MultiWindow - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well I updated via KIES my Note2 yesterday and got multiwindow. My only problem now is, that it doesn't show up the 2 buttons for Fullsize and window switching, I just can change the size of the 2 windows via the bar in the middle. Anyone know how do I fix this?
Thanks!

Multiwindow..what you mean?

yeah this is how it works ^^^^
touch the flashbar (seems to be what samsung have named it) or even use it to resize the window slightly and the options to go fullscreen or to flip the screens should come up.

ISO a keyboard that toggles between the number and letters pads.

Anyone know of one? Each time use my spreadsheet app I have to change to the number keypad which is cumbersome. Thanks in advance.

Not sure that I understand the question, but I use Swift key x.
One of my favorite features is the fact that it toggles between the keyboard and a regular style number pad instead of the annoying top row numbers.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
Well, does it stay in either mode UNTIL you toggle back? As I mentioned it's annoying to have to always change to the number pad.

I tried it. Doesn't do it.

Try perfect keyboard. It is a GB like keyboard. You can set it up to use a split QWERTY in landscape mode with a 10 key in the middle. I use it on my tab and on my gs2. There is a pay version if you like it too.

I'll check it out. So far perfect keyboard with the split mode, a numeric pad in the middle of the qwerty is almost a solution but it's so small there in the middle it doesn't really work out.

Pre-installed Swype works like that. If I toggle to the numbers, it stays there until I toggle back to the letters.

Really? That's what I started with and have been struggling with. Maybe it's the program i'm using? I'm using documents to go... Every time I click on a cell I have to change to numbers.

Ooh....my bad. I mis-understood. I was thinking you were changing between numbers and letters in the same text input box. If you are changing cells then it wouldn't work like you want it to. It defaults to letters.

I agree it does get a little tight on the gs2...try this out on the perfect keyboard. Goto settings-tweaks- and toggle auto return to alpha and toggle numeric keypad on that screen. These will effect the portrait setup. Not sure if it will produce the desired effect when toggling between cells. Try to use the tab or next on the keyboard instead of touching the cell on the screen. I think that is what is resetting you keyboard. Or you may see if the t-9 setup will work.

+1. Is it even worth stepping back from jedi 6.1.2? The only thing I can think of is the better battery life of the stock rom over the custom ones if all we are getting is the multi windows software from this.

I've noticed that there are new ink colors for the pen on the lock screen. Also, it feels like haptic feedback is a bit weaker.
Anyone know if we can customize the toggles in the notification window?

Try under display. I see it on clean ROM, and someone said theyd noticed they were rearranged I bet they included that as well.
Don't see anything under display. Bummer I guess
For some reason the multi view is not working any more.
I got the little tab. . But when I click program like google mail and Chrome the open in full screen. It worked for a few hours but then it stopped. ..

Patching it using ExynosAbuse breaks the camera now, though.
Back Button does not activate multi-window
I am on stock ROM no rooting done at all.
After the update, tried to hold down the back button but will not activate the multi window.
I can only activate it on the notification bar.
Please advise and thank you.
I would make sure under settings that its enabled and if it is then try a reboot and renable the feature as I have two notes one which is stock and works just fine

How To Move MultiWindow Tab?

Somehow I moved my multi window tab and bar to the bottom of my screen and can't figure out how to get it back on the left side. Any ideas?
Open the tab to view the apps then click and hold the tab and you can move to the top bottom left or right

I'd recommend taking a look at CleanROM 3.5...Absolutely the best (stability, battery life, functionality, and ease of installation) ROM I've used. It has MWC (MultiWindowControl) which allows you to add any apps you want to MultiWindow.

If the white button on the spen gets jammed in, then it will act like a finger on the touchscreen when you hover
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
I haven't had the issue. I just touch the link with Spen and it registers as mouse click. My tip isn't sticking.
Some sites are a bit finicky about where you click when using a mobile browser in desltop, IE, Firefox, etc mode (non mobile or android). And if the link is in some flash player media, that can be hit or miss.
I would suggest trying another site like MSN or something to test the Spen. This should tell you if it's the Spen or just that site.

Thanks so much for this! I'm going to give this a shot. Not sure if it's really that useful/suits me, but it's always nice to have options.
I have been having some fun with this. Enabled the software keys, disabled the hardware keys, disable the back and menu button lights. Now it just looks like I have a sweet notification light area because you cant see those two buttons when they aren't lit up. I adjusted the pixel density all around to make is so I don't lose any app screen space.
The only issues I have are the icons on the launcher getting cut off on the bottom rows and the camera button is a little messed up, still usable, but there is a dedicated hardware button, so it doesn't really matter.
Now I just need to change the multitask button to a menu button and it will be pretty sweet!
there has to be an app that does this as well.
