Screen doesn't scroll through 360

Fiver8675309 · Apr 11, 2015

So I'm trying to explain the issue so bear with me.

If I want to go through my 5 screens with apps I have to go from screen 1-5 thern back 5-1 to get to the first screen rather than going form screen 5 to 1. It won't do a continuous 360.

It does this: 1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1

I want to go 1-2-3-4-5-1-2-3.

Make sense? I could do that on my S5 but not the S6. Is there a setting that will change this for me?

Yes, this sucks. This was one of the things I really liked about the Galaxy. The S4 and S5 can do this, but the setting seems to be gone in S6. We want this back - don't make it like a crappy iPhone, please.

I noticed the same thing. Never knew how much i used that "feature" before now. I first noticed it with the apps menu. The apps drawer would allow continuous swiping in one direction.

It's highly annoying and I can't believe they eliminated such a simple feature

The fast scrolling using the screen indicator dots is gone too. In fact touching a screen indicator dot no longer takes you to that screen. It just indexes over one screen at a time.

noticed that too - that for me is the most frustrating! I used that all the time!

Yes! I loved how on my Galaxy S5, when moving icons around the screens, I could just hover it over one of the little dots and it would take me to that screen. The S6 does not do this either

I think they took away this functionality to debloat the code for the S6. I am really hoping a future update at least gives us the option for these settings. It makes not sense to me to have a top of the line smartphone that is missing ease of use features that were previously available on lesser models. Its a PITA to swipe 6 times or tap the indicators 6 times to get from screen 1 to screen 7.
