App sort in folders - Stock Launcher - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I couldn't find anything about this by searching, so here goes. Has anyone noticed the sort order of apps in folders on the home screens of the stock launcher changes from time to time? I have several folders with apps in them on my home screen. Every once in a while I will open the folder and the sort order of the apps will be scrambled. Later on it resolves itself. I haven't been able to determine a specific scenario that might be causing this yet. I'm stock rooted on ZV8.

I've noticed it as well, I haven't even tried to figure out why.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one. Looks like it's a problem across carriers as well.

N8010 4.1.1 DBT recent apps problem

Hey guys,
I was wondering if any of you also have this "bug": I kind of get the feeling this happens once in a while, that when I press on the most bottom recent app, or any other recent app in this matter, that it starts a different recent app which is not the one I klicken.
Example: I touched peel smart remote and Facebook comes up?
Infos:
I know about the bug when Samsungs are plugged in, and no it wasn't plugged in
I'm rooted (exploit)
Had reboots
Came from oldest stock ics Rom to this jb Rom via odin
This is not a ultra consistent problem, but it is annoying when it happens =p just wanted to see if there is a common solution or if anyone else is experiencing this?
Greetings sysl0rd

I've had the same thing happen. I thought it was just me clicking on the wrong app initially....until I read this post. Hopefully Samsung know about all these weird bugs and complaints, and are doing something about it.

I've just been messing around with the recent apps tab trying to replicate the problem. It seems that if I hit the recent tab icon and then choose an app too soon after it pops up, it will occasionally open a completely different app to the one I chose. If I leave it for a couple of seconds it always opens the right one.
Not a big deal.....but still shouldn't happen.

Gallery issue?

Hi guys, I've been searching the Web for a while now for this problem and I hope I'm not the only one with it. But since yesterday when I'm on gallery the preview at the bottom of the screen doesn't disappear! If you play a video the play buttons don't go anywhere either. Is there anyone else with this issue?

Yep, same here. I was about to make a thread for it, but found yours. The preview at the bottom, and toolbar at the top NEVER disappear, no matter what I've tried. Also, when making photo selections, a woman's voice tells me that the "check box is checked" I can't find that setting anywhere either. Super annoying.
What the deuce?
Haha even restarts don't help =/ and yeah the woman is hilarious but creepy! I would love to ask Samsung but would have no idea where to start!

Someone's gotta know a fix for this? I'm not aware of any other phone doing it...

I was having this exact same problem and finally figured out what was causing it, at least for me. I installed NoLED and turned it on under accessibility. I didn't realize the connection at the time but then I noticed that the top and bottom overlays in the gallery wouldn't go away. I also got the freaky voice, even when opening websites. Somehow I correlated the issue as to having started after I installed NoLED. After I uninstalled it my gallery sent back to normal. It was either an issue with the app or having given it access under accessibility. Hope this helps.

Gallery works fine on my S4. I have several 100 pictures on it in lots of different folders, and it works great for all of them. Video playback is fine too, FWIW.

Well I've had lightflow installed since day one... So I didn't even uninstall it, just turned it off in accessibility. Yup, gallery is fine now. Odd glitch.

same problem here...
it's not just lightflow, it's for every app that you activate in the accessibility menu
strange
That is pretty weird. Should of known it was light flow! Is there any way to report this to Samsung? At least we have found the fix. Thank you guys a lot!

How to change recommended shortcuts (Earphones)

Does anyone know how to change the recommended shortcuts (Earphones)? I would really like to beable to change these to what I want. I'll attach picture of what I referring to below.

I'm looking the same information ..if u know something please let me know
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
As far as I can see there isn't a way to be able to change those shortcuts. I saw a thread about this a while ago, and it seemed that they didn't find a solution either.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
I found that if you disable "PageBuddyNotiSvc 1.0" that they are gone completely. This is what I wanted though.
Same issue and not showing music player or a video player.
I think samsung need to think about this bug and solve it ASAP.

Its not a bug, it just shows your most frequently used apps.
My 2 cents,
After updating TuneIN Radio app, it was gone, and I find it handy to have it there. Since its based with the frequency of its utilization, what I did was to open and close the app repeatedly, untill it showed there Simple and efficient hehehe :laugh:

[Q] G2 incompatible with Aviate?

I just got an invite to try Aviate, but apparently it's incompatible with my G2. I do have a custom DPI set, so I wonder if that is the problem. Is anyone able to install it on a G2 with stock DPI? Or at all?
Edit: Okay, I tried going back to stock DPI, but the Play Store still says it's incompatible with my device. Don't know why Aviate won't install. I'm running CleanROM on an AT&T G2.
I am able to install it but obviously can't run it because it's invite. Also it lit up my malware checker. Tapjoy banner ads and another in App ad pusher

If you could find the apk you might be able to push it with root explorer. I have seen issues like this in the past with Roms. You could also try going to the play store on your on and send it to the phone. If your phone is reporting the version incorrectly than that won't work either

I did try sending it from the play store on my pc, but it is listed as incompatible on the Web play store too.

I running it on my stock rooted vzw. Only issue I see so far is the battery drains a little faster but not bad. Takes a bit too get used to.

It's working fine on mine. No issues whatsoever so far as I can tell.

If something on the internet is free, you are the product.

There are no ads in the app. False positive?

Maybe, or it could be for future use. Probably free and paid version. I am hoping to get an invite to try it

I have used it for couple of days. Today I installed a new ROM and restored it with GO Backup. As soon as I install an app from the Play Store I loose my settings in Aviate and cannot make a fresh install because of lack of compatibility. Before the last update It was definitely compatible with my G2. Strange. Anyone has a solution? I like it very much.
I tried Aviate & no problem at all. Using stock 4.4.2 rom.
Sent from my LG-D802
Here everything fine again. I received first class support form the Aviate team. Had to remove the app, and after reboot I could install it again from the Store. However, I needed a new code that arrived within 5 minutes.
I learnt that we cannot restore Aviate by a backup app: at the moment you open the Play Store it looses the settings. Maybe the incompatibility issue was caused by restoring through GO Backup as well.
Running stock KK and Aviate. No issues, but you lose the ability to use Knock, Knock, (Knock, Penny) to turn off the phone. Also, not all widgets work with Aviate. I personally like the Aviate launcher. The developers are very responsive and they publish updates regularly. The most recent added notification count badges to certain app icons. :thumbup:

SDext card in multiple spots

I noticed this when browsing through my videos on mx player. I've never known it to be found here, let alone twice. Easiest way to explain it would be to just look at the screens. Anyone else have this issue?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
that 'media-rw' folder you have has symlink(s) to the storage(or mnt) directories.
Like a shortcut to a directory.
That makes sense. I was thinking it was a shortcut. So, two things I think it could be is either folder mount, or Google+ backup. I didn't notice it before either of these, but I've since turned off backup. It's slightly annoying since all folders duplicate within my video player.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
So I'm going to do a backup and delete those shortcuts, see what complains about it. Anyone know?
