pop up play for HOX

Is there any such mod for the one X which is comparable to the "pop up play" feature in the SGS3?
This might be a deal breaker for me because i often watch a lot of video on the go to pass the time while travelling, i would like to be able to do other things whilst watching the video at the same time.
Maybe something for devs to work on if they havnt already done it?

Just like IPhone, Samsung Copies it and now everyone thinks It's revolutionary.
It's Nothing new, I've been using it for the last 6 months.
Overskreen- A pop up Browser that you can on top of the screen.
Stick It- A pop up video player which you can use on top of the Screen, And It's much better than Samsung's Pop up play, as you can use it with any media and as many videos at once as you like.

When did i say it was revolutionary? I just liked the idea of being able to watch video and browse the web at the same time. I had never heard of the app because i never activley sought after something like that, when it was announced at the SGS3 event i thought hmm what a great idea, i wonder if anyone else has already done this. Hence the opening line in my OP dumbass

Didn't Samsung come out with the idea first in their galaxy tabs and the Samsung apps?

I don't believe Tommy was having a dig at you? Maybe you're a bit naive or you have a paranoia issue? But calling him a dumbass after just informing you on where the idea came from seems pretty "dumbass" to me.

Experience reading ebooks on this device

Hey everyone, how's it going? I wanted to know if anyone on here reads ebooks a lot on this device. How's the reading experience mainly with regards to screen size? Do you find the screen too small for comfort or is it good enough? It would be great if anyone out there has also tried to read PDFs (which mostly don't do very well with text wrapping/extraction and hence must be read in their PDF form).
I've ordered the Nexus 7 tablet because I need a hand-held device to read ebooks/PDF on. However, since I have an old HTC Desire, I'm wondering whether getting the Galaxy Nexus and killing two birds with one stone wouldn't be a better choice.
I've looked at a lot of reviews online and I'm satisfied with this phone in every other way. I also know that I'll have to spend $350 instead of $199. However, my primary concern is screen real estate. Is it big enough to provide a satisfactory reading experience? I know I can go look at the phone in a store but I'm looking for feedback from people who've done some reading on it for a reasonable amount of time. Just a glance or spending 5 minutes with the phone in a shop is not enough to make a good decision, IMO.
Thanks for your help.

the screen is superb for doing just that, the colors really stand out.
of course the only draw back is that natively you dont get the whole 4.65 because of the navbar, but you can fix that with a couple of mods and even without the mods, its great!
you can't really get much of a bigger sized screen unless you go with One X or galaxy S3.
hope i helpped

Hey, thanks for replying. I'm not worried about the navbar too much because most ebook reader programs allow you to hide it. How's the 4.65" screen for reading for extended amounts of time? Did you ever think it was too small? Also, have you tried reading PDFs on it?

I really love it both for ebooks and for reading PDFs. I'm frustrated that Google Play Books still doesn't let you highlight or take notes on Android when that feature has been on iOS for months. But hopefully it's coming. And, in the mean time, the Kindle app lets you do all of that.

Great ereader for me. I use kindle app

Ok folks bring it on.

I want y'all to convince me as to why I should get a note 2. I like to hear from the one's who owned a s3 and went to that note 2 also the one's who skipped the s3 and just went for the note 2. I'm thinking about selling my s3 on eBay for this phone. Just like to know of it's really worth it.
Anyone wants to make a Harlem shake video with me?

Nobody needs to convince you. Go to the sprint store and play with their demo for 15-20 mins, use the stylus the whole time.
You'll get your answer better that way because it IS a sizable size difference to hold and that's the biggest issue I've found so far. But I'm getting use to it darn quickly. ha

That's the one thing I may have a issue with is the size that I'm sure with enough time it will become second nature to me. I'm looking on the development forum now trying to find a rom that's close to what I'm running on my s3

Battery life was a deciding factor for me... The size won't be a problem after awhile... You get use to it... Development increases everyday... You won't be disappointed.

