I really want to use multi-window, but I just can't imagine a scenario when it'd be useful!
Do you use it? Which apps do you use together?
I use it to make iphone users jealeous.

I use it for playing Ingress, so I can have the scanner up while chatting with my teammates.
I constantly watch YouTube vids or I'm on fb at work. Comes in handy if I get txt messages

I almost exclusively use it for text messaging while doing something else.
Ahhh! Texting! Yeah I'm interrupted by hangout chats a lot - I'll definitely give hook this up w hangouts/GV in the bottom pane!

+1 same here!
YouTube and any texting app I have enabled for it. Fb or other stuff too.

Great for media consumption while doing other things like texting or something.
I use the it more as a shortcut tool than actually running two apps at the same time tho.

It makes it super easy to get to LastPass. :good:
Just found A new use.. While using Google maps, and streaming audio to car stereo have Google music on the other screen.. Works nice

I tried enabling multi-window to use with any apps but it's not working. Anyway I'd use it for a lot of multi-tasking, like watching a Netflix documentary and taking notes, or playing a game and watching a video, etc. Mostly media/texting.
Ditto on LastPass.

i love the feature of having video play over what you are doing, or if you get an sms you can answer it while still watching video, i stream off netflix and on my local device alot and i hate having to exit out reload and relaunch what i was watching everytime i get a text.
if theres any current software out or if theres plans to port this feature id like some info.
I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but try them out. They are both great apps.

You can't ask better than Google talk built in your android device, which is connected to Google hangout and YouTube. Meaning you can video chat up to 10 people at the same time from any device. Pc via android via iPhone, etc. Plus you can watch YouTube together and share screen view and make effects. Best of all you can talk from Wi-Fi and lte. Everything is interconnected.

I like sidecar for the "see what I see" functionality. Does the same thing as all the others with the added ability to share what your camera see with the person you are talking to so they can "see what you see". Its pretty awesome...to me at least
The point is that it should be INTEGRATED and one button use... if you have to fiddle with everything and only us nerds can use it then we will never use it with the people who we really want to see during a conversation
I like the stock video editor from Galaxy S II and I was wondering is there any way to bring that to Note II. I try bringing it back from titanium backup but it got fc. I would appreciate if someone could help me with that.
I've been looking around all day for a good video editor. The one from the Note 1 supposedly FC's, and it's nowhere to be found on here either.
Have you had any luck finding an alternative?
No. So I'm just using my s2 for video editing this days

Meh. I work on music videos on the go on my phone, just for the project's sake. I used to do it fine on my iPhone, I really wish there was an Android equivalent considering the GN2 is an epic phone.
Music videos like adding music to existing clips?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
I sort of film music videos on the go, often slowing clips down, transitioning them, adding effects or adjusting color occasionally, adding in identity text in the beginning, or mixing a secondary audio track with a clip's audio.
That sounds cool. I'd like to learn how to do some of that since it really interest me.. let me know if you find a somewhat decent app for it.

Ah definitely, unfortunately Android is suffering a whole lot with the video editing department, almost makes me wish i had a (gasp) damn ipod touch or something.

Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
I've tried Gtalk, pretty decent, haven't tried any other apps, but people mentioned Tango works well too.
yahoo chat works on this phone.
gtalk/Google hangout works pretty well.. There's Skype obviously.. The usual tango..
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
I use Gtalk/Google hangout and tango. I like Google hangout because I can video chat more than one person at the same time.
Tango is easy to use but limited to 1 on 1. Also if you are thinking about installing Tango, keep in mind that Tango has very annoying bug that changes your phone's in-call volume randomly to max and on each reboot.

The only one that I love and use now with the Note 2 and the 25 meg download speed of Tmobile is Skype. My daughter talks to her grandparents almost every day on it and it beats firing up the spare computer which is now collecting dust.
Just curious. I see very few reasons to use this feature. I just hold home for to seconds and hop back and forth. Or copy and paste. What do you guys love it for?

Is it too late to modify the topic before it's flooded with tons of useless pics showing 2 apps running? No offense, but it's an idea as pointless as posting home screens or telling which color phone you bought.
Perhaps we would all be helped by elaborating on, "how have you gotten the most use or productivity using mw"

When I'm editing files on my phone per instructions of a developer, it is nice to have both root explorer open as well as a screen shot from gallery illustrating what needs to be done so I don't have to keep closing and opening the file editing app.

I find it makes it easier to copy text from an app (like browser) into an SMS/email etc without switching back and forth. Don't use it a lot but when i do use it, it's very useful and works very well.
For me it solves the problem of YouTube shutting down whenever the app is not in use. I listen to a lot of music there and many videos aren't even videos but just images with the audio playing. Now I fire up youtube in 1 section and open the browser or whatever else in the other and maiximize its size.
I use it while doing Google chat with people while also Web browsing.
