Lockscreen notification... - Note 7 Questions & Answers

I use just swipe to unlock on my Note 5 and now my Note 7. On my note 5 i can just turn the screen on , expand my notifications and tap one to go into it. For some reason on my Note 7 I have to expand, tap it and then swipe the screen again to open it and unlock the device.. Any ideas why?

I was wondering the same thing all of my galaxy phones including my last one S7 Edge did not require the extra step swipe the screen to open notification really don't like the extra step

Multi Screen Features Not working

I need real help. Multi screen feature in my note 2 is not fully working since couple of week back.

1. I click to activate 'Multi screen" from notification window.
2. I've got multiscreen panel left side of screen.
3. Open the screen dragging any of the application to current screen while other application is running.
now there should be screen splitted away automatically for two application but in my case its not splitting away,I tries to find settings for multi-window function did not find one.
PLS Help.

Pen Window for apps

Hi,
Is the pen window feature missing from Note 7 ?
I can use split screen but where is pen window ?
Thx.
it's now called "pop-up window"
I don't know if they changed it much with the note 7, but on the note 4 there are 3 ways to open an app in a pop-up window:
drag down diagonally from either top corner.
in the task switcher, long press an entry until it turns into an icon and drop it where you want the window.
drag an icon from the sidebar(possibly the edge launcher now)
thanks. that's very helpful.

One handed op back button

When I had the Note 4 Samsung had a control panel similar to pie controls (back, home, menu etc...) that you could swipe from the side panel. It was built into Touchwiz and It was really convenient.
I can't find the option on my Note 7. What gives?
I've tried other pie controls but I get the stupid "screen overlay detected" everytime another app asks for permissions.
Anyone know of a control app that doesn't make that screen overlay window pop up without rooting?

Is double tap to turn off screen possible

As the title suggests is it possible to double tap on empty area of Home Screen to turn the phone off just like we use Double tap to wake the phone.
This was an inbuilt feature on Asus Zenfone 5z and seems counter intutive to have only one option to turn the screen on and not off here.
Regards
One option; with Nova launcher
Yes, likely via custom ROMs.
Also, probably via custom launchers. Nova Prime allows double-tap to "lock screen". Double tap to "screen off" very likely via a specific 'Nova activities' option but I haven't figured this out yet.
EdXposed ---> install GravityBox ---> it's then possible to turn screen off via double-tap on lock screen or via double-tap on status bar.

Actually you can turn it off with one tap... if you use a hammer

You can use edge screen. SoftKey Edge. There is a lock option. It is not double tap but it works.
you can add the screen off icon at navigation bar with a samsung app called Navstar, with that you can single tap to turn off the screen
Good Lock - Navstar adds a navigation button to turn the screen off

I dont see any gestures for that in nova launcher?
You must have the prime license, in gestures&inputs there are multiple options to choose from, for each gesture you can choose any action available, you can even have the same action assigned to multiple gestures, I use one finger down to lock, and also double tap to lock

As i already have Nova prime, this worked perfectly. Thanks.
Nice just learned something new. Used nova star and added screen off and notification bar button. Now I have 5 buttons readily available.
Wish you could open and app with a button. That way I can reserve the power double tap for another app.

Feeling seriously numb right now. I've used Nova (Prime) for years, and never knew that was there. Searched all over for a good program to sleep/ lock. Found a very simply one (Screen Lock Widget 1.0) which is no longer available, but I have. Works great. No resources used. But having the ability in Nova is great.
So.....thank you for sharing that. It's the simple things in life.
It makes no sense why Samsung would give us the means to tap awake our screen but not add that option to turn it off.
That was a weird decision for not including double tap to sleep. It's like making an automatic car with clutch where the clutch is only used for the reverse lol.
Anyhow, this is by far the best app on the playstore that can put the phone sleep and still use the default One UI.
The nice thing about it is that you can also tap on the status bar to put the phone to sleep while using an app for instance.
Tripe tap on the home screen is recommended though, you'll understand why after using it for a while

The only review from a Note 10+ user of this app suggests not to install.

That is very interesting, I never use always on display and it seems like the Note 10 has a lot of issues. For instance Samsung voice recorder app doesn't play recorded audios while the screen off( stops playing after 2min or so).

I just tried Nav Star app from within Good Lock (From Samsung App store) and added 2 extra buttons.
Thanks to the user who recommended it earlier, now I can turn off phone as well pullbdown notification bar from the Navigation bar, if I can get used to these extra buttons I might as well keep them.
Yes software wise they do need to improve a lot of things here.
1. First Install Good Lock :
http://apps.samsung.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.samsung.android.goodlock
2. Then Install Nav Star : http://apps.samsung.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.samsung.systemui.navillera
Well, very useful indeed, but I prefer hiding the nav bar, just to avoid screen burn in and to get some more screen area

Split screen

Split screen on the Note 8 had a small toolbar. You could lock part of the screen, swap screens, etc. On the Note 10+ nothing. Anyone know how to activate toolbar or do we just wait for an upgrade!!!
Did you try Good Lock and MultiStar app within? it gives you more options to play with

Not sure if this will help..
Press the icon on your navigation bar for recent apps. By default it should be the bottom left corner button (mine looks like 3 vertical lines) .
Then when the app your looking for is displayed press the icon that appears at the top of the app. One of the options will be to open in split screen view, open in pop-up view
Yep, that's cool. Know that. Just need to know if there's a way to swap screens and snap text or images. At the moment nothing is fixed, so when I click on keyboard top text or images disappear, i.e. move up!
