Home screen folders issue. - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Since going to 4.3 I noticed home screen folders do not close after opening an item in the folder. Has anyone else run in to that? It's very annoying and is pissing me off.
Damn it posted in the wrong.
Love the 90s good times

Same thing here, it is annoying because I use a lot of folders. I've searched every setting I could find and haven't found anything. Maybe Wanam can add a fix to their module.

Small annoyance like this is what prevented me from updating. Thinking about going back to mf9. Battery life sucks on mja. Please someone fix this problem.

Just curious, do you mean these folders?

Lol. Oh ok.. I myself am using the original stock rooted. All I did was change the launcher to the Google Experience Launcher with OK Google. I really don't have any problems with them.

4.2 digital clock lock screen impression

Here is just a few impression of mine for using 4.2
Hope this thread will help somebody.
The first thing I notices after updating the 4.2 is the Nexus 7 digital clock lock screen.
the first number is bold and the rest number are not.
For example, if it's 4:22pm, the number 4 is bold, but the rest numbers are not. It's looks really ugly as my personal opinions.
Today the HD widget updated for 4.2, I can add 4.2 widget onto nexus 7 lock screen instead their ugly default digital clock.
I will post a screen shot later. Hope this help someone with the same problem.
Personal opinions on 4.2 update
Pro
Swype gesture keyboard is really good I think. I was going to buy the Swiftykey, but this gesture keyboard stopped me
Icons are smaller and I like it. Screen seem to be better I think?
Con
Don't like the bounce back notification ...it's annoying in my opinions..
Overall, the update is just "ok" for me~! not too good, not too bad.
I'm on stock, no root, so I don't really have a choice anyway!

Here is the original clock lock screen

Here is the screen shot
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I upgraded to JB 4.2 and thought the bold hour on the digital clock looked ugly.
To fix:
I force stopped the Clock app.
I deleted /system/app/DeskClockGoogle.apk and /system/app/DeskClockGoogle.odex .
I deleted /data/data/com.android.deskclock/databases/alarms.db . You must delete your alarms to downgrade the clock.
I download the DeskClockGoogle.apk attached to this post and put it in /system/app/
Rebooted my phone and the clock was back to 4.1.2 version.

GO Launcher HD for Pad

At last a proper launcher for tablets :good:
It still isnt as customizable as the phone version, but it is much better to use landscape mode, the screen not rotating all the time

Desk Clock

Anybody figured out a way to get the desk clock mode to work without a dock? My N2 would do it. Why would they remove something so simple and functional. Oh wait... they wanted to sell docks, because spending $800 on a phone that's supposed to do it all wasn't enough.
One of you smart guys need to figure this out.
Edit: Damn, I could have sworn I put this in Q&A. Mods please excuse my stupidity and move this where it belongs.
Okay, so I pulled the ClockPackage.apk, AccuweatherDaemon.apk, AccuweatherWidget.apk and AccuweatherWidget_Main.apk from an old Beans N2 ROM and put them on the N3. The good news is you get the desk clock with working alarm without the need for the dock. The bad news is the fonts are kinda screwy and the time displays over the calendar. If you can live with that, you can have your clock back.
Install the 4.4 kit kat clock... turn daydream on... Select clock... runs the clock in night mode whenever it's charging
Or...
Install the kit kat clock... Open ... hit settings... Select "night mode" ... for use when not charging
Pretty sexy clock ... and has screen saver functionality where it moves around the screen all night.

And normal mode works fine as well I suppose... just doesn't have many shortcut options like the older desktop clocks had

Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 new OTA (after 5.1.1 update)

A few days ago I was prompted with a new OTA update that was about 100mb. There were some stability fixes/battery life improvement, but it seems like there may be some new bugs.
Now when I have an app in windowed mode it seems to lose focus on the window app after just a second and you have to keep tapping it to navigate around.
I'll post a screenshot of the update info soon.
Yes, my tab pro 12.2 after updating with non reversible update had just gone wild. Please don't update it yet those incompetent bug fixer needs to chew some more bugs before they can fix something which was not broken at all. I don't know why they have to put their fingers where it don't belong. May be they have to show their bosses they are doing something great for the money they are paid.

Yeah I see that but it's hard to believe you wouldn't be able to odin back to any of the stock firmwares from sammmobile, I was told after updating to lollipop I wouldn't be able to downgrade to kk, but I tested that and it worked
