One Handed mode? - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Haven't seen the minimized one handed mode used in videos yet, anyone know if it's still there on the Note 5? Also, does the triple click on the home button activate the one handed mode like on the Edge+

The one handed mode is still there. I tried double click and it activated the Camera. I will research a bit more.

I saw a video (I don't have mine yet) that said a triple-click on the home button does it.

I tried triple click and it didn't work.

You have to enable it first. Still there.

Triple click in rapid succession and it will give you one handed mode. It has to be rapid. If not, nothing will happen or you will get camera mode.

It needs to be activated in the settings before the triple click will work. Its under settings>display.

Is there a way to resize (enlarge) one handed mode window?

Screen recording. Volume up plus power at the same time

I've never seen this anywhere, but apparently holding volume up and power at the same time initiates a screen recording mode. Why haven't I seen this mentioned.
It's been posted up before and even in a bunch of online articles. You need the SCR screen recording app in order for it to work though from what I've seen.
Oh. Just never saw it anywhere and have owned about 25 android devices in 4 years. Strange.

the only thing i can find is to do it through adb. can anyone recommend an app from the play store?
Actually, it's volume down and power button at same time to take a screenshot. That's how it works on my N5.

No app needed. Like I just replied, volume down and power button at the same time.

This isn't screenshot. This is screen recording. Not sure if its psx rom only thing or if its across all of kit kat ROMs.

It's a new feature that Google snuck into 4.4. It's been fairly well publicized at this point.

Not sure if its built into psx ROM only, haven't tried on other ROMs. Happened on accident.
Pretty sure its just a psx feature - on my N4 on Rastakat it did nothing, but now that I've flashes PSX on the 4 it works fine. That certainly snuck under the radar from the PSX devs

On most (all?) devices without a removable battery, holding power forces the device to reboot, seeing as you can't simply do a battery pull

Screen Wake

I know this is probably a stupid question, but is there a way to get the screen to wake automatically when a new msg comes on like on G2?

[Q] new to the gflex, loving it few ?

Well i finally picked up a d950. So far ive rooted and updated to 4.4.2. Ive done some searching for other roms,mods, or kernels for it and not sure what im actually able do with this phone. Any recommendations on roms or anything for it? Thanks a lot
There... Kind of isn't any at the moment. Not really. I'm hoping now that Bump is out and works with the Flex and that we have a working recovery again for the latest update things will start to pick up.
Sent from my LG-LS995 using Tapatalk
Try wiping finger across the proximity sensor and tap again. If that does bot work press firmly across of flex near proximity sensor and if that works it means the sensor is sliding back in the housing is what was happening to my flex 950

I've got the white battery...

My tp was left uncharged for about a week and now I've got the dreaded white battery. I've tried everything. I cant get my tp to boot into download mode. It stays like that til it does, I plug it and try every button combo trying to boot back and just get white battery. Any feedback welcome. I'll pay $25 in amazon credit for something if someone wants to personally fix it. It's not worth it but I love my little touchpad.

This should fix it unless you can get to the USB symbol. Try power+home+volume up for 30 seconds.

What about a touchpad thats been dead for a year? I gave it to my daugter in law after i had updated to android with webos. I have two other touchpads i saved from death and they are doing well. I would like to resurrect the third one for my wife. I've got it on the touch stone with a charger plugged in also. So far nothing.

I bought 3 touchpads several years ago. I was able to get 2 into usb mode and install android. This one had android and webOS and my daughter in law let it go dead. So I have a couple of options.....keep trying tpdebrick, buy a battery off amazon or just keep it for parts.

Note 9 - S Pen Click without touching the screen

I use my Note 9 for ScummVM and Point and Click Adventure Games.
I used to have a Note 2 and it would only register a Click when the S Pen touched the Screen (with an optional right click on the S Pen Button) and i loved that.
The Note 9 registers clicks from the S Pen long before it ever touches the screen and thats really annoying for those games.
Can that somehow be changed?
You can turn off that. I think it was called hover something. Let me check

First try turning off Air view in SPen settings
If not then try turning sensitivity down...
Or check to see how the button click is set to do.
Basically check the settings ...

I turned off just about everything i could get my hands on in the s-pen settings.
It still registers about 2 or 3cm before i touch the screen.
EDIT: I checked. Air view is off. Like i said, everything is off.
Okay then I am leaning towards the pen itself... First try changing tips. You should have some extra. If not then just take the tip out & reseat it. Make sure you don't push it back in too much.
If this doesn't work then look into getting another Spen.

Long story short the pen maybe stuck. Maybe from pushing too hard on it as you use it. Or as you replaced the tip.
