Hi, under settings I have the option to setup a pen hover actions and one of the tutorials shows you can hover the spen over an image with the button passed to see some actions such as editing. This does not work for me, similarly hovering the s pen over a digit in the dialer along with the button should show you your speed dial numbers &this also does not am to be working for me either. The commands Window however does show up. Can someone please verify on their phone to see if these options seem to work correctly on their phones! Thanks

the image thing works, but it only works on images that are ON THE DEVICE, no backups, no web images etc...
goto your gallery and find a picture that is ON THE DEVICE, this will not work with your backed up photos. as you hover the cursor will start glowing and sending out rings, press the button and you'll see a bunch of options
make sure you have airview on for the spen

So what I have noticed (maybe I am doing this wrong) its only the light settings not advanced menu. And you can access those lights settings with the normal press and hold method.

There are two menus, one on the right, one of the left, the one on the left also has a settings and white balance, the one on the right, exposure.
Never knew about the press and hold.....
It's just a shame there is no countdown timer

it's not a secret menu, theres no new options there it's just a shortcut for exposure and white balance settings. You can get to these setting by pressing and holding anywhere on the screen.

Those only appear because of the way you swipe due to its location on the screen. It's not some secret shortcut.

Landscape view is not supported on a stock rom as far as I know, I would wait for some rom development I'm sure it will get baked in. I noticed on this phone that the ... will appear on the far right if there is no place in the app for a soft key menu. So if the ... is there use that, if it isn't there should be a place in the app where you can press to do the same thing as pressing the menu. I actually wouldn't mind a full time menu key in the far right, I think it's very handy. I original capacitive 4 buttons on the evo were still my favorite lay out.

If you use GravityBox & XPosed, you can have one there at all times. See screenshots. They were taken from my Nexus 7 Tablet, but you should expect no difference, with the exception of the small window in the first screenshot (courtesy of the XHaloFloatingWindow module).
I might have to give this a try. The space is there for the menu key so I wouldn't mind it always being there.

That's definitely something that I am likely to use on every device with on screen buttons. Using GravityBox, I remapped the menu to switch to the last app when double tapped, and show the power menu when long pressed. It's wonderful.

When I turn on the s pen only mode in s note, it still recognize input from my finger, I still can draw with my finger. Why is that? Thanks!
Go to SPen settings & there is an option to enable SPen only mode.
Edit: Oh NM, didn't see that you tried that already. I just tried & I can still use my finger to write on action memos, screenshots, etc. but I can't use my finger to write on regular Snotes.

How can i make a shortcut for an app to open in pop up window?
There used to be an app called pen window launcher that had this capability.
Anyone?
Thanks
Just enable swipe from top diagonal to enter pop out view. Takes like 0.003s longer than having a shortcut.
Right. Shortcuts are for pansies.
Anyone builds it I'll buy it though.
Time is money (and finger strain is best avoided).

Multi window edge screen panel lets you open apps in pop up view as well as two side by side apps.

Can you explain further? I can only seem to set app pairs and app shortcuts, would be great to have shortcuts that open in pop up mode.
Thanks
How would a shortcut be any faster than the 2 step process of opening an app and swiping down from the corner? I used to use the old method (pop-up window) which I believe was introduced on the Note 3. Anyway, when I updated my Note 3 to either the Note 4 or Note 5 rom (can't remember which), I had to learn the swipe method. Now, I couldn't imagine going back to the antiquated pen window. I will say that it's not as smooth swiping from the corner of a curved screen like the Note 7 & 8, but I usually have my s-pen out for more precise touch when I'm working off a smaller section of the screen. Honestly, I just use Edge for App Pair since the day I got the Note 8. But, swipe is still the quickest way to open pop-up or floating window.

How would it be faster? You answered your own question by your described method, open an app, swipe down from corner...I'd like to open the app (in pop up window).
There used to be apps in the play store that would created a shortcut for any app, that you can put on your home screen, that would just launch into a pop up window (1 step).
I was able to create a bixby shortcut for a 3rd party calculator to open in pop up window...I hold bixby and say calculate and it opens in a pop up window...it works but a shortcut would make life easier.

