scroll capture works great everywhere except in the Messages app. it does a tiny scroll then won't scroll capture anymore.
for anyone who isn't familiar when you do volume down + power to take a screenshot, at the bottom it offers "scroll capture" so you can take a screenshot of a whole website or chat log.
does it fail to work for anybody else inside Messages?
Just tried, doesn't work for me either on Nougat. Well that sucks, never noticed that before.
Was working on nougat and now on oreo too.

Tested this again. Scroll capture works for me on the main list of recipients but if I go into a text & try scroll capture it does not work. Cleared app data for Messages & now it's working fine.
After clearing app when I opened Messages it asked if I wanted to set text limits. Which reminds me, I don't have mine set to delete old messages (limit 200 for sms). I remember running into funny issues before, texts would fail to send & something else. Deleting the ones I had with way more than 200 in them would fix the issue. Not sure if this scroll capture issue is related.
did anyone ever figure out why it does not work
I am having the same problem. I will take a screen shot and hold down on scroll capture and it will only move just a little bit in the text message but if I take a screen shot and use the scroll capture on the internet it will work fine. Does anyone have any solution to this? I have a Samsung galaxy s 8 plus.

I am having a problem with my Note 5 on Verizon and want to see if anyone else is having the same issue. if you pick up the stylus and choose Screen Write, and then switch to another application, there is no way to get back to your annotated screen earlier. Can anyone confirm that this is the case. Samsung support says it works fine.
I can't do it either, not without multi window.

So does anyone know how to fix it? That is kind of a problem particularly when the Note 5 is for taking notes..... Otherwise what is the point??
Scratch that, can't do it with multi window either.
I did it. I opened chrome, pulled out the same s-pen, and started screen write. Then using lmt launcher I opened messages. Using the back button to get out of messages took me back to chrome with the screen write still active.
I think the problem is once the screen is cleared which happens when choosing recents or going to the app drawer, screen write gets cancelled.

Does it work with the standard launcher for you?

No because that requires clearing the screen, which clears screen write.
Just save it in the Gallery. You can open the Gallery and annnotate til your hearts content. The Gallery is Multi View so you can reference other apps at the same time if you want to. I use Screen Write to capture something interesting for business or funny/cute to share with friends. The former I save in folders in Scrapbook and the latter I MMS or e-mail. So for me it's not broken.

If you save it to the galery, and you write and have to switch again, then you still lose the contents. It seems to me more like a bug rather than a feature particularly when that is supposed to be the purpose of using it for annotation.
My plan was to use this for feature for meetings. You are going over the agenda etc. and then you want to take notes on top of an existing document and then save it or share it to Evernote etc.
I use S Note for everything you described. That's what it's designed for. Screen Write is for quickly capturing and annotating something. It's not even a persistent app which is why it goes away when it loses focus. And what difference does it make if you annotate<>save or save <>annotate?
I have a Note 5 (model SM-920V), android 7.0..
Today I started getting a blue screen after making a call, it shows " Call Reminder" at the top of the screen, then gives a time saying "00:00 This Call Was Successfully Identified", a name for the phone number that is slightly different from my contact info, then shows an Ad at the bottom.
I have not downloaded anything new on my phone recently, I tried using CCleaner, and Lookout apps and they haven't been able to remove it. It's there anyone who knows what app this is malware from or how it was installed on my phone??
Getting an error when trying to add the screen shot...
Same on Galaxy 7 - how to get rid of it?

Blue screen Call Reminder issue
hi dear could you get any solution for this issue???
My issue is stemming from the GO SMS Pro application. I have a Samsung S7 and tested this by first disabling Notifications and all permissions for the GO SMS Pro app. After this, the annoying blue screen Call Reminder stopped coming up. Once I gave Notifications and the Permission for that app to use "Phone" it returned. I currently don't know how to specifically disable this feature while still being able to use the GO SMS Pro app as I did before, but I can tell you that it is frustrating. Hopefully some really nice and smart person reads this and figures it out
Thanks
I THINK I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!! Go into the GOsms messaging app. Choose the far right icon (mine looks like a person). Choose "General" then scroll down to "Other." One of the options is "Phone Number Recognition." Turn it OFF!!!!!!! I think that fixed it for me!
Issue resolved
I had "vault" app which was creating this problem. Disabled all it's access from settings->apps>app permissions->
The blue screen is gone now.. my device is one plus 3T
Anyone else using Textra on the Note8 not seeing a way to attach files to text messages? I'm a beta tester, so I left some feedback for the Textra devs, but I wanted to check here to see if anyone experienced this and found a resolution:
Next to the text input box, theres a +. Tapping that icon should pull up recent pictures and a bar across the bottom allowing me to select gif, pictures, etc. I used this app on my Note5, and my husband uses it on his Galaxy S6. On the Note8, however, tapping the + only bring up an emoji selection box. I've checked all permissions and did the standard clear cache/reinstall stuff to troubleshoot. Before anyone brings it up, I can go to a picture in my gallery and share that way, just looking for a solution to attaching while still in the Textra app.
i get this when i hit the + on the non beta
Thanks, bub. For some reason my nav bar appears to be covering that bar.

