I dont know if you guys have this problem but my Note 2 LTE always recalibrates the wallpaper everytime I press the home button. It would go to the right and the to the left and finally back to the center. All these causes the phone to go into extreme lag while the wallpaper does this. Anyone had similar experiences but solved it?

I'm not sure I follow. Could you please explain what's happening in more detail? And what do you mean "recalibrating?"
I think he means its repositioning itself..
Mine used to do it after a restart it would be fine mine only does it now after a full battery drain, its a weird bug lol.

Yes poor choice of words on my part. I certainly meant reposition. Its extremely irritaing and this problem has forced me to use alternative launchers like Apex though I will lose some great features as a result. Other than changing launchers theres is really nothing I can do. Might be a bug with LJ5 though.

settings -> application manager -> ALL -> SecWallpaperChooser -> Clear data
I had this too.
Hi that method does not work for me. Thanks anyway!

I had this wallpaper moving thing on my note 2 (showed up some days after buying) that i changed for new one due to visual defects and the new one also did this. After clearing data to that apk and afterwards putting new wallpaper, no more moving. Maybe can try to clear other wallpaper apk data, if there is some, but I am pretty sure, that this is the right one

Galaxy SIII is a fantastic phone, but I seem to be constantly let down by touchwiz stuff. My idea for this thread is a big, long list of annoyances and suggestions for fixing them.
For example, an annoyance: TW doesn't support sorting the app drawer by name, you have to manually sort things and that goes slow. You would have thought they'd have a better way to manage the app drawer by now, but alas, no.
Solution: AppZorter Lite is a free solution that will sort your app drawer for you. Bonus: I like a nice empty app list, so I've gotten it hidden (one thing TW does do) and just launch it from the store when I need to.
Two that I haven't solved:
1) Facebook has filled my contact list with a huge number of people I don't care about, seems to have ignored the "only sync with existing contacts". Removing facebook users is a process: hold on the user, press delete, confirm that it isn't actually deleting.
2) The default MMS app seems to send (or displays?) all picture messages as slideshows. Super lame. Is there any way to turn this out without installing a 3rd party app?
App drawer, menu, view type, alphabetical grid or list.

much easier than my solution. skipped right over that option.
Thanks.
Trying out Pansi SMS as my sms solution, though it's a bummer that it doesn't interact with the lock screen like the native one.

Scrolling wallpapers!!!! (Already made a thread for it)
The app drawer thing is why I didn't use the TW launcher on the Epic. At least now I can install Apex or Nova in the system/app folder.
Network errors, Sprints fault, not the phone.
Oh, I asked that S-Voice b*tch where she was from and she didn't understand. Guess that's what I get for hitting on my phone. :crying:

TouchWiz in general is just a piece of ****. Still running the Epic here and I cursed my phone every day until I put launcher pro on it and it was manageable. Didn't actually like my phone until I rooted and got CM9. My wife is getting the S3 upgrade but CM9 will go on as soon as it is available. She knows how ****ty TW is.

Turn off double ppress for svoice. It is quicker. The reason food the delay is that it is giving the user a chance to double press

Pissed that BB had no accessories when i picked up the phone and i now have 2 micro scratches on the screen from screen sliding along a piece of paper on my desk at work.
I hate the purple/baby blue rim around the phone.
Waiting for a black TPU bumper and black metal battery cover replacement from china to resolve these issues.
Outside of that- much more impressed with the form factor than that of the EVO LTE which i traded for it. The S3 is very comfortable in hand.
Phone is way too slippery!
BTW- Touchwiz sucks! i installed Apex while waiting to check out at BestBuy.

Hi, this has happened twice now.
Once on Facebook, and once on the Browser I think
What happens, is it seems like someone (a robot with really quick fingers) keeps flicking my screen up, so when I try to scroll down the page, it goes down a little bit and then goes straight back up, so it seems to "bounce" off the top of the page.
I have to keep closing things, pressing home button/back button lots, close apps etc and then it will stop.
What could be causing this? I hope I explained it well enough.
Thanks !
Anyone?
Are you rooted? If so, try restoring to stock or re-flashing the stock ROM. I don't really have any idea what could cause that scrolling issue, but if it continues, I would exchange/RMA your N7.

Development setting..
in the new chrome browser there is a feature called tilt scroll.its in menu settings Developer tools.. On my device it does not work. well except once in a while on its own.. Could this be your issue... Un check the box and let us know back if it makes a difference.
Hey guys I don't know if there is something up with my device or this problem is standard, the thing is that my email app (not Gmail just email) and my stock browser have a weird blue tinge to them, when I switch back to some other programs or apps the colors come back to normal, the brightness on these two apps also reduce as compared to my normal settings, any help is appreciated, cheers

Those apps have their own power saving/brightness controls.
Check the settings menu when you are inside those apps. I know for sure the stock browser has its own display settings that are independent of the system settings.
Hey mate thanks for the reply, now I'm starting to get a bit worried because even before I tinkered around with anything the color changed back to its normal hue, not sure what exactly is going on

Yolo,
There might be a tip about this in the note 2 forum.. I couldn't find any.. if there's any im sorry about the repost
So the last couple of days I found this really annoying I kept pressing the home button twice to go back to the screen but the svoice activates (idiotic slow iphone habit) so I had too disable it in svoice settings.. and after that I can feel the smoothness that is project butter... any apps like nova 3 game or chrome... it seems to close the apps quicker... all so very smooth... I couldn't believe it at 1st but later I kept my eye on the ram usage on the entire day it never went past 1gb.. usually I use snote and Gtalk video to get work done with my colleagues .. at times the phone reboots or crashes but after disabling svoice and some samsung apps in application manger... for almost 3 days.. the phone is super fast, battery last longer than 14 hours and no crashes or lag ..

Just tried it, and it *seems* a bit faster. Also with the force hardware hardware rendering in dev options.
There's still some extra speed to be squeezed out of the note 2. I find the speed difference between my note 1 with hydracore 4.3b and the stock note 2 not very very big in daily use....

Of course from the day 1 I bought it.. but you can still disable it.. the apps which I disabled are S suggest, Learning hub, simple alarm clock and samsung push service.. if you get an error or some sort.. scroll all the way down in application manager (All section) and enable it back.. but it best you don't mess around with any other features likw nfc test or cell standby cuz it drains your battery... that's not the solution (I'm just saying)

Just got my second nexus 4. Rooted then installed cm10. I keep having a problem where one of my home screens keeps losing all icons. It happens to different home screens pages. Did I receive a bad phone? This never happened on my old nexus 4. The only solution is to force stop trebuchet, then my icons come back. Really annoying.
Thanks

Lol no. It's something to do with the software. Try another full wipe. Do not restore any apps or anything yet, and see if the problem still persists.

I found the problem. The issue only occurs in nightlies. It happens when you switch from app drawer to home screen really fast. I replicated the bug multiple times by repeatedly switching from drawer to home screen. The problem is gone on rc5.
