On [can not post URL here because I am new here] is a first quick test of a retail unit. It is written in German, but the pictures show the multiview feature.

So it looks like every note 2 will have that function.

Well, they still own us the screen recorder.
[Galaxy Note II General] Lennyuk:
SamMobile said there is still no N7100 firmwares on the samsung server so we will have to continue to wait.
[Galaxy Note II General] slaes:
I am wondering the same question.

Apps need to be compatible multi-windows ? Or, android by itself is in charge of running 2 apps ?

So, will we be able to run any apps in multi-windows ?
[Galaxy Note II General] snakkarike:
multi window only works by samsung touchwiz apps and not other apps

press thanks if this helped
[Galaxy Note II General] VR.gtmini:
Nah,

[Galaxy Note II General] mscion:
I'm still a little confused about multi-windows. Can you, say, watch youtube in one window and play angry birds in the other? Or, perhaps, open a terminal in one window and a document editor the other?
[Galaxy Note II General] ChodTheWacko:
I believe it was stated that multi window only works with certain (multi window aware) apps.
[Galaxy Note II General] khan258:
Multiwindows

Base band ending with ALIH has it and ALIE does not.

However if you have multiwindows you dont have the screen recorder function ie you cant press home and power up and record.

So its a choice between one or the other...luckily I have the multiwindows but I dont have the screen record feature.
[Galaxy Note II General] htc6500uk:
Are you saying you have ALIH with multiwindows as I read it started in ALIK.

Also, I think you must mean screen capture not recorder.
[Galaxy Note II General] invisiblesense:
The device I played with, which had the multi screen feature, had an edit option in the apps tray. This is designed to allow users to choose any other apps installed on the phone.
[Galaxy Note II General] slaes:
Can you open in multi-windows 2 apps which are not google or samsung apps ?
[Galaxy Note II General] mayank_nigam:
go my note 2, its ALIE..

is there no way at present to get the multi window feature? does anybody in india have multiwindow??

based on engadget's hands on, looks like AT&T's firmware in the announcement/hands on is LIL.

here's the link to the hands on:

not sure if the guy doing the hands on is having issues or it's preproduction firmware/software, but the note 2 shown there seems sluggish, slow and unresponsive at times (as seen during the video).

Seems that having rooted means I can't get it OTA. Luckily it is on sammobile.com for members to download and install manually via Odin.

Going off there now to try!

Note II "Multi-windows" firmware is out

I have just been to sammobile and I found the news there.

I dont think am allowed to post links but google it if you dont know sammobile firmwares.
[Galaxy Note II General] popologuy:
The reviewer specifically mentions in both the video and his article that the delay/lag is probably due to the device being preproduction and he expects those issues will not be present at launch.
[Galaxy Note II General] LeeLongLang:
The UK update is available ota. Got mine now
[Galaxy Note II General] freemini:
Norway, it even said on the box "approved for Nordic countries".
[Galaxy Note II General] lfaitas:
Just updated UK OTA update and Multi-Window works!!!. its amazing!!

just a question: i have not managed to move the menu to any other side of the screen with the spen.

I can move the selector, what you see on the screen up and down but not all together the menu as seen on the video.
[Galaxy Note II General] BazGibb:
When the menu is out, click on and hold the tab bit of it then you can drag it around.

Samsung (along with Android 4.1) should be applauded for having released the most powerful, amazing and useful phone that has ever been released. It's quite incredible.
[Galaxy Note II General] RehaCk:
Does anyone know how multiscreen works? Can different app developer "enable" it for their app or is it samsungs part?

Would love to have whatsapp and LectureNotes even more in multiscreens!

I have rooted the device and Ota doenst update ( doesnt work! ) neither kies.. Becides flashing custom rom later on is there something i can do to update??

ps: does the gs2 usb jig work now?? ( reseting the counter? )
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
Someone will probably upload the latest stock firmware. This is why I don't root early cause there's always some kind of update to fix things and also development hasn't taken off yet.
[Galaxy Note II General] kostasalfa:
Ok! One more question since allready the roms are on the net! Bought the phone from expansys. They always ship to me from France. ( the box has on the outside: samsung.com/fr )

Does that mean i should flash the french version rom?? What can be the differnece with the uk one?? ( that i am currently downloading! )

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II General] htc6500uk:
You might as well do what I did and flash the English one. I am pretty sure the only difference is the default language!

