I personally own a Tab Pro 8.4 LTE version. As all we know, Samsung has made the menu button of the Tab Pro Series into muti-windows switcher and also the shortcut of task manager. In some apps, there may be a menu button for you to press. But if there is no menu button in some third party apps, you can long press the menu button to open up the menu. I hope it helps!:laugh:
In case anyone didn't know, instead of getting multi windows by dragging and dropping. You can tap the app for floating pop-up windows. Also, you can take a screen shot of your tab by swiping from the right of the screen using the entire bottom side of your hand.

Uhhh... I think you meant "long press the recent apps button to open up the menu"
So I FINALLY figured out edge zoom. When viewing a web page do a double tap. On the second tap, leave your finger down, then slide your finger up or down to zoom in or out.
Making this discovery, though, doesn't mean I'm any less ticked off that I can't disable it because it's constantly being triggered accidentally.

Do you have the Tab Pro 8.4? And if so, is Peel working properly?
On mine, it only displays in portrait mode (which is contradictory to where the IR Blaster is located) and only uses about a quarter of the screen (seems to be behaving like the device is a phone, instead of a tablet). Also, the text in the menus is off, again like its not correctly designed for the screen resolution. Peel worked really well on my old Note 8 (broke the screen); so I'm surprised to see these issues.
Since Peel is mostly unusable for these reasons, I've been using WatchOn. WatchOn is not bad, but not great either. It doesn't seem to have as much personalization as Peel, and often displays shows I don't have interest in.
Minimised apps!
Tap (don't drag) one of the apps in the sidebar, it will open up in a new window on top of whatever you have running. Now tap the minimise symbol '_' on the top right of the window. The app gets reduced to a small disc that can be moved around to wherever you want!
It's not earth-shattering but it's a nice touch!

You really didn't answer most of my questions. Its hard to help you, if you don't provide the information requested. Even saying you used Advanced Wipe doesn't really say anything specific. What partitions did you select to be wiped?
Did you migrate any data, like using Titanium? Specifically any system data?

Hello. Well have this last update for our devices official from samsung. And I thought on helping samsung perfecting it. So in order to so that I think we should make this thread where we all together say wich are the bugs we found. I find already 2 bugs on the email app wich leads to a lot of wakeup calls, makes the phone use alot cpu and force closes when we touch on priority mail. There are other bugs wich people found here so I think we should list them.
Rules are simple, if you find a bug, report here and say how to replicate it. We together see it, and list here to report to samsung. Also suggestions to make things better. (of bugs or things you think that could be better)
Since they give us a ROM. At least a perfect well done one. What do you think? They need happy costumers. Or well go elsewhere.
Ps: if you can leave logcat, I'll leave on the email all log cats attached to each bug
List of bugs:
The Email app crashes when the general options, and priority email sections are accessed.
Buggy Microsoft Exchange integration. It seems to use an excessive amount of resources causing battery drain. This problem only seems to exist within the default Email app.
Smart stay not working properly.
Samsung keyboard's gesture typing is unable to properly detect and type the whole word.
Swype Keyboard won't automatically insert a space (I don't think this is a bug due to the text field being an address bar)
Sometimes, lock screen is unresponsive.
In the app drawer, when the apps are sorted alphabetically, then as downloaded apps it crashes Touchwiz Home.
In Car Mode, TalkBack is not functioning and is very unresponsive.
Google Maps and Samsung Push Services uses an excessive amount of battery when it is not used.
Throughout the OS, there are issues with stuttering and lack of responsiveness.
Wi-Fi connection often freezes after deep sleep of around 10 - 15 minutes ("Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" is set to "Always"). Wi-Fi notification icon shows that it's connected, but no data can be sent or received. (Only solution found so far is to manually disconnect and reconnect.)
In the camera, there is a reddish blemish on the center when the camera is used in low-light situations(I believe this is a hardware issue.)
Project Butter seems to be improperly implemented.
Unable to use the handwriting function on the Samsung Keyboard because it force closes.
Nasty color banding
After reboot , changes made in launcher menu will go back to how it was in begining (for example Folders created, disapear, or just the apps inside it, will be offside)
Suggestions list:
Music Controls (most members suggest this)
Lock screen more costumizable with possibility of more than three icons, something new I found ugly the way we unlucky the screen. (votes?)
Quick reply as cm has (i find this really useful, votes?)
Option to set if we want zoom in or zoom out option in the rear of the phone while browsing
in powermore , on the browser, instead of blue, an option to keep the white.
More sms before converting to mms, or if possible a manual option for that.
Lockscreen sometimes unresponsive, and the hand writing (?

