[Q] Multi window does not work

Hello,
The multi window option of my GN3 doesn't work, the bar on the left hand side does not appear when i keep pressing the return button.
Of course, the multi window option is activated in the settings.
By the way, my GN3 is rooted.
Can someone help me fixing this problem ?

Check if the multiwindow toggle is on at notification or quick toggle menu.

Did you freeze com.sec.android.app.FlashbarService, by any chance?
If yes, that's the multiwindow bar you froze.
If no, are you long-pressing return or just clicking it? You need to hold return, not click it.

Peculiar. What it does for me when I press Multi Window is a cycle of three settings:
1. Show the (<| toggle (bad graphical representation) on the right (or left) side in the middle of screen.
2. Hide the toggle completely
3. Show the bar.
Try clearing the cache and data on com.sec.android.app.FlashbarService. If that doesn't help, try wiping the system cache in recovery.

I did that as well and i wiped the cache partition but it still doesn't work..
Another solution ?

Other than a factory reset, sadly no.

I tried to reset my phone with a rom stock thanks to Odin but it didn't work. I think that the method that i followed was not correct.
Can you tell me how to reset my phone with Odin ?

Nobody can help me ?

I'm waiting for solution too. .. but my case is it kept force close the flashbar service.

Hey Folks,
i did not want to open a new thread for this topic, so i searched and added my problem to this existing thread.
Since a few days my Note 3 (N9005) is also not able to use Multi Window.
The Option in Settings is not highlighted and can not be turned to "on" anymore.
S Pen Window works (but only with standard apps like calculator, browser etc.)
Screenshot of Quick Settings: (Notice gray background of the symbol)

I did not change anything in the last few weeks (only a new microSD (32GB))
Everything Stock, no Root, Official 4.4.2
Maybe there is a solution other than factory reset
Thanks a lot!

Just reinstall MultiWindowTrayService and FlashBarService...

Ok,
that sound easy. But where do i find these services?
i took a look around in the file system, but did not find anything.
can you maybe share a link for the .apk´s from a reliable source!?
Edit:
After trying some .apk´s (from android host) they all respond with "app could not be installed".
Any other ideas maybe?
i dont want to restore my device/data but it seems like it is the only option.
Thanks a Lot!

Data button problem

HI,
i cannot access data from settings(notifications drop down). Data button has been deleted, how to restore it. When i want to enable data always i need to go to sim settings and enable it.

Hey, I've been facing the same issue. Basically, it happens when signal is low/unavailable, and then on reconnection, the mobile data quick-setting tile disappears.
The simplest, quickest fix I've seen is just to enable and disable Airplane mode every time it happens.

Yes, exactly. It just disappears sometimes. Did you try toggling Airplane Mode? That fixes it for me.

Have the same issue, try reboot your G4. The reboot will fix the problem.

If that does not work and reboot does not work, then unfortunately u have to factory reset.

Hold Settings icon in Notification Bar..it'll give one Pop to access 'System UI Tuner', accept it. Then you can find that Settings Icon will change in notification bar.
In Settings at bottom a new menu will be added 'System UI Tuner' , in that select 'Quick Settings'..there you can add for Data...

Added but same repeats

Got it in status bar, but u don't know how

No mobile data toggle tmo

In s7 edge t mobile version there is no data toggle in notification panel.
We have to go all the way back to settings to turn it on.
Since the root is achieved is there any way to bring back the toggle???
Thanks

Should be able to decompile the system ui and activate it.

Install Good Lock from the galaxy store. No root required.

Tmo bastards removed it.. I've asked @jds3118 to put this feature in his Echoe rom(btw check it out it's great). I'm an optimist that we will have this feature soon enough!

Just curious
What is the reason you would like a data toggle? Do you roam around in the mountains? I just turn the phone off when I'm in the remote places of the world. But mostly, I just use wifi at home which shuts down data, and when I leave house turn off wifi, which enables data and allows me to use my android radio and maps and stream. So what is the reason for a switch, I have a widget set that includes that switch, I'll check for you to find which one it is but I think it is called Beautiful widgets, or it may be in Fancy widgets. I use to use that switch all the time back many years ago but find no reason to use it anymore.

Is there any way for non rooted phone.????
I do use good lock but i dnt like stock android look i prefer touchwiz ui..
I always switch btwn data and wifi whole day...so i need that toggle in notification panel

Check out what I did here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjwbs8qwd2o this is the closest I have got with out root. it works pretty well.

ok guys i have a trick not original but it does give faster access to data toggler not on the notification bar but on home screen i came up with this after reading this tread=
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/help/built-caller-id-hidden-t3357996[/url] for the incoming caller ID hack. well with that app i did a data search look for phone com.android phone then you click on it to branch it then tap on mobile data then create short cut and bingo no more clicks after clicks then i found a image of a setting with the data toggler image took a picture of it edit it to smaller size and swap it with the phone image like i said not perfect but it will do for me. hope this help others her is image of it maybe somebody can make a nicer data icon image been this thread was all ready started i didn't want to start a new one

Or use good lock and enable quick settings tab.

GOOD LOCK is not just a lock screen like I thought.
IT GIVE YOU MOBILE DATA QUICK TOGGLE
the default them looks CRAPPY AS all can be, see my screen shots after I changed it.
I'm a happy camper

Mobile data toggle is absent in nougat too for tmo...i wrote suggestion to add the toggle.. and also good lock is not present in nougat...

Isn't there any other method like to edit some Xml files in order to see the toggle? This is a carrier 'feature' and I think is not that hard to enable it, if you know where to look...
Anybody?

I have Nougat on my Moto Z. The notification shade has 2 positions, 1) partly down, and 2) all the way down. I placed the Cellular Data icon in the first row. When I pull the notification shade down once (i.e. part way down) and double click on the Cellular Data icon, it toggles Cellular Data on and off.

