is using titanium. Copy all the folders you want to keep, including titanium, on your pc.
If you do a factory reset (recommended) after flashing, as I did yesterday, you will lose *everything* on your sdcard. I had an old backup from November on my pc, took me hours to bring everything back to date. And I lost all my progress on a couple of games.... *grumble*.
Otherwise I agree it's a definite improvement. And I liked how they finally fixed honeycomb bar, now it disappears nicely when watching videos, so I don't have to use an extra app as root to hide it.
It has also arrived in Norway
Hi everyone,

I've been using it for a few hours now and it seems snappier than before. No laggish animations so far.

Battery life seems about the same...

So far I am glad I did it. It gives a nice fresh look. Perhaps a tad smoother, but that might just be me wanting it to be better. Too early to tell about battery, but at least it hasn't been worse. Am not a heavy game or social media user.
The change to the notification screen is great for the most part. I love that the first five tiles/toggle buttons appear right away on the first down swipe. I can rearrange so that my most often used ones show up quickly.
One annoying change however is, the Mobile data toggle button now takes two touches to perform the same thing previously. The first touch now brings up an abbreviated data usage screen, and one needs to press the on/off switch in addition. Overall, if I remember correctly, the touch count could be the same, because now that button can appear on the first down swipe. Still it is annoying. It feels like one hand gives, and the other takes away
Crossing my fingers that all continues to go well...

Yeah but it exists some mod when the phone is rooted so it's pretty easy to fix. Anyway, I let you post a little review after your own test ! I will put it in the first post
Thanks !!
Unfortunately when I try to create ftf file in flashtool basing on firmware downloaded by XperiFirm i get quite ambiguous error (see attachment) and I don't really know what to do about it. I already tried to download this firmware twice. Is it only me? Few days ago I created .376 ftf without an issue.
Wondering what's new on this one...
Wow, and for my country the latest version is still stuck on MM 305, didn't even get 5.11, and now there's already a second N version released. Curses...
The increment in version number is unusually small, I wonder what has changed and how critical the bug is. Will it replace 376?
downloaded and flashed, just rebooted to setup interface.
Now i just have to look up how to root it, and install twrp since i wiped the whole phone (came from xpower 5.0)
Edit: had some problems with the keyboard when entering my google account, also had to skip the fingerprint setup since it didn't register my fingerprints.
Used the customized NOBA and i have a european E5823 so the fingerprint reader should work.
2nd Edit: fingerprint reader worked when i did the setup thru the settings menu

I will upload one shortly. For reference, you are probably on an old version of FlashTool. For some reason the website doesn't always have the most up to date version, and you have to patch it by downloading and replacing the updated x10flasher.jar file separately.

Noob question
Hi guys - noob question. Can I install an update not for my country or carrier on a non-rooted device? I am having severe Bluetooth issues with 376 and want to try 378 to see if it fixes it. However 378 is only available in Northern Europe at present and I'm on O2 UK.
Got the dreaded 'fingerprint hardware not available' back. Can that be fixed without root?
Does anyone have any clue when Android 7 will land on the Zoom? It's kinda silly that it didn't launch with it to begin with. But the year older Zenfone's have since received Android 7 and we're still waiting ..
Already launched. Updated today.
1.2Gb download
Oh wow, look at that timing
I hope it doesn't cause the white line issue when I install it!

I just downloaded the update, I'm gonna leave it charging and updating. :fingers-crossed:
Just updated mine.
Main noticable things are:
- the new notification interface,
- the quick links page allows more icons and has better design, and
- Portrait mode on the camera.
What else called your attention?
Did a factory reset after install. Thought Asus cleaned up pretty well on Nougat for Zenfone 3 but the 3 Zoom's Nougat strips away almost everything. Apps could only get clearer if they replace Memo with Google Keep and not preload Duo.
I think there is more wall papers in wall paper slideshow.
Nougat ZenUI is much better than Marshmallow was.
Greatly appreciate the update. Yes, the UI is still terrible color and design, but Nougat makes this feel tolerable. Especially the ability to remove sooooo much bloat. Glad that I could finally get Google Phone dialer installed and working without the ASUS Call screen. Now if I could set long hold back button to kill I'd be quite happy.
Can you guys get me ota link ?
Use Android Terminal to Run this command
cat /data/data/com.asus.dm/files/tree.xml
Then upload tree.xml from your sdcard
Thanks

Interesting I'm still unable to install Google Phone (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.dialer), stuck with ASUS's app.
Another one that bothers me is the Contacts app. I'm used to Google's stock and I find ASUS option way worse.
Ideas anyone?
I'm using google phone app on mine.
Download the Contacts APK from APKMirror.
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-contacts/
My camera app stopped working after the update :\ Even tried resetting it. Other camera apps work fine. Asus support says to reset my phone and otherwise send it in (for a software issue?!). I guess I'll be resetting, but this is the second time support told me to send in the device for a software issue. Can't say I'm impressed.

