I tried out the Single Hand Use for all windows when I got my Note 3, and it worked OK. It was certainly not 'easy' to get it going, but I could do it with a few tries.
I have another launcher, and installed and set that. Now I see that the One Handed gesture is not working. I moved back to TW to try it, and it is not working there either.
I have definitely set it in the settings (all windows). Does anyone else have this problem, or know how to get it working again? Does it work with other launchers that stock?
I suspect that you have enabled an app in 'accessibility'. If any app is enabled in accessibilty it prevents the single handed gesture from working. It also causes the stock browser to 'talk' saying things like 'page loading' etc. which is very irritating.

Thank you so much, it works!
The really stupid thing is I have an app called 'Llama (Location Aware Mobile App), and that has a setting under accessibility. I have to turn that off for the single hand use to work. This is really stupid, but I shall see what effect it has turning that setting off (there is no indication). It it disables Llama, I am going to be very annoyed, as they are not even slightly related.
I agree. My use of the apps is far more important than the single handed mode and, as you say, the apps like Llama etc. obviously reveal a bug in either Android itself or in something Samsung has done. I really want to use Tasker and Pebble so have to also remember not to use the stock browser unless I want it talking as I browse.

Yes - works fine with Nova but (as above) make sure accessibility apps are all off or the gesture won't work.

Probably a stupid question, figured i'd ask. I would imagine some of the gestures are hardware based and not actually software based. I use to own a S3, which other then the gestures I do not miss much. Is there apps, or development software I could download to duplicate the s3/note 2 gestures? Text to ear would call that person, palm swipe would screenshot, swipe right/left on a contact name to call or text, ETC. Didn't know how much I would miss those gestures until I swapped phones. Any info would be appreciated.
If this isn't out already, I'd even start a donation thread if anyone would be interested in creating this. If this would be a popular idea, send some replies.
Thanks.

those are the only 3 things i miss about my s3 also.
i'm loving this device with the exception of the fulltime fear of breaking it, LOL
if these functions can be ported, i'd gladly donate also.
i have a feeling its embedded in the touchwiz framework though.
i imagine the palm to swipe screenshot feature might be able to be replicated in a separate app.
but i'm guessing the swipe contact name to call/text is touchwiz only.
You can't swipe to call or text in stock contacts app as the app is made out of scrollable tabs.
These features were once submitted to cyanogen mod, but rejected because it caused more troubles than actual solutions. They're (we're) really careful when it comes to bloatware.

It's there. Settings>Lockscreen>Shortcuts Turn them on and then you can customize the apps as well.

When I go into the Lockscreen menu under Setting, I don't see anything about Shortcuts :-/
I am hoping that this is something obvious that I am not seeing, but would you mind posting a screen shot of that setting?
It's there for me. Here's a screenie.

Thanks for the screen shot,...I have no idea why that option is NOT on my phone,...-.-' Well,...with Root de la Vega out now,...AND that it doesn't trip Knox, I'm not sure if I'm going to just leave things as is, or if I should Root and see if the re-install of the OS would pop that selection up.
Thanks again, repsol!

Shortcuts are not available with pattern or pin (possibly password too?) lockscreens. Try switching to swipe to unlock.

Actually, I didn't. One of the moderators moved it here. There was one post, then the one that got moved here. That said, I got my question answered. Certain settings disable certain options. Instead of merely ghosting unavailable options, Google (?) opted to not show them at all.

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!

The GN3 is my first note, but have you looked at both the Action Memo and the S Notes apps? It seems like the features you described are closer to S Note, but maybe I am misunderstanding you.

It's not widget. It's the Action Memo that you can open directly from Air Command when you detach your S Pen (if you haven't disabled Air Command in Settings).
Whenever I plug in headphones on the pull-down there is a section entitled "Recommended Apps (Earphones)". How can I alter which apps appear there? The included Android media player does not even show up there but my email program, text messaging, and Google maps icons do show up there which makes pretty much no sense... it would be handy to tap on apps there that made sense... Why isn't the included Android media player not even shown there?

I hated it with passion but after switching the dpi to 250 it's become one of the most lovely features. I'm assuming it learns what apps you use when headphones are plugged, which for me is nearly always. So it shows my most used apps.
I've got the pie controls and I use the pie, multiwindow and the status bar headphone apps to multitask and navigate the device very effectively. (By the way I always use the Spen)

You can also disable the recommend Apps if you plug-in the headphones with this app:

Noob questions thread
I think this should be re-named NOOB Questions Thread, but being new to Samsung and stylus input (I've only used the wife's Nexus a bit before, and my office is still on blackberry) the simple Qs, and patience of users to answer them, have been helpful. I was definitely getting frustrated with my magazines, because that upward swish should have been opening Google search. I'll be killing magazines and see how that goes. To me, magazines belong int he google play store.
I would sure appreciate a google experience version of the 10.1. Samsung offering their pen add-ons as apps rather than a modified OS would be an improvement. But I'm quite happy so far, and the help on this and similar threads is most appreciated.
It is my first Android tablet...thanks for the responses, but none was my answer...
If you use ezPDF and make a sticky note on the PDF, the size of the icon of the sticky note is so small!! I wanted to see if we could make that bigger, but I don't think there's is a way...
Thanks on the freeze/stop advice, but it looks like root is required to remove entirely. I keep triggering the silly MyMag screen when I really want google search which is what I expect an upward swipe from home will give me.
^ you can also move your google search widget somewhere in the middle...but really, it's annoying when I hit the home button it switches to my magazine
