Go to settings and tap on magnifying glass and search for edge screen

Found it but still dosent work at all. Under galaxy apps for example the app says (open) but i cant pressed open since the word is bluured like something is disabled. I dont find app under system apps either. Cant install it or reinstall it.

Here is screenshot of unable too uninstall open or reinstall edge screen. I enable it under settings but it dosent appear on screen. Also shorcut long press dosent take me too the setting. No response. Here is screenshot of bllurred open" button

SOLVED: i figured it out. It was Bk disabler. I did enable app back on but it didnt helped. It turns out i forgot that i disable also all the servises from Edge screen (wich also contain edge lightning). Thoes servises are under sub-menu in bk disabler. After i enable thoes back on, everything works like charm now.

Recent Apps issue + Headphone Notification options question

Hi Guys,
Hope someone can advise me on the below
Problem 1
Got my Note 4 on the 17th, I’ve come from a Note 3, starting to get used to the using left button to bring up recent apps however a function that I used regularly is no longer there.
On my Note 3 I could hold down the home button to bring up my recent apps, and if you long press on any of the recent apps it would show the option “show app info” which would then take you to the menu to manage that application, (the screen where you can Force Stop the app, Disable it, Clear data and Clear Cache)
I can no longer do this on my note 4, when I open recent apps menu and long press the application it just put’s the app into a pop up window, no such option to directly manage that application.
Am I missing something here? Or is it a case of just having to live with it?
Problem 2
No big deal really but when I plug in my headphones a notification will pop up saying they are plugged in, on my note 3 it would also show recent apps used with headphones and I can quickly choose the app I’d like to use, my note 4 no longer does this, it will only show a notification that they are plugged in, no option to select app.
( I know a lot of people found this annoying but it didn’t really bother me)
Thanks in Advance

all the little things like the headphone bit are missing from note 4 compared to note 3 they have the features in the hidden settings but even if you turn them on they don't work very odd indeed....
Out of interest where can I find these hidden options?
I'm rooted now if that helps
Cheers

you have to install nova launcher(you dont have to use it as main launcher you can still keep touchwiz as main launcher and just have nova in app draw)click on nova hold finger on screen and then chose short cuts,then click activities and scroll all the way to settings and in the settings scroll abit further and you will see air gestures,air view and keep scrolling and theres page buddy and other stuff,to activate them either just click and a gear like icon will go onto nova screen or keep your finger on the setting you want and that will bring the setting up of the option your looking at...hope it makes sense just dont expect much to work just yet as i say it all turns on but i cant get it to work...

Edge panel missing?

Hi,
I just bought the edge, and could not find how to active the edge panel. According to the manual, go to settings->edge screen->edge panel and tap on/off to enable the feature. But I simply found no "edge panel" option. The first option is "edge feed"...
What did I do wrong?
Thanks in advance for your answer?
samsung messed up something with the side panels... some are missing feeds some are missing the panels....

Just found the solution: I accidentally chose "easy mode" at the store. Now I switch to "standard mode", the edge panel appears.

Go to settings / easy mode, then select standard mode button for edge panel features.

I had the same problem and was beginning to think I'd been ripped off, thanks for posting the solution!
Didnt get edge panel features on standard mote too i'm on s6 edge plus
I have s7edge and somehow the edge panel has disappeared and it doesn't show up in settings. Any ideas on how to retrieve it?
I just try the easy mode...It did not work.
It's started on the last update download.

Whats's the ADB to enable long press to kill apps. its not in the settings on S7 Edge

I have the same problem on standard s7! Long press doesnt work on apps to delete them. It just opens the app when i eventually let go.

Its a MOD!
Either your Developer of the Custom ROM will add it for you (Most times located under developer settings)
The other way is by using Xposed (gravity or Xtouch)
Its also possible via tasker

Split Screen, Android 8, Eonon GA9298B

Hi,
I recently bought a Eonon GA9298B and installed it in a 2010 mazda 6.
Android 8 is installed on it.
I'm trying to split screen, and I cannot do it, which I don't really anderstand, because this functionnality has been added with android 7 (I think)
I installed an app to force the option "split screen" to appear in the accessibility settings pannel
==> Is there a way to access to it without scheating with an app ?
When I do it, and try to aplit screen, it says that the application is not compatible.
I installed n app to access developper mode and force apps to resize
==> Is there a way to activate developper mode ? (7 tps on build version doesn't work)
This didn't work at all....
So, I've installed an app to launch two apps on the screen, side by side. But, when I click to "create shortcut", nothing can be adding to the desktop...
==> Do you have an idea about why is it not permitted ? How can I bypass this problem ?
Hoping I am clear enough ...
Thanks a lot
So when you long press on the 'previous apps' button at the top of the screen, nothing happens? It's the icon that looks like two overlapping rectangles (usually).

No, it doesn't do anything...
The thing is that I have no option to activate this feature in the settings.
I tried to use the Split Screen Shortcut app to be able to activate it. Then, when I long press the "previous apps" button, it says that the application does not support split screen...
I followed a video to force the support via the developer settings to force the apps to be resizable.
Here too, I had to use a developer shorcut app because I cannot find how to enable the developer settings on this device...

Remove the edge panel?

I can't find any option to remove or disable the edge panel. Is there a way to do that?
Try going into Settings> do a search for "edge".
Turn off.

There is no such setting anywhere in the settings.
Open edge panel, punch gear icon, turn off
I would do that if that'd be an option. No gear icon.
I have Samsung Galaxy Tab E 9.6 (Android 4.4.4)
Try finding it in apps.
Sure it's Samsung Edge? Not another app or malware?
I really tried everything! That's why I asked here. I'd appreciate if someone who turned it off on this exact tablet would tell me exactly how it was done.

Without the gear icon you can't adjust the settings. With the panel open it appears in the lower right hand corner at least on Notes.
I like Kitkat but it's primitive compared to Pie.
Possible malware... play with it.
No option to disable it. Not malware, just a "feature".
Maybe there's an app or something that gets rid of it? I have my tablet rooted.
OMG, I just figured it out. It's called "Multi window". Disabling that gets rid of it. Multi window
Problem solved!

Yeah I can see why it was hard to find
However Edge Clipboard is very useful as it allows you to store a dozen or so cut/paste's.
I use this constantly. The hidden tab is fully adjustable on the Note's so it doesn't get in the way.
