Pen and Swype question...

Got the Note today and love this thing especially compared to my Evo. I am trying to figure out if I can use the swype KB along with the pen. I could use the pen with the samsung KB but can I switch from the swype to the pen on the fly? Any help would be really appreciated.

There's an app in the playstore called GMD spen control, it lets you customize pretty much any gesture. I'm not certain but that app may allow you to do what your looking for. But I believe your device has to be rooted.
Sorry I don't have any more info, I'm brand new to the device as well. hopefully someone else will chime in.

No worries. I'll check it out. I am in two minds about rooting this and am not sure yet.

Popup browser? What happened to it from note 2?

Why doesn't the note 3 have the popup browser I just realized that. I use to use that all the time on the note 2. Wonder why they took it off the note 3.

Why would the Note 3 which is supposed to be complete new device from previous models carry over things from the Note 2?
The Note 3 is supposed to be unlike previous devices in both function, apps, and hardware.
There is most likely an APP you can get to do the same thing if you really need it.

Popup browser would of been great on the note 3

I think they just replaced it with Pen Window, so you just draw the box and select the stock browser instead.

Want pop-up browser back here go to galaxynote3root.com and search pop-up browser.

no root needed

Can't locate S Finder and Quickconnect

Does anyone know if there's a way to access S Finder and Quickconnect on the AT&T Galaxy 6 Edge? I can't freaking locate it.

1. Pull down quick settings, tap edit, look for quick connect icon.
2. Pull down quick settings, tap the gear, tap Search.

I don't have that on my AT&T 6 edge, that's why I was wondering where I can find those functions.

Does anyone have the S Finder and Quickconnect in the quick access panel for the AT&T 6 edge? If not, how do you access it (without creating activity shortcuts with Nova Launcher)?

I'm not surprised they removed those two from the drop down menu since there are so many variations of these phones.

Thanks for the link to the article. I had read that article but it seemed that people on AT&T were able to access those features, so I was wondering if I was missing something.

Discovered yesterday if you have your phone in a app that you can put in landscape mode if you pull down your quick settings you'll see s finder and quick connect there. Why you can't find them regularly is beyond me. But hope that helps you out. Though just saw you don't seem to have the options period so that is quite odd.

This is what I see on my quick panel.
As you can see, I don't have the S Finder and Quickconnect options.

That's odd as I don't have sbeam, multi window and a Couple other ones in mine. I actually saw someone in another forum who's layout of settings was completely different than mine. I suppose if you really use these features a lot you could try to Odin the original firmware and I'd think it should be there. Seems as this would be the only solution sadly. Though then in that case s beam will be gone along with a couple others. Now I'm kind of upset that I don't have a way to use s beam on my phone it's installed just non existent hah.

S beam was replaced by android Beam and is usuable through aps like Gallery or Es explorer to share with other phones that are NFC capable. This looks like the pull down from an S5 rather than an s6. which is really odd can you take a screenie of your Phone info. and show build number and such.

That I know but android beam sucks and goes through Bluetooth instead of sbeam using WiFi and Bluetooth. And from what I've seen editing the build.prop could enable s finder and quick connect.

Well that is certianly odd. to say the least. its like you have a S5 quick toggle drop..as air guesture and S beam were removed, one because ((S - beam cause Google produced a more universally working version and air gesture was more a battery hog than actually usefull)) But your build props and Device match description though. well quick connect, only usefull if you have a Smart tv and you want to show whats on your phone and google now pretty much can do what S-find does.)) but really other that doing a a full Odin with the stock firmware I don't know what to say.

Thanks, but I'm using shortcuts to those functions which I created with the Nova Launcher.

I had to exchange my device for another one due to some other issues and interestingly, S Finder and Quickconnect are both now in the quick panel.

One of the especially aggravating strategies carriers use is to meddle with the UI. Verizon crippled or removed a number of features on my Note 7. Thus I could not find Samsung Cloud Backup (15GB Free storage), or Quick Connect. I know VZW wants to sell me storage, but why do the care abou Quick Connect? Beats me. However, a user on another forum posted a solution. Download the app QuickShortcutMaker, install, then run. There are three categories. Scroll down ACTIVITIES and you will see Quick Connect ...as well as other missing components. Not all activities can be linked to a shortcut, only the main program. Quick Connect has more than four activities associated with it. The com.samsung.android.qconnect.ui.Main Activity seems to be the one to choose. Tap on it and then you'll see a screen to choose a shortcut, etc. I believe this can also be done with Nova Launcher, but I prefer to keep the original launcher or Google's launcher.

Car Mode

Am I missing something or was the "Car Mode" option removed in the Note 5?
I used this when docked in the car on the Note 4 using a NFC tag.

I just got mine today and I see Car Mode listed in the "Galaxy Apps" as a download.

Are you on Verizon? I don't see that.

It looks like Verizon has removed the Galaxy Apps. I know the link refers to the S6, but I think it is relevant.
I will start looking at third party apps.
http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s6/555893-car-mode-gone-s6.html

What dock/tag are you using? I'm interested in finding one with that + wireless charging built in

I am on Verizon and I have Galaxy Apps. It was on the 3rd homepage. If not there look in your wigits drawer.

Looks to be a flashable ZIP? Any way to get this as an installable APK for the unrooted/Verizon guys? Thanks.

It's not a flashable ZIP, just a few APKs that I zipped to upload as one file.

I have seen it in samsung app store. Also going in application list i see car mode apk still present. I have Note 5 with Verizon!

I dl'd it and disabled samsung notes. Much more robust program.
The only issue is that I had to re-activate samsung notes to take advantage of "screen of memo". It wont work without samsung notes active

What advantages does S-Note have over Samsung Notes?

Good old days, for start you could customize note covers, categories showed like folders (filing trays), you could customize background grid to other versions, like cross layout for maths and etc....
I don't understand why they removed these options.

Which was the one that you could copy and paste live links was it action memo?

Interesting. Thanks!

It's a ashame that they eliminated "photo notes" in the app. I thought it was a pretty handy feature. I tried to sideload it a couple days ago, but it wouldn't allow me.

Is the S note app available for the Note9 in the Galaxy App store or Google App Store? Without .apk etc.

Thank a lot. S note is much better than samsung note.

...and: it syncs to evernote.

Be warned it hogs a sensor usage for some unknown reason.View attachment 4727251

Not to mention that you could sync s note with evernote...there don't appear to be ANY sync capabilities with any 3rd party apps in samsung notes.