very easily, this.
just to reiterate, my 2 cents:
the size was only weird for about 2 days, now it feels mostly normal.
but the battery, the CPU, the screen? all big points to win with.
runs All day with Heavy use (games, chat, SMS/MMS, music, +plus all the other stuff), and some to spare for when i get home
(the only exception to this would be using Nav, but you should be powering your phone when doing that anyway...)
never stutters, never lags, runs every damn thing i throw at it, and sometimes two things at once. aaaaaaa. mazing.
movies/youtube look fan-freaking-tastic on it. pictures look fantastic. games look fantastic. reading feeds/pages/docs/anything at all, fantastic.
again, as far as the size goes?
got in a little tete-a-tete with some iFan on gizmodo about it:
Me said:
every single iPhone user that sees my Note2 wants it. not one exception yet.
even the 2 guys helping me in the Apple store wanted it.
not only do I get the envy of every single iPhone user, I also get the personal satisfaction of knowing my device is hands-down the top of the line in tech specs.
you can pretend to laugh at the size all you like, but Apple has not "innovated" crap in two years.

but. no one is laughing when I'm watching a movie/YouTube, playing a game, taking/editing a picture/video, editing a document, using integrated Google Maps, texting a friend, reading a website/article/book, using speaker-phone, using my calender.... and sometimes two at once.

People laughing at the Note was short lived. Everyone, and I mean everyone that cares about smartphones in even the most cursory way, that sees my Note II is more than a little impressed.
Don't hesitate.

well i came from the s3 to the note 2. at first it felt really big in my hands but after like 2 days i use use my wifes s3 and im like dang this screen is too small lol! anyways pull the trigger you wont regret it. the s pen makes this device better than the s3 by itself but you will notice the faster processor and netflix is really enjoyable on this thing. i was going to get a 7 inch tablet but now i don't need it.

S3 is for women lol

That was awesome! I skipped the s3. Originally had evo4g. Great phone, but nothing matches this beast.

I own the s2 s3 and gn2. The gn2 is in a category of itself. Never had I experienced this awesome batterylife in another phone. I was also concerned with size but that's now a thing of the past. As stated by other users screen size, faster processor and spen were the deciding points.

Everything that guy said minus the never lags part..It indeed does have some lag, especially in the notification shade and the gallery app..seriously though the gallery app is annoyingly laggy..I've switched to quikpik but then you lose out on the special features that come with the note II..

Honestly i jumped on the note 2 as soon as it came out and sometimes do miss my s3. The size isnt an issue bc im 6ft 5 and can hold it with no issue. But the s3 is alot easier to handle with 1 hand. I sold my s3 and got a little over $500 for it bc i had alot of accessories so i only came out of pocket with about $150 for the note 2. If your happy with the s3 you will be happy with the note 2 bc it is very similar. But if you have to come out of pocket with alot of money to make it happen i wouldnt do it. I live in baltimore and theres some people offering $250 and there s3 for a note 2 and im considering jumping on it. Iam in no way sayin the note 2 is a bad phone all im saying is the s3 was and is still a very good phone and to me holds its own against any phone.

Let me tell u if u get this phone u will not be disappointed. I came from a s2 and the size in hand is a little hard to get used to but once u do it is all good. My girl ditched the iphone 4s for the s3 and she sometimes uses my note more then I do

[Q] YouTube

Okay heres the issue I'm having with this tablet...I went to try it at a store as I wanted to check the beautiful screen and just the general unit. So to test the screen I decided to play the following video...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgKXcQ9PLuc&feature=youtube_gdata_player
The internet connection was perfect....anyways the video was stuttery and tbh I was a little dissapointed since its buttery smooth on my S3.
I would appreciate for you guys to test it on your Note's and let me know how the video plays. Its important that it doesnt have youtube or really HQ playback problems since I'm planning on purchasing it from America so returning it for a refund wont be an option for me (I'm in UK)
The tablet as a whole is truely an amazing piece of kit and I really wish I have been an idiot and missed something. I'm going to try and visit a different shop tomorrow so hopefully it was just because the unit has been abused by customers or something.
P.S. I dont mind this thread getting hijacked for other youtube problems/questions on the Note 10.1 2014.

Mine plays it smooth mate. Very slight jerkiness with the star movements but I think that's just due to the time lapse? You have to look hard to notice it. Want to try linking to another video that isn't time lapse?

Yeah I notice it then mainly too but tbh I noticed it different parts of the video again and again without trying to concentrate on it.
Why would time lapse matter? Plus that whole video is a timelapse so it should wither be all stuttery or play just fine really. I'm not an expert at this stuff as you can probs tell LOL just curious to why this tablet with the best screen on the market stutters with that video.

No probs.
I'm connected with my phone now but will try the 2nd one on my wifi when i get home.
I watched both videos on my PC which has an i7 processor, 32GB RAM and Nvidia 4GB graphics card. It was connected to fibre optic 40MB BT Infinity and I saw the same slight stutter as I saw on the tablet. So I'd say it's the video rather than what we're watching it on...

