I searched for it for about 5 minutes last night. It is disappointing that it isn't where it normally is in the Samsung stock browser. I was unable to find it also. I'm not too bummed about it since it is my wife's device, and I doubt she will open multiple tabs often.

I'm loving the phone so far but there's been a few things that just make me think they were to worried about packing in all the "new innovative" software tricks that they forgot some basic things. Ex no open as background tab, no macro in camera and no autocorrection on the keyboard

Long press on any link and a pop up should open that asks if you want to open, open in new tab, open in background tab. The S4 is missing the last option. Also if you go in to the settings on your S3 there's another option to open all tabs as background tabs which is also missing from the S4

No is not if i long press link in browser all i get is : Open, Open in new window, Save link, Copy link URL Select text. Also i don't see anythink in settings. In settings all stock browser looks exacly same. Also i check in my skyrocket and is same settings. My wife iPhone safarii have option to do tab but i don't see in any stock android browser.

Go to settings advanced it should be the 2nd or 3rd option that says open tabs in background. The default jelly bean browser has it as well as chrome and a plethora of other 3rd party browser. Why Samsung would leave it out baffles me. I also looked on my girlfriends S3 and its where I described it to be.
As for auto correct it doesn't work, it will suggest the correction but does not actually fix it if you hit space it just leaves what you typed. To correct it you have to hit the actual word suggestion it gives you.

You must have an ota or something then because everyone complains the keyboard doesn't auto correct and the S3 must have a newer firmware. What software version is your S4? Mines JDQ39.I337MVLUAMDJ

Im gonna need proof before I believe you...or you could tell us how you got it working...because your the first person to report working auto correct....take a video if you can
I have searched high and low....and there is not a single place in the keyboard settings for auto correct...just predicrive text and even that doesnt have auto input.
Suprisingly its easier to do the built in "swype"/handwriting feature on the samsung keyboard (not the actual swype input)...now that thing is pretty good at getting the correct word

Same here. It works for the first 2 days. But now it just doesn't and later it crashes.

You may try to change date&time settings to yesterday .. It works with my device ..

glad to know i'm not the only one facing this problem... meanwhile, any good keyboard with handwriting recognition to use as alternative?
also, to add some details, when i switch to Chinese language, the input does scroll to right when i am writing towards the end of screen, then when u scroll back, , or in english input try wrinte some words then press the backspace button, u will notice a character cursor stuck at the far left of the screen. Try move that cursor and your keyboard will crash again

you're right, I just changed my date to 28th sept, and it worked, thanks a lot :highfive:
additional update: changing the date, use the handwriting, and change the date back to today and it seems working fine again. thanks indeed for the discovery, if TS can just update the first post with this solution it would be great

Wow, thanks...
I thought, i had to reset my Note 3...
Great workaround :laugh:

thank you works great, can't believe i reset my phone yesterday, should have come here first

But its a temporary fix. after close apps and re-launch apps, the problem comes back. any solution?
I try suft and anything will get back here...
Thks anyway.

should we wait for first update?

Same problem
I was very glad to get my Note 3 last Friday (one of the first in the Netherlands). But this morning, during a short demonstration for my collegues on "how great the Note 3 and Android is", I had the same problem as you. This is my first Samsung and Android device, how long does patching take?

For the S4 the first update came within a month.

The fix helps but very temporarily. Also, when you have more than one input language selected, the first hand written word is recognised ok, but the rest is changed into rubbish. I'll skip using hand written text input for now, until it has been solved. Swyping is faster anyway.

Has anyone tried the alternate note input method which gets activated by hovering the s pen over the input area and then selecting the small black pencil icon ?
This seems to still work.

Can you please guide how to change the width of the text written by Spen....its very sharp and i want somewat bigger...i hope u got my problem

Here's my take.. My phone is N9005 bought from the Philippines last Sept. 28.
This problem occurred but is isolated to handwriting-to-text, not particular to the handwriting recognition in general because it still works on all the applications from the NOTE 3 only the handwriting-to-text is not working and always crash when you move the cursor from the leftmost side to anywhere in the keyboard pad (where you 'write' the words that will be converted to text).
Changing the Date to Sept. 27, Sept. 28 or Sept 29 works.. the handwriting-to-text works 100% (even after restarting my device) but when you change the date to Sept. 30 THEN restart your device it will not work.
So basically manually changing your date in your device back to Sept. 27-29 THEN change back the date to Sept. 30 (or whatever date is today) will WORK, but it will STOP working when you RESTART or POWEROFF your device. I tried OCT. 1 as well and its not working.
Just use this workaround if you are using this feature.. I don't use this feature but it bugs me when my gadget has a flaw or is defective..
I guess we need an official patch / fix for this problem.

