[Q] Strange list scrolling behavior - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear Friends,
When I am scrolling through lists (settings etc.) and I found what I am looking for consequently letting go out the screen to tap my option sometimes the list will start scrolling very fast to a different position when I let go out the screen.
It's sort of an unintended scroll.
Does this happen on your SGS3 too? is it normal? what can be done to avoid this?
Thanks

App to enable kinetic scrolling for windows mobile apps on HD2

Hi guys
I've got an HD2 Stock ROM 1.66 WWE. I'm trying to find an app which allows me to enable kinetic scrolling for a number of windows mobile apps, rather than applying text selection and having to use the scroll bar on the side (apps like Epocrates, Skyscape and UptoDate). I find using the scroll bar painfully slow to be frank
I've found a solution of sorts in FtouchSL (using v2.10). Unfortunately this program has a default setting in that it automatically applies its own settings for all apps, and you need to manually enter any "exceptions". I've tried this out, but there are literally hundreds of exceptions I would have to add, and there are some things that don't seem to work at all (e.g. scrolling through favourites in the Internet Tab of HTC Sense after clicking the favourites soft-key on the bottom left, or trying to pick a lock screen tab wallpaper in settings).
I know these are relative small things, but I was wondering if anyone was familiar with an app which would allow me to enable kinetic scrolling for only select apps, rather than for all of them with me having to add "exceptions"

[Q] Lock screen shortcuts randomly stop swiping action?

I love the "swipe up an icon to launch that application" feature of the lock screen on the One. But I've noticed that (seemingly randomly) it just stops working. For instance, I'll grab the chrome icon and swipe up, and the phone won't register that I've grabbed anything, and the screen just unlocks. Rather than an icon floating with my swipe gesture -- the lockscreen just fades out and then the phone displays whatever activity was open when the screen was turned off (almost like I've grabbed the lock icon, though I haven't). Has anyone else experienced this? And how can i get it to go back to the default behavior?
Did you install any kind of notifier that would display on top of the lock screen? I found out that after installing Notifierpro with accessibility services turned on it messed up the Sense lock screen.
I have posted my experience on a different thread and did not see your post. I just thought maybe you are experiencing the same problem.

Mine sorta does the same thing. Sometimes I will grab an icon (any icon for that matter) and it won register the swipe at all, It won't even bother unlocking and it wont register any swiping at all until I do one of two things
- I will have to hit the power button twice to sleep and wake the device then swipe to unlock
or
- Hit the Home or Back button then swipe to unlock
anyone experience this? hope this helps

Notification not going through on lock screen

Hi guys,
Not sure if this is another common bug, but it is getting a bit frustrating.
Whenever there are new messages coming through (say whatsapp, wechat, facebook messenger), there's no notification showing up under a lock screen.
I have already enabled ALL my apps for notification, even the right hand corner under notifications management -> Lock screen notifications -> display all notifications.
I have also tried to change a few themes already and it's still the same....
Is this a common bug for everyone? If not, is there any other ways i can fix this? Just scratching my head on this....
Thanks for the help!
Cheers!

If you mean the black AOD screen the answer is yes. Nothing shows up there expect the battery and music from the Huawei player.
If you mean the screen after that which allows you to use quick toggles the answer is no. That one works just fine.
My lock screen is set to magazine. Maybe that helps.

Mate 10 pro and protected apps

Please where is this function? And battery optimization permission.... Are same things ? Thank
From what I've been able to determine, there is no 'protected apps' menu option on Emui 8.
The place to adjust them is in - Settings - Battery - Launch. Personally I find Huawei's management way too agressive, so I turned off managing all automatically. Then in batch manually set everything to allowed and let Android sort it out. It doesn't seem to have made any difference to my battery life, but at least most notifications seem to work now. You could manually set only the ones you want to allow to run in the background though and it might help.
From settings - battery I also went into the settings icon top right and turned off the 'power intensive prompt' option because it was annoying - Google maps is SUPPOSED to be using frequent positioning, and my podcast app isn't much use if it isn't running in the background!
The whole power management seems to be designed for a phone with a tiny battery, where micro management is needed - but on a phone with the largest battery out of any flagship it seems needlessly aggressive....
Edit: It is also possible in the running apps/recent apps screen to click the lock icon on a program which is supposed to prevent Android from closing that app - but not sure how effective that is on EMUI.
Hello to all. I have installed in huawei mate 10 pro and I would like to use an application to notify gmail emails and whatsapp messages on always on display. use led blinker application that works properly when the phone is charging, while when it is without cable the notifications arrive only when I turn on the screen. I can think that it is a protection of consumption but I have activated all possibilities. could someone tell me what I could activate to solve this problem? thank you
This does exist. It's in the recent apps page (bottom left/right button, depending on your settings).
If you press the lock icon on an app it should "lock" the app from automatically closing.
It also prevents that app closing when you tap the recycle bin icon in the recent apps page.
This is exactly what I need, but I am running EMUI 9 on mate 10 pro and I cannot find this "lock"!! Yet I am sure I have seen it at some point in time... X-(
I just got the Android Pie/EMUI 9 upgrade last week and I found the lock by accident. When viewing your apps in the recents view, find the app you want to lock and drag it down towards the trash icon. You should now see the lock icon for that app at the top, and it should be protected from clearing recents. Clicking the lock or dragging it down again should toggle the lock.
On recent apps list, slide down the app window to lock - lock pad on top. Slide again to unlock

Multiple issues.

I was wondering if anyone had solutions to any of these issues:
Double clicking the "recents" button doesn't go the last app, it just acts like I hit the home button once, minimizing everything. Likely fixed by a software update (before 4/29).
The dual screen does NOT abide by my LG Game Settings for apps (resolution and frame rate). I have games set to lower resolution, but they always run at high resolution on the left screen. Even if I swipe an app with lowered resolution from the main screen to the dual screen.
When the phone is locked and I go to expand a notification but don't fully expand it, it slips back but my whole screen becomes unresponsive for a couple seconds.
Some apps have rounded corners from the screen and it's harder to see/click on things that are right in the corners.
Mostly importantly, I can't figure out how to get *any* sort of visual notification on my lock screen. When the screen is locked and off I get audio notifications for everything (messages, emails, etc.), but there is no visual indication whatsoever. The screen doesn't come on, light up for a couple seconds, show the notification appearing, nothing. AND I turned on the bubble notifications and sidelight options in App Notifications -> Notifications -> Brief Notifications. But neither of these works. SOLVED: Ugh, apparently immediately underneath those two options is a list of apps to apply this to. Which I guess is neat? I just want it for all apps. Either way, the default for this happens to be NO apps. So I enabled the apps, this one's solved.
NOTE: I am on the very first update version. I have updates disabled, as I usually do with phones, to keep it on the lowest revision for possible rooting purposes. So if any of these issues has been fixed by one of the (almost always useless) security updates, let me know. THANKS!
I had the same issue with the recent button, and I gave up after searching up and down for a setting or something. then it just fixed itself, which probably means an update. currently running most recent software updates.
Awesome, thanks, I'll mark that one as "solved" in a sense. I have access to a few other phones on the same Android version that don't have the issue, so I figured it was phone specific.
