Hey guys
This is something new! Never seen it before! Anywhere!
After 4.4.2 update, my google chrome is having a problem.
I think the screen shot below is clear!
"Sooo, i cant upload pictures with my tab using chrome!!! This is another issue i guess!!!
The screen shot is a black screen, with a new tab icon only on top, whitch is not working, nothing else. Not a chrome logo in the midle, nothing"
It happens every time i run chrome, i have to end the app, (i have a commad for it in gmd gesture control)
Then remove it from recent apps then run it again to maks it work.
I unistalled all of its updates, cleared apps cash and data. Reinstalled updates, none helped.
In 4.2.2, when i opened the app, it used to show my favorites and i could open a new tab, or open my fav tabs.
Can anyone help?
Any suggestions?
After my S5 (non-rooted, official, knox 0x0) was updated to Lollipop, I've been facing the following problem:
Every few days all the app icons disappear from the apps menu. However, all the tabs that should contain them are still there, but are empty! Additionally, I cannot open any folder that contains app icons on the home screen. To add to that, when I click on the home-screen menu settings that should display the widgets, options etc. the screen does the zoom out effect but no icons/options appear; only an empty screen .
When that happens, I've tried switching to the "Easy Mode" interface option, which still works and thus I can access apps and settings again. If I switch, back to normal mode everything disappears once again!! :cyclops:
I've been able to fix this problem by going to the Application Manager and clearing the data/cache of the TouchWiz home-screen app, but every time I do that (second time today) I loose all home screen settings, widgets, icons order etc. and this is getting annoying!
-Edit 1-
Just found another way to solve this that seems to work:
1) Switch to Easy Mode
2) Restart phone
3) Switch back to normal mode and everything is back in place
-Edit 2-
OK, the above is only temporary; after a few minutes the problem came back!
Now added screenshots...
Anyone, with the same problem?
This is very very frustrating. The apps page shows apps that would work correctly in full screen, as well as those that don't. I have not changed the system settings. However, let's say on an app like snapchat, i don't see a full screen. Along the bottom of the page are the snap camera circle and news button. Even when I'm reading the news. I can't scroll completely down because of this. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app and the problem is solved for about 5 minutes before it goes back. I've also looked for a setting on snapchat that would change this and there isn't one. Please help!
Maybe some apps Don't support full screen
Edit: figured it out.
I downloaded a bunch of apps last night that required screen overlay (draw over other apps) permission to operate. I uninstalled all of them, but now when I scroll horizontally on my home screen of Nova launcher, this white transparent overlay pops up on my screen except over the status bar. It’s most apparent when reaching the far edges with infinite scroll turned off, where I can hold it in place. I have a screenshot, but I can’t post it yet. It’s on the Lgv20 subreddit though. It also flashes intermittently when I swipe anywhere horizontally. Swiping vertically to open app drawer doesn’t seem to trigger it. It disappears when I’m not touching the screen.
I had Flynx, Amaze browser, Flyperlink, chromer, Link bubble brave (from apks), Trine browser, Hermit, and swipe for facebook downloaded. I’ve since removed them but it’s still there. I’ve tried restarting a few times and ran the smart cleaning. I’ve also tried redownloading the apps, clearing data, force stopping, then uninstalling, but no dice. I’ve gone to the Special access>Draw over other apps section and disabled all third party apps I’ve ever downloaded, and I’ve also restarted Nova a few times. This hasn’t accomplished anything, either.
Other screen overlay apps I have installed include Simple Pie, Status, Directchat Pro, Lastpass, Airdroid, and Screen Filter, but these haven’t caused problems before.
Help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. The flickering is driving me nuts!!

Go into safe mode and see if it still happens. If not, you missed something.

Thanks for the reply. The effect doesn’t occur on LG’s default launchers, even outside of safe mode. Or at least I couldn’t get it to trigger. This is why I suspect this might have something to do with Nova, but I wasn’t sure. I’ll try reinstalling instead of just restarting. I rebooted into safe mode, and the effect wasn’t present, but I couldn’t test Nova.
figured it out. sometime in the process of installing/uninstalling apps and fiddling with the settings of the apps (some of which added icons to the home screen which was locked), some of my nova settings were altered. One setting I saw was that infinity scroll was turned on even though it supposedly isn’t compatible with the nova google now companion. Probably why it was glitching a ton and caused chromer to crash repeatedly when opening links from there (unsure). Some animations were also changed for some reason. I reloaded a nova backup I had and all was well.
Guys I really wanted to choose which apps show the content on the lock screen. Like for example the music all app controllers. But that is just achieved by enabling all notifications in lock screen. Well then I thought maybe I can go to wassap notifications menu to do not show on the lock screen, but there is no option in the app, as shown in some other oreo apps where there they have in notifications part to not show in lock screen, nor in any other pref. I'm not sure if it's because this is the oreo version of the s5 or why. Also I chickened to install the android pie.
Any app, tweak? Or something? Thanks in advance.