[Q] Missing - lock screen shortcuts, ability to change bottom row of apps

Hey everybody,
Long long time reader, first time poster.
I've just bought a Galaxy Note 3, because I was so happy with the Note 2 I just had to have the new one.
To my surprise, there's a couple of fundamental features missing from my ****ty AU version (my Note 2 was an International Version).
There doesn't seem to be an option to enable lockscreen shortcuts, I've seen videos online of people enabling these on their respective Note 3's, but the AU version just doesn't seem to have it.
The other thing that is really grinding my gears is that the bottom row of apps on the homescreen is locked. Ie. they can not be moved or changed (Phone, Contacts, Messages, Internet, Apps), why in gods name would Samsung ever lock something like that?
There is one last thing, but I can't be sure if this is an isolated AU version issue or one that is across the board, but when I plug in my headphones, it doesn't take me to that wonderful Music specific screen like the Note 2 did. Is this something that has just been omitted from this phone or is it entirely an AU specific thing?
My question then becomes, is there anything I can do about this?
I've noticed a JB 4.3 Firmware kicking about and I would gladly void my warranty to get back these features. But I don't want to void my warranty and still not have these features, if you know what I mean.
I'd really appreciate any advice on this, as I said, I've been a long time reader of this forum, any time I've googled anything about my phone, this is the place I end up, so I know you're a knowledgeable bunch, help me out
Thanks in advance, I'll be watching this space.

Mine doesn't even have the lock screen apps but I have a favorite apps widget on the lock screen.
Plus I don't have the flare in lock screen like I saw in a video review.
I have the Germany Snapdragon version

I hate the locked dock as well .... also, the Australian version of touchwiz does not work in landscape mode. eg: if you use Ultimate Rotation Control to force the home screen to rotate, the touchwiz icons wont align properly in landscape.
I have complained on their Samsung Australia facebook, but none of the rep has replied.
https://www.facebook.com/SamsungAustralia/posts/10151943776798523
I think it is the decision of the samsung Australia to lock the dock and not allow us to change it.
maybe we need to form a petition on change.org

If you don't care about voiding your warranty then it's easy fixed. It just involves deleting a couple of lines in others.xml which you can do with root explorer or a similar root file manager. I have and more all good

Aus Note 3
Regarding the Aussie Note 3 dock etc, I believe this is due to the ongoing legal crap between Sammy & Apple.
Use a custom launcher or flash other firmware?

Hi all. I am from Romania, Europe, and bought on 25th september a Note 3 from Korea. Is a N900K model, unlocked, so is working with my SIM from Vodafone RO. I had a Note 2 before and I was very happy with it. But now... I don't know... There are some problems and one is the lock screen shortcuts that I can't change. There is a "slide to right" menu were you can put the shortcuts, but not directly on the lock screen. Why?

thanks, it works without any security ... but in the my note 1 t can still have shortcut with some security

Galaxy Note 3 missing shortcut icons
Last week, I bought Samsung Galaxy Note 3. All features and configurations are very nice. But one thing is that I saw in Youtube video clips, for the other person's Note 3 have the shortcuts like S Voice, Action note and Touchwiz home but not for my one. Though I tried to create these icons, I can't do it. I know these apps are in there. It takes more than 4 days for me. No success. Can you help me. I can't find the clues anywhere.

in /system/csc the two files I checked were feature.xml & others.xml.
I think others.xml may not be important, I edited the option in there and still had no access to the Hotseat. Buit feature.xml worked.
The setting to change is
<CscFeature_Launcher_ReplaceHotseatAreaInEditMode>true</CscFeature_Launcher_ReplaceHotseatAreaInEditMode>
set it to false.
reboot, and you now can edit the hotseat / bottom row. thank christ for that.
So while teaserguy was only half helpful, a little bit of tinkering did help.
also, just incase anyone is unaware, yes.. you need to root your device to access these files.

[Q] S memo on Galaxy Note 3

Hey everyone,
I am Francesco and I am new to the forum so I apologize if I am posting in the wrong placing or else...
I am a a Galaxy Note fan. I had the Note 1 and now have the Note 3. However, what I loved the most about the note 1 was the S memo app, and in particular its on screen widgets, which, differently from what happens with action memos in note 3, could be of more sizes, you create many off etc etc... I realky dont understand why Samsung would get rid of the S memo app and I am personally trying to get it back.
I tried installing the apk... I can create widjets but the app doesnt actually work.. any tip? Maybe rooting the devicd? I'd do whatever to have S memo back!

I already "pushed it into the system" downloading the apk and installing it in the device. It`s there, it opens and it creates widgets but the second I try to write or modify a widget, it fails and closes... Would rooting solve this?