You will need root otherwise cant do this. You need to edit the others.xml file in System/CSC on your device. When you open the others.xml you will see the csc code. Edit the line that says ConfigDefQuickSettingItem and add MobileData on the end. After editing make sure to set permissions if they changed to 644. I used root explorer to do all this. After editing the CSC go into settings, general then reset settings on your device. When it reboots go to edit the quick setting icons and the Mobile Data Icon will be there.

Thanks Naruto. But do you know, is it possible to root Android Nougat?

What is the reason for needing a mobile data toggle? At idle, phones do not consume alot of data. An unlimited plan can be had on this device for $65 with Cricket. Even without unlimited, I do not understand the need for the toggle? In what instance would you like the mobile data turned off?

It will never happen unless they do like they did for the S5. Flash back to MM, install flashfire, then flash a N rom. I doubt there will ever be a N root. Plus its new, even if there was, it would be months from now until it would happen.

I want to turn off data when I do not need it. I do the same with the WiFi. It is not related to my data plan but to the battery life I have which is very poor.
Disabled most of the bloatware and still get 2-3 h of SOT maximum.

Ouch, sorry to hear that. Do you use snapchat and facebook? I hear those destroy your battery. Can you post a screenshot of your battery usage by app? Im sure the people here will know exactly what it is. I can leave my data on and only lose 4 percent overnight in 7.5 hours just idle with data on.

Issue with new September 2016 security update and Clear View cover

I just got my September 1st Android security update OTA (I'm in the UK).
Right from the start, I noticed that the phone didn't lock/show the Clear View info when I closed the front door of the cover. In fact, the screen just stays on like the cover hasn't been shut at all. Also,, when opening the cover, it doesn't bring the screen on either - so it's completely ignoring the magnet from the looks of things.
Has anyone else got this?

Answering my own thread here:
A second boot showed the "Upgrading apps" screen very briefly, and once booted, seems like everything is back to normal with a fully working clear view cover. So after the upgrade, do another reboot just in case of any weirdness (might apply to more than just the clear view cover issue I had).

Er, afraid I don't know what that is. Tell me how to check and I'll take a look.

It's usually in the quick toggles, it says VoLTE as the icon i think.

It's not in my list of quick toggles I'm afraid.

VoLTE is in phone settings, not in quick toggles.
And I think your carrier should support and enable VoLTE to use it. I'm on the August update.

On the efficient rom 3.2 there is no volte even though my carrier supports it, any ideas?

Could you check if it is in phone settings too? I done some googling and apparently some people say on the september patch it has been baked into it.
When i download the wanam csc app, i can see all the csc values for volte to be true but no volte option on the phone app nor quick toggles

Not in settings either for me!

navigation bar colors Huawei p10 lite

Hi.
My Huawei p10 lite doesn't allow to modify the color of the navigation and notification bars when opening any app. Apparently the color is locked (it's a dark orange) and app like navbar are not able to modify in any way the fixed color.
Only when opening "Settings" the bars are white and in home screen, where navigation bar is transparent.
The phone came with a telephone company brand (which logo, by the way, has same basic color of the navigation bar) but other customers I contacted throug socials that got the phone with same conditions from the same brand, seem don't have the issue.
Is there any idea how to unlock the navigation bar color without being root or go through other invasive expedients?
Thanks a lot,
Luca.

This happened to me when I asked Google assistant to turn on power saving mode. I got super annoyed by the orange colour. So I tried telling it to turn it off but it wouldnt, so I scrolled up on my Google assistant history and flipped the switch where it said power saving mode. As soon as I did that the orange was gone.

Thank you, I'm still get along with the orange bars!
Please, may be so kind to illustrate the procedure in detail? I cannot figure out how to enter the google assistant history. By the way, to my knowledge I didn't turned on the power saving mode, unless I did it accidentally.
Thank you for helping me,

It only happens when asking Google assistant to turn on power saving mode. Try saying "Ok Google turn on power saving mode" and it might bring up a switch. If it doesnt, then to access what you've said before just say Ok Google or hold your home button then scroll up and keep on scrolling to find a switch. If there is no switch then I have no idea what the orange means.

Note that the orange stripes on the nav and notification bars appear on any app of my phone, except for Settings and home page.

Ok, have you tried changing the theme?
If not, then let's start:
1st: Find your themes app.
2nd: Go to the "Me" tab.
3rd: Choose any theme (those on the bottom are downloaded)
4th: Tap on the theme you want and tap apply.
If you have changed the theme then maybe download a theme which changes the navbar? (If I find one I'll try to send it.)

I'm sure this is probably the Google power saving mode that is enabled. It shouldn't always be enabled, because it usually turns off once your battery is fully charged. Try installing Activity Launcher here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.szalkowski.activitylauncher
Open the app, on the top of the screen, tap on "Recent activities" and choose "All activities".
Scroll down until you find Settings > Battery Saver > Turn on automatically, and choose "Never".
Hopefully this will turn it off. If that fails, I'd suggest making a backup of your data, and doing a factory reset.

EDIT: It would actually be easier just asking Google Assistant to "Turn power saving mode off", and it should be deactivated. Whether you remembered doing it or not, you might as well do it anyway, before you go through all the steps I gave you. [emoji849] Doing what @ianorna said is the easiest method. It's the only way to remove it, and it might just save you from doing a factory reset.

I may be late in replying the post but if youre still having the problem theres an easy fix.
the bars are orange because your battery saving mode is on, and no not the huawei battery saving mode, but the native android battery saver, its buried in the settings,
got to
settings>Battery>Battery Uasge graph>Tap to open detailed graph
tap on the three dots button on top right corner> tap battery save>disable!
That should fix this :good: :laugh: :silly:
