recent app button stop working if you change date and revert.
to create this problem, launch several apps then goto setting date and time. change the date to 1 or any day ahead of the actual date. now hit recent app to switch to any app opened then hit the recent app button to change the date back to actual date/automactic time zone. press the recent app button again and nothing will happen. your recent app button is broken and have to do a reset to get i working.
Confirmed. But back to normal when I changed again to actual date.

No. It wont be back to normal without a soft reset of some kind.

If you long press the recents button or switches between your 2 most recent apps. At least it does for me on LS. I haven't used the stock room in a long time so I don't recall if it worked there.

Great suggestion but
Only switched between the last 2 apps.
Wish we could move around a few more

I wasn't sure if it would still work using GMD because I haven't used it in a while.
I wish Google would allow the option to send a text message from the phones recent list it has redial and details they should put "message" there too. I only have the option to call the number back. It is frustrating. Also the ability to stop a download mid way. Are there anything else?
Long press on the download in the status bar then click on it and then hit the trash icon or go to downloads in app drawer and do the the same

thanks
And clear the recent apps with one touch, enable blacked out theming as an option, and double tap to wake and put the device to sleep
Clearing recents, they'll never do and with good reason. What they should do is allow us to limit how many apps are shown, like recently does.

Does anyone know what this is? Can't seem to find what it does?
It excludes the app from being closed if you hit the close all button.

When I hit the close all button it disappears though. I've been thinking about ODINing pie to my phone. I OTA updated and then factory reset. Stuff doesn't seem right, like my alarm screen doesn't have the increasing ringtone option anymore either... Any thoughts? Does yours stay in the recents?

From what I was able to research, the gradual volume increase is missing from the Samsung Clock app. There appears to be different settings for each category on the vertical 3 dot menu. I have seen suggestions to install the Google clock app but YMMV.
I just tried again with locking the app and it does stay when I hit close all. When I check the recents afterward, the only app that appears is the one I locked with the lock symbol in the bottom right corner.
Another friendly question. Do you have any idea why the pen doesn't work with some apps? I've noticed 2 for sure. One is free the other was paid. Evolution of Species 2 and Excapist 2. Neither will work with the pen remote settings on or off. I figured the pen would produced the same affect as the finger...
Best I can gather is that some apps are coded specifically for touch input. If I'm understanding correctly, the pen is considered direct input which is different than touch. I found an old Reddit thread that might explain it better...

About setting for volume increase in clock app. That setting has been removed and that auto increase is now done automatically.
I checked with Samsung about it and they confirmed that setting was removed and that volume auto increases as default now. In android pie
Hello!
I had an update (April security update for Pie) and now multiwindow has stopped working. Holding down the recents does nothing, I can't even find a mention of multiwindow in settings. WTH? Anyone else have this?
To clarify, I'm talking about split screen. Windowing still seems to work OK...

In the recents screen, press and hold the app icon and a menu with options will Pop up including split screen.
Install Good lock and MultiStar module to get the full multi window features back. The only thing is gone is the holding down the recent key to multi window. Now it is all in the recent screen by taping the app icon or dragging the app down or up on top of an active app. (Have an active app running, tap on recent button and sliding the desired app up or down to activate multi window. )

Thanks, all. These options work. Weird how they removed the long-press on recents....

Correct, it was a leftover from betas/android oreo - they never intended to have it there (iirc), thus they removed it as a "bug fix"... I also don't agree with their decision + they are big customer for google, I also refuse to accept the reasoning how google policy forced them to gutter the great multitasking they had on oreo, nougat and even MM. As said, multistar/goodlock returns 90% of the functionality + you can even turn on two activities same time, that way while you game you can open another app in pop-out without game freezing on the background, etc.
