Hello folks, I've got a strange visual issue with my Galaxy S8:
Huh, seems like I can't link any images. Sorry if I trasgress the board rules in my first post:
hCATSttp://i.imgur.com/xwKihwe.png
My Google search bar stopped being the Galaxy S8's one. The microphone icon is still in the right but the Google logo is now absent, the space is more bright (I think), the corners aren't rounded, and the text "Say Ok Google" is aligned in the right. Practically, it's in material design with the wrong alignment.
There aren't any other launcher installed, I'm still using TouchWiz/Samsung Experience.
How can I fix this problem?
P.S. The similar threads popup sure is useful (not for my case), every board should have something like this.
This has happened to me as well.
To fix you'll need to go into the Google App Settings --> Widgets --> Turn off "Show Updates"
Hope that helps.

Try to go to Settings > Apps and find Google App, then uninstall the updates thru the three dots.

What ROM/OS are you using.....
Once I click on Advanced/Resolution....it shows the current setting, then at the bottom there is a page scroll to view the settings and I can successfully select to my desire. If that does not work I take it you are on a custom rom maybe...possible bug
I just upgraded my HD2 from Gingerbread to Jellybean 4.2.2. So far everything works great except for my open/close menu.
Here is a youtube link of what I am dealing with:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd0ucQyyMMM&feature=c4-overview&list=UUL-MgWl4c3Iv-H1iy3YTbLA
I've installed
2.6.32_tytung_jellybean_r2
US T-mobile HD2
I've rebooted the phone many times and even tried reinstalling the ROM and I still have it.
If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know.
Thanks.
so this is about after clicking on menu button, it launches recent apps? or about the graphics glitches?
anyway, are you using the latest version of the rom?

This is about the graphics glitches. I have it so that when I hold down my menu button it takes me to the open/close menu. I have the latest version. I just checked for an update this morning and there was none.
try to remove the live wallpaper, and check force gpu drawing and similar settings in developer options and try.

Hey! Removing the live wallpaper did the trick. I don't know where to find the developer options (in settings?) but if I check the force gpu drawing like you suggested do you think that I will be able to use live wallpaper again?

Thanks! I now have developer options! I kept trying different things and finally found that disabling HW overlays fixed it! I hope that whatever that means doesn't screw up something else.
Hey, you seem to know a lot. I was also wondering if you know how to keep auto update on for the android play store but disable it for certain apps. My wife really does not like the new update to the google navigation/maops on her stock GS3 and prefers the old. I uninstalled the update to set it back but I didn't want to turn off her auto update because I know that she will never update her apps manually. Any suggestions?
@jimvsmij sorry, i have no idea about that

Open the Play Store > Go into the app you want to disable auto-update for > hit the menu button > You should find "Auto-update", uncheck it.
Other apps will update normally while this one won't.

I saw that option earlier but I thought that unchecking the auto-update would apply to all the apps.
Thanks!
Hey guys.
Its been a few days after ive updated my note 3 to nd3 (im using n9005 malaysia).
Didnt notice anything strange until I bought my gear 2 today.
I tried to find my s voice in the app drawer and the settings but couldnt find it.
I remember disabling s voice last time and now after the update even the disabled apps tab (menu key in app drawer) is also missing.
It was replaced with hidden apps instead.
Someone help me please.

I did disable s voice before the update to nd3.

Weird thing I notice is that last time u can disable apps thru app drawer.
Now the option is missing and replaced by hide applications.

If you disabled it, is it not under Turned Off apps in Application Manager?

It about stops me from doing uploading pictures, downloading. It's driving me crazy anyone else having this problem?
Yea lots of people are. Anything that changes the status of the screen like some kind of screen filter like twilight, night owl, any of those things, can mess with this. It's been pretty annoying. I have Twilight set to a timer to eliminate blue light on the screen before sleeping and I have to freeze and defrost it several times a day. Apparently it's an issue with ZTE. There is a thread over there about it.

I guess that it should actually be a security feature to prevent an overlay app from abusing any open apps below it... but it is really annoying that the ZTE integrated feature Mi-POP will also make this warnings display... you can simply deactivate it through its notification bar shortcut but it's still annoying...

I'm going to guess you have MiPop enabled? is so turn it off and your screen overlay issue might go away.

Screen overlay is new in 6.0 to prevent apps from creating an overlay and giving permissions to themselves. It's not an issue with ZTE.
Yes screen overlay is new. Came from a N6 and never had this problem on stock 6.0 from Google. Facebook messenger will not do anything other than message can't call, or send pictures. Yes it is a problem with ZTE

Go to the "Apps" setting, and then click on the "gear-shaped" setting button to go to the "Draw over other apps" menu and turn off all apps that are enabled. Go back to the "Apps" setting and click on the app that needs permissions modified. When all the permissions are updated, go back and enable the "Draw over other apps" for those apps you disabled.
Use this app it will get rid of that annoying overlay issue.

When I swipe up, either from the bottom edge of the screen OR up on the fingerprint sensor, it opens the Google app. This is usually a setting I've been able to turn off in other tablets but can't seem to figure out how to do so on my new M3. It's bothersome, especially because the gesture is overly sensitive on the fingerprint sensor/navigator ie I will attempt to go back (short press) or go home (long press) but it will pick up an upwards swipe and open up Google which I can't stand (it keeps spoiling the latest TV episodes I haven't watched yet!). Anyone know how to disable this? Just uninstall/disable the Google app?
Had the same issue so I disabled Google now. Then I installed another browser Opera and Firefox and now my browsers are using this gesture. A slight upward motion over the scanner and it opens now. I've not found a way to disable it. I tried using on screen navigation but prefer the button.
The only reliable way to disable this gesture is to deactivate the sensor in the navigation menu and then in the same menu you have to activate the navigation bar.
Actually I found if you enable both methods of navigation you no longer get the swipe up gesture activating Google now. It's not the ideal situation but I can use either method.
I install swipelaunch disabler by hairy robot. Its in google playstore.
Problem solved
Thank you @teruhiko666 ! That appears to have solved it and I can turn off the on screen buttons.
U r welcome jmjm003

Just got m3, it's very annoying to have that swipup gesture. Thank you for sharing, it's the best solution.
from "SwipeLaunch Disabler" description:
Important: For Marshmallow (Android 6), it is possible to disable the assist feature.
Follow below steps:
(1) goto "Settings > Apps > Advanced (the small gear icon) > Default Apps > Assists & voice input"
(2) select "none"

It worked for me. I'm on Android 6.x. I had to enable swipeup utility as default assist app. Then it worked fine. So much better. Before doing this, Everytime I typed it kept bringing up Google assistant. That was so annoying.

Thanks for the tip. I didn't see any documentation about setting the default app. How did you figure it out?