[GUIDE] Speed up and customise Note 2014

Root
This guide assumes that you have rooted your tablet.
Instructions to do so can be found here:
P600 - Wifi only model
P605 - Lte model
Disabling Apps
Why?
Disabling Apps can have a significant performance improvement. A lot of apps startup on boot and use a little bit of ram to cache. Disabling the apps/services you don't need will free up some of the ressources.
Instructions:
Keep the apps you need and if you are not sure rather keep an app more. You can disable a lot more if you know what you are doing. You can either disable/freeze using Titanium Backup Pro or ROM Toolbox Lite. If you do it that way the apps will still be enabled if you create a second user on your tablet. You should rename the apks to .bak in /system/app then they should be gone globally. You can do this with the free ES File Explorer, just make sure to select root "Root Explorer" under Tools and to mount /system/app as r/w through the menu you get by clicking on "Root Explorer".
This is the list of apps you can safely disable.

Keep these under all circumstances:
SystemUI
Other things:
Animations:
Increasing the speed of animations can make it feel faster, because you are not waiting on the animations to finish. Disabling the animations can make it feel very fast, but if you like animations you might as well keep them.
To be able to change the animation speed you first need to enable developer options:
Open settings
Navigate to General -> About device
Tap on "Build number" 7 times
You should get a notification "You are now 4,3,2,1 taps away from being a developer
Open up the developer settings
Scroll down to "Drawing"
You can change Window/Transition/Animator animation scale. I would advise setting them to 0.5 or disabling them
Nova Launcher
This launcher is one of the fastest. If you go into "Nova Settings" under "Look and feel" you can set the "Scroll Speed" and "Animation Speed" to Faster than light. This will make the tab feel like a rocket.
Customize Apps for MultiWindow
Download and install the Xposed Framework
Open Xposed installer
Go into Framework
Select Install/Update
Download/Install MultiWindowManager
Open it and select the apps you want to be able to use in MultiWindow
Reboot
Now when you press on edit in MultiWindow you can select all your apps
Factory Resetting / Updating to newest firmware
There have been several updates from samsung which drastically increase the performance. Make sure you are on the newest available firmware. Also if you are experiencing lag or any issues it might be a good idea to start from scratch. You can search on Sammobile for your device number and download the firmwares. You can also download firmwares from other countries and flash them with Odin. For example I'm using ML1 from Taiwan atm even though I'm in Germany. Just be aware that there might be differences between the firmwares. But make 100% sure that your device number matches. You have to extract the file you downloaded and put the tar.md5 file into the "pda" slot. This will wipe your internal sd card completely, including your data, so backup because everything will be gone.
If this helped you let me know and if you have suggestions I can add them to the OP.

Excellent post dude. Definitely looking forward to putting this to good use. Thanks

Does anyone have the latest Xposed.apk. The links for it in the thread do not work.

The ANT stuff is safe to freeze.
Regards,
John Francis

You had the Note, returned it, got the Air and now are returning the Air to get the Note again?
How did the iPad work out for you? I didn't think it would be that great if it doesn't have a stylus.

Thanks I added it to the list.

Got it to work. My office network is not liking the link. Tried from Chrome, IE and from my tablet with no luck. Turned off wifi on my phone and it downloaded just fine.

Just went out on my lunch break and made the exchange at Best Buy.
iPad sucks. Yes it's fast, and the apps look good, but that's it. If you want to do any actual work on it, or watch whatever show or movie you throw at it, or really multi-task, it blows.

Cool, hope that your device will perform as well as mine when you apply the guide.
There are several limitation with iOS that make it harder to do serious work. You tried and saw for yourself... And I doubt there will be a stylus ever, I recall Steve saying at the launch event that it's easy to use, works with your finger, a pen would just add an additional layer of complexity.

Yes let us know what your experiences are. I've always thought iOS was too restricting overall but with 7, they seemed to make it a bit more flexible.

Well I got the Air on Friday and tried it all through today, when I finally had enough. iOS 7, in my opinion, is “prettier”, but functionally, nothing has changed.
You still need iTunes if you want to put any movies on it, you still don’t have any access to folders, and it’s generally the same walled garden it has always been.
Very happy to be back on Android.

Yes, this is a very good tip. All that software piled up on top of each other can cause issues.
Any device that updates i'll do the ol' factory reset afterwards to run at optimal performance.
Han Solo, the force is strong in you... lol

This is an awesome guide. Just got my Note 10.1 2014 today. After I rooted, I came here to find out what I could freeze. I froze up 53 apps and installed Nova Launcher. This thing is just beastly fast. I love it. Thanks again for sharing!

I'm very sad no root for P601 3G

thank you, this has become my all time favorite tablet and I had them all

Without touchwiz home can you still use the stylus apps? And stylus button to bring up menus anywhere on screen? My gf note 10.1 2014 is still really slow and feel heavy even with the latest update + wipe

yeah, the only thing that doesn't work anymore is the weather widget from TouchWiz, everything else is separate.
