Nova launcher wallpaper problem and fix

Nova launcher has parallax scrolling, and for now there are problems when setting a wallpaper that can be either fixed or mitigated.

Nova developers explained Samsung changed something in an API.

Solutions:

* Rotate into portrait mode, Not Landscape, Nova launcher is now in portrait mode, then hold empty place at Nova start screen. Setting wallpaper will pop-up. Set the wallpaper from gallery while being in portrait mode for launcher only. Then you have a proper and right wallpaper in both portrait and landscape. At least it works here.

* For parallax scrolling you unfortunately must wait until a real solution is out, but rumor has it you have to use a special modified image.

Setting the wallpaper for the Galaxy S5e tablet for now only works if you rotate into portrait mode while setting the wallpaper image. Otherwise you'll get black bars.

Previous solutions existed and explained to temporarily use Samsung original launcher, which does work but is not necessary with this mitigation.

I hope the parallax scrolling getting fixed too.

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to complately remove the pre intalled copilot nav program from the orbit 2. I dont like it and want to run tomtom and not have copilot take up space. Is there a way I can get rid of this via ROM? If so, how?

Hi all,

Received new Amazfit watch but the main needed function is not working. There is not showing caller name or at least phone number when someone is calling. just showing ''incoming calls'' and thats it. I have granted all possible permissions in phone and in Mifit app but nothing helps.

Is there any solution to fix it??

Hello community,

Please, please help me!

I have a problem with my S7.

I've tried a lot and need help.

No matter what I do, after a runtime of Android of about 24 hours, the smartphone restarts.

How do I find out which app is causing this?

Or is there a bad hardware problem?

Best regards.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Usman.Iqbal:
Hi. I've noticed this issue as well. I was on custom roms for Android 8 for the S7 (Exynos). The issue was that my phone automatically rebooted at random times. Maybe 1-2 times per day. I also had my battery replaced prior to rooting my phone and putting on a custom rom, and i heard the battery move in the phone when i shaked it.

So i flashed the stock rom via Odin, and its been 3-4 days and i haven't had the reboot issue since then.

I'm guessing that all the Android 8 roms we're getting have some issue in them, causing this issue. I've tried AOSP roms as well and they gave the same issue.

Try loading the stock rom. It's the same but with some bloatware (depending on your model, I have the L version, the Korean model).

I hope this helped.

Cheers brother.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] philip130683:
thanks for the note.

I installed the stock rom for dbt yesterday.

In addition, even magisk root goes through.

anyway the reboots.

I generated logs with syslog. Unfortunately, that does not matter.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Usman.Iqbal:
Don't go for Magisk in a stock rom. It's the same without it. I honestly can not tell the difference in performance, battery timing in the stock vs custom roms. Also, when i had custom rom for Android 7 on the very same phone, it never gave me the reboot issues.

Theres a lot of information in those logs and i don't think anyone is going to go through them.

Why don't you make a back up of your important stuff, flash the firmware again via Odin, wait a day or two, see if it reboots, then add apps one at a time over a period of days to find the problem?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] trohn_javolta:
Hmm.. I wonder if I have the same problem with my S7.

I have unofficial los 15.1 and reflux kernel installed now, didn't change PDA, CSC, modem or region.

I have random reboots, not after 24 hours, random once after closing gmail. Total maybe 3-4 times in a week.

Also occasional fast closes of apps.

Before tinkering with PDA, CSC, modem or region I'll try different roms.

Can anyone recommend more stable oreo roms, with ota updates provided?

Maybe I should have stayed with default los kernel? Just thought reflux is more battery friendly. That's also important for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
Brilliant!

---------- Post added at 11:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 AM ----------

No, your issue is different. 15.1 will always have some kind of bugs and it's not unusual to reboot from time to time, it's just the way it is with Lineage Roms, great Roms but some bugs. Always best to stick with the kernal that came with the ROM.

Anyways....stock rom obviously has OTA but if i remember correctly Resurrection Remix also has OTA and one or two others in the ROM section.

Just wanted to hear from people with experience of both phones on the network. Maybe one performs better then the other? I myself have the N9600 and it seems to perform on par with my pixel 3 XL however sometimes I don't receive calls. My wife tried to call me the other day and couldn't get a hold of me but then called thru messenger just fine. Other then one being able to root etc and other not so much, anything else?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] devsk:
settings -> system -> Advanced -> Developer Options -> System Tracing. Uncheck the Trace Debuggable Applications. Enjoy about 15% better battery life.

Make sure to have a before and after record of your battery usage, with same set of apps, and same pattern of usage over couple of charges (like 3-4 days), to see how this affects your battery life. So, don't just rush to make the change, measure it. Your numbers may vary compared to mine.

https://developer.android.com/studio/profile/systrace-on-device

Explanation. I don't know for sure, but I can't see any benefit to a non developer having this on.

I'd be curious if it's enabled in the background, or if triggering Dev setting turns it on.

My wife's phone doesn't have Dev on, but mine does. Not sure how I'd do a battery test short of running a stress test of some kind with both phones.

Anyone have an inside contact who would know if turning on dev enables it? Would be illogical to have it running without that right? No benefit...

