I don't think I see it anywhere on any review
and no reviewer ever mentioned about how great smart select can extract the text just like note 4?
is it me or it's gone?
I know I can do copy paste using spen on the unselectable text where finger can't do copy
but it's just more steps
andddddd the multiple smart select is gone too!!
I'm not getting mine until Sept 11th
Its not gone, its in the little pop-up menu that comes up for the s-pen.

you mean when you hover the spen pretty close to the screen?
or when you detached the spen and get pop up menus?
The menu that pops up when you pull out the pen, or touch the onscreen pen icon (if youve already closed the menu when it opened itself up upon removing the pen from the phone).
oh what you mean is the smart select
I was asking about the text extraction on the smart select rather than how to access the smart select
it's on note 4
several people confirmed that it's gone and no more multiple smart select to be combined on one scrapbook

omg you're right
that multiple smart select is gone too
it's a pity if they decide to remove it because "no one uses it"
I love to group several pics in one scrapbook with description on each photo
is there an alternative way of saving several images in one scrapbook
or use s note and manually add photo one by one?
So we don't have text selection for an selectable text?
You can use Optical Reader to get text from images. I know it's not ideal, but it works.
It seems to only work from camera....

It is sad that we don't have the powerful OCR feature in smart select where one could 'read' text from pictures which would then be editable.
Smart select has been downgraded by Samsung and that is a real pity.
Wish someine from Samsung gets this feed back and does something about it
How can i make a shortcut for an app to open in pop up window?
There used to be an app called pen window launcher that had this capability.
Anyone?
Thanks
Just enable swipe from top diagonal to enter pop out view. Takes like 0.003s longer than having a shortcut.
Right. Shortcuts are for pansies.
Anyone builds it I'll buy it though.
Time is money (and finger strain is best avoided).

Any solution ever found? I'd really like this.
Whenever I try to swipe, I just keep opening the notification panel over & over.
Edge screen panel

Multi window edge screen panel lets you open apps in pop up view as well as two side by side apps.

Can you explain further? I can only seem to set app pairs and app shortcuts, would be great to have shortcuts that open in pop up mode.
Thanks
How would a shortcut be any faster than the 2 step process of opening an app and swiping down from the corner? I used to use the old method (pop-up window) which I believe was introduced on the Note 3. Anyway, when I updated my Note 3 to either the Note 4 or Note 5 rom (can't remember which), I had to learn the swipe method. Now, I couldn't imagine going back to the antiquated pen window. I will say that it's not as smooth swiping from the corner of a curved screen like the Note 7 & 8, but I usually have my s-pen out for more precise touch when I'm working off a smaller section of the screen. Honestly, I just use Edge for App Pair since the day I got the Note 8. But, swipe is still the quickest way to open pop-up or floating window.

How would it be faster? You answered your own question by your described method, open an app, swipe down from corner...I'd like to open the app (in pop up window).
There used to be apps in the play store that would created a shortcut for any app, that you can put on your home screen, that would just launch into a pop up window (1 step).
I was able to create a bixby shortcut for a 3rd party calculator to open in pop up window...I hold bixby and say calculate and it opens in a pop up window...it works but a shortcut would make life easier.

Perhaps i said the wrong edge app.. look in the edge app store for multi window launcher app. If you have that then change the setting to popup window.

Have you tried pressing bottom most button

Didn't realize u gotta hit the icon with 2 windows! Thanks alot!
On PlayStore, "Floating Apps (multitasking)" by LWi s.r.o., is exactly what you're looking for. It provides real shortcuts for the ability to instantly launch any app in variable sizes of real Galaxy Pop-up mode floating multi windows, in addition to providing dozens of their own original low kB mini-apps. Works great, saves time and effort, perfect size in an instant!

It is not missed but working differently.
You need to long press the open program button at the bottom of the screen and then choose the second window program you want.
Hope this helps

Thanks bro....but what about the feature where we can resize the window by swiping from top right or left
It is now only available as up and down, no right or left (at least I couldn't find it)
Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk
When in recent menu, just click the app icon. You will see the multi-window floating app option
It is soooooo annoying that you cannot swipe down and left/right from a corner to resize it to window view. Same thing with not being able to change recent apps view for a list.

Yeah this is totally a feature I used often. Especially when playing YouTube video and don't want to interrupt the playback I could swipe from either top corner and start using another application without interrupting the video or sound.

was having a bad day until I read this! [email protected] head scrather :laugh::laugh::laugh:
and can anyone Confirm I will suffer no " Sudden device death syndrome" if i Chose not to update until i Change this device?
really don't Understand how removing useful functions count as upgrades or Improvement. i still havent forgiven samsung for removing action Memo and easy chart. Why take away a useful function???
Glad I found this. I thought I was going mad.
Largely on the same subject, so rather than start a new thread...
Where has the button gone that swaps the top and bottom apps around when running two apps in splitscreen mode?
There used to be a few handy buttons between the two running apps, have they been ditched?
Multi window gone
My phone just updated and now my multi window feature is gone, I've gone thru every setting to find it
When viewing you're recent opened apps, each app has their icon at the top centre of it. Click on the icon. You'll get a small pop-up menu with options. You can choose: App info, open in split screen, pop up mode (where you can resize the app) and lock it.
I don't know yet what the lock functions does.
EDIT:
As mine is in Dutch, could be that the lock function has a different name in English.
The lock function: If you lock an app, and then close all recent apps, the locked app wil stay open. So if you're playing a game, you can lock it, close all recent apps and the game will stay open and running.

