Yep, i've seen it too and don't know what it is. What I do know is that the icon is named icon_iframe in the opera skin file. Maybe that does ring a bell with you? Here, it stays very silent
Strange, but glad i'm not just seeing things! hehe. Not seen it since i posted about it, lets hope ignorance is bliss...

A joke would be to make a skin for opera and replace this icon by for example: (since it does nothing and means nothing and only randomly pops up only once a week ....)
Hah, or 'click here'
Do you use full screen mode? I do and that is the icon that is there except when I am scrolling. Clicking it brings up the "non-fullscreen" style menu. Not sure why you would see it there otherwise.

Yea i have 'auto full screen' selected in options, and clicking the icon does nothing.
I have that problem as well. I don't know what is is. Never botherd me.
Well guys if it's name is Icon_iFrame then it should bring up some menu for iframe element in html. Or maybe loading the page in iframe as a new tab. But I really dont know, just guessing =)
Anyone else try out these slide-out browser quick controls?
I 'love' them. I turned them on a few days after getting the tab and havent looked back.
How about you?
To enable this feature for the stock browser go to settings - labs - quick controls and make sure the box it ticked. Now in the browser, slide in from the side and a wheel of sorts will pop out with all your controls.
Very slick feature.
I have been using them since day one. Love it.
Yes, they're handy once you get the hang of them.
Very nice, thanks for sharing that tip!

Where is this? Dont have an entry for "labs" under "settings"?
Settings in the browser, not general setting on the tablet. Top right corner in the browser.
I think it actually comes enabled by default on the Xoom; needless to say it was refreshing to see when I first started using the tablet. Using the menu in the upper right hand corner is not as user friendly.
The only thing I have noticed is that it is difficult to initiate controls with the acer case, because the edge comes right up to the screen. I usually have to attempt the gesture a couple of times in order for the controls to come up.

I've never had that problem. Simply slide your finger 'into' the screen, from the bezel. Works like a charm every time and I love how it appears at the exact position your finger made the sliding motion into the page, rather than a single static location.
If I had one feature request, it would be 1 more button you could use to hold it as a handle to slide the wheel up or down the side, and tap it to pin it or unpin it.
Heh - didn't even know this existed until I saw this thread. Not sure I like it though - I usually close the last tab to close the browser (since back makes you step through all pages viewed and home would leave it open.)

How do you close the browser with last tab? The tab disappears and browser turns full screen everytime specially when there's only one tab left. I find it hard to bring the tab to appear again.

funny I know... I open up a new blank one... close the last one and then hit the back button to close the whole thing out... he he... I woudn't mind if the tabs were up there all thetime or use a quick menu to pop it up and down...
You can actually just do a long press on the webpage and it will bring up the tabs at the top, then you can close them.

That's how I do it right now, but sometimes it selects the text for copy/paste instead of displaying the tab. You really have to find an empty spot on the browser page to make it work. Adding a new tab and closing, then closing the last tab requires a really fast finger to catch the last tab. Sometimes I'm slow to click on the last tab and it just hides again. How I wish the default browser has an option to exit, similar to Dolphin browser.
Why the desire to have an exit, to hide the porn your surfing?
Keeping the browser in memory is useful, because that is alot of what I use this thing for.

Just thought I'd post my thoughts on the Note II that I just bought yesterday.
Since happily dumping my iphone 4 I've been running a Galaxy Nexus on stock JB 4.2.1. Love the Nexus but I was pretty keen on the big form factor of the Note II but couldn't wrap my mind around the steep price, so for laughs ordered a Nexus 7 3G, figuring that between the 2 Nexus devices I'd have everything covered. Didn't really work out that way.
Nexus 7 is now for sale after a week, device is nice but I had to admit that I really don't have much regular need for a tablet, even a 3G one. So I bit the bullet and bought a Note II and have spent most of this morning configuring it...man is all that Samsung bloatware a mess! Not to mention the carrier's crap that I`ll have to root and remove. I am a gadget-a-holic and pretty good technically but this thing is pretty overwhelming in some ways.
A few observations/questions, feel free to comment:
- In the main app drawer for instance, the apps do not seem to auto-sort alphabetically like the do on my GNex...is there a sort setting for this? A pretty handy feature when you have a gazillion apps
- when I set a wallpaper background on the GNex, the background moves as you switch pages; on the Note the BG remains fixed...a setting?
- no matter how hard I fight it, I can't make apps group together by dropping one on top of the other, the lower one just keeps squirting out of the way...what am I doing wrong?
All together an impressive device though. While I'm a gadget freak I HATE collecting devices, I always get rid of inventory on Kijiji while it still has sale-ability, but in this case I think the GNex will be sticking around for at least a month or so or until I'm convinced the big Note II can work as a single phone. If not I'll keep both, because I don't see getting rid of the Note even if it is used most of the time as the tablet I said I didn't need...
Now just need to figure out how to root this thing and install a nice clean rom.
Cheers
Followup post: The original apps are in fact alpha-sorted in the drawer, but all add-ons are appended to the end of the drawer list/pages, in the order they were installed. Will reboot to see if they re-sort.

