Since the new Snapchat update, I can no longer use the coloring tool. Doing so turns my photo into a video, which can't be opened or viewed by the people I send it to.
My friends that have unrooted, stock OS Galaxy s4's are having no problems, so I'm assuming the problem is coming from something I've installed. Are any other S4 users here having similar problems? Any solutions?

Like the title says I bought a S4 I9505 days ago, coming from the S3, but been disappointed because, between other issues, my browsers freeze and sometimes crash.
Any suggestions how to fix it? Anyone with the same symptoms?
Cheers
Hi XDA,
First, my setup:
i9500 16GB - Exynos Octa Core
WanamLite XXUEMK8 V3.4 Android JB 4.3 Xposed - Adam Kernal 3.5
Using GEL as a Launcher and disabled KNOX warnings through Wannam Xposed
**If you need more info I can be as detailed as possible
Ok now to the issue. Is it only me or is it an issue for everybody that when you're in Youtube App v5.3.24 and you're watching a video and suddenly you "minimize it" to continue scrolling different videos or doing several other options, the video window minimize animation is PLAIN BLACK. I mean, if you hold your phone vertically (portrait) you can see the video playing without a bug, then you slide the video down "minimizing it" and while you're doing that, the video window is plain black until you reach the end of the animation in which the video window displays the video again. Do you suffer from the same?
I didn't noticed until I was messing around with a Nexus 5 from a friend of mine and noticed how smooth everything was there, and youtube was smoother than my S4 (which should at least be on the same level as the N5) and during the whole minimizing animation the video was visible in the video window.
Is there something to fix it?
Everything else works fine on my phone but that really bugs me.
Thanks for your help guys!
P.S. You can see that in the pic attached. There was a video running while I was doing that...
FYI
Just for you guys to know. I tried this also on a stock S4 i9500 running android 4.2.2 and the problem was still there, so I think it's either Samsung or Google incompatibility what's causing this graphical bug.
I also had the same problem with my galaxy S II, and I've also seen it on the galaxy S III (JB), galaxy note 10.1 (JB) and the Motorola Xoom (ICS), all with stock roms. I thought it was an issue with touchwiz until I saw it on the Xoom. It was fixed for me when I installed a custom 4.4 rom on my SII, but I still don't know what causes it :/
Im also suffer from this issue with my I9500 any solution ?
Bought my note 3 in December and was generally very impressed, well, until I started to record video. One of the main reasons I bought the 3, was I was ahppy owner of the original note, and have always liked Samsung phones, and had read it was a great flagship phone.
I hve notice these horizontal bars that flicker across recordings, its very frustrating, as I use the camera and video a lot. Its more evident in video, but does sometime show up on stills.

I originally thought maybe a software update would fix it, but ive now gone from 4.3, to 4.4 and now 4.4.2.. and the problem still happens.
Not impressed! Samsung have asked me to send phone in to be fixed, but Ive asked them to review the vids and assure me it can be fixed, before I send the phone in!
Wifi is the main cause of this problem turning it off solves the problem, and turn off auto network switch aswell in advance wifi settings.
It a software problem as it doesn't do it with other camera apps only Samsung own.
I purchased Galaxy S4 black edition 20 days ago and updated the same to lollipop. I had faced the issue described below is in kitkat version also.
The issue is identified only while using 2G(GSM only) internet connection. The issue is that, the screen falshes/blinks just for a second while using any application. If the phone is in idle state, the display turns on during this. If the keyboard is on while happening this, it just closes the keyboard. It seems like the UI is just refreshing.
Anyone out here faced an issue like this? Please suggest a solution for this!
Screen recorded video of the issue.

Help! Video on my snapchat not working.
Hi, Everyone I'm not sure if this the right forum to ask for help, but I've been googling this problem like crazy over the past few days and I cant seem to find the answer. Bear in mind, I'm a bit of a noob.
So I've got the Note 3 (N90005), and running on 4.3, rooted with towel root. I'm running the latest version of snapchat, and taking pictures, watching videos on snapchat works fine. However for some reason, EVERYTIME I try to upload a video snapchat it crashes! The program just closes without warning. I've made sure I have enough space on my phone, and video uploads work fine with instagram.
I'm just not sure what's going on with snapchat.
The only thing I havent tried is upgrading to kitkat or lollipop. But I've already rooted my phone, and I'm a bit hesistant to go through the hassle of unrooting just to upgrade. But I really want to resolve this issue, so if you think that's what I should do, I'll do it. But wondering if there was a possible alternative?
Would love your advise!
Getting it too.
Bump. I'm getting it too. Using Note 3, android 4.3, rooted. Snapchat has had many updates since the first post, and the issue is still present. No idea what causes it. Help would really be appreciated. Thanks!
The easiest way to fix this issue is to upgrade to either KitKat or Lollipop. Also you can't record videos on kitkat or jellybean with Snapchat, that is the reason why it is crashing. You need lollipop to record with Snapchat.
