Improving S pen removal warning - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to make function that warns you if S pen is removed and you are walking vibrate or at least make some noise?
In current form (simple on screen message) its useless because by the time I turn on my phone to see message, its too late.

There are alerts in s pen settings

I'm talking about that. But there is no sound or vibrating alert, only visual which is useless unless screen is on.

My note 2 has audio alert if I leave my s-pen out

The S Pen™ does more than enable you to interact with your device's screen to navigate menus and enter information; the S Pen also simplifies many different functions. It has been designed to feel comfortable by increasing the overall length to 8mm, and it now has a larger diameter of 6.55mm. You can edit documents with the mouse-like precision of the S Pen.
S Pen Settings
You can modify the S Pen settings from the settings menu. From the Home screen, touch Menu

[App idea] Aetherphone - a musical theremin on your phone.

"Turn your phone into a robust musical instrument."
I am an artist and can do UI if a developer wants to tackle this. A theremin can be described here:
Here is a demo screenshot I made:

}
in this demo picture it is showing the "R" reverb filter being scrubbed to 54% the text on screen quickly fades away once the affected button is released.
How to play:
The screen will be able to operate with the vertical axis as pitch (in hertz) and the horizontal axis as volume (in %). Optionally these axis can be switched by the user in "settings". Also you can have a split screen mode for two independent instruments OR spit screen with pitch in one window and volume in another is so desired. If the latter sound will only come out when both fingers contact the phone.
Pitch range is by default 100 - 3000 hz but this can bet set to a different bracket in the settings dialog. on the top of the screen it will read the current pitch and closest note your finger is at example: 297 Hz (D)
Waveshape Selection Circle:
Toggles sine, triangle and square waveforms.
Filters:
You have three filter slots that you can customize with 15 different effects. Swap out filters in the settings mode.
• Tap a slot to toggle it on and off while in play.
• Touch and drag side to side on a slot to change the intensity of the effect. While you scrub a large number shows up in the middle of your screen to show you what its value is.
Loop:
Tap loop once and it inverts. While it is inverted it is recording.
Tap a second time and the loop is stored and a number comes up at the top of the screen 1-9.
Tap the numbers to toggle on and off loops. to clear a number drag the number to the settings gear at the bottom of the page. Loop auto snaps to the closest logical length of measure (guided by bpm and time sig settings)
BPM & time signatures can be set by scrubbing left and right. The text pulses gently to the beat and the time sig pulses to the appropriate scale.
Particle effects change under your finger depending on how long you have held a ante and how quickly your finger moves:
Tap a note/vol and a ripple happens like a drop of water.
Sustain a note and you will get many concentric rings fading from that spot.
Zip from one note to another and a line will appear to tell you were you came from. it will fade in one a couple measures.

Palm Rejection in SketchBook for Galaxy

Hello, is it possible to activate Palm Rejection in this App?
Yep!
Settings )the gear icon in the ep, second top left) --> Pen Mode --> ON.

Yes, but it doesn't work. Your palm still activates zoom-in and zoom-out as you rest it down on the screen. The best solution I've found is make sure the pen is the first thing to touch the screen, then rest your palm down.

Because that's not what palm rejection is designed to do.
It prevents you from drawing on the screen with your hands. That, and only that.
Multitouch and Controls, including zoom, are not part of that.
It clearly says so in the menu.

Even if you put your hand on it first, as soon as the pen gets near to the screen, touch will be deactivated anyway.
Root get gmd spen control. There is a gesture to shut off all touch recignition besides the pen.

One Handed Operation not in settings? How 2 move input keyboards to 1 side of screen?