Didn't realize u gotta hit the icon with 2 windows! Thanks alot!
On PlayStore, "Floating Apps (multitasking)" by LWi s.r.o., is exactly what you're looking for. It provides real shortcuts for the ability to instantly launch any app in variable sizes of real Galaxy Pop-up mode floating multi windows, in addition to providing dozens of their own original low kB mini-apps. Works great, saves time and effort, perfect size in an instant!

You need to long press the open program button at the bottom of the screen and then choose the second window program you want.

When in recent menu, just click the app icon. You will see the multi-window floating app option
It is soooooo annoying that you cannot swipe down and left/right from a corner to resize it to window view. Same thing with not being able to change recent apps view for a list.

Yeah this is totally a feature I used often. Especially when playing YouTube video and don't want to interrupt the playback I could swipe from either top corner and start using another application without interrupting the video or sound.

was having a bad day until I read this! [email protected] head scrather :laugh::laugh::laugh:
and can anyone Confirm I will suffer no " Sudden device death syndrome" if i Chose not to update until i Change this device?
really don't Understand how removing useful functions count as upgrades or Improvement. i still havent forgiven samsung for removing action Memo and easy chart. Why take away a useful function???
Glad I found this. I thought I was going mad.
Largely on the same subject, so rather than start a new thread...
Where has the button gone that swaps the top and bottom apps around when running two apps in splitscreen mode?
There used to be a few handy buttons between the two running apps, have they been ditched?
Multi window gone
My phone just updated and now my multi window feature is gone, I've gone thru every setting to find it
When viewing you're recent opened apps, each app has their icon at the top centre of it. Click on the icon. You'll get a small pop-up menu with options. You can choose: App info, open in split screen, pop up mode (where you can resize the app) and lock it.
I don't know yet what the lock functions does.
EDIT:
As mine is in Dutch, could be that the lock function has a different name in English.
The lock function: If you lock an app, and then close all recent apps, the locked app wil stay open. So if you're playing a game, you can lock it, close all recent apps and the game will stay open and running.

Yep, that was also removed. You can't popout the selected app, you can't switch app places. So, if you opened firstly viber (for example) and then youtube at the bottom and then decide to switch the apps place so you can type on viber without covering the youtube video - tough luck, now you have to close both app and open them again vs 2 taps in 1-2 seconds that will not interrupt anything. Also you miss the popout swipe from corner as said from others. You also miss the swipe up + hold for instant split screen (really useful when you play a video @ youtube, will not interrupt the video). You have the swipe up + hold for google assistant... but you don't have the same for the recents - go figure why (never mis-triggered the assistant, so it's not that). So many things are missing, half baked or straight forward broken - really disappointed. I like some aspects of the android 9 one UI, but others are just mind blow not polished at all or missing. I guess to have a "new" things for one UI 2.0 or note 10. After all, why you need a good multiwindow functionality on a phone marketed for multitasking and multiwindow? The note 9 really is more than ever an s9+ with a head scratcher.

Just to add to this, you can switch between multi view and currently open apps by holding down on the previous apps button for 2 secs then you can choose by 2 second press if you want multi window or just currently open apps.
I don't like that if you want to choose an app not in the recent window, you have to close all to be able to choose an app. Their multi-window has taken huge steps backwards. Kinda disappointing since that has always been a defining feature.

Well, I will correct myself, you can swipe to the home screen while choosing and select a different app that is not already in the recent window.
When you open Samsung members app the first thing that appears is something called advices... if you tap you will see some changes on the pie update ...
Other pie screwups
That's not all you've lost, my friend. The multi window setting is gone, as you know. The ability to swipe from the corner to resize and go multi window is gone, as you know. However, additionally, i noticed the following:
- The ability to enter your fingerprints to access Samsung browser secrecy mode is gone/disabled. You can only enter using iris scan or password.
- The phone optimisation edge panel is gone and nowhere to be seen.
- when you deactivate the nav bar in favour of swipe gestures, you cannot long press on the recent apps swipe area to enable split screen multitasking, as you would have with the recent apps button on the nav bar.
I hope there's a bug fix coming and soon

You can also swipe the multi screen spliter inbetween each app to fully open the bottom app and then select a different app for the bottom... it's still hokey but quicker than exiting out of both apps
