Multi window apps not working properly - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Ok now I've never had issues using multi window with my slingbox app but I cannot get it to work properly! I used to always watch the game on slingbox app and look at my fantasy team without issues.... Now when I interact with second app other than slingbox app it stops and goes to connect screen! This also happens while I search for opponent in my clash of clans game! It always worked before but same thing if I interact with second app it resets the game! This is frustrating the f out me so if anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated!

By the way it's not just my Note 8 my nephews does same thing.... His is Verizon and mine is at&t variant! I'm really hoping it's a setting I'm missing.... I've tried a few things in developer options and nothing!

I also have this issue. I'm on Verizon. I used to be able to play nfl mobile and waze at the same time on my note 5 but the nflmobile will stop if I touch anything on the waze app. Same thing applies with nfl mobile and any football fantasy app (nfl, espn). Would be a shame for such a powerhouse of phone to now be limited.

I'm currently having the same issues. Would be nice to know if its just on some device or every device. Do you have a different launcher installed other than the native Samsung? I currently have Nova Launcher installed, not sure if that is the problem but if I remeber correctly when I first obtained my Note 8 I didn't have this issue. I just realized it recently, not sure if its because of the Update or the Launcher.

I was running the stock Samsung experience and had the same issue. I can't say if it did prior to the update though.

Same issues unlocked N8. If i open a game (Dominations) and Notes...the game turns all pink and it times out.
@On another topic - does anyone know if we can work 2 apps in landscape? I'm quite surpised that the note with its unusual long shape cant do multi window on landscape

I am also running Nova launcher but apparently that's not the issue! I have a feeling that the issue started when Android went to native multi window so its an Android issue! Apperently when Samsung provided the os with multi window everything worked! I could be wrong but it makes sense and I believe multi window came on nougat but it's just a hunch. Regardless it's really annoying and I hope someone knows about it and is working to resolve the issue!

I was thinking the same thing, but then was wondering why I can't find anything on the web regarding this problem. As if it doesn't bother anyone else or it might just be my device that is having this issue.

Yeah did a search before even posting a question and came upon this thread. I guess only a few care about this lol. Hopefully a solution does comeby :/

I have been running Waze and another traffic app next to each other in multi window mode (portrait and landscape mode works). Initially it was working more or less fine. It does happen that if the traffic app is the active screen, Waze would not show any updates on the map. Waze does show updates on directions as text on top of the screen. However after the last November update, only the active screen is working and the other screen does not update. I noticed if you have two apps that plays media, it cannot be played simultaneously. Using Whatsapp and something like Youtube doesn't freeze the media playing.

Anybody found the solution yet?

how do i side load apps on my galaxy gear

I turned on USB debugging and waited 45 mins until the drivers finally installed on my computer. Once they did I could not put anything on the gear. Anyone else have luck?
Adb push??

I've been looking forward to do this as well. Mainly to allow the watch to have some stand alone functionality on it's own.
I tested adb install on my S3, and it resulted in the icon appearing in the app drawer. Was going to try this tonight, first app being the Cyanogen Calculator app. Not sure if this helps but do keep us appraised on how things goes on you end
I was trying to add Google chrome or nova launcher because I saw it actually was possible in this forum
yes you can side load look here

Horrible Multitasking?

I posted this in the Sprint HTC One forums and got little in reply, let me know whose you guys think
I don't know if this is an issue with 4.3 specifically because I don't recall if this was happening since I installed the update..but my multitasking with this phone has been horrible lately. I mean no matter what app I switch to it begins to reload, even if it's the last one I used or a light application (ex Google Now to Messaging). I already found it frustrating how upon switching apps with this phone it would show you a frozen image for a brief moment before before allowing you to interact with the actual application, but now apps are actually having to reload. I'm using apex pro and it's also redrawing nearly every time I go back to the homescreen, be it from internet, floorboard, messaging etc. Not sure why it's happening but it started like a week ago and my phone has been feeling pretty ****ty because of it. My GS4 w/touchwiz has less multitasking issues than this phone right now, any ideas on what's going on? Stock unrooted 4.3

Isn't there a specific setting that locks the launcher in memory to prevent the redraws? Are you running a custom rom or you're using apex on a stock rom?

There is that setting, but when it's enabled a notification sits in the dropdown that says to remove apex from the permanent memory, you can't swipe it away either. Really stupid, never seen a phone with that notification before, my s2 with 1gb of ram multitasked amazing. Regardless it's all aspects of multitasking not just launcher redraw, if I switch from messages to setting and then back to massages, it'll have to reload regardless of how light of an app it is.
Stock unrooted 4.3. Rebooting gives me a few days without hindrance but eventually the problem resurfaces, I barely have any apps installed and none of them are out of the ordinary.

Auto Rotate Lag in KK

Guys, any of you seeing the lag in auto rotate after the kitkat update? It's ridiculous to the point I've just turned it off. I'm talking like 5 secs for orientation to change. Plus when I open the messages app and the phones in portrait, it goes straight to landscape. -I'm thinking because at some point within the last 10 seconds the phone was oriented differently.
Is there a fix? Would rather not reset. ..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
I'm not having any trouble with my auto-rotate, I just checked in like 8 apps just to make sure. But I am have a lag issue where when I am in the conversation list in messaging and open a conversation, it lags like 5 seconds until the text bubbles load.
Hmm Def strange. It's the worst for me in the messages app. I was looking on the t mobile forums and there are quite a few complaining about it there.
If it's not affecting everyone I'm optimistic that a reset might fix it...

Issue is definitely with the messages app.

Web browsers crashing

Hi there.
Well I currently have the s6 edge from att. Android 5.0.2
I know there is a newer android version but it's not been released yet on att.
Well my problem is that my Web browsers keeps crashing. It's crashes when I open it. Kicking me back to where home screen. Then I haven to open it again and now it works.
But it's always the first time I open it after not using it when it crashes. Same for chrome and Firefox. Haven't tried other browsers yet.
Any fix?
I noticed that with chrome a few weeks ago..switched to chrome dev..seemed to be fixed. Then as of recent, that has been crashing too..idk what could be causing it. Low ram maybe?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using XDA Free mobile app
I am not sure. It may be the famous sucky ram management. I don't know if this is fixed with the update
Mine's done it pretty much from day 1. The browser is the only thing that does it though. Doesn't matter if I launch a link from Gmail, email, search, voice, whatever. It always closes as soon as the page opens the first time. After that it's fine. I took the recent OTA hoping there would be a fix, but there was no change.

Whoa you upgraded too huh? When I disable the culprit and the apps/game finally open launches then I don't get the issue anymore even after enabling the culprit. Mine was swipepad and LMT
