wow did not pay attention to new swype settings....
sprint galaxy tab 7 with 2.3.4
does it allow multitask, if so how? clicking home or holding while in other apps does nothing. i have to exit or back all the way out to get to other applications.

Works fine for me as it does on every other android device I have and have played with.. Hold home, the list of currently/recently running apps pops up, and also gives you the task manager button.. If that doesn't work for you on your Tab, you may have a config issue.
I gifted it out. Tried rooting phone and it messed up. reset phone and it is good. Thanks

Anyone know how to get rid of the custom ATT Market? I would like to replace it with the stock Android Market app so that I can see my list of downloads!
I had over 70 apps installed on my G1. It would be nice to see the list of apps I had purchased to re-download - instead of seeing that crappy ATT button at the top right!!!!
I installed the Market.apk and vending.apk from the Nexus! CM5 gapps.zip file. But, there must be something telling the Market app on this device to alter the menu!
Dam irritating!
Oh, just found that if I select the menu button there is a Download button to see that same screen as indicated above.
Would still be nice to leave out that extra step as I could CARE LESS WHAT THE CRAPPY ATT wants me to see!!!

Turn Airplane mode on, turn wifi on and connect to wifi. Now browse market sans AT&T.
I hear you.... But, there should be a way for us to delete some files or change some code so that we don't have to take the above steps.
Verizon does the same thing. Is this really such a big issue???
Guess I'm just spoiled! LOL! I like opening up the Market and having the option to see all of my purchased/installed apps with the touch of a button instead of having that other STUPID button up there that I'LL NEVER USE!
Just the modder in me! I pushed the stock Market and vending apk's from CM5 - but, it still opened up with the stupid ATT button.
Market Enabler does this function for you. Google search for it but you have to side load it and be rooted. Have to launch it & config for T-Mobile b4 each Appworld visit on your phone.
Works like a charm.

Hi, guys. I've noticed that with Android, all apps that are opened keep running even when you hit the home button. On my iPhone 4, I used an app called 'Backgrounder' where I could long press the home button to decide which apps would be 'backgrounded' like Android apps are. Is there a way to disable multitasking for all apps except the ones I choose? This would really save me some battery life.
Thanks.
try using the back button I think it works better than just hitting home, at least it does for me
^+1 use back button to close out apps you want closed and home for apps you want open. This is not 100%, but it will close out most of your apps

Hey guys just wondering if anyone else has an annoying side effect since jb in that in a large number of apps since i have upgraded the back button cause a double tap specifically in forum apps. So for example pressing back once will go back 2menu items or if there aren't2 left to go back then the app will reload itself, i have to Say it is quite annoying! Worth stating that it happens even when using the in app back function too

Can you name the app? Because I don't think I have such a bug. Would love to try the app you're having problem with.

apps in question are avforums and hotukdeals (there are 2 separate apps I have tried) doesnt do it in all apps and doesnt do it in browser so not really sure what is happening but certainly only started when i installed the leaked jb and also with the official one.

Tried installing AV Forum n Hot UK Deals. Been navigating those app for 20 minutes each and the back button are just fine.
I have gone through my AT&T Note 3 thoroughly and disabled most bloat.
I am finding the "My Magazine" app quite annoying due to single clicks of home button while on home screen and accidental upward swipes.
I have yet to figure out how to uninstall or disable it yet.
Does anyone know how?

I think until root is achieved if you cant disable it in app manager if you use a third party launcher it stops it from activating

Open My Magazine, hit your menu key, settings, you can turn off the option to open it via the home button... Unfortunately not with swipe up though. It seems like swiping is more difficult to open it anyway so it's less annoying.

is there any way to start the my magazine as an app and put on my home screen etc?
i cannot seems to find it in the app draw
I don't understand why they have this and flipboard. It is basically the same thing with a different interface and less customization.
It's annoying as hell for me because I already have flipboard as a damn widget. What's worse is you can't even put your flipboard account on there.

In a search on another thread to find a solution for getting to the home screen or home page without pressing the home button, user Dankchild provided this app:
Swipe Home Button Free
It creates a small area at the bottom of the screen where you can swipe up and it will take you home (or another custom action you set). You have to swipe from a little off the bottom of the screen up, and the magazine action is still there if you start on the screen, but since installing this and getting used to swiping from the bottom starting off the screen, I haven't opened the magazine application once. Not a fix but it is working great for me and killing two birds with one stone!
I'm looking for the same thing-a way to disable the stupid My Magazine swipe-up gesture. It's half baked and useless to me. Flipboard is much better and more customizable and I hate that the gesture is there at all in the stock launcher. There has to be a way around this somehow.
I went in to My Magazine and turned off the launch when pressing home button. Then with my phone rooted I froze it with titanium backup. Now if you swipe up from the bottom you get a little popup that says "No app found" or something like that. I have not found a way to get rid of that completely, maybe with that swipe up program listed above.
I also went into My Mag and disabled the button. Switched to NOVA launcher and now it doesnt activate if you swype up from the bottom of the screen...not sure if I did anything to disable it.

If you disable the apk it messes with the stock e-mail app for some reason. I spent days trying to figure out why until someone in another thread suggested I try unfreezing it. Now I haven't had any issues for about 3 days with the e-mail app.

Is this only with the stock e-mail (not gmail) app, or does it effect other stock apps too?

I am pretty disappointed with this. I was hoping I would not have to root the device.
You MUST agree to the Terms and Conditions / Privacy Policies to be able to "disable" the home button binding. If you force stop, clear data then the binding returns.
What was Samsung thinking when they thought they should FORCE everyone to use it or SUFFER the inconvenience...

Jokesonme gave you the answer! With that app you don't have to root and you can have it do nothing when you swipe or switch it to a different app.
Thanks jokesonme!!

Did not work for me. Even with installing the app and trying different bindings, it will either FC TouchWiz or go to the app not found screen in Google Play.
Sadface. Can't wait to put on a custom ROM without all the bloat.
This is horrible every like 20 minutes I'm gettin the error. I don't wanna root I wanna stick to stock.
Any other options?
I really don't like the 7.0 version of Google Maps, so much so that I rooted my phone (HTC One) to install the 6.x version. I use the Navigation app all the time in my car. My problem is that no matter what I do, it keeps getting updated to the 7.x version every few days. I have it detached from the Market with TiBackup Pro, and turned off all Market updates for all apps on the phone. It doesn't matter, in a couple of days I'll jump into my car, hit the Navigation button from the Car menu screen and get "welcome to 7.0!". I can restore it from my backup in about 5 minutes, but who want to do that everytime I get in the car. Any ideas?

Playstore>settings>do not auto update, that's it.
Why did you go into so much trouble. I find 7.0 a major improvement. Anyways, just uncheck the auto update for Maps in the three dot menu

What can I say, but I (and lots of other) have a different opinion. But anyway, I don't see any auto update available. And it has been detached using TiBackup.

when you go in the playstore and you click inside of the Maps application,
if you hit the menu button next to the share button, make sure the "Auto update" box is also unchecked,
not just the one in play store settings. That's how I got my snapchat to stop updating.
Hope that helps!

Nope, when I do that, it goes to the same setttings page as the store, which is already set to 'do not update', nothing specifically for that application. I"m running 4.3, maybe that's different.

I had this issue with another app. The solution was to re-sign the app so that the Play store didn't recognize it. Check out this link and let us know if it works for you:
