Hi guys
Has anyone found out a way to add shortcuts to lock screen with pin-lock.
My only solution is using the s-view flip case from samsung. I want more shortcuts!
Has anyone found out a way to erase with the s pen in s note WITHOUT keep going to the eraser on the tool bar.
The button on s pen used to be the eraser on the note 2 but on note 3 it only does screen capture, annoying!
TIA

i think you can only have shortcuts if you do not use a pin/password. maybe if you are rooted there ay be a solution, i dont know though. sorry, but hoped i helped!
What about the s pen is it bc of the att rom or all note 3 s pen is like this?

Again, if you are rooted maybe there are mods that will allow that for the s-pen. I honestly have not seen anything like that at the moment though, sorry

You can add shortcuts and then apply pin lock. The short cuts will stay. If you want to change them you would have to turn off the pin security.
So I guess I could root the phone but is there a stock rom, general for all note 3 where we get all basic function w/o bloat wares...im not a fan of custom roms.

I got use to my lock screen shortcuts on S4 and now since they missing on S5 can anyone advice me something to replace them with?
I tried app called "galaxy s5 lockscreen" but it works poorly, functionality is limited and it drains battery a lot.
I used widgetlocker in the past to customize my lockscreen. It's a paid app.. and I bought it so long ago I don't remember how much lol..
If you want to go the free route, I believe there's a GoLocker also that's free
Check out "Galaxy S4 Lock Screen"

Same here. I installed this to compensate. You can put the shortcuts you came to love in the drop down notifications.

I'm going to try that S4 lock screen, though.

After searching for a best keyboard for our Galaxy Gear. I think this is the best keyboard because it has a t9 keyboard. Qwerty is too small for our gear and I cant type fast on that.
T9 keyboard works better than qwerty. Now I can text through my gear using galaxy gear sms fast

Not to take anything away from your suggestion, but I have one of my own to add to the thread. Check out "Black Bolts Keyboard T9 + Pro". It's free and, after minimal testing, seems to work great on the Gear.

Did you change the DPI or text size to anything particular? I like this one but in SMS Gear texting app, you can't see what your inputting. The top is all used up by the keyboard.
Thread cleaned, time to reset in here, and members are reminded that respect in posts/replies is a rule.
be nice, or get out.

I changed nothing. I noticed that too, just haven't looked into adjusting it yet. Let us know if you come up with a good DPI for it.
Does anyone know if there's a way to access S Finder and Quickconnect on the AT&T Galaxy 6 Edge? I can't freaking locate it.

1. Pull down quick settings, tap edit, look for quick connect icon.
2. Pull down quick settings, tap the gear, tap Search.

I don't have that on my AT&T 6 edge, that's why I was wondering where I can find those functions.

Does anyone have the S Finder and Quickconnect in the quick access panel for the AT&T 6 edge? If not, how do you access it (without creating activity shortcuts with Nova Launcher)?

I'm not surprised they removed those two from the drop down menu since there are so many variations of these phones.

Thanks for the link to the article. I had read that article but it seemed that people on AT&T were able to access those features, so I was wondering if I was missing something.

Discovered yesterday if you have your phone in a app that you can put in landscape mode if you pull down your quick settings you'll see s finder and quick connect there. Why you can't find them regularly is beyond me. But hope that helps you out. Though just saw you don't seem to have the options period so that is quite odd.
This is what I see on my quick panel.
As you can see, I don't have the S Finder and Quickconnect options.

That's odd as I don't have sbeam, multi window and a Couple other ones in mine. I actually saw someone in another forum who's layout of settings was completely different than mine. I suppose if you really use these features a lot you could try to Odin the original firmware and I'd think it should be there. Seems as this would be the only solution sadly. Though then in that case s beam will be gone along with a couple others. Now I'm kind of upset that I don't have a way to use s beam on my phone it's installed just non existent hah.

S beam was replaced by android Beam and is usuable through aps like Gallery or Es explorer to share with other phones that are NFC capable. This looks like the pull down from an S5 rather than an s6. which is really odd can you take a screenie of your Phone info. and show build number and such.

That I know but android beam sucks and goes through Bluetooth instead of sbeam using WiFi and Bluetooth. And from what I've seen editing the build.prop could enable s finder and quick connect.

Well that is certianly odd. to say the least. its like you have a S5 quick toggle drop..as air guesture and S beam were removed, one because ((S - beam cause Google produced a more universally working version and air gesture was more a battery hog than actually usefull)) But your build props and Device match description though. well quick connect, only usefull if you have a Smart tv and you want to show whats on your phone and google now pretty much can do what S-find does.)) but really other that doing a a full Odin with the stock firmware I don't know what to say.

Thanks, but I'm using shortcuts to those functions which I created with the Nova Launcher.

I had to exchange my device for another one due to some other issues and interestingly, S Finder and Quickconnect are both now in the quick panel.

One of the especially aggravating strategies carriers use is to meddle with the UI. Verizon crippled or removed a number of features on my Note 7. Thus I could not find Samsung Cloud Backup (15GB Free storage), or Quick Connect. I know VZW wants to sell me storage, but why do the care abou Quick Connect? Beats me. However, a user on another forum posted a solution. Download the app QuickShortcutMaker, install, then run. There are three categories. Scroll down ACTIVITIES and you will see Quick Connect ...as well as other missing components. Not all activities can be linked to a shortcut, only the main program. Quick Connect has more than four activities associated with it. The com.samsung.android.qconnect.ui.Main Activity seems to be the one to choose. Tap on it and then you'll see a screen to choose a shortcut, etc. I believe this can also be done with Nova Launcher, but I prefer to keep the original launcher or Google's launcher.
Hi guys! Okay, I need some help. I just upgraded to the Note 5 from the Note 4. While I like the phone overall, I'm absolutely missing the Smart Select S Pen feature from the Note 4 (which, objectively, is the better phone). Could anyone please, please, please....please post the apk for the Smart Select feature? I'm going to try to put it on my Note 5.
I found an app that actually works better than the Note 5 rendition of Smart Select (http://apkpure.com/smart-select-ocr/com.bin.smartselect) but it's just not the same. Thanks for the help!
I don't see a app with that name. Are you sure that's not a feature in the S-pen app?

Actually, you're 100% right. It's not a standalone app so to speak. It's, more than likely, an system apk mixed with a few other settings and system dependencies, mixed with a few thinks I'm not familiar with :silly: . In order to get the Note 4's Smart Select functionality on a Note 5 I'll probably have to reach out to one of my smart developer friends.
Thanks for responding!
