One handed operation -- not working

http://www.theverge.com/2013/9/17/4740120/galaxy-note-3-in-one-handed-screen-mode
For some reason, the feature mentioned in the video above does not work in my phone.
I already activated this in the Settings. Any thoughts why?
Thanks!

it should work if you checked one handed operations in the settings. this was the first thing i tried on the display model at the at&t store today. the guy in the video is kinda doing the wrong gesture to get it to work though. its not a half circle gesture, you need to swipe the screen to the left and back to the right real quick with out taking your finger off the screen. or vice versa.

Did that already. Still does not work. Dont know why. Hehe.

It works on mine (French device) .

Works on mine.

I'm also having the same issue, haven't got it to work yet either. Again, I've enabled it in the options but no matter what gesture I make, it doesn't work.
I've got a suspicion that there's another setting conflicting with it somewhere but I don't know what.

Does it only work on the home screen with the stock launcher or is this supposed to work anywhere? In the videos I've seen demoing it it's always been on the main home screen.

Anywhere
Anytime
Even in multi window mode

I can't even get it to work on the home screen. I'll try to record a video tonight.

It works on app as well.

I've just made a quick video showing this not working on mine:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AddrtLg1Ok4
Please excuse the poor quality, that's my old phone (and the woman in the background is my wife, ignore her).
Believe me, I've tried every variant of swiping that I can think of, I just cannot make this work.

Somebody did a factory reset and after tried? May be some settings or app cause this.

I had the same problem. I solved it by disabling all accessibility services, in my case it was lightflow that caused it. If you enable lightflow you get a warning that talkback can't be active in junction with several Samsung services, which is on one hand exactly what happens. On the other hand it's not talkback that's activated, but lightflow. which is really strange : the message is simply wrong.
I spotted this thread here:
http://developer.samsung.com/forum/...=GeneralB&messageId=204387&messageNumber=2156
Look at post #35. This is a bug of the S4 but it seems to be also existent on the note 3. this is what also breaks the gesture for one handed operation .

This is it! I disabled all my accessibility services and suddenly one-handed mode worked right away!
That's a bit of a damn shame, as I need those services for my Pebble and to a lesser extent, Lama. Oh well, fingers crossed for a bugfix.

We better cross fingers very hard because Samsung had not fixed this for over a year!!!

To get this working it seems all accessibility options have to be turned off. I don't think any specific third party app is to blame as any of the ones on the screen cap caused the function to stop if it was turned on. If they are turned of it works fine in Touch wiz and other launchers tried.
Hope this is fixed soon as Lightflow, DynamicNotifications, Pebble and Tasker etc. are very useful to me - even more so when rooting is reliably sorted.
It's also worth mentioning that turning on any of these accessibility options also causes the standard browser to keep talking annoyingly saying "Page Loading", Page Loaded" etc. Further indication it is an Android bug.

Yes you are wright. This was the problem. But without pebble and tasker is not my option, so I'll wait for the fix it.
Really thanks for your solution!

Removing bloat, messed up

I was removing some bloat after rooting, and everything I removed seems fine except one thing. Whenever I get an email, and pull down the notification bar and click on it directly, my email app force closes(using stock google app). If I go to the email app itself and then view the email, it's fine. Does anyone have any idea what the apk I removed that could have caused this,and if so does anyone have a backup they can upload, thanks!!

Do you happen to have the apk, or know where I can get it?

I downloaded the magazineapp, that didn't seem to fix it, I think I'll just re install the original EMAIL client APK, does anyone out there have that or a link to it?

This is driving me crazy, text message notifications don't seem to bother it, and I can set my emails to not notify in the notifaction bar and then they work perfectly when I go to open them. But if I set them to show in notification bar(which i need for my work exchange server) it says sorry, email has closed. Even if I don't pull look at the notification, and go directly to the email, it closes on the first try, the second time is fine

Have you tried booting into the stock recovery and clearing cache?

yes, same problems

I'm having the same issue. Using stock email app, connected to exchange 2007 server and keep getting weird force closes when opening items from the notification window. I've been going through unfreezing apps 1 by 1 but so far no joy.

Use a file explorer and drop the apk in the system/app folder and change permissions to match other files in that folder.

After getting FC with Exchange account after freezing a variety of apps in TiBu (generally the same ones frozen on my VZW S4), I've had to go back to defrosting everything, and only "Turn off" via application manger. I could never quite figure out which one(s) were causing it, but Exchange wanted the magazine app, Ant, and other what would seem entirely unrelated apps to be enabled. As much as I hate crap running that I neither use or want, the Note 3 has so much RAM and horsepower that it really doesn't seem to matter.

Did you have the Magazine app frozen. That is one of the few apps that I ran into that caused Exchange to FC.

think we need the odex file that goes with Magazine home. I've asked for him to upload that as well. Then put both in system/app and set permissions to rwrr.

Android Pay problem

When attempting to add a credit card to Android Pay, I get this error message on my Verizon Galaxy S7;
"Android Pay can't be used
Google is unable to verify that your device or the software running on it is Android compatible"
How do I fix this? Tried re-updating this app to no avail.

Interesting. This is the same error I used to get when I had a rooted device...

Did you use the change dpi via nova launcher actions trick?

Yes. If that is the problem, I need to remember how to undo that.
Thanks for your input.
OK, I undid Condensed Screen Mode and bingo, Android Pay works.

Changing the DPI trips the safety mechanism, so it looks and acts like you've rooted. Changing it back (with the reboot after) fixes it. Let me find the thread.
So couldn't find the thread but:
Nova > widgets > activities (or other activity launcher
Find:
Package/Class: com.android.settings/com.android.settings.DisplayScalingActivity

Hi
Think I have the same issue here, but I can't follow your instructions to fix the DPI trip... could you let me know the steps in full on noob terms ?
I uninstalled all Nova apps, but didnt fix the android pay issue.
Thanks

"Display Scaling" which is a standard feature in Samsung's breaks the security checks... Mental and should be fixed by Google.
To FIX... go, Settings / Display / Display Scaling / Select Standard... Android Pay works after restart...

Not an option in settings on the Verizon device. You have to use a shortcut manager app to create a shortcut directly to that options page (which is why I put the Nova launcher way of creating a shortcut).

Any option to kill app with long press back button?

Is there Any option to kill the app with long press back button (In Stock ROM) just like we used in custom ROMs.

I also would love to have this.

Ya, I was using this feature for a long time and now I switched to OnePlus 5 and didn't found the option in Stock ROM. If anyone using this feature plz share a tweak or app or method to use this feature.

There is no need to force close an app unless it misbehaves. Android does a great job in memory management.

Xposed. Just know that safety net will never work again.

There's an app called 'buttons mapper' on play store.
For kill action you need root.
And for up to two mapping it's free.

There are apps one needs but they do stuff in background you don't want. For that kill action could come handy.
Like parking apps, that once running track your movements. And upload location on data.

Killing an app with that method doesn't stop background processes.

any other method without root? with shizuku etc maybe?

Go to settings-devolper option-apps
Don't keep activities- on
Background process limit- no background processes

it will kill everything? let's say and the email client i have downloaded from the Play store?
Or if it is not "optimized from the battery menu" it will still run in background even if i check the emails and leave the app?

It ll stop all background running + cached process ( check in background services developer option)

sorry because i am asking again..
even if they are protected somehow by an Option in android ?
it would be very helpful to use this app without having to force kill every time even if you have the option to force it by long pressing the back button.

Key Mapper​
from F-Droid can do this, of you mean hardware buttons. Here's the description from the store:
Key Mapper | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository
Unleash your keys! Open source!
f-droid.org
What can be remapped?
* Fingerprint gestures on supported devices.
* Volume buttons.
* Navigation buttons.
* Bluetooth/wired keyboards.
* Buttons on other connected devices should also work.
ONLY HARDWARE buttons can be remapped.
There is NO GUARANTEE any of these buttons will work and this app is NOT designed to control games. Your device's OEM/vendor can prevent them from being remapped.

thank you . i will look for that.
also i am looking with Tsker or Macrodroid, espesially if they support Ladb or Shizuku

Tester needed for Auto-Reply app! (Note 9 Android 8.1)

Hello! A few users with this phone have sent me feedback about my app not working.
TextAssured is an auto-reply app that can respond to texts, calls, and third-party app notifications while you're busy.
Google Play Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.applauden.android.textassured
Could someone with the Note 9 running Android 8.1 please try out my app and let me know if it works?
The most simple test would be to create a reply profile, turn the service on, and then text yourself to see if you get a reply. (There is an in-app tutorial also)
Thank you for any help.

As of now, profiles can't be set to reply to specifically unknown numbers only.
And silent mode is app-wide not per-profile
I will add both of these to my long todo list though

Its not app wise its complete phone wise..
It puts the whole phone on do not disturb

Okay, sorry, phone-wise.
As far as my research goes, it's not possible to mute certain apps but not others. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only option is to mute the whole phone or not though do not disturb.

I think someone who works for Google made an app like this, called reply I think. I used on my S9+ and worked very well too
