Am I the only one who has this bug after upgrading?
When other apps try to launch a default app, the screen just dims and the other app doesn't start.
For instance, i click on a link in an app which would normally launch the browser - the screen just dims but the browser doesn't start.
Or in the file browser, if i click in an mp4 the screen just dims and the video player doesn't start?
Very bad.
Rotate screen. Rotate back.

This has been discussed at length in several threads.
The issue is if you have multiple apps that can provide the service (ex. show an image or play a movie) available the dialog asking which one to use does not show. There is some sort of issue with the geometry preventing this dialog from appearing. There are 2 ways I know of to fix this. One is to rotate the screen from landscape to portrait, or portrait to landscape. This will work until your reboot the device. The second method is do the rotation and select a set app as default on the dialog asking you which app to use. The next time an app is needed to display an image or play a movie it will select this one.
That's some weird bug, which I would haven't found since i lock rotation.
Also, I had just turned the device on when it happened, so rebooting might not help?
But thanks it worked.
But was it new with 3.2?

As of this day I can only use my Tab in vertical view. Does anyone know a solution so my Tab will be able to switch (rotate) from vertical to horizontal view? I have the rotation lock off. Thanks for helping me out.

Do you use a custom rom?
there is possibly a setting stuck... do you have experience with adb? you can use logcat to find out what happens if you switch orientation lock off and on and if you get errors when you (physically) change orientation of the tab...
does it only make problems with the homescreen or in every app?
I have the standard rom. Only You Tube can I view in horozontal mode. I have tried setting the rotation lovk on, and off and shaking my Tab, all to no avail. I have no experience with adb. My Tab is rooted and I have a terminal emulator program installed.

Hi Guys,
Is it possible to lock the Archos 70 in just portrait mode, ADW's setting doesn't seem to work, any ideas please?

Its possible in some apps (for example Dolphin Browser HD)

You can try all Launcher Applications from Market

There is an app called AutoRotateSwitch, it just locks the screen in the position it is in at that moment. And it is in a easy button which you can acces by holding the search tool in the toolbar.

Cool thanks! been looking for an app that worked with archos. Most would just lock it in Landscape. My only disappointment is this app moves the softkeys to the side.
Since 3.2 (well I think that's when it started happening) Now every time I click a link or select a bookmark in the bookmark widget the screen just dims and I can't select any browser - screen just stays dimmed and nothing happens.
I have Dolphin and Firefox installed, uninstalled them so only strock browser remained and it worked ok. Re installed them and the issue is back.....
Any idea? How do I reset the what app opens for a task thing?
Rotate your screen to portrait and back. It should fix the problem afterwards. It's a 3.2 problem.

I've been experiencing this quite a lot
Surfing the net pressing home button and find the home screen reloads. So bit of a lag which is very annoying, until samsung sort this out with a software update there is a work around. Simply disable s-voice from.settings that's it. I haven't actually experienced screen reload since.
Let me know if this works for you or not.
Try this
Untick under s-voice settings the following:
Launch S Voice
Wake up command
Under application manager go to running select s-voice and stop all services.
Go to all and disable s-voice. This will remove the app from app draw list too, you can also disable chat on app too.
This should stop the app running in the background.
My mate has got this phone has has also experienced this problem a bit as well.
I was just wondering when you say 'disable s voice' do you just mean just disable s voice opening when double pressing the home button? Or is there a setting to actually turn it off?
Yer had same issue, disabled see voice, all good

I would also like to know this. I stopped s voice opening when I double tap home button. That fixed the home button lag, however, I'm still experiencing the ocassional reload of the home screens.
Sent from my GT-I9300T using XDA
Another nice side effect is it makes the phone feel alot snappier because it removes the home button lag.
EDIT: should have refreshed the thread :/ mattyt_491 was faster.. I don't think there is a way to disable it completely (without rooting) I didn't have any reloads since I disabled the double click. Then again I restarted the phone and it usually takes half a day or so to start happening..