Hello, since Oreo update the most of the s8 users facing battery drain.. personally mine needs 2 times to charge it on the day.. I am using messenger, Instagram, Facebook.. I know these apps are Killers for the battery but on nougat didn't face that problem. Also I have greenify to freeze the most of the apps, titanium backup.. a custom kernel with a Governor that promising battery life, but it has a lot of lag.. also the gps etc are off ! Let's find a way to fix that problem .. I don't know when or if Sammy will release update to fix it.

What modifications have you done on your phone ?
I usually charge my phone twice a day since nexus 5, anyway you can use the lite version of messenger, skype and for the rare use apps.
For Facebook I personally unistall the app, but a good way to fix it is by downloading "Facebook less crap" (search on xda) then using RomToolBox pro and disabling all facebook startup, and the final touch greenify.
Same for the other apps: (google them)
fb messenger -> Messenger less crap
Instagram -> OGmods Instangram+
Whatsapp -> OGmods OGWhatsapp
Youtube -> OGYoutube or Youtube app + xposed modules
Telegram -> Plus messenger (My favorite to admin all channels)
and so on....
You can do the same with RomToolBox pro and grenify to take full control
On what version of Oreo are you? Since CRC7 Battery is very good for me. Maybe it's even better than on Nougat before. Using Light ROM with NX-Kernel.

I found this version here on XDA, because every official Oreo rom I was trying to install through Odin I I was getting error after flashing shoot.. it's a error with CRAP rooms something like that I read.. I found a thread here to fix it with zip tool to unzip the rom and delete something from it but I got another error. I was trying for like 5 hours.. and I found this ROM I have now.. also on a telegram group I found the AEL kernel free and I install it, I am using Synapse app to configure the governor etc.. which governor do you suggest me for the best battery life ? I was using blu_active and one more I don't remember it's name but I got a lot of lag..

You're on the very 1st oreo version firmware which Samsung pulled because of issues, you need to update to latest which is like CRC7 I believe, newer versions have very good battery life.

Hello, since Oreo update the most of the s8 users facing battery drain.. personally mine needs 2 times to charge it on the day.. I am using messenger, Instagram, Facebook.. I know these apps are Killers for the battery but on nougat didn't face that problem. Also I have greenify to freeze the most of the apps, titanium backup.. a custom kernel with a Governor that promising battery life, but it has a lot of lag.. also the gps etc are off ! Let's find a way to fix that problem .. I don't know when or if Sammy will release update to fix it.

It seems you ruined your S8 with all the so called optimizations.

Okay, firstly are you rooted and have twrp installed? If so then just flash one of the many roms available, most of them are now based on newest available firmware, and install a kernel like noxx or one of the others.

This one is probably best for you: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/samsung-galaxy-s8--s8-cross-device-development/g95xf-fd-n-oreo-beta-2-soldier9312-zqk4-t3703183
Install everything optional in the aroma installer, so you wont have problems afterwards. Also you don not have to mess around with the kernel.
Hope you like it

I forgot to mention that I have the App "SD maid pro" for clean the device every 7 days at 2:30 am and then rebooting itself, so you start your week with a fresh and clean device. You can also automate most of the task by using "tasker" app.
Recently I create a profile to set "GPS on High accuracy" when apps like Google maps or "Maps.me" are open and change to "GPS on Battery saving" when leaving those apps.
Another tweak to save battery is create in tasker a profile with the csc of your mobile company (in my case CNT) and near to my house are 4 antennas of this company to set the WiFi On when connected to those antennas or wait 5 min to Turn Off the Wifi when those antennas are not available anymore. You can add more Antennas from your workplace, parents, gf, bf, ggs, and common visited places to never have to worry about the WiFi and saving battery, because you are already connected to those antennas so Tasker use almost no battery.
As I mention to you, even with those and another tweaks I have to charge my s8+ twice a day, but at least not 3 times a day xD
You are welcome, if you need something else just let me know, most of the info is already available on XDA, which ones to use is the deal, so chose wisely my friend....
PD: Try not to bootloop your phone in the process xD

So that's custom ROM with TW ui Right?
Correct, it has touchwiz (Samsung experience) ui
Fully stock here. No greenify/custom placebo crap and I'm getting 6h+ of screen on time every day with a mixture of LTE and WiFi. And I also use all the usual suspects (Facebook, fb messenger etc). Sometimes less is more, stop installing a million crap applications to "save battery", they're probably doing you a lot more harm than good. Battery on stock Oreo is just fine.
Normal s8 btw, not the s8+.
