I keep typing messages and in the middle of typing, the keyboard switches to the "one-handed operation" mode. I then have to go to settings --> one-handed operation and un-check the Samsung keyboard.. This happens a lot! is there an easier way to switch back to regular or disable one-handed altogether?
Put both fingers on the screen and swipe right to left to enlarge the keyboard and left to right to minimize

Mine does not come back with settings> one handed operation> all boxes unchecked. Try unchecked and then reboot.

Is there a way besides sliding the notification bar and clicking on the phone call item to go to the phone call status ? from a shortcut or a widget ?
I'd rather just press home and have it on the screen to return to it.
Would love that too. What makes it worse is when i go to swipe the notification bar, I invariably trigger the proximity sensor which turns off the screen.

or just hit the phone button at the bottom.
Your only other option is to open the dialer/phone app. Meaning, the stock/Sense one, not DialerOne or your replacement dialer.
I can root, install Roms, and all the other geeky ****..
Yet the most basic thing... Making a phone call.... I still cannot figure out..
Flashing over to another call
Three way calling (still cannot figure this out right)
getting back to the phone while in a current call.
Is there a hold button?
LOL

Exactly.
I'm running CM6 and the stock dialer you have to press something extra to get to the actual call.
I actually really dig the stock keyboard since it has a row of numbers (my thumb keyboard doesn't have that!), but one thing that drives me absolutely nuts is how while I am typing away I some how knock something to go into "one-handed mode." It totally throws me off. I then go to settings and manually uncheck it, but is there a way to stop it forever? lol.
Bro, tell me about it. This absolutely drives me nuts. I find that it happens when I hold the UP arrow.
Let me know if you find a fix.
Same here...wtf...I dont understand and can never reproduce the issue
Theres to places in settings that I could find that may be causing this for you.
Settings -> One handed operation
Settings -> Language and input -> Samsung Keyboard settings
I have it off in both places and its never switched once for me.
I randomly had the same issue and couldn't figure out how I did it or how to undo it. Finally, I went to settings》one handed operation, and unchecked everything. PROBLEM SOLVED LOL!!!

Both my settings have been set appropriately since day 1 (I dont like one-handed operation). Apparently, on the note 10.1, you can pinch the keyboard to change modes. Is this just a glitch in our phones because sometimes it does toggle the tiny keyboard on my note 2.
very random, super annoying...pleaseee samsung fix this issue, give us multi-touch, and pleasee autocorrect my damn messages already. those are my only 3 grievances. oh, and the slight delay with the home and/or power button when turning phone on and/or returning to home screen. am I asking for too much??
edit: fixed home button delay by disabling s-voice via double click... noticeably faster and well worth disabling
While it's not a real solution, the best option IMO is to switch keyboards entirely lol. I prefer the Gingerbread Keyboard and have been using it since my Epic 4G.

I'd be fine with switching the keyboard if I could get a number row like the stock one. I own both Thumb Keyboard and Swift keyboard and I don't see the option for either
Im so glad im not the only one this happens too I hate it but I love the keyboard with the full number row

I have unchecked everything like you mentioned. The kb still changes to one hand operation while typing.
I think to reproduce, you have to press t and v at the same time. To change it back to normal layout, press L and A simultaneously.
It does not work all the time tho.

Does anyone have a possible fix/explanation for this? It's really frustrating and would've switched to a different kb if it weren't for the number row

It has to do with the pinch shortcut to goto one handed mode.... you can do the reverse pinch to go back to two handed mode... but its hardbto do..
I guess its when two fingers hit at once and it thinks you are pinching...I hate it but can not find a.way to disable it..
Yes. Let me DITTO this. All settings turned off but it's the "pinch" gesture or whatever. SUPER ANNOYING.
Please, I need to be able to stop this completely.