Yep, that was also removed. You can't popout the selected app, you can't switch app places. So, if you opened firstly viber (for example) and then youtube at the bottom and then decide to switch the apps place so you can type on viber without covering the youtube video - tough luck, now you have to close both app and open them again vs 2 taps in 1-2 seconds that will not interrupt anything. Also you miss the popout swipe from corner as said from others. You also miss the swipe up + hold for instant split screen (really useful when you play a video @ youtube, will not interrupt the video). You have the swipe up + hold for google assistant... but you don't have the same for the recents - go figure why (never mis-triggered the assistant, so it's not that). So many things are missing, half baked or straight forward broken - really disappointed. I like some aspects of the android 9 one UI, but others are just mind blow not polished at all or missing. I guess to have a "new" things for one UI 2.0 or note 10. After all, why you need a good multiwindow functionality on a phone marketed for multitasking and multiwindow? The note 9 really is more than ever an s9+ with a head scratcher.

Just to add to this, you can switch between multi view and currently open apps by holding down on the previous apps button for 2 secs then you can choose by 2 second press if you want multi window or just currently open apps.
I don't like that if you want to choose an app not in the recent window, you have to close all to be able to choose an app. Their multi-window has taken huge steps backwards. Kinda disappointing since that has always been a defining feature.

Well, I will correct myself, you can swipe to the home screen while choosing and select a different app that is not already in the recent window.
When you open Samsung members app the first thing that appears is something called advices... if you tap you will see some changes on the pie update ...
Other pie screwups
That's not all you've lost, my friend. The multi window setting is gone, as you know. The ability to swipe from the corner to resize and go multi window is gone, as you know. However, additionally, i noticed the following:
- The ability to enter your fingerprints to access Samsung browser secrecy mode is gone/disabled. You can only enter using iris scan or password.
- The phone optimisation edge panel is gone and nowhere to be seen.
- when you deactivate the nav bar in favour of swipe gestures, you cannot long press on the recent apps swipe area to enable split screen multitasking, as you would have with the recent apps button on the nav bar.
I hope there's a bug fix coming and soon

You can also swipe the multi screen spliter inbetween each app to fully open the bottom app and then select a different app for the bottom... it's still hokey but quicker than exiting out of both apps

Hey,
Not sure if anyone else has noticed but after the OneUI update I cant swipe down from top left to resize windows.
This was a really useful productivity feature when multitasking (especially at work).
you used to be able to enable "popup view" then you could swipe down from top left to "pop-out" windows but now the only way to do this is a long-winded long press on multiview window then long press again on the top of app then select pop-up view... its much less effective than just swiping down (also you need to follow this same process for each window you want to have floating...
Does anyone know how to get the older much better way of working again? - or has it gone for good?! :crying:

It was already discussed a few times. It's removed, all the good multiwindow features that we had in nougat/oreo in galaxy phones are gone. The oneUI solution is close to the google stock one. No swipe from corner, no menu between two split screen apps, no fast way to split screen via holding recents or swipe/hold (but it fires google assistant for example), no hold card in recents for fast split or popout. Everything was removed and this is really bad for my productivity. Feature that was marketed, especially with the note 9 that is phone for productivity and multitasking, feature that samsung were praised for how much better is vs the other android makers solution - removed. Well, good job.
Wow, I had not realised all. Of that is now gone... Sadness!!

Wrong, if you mean split screen mode it still exists. On OneUi you gota open recent apps and then hold down on app icon to get a menu and from there you got split screen mode. Also popup window exists still aswell. Which can be found in same menu as split screen. Swipe from corner can be enabled again in settings on One UI

Read my post again, I never said those features are removed. We(I) were talking about the shortcuts that were fast and convenient. Simple two examples:
I am watching youtube, decides I want to also msg on viber. Before I can only hold recents - open viber and start typing without the video interruption. Right now you will go to recents, video WILL interrupt, you will press the icon on the card, select split screen, then viber, then you will press play and wait for the video to start. Second scenario is when you decide you want to switch two split screen apps place - there is no mid menu anymore, so you need to close/open them. pop-out is also a lot slower to do and with more steps. Generally it's 3-4 times slower to do the same now vs oreo and the funny thing is - they easily could had avoided that - popout from corner option in the advanced menu, swipe recents and hold for instant split screen (right now it's like that for google assistant - swipe and hold, never mistrigger it so it's good) and return of the mid menu between two split apps. Simple, but they removed it all. They even removed in the newer second base that was released after the first one a leftover for hold recents when navigation bar is on for instant split screen.
I am still expecting this option to be reenabled by samsung. It was seriously useful as hell and now i feel my phone is half broken

Try Nice lock from xda:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/themes/nicelock-module-download-links-module-t3923844
It's Good Lock for the places that can't get it from Galaxy store.
Everything you need is on first post, the launcher and modules...
Edit.
It doesn't bring back the hold down recent key for multiwindow though. You now have to have an active app running, tap on recent key, select and hold down the second app you want and slide it to top or bottom of screen to activate split screen.
Hey, I have the TMO variant on Android 10 and it seems like they got rid of the multi Window/split screen feature? The one where you got 2 apps open on the same screen, one on top of each other.
It used to be that we could hold down recent apps button and select the 2nd app to share the screen with but it's no longer working?
Tried all apps I knew that worked with it, some don't.
Can't find an option to enable it in settings either, I guess I'm the only one that uses it cuz nothing but instructions that don't work in Google searches, theyre for older OS versions.
Dang, hoping they didn't get rid of it or someone here knows?
Thanks homiez
Tap the icon at the top left next to the app name after hitting the block button and a little sub menu will appear. You'll see "multi-window" to trigger the split screen.
