[Galaxy Note II General] BlameUREdiction:
KOR Site

I wonder if this is a Korean-only feature - it's on their Korean website (http://www.samsung.com/sec/consumer/mobile-phone/mobile-phone/skt/SHV-E250SRW1SC-features), but no other.

Not that it would remain Korean-only, around here especially, but it's an odd thing to omit from the international version, isn't it? Surely it's a pretty big USP for the Note 2.

Anyway, it'll be made available either way, either through Samsung themselves or some crafty dev on XDA.

I plugged in the text into Google Translate™ and this is what came up
[Galaxy Note II General] eRode:
I've looked through all the settings related to the s pen on my HK note 2 but cant find this feature at all. There's no half circle anywhere on the left of the screen. Any clues?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II General] Bilhouse:
Try holding the back button for 3-5 seconds.
[Galaxy Note II General] deymayor:
Cool feature and makes a lot of sense for the Note 10.1 but why would you ask for a multi-window on a 5" display?

[Galaxy Note II General] ChodTheWacko:
We have room for two, considering that our display is twice the area of the iphone 4s display.

Someone should look at the Korean manual and see if it you need to enable it somehow.

[Galaxy Note II General] DJ_Evil:
Can't believe no one with an international note has been able to confirm if this feature exists, please can this be confirmed? Looks like a pretty neat feature :)
[Galaxy Note II General] SchusterIX:
A few minutes into this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oV1z6AvPlbY You can see more of the split screen option. I didn't see any use of a keyboard in the video though.
[Galaxy Note II General] Jcossack88:
Looks as though that video also confirms slow motion playback, as well as fast motion
[Galaxy Note II General] DJ_Evil:
Ok I just tried it on a UK model, it works. Hold down back and the little blue circle comes up. Sweet!
[Galaxy Note II General] Bilhouse:
Thanks for the update man.

Will definitely be getting it next week now.
[Galaxy Note II General] xiskillo:
Do you can show us a screenshot with you release version¿¿

There ir Note II with firmware date of 20/septermber that not works multiscreen..
[Galaxy Note II General] ipguy:
I'm personally never interested in gimmicky features like these, they are almost never used, I'm more interested in a fast and stable AOSP with a working hwcomposer so it's butter smooth
[Galaxy Note II General] eRode:
good on ya. im on the sept 21 kernel and it doesnt have this feature
[Galaxy Note II General] Jeshter2000:
Hi what is your firmware?

You can find this by *#1234#

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II General] DJ_Evil:
Unfortunately I can not check the firmware of the device as it was not mine. I will be getting one on Monday so hopefully I can check that one. This was an O2 model that I tested.
[Galaxy Note II General] kojaraty:
So it is not clear until now that multi window/split screen is available on all Note 2 releases, can anyone confirm it?
[Galaxy Note II General] eRode:
its all in this thread dude.

some works, some dont including mine which is a hong kong version. firmware version attached in the above post.
[Galaxy Note II General] VR.gtmini:
It's not the huge issue, just flash the ROM which has split screen multi function feature, then play with it.

I request anyone to create a thread which LIST the STOCK ROMS which have multi window feature.

XD/\PP
[Galaxy Note II General] eRode:
yeh theres so many other awesome features to enjoy in the mean time, like the screen....by far the best samsung screen out yet...non pentile full rgb at 720p is SHARP

Hi,

On my Note 2, it does not work (see firmware).
[Galaxy Note II General] Beards:
I like that you can dock the multi window either top/bottom or left/right side of the screen (shown at minute 2 in the video).
[Galaxy Note II General] non1oson:
wow that's awesome, so is it a ROM thing? not an app thing that does this? soz thread is long : D
[Galaxy Note II General] Beards:
It is believed to be a device default action so yes, it should be part of the ROM.

