[Q] Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 + Youtube app issue

Hello everyone, I am having an issue with the newly updated youtube app and the tab 3 8.0. When I go into fullscreen mode for videos the video loading bar, the one where you have the play button and allows you to fast forward and such things, is missing. I have looked all over the settings but cannot find anything that would fix it. The only options I when I am on full screen are: on the top left which once I click it the video that is playing gets minimized and continues playing on the bottom right (new youtube app feature), and the 3 options on the top right which are add this video to a later watch list, share this video and the menu button. On the bottom where the loading bar (i.e. playing bar) such be there is nothing. On my GS3 the bar is there so I know that it is not the app itself. If anyone else is experiencing this issue and knows how to fix it, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

does anyone have this similar issue

This happens to with my youtube app also. I don't think it's an issue, I think its just part of the new design.

That's very unfortunate. I hope that this is changed on the next update because it makes no sense to have to change viewing format just so you can rewind a video.

This happen on my 10.1 too, and also on my galaxy s4 so its a new design thing

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] How to internet resize and settings question? How to minimize and close?

1.Hello, so the old note 10.1 has a "resize/multi window" button on the top right corner, how do I resize the internet browser in the 2014 edition w/o going into multi-window mode? As in just dragging the window a bit smaller?
2. Also, for settings - is it possible for settings to be in multi-window mode? I'd rather have it on the side so I can browse the internet while playing with the settings?
3. Anyway to close the internet browser by just pressing "x" in the corner or somewhere?
4. Also, how to resize apps like gallery w/o doing multiwindow?
5. Anyone else experience lag a bit w/ BT keyboard? When I get the word "English (US)" on bottom I always experience a bit of lag? Fix? I disabled onscreen keyboard.
6. For registering the $600 dollar parks, it keeps saying incorrect serial number and MAC address? I cannot seem to register.
Thanks!

You don't. If you want a resizable window open the browser in Pen Window using Air Command. Once you do, when you minimize it, you'll get a floating icon that lets you use your N10.1-14 normally but by clicking on the icon you can then open the browser at any time. A Multi View option like what you know as "Cascade" on the old Note is coming in the 4.4/M-UX update.

No. But using the above you can open a browser and have it running on top of anything else you want.

If you have a single browsing session up clicking "X" on its tab closes it and ends your Internet session (hitting "back" exists out of the browser). If you have multiple tabs open hit the menu button and select "close all."

No resizing, other than Pen Window apps, until 4.4/M-UX.

I get the pop-up but it doesn't cause any lag. I'm using a Samsung keyboard.

Do you have a Groupon refurb? It may have been previously registered. If not, contact Samsung support they've been pretty helpful according to those that posted issues getting the perks credit.

Woah, thanks. This was so helpful.
Another 3 questions:
1. Last one Moon reader+ supported multi-window and where I would just minimize moon reader and have the internet in the background? Is there any way to do this or do I wait until next update for casacae mode? Moon reader+ is a ebook reader btw. I was also able to move Moon Reader+ around wherever I wanted. I can't seem to do that here.
2. Bluetooth keyboard tends to lag in LectureNotes (badly) and has a slight, but annoying lag in QuickOffice. This doesn't seem to happen in Polaris Office, or when I do short typing. But once I type longer it starts lagging and sometimes English(US) pops up and cause more lag. Anyway to fix this? thanks.
I have Microsoft Wedge and this worked perfectly on my Note 10.1 2012.
Also, anyway to resize and move applications around that used to support multi-window? Like resizing any way you want to, not just to the right or left. How come some had multi-window in previous Note, but not anymore in this one? Like lectureNotes?
3. Another odd one is Polaris Office 5 says it cannot open a .docx file right after I downloaded it because it isn't supported. But it works fine when I look for it in file browsing in PO5.

Which browser are you using? The Android, Chrome or Samsung browser? I know talk about repetitive bloatware right.

Maybe try a different internet browser? I am using the Dolphin browser and was able to set my homepage in settings.

OK I fill really silly. Clicking on the 3 dots doesn't show the settings, and we'll just a moment ago I put my finger on that drop down and it scrolled up, errr didn't think to scroll the darn thing lol.
Well its figured out, think you all for posting to help me.

Funny, you aren't the only one who totally didn't notice the scroll. I missed it too, lol.

I want to know how to disable the damn swipe to zoom, or whatever. Every time I try to scroll in the browser, it changes the zoom level instead! Drives me insanes in the membranes!

Open up Internet browser click 3 dots at top, open up settings, click screen and text, the zoom setting are in there.
I hope that helps

Is there a way to get the dark Tab S menu on the Pro?

I was watching a review video to see what the Tab S had over the Tab Pro. On the Tab S the menus are all dark themed and I find the menus on the Tab Pro to be so blinding with that bright white. I'm guessing there is no official way, but I thought maybe someone had made a tweak for it once rooted. I did a quick search though and found nothing.

I have read about some people swapping out the system_ui.apk from the note 3, and replacing it in the tab 8.4 so in theory it the tab s system_ui.apk might work on the tab pro.. though I wouldn't attempt it unless you have some sort of recovery options available like CWM and ADB just in-case something goes wrong --
I know some-people have also used the Tab S touchwiz launcher on the tab pro, there is a thread somehwere on these forums, will edit this message if I manage to find the links again
