[Q] Notifications not as good as before

I've just upgraded from the original Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 to a Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100
On my old Tab if there was a notification that was too long to fit on the screen I could long press on the notification and it would begin to scroll right to left allowing me to read the whole message. On my shiny new super phone that long press no longer works (instead it brings up a button for App Info which is no help at all!)
Is there a way to read the whole of a notification without having to go to launch the app associated with it?
Thanks!

In 4.1 JB you have to put two fingers on it and slide down to expand the notification. Although it doesn't work for all notifications.

Thanks for the reply.
That seems to work for Gmail but not for Pulse and if there is more than one email then the expanded version is basically no better than the unexpanded version. You still need to go from the notification screen to the Gmail inbox to see any of the message.
Seems a bit of a step backwards from the older version on Android.

My Pie Control Settings for the Note II

I have set up Pie Control to be a huge benefit for one handed use of the Note II, putting the hard to reach bottom buttons on the right and left sides of the screen. With this set up, I can hold the phone in either hand and not have to juggle the device around to hit the Menu, Home, Back, and Recent Apps and can also activate Voice Search in Google Now.
Here are my settings:
Autostart TouchService: Enabled
TouchService mode: pie
Set gesture input: 2
Add to pie blacklist: Added my games and other things that I touch the edge of the screen a lot with.
Activation area position: Left and right
Activation area thickness: 25
Longpress time: 1000
Animation time: 50
Pie Item 1: Home
Pie Item 1 long press: RecentApps
Pie item 2: Back
Pie item 2 longpress: RecentApps
Pie item 3: Menu
Pie item 4: SearchLongpress < This will instantly activate voice search or s voice

I'll give er a shot brotha. Thanks for this.

I like pie control. I have button one as home, button two as back, button 3 as recent apps, button four as menu and button 5 as app drawer.
The bad thing is the app drawer is pie controls app drawer so it's really leggy when scrolling through apps. I don't see a way through Pie control setting to change to the system app drawer.
On level two I have a few apps like Tapatalk, browser and messaging app. When you select the apps there is a one or two second delay before the app opens. Not sure why..

i dont understand how to make pie appear and once it does how do i press the buttons

After it's enabled, you have to start it. Once started, you should see the bars on the sides. Try a lighter color wallpaper if you don't see it.

After selecting something, it takes a little bit to start back. Mine seems to work fine unless I activate it quick and then try to use it again immediately afterward. Maybe it's the apps or actions that you are using that could cause the delay. Just a thought.

I have been unable to make this work on my note 2 from sprint plus it forces close. What do I need to do here I have tried everything that was suggested but it still does not work.

Could someone please tell me how to activate this feature on the Note 2? I did it once a long time ago but now I can't remember how to do it. Swiping isn't doing anything.

[Q] Screen keeps waking up when I get a text message

Hello,
I have not been able to find any place to disable the screen waking up for 2-3 seconds after I receive a SMS text message. It doesn't do this for facebook, for email, for MMS, but everytime I get an SMS it wakes up which I want to stop it doing.
Anybody know where the option to turn this off is?
Side notes: I have my lockscreen disabled

disable notifications under the sms app.

How is that heloful? He's asking about stopping the screen from turning on, not the entire notification. Op as of now I don't think we can. I think I had heard a while back of an app that stopped the stock sms from turning on the screen but I can't remember at this time the name of the all

I need an answer to this aswell

You have to use another SMS program (like from play store) and disable the default, or root and use the modded apk which allows for this option to be selectable