However, what we are trying to establish is if this is is specific to a community or to everyone.
[Galaxy Note II General] non1oson:
I would def use it, on desktop pc I'm always multi tasking. to be able to do this on your phone is awesome. size is smaller than desktop screen but I'm sure I'd still use it haha :good:

I think it's specific to a community, those who do it already on their pcs. everyone who does not do it, should learn because they'll see that it is infact, useful.
[Galaxy Note II General] gr4ndm4st3r_bl4ck:
He was actually wondering if all the new Notes will be able to multi-screen , or just those with specific firmware, like the Korean one xD

Everyone multitasks on pcs lol it's nothing special , OSes are build around the multitasking feature itself ... it's the core of everything , no need to think of yourself as special if you open My Documents and Paint and use them together xD
[Galaxy Note II General] DanielW81:
According to someone in the German forum android-Hilfe the German manual says that the availability of that feature differs by region and provider.

Is that even possible? Or does it mean that there are different roms in notes targeting different regions and some have it others not?
[Galaxy Note II General] Gede:
IMHO its the next big thing in mobile OS's these multiple screens...

I hope we can have a list soon of which firmware has it and which not...
[Galaxy Note II General] htc6500uk:
Yes, different ROMs can have different functions. Do you know if the German version has it?
[Galaxy Note II General] CreepyDroid:
French note 2, XXALI2, no multi window :(
[Galaxy Note II General] non1oson:
right.

yes people multi task but some don't split screen multi task. some prob don't even know how to on win7
[Galaxy Note II General] hotelier1984:
No, i have the Hong Kong version. There is no multi-window feature. So frustrating:(
[Galaxy Note II General] Gede:
There was a guy from gb who said he has multi window?
[Galaxy Note II General] Daps:
Why would they limit this feature to only certain regions?
[Galaxy Note II General] Gede:
Don't tell some company has a patent on Windows please :eek:
[Galaxy Note II General] garykcliu:
I can confirm that the multi Windows is not supported by HongKong version.
[Galaxy Note II General] Reb0rn:
On Swedish official Manual for N7100 it clearly states how to use and activate.

So my bet would be that if your manual says it should be there, it should.

Yup. It clearly states that "this function might not be available for your region or depending on carrier brand"
[Galaxy Note II General] niehof:
A guy at Android-Hilfe.de got his Note already from Expansys (don't know, if they have another version of the device) and said, there is no multiscreen feature.

I'm really looking forward to this features and I think even if Samsung will not support it worldwide, we have excellent devs here, so a port to other ROMs should be possible.
[Galaxy Note II General] ChodTheWacko:
Just saw this video on youtube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1jxwzOA4IU

At the 6:05 he activates multiscreen, and also uses the (popup/onskreen style) keyboard with it.

As you'd expect, the keyboard is kind of in the way, but it doesn't 'cross the screen' the way it would interfere with overskreen.

In his part 1 video here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1jxwzOA4IU

At the 7:05 mark the reviewer activates multi windows.

At the 11:15 you see the system info - ROM appears to be XXALIX
[Galaxy Note II General] Gede:
So, NT7100XXALIE, no multi windows, NT7100XXALIX yes multi windows.

Edit: NT7100XXALIK yes multi windows, not X but K
[Galaxy Note II General] slave.of.pain:
So maybe just a newer revsion!?

It looks that they are both european models, mine is XXALIE too.
[Galaxy Note II General] olympicchicken:
This guy would be me :). My device was delivered from France with NT7100XXALIE - and no MultiWindow. Confident that we get it sooner than later :)
[Galaxy Note II General] DJ_Evil:
I am really hoping that the production version on o2 actually has the feature as it looks fairly useful. It won't stop me from purchasing but it is a bit frustrating when it is only a software change :/
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
Maybe we can petition Samsung to include it in an update????!!!
[Galaxy Note II General] Gede:
Strange that engadget is not all over it....

Kinda unique and surprising thing, isn't it?
[Galaxy Note II General] AjunNg:
Just back from the Samsung "Launch" event at UK Westfield Stratford.

All their demo units do not have multiscreen, and none of the reps even knew such a thing existed.

All the models in the UK are the same ones as the demo ones apparently, according to the rep.

Managed to take a screenshot.

Ok, I'm still new here, so no attachments

http //db.tt/Iv2Wslds if someone could be so kind to add the colon after http and display it. Thanks! It's a Dropbox image.