Guys don't get frustrated. As per thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694508&page=3, just set the size of dalvik cache to 128MB and everything will be fine. My personal experience, just perform these two extra steps:
1. Use Nova Launcher or Apex, takes less memory
2. Use 2D rendering from developer options, It does not make it slow at all.
3. From developer option, limit background processes to 4. Trust me you will not notice it.
4. And yes, disable S voice after you are done with initial experiment. Its not useful for anything.
And my phone is working snappier as it was when I opened the box. I will update it after few day's use. Running smoothly for 2 days. Today is third.

Why don't I have this problem? I think it's be ause I usually check what's open and close things. You should go into deb settings and have 4 processes max to test if it really is your memory or you just need to reflash.

I'm having the same problem.
Is rooting the phone and making these adjustments the only solution to this issue?
Switching off S-voice did work temporarily, but the problem has returned.
I'm new to andorid having just switched over from the dark side of iOS. Is Samsung likely to fix this in a coming update?
I find it hard to believe they didn't spot this in pre-testing the phone.
Thanks
I don't have this problem too. Strange.

Hi,
I am trying to use Waze on my phone, but the app won't open as it keeps saying screen overlay detected. I have gone into my settings and turned off the overlay for all the apps apart from the system apps. But it is still not working.
I have tried searching on Google, and don't have any of the apps installed like twilight, luxe or Facebook which are supposed to be causing the problem.
Any other suggestions on how to fix it?

Screen Balance (which adjusts screen colour balance/tint) and which I recommended in another thread creates an overlay.
Certain apps will not function properly unless SB is turned off.

It's not a stock app it's a downloaded app from the play store.
I usually turn off off all the apps using it and turn it on after... It's a frustrating issue but what are you going to do.
If it's bothering you find a good Rom, for example Superman Rom, Overlays was removed as it's too much if s hassle

It has nothing to do with any of that, it's Google's fault. You can flash a fix which is in Phoenix rom thread or go back to a previous stock rom

Sorry, I didn't make myself very clear. Screen Balance is an app, separate to the UI's adjustments.
I had the same overlay issue,what I did that Ive disabled all the apps altogether,and switched them on back one by one,discovered that an application called Swipe Home Button Ive installed was responsible,so I have uninstalled after which everything was normal.
Is it safe to turn off the overlay for the system installed apps? I have turned off the overlay for all other apps that I have installed
The app that was causing me this problem after this weekend's AT&T software update was Bing. I Uninstalled it and all was fine.
How I finally fixed the "Screen Overlay" problem on my S7 edge.
The easiest fix, only full fix, I have found is as follows. When the screen overlay screen opens in settings, just turn everything marked on to off. Which by the way is the only thing you can do on this screen. Since I did all my apps, even the ones that weren't working, are working as they should. Hope this helps someone.
As Richie and Monigote stated, flash the screen overlay fix from Phoenix ROM. LoL pay attention please

even when I tried to turn overlay off for all apps mine still was going wrong and I couldn´t use some apps...the only way I got this fixed was making a reset (from the configs options it self) from all my configurations, just configurations, not all data in the phone, it works fine for now...
now I´m with problem with my mobile data connection, I don´t know if it´s from my brand or my phone...

The message about overlay detected i have seen and experienced a number of times.
BUT the only time this has occurred is when i was using SideSync
i.e. I am using it to Remote control the device using my PC
or am using my PC to display my Phone within my PC screen (So i can use my phone while using the PC)
The warning was being presented by some apps because SideSync was overlaying the screen to mirror it to my PC screen)
As soon as i disconnected this message stopped.
Not am not saying your using SideSync, But any other app you have installed that can mirror / allow remote access or displaying your phone screen on another device like PC may be causing the problem

Did Pokemon enable the game overlay?
Small controller icon that comes up when games like Pokemon are playing - that could be your issue.
