No idea what it's called. But looks like it resizes the phone's usable area for one handed use. VERY cool, nice find!

hi , take a look at this link and read relevant article and take note of picture ......
My guess is its not Note 3 ?/ ( in video) or that feature comes from a device '"Vivo Xplay " a android phone ,also 5.7 inch screen ??
http://phandroid.com/2013/05/07/vivo-xplay-android-phone/
I read a while back about this feature , here on Xda , about it.The feature is called "Free Touch '
i have seen some sort of custom ROM read this thread for info ?

I might be wrong but take a look
good luck

In the instruction manual that was recently posted, it does say there is a setting for one handed operation (page 50 of the manual). There's no diagram so it may or may not be similar to this feature, but one handed operation is included in some form on the Note 3.

hi,
i also think you are correct ,that the Note 3 could have adopted this type of function( one handed function)
I have read the Note 3 manual and yes if you look at wording etc( on page 50) it seems like
they implemented similar feature, than what the Vivo Xplay had ?
If so, i give it a thumbs up, as i was after this "Free Touch '"feature when i first saw it ..interesting !

That guy totally wasted our time, he didn't show how it works in that "windowed" mode...
Love the idea, I have to use phone with one hand all the time and with my short fingers it's practically impossible reach far corners, this would be absolutely perfect.
Can someone confirm this existing on N3?
P.S.
It's definitively N3 (or something faking it), Vivo Xplay doesn't have middle hardware button.

hi ,
yes on Note2(for those who don't have Note2 ) presently only have a few one handed features
(keyboard ,dailer caculator and these apps ,you can only move left or right side off screen,see attached)
So i think Samsung, must have added " these " extra features..!!
Can anybody confirm it ?
edit .. post note
i see NZtechfreak confirms it in his post summary " So I had half a weekend to play with the Note 3, what did I think?"

[Q] fake note 3 s cover

Hey there!
My father is on a trip in China(yay!), he decided he would buy a galaxy note 3, he also bought a separate samsung s cover the official version, everything was bought new in Hong Kong, the note was HK$4400(US$560)
He says the note appears to be real, because the official s cover works as expected, he send me the back of the note 3 box, can anyone tell me if its real or fake
Edit: it does have download mode like odin

Sticky topic in this section explains how to find out, whether it is real phone or not. We can't tell by the box, if it is real or not.
Safest way is to use Phone Info app.

It looks like real one

maybe you should paste some pics of your phone and also the Android version in the setting's about.

[Q] How do I SIM unlock my Galaxy S4 running a Galaxy S5 ROM?

Hello everyone,
I have a Koodo Samsung Galaxy S4 running a custom Galaxy S5 ROM ("Samy Deluxe Pick Your King" to be exact) I need to SIM unlock my phone for my trip to France but before I buy a code, it asks me what my device model is and the IMEI.
I was just wondering if I need to put Galaxy S5 as my device or Galaxy S4? Will it affect the code or not? Or if the SIM unlocking won't work at all? If you have any other ways that might work that would be great too! I would like to avoid replacing my ROM if possible.
Thanks in advance,
DCSLego

You need to give original information, you can get this information under the battery on removing it, press thanks if it helps

Well being an official tester is not that easy

I Desperately Need HELP for my Clone Note 4 PLEASE. Thank you and very much appreciat

Hi everyone, I'm new to android and also this forum and website. But I do have a samsung galaxy y gt-s5360 before and I gain a very big helped from this forum before by learning how to flash and root my 5360 previously successfully with ressurection ROM. And I'm sorry this is the first time I created a topic post and I'm sorry and I'm not sure if I'm creating this topic at the right column of this forum. If I'm wrong I apologize dear Admin.
OK back to the main point of this topic. I just bought a clone Samsung note 4 yesterday. There's a lot of question marks in my head now and I need all the experts advice here and hope everyone could help me out please.
1) I don't even know what are the real specs of my phone now as it is clone and I don't even know how to identified it by real.
2) I wish I can flash a best note 4 original rom or custom ROM with the latest and updated and a nice ROM for my clone note 4.
3) 1 main reason is if possible I need a ROM with the real note 4 display resolution on my clone note 4 in order for me to use my Rock Dr.V casing for my clone note 4 which required an app from the rock case website itself which could not support and even run on my current clone note 4.
All kinds of helps and enquiries is needed and much appreciated. I will try to provide as much information, details and screenshots as I can. But starting with even screenshot now I don't even know how to screenshot my phone now because normally you can just swipe with your hand from right to left of the whole screen to make a screenshot but now this function is not even working.... I'm blurred and stuck now. The current state of of my clone note 4 now is running without problem as I can still use most of the common standard default apps and the commercial downloaded apps such as whatsapp, wechat, facebook and all including waze GPS too.
Another last thing is the imei no on the sticker behind the phone is different with the one stating on the about phone inside android software phone status imei. I tried scanning the imei behind with imei.info it tells me it is a Galaxy S4 but the imei inside the android software which I scan on imei.info was stated with "Invalid imei". That is all the information that I can provide now. Hopefully someone can teach me how to screenshot at least so I can start uploading more pics and Info's.
Please help me. Thank you very much all forumers.

You can find a screenshot app on Goole play store(ei: screenshot by Kastorsoft since it works on rooted and some unrooted devices)
