Chat heads - Sprint Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So the rep at best buy told me the note 4 had chat heads like facebook but for messaging. I have it on my note 3 rom called Floating Messages in settings but cant find it anywhere on note 4. Did best buy rep just lie straight out or am I missing something?

When you shrink to floating Windows, and press the white action circle on top, press the icon that looks like a square with arrows pointing inward.

Ok im sorry im a little confused.... what do you mean by shrink to floating windows

Swype from an upper corner diagonally toward the center.
It doesn't work on all apps without Wanam xposed, but will for chrome, phone, Samsung stuff.
Our Google it. There's a lot of YouTube videos of note 4 features.

Ok cool I thought when u got a text that floating chat head would automatically pop up... but I think I'm wrong

Just bought Galaxy Nexus

wow nice phone
I got some questions :
There's a chance like in Iphone while you browsing if u click top of the screen you go directly to top of the screen ?
Which launcher do you use it ?
With Iphone if I receive a sms and phone is on the table, I see that the display turns On and show the sms. Here I hear the sound but nothing happen, and remains black the screen, can I change it ?
thanks
If you install handcent sms you can have iphone like chat bubbles and the option to have screen on and sms popup

Nova ftw!
Too many issues with apex or go launcher.
Nova has served me well.
another tip that can save me
With Iphone, if you visit a huge website like blogs, and u are very deep in it, then if you wanna get on the top of the page, you just touch top screen of browser et-voilĂ  you get insta moved to the top.
Here I miss it

I don't think that exists, but if you use Opera/Opera Mini/Opera Mini Next, they have it to where if you scroll up fast enough you get an option to just click a button to head straight to the top.
... at least I think that was Opera.
ah damn thats so bad, it so wonderfull tool.
theres a way to get into google with 1 click maybe ?
On ICS Browser + you can tap the website icon to jump to the top of the page. Here's the market link.

For Google you can just tap the search bar on your home screen. It can search Google and your phone for apps and contacts also.

Usually if you just try to scroll really fast it will go very far all the way to the top.

[Q] How do I turn off the blue pull tab app drawer??

I searched but didn't see anything on this.
There is a blue pull tab thing on the left hand side of my screen. I want it gone, but can't find out how to get rid of it.
Thanks!
There's a ton of threads already on this. ..

It allows you to access the multi-window feature of the NII, for accessing 2 apps at the same time.
To be fair its not a particularly well advertised feature and with little to no instruction a lot of people won't know what it is for.
But it is for split screen mode.
You can drag apps to the top of bottom part of the screen from that bar to run two apps side by side.

Semi circle shape tab appearing on the side of my screen

Hi all I accidentally activated a semi circle tab on my note 2. When I swipe the blue semi circle tab.. a column with 8 apps appear at the side of the screen..
This semi circle tab can be shifted to the top or bottom and left or right of the screen.. can someone advice me where to disable it?

that's the multi Window feature of this beast. Hold the back touch button for a second, the tab will disappear. If it's there, you can open 2 apps at the same time in a split screen fashion. Try it out. Works like a charm.

What happens when the 1/2 moon won't dissapear no matter how long you hold the "back" button? Shall you call me a noob or average joe? Maybe just answering an honest question should be enough to swell your head a touch eh?
Replying to a dead 10 month old thread just to mock someone doesn't make you look any more intelligent then the one you were replying to.
If you are having troubles disabling the multi-window feature open Settings> Display> take the check out of Multi-window.

Fallenkirmit, well even though the post might be a bit old it get's veiwed by many who Google their issues. My 6yr. old boy was telling me how rude it was for him to act that way towards the OP, so I thought about the time frame and yet thought of all those other people that may not ask a question because of reading his responce or those that might or do respond now on Forum's. Thank
you for your kind responce. Just looked and I don't have Multi-Window listed under Device catagory then selecting Display.
If you want to completely disable it, it should be in system settings / display / multi-window feature, uncheck. If its not there then perhaps its not Multi-Window your having issues with. Are you on a TouchWhiz based ROM?

Everything is stock in this 4.1.1 until I can get through this divource then backup my addy's then ROM time.
Multi Window isnt in 4.1.1

Then i'll have to write it down thought it was 4.11.

Web browsing question

Hey all, just got my S3. Have been living on a G2 for a full 2 years. Had no issues, didnt see a need to upgrade. But I finally did.
I do a lot of news browsing on my fone, part of my job, i was able to double tap the text portion and my G2 would center and fit to screen just the text of the articles. Havent been able to figure out that on my S3. Is it even possible or do i just have to try and zoom and landscape view everything?
Another quick question, quick closing web page currently viewing. Say I was reading an article on one webpage and another window had say um er porn, how would i quick close the porn and go back to the article. (girlfriend is a quiet walker)
I use xscope browser, swipe to the side and the screen changes to your other open page and dbl tap zoom works.

Regarding the text resize issue, the default browser should have that functionality. Check that settings > advanced > auto fit is enabled. If I was worried about hiding pr0n fast I would just hit home and open something random. It'd be like to key presses. I'm guessing switching tabs would have to be the same or more.

but that does not explain the pants around the ankles....
Stock browser has a reading mode. On a lot of sites press the green R in the address bar. Not quite the same but can be nice to use.

This made me chuckle.
Why not just hit the home button ?
Is it really more believable to be going at it to an article about stool softener, solar panels, or Obama than your homescreen ? Homescreen's probably less awkward than Obama, man, unless your girlfriend is into that.
Also, browsers have tabs. Just switch tab ? Delineate browser usage by function ?
Or just look at porn together or something that way you don't have to hide it. :good:
Thanks guys, the autofit actually helped a lot.
"checking for hemoroids" is a good excuse for the pants around the ankles. Has worked for me.

side bar display help please.

hi
i have just upgraded from the s7 edge to the s9+
the only issue i am having wit it is that i cant get the side bar to display my messages. on my old s7 when i got a text message i could just slide my finger across the the of the screen and the text message would scroll across the edge of the screen allowing be to read it without having to pick up my phone. that was great for me at work.
i am unable to find how to turn this on with the s9+ is it possible to do it? if yes how please?
You are referring to the RSS feed like option when screen is off? If so yes unfortunately that feature was removed since the S8/S8+. Now I'm used to not having it. They should have removed the Edge screen option and kept the RSS feed. Used to like getting my sports feed like that.
thats crap, the main thing i liked about the phone was that feature,
i think i ill return the s9+ and go back to the 7edge
thank you for the information.

This is my first Samsung so I don't know exactly how they look compared to what you're used to. However the two apps that it seems is called Messages Edge, and Messages Pro.
