Just got a GN2 and somehow I've turned on the "Sidebar" thing. Anyone know how to get rid of it please.
Feel a bit silly cus I root, flash and do all sorts all the time. But this simplest thing ?I can't! lol
Thank you.
Hold down the "back button" (soft key) and it should disable the multitasking side bar

Apps have to be coded to be able to use them with in split screen, and only a very few non Samsung apps are coded to work with it sadly.

No they don't have to be coded for split screen!
Apparently all the "work" is being done in the Samsung libraries - I certainly couldn't see Google amending the GMail app to support a function that is vendor specific.
I would imagine it is more to do with:
1. Samsung amending their split screen implementation to ensure it works with specific common apps, as well as their own.
2. Stopping other apps being added as they cannot ensure how they will react.

Is there a way to know the phone's system info (hardware and software) through IMEI?
The reason I ask is that there is no "Settings-About.." on these phone except when it boots it reads "Samsung Galaxy Note II".
Also, the IMEI printed on the back doesn't match when I type the code *#06#. I tried to set to factory default as per the forum (Vol-up + home + power) but didn't work.
If there is any link that will guide me step-by-step to upgrade/re-flash or whatever to restore this phone to a descent one will be highly appreciated.
By the way, it is bought by a friend second-hand. Please Help.
The only things you can acquire from the imei from your side I'd say is the date of manufacture, location, type and model of the phone as far as I know. It seems like the seller either sold you a refurbished unit or changed the housing of the phone. Either way there are threads here where you can change the imei to match the imei on the back of the phone but it does require a good amount of patience.
Although, I would suggest, if it's working then leave it be because losing the imei and then trying to restore it can get tricky.

Thanks for your reply, One more reason why I need those info is to update the device coz some of the features are not there like wi-fi.
I noticed that the features are very limited. At least to put the device into factory status maybe I can start from there. But even that code won't work.
Sounds like you got the fake note 2 china clones.
Check your IMEI here

lets first check you have is Note2 original or not

If you have factory reset then it should be recovery mode, not download mode
Again read carefully
Recovery mode - Vol up +home +power
Download mode - Vol down +home +power then Vol up in next (warning) screen

Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
The volume warring is a horrible feature, I'm trying to think of why it needs to popup every time. This must have been included for liability reasons.
My problem is that my headphones don't exactly sit close to ear with my helmet on, so they're too quite. Then I can't always grab my phone and close out the warning while I'm riding.
The only solution I've found for this problem is to install a different rom, I am using ReVolt right now. You can disable the warning in the sound settings.
I also would like to know. I want to disable the toast after setting an app as default as well. It's super annoying.

This one's done. WOrking on the toast volume thing.
If you're rooted, you can try Xposed Framework. It's the best. Not only can you remove the warning, there is so much more to customize.

I don't think that will work. T-Mobile uses a toast instead of the normal window. So im not sure if that will work. Can give it a shot. I almost have it removed though.
Here you go guys. no more toast when you turn up volume. No more window when you select a default app.

Bleh, TouchJiz is affecting the volume steps mod. Go listen to music, and start the volume at low, and slowly increment the volume up to max one step at a time. It will get louder then go back to really quite, and then get louder again

If it's the same hardware then it should work. If it doesn't work it will just not boot. To fix that just flash your ROM or restore the original framework.jar file.

Has anyone else noticed that there a noticeable lag when turning off the screen? The slight fade out animation seems to stutter and there is about a 1-2 second delay from when i press the power button to it actually doing something. This is probably one of the weirdest places for a phone to lag.
Anyone else have this problem?
I'm running on stock rooted BTW.
EDIT (more info): This doesn't happen right after a factory reset. I takes a bit of time for it to happen which makes it seem like some app messing it up, but it happens even if there isn't anything installed besides the default stuff.
