So I noticed that in our OTA update, the tab for multiwindow apps is always present on the screen. This is pretty annoying - I believe that on the stock Samsung version, the multi-window tab only pops up when you hold down the back button. Does anybody know how to make the OTA hide it by default?
1. Press and hold back button again
Or
2. Drop down notification and unhighlight multi Window
I would also like to know if there is a way to hide the tab but to still have it enabled. In the mean time, I just disable the toggle switch when I don't use multi-view. That way the tab is not present. And then just enable it again to use it.

The multi-window is triggered by long-pressing the back button.

baronsamedi was correct, you can hide the tab while multiwindow is enabled by long-pressing the back button. For some reason I thought that the long press was to get it to appear, but that it disappeared on its own. Turns out you also need to long-press to make it disappear, and you can do it while you're still using multiwindow.

With all my other devices, when I touch the wifi or bluetooth icon under the quick settings it usually turns those features on. But not on my Nexus 7, Instead it goes to the settings menu. Is there a way to change that?
Long press icon... That should toggle them.

Great, thanks.
Now is there a way to reverse that, so a tap is to toggle?
Not that I know of.. But I agree, it should be switched around.maybe an xposed module would be able to do that.
If someone wrote one.
Hey there. I was wondering if it's possible to double tap to lock screen inside apps? For instance - I'm in a gallery and when I double tap it locks the screen.
The double tap lock screen function works fine when you're on the home screen, but not in any app.
Not that I know of since with Android, the app (activity) that has the focus on the screen accepts all the taps.
You could try swiping down near where the status bar would be to make it appear and then double tap that. That's how I get it to work with Nova launcher. Well, I don't have to swipe down since the status bar is there. I just double tap the status bar to turn off the phone.
I use knock to turn on the phone.
Use it with Nova as well.

There's also a reason they don't have this feature added. What if you were trying to play a game and everytime you tapped the screen too quickly it turned off? Or you were going through some menu fast enough that it registered you tapping two different options as a double-tap. There would have to be some sort of per-app filter like the stock rom has for hiding the nav buttons in certain apps. Not saying this idea couldn't work, because if you or someone else ever gets it working I'd be glad to use it!

That's true, but I was asking the question because when my phone is flat on the table or something with gallery opened, it's uncomfortable to slide your finder to the back of the phone to lock the screen so I wanted to know if there's a chance to lock it with tapping. But when I'm playing games, it's different story - I already have my fingers on the back of the case so it's no longer uncomfortable to lock it.

That's where I'd say swipe down to show the notif bar and then double tap the notif bar. That's what I do so I don't have to pick up the phone to turn off the screen. Then, using a knock pattern, I can turn on and unlock the phone via the knock pattern. Don't have to double tap the phone to wake it up and then unlock it (either via pattern or pin). Instead, with knock, just knock the pattern and it turns on and unlocks all at once. Love it!

Yeah. Like I said previously, I'll be using this method
If you use Xposed and G3 tweakbox, there is an option to double tap the nav bar to lock the screen as well.
This will give you a place at the top and bottom of the display to lock the screen when in an app (or using a launcher replacement).

I don't see why to use that option to 'enable' it when it is already enabled and working in default.

By default it works on the status bar (top of the screen). The option in G3 tweaksbox allows it to work on the Nav bar (bottom of screen) as well which is not enabled by default.

Oh then it's a nice option to enable then.
I got confused about the nav bar, I thought it was the status bar.
But the tweaksbox requires root which I don't want to do :s.
You don't need to pull down the notification bar at all to double tap to turn the screen off.
You just double tap the very top of the screen where your notification bar would be.

Just installed the latest system update [ 12/11/16 ] and noticed 2 things:
1) When in 'do not distrub' mode, the camera still has a shutter sound. Can't figure out how to turn it off since it didn't have a sound before
2) Can't seem to find multi-window.
3) Device doesn't seem to recognize 5g wireless routers anymore...
Wondering if I derped or if anyone else was experiencing the same thing.
Thanks in advance.
1) I tried alarms only and no shutter sound.
2) First ensure both apps are in your recents list. Then Pick the first app you want via shortcut or recents. Then long press recents and choose the app you want for the bottom half. The recents square should also change to two rectangles. To remove multi window long press recents again.
3) I'm typing this message from my 5ghz router at home on the latest update.