#1. I have installed SwiftKey to resize the QWERTY keyboard, and to also move the keyboard closer to the thumb side of my screen while using with one hand.
#2. I purchased Swipe Dialer PRO to move the Phone Dialer closer to the thumb side of my screen while using with one hand.
However, If anyone can still recommend one app that does both, or an app that is better than SwiftKey and/or Swipe Dialer PRO, I would appreciate the help.
Thank you in advance.
So, the Note 2 and Note 3 (and supposedly the S5) have the option in the settings for "one Handed Operation" that moves the input devices (QWERTY keyboard and Numeric Dialer) to far edge of the phone (Left for Left Handers or Right for Right Handers).
It's supposed to make using the phone with one hand easier, especially for people like me that are coming from smaller phones.
How do I enable this setting in the S3?
If it's not possible, can you recommend an app to install or what do I have to do to make this happen?
I'm really surprised that this wasn't an option when the phone launched.
I'm also really surprised that when the phone is turned sideways, the keyboard blocks the view of almost the entire screen.
Samsung should just superimpose the keyboard over whatever is on the screen and make the keyboard "trasnparent" so you can still see what is "behind" the keyboard.
Thank you for viewing my thread.
Any help will be most appreciated.
Just for reference, I DID do a search and the below is the "chat" I had with Samsung before posting this thread.
Verlin: Yes, that is correct. There is no option for one handed operation on the Galaxy S\34.
Me: what about a way of downloading the setting or an application? Samsung should make this setting available on the S3if it's available for the Note 2
Verlin: Lets hope in future updates.
Verlin: There is one hand operating on the Galaxy S5.
Verlin: From the main Settings screen, tap Controls > One-handed operation.
Verlin: Tap the OFF / ON icon next to One-handed operation to the right to turn it on.
Verlin: Complete the set up process by grabbing the device in one hand and then in a single motion, swipe your thumb from the edge of the screen towards the middle and then back.
Me: Can can you verify. Sprint employees could not do so at the store.
Verlin: From home, tap Apps > Settings.
Verlin: Tap Sound and display > One-handed operation.
I love SwiftKey, no better keyboard in my opinion. I doubt if there'll be one app to replace both. One's a keyboard and the other's a dialer, normally two very separate and different things. Sorry bud. I use Rocket Dialer but I don't know if it has that option. I'd Google (not search in Play Store) for right handed dialer, or left handed if it suits you, to see what alternatives there are.

[APP] SideSqueeze 2.08 - add squeeze gestures to your S9!

What is SideSqueeze?
SideSqueeze is an innovative and unique app that uses the barometric pressure sensor in your device to detect squeezes and screen presses. It is compatible only with Samsung Galaxy devices from 2017 onwards, although some people have reported varying degrees of success with Pixel devices.
What It Does
SideSqueeze gives your S8/S9/S10 series Galaxy the ability to respond to squeezes, double squeezes, triple squeezes, quadruple squeezes, long squeezes, and/or inertial squeezes, as well as force presses on the screen. For example, you can double squeeze your phone to activate Google Assistant...or maybe you'd like to quadruple squeeze to toggle auto-rotation. And now with Tasker integration, you can even create elaborate tasks to do just about anything and trigger them with any type of squeeze! SideSqueeze's new modular GUI allows you to pick and choose what you want to do with ease.
Features (not all available in trial version)
7 detectable squeeze types (single, double, triple, quadruple, long, long double-squeeze, and inertial)
3 detectable press types (single, long, and 2-finger)
Independently selectable criteria allow you to assign multiple actions to any trigger type (if lockscreen open, if homescreen open, if camera open, if S-Pen detached, if within 5-seconds of power on, if the phone is ringing, if in-call, or if screen is off)
New app picker to launch any app of your choosing
Tasker integration to launch any task of your choosing
Quick Settings tile to toggle detection engine
Wide selection of common actions, such as flashlight toggling, status bar toggling, etc
Adjustable pressure thresholds
Calibration assistant to customize SideSqueeze to your device's unique characteristics
Efficient detection algorithm that is designed to be as lightweight and low-power as possible with no significant impact on battery life
Questions?
See the in-app Help section for answers to commonly asked questions.
Where do I get it?
SideSqueeze 2 is now available on the Play store!

Version 2.07 (just released to the store last night) offers better reliability and faster response-time, especially when "Disable baseline verification" is set (checked) on the settings panel (go to the About or Help tab, tap the gear icon on the top-right corner). Also, SideSqueeze is on sale for $1.99 through July 13th!
I'm interested, but no comments here or feedback on the Play Store since July is concerning.
Thought this type of thing needed specialised hardware built into the phone don't understand how this would work properly.

Question question about the interface and buttons

one way to access split screen mode is using 3 finger gesture swipe, is there another way?
with my s7 edge there was the split screen icon in the app switcher (tree lines)
second question, what is the T lock / unlock symbol in the top right corner of the app switcher? what does it do?
third question, anyway to increase the loud speaker volume? is it just the media volume setting?

This is the unknown lock/unlock symbol I'm referring to. What does it do? I pressed it and didn't notice anything different
I think the lock symbol is supposed to keep the process running in the background. I could (and probably am) wrong, but I thought I read that somewhere. And it only seemed to work for a short time.

1. Yes, the 3 finger gesture swipe is one way, I also believe you can assign the smart key button (left side) to start split screen as well, I think you can either do press, double press, or hold
2. If you swipe down on the app while in app switcher, it keeps process open in background, and won't be closed if you click "clear memory"
3. Just increase it as much as you can. This phone does have a weaker loudspeaker, especially with only one on the bottom