[APP][18/6/13]+Smart Lock+V1.2.4+Simple delayed PIN Lock Screen

----------------------------------------
Smart Lock V1.2.4
----------------------------------------
DOWNLOAD http://db.tt/kBtgcx6N
- PIN unlock automatic now. (No longer need to tap the tic)
-Delay timer Seconds slider
- 1.2.2 bigger PIN keypad
- improved screen state detection should use less ram and cause less battery drain.
----------------------------------------
Welcome to Smart Lock... The Security of a PIN lock and convenience of swipe combined
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
>>> #1 FEATURES & QUICK START GUIDE
----------------------------------------
The App UI is VERY simple to use:
#1 Set your PIN, screen off delay & global state.
#2 Thats it! if you turn your screen on before the set delay you get normal Android lock screen. After you get Smart Lock PIN guard immediately after.
if you forget your PIN at any time simply wipe Smart Lock app data to reset to the default PIN '0000' and chose a new one next time you launch the app.
Since the min delay is 1min, you will always be able to do this after a reboot. It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to use thie app in combination with a sim PIN lock to block entry upon reboot and you are secure.
The rest is so easy i wont bother insulting your intelligence explaining it.
The lock screen this app uses is independent from Android and will appear after you unlock with any Android lock method.
----------------------------------------
>>> #2 THE CONCEPT:
----------------------------------------
The idea behind Smart Lock is to combine the convenience of the Android swipe Lock screen with the security of a protected lock screen (either pattern or PIN).
This is achieved by using a secondary independent PIN guard blocking overlay which will block access to the Android UI without a successful PIN entry.
This PIN activated system guard can be set to block access to the touch screen. A user selectable delay once the screen switches off will activate it.
Combined this with a sim lock on boot, together they will protect your phone from theft or prying eyes while AT THE SAME TIME saving you from needing to enter your PIN every time you check your phone during instant message sessions or any other sort of frequent use.
The app can easily be reverted to a default PIN by wiping the app data ANY TIME. Since the min PIN activation delay is 1 minute from Screen off there is no danger of locking yourself out of your phone since a simple reboot and app data wipe will clear a forgotten or unknown PIN...
So how can this possibly be secure I hear you ask?
Well its quite simple: With a SIM PIN in place a user will need to know this to get into Andriod after a reboot. without this Smart Lock app data can't be wiped to reset the PIN...
So you have day a 15 minute delay on Smart Lock. Your phone gets stolen and likely the Smart Lock PIN has activated by the time someone tries to use it. They then reboot the phone and your SIM block PIN prevents them getting in!! Meanwhile you are enjoying the convenience of a simple swipe lock screen most of the time not to mention Android 4.2.2 lock screen widgets!

thanks, work for 4.1.2??

Yep! Should work for a broad range of devices

Hi rlorange,
Thanks for that bright idea, finally we have a way to have widgets AND a decent security on 4.2.2 !
May I ask you if you plan to add new features to your neat app, as there is some improvement I see that would make it even better

I loved this app.
Nicely designed, the Concept behind is really amazing.
I wanna contribute to this project more.
I am Dev to if your source code is on GIT then post the link.
Hope, more devs will contribute to make life easier with high security.
Note :- I am not forcing you to post the GIT or other stuff just an suggestion if you want take it else let it flow.
Waiting for it to come on PLAY STORE or SAMSUNG STORE

V 1.1 up!!

Thanks! V1.1 is better! I'm going to focus on improving stability and keep it simple for now. I'm still getting the monitor fail on me and not bring the PIN up occasionally. I'll tweak the task system for now

Hi rlorange,
Same as you, sometimes v1.1 got bypassed and i've to clear app settings to get it working again.
Maybe you can try to do the same thing Go Locker do ; it takes the launcher place, and then runs the original or custom launcher, that way it get automatically called anytime the phone gets unlocked.

Hello, working good so far. Any chance of having delay time of 5 seconds or so? Thanks for great app

Another request if possible...when I set my alarm in the morning and it goes off I have to type my pin in to deactivate it...any chance of making this app run behind the clock

[Q] Getting back the AOSP-style quick settings panel

Is it possible to get back the AOSP-style separate quick settings panel (two finger swipe down for settings, nothing but notifications in the notification panel)?

bump, anyone?
so far i've tried gravitybox and g3 tweaks box with no luck

Seems the answer is not yet. Will be nice once development starts happening for this phone. Tweakbox handles most of it but the quick settings are annoying.

Probably never (and good riddance). Once L drops, it's all on one panel.