Nope
If you turn the phone to landscape then the options to attach pics and gifs show up. It's annoying but it will do for me until a fix is pushed out.
Same issue here. I wish there was a way to get rid of that big ugly nav bar when the keyboard is open. What is Samsung thinking with that eyesore?

I'm actually having issues receiving MMS messages. Some playstore comments from note 8 users are saying the same thing. Sent something to the developers today. Figure they'll be seeing it on Monday.

Thanks for replying, duders. If you haven't already, email the devs and let them know.

Have you rebooted your phone recently? I hadn't since I got it last week. Was going back and forth with Textra support (in a positive way) and then I thought to rebooted...and textra worked fine. I felt stupid for not thinking about doing that. Might help, won't hurt.

Yeah, I've rebooted a few times. It's an issue with the soft navigation a buttons covering the attachment bar. App dev things. [emoji17]

Does textra work with advanced messaging yet?
I was trying to get some screenshots of the issue and how the bar shows only in landscape mode. Apparently Bixby commands force portrait mode and get hidden by the emoji list. Likewise, I tried with the SPen but the air command menu also gets covered and I'm unable to interact with it.

I dont believe so.
We are also having issues with sending a Live Message (MMS) from textra. My wife and I are both, begrudgingly, using the stock messaging app until Textra gets this fixed.
T-Mobile is good tho...

I chatted with a textra rep and she stated rcs does not work on T-Mobile .
However i am able to send live messages direct from textra to another phone i have. That phone is also on T-Mobile so it seems T-Mobile have no issues with sending /receiving gifs/live messeages...

Same here I just tried googling some help and found your post. Textra doesn't play nice with N8
Not everyone is having the issue.
Maybe specific to beta testers on beta firmware or/and carrier specific nonsense.
T-Mobile user here and textra is working fine in seeing the tool bar and sending in/receiving gifs and such.and im not the only one that is having success, so its not totally fair to say this app is failing everyone.
There is a workaround from Textra.
Settings > Display > Navigation Bar > click the text under Show and Hide Button > turn off Textra
They are working on a fix.

Hello,
Has anyone figured out how to get Edge Lighting and the bubble notification at the top to work with the Android Messages app? It worked fine with the stock Samsung Messages app, but I cannot get it to work with the Android messages app. I changed the setting within Edge Lighting to be enabled and have the Android Messages notification set to urgent, but still no luck.
Appreciate any help!
Thanks
From my experience not all the apps are edge lighting compatible, including gmail, youtube and many other applications... I can not tell you why but I think it has to do with how each app send notifications.
Maybe smarter people can give you more technical explanations ?
Works fine for me, although I use textra as my messaging app. I have Google messages and occasionally switch back to it, but wanted to test it for you
I can't upload a photo now for some reason

Thanks for your reply. I just tried some tests and it seems that the edge lighting works when my screen is on and I receive a text. But it does not work when my "Always On Display" is on. Do you notice that as well?
I have the Verizon version and also use Textra as my SMS app. I just sent a text from the wife's Note 9 and with mine on the AOD, I saw the small popup at the top and she lighting lit up. I tried to grab a screenshot, but apparently doesn't work on AOD.

my edge lighting has the option to work with screen off or on or both..did you check that?
Thank you both for the feedback. I have the setting set to Always (aka both with Screen On or Off) but it does not work with the screen off (AOD).

I am having the same issue. Didn't work when screen is off. With or without AOD, it doesn't work at all. Only on screen on I see it no problem.

Glad to know it's not just me. Perhaps this is something that Google can fix with an update? I submitted feedback via the app.
Hi wondered if anyone can help I've got an intermittent but increasingly regular issue. When I click on links in emails, Google search app and other apps I get screen flickering and an "open with" box come up at the bottom. The only option in it is android system but the screen just flickers until I close all recent apps. Annoying me to the point of returning the phone so thought I'd post on here. I've tried to attach a screen shot and screen record file on here but even though I can select files nothing shows up here when I select them. About done with the bugs on this phone. Not worth it.
