I'd like to ask everyone the changes done by 4 . 1.2 that weren't announced by samsung.
1 new number format in stock messages app which separates international code area code and number
2 S calendar during write mode. The write on/off on the pen button has beem removed. In order to move to another month you have to turn the whole write mode off (veeeeery annoying)
3 wifi saving mode / problems - disconnects a lot
4 new changes to qwerty stock keypad. Quick symbols menu had a revamp of sorts
Any other changes?
Oh snap! I don't have a witty tapatalk signature!

when you've closed all tabs in the default browser and you get to the about:blank page. previously on 4.1.1, if you hit the back capacitive button on this page, it will just go back to the last page you were on before you closed all tabs to get to the about:blank page, and you can continue to access the previous pages by hitting the back button.
on 4.1.2, after closing all tabs and getting to the about:blank page, hitting back will now exit the browser.
not really a bug. its something novel that i actually liked, and sorta shows that samsung are starting to think of the little things more.

Wow if this is true, then it's certainly a good news! Previously, there was no way to exit/lose the browser completely. Have to swipe it off the Recent Apps list to fully exit the app.
Im currently facing an issue with the Pen Detection within Samsung Keyboard settings. It's not working on the 4.1.2 firmware on my 7105.
The handwriting recognition itself works, but it's just not automatically activated when I pull out my S-Pen. Anyone else with this issue? I tried resetting the settings within the Samsung keyboard settings as well as Clearing Data within Applications for the Samsung Keyboard and it still does not work.
Edit: Duh. It still works. My bad. Turns out that you gotta pull the S Pen out before the Samsung keyboard pops out. Once it appears, pulling out the S Pen will not automatically change the keyboard to handwriting recognition.

You're right. Pen detection doesn't activate the handwriting mode.

Strange..cause if I recall correctly, it used to work even when the Samsung keyboard is already out.

I just hate this, I just hate this.
Haven't checked second point yet.
And the battery backup should be the major compromise we are facing. It's about 15% lesser than 4.1.1, which isn't good.
Oh, if you want to have an exit option in stock browser just check the CSC topic. It's easy.

I guess not every update is perfect. Still being able to rearrange my drop down menu is a big plus. Battery drain is a bit faster but that's expected of new features are added but it isn't noticeable. I just wish Samsung fully tests of their updates and provide a complete list of changes.

Thanks! Just tried and it does work. But I personally dislike the quick controls.. Requires too precise selection.. My fat thumb can't select it properly. Haha

There is a bug in YouTube mentioned in another thread. My touchscreen lost some sensitivity which is really annoying. The battery life stated sucking a tad bit. It's always like this, better not to upgrade.
I'm gonna revert, just dreading backing up all my files.. Thought this wouldn't be an issue anymore, I think 4.1.2 is a step down from the previous version.

Thanks for the info, and thanks goodness it isn't available where I live.i'm still on 4.1.1 and no issues so far.
One thing I've found is when you create a shortcut in bar for NFC menu, sometimes when the NFC icon picture gone and you want to try activate to NFC, the system UI will crash and it will restarted yhe the UI then you should activated through setting menus by manually.

thank you for posting this up...honestly, the only thing I know in 4.1.2 JB update was battery life sucked very much.
and i was surprised that there are more listed. :laugh:
No Back Jumping Animation
Ive found that apart from battery life that sucks after the 4.1.2 update, I have also lost the back jump animation. Now, pressing the back button takes you to the home screen/launcher rather than jumping to the other open app. In 4.1.1, after pressing back, the previous app would jump in from the top. Now that no longer happens.
Also the phone is a bit laggy, 4.1.1 was so much smoother. Auto rotation doesnt work smoothly and instantaneously.
I have read on other threads that doing a factory reset, solves the battery drain. Anyone tried it here?
Anyone else face this issue? im on stock 4.1.2 DLL7.

Mine always worked like the way you described. If you pull out the S Pen and hit a textbox, the handwriting mode is enabled, but it doesn't switch the keyboard when the s pen is pulled out during typing. I think it is working correctly, but definitely makes a lot of sense to switch it for you when you pull out the S Pen.
On ubdll3, drain seems to have gone away.

Sometime if I exit the stock sms messaging app while its on a conversation screen with a contact, and then re-enter it (whether it be by turning screen off and on, or jumping to and from another app), the conversation jumps to the first text message I ever sent the contact...in some cases that is days ago. I then have to scroll all the way down to see the new message they sent, or to see the most recent reply.
Did I explain this good? Anyone else have this issue?
I see it as well.

Happens to me also, if you touch the right side of the chat box you can drag the tab quickly to the last message, it's no fix but it's faster than scrolling.
Yup.. annoys the heck out of me. Almost went with a different messenger, but some of the messages that go out using Voice don't show up in different messengers, but show up in stock.
I too have this issue every once in a while. I can't figure out exactly when it occurs.
Another issue with messaging that I experience is when I am in Conversation mode, and hit the Back button, I am pushed out of the application rather than back to the list of conversations. These functionality issues are annoying but nothing root and stock messaging can't fix.
Weird.. I have not come across this problem yet.
Yea it happens to me too. Not a huge deal but it is pretty annoying.

I actually sent an email about this back-button issue to LG's R+D team earlier tonight, I'm curious if they actually respond to inquiries...If they would just be more consistent about the top-left corner of the app being a back-button, it would allll be well.

For a work around, if you just close out the keyboard and then go to enter text again, you are moved to the bottom of the conversation instead of the top.. Annoying.. but faster than scrolling IMHO.
I did not found this issue with my G2 or maybe i didnt reproduce the exact way u do.
But mine always jump to the latest sms

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 don´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.
Anybody getting weird behaviour from Gboard? Like not registering glides or some keypresses? Sometimes even registering extra keypresses? It feels like my S8+'s touchscreen sensitivity goes haywire sometimes when trying to type
I don't use glide but everything else works just fine.

Some times it doesn't display the suggested words at the top. Just today when replying to a text and I press on the text area, the messages exits rather than bringing up the keyboard. Not sure if that's gboard or not. Bearable for now. I imagine it will get better rather than worse.

When I have gestures on and I'm typing fast my phone will jump back to the home screen. I'm thinking it's me dragging my thumb up when I hit the space bar anyone else having this issue?

Yeah it happens mostly when I'm talking to my gf (Facebook messenger) lol, but it has only happened like 1 or two times so not a big deal.
Happens all the time with me. I sure wish they brought calibration back. It might help with all the text issues I have.