Anyways I got myself to another Currys today and tried out the Note's videos capabilitues for 20Mins. Man I love it....the youtube clip was much much better and I tried a different 4K video and that was absolutely flawless, So i guess the note just doesnt like the first video HAHA.
Anyways thanks for helping out mate - Now hopefully my mate gets an opportunity to buy me one from the US....Cannet wait to get one and watch a movie on that bad boy.

Not sure if this was already mentioned but the first link you posted actually links to a 3D version of the video. That might be why it played back funny on the note. Also, if you go through the youtube app you don't get the option to play the 3D version. Only if you play it through the web.

I'm facing serious stuttering on mine too! Only happens in YouTube app. YouTube videos played in browser works fine

That is very strange. I would say you may have a bad device. Ask fir a replacement.

Okay I have a wierd issue on my Note when I play videos on youtube. Basically when watching a video in full screen mode and I change the orientation of the note the screen goes dim with a small box appears in the middle of the screen with appears to be signal bars at the bottom left of it.
Anyone experience this...I will take a screenshot when I finish work so yous can see what I mean but thought maybe in the mean time someone is/has experienced this before.
P.S I have no issues with signal or video quality during normal playback.

I just tried playing it back in the YouTube app and it stuttered very badly. I played it earlier on my son's iPad air and it played flawlessly. This is my 2nd note 2014 1st one had major screen issues.
Up until all of this Knox bs I've loved my Samsung devices, know it seems that it may be time to try something else. Fortunately I've got until Jan 15th to decide if I want to keep it or not.

What video is stuttering? The one I posted on this thread on the first post?
See the weird thing is when I tried to play that video in some shops it failed miserably (before I had the Note 2014) yet now that I play it on my Note it plays flawlessly it's truly weird. I hope you figure out what the problem is.

Aye there must be something wrong with your Note then, I would deffo get it exchanged again or go to a different store since you probably got a Note from the same batch the last time you returned it.

Who got the VR Headset and what do you think????

I got it yesterday and really wasn't impressed with it at all.... Kinda glad I didn't pay for it. Maybe I have to try more apps to really be sure but on first glance I thought it was really bad.

Kinda grainy, not sure if its screen protector or if its normal

Screen door effect is not as bad as people made it out to be. The controller is nice and natural feeling. I suggest using both head straps when you get it. Facebook account is mandatory for Occulus related software. And if you want to browse the internet in VR, get the dedicated Samsung Internet browser app, not the built in Gear VR browser on the bottom menu.

it's been pretty good for me, with low expectations because I didn't see too many games coming out for it (I'm glad that promo gave us a few good games)
but still, needs work and more support
(Drop Dead) was a good experience for me plays a lot like house of the dead plus its free of course so very happy so far

not bad i guess, its not perfect but its free right
only few free stuff in the store mostly demo but over all not bad for a first time VR user
my 8yo daughter is loving it

Used it for about 20 minutes when I first got it. Haven't touched it since. Would have preferred a free SD card instead

Dead and Buried is fun as hell, so is Drop Dead. They make very good use of the controller. The 3 dimensional art in the "Oculus 360 Photos" app is pretty damn cool too, it makes me want to find more 3d art. I also enjoy taking 360 degree photos with my S8+ and then viewing the photos in the Gear VR. Watching videos isn't too bad either, you get that big screen feeling when you're no where near a big screen.

I now have 3 of these things [1 from the Note 2 and 2 for S8 and S8+]. The controller is a nice addition. I've played a couple of games so far and enjoyed the experience. Downloaded a simulation of flying through the galaxy. That was really cool! I enjoy it for what it is.

Cris, I received email updates from Samsung with tracking info once it was confirmed sent.
As for the headset, I came in with no expectations and as such, was pleasantly surprised. My entire family thought it was 'cool,' and my wife has actually put in more hours playing Drop Dead than anyone else, lol.
For those with the 'grainy' concerns, have you tried adjusting the image with the scroll wheel thing on top of the headset? I didn't notice it was there until the second day. (I didn't read the manual)

Didn't use the one at all that I got with the S7 edge, not once, and still haven't used the new one. Shoulda sold em. Maybe I still will. Idk they're cool but only for like 10 minutes. That's just me.

VR streaming sucks. I download all 180 and 360 VR content.
