Page Buddy doen't appear anymore - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do I restore Page Buddy? When I remove my pen it doesn't show up anymore.

Make sure it's ticked under display settings, or you've moved to another launcher, in that case there won't be any Page buddy.

well for me it is really useful when browsing...and you click a link that opens in a new window, then you can have this new window in a pop up browser while having the main browser running in background, if you dont enlarge the pop up you can see both pages...
sorry for my bad english
Im trying to use a shortcut creator to open the pop up browser but can't find the app. Any of you know what it might be called? Thanks!
ps - popup is great for watching youtube while doing other things. will do for now since t-mo didn't get the update.

[Q] Stupid Question.. I need help on

Stock Note 2.. up to date..
for some reason I cannot find my email Icon. I just started a new job and we have to use exchange. I set up the email account via Sync accounts..
Now here is the kicker.. I cannot find the EMAIL icon in any grid to place it on my home screen. I looked into Settings... App Manger.. All and there is an icon there for it. .But for the life of me I cannot find it anywhere to add it to my home screen for easy access..
Anyone know how to magically make the icon reappear on my phone with out having to do a wipe?

I assume you are on the TW stock launcher? If so, try this: touch and hold empty space on home screen... select "Apps and widgets".... under Apps tab, select "Email". There's also an Email widget on the Widgets tab
The widget works.. but I am just looking for the email Icon.. I cannot find that little guy any where..
Is it hidden or disabled

It could be. ..how do I enable it unhide it?

Go to your app drawer then tap your menu soft key. The show hidden apps is at the bottom of the list.
There are no apps currently hidden... it never showed up in the app drawer this way. ..

If you can set up your email and you have a widget that works I sure do not see how you could have lost your email icon. Did you tuck it away in a folder? Post screen shots of all your app drawer pages if you do not mind.
Here you go.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
That is weird. The only odd thing I noticed was that you have two gallery icons. The only thing that looks like email appears to be Microsoft's icon. Are you running any icon packs.
Everything is stock. ..no packs what so ever.

If you're rooted, go to /system/app folder and see if you have "SecEmail.apk" or "SecExchange.apk". If you do, you can try reinstalling the apks. If not, you need them. Easy to root if you're not.
Not rooted.... still can't figure it out. .. The icon does show up for ways to share attschments etc. ..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Install a file explorer that will allow you to get to /system/apps then tap on your SecEmail.apk, you will have to enable unknown sources, it should try to install the email apk. I do not know for sure if it will install or not and it may not even help. Reset your security setting for unknown sources if you want afterwards if you like. I have heard that some Samsung apks cannot be installed after initial boot.
It starts the install...but it does not complete it. I have astro by the way.

Chat heads for FB Messenger, anyone get it to work?

So the update came out and know quite a few people talking about it. If you update Facebook and messenger you now get this option without having to use Facebook home. Anyone get it to work? If you go to settings and notifications there's suppose to be a check box for chat heads but I'm not getting one
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
When you bring up the person you are chatting with, long press on the conversation and then you will see the option to bring up "pop up chat head"
Forgot to mention chat heads only work on Facebook messenger.

I had to uncheck 'Hide Statusbar' in Apex for it to work correctly.

This does not work for me. I've tried long pressing everywhere. I'm assuming if I don't have the option to turn it on under notification settings that it won't work for me at all.
I'm running 2.4.2 I've restarted the app and phone several times and reinstalled too

Open messenger,, then when the window comes up on the top left hand side should say messages.make sure that your settings allow pop up heads.
You do this by going into settings on the actual messenger app, then click on notifications, , then check "chat heads"
Now go back to messages window and hold down a conversation that you already have going.
On the conversation window that comes up tick the pop up heads option.
There you go hope that helps

I have the same problem as everyone else. I read somewhere that it has to do with the actual Facebook account.
Try to sign out of your account and then sign in to a friends account on your phone and test it out.
My long press selection options
Jayv81 you are right. It is related with the account. I key my gf sign into her account on my phone and the chat head option showed up. WTH! as soon as she log out, the option is gone.

I found a modded app that works. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232307
I tried this one and it works just make sure and un install all current Facebook apps. Also I'm not a fan of the Facebook home and I uninstalled it after testing the linked method. And it still works.
All credit goes to theos0o

Slightly off-topic, but does anyone know how to un-stack the chat heads that pop up? I can see the multiple chat heads for each thread when I drag the circle, but they're all stacked and attached to each other.

I don't think you can unstack them.
Try Logging In To Facebook Application.It Worked For Me
If you're using CyanogenMod or any custom ROM....
Find your device full specifications on google and look for its original PPI pixel density or resolution.
download an app on playstore like 'screen resolution changer' and change it to its original resolution.
Hope it works

Gallery layout?

Hi everyone. I have searched for this but could not find it anywhere so need to ask. ... I have an issue with my gallery it displays photos on my device and on Google Picasa as default. I want to change it to photos on device only and have done so in the settings but it keeps reverting back every time you leave the gallery and go back in. Does anyone know how to change it permanently so that it only displays photos on device as default?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2
You don't go to settings to do that.
Open the gallery, press the menu key on your phone and a menu will pop up. Select something like "Select Albums" and from there on you are on your own because I don't have my phone atm.
I went through this today. You have to shut off picasa sync under your google account in the settings menu. Then go to app managment and clear data for the gallery. The picasa stuff is cached so it wont disappear. I was pulling my hair out trying to get it to go away.

Clear Frequently called list

Is there an option I'm not seeing? I tried to remove a number but I just deleted the contact and put it back. Anyone know how ?
Sent from my SM-N930V using Tapatalk
If your not talking about a lot of numbers in recent list. Too right menu. Click delete there and click on the ones you want to delete
Sent from my SM-N930V using Tapatalk
go into the Phone option and on top right by "Create" there is the 3 dots and I had it under there one time... now I'm trying to do it and its not there so maybe check in that area. I have done it though and thats the area I've went to.
long press the record you want to delete. A check box will appear. Then top left press delete
I am pretty sure the method above deletes the contact altogether. I am having the same problem as op.
If your on recent tab it says "Filter By" not "Create".
