Annoying keyboard switch shortcut, how to get rid of? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

I don't recall this being here all along, but this little shortcut is massively annoying.. It pops up when I'm trying to type. Does anyone know the setting to get rid of this?
Thanks in advance...

Seriously it really annoys me also

It used to be in the status bar... I find it more convenient now.

I would also if it didn't hit my finger all the time.. There should be an option to turn it off for those of us that do not like it..

Do you use any other virtual keyboards? If not, disable all but the one you do use and then that button disappears.
I too found it annoying catching it by accident but I only use the one keyboard so this solves it for me.

Well, that's what I have always done.. But.. I found that I could only get the "pen input" if I didn't disable the Samsung keyboard.. Now that I think of it, that must be why, because once I enabled that, it began showing up..

Wish I knew how to get rid of the super annoying Samsung web browser scroller bar on left side of screen. One touches it and the whole screen scrolls up or down .

Dialer hidden setting

Hi all. I'm looking and trying but I can't find the setting to make all the buttons hidden during a call and just show a tab to drag up to show the dialer. I've set it before but it gets reset everytime I update cm7. Thanks!

Ok, still no solution, so maybe this will help....
currently my in call screen looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It used to look like this:
Somewhere through updating the cyanogen 7 nightlies I lost the option for "Force Touch UI" so that option is of no help.
any help would be great as I keep hitting buttons with my face because the proximity sensor on the phone is crap

The heroc does not have a proximity sensor.
As to the other question, I have not been able to find the option to hide the buttons. The only thing I can think to do would be to set the screen to turn off sooner.
There was an app or mod a while back that used the light sensor to turn the screen off or make the buttons go away. I cant remember what it was called but should work.
The second screen shot looks like an alternative dialer app. Might be worth it to try a non-stock dialer app to see if it does what you want.

[Q] Pressing notifications on lockscreen doesn't open app

Hi guys
I just upgraded my HTC One to Android 4.4.3 with Sense 6 using a custom rom (MaximusHD 42.0.0).
When I recieve a text message, I naturally see a notification of this on my lockscreen (see picture).
If I tap on the notification, nothing happens, only for the visual representation that I pressed it (colors change a bit).
I would assume that the message app would open when I tap the notification.
If I remember correctly, the correct behaviour was available in Sense 5/5.5
Could this be a mistake in the custom rom or just an overal feature missing from Sense 6?
It's really stupid to unlock the phone + slide down the notification center and press the notification.

It's sense 6 feature. You can slide down in order to get that rectangle and then click on message and it will open. For notification bar you don't need to unlock your phone. Just pull down whith screen on

Thanks!
It works now, but it's pretty weird and inconvenient if you don't know that it works that way.
Anyway, thanks man!

LG G6 T-Mobile No WiFi Calling Quick Settings Tile? Anything to Supplement?

I jumped over from the Samsung S7 Edge which had a wifi calling quick settings tile for Nougat.....Is there a way to add one without root? Or an app that has a widget for it?
Or a way to add a home screen button through Nova Launcher?
I've been trying to figure this out for about an hour now
[Double post]
WiFi calling is in the phone settings. Open the dialer, hit the menu buttons and settings.

I was asking if there was a way to add a quick settings tile for it along with the others under the top notifications bar.

App keyboard is tiny not edge to edge

I have seen in several apps the Samsung keyboard is shrunk by almost half, not touching the sides of the screen, and it's like a miniature version of the keyboard. Does anyone else have this issue? Is it just an app developer thing that is conflicting with the new screen size?
One app I know is doing it Hearthstone

Turn off one handed mode. I use Gboard for its larger, more customizable keyboard.

That's not the fix.
This is the gaming mode keyboard. You need to go to Game Tools and turn the gaming keyboard off.
I searched settings for all things game, none have the keyboard option. I looked into the game launcher settings, and it wasn't there either.
It was a setting in game tools. It's called floating keyboard, and it was auto set to on. I had to open a game, go to the game tools icon on the nav bar, then go to "additional feature". The option was in there.
BTW: thanks for the help guys.

Touch Button

Why is there only LR on touch buttons? There is a T button in the explanation.

My phone is a global ROM.
Hi,
Does that setting only show up in certain games or should it be standard ?
I can't find that setting
When in game space (red switch top left of your phone) open up a landscape game and then swipe from right to left on the right side of the screen.
Then press touch button like on my screenshot.

this is so so so annoying, in youtube if you press any of the buttons or the fingerprint, it acts as you clicked on the screen
if you press the buttons while scrolling in chrome it slows the scrolling af
I wish there was a way to disable this thing
In my Chinese version the side buttons are disabled unless your using game space. The Fingerprint is sometimes anoying tho, when pressed in Chrome it wants to search on the current website.
So theyll prob fix it in a upcoming update for all versions.

Hi guys,
If you want to customise the buttons, there is a really simple solution.
Just install "Button Mapper" from Aaron SEGAERT.
It will allow you to get custom actions for those buttons.
You will be able to configure : Simple tap ; Double tap and Long press.
Of course, you can configure it do "Do nothing"...
Problem solved
Hope this helped.
Regards.
