Multi-window - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone unlock the multi-window feature on their 6P? I'm wondering how it compares to the Note 5 multi-window features.

There's another thread about this.

Summary - it works but imo no where close to how its implemented on Samsung's

Yes, you can enable it and it works...but like the guy above me said-it's not ready yet-it's buggy and unless you want to enable it just to test stuff I don't think you will use it on a regular basis

[Q] Can Qslide be opened up to more than the 6 or so stock apps?

My question about qslide is whether it can be opened up to all apps like how devs got Samsung's multi window functionality to work on all apps via root?
Is the qslide capability there for devs to tinker with or is LGs implementation proprietary? I would love to see slide available on all apps.

Actually now I see they are just 1 day apart, and you opened both...
I dislike the double posting, the the subject is important to me as well.

S7 Edge fingerprint scanner - Marshmallow imprint API?

Can anyone with their S7/Edge confirm whether or not the fingerprint scanner on the device works with apps that support the Marshmallow fingerprint API natively?
For example, LastPass login etc?
It's a feature I love on my Nexus 6P and don't want to lose when my phone arrives on Tuesday.
With fingerprint security rumoured to start featuring heavily in the Google ecosystem through the MM API, I think it'd be a shame if this wasn't present. Can someone put my mind at rest?

Can't say definitely for sure but, I do know that an app called 1password lets you use your fingerprint to unlock the app. And this is supposedly possible because of Android 6.0 marshmallow. And coming from IOS I definitely need this to happen sooner than later. One of the only features I'm missing. Well that and the ability to see my Bluetooth battery percentages.

It worked with my Capital One, which uses the native MM API. It also works with the app Finger Security. It's super fast.
I got my S7 Edge two days ago.
I can confirm the fingerprint scanner on the S7E works with Lastpass.

I noticed that there is now an option do you use your fingerprint in the Google Play Store too.
Ah superb, exactly what I was hoping for! Cheers guys over the moon with that.

I am no longer able to use fingerprint on PayPal. My note 5 was able to just fine. Anyone else?

I distinctly remember my S5 using a third party piece of software for this. Think it was called 'Fido' or something. Hopefully PayPal will implement MM API soon.

Is Cerberus really worth the investment ??

I been looking to get it but was wondering if anyone here can testify their personal experience as to yes or no ?
Thanks

You realise they give you a trial right?
Try it and then decide.
I was like you I was unsure, but I tried it and the pros far outweighed the cost.
I got Cerberus with my first android (Motorola Droid). For the cost, putting (I believe) 5 devices for tracking and protection was worth it. Now many of these features are implemented in Google (e.g. remote wipe, tracking, etc.), but it's nice to know I still have Cerberus as a backup (especially photo/location emailed directly to me, and alarm).
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
B.D.

For me it's totally worth it.
Had it for 2 years protecting 3 device's with its many options and features. Worth it, but do trial first....
not sure how much it is anymore (i think i got it when it was $1). regardless it is totally worth it. hopefully its something you will never have to use, but it has many more features than android device manager
Thx all I'm going to try it

Have you compared Cerberus with Prey? I've got Prey installed on my phone, tablet, and laptop (the free version allows installation on 3 devices), and it's got some cool features like blocking the ability to power-off your phone/tablet from the lockscreen, so ne'er-do-wells can't block the ability of the app to do its job. It's also got location-finder, audible alarm, etc. Might be worth a look, see if it meets your needs.
Although, as others have commented: $1 is a tiny price to pay for a good application.

[Discussion] Features Wishlist

Can we discuss some of the communities wish list items for built in features or features that got phased out from updates, mine so far are:
1.) Floating mode for Samsung keyboard
2.) Soft keys for recent apps, home, and return buttons
3.) Quick settings capability to turn on and off the different power saving levels (This was available for the factory version of the app )

All cute and all but without the ability to pass on feature requests and bug reports to Samsung's Note 7 team, what's the use?
No use per say mostly just discussion, but in my opinion you never know who lurks these forum boards. Maybe someone from the Samsung Note 7 team sees this and relays it to development focus decision makers

I have sent queries to the official samsung forums admins and mods to see if there is an actual official way. I'm not holding hope they reply tho.
Fireproof!

Add another User?

On my Nexus 6p, I could pretty easily add a second user to my phone and switch back and forth between accounts. I like ot do this for a couple reasons and can't seem to be able to find a way to do this on the G6. Anyone know how or if you can?
I don't think this is possible. That's a tablet functionality, that I haven't seen on an LG android phone.
