Multi window - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

I just purchased an unlocked note 9. Model n96ou running Android 9. Latest security patch December 1. It has TMobile splash screen and 2 TMobile apps that cannot be disabled or uninstalled. Phone status is official. I am using a Cricket Sim.
When setting it up I realized it does not have multi window capability. Is this normal? Also when I watch some tutorial videos I notice certain layouts (like the recent apps) is different. Mine scrolls left and right, not up and down. Any thoughts?

Im pretty sure you are talking about GoodLock Modules. They can be downloaded from the Galaxy Store.
As for the Multi-Window im pretty sure you just click the app icon and open in split screen or something like that. I haven't used it much since oreo. You can also enable "Force Activities to be resizeable" in developers options.
For the T-Mobile apps you could try
adb uninstall -k --user 0 <Package Name>
Just note uninstalling systems apps has the potential to cause problems proceed at your own risk.

My settings doesn't have a developer option. This is how the recent app screen looks. No multi window function. View attachment 4906853View attachment 4906855View attachment 4906857

when in the recent apps menu press the icon and hold it for a second or two and you will a new menu with options, one of those is multi window.

No luck. No matter how long it is pressed it just opens the app. It appears my phone doesn't have the functionality.

Ha! Resolved. I needed to be tapping the very top of the app icon. [emoji849]View attachment 4907009

That's a toast notification and not one that's standard in Android. If you have any sort of task killer app or cache cleaning app I would look at that as the first culprit.

What is a toast notification? I have no task killers installed and never have.
It just refers to the style of notification you're seeing. Toast notifications are popups that are not actionable and not persistent.
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/toasts.html
Unfortunately there's no easy way to determine what is generating the toast notification unless you are rooted. Some people have reported that the M-Go app produces these notifications. Regardless, it's not part of stock Android and it is being generated by some app that you have installed.
I do have the MGO app uninstall it for now to see what happens. Thanks for the info.

I don't want to talk to you early but I think uninstalling MGO fixed that issue. I haven't had that error since I removed it.
Thank you for the suggestion.
Sent from my XT1095 using Tapatalk
has now been a full day without the M-Go app and no errors. Bettery also has been much better without that app installed.
TY again for the info
I'm glad this worked for you. What does MGo do anyway?

Video service that took over the service Samsung had. Only use it now because I had some credit from some titles that did not transfer from Samsung. I have about $40 credit. Will use it till I am out of credit. It supports Chromecast too.
Have not reinstalled it and error has been gone since. Phone battery is better without it too.

Android 6.0 Fingerprint Scanner and Multi Window

Hi guys, i just recently updated my nexus to 6.0. I used the factory image and did a clean install, so now my phone is not rooted and I have to wait for 6.0 root. Anyways my question is, since updating I could not find any fingerprint scanner option in the settings of nexus 6, neither was I able to find any multi window option in nexus 6 settings.
How do I use these features?
LOL!
The Nexus 6 doesn't have a fingerprint scanner so you're not going to find any settings for that. To enable multiwindow you need to edit your build.prop like so:
1. Backup your old build.prop somewhere
2. Use Root Explorer (or any app with the ability to edit the build.prop) to find the line that says "ro.build.type=user"
3. Change "user" to "userdebug"
4. Save changes and reboot
5. Go to settings-> developer options-> and it's in the drawing section with the window animation speeds.

The fingerprint scanner is hardware, not software. It won't ever exist on the Nexus 6. It exists on the 2 new Nexus models and on the newest Samsung models.

The screen would need to be a special screen that can scan fingerprints. Yours is not.
Lmao this is precious
So this means that if i have previously locked my Nexus with my finger i won't be able to unlock it? Damn. Should read the manual beforehand ...

Best Xposed password protection module??

Hello guys I've been using several password protection apps for a while now, but I've read somewhere that they are draining the battery a lot faster, which is true is some cases since I have noticed that my battery "dies" faster with the apps (I'm only using 1 app at the time)...
My question is, if I use an Xposed module, do you think that is better? Or should I just continue using a password protection app from playstore?
Also if you recommend using a Xposed module instead, which one is the best?
I use Maxlock. Never was a fan of app locks till I gave this a shot. ?

This is opening Xposed Installer. If you don't enter the password, it's impossible to get into the app by clicking back or anything else like some apps.

I like ProtectedApps. Everything else I tried (though I never attempted MaxLock) allow me to kill the top app (locker) and skip into the (now no longer) locked app

but u can delete app from data partion. either by root explorer or by aroma file manager through recovery. But once I was using maxlock xposed I set a knock code and enable the hide line option and then I was unable to unlock any app. I dont know why though I was using the correct pattern. So I had to delete it using aroma 'cause I locked every app. So that's the drawback i.e missing reset feature. So if u want to use xposed lock apps then be cautious and once research urself on the mentioned facts, though their r many xposed app for locking. [emoji6] [emoji6]

Discrepancy screenzoom font sizes

Hi,
I put my wife's and my Note 8 to 411dpi then went to the screen menu options. Made adjustments to the zoom and font slider yet her not final outcome doesn't match mine or vicer versa. Attached two images about what I'm talking about. I also noticed her slider adjustment has more adjustment values that mine. Hers is the white screen , both TMO Note 8.

Looks like the dark one is running theme, uninstall the theme and see if there are still differences.

Yes you are right. It's running a theme.
This is as close I could get the two devices in font and screen zoom.
Still not identical, you think it's the theme causing this ?

Not sure, but could be. I've ran a theme and things were different, just uninstall it and see.
The answer is accessibility. If you go into display setting there and enable 'larger font sizes' at top, you will then have access to more incremental sizes regardless of DPi and theme.

When enabled it will allow apps like Nova launcher or Greenify etc to perform some actions which otherwise might need root

Is that option present by default? Or did an app place that option there? Cheers

Yes...when enabled it provides an instant tutorial within the phone for certain things instead of having to go outside the phone and Google certain things. However as you can tell from my screen shot I have it disabled so I have no idea how good it really is.