But the build number is JRO03C.N7100XXXLI5
[Galaxy Note II General] CrimzonEyed:
I read the swedish manual and it says this:

If you want to activate multi-windows lightly press on the back button and keep holding. The multi-windowpanel will be shown on the left side of the screen.

This feature may be unavailable depending on your region or service provider.
[Galaxy Note II General] vijayvasa:
Did you buy ? Any first impressions?
[Galaxy Note II General] jebanec:
Was there myself today. Can confirm multitouch not working. Tried holding the back button - FAIL.

Really disappointed by the whole launch. Only 16GB white 3G for sale as well. Unknown as to when grey will be out even though they did have grey on display.
[Galaxy Note II General] msedek:
Who cares... Just get from sammobile.com whatever firmware that does have the feature and flash it gosh.. What's the hype about having it or not wtf

That or wait for custom roms.... Every single custom rom will have the feature..

[Galaxy Note II General] chriskwarren:
I had a theory in my head while reading this thread, but if this post above is correct my theory might not hold true. In any case I'll still throw it out there.....

I was going to ask a stupid question to those who say multi-window does not work...are you using Touchwiz? I would make sure you are using Touchwiz launcher and no other when trying the feature. (sorry if super-obvious but can't hurt to mention it)
[Galaxy Note II General] DJ_Evil:
Very true Msedek, just a little frustrating though :)
[Galaxy Note II General] htc6500uk:
Here is the piccy that one ofd the earlier posters took of the ROM details of the Note II on sale

at the Samsung Westfield store in Startford earliuer today.

This ROM did not have the multi/split screen apparently.
[Galaxy Note II General] rahularora1:
This is the one mine came with from the same store,
[Galaxy Note II General] Xelstyle:
So many question marks about Samsung hasn't been pushing this feature and how it's so inconsistent so far.

In the end, I hope the devs will come to save the day. Again.

[Galaxy Note II General] rahularora1:
Ok we have pop up browser but can only get to it when clicking a link, can't launch it independently
[Galaxy Note II General] htc6500uk:
It's getting confusing as you would have thought that as the only version the Westfield store were selling was the 16GB Marble White that they would have all been the same ROM build unless some are SIM free versions and others are contract/PAYG.

Would be interesting to know time the previous posters that gave the build numbers if they got Sim free or Contract/PAYG and if the latter, which carrier.

I've got two SIM free models coming - one from the UK and one from Germany - I hope one of them has the multi/split screen functionality!
[Galaxy Note II General] rahularora1:
I got the sim free version, Samsung Were'nt differentiating between the Simfree or payg Models
[Galaxy Note II General] Viper2005:
Will the Korean rom work with models from other countries as the Korean Note is slightly different hardware wise as it has television reception and the international versions do not? .
[Galaxy Note II General] AjunNg:
I think that the test models were just that, test models.

The guy who posted his screen after me certainly had a newer build.

The test model which I posted apparently had 9th Sept on it, whereas the guy after me who got his at the store had 20th Sept.

Though I think his version also does not have multiscreen.

Need someone who bought his from the store to confirm.

Also, the contract buyers and the straight-out fork-it-over £569.99 phones are the exact same.

I asked the reps, and when you open a contract with Phones4U at the flagship store, they just take a stock from behind, and give you it.

So they are all the same SIM-free ones.

Was a little let down because I swear I heard that there was an exclusive price for those who bought their N2 from the store, but the price is still £569.99 for the WHITE 16GB.

Not very exclusive.
[Galaxy Note II General] rahularora1:
Yup thats me - no multi screen, bought from westfield stratford at £549
[Galaxy Note II General] htc6500uk:
I thought that the price would be standard but they would be offering vouchers/credits towards video/music. Sure I read that somewhere.
[Galaxy Note II General] Beards:
That is slightly higher than what Clove are selling them for ~ £528.00 inc vat.
[Galaxy Note II General] AjunNg:
A guy beside me in the queue asked a rep why they're selling them so much more expensive, and the rep had the cheek to say, "Didn't you know? It's always cheaper online!"

I just laughed in disgust. She should've at least tried to justify the price.
[Galaxy Note II General] jk0l:
I think those who don't have multi-windows are running an earlier firmware.

The guy from telekom-presse.at, which someone has posted a link a few pages back, is running build LIK and kernel dated 9/27.

Anyway, anyone in the US who imported got theirs yet? If yes, where did you order from?
[Galaxy Note II General] kojaraty:
Handtec, i will receive it on tuesday morning.
[Galaxy Note II General] hagba:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=hOX3HYDwTCY

Check at 02:05 he is long pressing the Back Button to bring up the Multi Windows.
[Galaxy Note II General] ChodTheWacko:
oh, is it LIK? I couldn't tell if it was X or K.

Either way, neither one is on http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-N7100&pcode=0&os=1&type=1#firmware

hrm.
[Galaxy Note II General] faisalyasin:
Not working on JRO03C.N7100XXALIE :(
[Galaxy Note II General] zabaknilesh:
Even after days of Launch this is still a mystery...

Can anyone having N7100XXALIK confirm that they DON'T have Multi window fuction for splilliting the screen ..??

If No..then I think Samsung thinks that only "Koreans" can do Multitasking.. :) ...
[Galaxy Note II General] freemini:
And rooters :)
[Galaxy Note II General] Gede:
Koreans, and Austrians too
[Galaxy Note II General] Reb0rn:
I will receive mine today in 5hours. The first thing I will try is this.
[Galaxy Note II General] Reb0rn:
Sweden has this version too so I guess Sweden will not have multiview either.
[Galaxy Note II General] Tidbits:
Sadly if this doesn't come to the US I will save my upgrade for another device. The multiwindow was the feature that put this over the top for me. I will look at other devices now to see if someone will come out with something similar or better.
[Galaxy Note II General] mayank_nigam:
i read in one of the forums (not xda) that a guy called up samsung india and they confirmed presence of the multiscreen feature. i hope its true:angel:
[Galaxy Note II General] htc6500uk:
The above video is not viewable on a mobile device. Home goal for Samsung India!
[Galaxy Note II General] Johnsson1975:
I don't have multi window with swedish version, yet... I hope it gets here soon!
[Galaxy Note II General] stesteste:
why would they make one countrys phone multiveiw and not others ,,,,weird,,,need devs to sort it hope there is devs with note 2 allready
[Galaxy Note II General] diigibio:
I can't find this feature on my note 2 either!! ahh
[Galaxy Note II General] Beards:
It's more than likely just a simple case of the phones that have it have the latest update.

Phones that don't yet have it will when the update gets passed on to them.
[Galaxy Note II General] snakkarike:
do u know how to do multiview
[Galaxy Note II General] Johnsson1975:
Well, it's in page 32 in the manual... Atleast in the Swedish one ;) I just think that we have to wait for an update. This feature is a killer so I don't think the pass on it in some regions... Can't wait though!!!! :D
[Galaxy Note II General] Reb0rn:
Its... so... beautiful...
[Galaxy Note II General] Johnsson1975:
So you got it now? :highfive:

I totaly agree with you! Been hard to get some work done since 10.15, wonder why? ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] adamskiadam:
What carrier are you on? Im on tele2 and I dont have multiwindows :(
[Galaxy Note II General] htc6500uk:
Carrier has nothing to do with it. It's the ROM build that matters.
[Galaxy Note II General] Reb0rn:
On another swedish forum a guy had the LIE rom here in sweden...

I have the same phone bought on the same store but got LIH

Mine is newer but doesnt have multiflow either I think...
[Galaxy Note II General] talboy:
Bought mine from phones 4 u uk... No multi view on rom ALIE...

Bit rubbish that they can't ship with an advertised feature!!

Still it's pretty good though
[Galaxy Note II General] Beards:
Not long ago I downloaded the GT-N7100_UM_EU_Jellybean_Eng_Rev.1.0_120921 Manual and in that revision it did not mention Multi View.

However, I have just gone back to Samsung Support and this time they have an updated Manual to download titled ~ GT-N7100_UM_EU_Jellybean_Eng_Rev.1.1_120925. In this Manual it now mentions Multi View.

Notice the dates ~ Rev 1.0 reads 21 Sep whilst Rev 1.1 reads 25 Sep.

The EU Manual is available here.
[Galaxy Note II General] ChodTheWacko:
Just realized Korean Gnote isn't n-7100, so we can't use their ROM. Boo.
[Galaxy Note II General] talboy:
The manual says multi view is a region or carrier specific feature... Guess that means it doesn't work in the uk! random, can't see how that could be region specific...
[Galaxy Note II General] Deliximus:
just flash an Odin file that has the feature! Stop freaking out!
[Galaxy Note II General] Kev Lav:
Man, there's no Odin file actually, otherwise everybody flashed it !
[Galaxy Note II General] anonymous572:
And get a brick... Better to wait for normal CWM mod from devs.
[Galaxy Note II General] ekerbuddyeker:
Can someone just post the apk?
[Galaxy Note II General] Reb0rn:
If it was that simple... my guess would be thats inside the systemui... or part of the framework.

Just wait. It will arrive.
[Galaxy Note II General] gaiden:
Thanks man.... wohooo
[Galaxy Note II General] rahularora1:
Hi gaiden, before you get too excited about it, I don't think any other European user had confirmed this works in retail versions
[Galaxy Note II General] BrigateGB:
Hello Guys...

I have bought mine from expanses.de i think i get a French device but i have no Multi Window as many of You.
[Galaxy Note II General] invisiblesense:
Multi view works!

Hi Guys,

I was playing with a Galaxy Note 2 at Westfield in Stratford today. To my delight, the multi view feature was there and it worked.

I took a screen shot with my phone but unable to post it.

Baseband version: N7100XXALIH

Build: JR003CN7100XXALIL

Note 2's screen is amazing! Looks much better than my Galaxy S3 in terms of colour. I had the first Note before I brought S3. I will say it is just stunning! They don't have the grey version yet.
[Galaxy Note II General] htc6500uk:
So that's the third build version from the Westfield stock I've read about.

They must have got a number of stock versions. It would seem that any build XXALIK or greater has split feature.

Unfortunately early purchasers seem to be getting XXALIE and will have to wait for an upgrade to the ROM.

As the previous poster has seen it working on a UK/International model at Westfield, it means that fears that it might be limited to Korean models are unfounded.

Good News!
[Galaxy Note II General] Beards:
Yes, I've been saying this all along.

Everyone needs to just take a breath sit back and wait....... it'll be here soon enough.
[Galaxy Note II General] invisiblesense:
The good news it seems is that, at least the multi windows will not be limited to the Korean version only.

It also seems possible to change apps that are available on the split screen tray as it had an edit function.
[Galaxy Note II General] Tidbits:
If every Note 2 was going to have multiwindow then why does the manual specifically say it varies between regions? That in on itself says there are chances that not every Note 2 will be updated to include it or even have it installed to begin with.
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
Maybe we can just flash this rom when it's available?!
[Galaxy Note II General] gaberosa:
If you’re intending to purchase the Galaxy Note 2 and you’d like to know how to access this new multi-window feature then simply head to the Back button and give it a long press. A semi-hidden menu will show itself and you’ll then need to use the S Pen stylus to move it to where you want it. Finally just open the menu, choose the app you want and where you want it.;)
[Galaxy Note II General] hotelier1984:
i think they will have this for everyone eventually because the user guide at playstore explicitly explains this feature in detail with no indication that it is region/carrier specific.
[Galaxy Note II General] Tidbits:
Why would the note 2 be in the playstore? The user manual does say it is region specific without any exact list of where and whom decides.
[Galaxy Note II General] Borteeo:
I love that the baseband on phones missing the split-screen sweetness is A LIE.
[Galaxy Note II General] mayank_nigam:

Multiview will be available in the indian version i heard the vice president say it in the note 2 launch event in hyderabad

i saw the youtube video

i dont remember when

I went to univercell store yesterday to enquire about note 2 and when i asked abt multiview they said the indian version will have should wait and see

Which part of the video the president said the phone will have multiwindow? Can you please tell the time so that we can see it directly instead of watching 1 hour video.

thanks in advance