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.

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.

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.

Battery life seems to be sucking!
Gonna reformat my sdcard & then put my media on it & see if that helps before having to do a factory reset.. used to get 2-2.5 days our of a charge now this battery prediction add-on is saying 10 hours left on a battery I just put in an hour ago. Completely stock & not rooted, so backups are a pain & Helium apparently isn't 100% so that option seems pointless. Suggestions?

Not sure yet -
I haven't noticed any issues with Maps. I kinda like the new swipe on the lock screen to swipe to the phone dialer. I don't like taking away the audio controls on the power button screen. Love the fast camera focus (didn't know about that till I read this thread).
For whatever reason I can't seem to find the trusted devices thing for my FitBit...
EDIT:
Scratch that. Gotta enable SmartLock in the security settings.
Do you guys recommend a complete reset?
My most wanted feature was the combined security lock screen (Finger lock, PIN, etc) and I can't seem to find a way to enable it here.
I don't like the new lock screen notifications now. I don't need to see my BT devices and Ultimate Rotation Control on my lock screen. I'm fine with the missed calls, texts and emails but not with the others taking up unnecessary screen space.
Anyone know how to get them to show back up in the notification bar up top?
I like the camera, UI changes, look, etc. Overall system seems quicker. I have not had any issues so far but it has been less than 1 day of usage. I did notice the battery discharged quickly at first, however it seems that the battery drain is leveling off after a while.
I always used the stock messenger app. I really don't like all the orange. I'm trying alternatives now. So far textra is nice with black background
Calls don't work with android auto.
You guys tried benchmarks? Look antutu, is extremely low!! :/
So if anybody else like me is coming from the G2 and 3 you might be missing smart screen.. That little feature that detects your face while looking at the screen to keep the screen awake instead of fading out. I personally felt it a real convenience. I would like to get it back, I pulled the app from my G3 titled wise screen. I installed it like a normal app with success. I used activity launcher to try and launch it, but it fc's. So I'm guessing we'll need root to get it functional. When we do get root is there anyone else interested in joining me on this quest? I would really like to get this one up and running. I can't for the life of me understand why they left it off. I feel like I'm back on ics or jb with out it..

I have to agree with you. I am so surprised they took it out. I spent 30 min on the phone trying to find it. I tried the app the other post recommended, not as good, it will never turn the phone off in the car when the phone is mounted and the car is moving.
I, too, was looking for the smartscreen settings. Was surprised that LG decided to remove it. Will try the above mentioned kinscreen later
Anyone know if Samsung removed it from the S6? They started the feature and it was one of the more useful features they added to Touchwiz. I was glad when LG copied it. Most of the other stuff was junk, but that was actually useful.
That sucks. I wonder if they removed smart screen to keep the screen from running down the battery.

You can try Smart Screen from the play store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vjt.app.magicscreen
And iseeyou

What's really weird is that the Smart Screen app is installed on the phone. Go to app manager, and check out the "All" list and there's Smart Screen. There's just no way to activate it.

I don't have the app at all on mine.. 811.
I don't show it listed on my sprint version.

Here it is on the Verizon variant. Wow... this is the first time the Verizon version actually has something the others don't!
It's on the phone but doesn't seem to work. I don't see any place to enable it and creating an activity to open the app causes it to crash.
Never really worked for me on G2/3.
I miss this and have found an app on the play store that mimics it. It worked well for me on the G3.
Verizon has this. I disabled it though. It worked great on my G2 for the time I tested it. For me, I am typically using my phone while in the middle of doing something else. So it is a waste.

Not on mine H810. I am wondering if maybe they built something into the package? As since I have had mine, and if I'm using it or just looking at it the screen doesn't shut off.

On Verizon, you can see the service - it is not an app - BUT there are no Settings I can find or know of that actually allow you to activate it or interact with it in anyway. So it is "there" but seems to do nothing and cannot be setup.
EDIT: I used the hidden Verizon menu and found this "smart screen" but when you click on it, it forecloses and crashes. So, it is as if that first part of the services is there BUT the actual functionality is not as using the hidden Verizon menu I cannot activate it and access settings or turn it on to work - and I would think from that hidden menu, we should.

