Multi-window buttons disappeared - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello people,
I'm a long time lurker and first time poster
I got my GN2 a few days ago and absolutely love it. The only problem is that when I use the multi-window function, I don't see the "fullscreen" and "switch screen" buttons anymore. They were there when I got it, but they somehow disappeared.
I checked all the settings, but I can't seem to find a way to re#enable them.
I feel kinda noobish.
Anyone had the same problem?
Thanks in advance,
TG

I'm guessing you are tapping on that bar in the middle to make that button appear?

Hi folks, holding down the back button seems to make the multiwindow tab reappear. ..hope that works for you

The switch and full screen options appear whenever you resize the windows. Try moving the bar in the middle up or down and they would appear.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

It didn't work before doing any of the above...
Now I just flashed a new firmware and everything is well
Thanks for the hints though

hold the back key will show/hide the multi- screen

Thank you very much for the hint.
i found out after your hint that holding the back key will show/hide the multi-screen option. so you can see the small blue button on the left side of your screen.

Damn. .. gone are the days people used to read the manual

try http://www.appbrain.com/app/app.lockenabler
That was superquick. Thanks. I saw it in the market but from the screenshot I thought it is doing something else. Although not locking immediately, but hey, its free and thanks again.
yeah.. it doesnt happen immediately.. its some android security restriction.. i was using that widget for sometime until it started acting up.. my screen used to turn off every 3 seconds even when i was using it normally.. but its working for some ppl just fine..
get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765081
AutoRotate Switch (On/Off)
Screen off by konreu is really good but it is not free. I've tried lock enabler but it has an irritating habit of randomly setting my screen timeout to 3s.

Sorting facebook posts

I've got a strange problem with the Facebook app on my GNEX. Everyone I know has a button in the top right corner of the screen to choose either Most Recent Posts or Top Stories whereas I have a button which takes me to Find Friends. Anyone else have this or know how I can get the sort button please?

Same issue here, and its driving me nuts. I have version 1.9.8. my GF has the same version. Shes got the sort button and I've got the stupid search friends button. Im also missing the sync contacts option in settings that she has. Any Ideas?
I figured it out!!! The automatic time setting was turned off on my phone and the time was a few min behind. Changed that and Fbook was back to its usual self.

[Q] Viperrom Stuck in full screen mode -Status bar and bottom hide until I swipe

Stuck in full screen mode -
The Status bar and bottom bar auto hide. until I swipe to bring them back. How do I disable? On viper rom.
Wrong place to post. There is a thread for ViperROM believe it or not.
I wasn't certain it was because of viper rom, as I can find no relevant setting in Venom tweaks to fix this. Is there a core Android setting for this? I've searched extensively and found nothing.
I believe this is in the right forum now.
any ideas?
ok well... strange that my android started going full screen on viperrom suddenly and no one knows how to change it back. guess it's time to wipe and start over.

I know this is kind of an old thread, but I just had the same problem. I think I put it in fullscreen mode while it was in my pocket and couldn't figure out what was going on for about 2 hours. For anyone else that encounters the same situation, here's the solution:
Press and the power button. At the bottom of the "Phone options" window that pops up is the Fullscreen mode option.
Also found that when I take it out of fullscreen mode, I have to reboot it to get the Status Bar to stop auto-hiding.
Thanks
you're a life saver,
i dont know i missed that out, i rebooted the phone a dozen times and scoured the venom tweak settings for hours to no avail
thaks again

buddy_lee - You're awesome. Thank you. I'd been dealing with this for a few weeks and it was driving me insane. I"ve looked through every setting on the phone, viper, and nova and couldn't figure it out. Can't believe how simple it actually was.
THANK YOU
Thank you so much!! I was crazy because cannot find out why my navigation bar auto hide, for about 2 hours. You are my hero.
I just register as a new member for comment and thank you for your help buddy_lee

[Question] Galaxy s9 Vibrate and Screen On`

Hey guys,
New S9 user here and having an issue with it. Clearly I'm not using the correct keywords, otherwise I'm sure it would have been an easy Google, but I can't, for the life of me, word it in any way properly. Been living with this issue since I got it and I hate it!
When I have my finger on the bottom part of the screen while it's in my pocket, when I take it out of my pocket, it'll do this short vibrate and then the screen comes on at the lock screen.
I've disabled screen always on.
I've disabled Samsung Pay while screen off and even at lock screen.
I'm not really sure what else to try.
Thanks!

Sweet! Thanks!
I only had the Hard Press option enabled. Now disabled. We'll see if that fixes my annoyance!
Mucho gracias!

It was doing it to me too, take my phone out of my pocket and the screen was already on... Then after I noticed it happening regularly I did some investigating too and discovered that setting, was never something I would use anyway so off it went
The above only partially fixed my issue. I was getting weird, random vibrate when I picked up my phone.
It's the most annoying feature ever! It is called SMART ALERT.
Search it. Disabled it. Profit.

Disable HiSearch Notice

Hi there I have recently brought the mate 20 x and so far the phone is great but there is an annoying feature that I can't seem to switch off and disable.
On the home screen when you swipe down this Hisearch Notice screen pop up and you can everywhere or cancel (I cancel as it asks for to much info). This makes having screen widgets impossible to which I use lots of as in the widget when you scroll down this notification still pops up
Does anyone know how to disable this feature would really be helpful
Thanks