All my apps were retained so quite painless.Re-rooted and happy!
[Galaxy Note II General] danilos2k:
with the new french rom the root works?

thankx
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
You can flash any rom that are compatible with the note 2 ( that's the N7100 just to make sure), developers always use the latest Samsung firmware ( it's usually a UK one).
[Galaxy Note II General] Dexter_nlb:
any idea on how it works, i got it installed (XXALJ1) but no multiwindow function or menu to chose from.

or maybe i just do not know how it should work?
[Galaxy Note II General] htc6500uk:
Just hold down the 'back' button for a couple of seconds or so to invoke the multiscreen tab bar which will appear on left hand side by default. If you open the tab to show the icons.you can drag the 'tab' around the screen to change it's position.

You cannot currently add user apps to the tab but you can re-order the ones included.You can also hide ones you don't want to use by tapping the edit button and dragging an icon to the the scratchpad desktop that appears. This is initially empty as all apps are in the tab bar. If there are more apps in the bar than can be shown, you can scroll the menu bar.

Hope this helps

Fine to root this version as before
[Galaxy Note II General] lfaitas:
Excellent .. it worked!.. thank you!

It is by far the most advanced and incredible machine I have ever had my hands on!!

Beleive me.. I have owned all the iphones including the 4s and then changed to galaxy 1 then note 1 and then the 2...

[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:

[Galaxy Note II General] kersh:
The feature is cool, but we need to be able to use any app in this mode, the actual ones are very limited and not useful for many people.

Nice concept with poor implementation
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
I disagree. It's great and im sure itll support most apps in the future. They did a great job.
[Galaxy Note II General] CreepyDroid:
If they allowed all apps to be used in that mode many of them would crash or misbehave so they have to control it (or else say hello to bad reviews). It's certainly a step forward from what they've done with the note 10.1. Now all what they need to do is to publish an api to let developpers make their apps compatible with multiwindow.
[Galaxy Note II General] htc6500uk:
I doubt if an api is needed as it is unlikely that the twitter app used them. There will be rules that have to be obeyed to make an app compatible and possibly a flag to let the Note II know that the app can handle dual screen mode.
[Galaxy Note II General] sahilarora2003:
Mine is N7100DDALI9 and dunn have multi window feature for now.. No OTA update for now. Maybe I will get it soon.. :D
[Galaxy Note II General] ChodTheWacko:
Well, a lot of apps are going to choke if you resize them to some random resolution. (something random x 720).

Games, for example, are never going to work.

[Galaxy Note II General] fatbuccha:
Do i need to activate any settings for this? Im still on LIH can i flash faryaabs firmware? Or do i need to wait for the ota? Im from phil but my csc is from uae,.will i still get ota?

thanks
[Galaxy Note II General] :
No offense, but I have to disagree with your assesment. Compare this feature (with limited apps) against not having this feature at all. There is no API (IMO) at this time, so it's ridiculous to think that Samsung is going to port around 600,000 apps to use multi-window feature.

Again, it also makes no sense to to have all apps work this way. They have included the most used apps like browser, chrome, gallery, movie player, facebook, twitter, maps, youtube, gmail, S-Note etc., I think it's a very good list.

It's very much possible that some apps might break if you run them at different resolution (even though they are supposed to scale). Also for games it makes no sense to work in this multi-window format.

It all started with Note 10.1. They had very few Samsung apps only in Note 10.1 and it was not re-sizeable. Now they have included some important G-apps with resizeable window. It's now much smoother. This is the birth of true multi-tasking in mobile platform. What other device can even come near to N2 in terms of multi-tasking feature? I think it will come to Android AOSP someday along with proper API. But credit to Samsung to take the first step in turning a mobile device into a mini-computer.

Does it look like I am praising Samsung too much:rolleyes: Yes, but I feel this is a real innovation and the implementation is decent. By another year, this will evolve into a gigantic step for mobile platform:victory::victory:

Note2 from UAE to Philippjnes

Smene already posted about this and i was wondering if there was any fix to the issue regarding multi-view. Baseband version: N7100XXALIH build: JROO3C.N7100XXALIH. I read through this thread and has wondered whether rooting is a viable option or do I simply wait for the OTA, no available upgrades at all aside from the first time I unboxed the unit a week ago.

Make sure u update your phone. Im currently here in the Philippines and they just pushed the update.