1. Go to app drawer, press left sencor button and choose "view type" and you can customize grid sorting
2. only with modded TW you can make wallpaper scrolling
3. Firstly, u need create folder and then go to app drawer, press left sencor button, click edit, choose folder and press to add apps to that folder

To skip all the carrier junk I bought mine from Amazon the international version
As long as you don't mind the higher price
No carrier blotware
No waiting for carrier to approve updates
Works almost anywhere on almost all networks
No having to unlock it if you need a different carrier

Thanks for the replies.
- When I go to Contacts I do not have a Settings command available (unlike the 3 little dots in the Nexus JB)
- When I go to the App Drawer to sort apps, and press the left sensor, I get Google+ launching, not a sort menu
Sorry for the noob ?s
Cheers
Got it figured out thanks

Heck yeah, that's why I did it. I don't think the OP realizes this forum section is for the N7100/7105, which are the non-carrier branded, international versions.

If you want your apps together in a folder like on the iphone just go to your home screen and hit menu and create folder and drop your apps on there just like the iphone

Just love threads like this when people rant on how crap a phone is over their last one just to find it was them either doing it wrong or not been quite the expert on phones they thought they were.

1-tab on the menu button the on the left of home button u will get setting
2-same thing ^
Maybe you already discovered it, but if you hold the pen button while hovering over the screen in S-Note, it takes you to an image search feature similar to MS Office's clipart search, if your're familiar.
Clicking the S-Pen button while in S-Note changes the writing utensil and then changes to eraser.
You find any cool features others may not know about?
Samsung hasn't updated the User's Digest yet for the Note 10.1. Almost all of the features in the Note II User's Digest also apply to the Note 10.1. You can download it from play to get more detail on some of the stuff that's been added in JB.

Cool... and if you click the pen and move it up (as a stroke) it opens up another useful feature - you can write in a box for example : ?weather - brings up latest weather - check it out - its quite cool

Ah yea, the Quick Commands. I wish some1 would mod the S-Pen to recognize quick gestures without having to wait for that box to come up. Man...the Spen has so much potential, but little dev love xD
Yes - so much potential. I love using the pen. I still haven't had a great play with the pen . Im not entirely sure what does what when it comes to the button. Im learning but slowly ...lol

Not sure I'm following... without the quick command you can only go "back" minus gesture "options" triangle gesture "quick command" line up gesture, open note pad etc etc.
You cant invoke web browser, email etc without first opening the quick command menu.
Am I missing something?
Thanks!!!
There is an app in the market called gmd s pen .. You can configure a ton..

Box around notes
My problem with Snote is that when I click to start writing with the spen a blue box appears and all writing is done in that box. When it goes to the next line the blue box expands to include that line.
How can I get rid of the blue box.

I would like to ask some questions, if that's okay with you? It's mostly so I know exactly how things appear on your end and to make it easier to answer your questions.
First, are you clicking the button as you are writing in SNote? Have you tried writing in SNote without clicking the button?
Does the blue box appear at the bottom or in the middle of the screen?
If it's possible, grab a screen shot and attach it.
Which firmware are you on. ?? I am using my script notes and it's super fast.. Best ever.. .. Any idea on when our devices ll get kitkat??

Attached is a view of what I mean. I have the P605. I dont click the stylus button. But you can see the blue box around my typing if I put in another line the blue box expands. I wrote a lecture for half an hour and when I went to review it I could only see part of it. there should have been 2 pages but could only see one.
The blue box appears as soon as I touch the screen with the SPen.

Thank you for that screenshot! It was a very helpful thing.
That bluebox is for the text input mode, and it will show up pretty much automatically when S-note is in edit mode. When not in edit mode, as shown on the first attached screenshot from my Note 3 (since they essentially share the same S-note other than Templates...), you should see no blue box.
You WILL however, see a blue triangle at the bottom right and possibly the upper right. Try tapping that with your pen or finger. The end result should be the same as the second screenshot, a pop up window. You should be able to scroll and find the rest of your lecture that way.
...but yeah, that mode will end up treating that box as one continuous, yet scrollable page. It should keep everything, though.
Hopefully that helps, but if I was way off base, lemme know.
Can you tell me a bit more about what your problem with s note actually is so that I can compare my problem with yours??

That was exactly my problem. I have found the you CANNOT write for half an hour taking notes and expect the snote to move to another page when the first one gets full. That was how the note 8 snote worked and that is the one I prefer. I don't want to have to keep creating text boxes just so I can have separate pages. IMO the new snote has gone back to the stone age. I don't use it any more, gone to lecture notes.
