MultiWindow - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

How do you close out of a multi Window? I cou l do never figure it out.. not getting rid of the tab, but say you have two windows open, how do you exit one?

usually you tap on the window you want to close, and "X" icon to close app will pop up somewhere on the tapped app (along with max & min icon).

I have never seen that "X" icon... I usually just keep pressing back button until it closes =/ or could just maximize one screen you want to hide other.

I generally like the multiwindow, but if I can't get rid of a window.. It's pretty dumb.. Lol. Somehow, I swiped down and got it to disappear but can't do it again..

For me whenever I press on a Window that that I want to maximize, right next to the swap windows should be a maximize Window (below the adjustable bar)

I know how to maximize and swap. I just don't know how to exit out of a Window. I know that you can maximize the Windows you don't want, then back up to the previous app but sometimes, it doesn't work. Anyone know how to close a Window in MultiWindow?

Hold down the back button. It will make the side ran disappear. Hold it down again to get it back

Haha I'm aware. That's not what I mean. Like when you're using MultiWindow, so you have two windows on your screen. How do you get rid of one.

Touch the one you want to keep and hit the maximize button.

Does anyone else have a hard time configuring apps to be in the side bar for it? Like dragging apps onto the side thing..Whenever I try to drag the app to the sidebar it always drags the wrong app..

That's what I was guessing. See if this post helps ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41822132&postcount=4558 ... and here is link to update the installer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2072081

Ok here is the solution. There is a small arrow shape in the middle bar. When u tap on the top window the arrow will point on that and vice versa. So which means ur function buttons like (back & menu) will work on that tap. So if u press back button it will close that tap. Thats all. Very simple.
If u didnt find that little arrow then just keep tapping on top and buttom and u will notice the arrow

I tried, but it only closes the app if it's the first page. Like..say you were on the Internet and you went forward to like 3 Web pages, if you press the back, the browser just goes back , ,not cancel the app ):

Its when you detach your s pen and the homescreen adds an extra window for just the s pen with S Note shortcuts, as for when you plug in your earphones. It gives you an extra window at the homescreen to go to video player or music

Disable/hide multi view tab

I apologize if this has been covered but as a lefty the multi view tab is constantly in my way regardless of where I place it. I am hitting it while scrolling often. Is there any way to hide it?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
You can turn it off. Pull down the notification bar and there's an option for multi-window that you can turn off/on. Being a lefty myself, would be nice if the multi-window bar could be pulled to the other side.
EDIT: Or you can hold down the back button again to toggle it off/on

You can move it to the other side... Open the multiview app drawer then long press on the tab and you can drag it anywhere you'd like

Well if you're on a cm10 ROM, go into settings and assign the long press menu function to "voice search" and then I'll mod the apk to add the ability to launch it from holding the menu button.

Haha yeah it's not possible in touchwiz. I believe the long press menu function acts as a regular search button single press. I'm certain that could be changed but I'm not sure I never ran touchwiz. what version of floating note do you have?

I am on CM10 and was able to change my long press menu button to function as long press search. If you can get me your android.policy.jar file i should be able to change it. it might take some time though im not 100 percent sure what to change.

Check the box for reverse halo, then you can double tap and hold on the halo icon to drag it around the screen and remove it by dropping it on the X at the top of the screen.
Thank worked, thanks borkan.

There isn't a way to do that yet out of the box. Though there might be some fix for that out there. I have not searched for one.

Note 3 text msg on lockscreen

Hi just got my note 3, and I would like to ask my fellow xda members if they know how to access the text msg received from the lockscreen. Like on my note 2 I can just swipe the msg (envelope icon) fromthe lockscreen and it will directly open the text msg. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Yeah. Not sure why they are adding more useless features and removing the ones people actually used.

Here's what you do, when you get message or call put your finger on it and slide down than you will see a white box surrounding a square then click on the message and it will go ..it's the same thing you do with your clock widget to show the weather on the lock screen

The thing about the the new message on the lockscreen is you can do the same thing by just swiping down on your notification bar and clicking on the message from there.
This is so redundant and useless.
