Searching for apps doesn't work as attended

[MaartenB]

Hi all

I’ve noticed something weird when searching for apps in the searchbox. When searching for an app and selecting it, it opens a completely different app. It seems as if it selects the app that’s in that spot when not searching for anything.

This happens when I search for an app and select it as fast as possible. If I wait a second before selecting it opens the app I’ve searched for. This could suggest it’s a simple animation glitch/bug?

Does anyone have the same problem? If so did you fix it with some kind of setting?

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Does your problem resemble this one?

FP5 App Search on opens another App

I also have this issue with FP5 and figured how to reproduce it: 1 Go to app listing / search 2 enter something to search app 3 pick app 4 when in app, press backwards button 5 you get back to app listing / app search 6 Now if you press any of the apps it will open app with wrong index lets say with out search you have linkedin as first app, you search teams, go teams, and the use backwards button to get back to search. Now you press teams again and it will open linkedin even though icon…

Disabling the animation did fix it for me.

Seems the UI (Animation) is so slow it will open the first app of the default app list.

At least this is what happened to me

Thanks, that also works for thr FP5 issue!
Seems like it’s an error they have been carrying from FP4 already.

Nice

I prefer the quicker refreshing without animations anyway

Hi OldRoutard

Thanks for the reply! No not really it’s really more like an animation bug.

Hi joe.is.asking.3

Thanks for the advice, I’ll try that!

Bug report:

Fairphone 6 with Android 15, not rooted, just factory settings.

Reproduction:

Open the app drawer and check which app appears first.

Start typing in the search bar and quickly click on the first result. If you’re quick enough, the app that launches will not be the expected result, but rather the first app in the app drawer that was in that position before you started typing. Note that the app icon you click on is the correct search result, but the app that launches isn’t. It seems like the rendering is faster than the underlying logic.

This is annoying if, like me, you often use the search functionality. I often launch the first app in the app drawer instead of the app I searched for, even though I clicked on the correct app icon.

I’ve moved your question here, a solution is offered in post 3 above.

In English, go to

Enable Remove animations.
