[Q] how to stop auto rotate landscape portrait

is there any way to stop auto rotate between landscape and portrait?

Yes all you have to do is press the cog or the gear looking button in the top right hand corner then all the way to the left side the 1st button it says unlock or locked depending if its already unlocked. press the button so it displays unlock this States that's its in the lock position set it to any you want then lock it

Spen not working correctly? Screen sensivity at fault?

hello there mates!
Just got my tablet and I'd like to ask you guys something )
Is it normal that you have to press really hard onto the tablet?
the tablet wouldn't even recognize an input when i drop the pen from about 1cm onto the tab.
Is that normal? I doubt it. I activated the dot when hovering on the screen and that works great...am I missing some essential settings?
In addition...why is there no possibility to write with handwriting-to-text when creating a post on xda(writing anything)? Isn't the pen exactly made for this?
Sincerely yours

Try removing the the pen nib and putting it back in. Or use one of the spare nibs. if it doesn't get better you may need to replace the stylus entirely . try some test apps like Markers and see what happens. I found the S pen requires more pressure in system use ( i.e. clicking on the home icon) than in app use.
Finally If you can visit a store which demos the Galaxy Note phone try that stylus on your tablet and see what happens.

Look in the 'tips and tricks' thread, there is a great video from hasc on writing to text which works for all input.

Yeah the default Samsung keyboard has handwriting recog built in. On mine its a button on the bottom left that looks like T/ except the slash is a pencil

Also, the screen sensitivity probably has nothing to do with it since the spen relies on a separate principle alltogether to register the touch. It seems as though the nib presses back on a button that registers how far you press it, so if the button is a little stiff on y8urs (it is on mine) well then get used to it.. its not that bad.

Unannounced/Bugs of 4.1.2 JB Update

I'd like to ask everyone the changes done by 4 . 1.2 that weren't announced by samsung.
1 new number format in stock messages app which separates international code area code and number
2 S calendar during write mode. The write on/off on the pen button has beem removed. In order to move to another month you have to turn the whole write mode off (veeeeery annoying)
3 wifi saving mode / problems - disconnects a lot
4 new changes to qwerty stock keypad. Quick symbols menu had a revamp of sorts
Any other changes?
Oh snap! I don't have a witty tapatalk signature!

when you've closed all tabs in the default browser and you get to the about:blank page. previously on 4.1.1, if you hit the back capacitive button on this page, it will just go back to the last page you were on before you closed all tabs to get to the about:blank page, and you can continue to access the previous pages by hitting the back button.
on 4.1.2, after closing all tabs and getting to the about:blank page, hitting back will now exit the browser.
not really a bug. its something novel that i actually liked, and sorta shows that samsung are starting to think of the little things more.

Wow if this is true, then it's certainly a good news! Previously, there was no way to exit/lose the browser completely. Have to swipe it off the Recent Apps list to fully exit the app.

Im currently facing an issue with the Pen Detection within Samsung Keyboard settings. It's not working on the 4.1.2 firmware on my 7105.
The handwriting recognition itself works, but it's just not automatically activated when I pull out my S-Pen. Anyone else with this issue? I tried resetting the settings within the Samsung keyboard settings as well as Clearing Data within Applications for the Samsung Keyboard and it still does not work.
Edit: Duh. It still works. My bad. Turns out that you gotta pull the S Pen out before the Samsung keyboard pops out. Once it appears, pulling out the S Pen will not automatically change the keyboard to handwriting recognition.

Strange..cause if I recall correctly, it used to work even when the Samsung keyboard is already out.

I just hate this, I just hate this.
Haven't checked second point yet.
And the battery backup should be the major compromise we are facing. It's about 15% lesser than 4.1.1, which isn't good.
Oh, if you want to have an exit option in stock browser just check the CSC topic. It's easy.

I guess not every update is perfect. Still being able to rearrange my drop down menu is a big plus. Battery drain is a bit faster but that's expected of new features are added but it isn't noticeable. I just wish Samsung fully tests of their updates and provide a complete list of changes.

Thanks! Just tried and it does work. But I personally dislike the quick controls.. Requires too precise selection.. My fat thumb can't select it properly. Haha

Tapatalked mit meinem Galaxy Note 2

There is a bug in YouTube mentioned in another thread. My touchscreen lost some sensitivity which is really annoying. The battery life stated sucking a tad bit. It's always like this, better not to upgrade.
I'm gonna revert, just dreading backing up all my files.. Thought this wouldn't be an issue anymore, I think 4.1.2 is a step down from the previous version.

Thanks for the info, and thanks goodness it isn't available where I live.i'm still on 4.1.1 and no issues so far.

One thing I've found is when you create a shortcut in bar for NFC menu, sometimes when the NFC icon picture gone and you want to try activate to NFC, the system UI will crash and it will restarted yhe the UI then you should activated through setting menus by manually.

thank you for posting this up...honestly, the only thing I know in 4.1.2 JB update was battery life sucked very much.
and i was surprised that there are more listed. :laugh:

No Back Jumping Animation
Ive found that apart from battery life that sucks after the 4.1.2 update, I have also lost the back jump animation. Now, pressing the back button takes you to the home screen/launcher rather than jumping to the other open app. In 4.1.1, after pressing back, the previous app would jump in from the top. Now that no longer happens.
Also the phone is a bit laggy, 4.1.1 was so much smoother. Auto rotation doesnt work smoothly and instantaneously.
I have read on other threads that doing a factory reset, solves the battery drain. Anyone tried it here?
Anyone else face this issue? im on stock 4.1.2 DLL7.

Mine always worked like the way you described. If you pull out the S Pen and hit a textbox, the handwriting mode is enabled, but it doesn't switch the keyboard when the s pen is pulled out during typing. I think it is working correctly, but definitely makes a lot of sense to switch it for you when you pull out the S Pen.

On ubdll3, drain seems to have gone away.

S-Pen Screen Write Option is Not Working!?!?

I have tried everything I know. I pull the S-Pen out and the Menu pops up. I hover over the Screen Write option and click the button on the S-Pen and the menu leaves but the phone does not perform the screen shot. I have also held the tip of the pen while holding the button the S Pen on the screen for 3 secs and nothing. I can screen shot by sliding my hand across the screen. All the other S-Pen options work. So, I think I have narrowed the problem to the phone not doing the screen shot after the Screen Write option is selected. My S Pen options are:
Pen detachment options: Air Command
Direct pen input ON
Pointer ON
Any help would be great, thanks!

hold the pen button lower the pen to touch the screen release the button..

Probably not related but, have you installed the Samsung keyboard update? My handwriting recognition wasn't working until I installed it.

The option is there, you just aren't searching correctly. The magnifying glass in the top right corner is what you're looking for. Makes it much easier to find certain settings, gesture options in this case.

volume + power button does not work. And a magnifying glas doesn't work either. look at the pictures i send, all those options are not there. Even though it says 7.1.1 Mifavor 4.2.
And if i am still missing something send a vid or a picture that will explain how to do that, cause i can't simply find it.

Have you considered it might be because you need to spell 'gestures' in the native language?
Try: Settings > features > gesture & motions.
If you still can't find it... Then you're unfortunately out of luck
