Pressing Buttons accidentaly while taking Notes

I had a demo of the Note a few days back, and i was simply unable to take notes/use S-Memo without accidentally touching the below capacitive buttons. Hence, every few words i write i hit the buttons!
I experimented for 10minutes but was not able to get hang of it.... Any way to disable capacitive buttons while taking notes OR does this even happen to you guys ?
Lemme know your views....
PS: I also found lags while writing

For the buttons I write in landscape mode.
The lag is obviously software fixable in future updates, since when you use the S mémo (hold Spen button and double tap on screen) ,which is basically a lighter coded Spen app, the writing is lagfree and seamless...

I find it very annoying as well. If you could rotate the screen 180 degrees it would solve the problem, I think.

I found an app "Orientation Control" by "Coin Soft" which offers multiple orientations rather than auto rotate.
Using the "reverse portrait" option solves the capacitive button option but the writing appears slightly offset (down) from where it should.
Frustrating!

Yup, sure.
I found that after upgrading firmware via kies to 2.3.6 the s-memo no longer goes 'back' while writing on the pad. I deliberately tried to press back button when writing on the memo to test it. Only when you stop writing and lift pen or finger away from the screen, the back button can be pressed.
A particular app dev who has created an app for replacing the s-memo didn't agree with me on this. So I think other guys may not agree as well. I don't know, is the version different in different countries? I'm in India.

[Q] After Lollipop Leaked update Quick Settings Panel / Option missing totally

Hi All,
I updated leaked lollipop 5.0 version my Note 3, 9005 exactly like guidelines told here (this forum is heaven on earth, thanks), everything seems to went well, except a "little" issues what i found: I don´t have screen pinning option and multiple users option (found that i´m not the only one), but the biggest issue which i found that - what the heck - I dont have quick settings panel at all and didn´t find any thread considering this kind of issue .
And yes, I do know how to use a phone Believe me, it just isn´t there, I thought also myself that this girl has lost her brains when i try to swipe and do all the magic tricks hoping to find the mystic panel. But no.
Please could Somebody help me on this one. :good:
Thanks A lot!
Satu

That's extremely weird! You mean the the five icons which you get by pulling down with one finger on status bar right? So what are you getting when you pull down, nothing?
Did you make a full wipe before flashing the ROM?

Well, nothing. It looks exactly as it was previous version 4.4x.
Except those "S finder" and "quick connection" buttons, see picture. What i have seen, the panel not suppose to look like this, see picture?
Is this weird or maybe it´s me?
And these were the guidelines what I´ve followed when i updated my phone. Step by step.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/guide-t2983873
I´m not blaming the guides, just trying to give something what could help you to figure this out.
Thanks,
Satu

And sorry, I have quick settings but it's not looking as it should, is this right?

Really, nobody?
OIs there a change that someone could help me?
Should I do this again, and what is the best way?
Please
Satu

If that screenshot is how you are having the quick settings panel then its normal and that's how it looks on LP.

Okei, then I'm just stupid. I'm sorry. I thought it is grey and something wonderful and amazing new feature, it looks exactly same as before (kitkat).
I'm sorry.
Satu

I thought the same
There was supposed to be a special tab when you use two fingers to swipe from the top screen and have the ability to turn on flashlight and switch users. I don't have it either. How do you switch users? Go in guest mode?

Yes, exactly same here.
Although I don't have a guest mode at all and no silence mode (icon) anywhere so I think this failed.

Disable Edge on S7 Edge

*** MOD EDIT: thread closed, please go here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/hate-edge-screen-how-disable-t3442697 ***
Greeitings,
I would love to disable the edge on my S7 edge (at least one of them) because I am always accidentally tapping on them while writing which occurs to typos, mistakes, wrong presses and whatever.
Anyone knows a way how to do that?
Thanks
Robin Dieker

When it comes to typos you can easily reduce the width of the samsung keyboard in settings. Other then that you either use a case to avoid unwanted touch input or you could try to fiddle around with some third party sidebar launchers and set action to nothing but let them block the area at the same time. Just an idea. Imho just get a nice case. Even though the phone is less stunning it lies much better in your hand.

Go to settings--> Edge Screen--> turn off appropriate sliders.
I replaced my edge stuff with a combination of Swapps and PopUp Widget. Easily configure where your swipe spot is... and replace the edge panels with ones I created myself. Not everyone's bag, but it works for me.

I guess he means to turn off touch input on the edges not the edge panel itself. But could
you give more detailed info about your combo of swaps and popup widget. Which apps do you use? Could you provide a screenshot? Thx. I use glovebox as a sidebar app launcher.

I was going to explain it here, but putting screen-shots into this post takes some gymnastics. So, I created a blog post to show you step-by-step what I am talking about.

I really hate the edge screen for functionality. The phone needs a case to use in your hands. It is a beautiful phone, but if it wasn't for the bigger screen and larger battery, I would have gladly traded for the standard S7. I'm not holding my breath of disabling or reducing the touchscreen sensitivity on the sides of the phone, but I'll be interested if something does come out like this.

No Clear All in recents

Just picked up a G5 Plus today... I thought Nougat was supposed to have a Clear All button in recent apps screen but I'm not seeing it. Didn't Moto implement that?

Hi. Yes Nougat does have you have to scroll all the way up to find it. I know it is not comfortable. Hope this helps.

That was it, thanks... Guess I expected to be at the bottom like my son's Axon 7.

I find it strange you have to scroll all the way up also, maybe do you can't accidentally close all

Split screen and dual apps

This is my first android 9 device, coming off of the redmi note 4 and MIUI, feels like these two settings are missing. Long pressing the app in the task switcher doesn't offer split screen and dual apps as a feature is nowhere to be found. What am I missing. Did black shark really disable these? Using the global version of the phone

Global doesn't have it. Chinese version does. As well as screen recording and a few other features.

Global version doesn't have split screen unfortunately. Screen recorder has been added though in a new update. Also global version doesn't have the nice black and green theme like the Chinese version . Go to black shark Facebook page and request these features (themes, split screen etc) and hopefully they will add these in the next update

Do a Google search on "enable split screen on Android Pie" it's implemented and I am using it daily.

Well, you see, these settings were straight up missing from the phone. There was no way to enable it. But since then there was a system update that added it, and screen recorder. Dual apps are still missing on a system level, but I know there are apps for that. Saying "just google it" isnt exactly helpful.

Go to the black shark Facebook page and write on their wall, specifically mention that split screen feature is missing, even though it's available on the Chinese version and on most other phones. They will listen and pass this onto the devs, also the "Google it" suggestion was a stupid answer from that person, he/she doesn't even have this phone and is putting down pointless answers smh

Well, I didnt expect this reaction. I was trying to help and maybe i misunderstood the question. If the function described below you're after then fine, otherwise i'm sorry. I do have the Black Shark 2 bought in Europe at eu.blackshark.com. Is that the global version or is there another model?
How to Enable Split Screen on Android Pie?
Open the Apps you want to see in the split screen.
Now Swipe up from bottom (pill) button. ...
Tap on the desired app icon for split screen.
Tap on the app icon to get the menu.
Select Split Screen.
Tap on the bottom window app.
Now you will launch two apps on the split screen.

No problem, all good then.

My mind is blown! Thanks a lot!
Edit: Aw I thought I could play 2 games at once but the non active app will actually freeze. So it's only useful for browser and messenger apps. Still awesome though
