Trouble with notes widget on 4.4.2 - Sony Xperia ZL

Finally had the 4.4.2 update. One issue I noticed is with the Notes Widget. The widget shows the contents of the note in focus. But when I switch notes in the widget, I see a blank note. I have to swipe to change to different homescreen and back to the one with widget to see the contents of the note or flip through 5 notes to see one with text....
Anyone got a solution for me??

possible to write on a widget?

I think it would be extremely handy if you could put a widget the size of the whole screen and take your stylus out and then write a quick note right on the widget without opening an app is that possible? I haven't seen any apps in the market or figured out how I could do this with s note.
Settings -> s pen -> open pop up note ?

Pop up note isnt a widget though. Id like an app that allows you to write directly on a widget so that you can write a quick note on your home screen and you will see it as soon as you look at yout phone again. Basically like a simple reminder. Id be willing to pay for an app that allowed it but im just not sure if adroid will even allow a widget to basically be "updated" in such a way.
Ah. I read the intent as having something immediately when pulling the pen, not that it had to stay saved on screen in a widget.
As widgets can be interactive, it shouldn't be that hard for a edit toggle on a note widget. Maybe I'll play around with writing one.

Popup snote alternative coming out within a week

Fit planner is a cool planner/note app I have been using which basically gives you a fresh sheet each day to jot on... a new update is coming out which has option to launch when spen is removed. May be great for not TW roms and still have popup style note taking

Do you have a link? I don't see any such app in the Play store, nor is a Google search returning anything.

The new update is up on the play store.. launches on spen eject and closes when you return it just like popup note. Has changeable background and a fresh page with date each day.. great as a journal.. log or just for notes. I am not affiliated with the developer at all I just think its a nice simple app that works well. Check it out

Thanks for the heads up just bought it. Looking forward to trying it out!
Bought it, hate it. No reminders make this app basically pointless. You could open up any note taking app and do the same thing. The buitt in calendar is way better.

You can write on the SCalendar, and it has reminders.

thanks man, I just go the phone today, coming from a note 1, so its a whole new ballgame!
My like of it is simply for a popup snote replacement and daily organized note or journal... not intended to set reminders or appointment. That is not what it is for.

[Q] Multiwindow wrong apps

so i've seem to be having trouble with the multiwindow. All the wrong apps are in the multiwindow tray and when i try to drag a certain app i want to use in multiwindow mode from the 'edit page with all the rest of the apps' the app is wrong.
for example 'whatsapp' the messenger app isn't in the tray on the left. So i press edit to find it along with all other apps in the page that shows up.
I drag 'whatsapp' over to the left multiwindow bar and it turns out to be another app like calculator and when i look at the edit page again whatsapp is there and changed position. and this is the same with most of my apps in that page. no app is their actual app.
anyone else having this problem?
I'm running SKynote 8
Does it use multiwindow control if so there is a delete services data and that is there to fix that

There's no Window control app. That's the problem... Know where I can get it?

[Q] Facebook Home

Is anyone else having problems installing Facebook home on their phone, because everyone says that you can install it on the galaxy note 2, but its not working on mine it says my phone isn't supported?
I'm having the same problem. Thought it was cos I have an N7105 not N7100 but I'm not sure.
Make sure you have updated Facebook app.
Then in the Facebook app, go to settings and check "enable Facebook home"
I tried it for a couple of hours then uninstalled it.
But when I installed it the first time, I made my Nova launcher the default launcher.
That left the facebook home only as a lock screen and nothing else.
I think that as a simple lock screen it works better

Weird,. I just made sure both Facebook app and Facebook messenger were latest version and then straight install. No problems at all.

SMS Widget that can compose/reply

I'm looking for an sms widget that allows you to compose from the widget itself. Play store doesn't seem to have any except one that requires EZ Launcher, which I'm not using.
I'd like to be able to compose an sms via a popup widget that I access from Action Launcher 2.0 beta Quickpage (an awesome new feature)

Someone on Google+ said Sliding Messenger can do this. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Thanks.