I was suffering from the same issue and after reading all these posts I found that a simple pinch to zoom action on the keyboard area will quickly fix it but permanently disabling I don't know
works by pinch zooming
I can change back and forth between keyboards by pinch zooming in and out. Galaxy Note II on AT&T
Im pretty tired as well of this... you type away super fast, come too close, and BOOM the f***er shrinks... pisses me off. Try to un-pinch it 8x before it goes "oh, hey go big again..." If there were only a keyboard out there that looked stock but had the top row of numbers to switch to... I hate this feature and need it GONE!!
One Handed Keyboard
I was having a problem getting the one handed keyboard turned off. I just figured it out. Open up a text & bring up the keyboard now click on the setting icon that is next to the spacebar. Unclick the One-Handed Operation & it is done!:good:
I've went through every setting I can think of but cant figure this out. Just got my Note today, and this was working until somehow I switched it off I guess. When I pull the pen out, it doesnt bring up the S Pen options anymore. It vibrates and makes the sound, but nothing comes up on the screen. If I go set it to open up an S Note when the pen is removed, it will work, but I somehow switched off where it will bring up the whole menu of options to choose from.
When I pull my pen out it defaults to the screen you are talking about. On that screen if you tap the settings menu, it takes you to a something called "page buddy". There are check marks in Page Buddy that make it default to opening certain screens when you remove the pen, insert headphones, and dock the phone.
Sounds like you may have turned page buddy off. Not sure where the settings for that are though...
go to main settings-display there should be a "page buddy" option. make sure it's on on the right side with the switch. then click on the name itself on the left and it will take you to it's options. make sure the s pen page is enabled and you are good to go. just remember this doesn't work in any app, just on the home screen

Wow, I would have never figured that out. Thank you very much, it worked!
First the one handed operation, I try to disable it by unchecking the option but dor some reason it just continues to default to one handed operation while im typing.
Second issue is the default program option, I check always and go to applications manager but im unable to add always to a particular operation, like instragram, ie, twitter. Any help would be great.

Have you rebooted your GN2? I had a problem where the default launcher choice wouldn't stick until after I rebooted.

Try rebooting your phone, is your keyboard showing full-screen at all? It has two multi-touch gestures built in that can not be turned off, and poorly implemented to boot. Pushing your thumbs together from the outside edge to the middle will turn on one handed mode. Then from middle with two fingers/thumbs out to edge of the screen will put it back into full-screen mode. Most of the time this only happens to me when I'm typing, not when I'm showing off the feature. :silly:
How did you get your the phone launcher to stick?

Because I tinker with several launchers, I find it easiest to just use the Home Switcher app (free on Google Play).
I don't remember for sure how I got my preferred launcher to "stick", though. I may have gone into Settings/Application Manager/All, scrolled-down and opened "TouchWiz Home" and pressed the Clear Defaults button. Then rebooted. After that, Home Switcher seemed to work as intended.
I was gonna start a thread.. but I'll bring it here, i decided to use the auto screen brightness it didn't last to long.. the screen on auto seems to change brightness allot.. but with auto brightness off its fine... does anyone have issues with auto brightness on?? Thanks

The Galaxy S1 was the same way. I never use auto brightness.
Hi, this is Driving me NUTS about the note 2.
I will be typing on the keyboard, and itl just switch to left or right handed mode. I then have to go to settings and disable left / right hand mode, and go back to typing.
2 mins later pressing some typing combination it does it again....
What controls this damn thing, nothing in the samsung help says anything about gestures or how it turns to small mode.
I like the keyboard and am now feeling forced to download a new one because i simply cannot be forced to go to settings and disable (left right hand mode) every 2 mins of typing.
how do fix this?
Pinch to zoom in/out.
If you pinch on the stock/default keyboard it goes into "mini" mode.
Pinch out and it goes back to normal mode.

This function "One-handed" input is activated by pinching or by the settings menu. You cannot however disable it. Weird indeed.
I've landed in mini keyboard a few times. Any pointers on the pinching, as all I end up doing is typing random letters.

Yeah they really should have made it to where you can actually disable it. I did it a couple times when I first go the phone, but then I put my swiftkey on there and didn't have to worry about it anymore.

This is so ridiculously awesome, thank you for pointing out the feature! I am finding fewer and fewer reasons to stick with the Swype Betas.
just try a few times, when i first did it, it didnt work either.
its super awkward and i wish this feature could be totally removed, i do it every 2-3 mins of typing.
i think i will be forced to dl another keyboard app.
I turned it off in settings and haven't had it happen since.