Thanks for the feedback. I think it might be tied to using a Japanese sim recently for the shutter sound.
Thanks for the multi window tip. Was used to the setting in the settings area.
Will troubleshoot a bit more with 5ghz. Thanks for the feedback.
Hello everybody,
Soon after getting the Pie update, after the first security small update, i noticed that on my wife's Galaxy S9 the setting "Single tap to swipe" option is gone. Anybody else having this problem ?
Thanks!
Same here. I have also preferred tap instead of swipe... Definitely i am going to change this Samsung brand...
Mee too! I'm very angry...
LOL, you guys break me up, so fickle that you'll change phones because of single tap to swipe feature missing. There is no way you could have even liked the phone if you'll drop it for this.
Same on S9+. It worked on One UI security patch January 1, but it is gone after February 1 update.
Lame, I thought my phone got stuck, took me few days until I tried to swipe, LOL...
I am used to end the call with Power key but never got the hang of using the Volume up key for answering calls, so I just used tap instead of swipe.
Now I guess I am doomed.
My workaround will be to try to get used to using Bixby key for answering calls since bxActions app has such an option.
Until they break that with some update also.
On Note 9 still working after the last update, hope they will not mess with it.
For some reason in latest update they moved it under: Interaction and dexterity -> assistant menu -> Single tap to swipe ....
but now i am stuck with useless menu on my screen (kept only one option in the menu) but when disabling the menu - single tap stops working
Thanks kabangena, with your help i found it. I have set the maximum transparency to the small assistant menu and i moved it in the upper right corner. I cannot see the icon anymore. It's a temporary fix, hope Samsung will do something about it.

same here , but it's still very annoying
Is anyone solved the issue, even with the third-party app? That's really annoying; why don't left that useful option "as is"?
You can hide the assistant menu by long press on it and a circle with "X Hide Here" appears in top center of the screen, drag it into the circle. This hides assistant menu in the notification panel. You have to see the notification every time you swipe down to open the panel, but it is completely hidden from the home screen.

Except, after the screen closes and I hit Home to open it again, this little piece of worthless junk is back.
I'd just leave it somewhere and ignore this POS, but it covers parts of apps that I regularly use.
Why do people think that deleting functionality is a good thing?
Finally I found the solution (not a permanent but still affordable).
- turn Settings->Accessibility->Interaction and dexterity->Assistant menu on and (inside "Assistant menu") set Single tap to swipe is on
- weird floating icon should appear but don't worry
- go to Settings->Apps, press "3 dots" in the top right corner and tap on Show system apps
- find an app called Accessibility, tap on, scroll all way down and remove Appear on top advanced permission (I've also disabled Change system setting)
- now scroll up, and tap on Force stop button
Weird button will disappear and re-appear after reboot only (you should repeat last step again after reboot but it's OK, I believe so)
Enjoy!
P.S. Thanks to user drmusou for his post.
[UPDATE] There is a permanent solution! Set Single tap to swipe option and disable package com.samsung.accessibility by Package Disabler Pro+ (Samsung).
Or just with ADB shell:
c:\adb>adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.accessibility
If you tap and hold the assistant menu you will have the option to hide it " it will re appear after reboot" but can do the same again ?
I just bought by Note 10+ was confused when I could not find a quick shortcut at the top to turn on/off my Mobile data. In the notification drop we can turn on/off the WiFi, Locations, Bluetooth and much more but is there a way to get Mobile toggle in there? Any recommendations would be really appreciated.
Thanks.
Pull all the way down the notifications,for this you might have to swipe down 2 times, in the top most right part, there will be a 3 dot icon, press it and a menu will appear, there yoy select button order, now you can put the toggles you want in the order you like

Thanks for your response. I did that but there is no option for Mobile Data and I think this is an issue with a lot of samsung devices. Not sure how to get "Mobile data" in the notification bar. I could have changed the button order only if I could find "Mobile data" in it
Do you have a carrier device? Some of the US carriers dont have the mobile data quick toggle in their firmware. Flash the US XAA firmware and you'll have that toggle available. I believe you can also active it through ADB CMD prompt but I do know the correct prompts to do so. You maybe be able to find a guide in the s10 threads.