Just bought Yota3 from ebay but it isn't working the way i thought it is. I thought it was going to work just like Yota2. Now i can't install any apps on to eink screen.
i don't think mirroring feature is in yota 3
bad news.
I expected the way of working like Yotaphone 2
Could you please tell me exactly how mirroring works on Yota3? On yotaphone 2 I can use epd just like color. How about yota3?

I am a Chinese Yota3 user.
Yota brand was bought by a Chinese company, which turned out to be a disaster. You need some tricks to make yota3 easy to use.
There is still mirror mode, but need some effort to turn on.
Download a app named More shortcuts, long press at desktop to open widgets, add more shortcuts.
Choose Activity - Factory test - Mirror activity.
Then there will be a shortcuts added for mirror mode.
In this mode, only Back Button can be used. You may need a gusture app to help. (Like assistive Touch in iphone）
Or You can use Direct app mode (newly introduced in yotaphone3) to launch an app on eink. (talk later)
（btw, how can I post a screenshot here)

As a new user of Yota3, I'm really interested by the "Direct app mode" and the shortcuts... I missed these function. Yotaphone 2 with the mirror mode was much more easy to use

In OTA updates after Feb. there are several app shortcuts added to Discover page on EDP which can help to launch them on EDP if already installed in color screen. This is called Direct app mode. But you cannot customize the app shortcuts on Discover page (stupid).
The shortcuts launch by package name.
Here is how we go. Change any launcher's (or any other app you'd like) package name to any of the shortcuts on Dicover page. Install to color screen. Launch it on eink Discover page.
I have a modified eink launcher at hand. But dont know how to upload.
* ATTENTION If you OTA update to Dec version or later (included Feb version) battery usage will increase a lot. And newly added apps/functions are mostly for Chinese user. You can only send back to factory in China if you wanna go back to ealier version. COZ no root yet.

Thanks for your answer. For now, I didn't updated the phone, it's still on Y3SCN06A1000MPX1712021 Rom.
You can send attachments with your posts (if the app is not too big) with the "clip" icon , near the smiley icon, when writing a message.
Another question: do you know how if the latest firmware upgrade add some changes to the screen timeout time? With my firmware, I can only set maximum 30 min: when I choose "Screen always on"" (Settings-Display- Sleep-"Screen always On"), it doesn't work. This may help when using Mirror mode, otherwise after 30 minutes, it will quit this mode if you don't touch the screen (I use the mirror mode with GPS app).
I tried the method suggested by awayu using Activity Launcher app, but couldn't quite get it to work.
But I went to Baidu in a hope to find more info on this on Chinese forums and found this one:
tieba.baidu.com/p/5587584209
It offers to download and install apk that impersonates Hinhua News (新华社 - top leftmost on Discovery screen) and provides up app launcher on e-ink screen instead.
So I've bitten the bullet and installed this apk and seems to be working.
In a way this is even better solution as it gives you menu of apps to launch, but at the cost of installing random apk. It was a bit re-assuring that it doesn't seem to require any permissions.
I'm not affiliated with the author of the post at baidu, use at your own risk!
Alternative way of mirror mode
Specially thanks to awayu who sent me this modified E-ink launcher app which really works. Under the command of this launcher users can have good control of the apps on the front screen when using EPD. For instance I can even turn on mobile network under the reading mode (long press the power bottom to switch) so I can have access to any phone calls when reading. After installing this app I am pretty much happy about Yota 3 now.
English google play stops working
It just can't be opened. I reset several times but same issue. What to do ???
Try to avoid using the preinstalled "AppStore"
Perform factory reset to get back to the "clean state". Disable the preinstalled AppStore (or freeze it) to prevent it from installing any untrusted apps by Chinese developers. Instead using the (preinstalled) browser to find the necessary apk(s) to install google frameworks. Remember not to install any untrusted apps and from then on you should be fine.
not working

However I cannot install new apk without reset phone. Perhaps this is connected with Google play error ??
Thanks

That E-ink launcher app makes mirror mode looks like yotaphone2? I have been thinking between Hisense a2 pro and yotaphone3 for several months.

@awayu,
Thanks for your help.
To upload, try the paper-clip icon. I am attaching a picture.
Best regards,
Yotahub search on Yotaphone 3
Now I realize I am a bit fan of Yotaphone 2 and not of Yotaphone 3( after the recent purchase of it).
I like Yotaphone 3 e-ink display to be the same (visually) as Yotaphone 2. is it achievable? Want to put e-ink apps and widget as Yotaphone 2 does.
My question is, is there a way to achieve it? Any help. :fingers-crossed:
