Rotate to portrait when you close keyboard FIXED

This is a fix for the rotation problem where you close your keyboard and it does not rotate back. In order to fix this problem you can not rotate the screen with the keyboard in but since i never do it that way its a great fix for me so i thought i would post for others who feel the same way. If you want source code so you can add exceptions for certain apps drop me a pm and i will send it to you.
I want to give a big thanks to robp for helping me with this if you want to donate, donate to him - https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=9432507.

Rotate to Landscape with G sensor
It would be nice if anytime we turn the Tilt 2 to landscape the screen would go to landscape without the need to slide the keyboard open. Any fix to do this?

Actually, there are quite a few ways to do this. I personally use Changescreen, but there are other ones such as Gyrator and G-config which also work just as well.
all of those above will work but will not work with my app so you get one or the other
Finally i found the right person who can help me with that

I was just replying to ADVANCE's question, I didn't mean to imply that it would fix the screen rotation problem, since I'm honestly not sure if those do that or not

my response was not meant in a negative way. I was just pointing out that the way my app works is different and if you used one of those apps with my app installed it would keep rotating back to portrait

[Q] Touchscreen Malfunction on Portrait View

I have a weird problem with my A500, the touch screen works perfectly but in Portrait View, specifically on rotating it to the right side - The screen area on the bottom where the home, exit and notifications area is just doesnt respond to the touch.
I guess this has something to do with the resolution or something.
Any fixes guys, any help on this will be deeply appreciated.
P.S - Amazing developer work by the XDA Team on the A500, Thank you guys!

Can you tell us what version you're running? Have you loaded a custom ROM, stock, etc?
I am running 3.2 Taboonay (latest) ROM. This has been a problem since the factory 3.0.
Also, this is a HUGE problem for me as, if some application doesnt open in Landscape and is only for the Portrait Orientation, then I cannot exit the Application as there are no hardware buttons to close the app so the last resort is to restart. I really need a fix for this, help me out. Thanks!
If you can't find any way to fix the issue, there's an app in the market called Button Savior that has soft buttons you can use.

Sounds like maybe a problem with the digitizer. Have you contacted acer about it?

@ TechPlease Thanks Button Savior works perfectly.
@DARKMAN I will do that, I thought it was a software problem.
Thanks a lot!

Air Gesture - Screenshot Capture

So the S4 has a built in screenshot capture using an air gesture. All my other gestures work besides this one. Anyone else have the same issue (yes, it's enabled in options). I can't even get passed the tutorial where they show you how to use it.
are you touching the screen? You kind of swipe the side of your hand across the screen, but I find you do need to touch it most of the time.

Multi Window

I can't seem to be able to use the keyboard to type in the top app when I use multi-window. Pressing any key reverts me to the app on the bottom half of the screen. I'm using Swiftkey btw. Anyone know fixes? Thanks in advance.

I believe when you are using Stock Keyboard, you can detach it and move around when in Multiwindow mode. But i don't know about SwiftKey, play around in it's settings and see...

Wow bro i was exactly in this moment post this issue.
I have the problem to i cant type in the upper app whatever the app is, i also use siwftkey. Have you find any solution? this happened to me after upgrading to kitkat sm-n900.
I tried undocking swiftkey and it worked, but it can be the complete solution. There are some pics of different apps , another issue is that when i want to edit the multiwindow apps the option to go play store is not available.
I donĀ“t know were to look, if any of you know something please share
Thanks
Nope, sorry man. Currently i'm just sticking to swapping the top screen with the bottom whenever I need to type. Tedious though
I have this issue too. I noticed that the stock keyboard doesn't have this problem.
As a temporary solution I used tasker with the note buddy plugin to automatically switch the SwiftKey keyboard to stock.
I know it's just not the best solution since you always have to pull out the s pen, but it's something.
For those who don't have tasker, there's the SpenBoardswitcher.

Has there been and solutions or updates to this? Driving me nuts. I noticed that after I updated my note 3 to 4.4.2 on att this issue presented itself
Swiftkey doesn't support Multiwindow. It has never officially done so.
Ugh. Quite frustrating but it is what it is. Thanks for the response.

No multitasking without gesture hints

Hey guys,
as it says.
I've found that multitasking doesn't work with gesture navigation...unless I have gesture hints enabled.
Anyone else come across this? Or am I doing something wrong?
Edit: slide multitasking using the home button/swipe

Works fine without hints. You can try reset settings by searching for it in settings, then wipe cache in recovery.
Ah sorry bud, I should have said "slide multitasking" using the home button.
Thank you for replying though.
What are you talking about ?
Download Good Lock from the Galaxy Store then open it and download task changer. Might be a good substitute.

You are correct that this does not work. Without gesture hints or buttons there is no way to slide your finger across the bottom to advance the app cards. I reported it to Samsung but they classified it as an enhancement, as though they intended to design it in this broken and inconsistent way. Anyway, entire implementation of gestures on this phone is way behind iPhone X and OnePlus.
