[Q] Note 2 Notification tray preview issue

Hi there,
I'm using a N7100 running 4.1.1. Untill today whenever I pulled down the notification tray I would see detailed notifications like a full message or a screen capture with an image preview. Now I still get notifications but they are ICS style i.e. without comprehensive details.
How do I get detailed notifications back?
I'd appreciate any help I can get, Thanks
Pinch zoom in the notification

RE:
Thanks but I have to do that every time. First I was getting detailed notifications by default (they would appear in detail). Any idea how I can get back to that?
If it is a single notification. . It is detailed. .. multiple notifications are condensed. ..

Quick app task bar + cascade view multiwindow

Recently my girlfriend got me new note 8.0 as she said my old tab was sluggish. As a first time Note user shifting from tab 7.7, I found that there are few things that I couldn't find in my note 8.0 like:
1. No quick app task bar - I quite used to open calculator from the task bar and it would come out as a floating pop up window, I could easily drag the window anywhere and closed it once I was done with it.
2. Cascade view multiwindow - As I was using note 8.0 erobot ROM with multiwindow MOD
Is there any shortcut or anything that I can change somewhere? I have tried to look around but still can't find it.
Thank you.

i'm actually the user that ported the multiwindow mod to the 7.7 originally...if u want the same exact experience u had on the P6800 the u can use my mod in the link below BUT unfortunately it only works on 4.1.2 so u would need to downgrade if you're on 4.2.2. If its ONLY cascade mode that u want then its possible to mod the flashbar (left side quick app task bar/multiwindow launcher) to have the dual/cascade mode buttons u are used to seeing in the minimode panel/nav bar...since the left launcher is the default multiwindow mode for the note 8 then i assume that what u want is the bottom quick apps task bar/minimode tray launcher that u have been using on the 7.7 which means u should follow the link below

For the floating calculator? I use pie launcher and aircalc. I swipe from the left to bring out the pie and slide to air calc. Pretty fast too for like 20 of my favorite apps (including floating stickies and evernote and the floating voice recorder). I also use overlay launcher set as a launch point just at the level of the volume rocker so it's different from the lauch area of pie launcher, Use it for specialty apps like tasker and shortcuts to "activities".Then for swiping from the right I use swapps for an alphabetized quick launch bar. Most 1 gig ram tabs and phones find this hard to handle but the note 8 breezes through.
Multiwindow cascade? I'm planning to do that too but still enjoying stock for now...want to wait it out for that new magazine UX that's replaced touchwiz UX on samsung tablets. I hope it makes it to the note 8 during the next update...

Yes, I am actually using your multiwindow mod and like it very much on my tab 7.7. About the tray launcher, Is it possible to make it hidden for note 8.0? Is it compatible with N5120? I feel that the good thing about note 8.0 screen, it isn't block by the task bar like at tab 7.7. I'm still learning to use Note 8.0, but sometimes I miss some part of tab 7.7 that I am already getting used to it. Thanks! :good:

I just downloaded aircalc and tried to use it for my note, but I feel the ads was so annoying, I previously used realcalc and like it so much, thanks for your suggestion :good:

[Q] Honeycomb/Nexus like Navigation Bar & Page Buddy

Dear Expert
This may be my personal preference and complaint hope this Q&A helps other users too.
I was used my touchwiz devices and used S-pen and s-memo, more extensively than most average users.
I even had chance to experience note 3 from my girlfriend, I used note I and II previous. Now, I switch out to Nexus and got Galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition. I couldn't help but feel very familiar to note 3. It felt really same the screen showed improvement but it just felt like they just moved everything from note 3 right onto 2014 note 10.1 if anything it felt really buggy. Buggy as my old 1st at&t tab 7.
---main concern: never were a fan of physical home button. Aesthetic point of view it may be hit or miss. I still don't know how it would look w/o it but the glossy, plastic-ky material is bigger issue. Home button is annoying reading or using in portrayed mode, a lot of review on internet mentioned it. Q1. does anyone know how to disable this? this isn't my priority.
Q2. (LIKE IN THE TITLE) I want to put to NAVIGATION BAR like nexus or like the old honeycomb devices so i'll have home, back maybe even menu at any orientation. I see people experimenting with rooted app / ROM but I was looking for stock option.
Q3. coming from using note 1 and 2, PAGE BUDDY. I saw twitter's "COVER" lock screen. it seems like a alternative but I would like permanently set layout whenever there's an action. Anyone find app alternative or repack .apk ?
lastly, can anyone point out how to transcribe script into text on memo? like what action memo does. I don't like action memo. I like pen button, double tap on screen to launch quick note much better. They should have made s-note versatile instead of make that separate. I really don't like pen action. NOTE 2 is far advanced and easy in usability than any note device. I maybe tuned into it I'm wondering if there's any other user feel the same?
Q2:
What you could do is modify the build.prop before you flash the rom. You open up the zip file and activate softkeys then flash it. You won't be able to activate the buttons without root after the firmware is already on the device. I don't know if modifying the build.prop will trip knox.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 S Note App!