I'm on a brand new 3xl and battery seems great. I just came from a V20 though, so hard for me to know if my battery is great or good...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lohanchien:
I read an article where someone was suggesting that enabling Dev options affects battery life. They did before and after tests (without actually changing any Dev options) and showed battery life was impacted. I have a feeling it might be because of this.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hilla_killa:
Lol fake news
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lohanchien:

I’ve had this for days and I can’t say it’s actually helping much . Ambient display drain is heavy; googles pie battery optimizations are poor on stand by mode. The biggest myth of all time is stock android is light hence the battery should last longer than a skinned version, this theory is dog sh$t. Google has marketed its battery savings like no other oem with a bunch of different names through out history such as project volta, doze, super doze , adaptive battery etc lol

Well spoken. As long as you use Google apps and play services it will be as it is. Turn off everything for stellar battery. I will not do it. I want to use the phone as intended. I will not sacrifice features for another hour of SOT or idle drain

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Zorachus:
I'm a big stock Android fan but I have to say the battery life on this phone is mediocre at best. I get like 5.5h to 6h SOT. Lately more like 5.5h when drained to 1%.

Is funny I've owned just about every Nexus phone and the pixel 2 XL and this 3XL and I can't say any of them have been stellar or amazing on battery life. Whereas a Samsung Galaxy phone, the larger plus models always seem to give great battery life, but I'm no Lagwiz fan.

Turned off Trace yesterday, after 1 day I've got 10-20% more battery left at this time than usual. Will take several days to see if it's really an improvement as my usage level varies, but so far so good.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rspkt:
I can confirm after using this since my initial post trying it that battery life has increased a fair bit and no adverse issues from the change. This is on stock February update with Kirisakura kernel. My smart lock also works just fine so not confident the issue another member posted is even related to this change. I'd say it's a win and good advice at this point. Thanks for the suggestion once again!

I didn't notice an improvement in battery life... Still testing the mod anyway,. I had this off since 2 days
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sliding_billy:
Running this change on both a Pixel 3 (stock Feb, rooted, ElementalX, no TWRP installed) and a Pixel 3 XL (dotOS Feb base, rooted, ElementalX, TWRP installed). Honestly, in a very non-scientific experiment I have seen no change. Both phones have been pretty inactive during testing of about 1 day, and straight % drain has been pretty consistent with before. It's certainly not hurting anything, so I will at least let it go until the March build is out. Very possible that the idle drain is less impacted than a heavy SOT user. The usage will pick up, and I'll look at the numbers more closely.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bishop0114:

Weird, why was this enabled by default.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bobbyphoenix:
I don't think it is. I think once you enable developer options it gets turned on. So for people like me who maybe don't want it on, but enable developer options just to hide the notch, this is good to know it's on, and can turn it off.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] CZ Eddie:
Yeah, I meant that it makes no sense it is enabled by default with Developer Options being turned on.

I've been turning on dev options hundreds of times a year since my XDA join date.

This must be something fairly new.

I can see no reason for any non-developer to leave this enabled.

Thank you for pointing it out, OP. :good:
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sliding_billy:
I have 2 devices with Android 8, one with 7 and one with 6. I looked at developer options, and while there were somewhat similar options, I only saw this setting on the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. I assume it is on other devices with Android 9 as well.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Seamonkey79:
Can confirm it shows on my OnePlus 6 running the latest Oxygen (9.0.4). Turned it off there, battery hasn't been as good since 9.0.4 was released, wonder if it's a 'new' deal where it's turning on with enabling Dev Options. Only have a couple of days before my 3XL arrives, though, so doubt I'll *really* have a chance to see a difference.

googles way of tracing applications and logs to prepare for the pixel 4
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] devsk:
I haven't had this good a battery life in on any phone (and I feel there is room for improvement because memory killer eating cycles unnecessarily killing processes when its not really truly under pressure, only to restart them few milliseconds later, is a big waste of CPU and memory bandwidth).

With my light use, my phone lasts me at least 3 days, many times 4 days. For the screenshots below, over 4 days, I had cumulative call time of ~30mins, whatsapp ~1hr, sudoku ~2hr, slack ~1hr, gmail ~1hr, some youtube videos, many google searches, firefox...i.e. very light use. I accumulated ~6hrs of SOT.

Its been cloudy off late, so, auto-brightness keeps the slider close to 40% or so. I also use dark theme (pitch black) on my 3XL. I also believe configuring swap helps with LMKD induced process restarts and with memory leaks (all leaked memory gets swapped out). I also only charge upto 93%, so charge to charge battery longevity variation is reduced.

I am pretty confidant that if I used my phone continuously non-stop, I can easily last 10-12 hours.

Just a quick report : after checking for few days, I can say turning off this option is useless. It has absolutely no battery impact at all.

But I remarked that the double-tap to wake up screen is draining battery like hell. I think it is the same with the option of waking the device once in hand.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jimv1983:
It's absolutely true. Especially when compared to Samsung phones. Look at the battery life of a brand new Galaxy S10+ compared to something like a Pixel 2 XL when it was new. The S10+ has a 2 generations newer processor and a 16% bigger battery. That means a new S10+ should have much better battery life than a Pixel 2 XL did when it was new. In reality that isn't the case. The real world battery life of the two is about the same. That's because of Samsung software.

---------- Post added at 09:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 AM ----------

I have a Pixel 2 XL and I had excellent battery life for the first 3 months. It dropped noticably for the next 3 monthly updates. Samsung software is a huge battery hog.

I wouldn't can that light usage. That battery life seems too good to be true. Even when my Pixel 2 XL was new the absolute best I could do was 9% battery drop per hour with similar usage to yours and that's with a lower resolution and bigger battery compared to the Pixel 3 XL. Even if you managed the same battery drain rate that's still 54% battery drained in the 6 hours of usage (which would be impressive).