Hi would it be possible to get the yellow font when screen is off to take notes in? As i did check settings there’s no option. Also i did download S NOTE apk it installed fine, but it still don’t give the option to change the colour to yellow? Does anyone know how would i go about achieving that? Thanks
I don't think that is possible as that feature maybe exclusive to the Note 9.

Peaves from New Tab S4 owner - thoughts appreciated

So I'm a (mostly) happy owner of a new Tab S4 SM-T830 256 gb tablet. My old tablet was a 64 gb Tab S2. I was excited about the hardware upgrades. I use my tablet in place of a laptop, and was starting to notice the speed and memory lags.
I'm having problems with three "features"
1) No fingerprint scanner. I wear glasses. Strong glasses. Progressive lenses. I turned on Samsung Pass, but it isn't clear to me if this works with external apps (like my banking app), or just within the Samsung Internet Browser.
2) I use Nova Launcher. On the Tab S2, the dock bar stayed horizontal on the bottom of the display when you rotated the tablet. For the S4 the dock seems to be locked to the short side of the screen.
3) Multiple peaves with the floating navigation bar. I'd like it to lock to the short side of the screen, like hard buttons do. But it stays horizontal. It takes up a lot of expensive real estate - can I add other shortcut buttons to it? In the best of all worlds, could you make it part of the docking bar?
3A) This is the most annoying "feature". I use SwiftKey for my keyboard app. Even though I have the navigation bar set to hide, any time I pull up the keyboard, there is the navigation bar. Right under the space bar. I can't tell you how many times I've missed the space far and hit one of the navigation buttons.
3B) This may be due to the wide-screen format of the tablet, but when you bring up the keyboard in landscape, and add in a cm for the navigation bar, it takes up 3/4 of the screen.
Any other thoughts, tips, tricks for migrating from a Tab S2 to an S4 are appreciated!
Thanks,
Joe
I've been using Samsung Pass on my Note 9 and now on the Tab S4. It seems to work almost anywhere: Apps & Browser. Although, not consistently. Still better than nothing. I also have Lastpass and it is a little annoying that I can't use iris scanner for that, but it gives you the option to use a PIN on the S4, which helps a little.
I just installed an app called simple control (On the Playstore). I have heard it works well for the Nav Bar issue, but I haven't tried it yet.
I can't speak to the other issues though, as I'v only had the Tab for 2 days.
As already mentioned, I also use Lastpass. I disabled Samsung pass for now as with Lastpass I can use on multiple devices. As far as the dock in Nova, not sure what's going on with that. I also find that annoying that it doesn't rotate either, thus I got rid of it. I just disabled it and placed my common icons right on the desktop. Then I added a shortcut icon to open the App Drawer. It rotates, so kind of like having the dock. In regards to the Navigation bar, try Samsung's One Handed Operation App in the Galaxy Store. It's a nice alternative to the Navigation bar. I wasn't sure I would like it at first but now use it exclusively. Thus I also now hide the standard Nav bar.

I use Samsung Pass & LastPass in conjuction.
So far both works perfectly on any apps & website.
I used to use Nova Launcher but in this Tab S4, I skip it because I think it has everything I need...and I also installed some apps to give more functional effects.
Those apps are: Rotation Control, Blockada & Internet Speed Meter
But if you really want a floating NavBar you can just activate its built in Floating Navbar called Assistant Menu
It's located in the Accessibility>Dexterity and interaction section
A & B : I don't use Swiftkey, but I use Samsung Keyboard in conjuction with Tab S4 Keyboard Cover.
You can resize Samsung Keyboard to your liking and if you use Tab S4 for typing I recommend you buy its Keyboard cover as it is a very good physical keyboard.
I hope my answer helps & if you still have any questions just ask me.

I managed to solve this with the help of another thread . You need to go to the Display settings for the device and change the zoom to the smallest value. You'll find that the dock will now show at the bottom when you switch to landscape.
Thank you so much! That fixed the dock! I appreciate you taking the time to point out the post I missed!
Take care,
Joe
