Pie update made me switch to IPHONE

So frustrating!!! I didn't ask for my split screen to be taken away or be HARDER TO FIND!!! FRUSTRATING!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Atlas:
that was a clever move, now you don't have multi-window at all, congratulations.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] the stranger94:
Split screen shortcut doesn't work on S8, I can't understand why, also tried home and back but long press on none of the three activate split screen

It needs the developer option activated?

Edit on my A8 with oreo instead work well

All but long press recent apps to splitscreen :sad:

They moved. The feature

It's in the split screen. Press the icon on the top. Of the app n hit the pop up screen. It's more annoying but its still there. This was by far one of the worst updates for note 9.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] the stranger94:
In my opinion one ui is an excellent porting of pie (far better than other brand) if it wasn't for this split screen thing, blocking of swift installer without root and orizzontal multitasking (but is Google fault)

As posted above, the split screen issue is on Samsung, since the One Plus has the previous operation on Pie.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] the stranger94:
Because I'm still on oreo, I don't want to update if not sure of recreate the function someway

Are you speaking of the native function? I know one plus still have it.

If the app split screen shortcut operate well is good enough for me but already 2 friend with pie on Samsung devices can't use it (the app doesn't work)

Ah! I foamy misread your post. I think I left out a couple words. Apologies!

I don't think that the pros of pie outweigh the negative, at all.

Stay on Oreo!

Just install the Samsung Multistar apk from apkmirror.com and the features multi-windows will return to Pie. ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] the stranger94:
Unfortunately not the "long press recent apps to activate"

I cant understand why. In the last update they put the function on oreo (with multi-task it didn't work, without it did), but not for pie, so they are aware about the lack of the function, why on hell don't repristinate it... :sad:

You can restore this behaviour by installing the app called Split Screen Shortcut. I use it all the time ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] the stranger94:
I haven't updated yet because this lack of function.

I know about that app but I tried it on s8 and note 8 with pie (my brother and a friend) and unfortunately none of them can use it, in one doesn't do nothing and in the other sent an error message :sad:

What model do you have?

Tapatalked with A8 2018
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mwyann:
I have a Note 9 Exynos variant SM-N960F, running latest Pie and latest Goodlock versions.

You (or you friends) may also test out Edge Gestures, which can also trigger split screen. Oh, and did you also install Task Changer from Samsung Good Lock? I feel this one is important too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] the stranger94:
I'll try edge gesture, do you mean a good lock module or an app?

Good lock works fine but unfortunately don't have that function (they add that only for oreo, why I can't understand)

Edge Gestures isn't part of Good Lock, it is available on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.edgegestures

Task Changer is part of Good Lock and is available on apkmirror: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...g-task-changer-2-1-00-5-android-apk-download/
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Using task changer will bring back the ability to press & hold the recents key to activate splitscreen?

If so, I can download it from the goodlocks app right?, I don't have to install the apk externally?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] the stranger94:
Thanks I already use task changer on my tablet.

I just tried edge gesture but the only thing that I need is the split screen function and use it only for this is uncomfortable..

No task changer let you change the multitasking but unfortunately on pie it will not bring back hold function....

Tapatalked with A8 2018
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Well that sucks, all I want is to be able to hold the recents button... was so much more efficient
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Chewwyy:
Its not missing just different. You hit the multitasking button then the window u want has the app icon above it and you tap on the icon and it will give u the options for split screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] XavierNovella:
Drag and drop from Edge panel to launch as floating window

I am with past posters... the fact that a natural movement to squeeze the running up into a floating window like one would do in Windows or Mac was awesome and maps took it away with pie. I hope they find the workaround. After all, samsung was offering split screen in SGIII stock rom, when others where dreaming of it being part of native android.

IMPORTANT

There is still a way to open some apps into floating app that was hidden away and some may not know. From the edge pannel with apps and shortcuts for pairs of splitscreen, tap and hold one of the apps there. you will have the option to erase that app from the edge panel or to launch it as a floating window by dragging the icon to a specific part of the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sll1313:
I just got the notice the other day that it’s time to update to Pie, which I knew would be coming. There were a few things I was looking forward to and one I was dreading. I’m currently using the Note 8 still and planning on updating to the Note 10....I think.

When I got the Note 8, I managed to get the original S Note App with Action Memo, Photo Note, Easy Chart, Idea Sketch, Scrapbook, etc. on it and it was working flawlessly. Then Android Oreo came and I had to try and get them all back and I almost accomplished it. I couldn’t get Easy Chart to work at all. Oh, and Photo Note only works in landscape mode, but it does work.

So now, I’ve been looking all over to see if anyone has gotten this to work with Android Pie. So far I can’t find anyone, and now you’re all telling me there’s even other items that are going to change for the worst. Now, I’m thinking maybe I should hold off. However, while I can wait on those one or two items I was looking forward to, I really want to make sure I have my security settings up to date.

If I decide to not update to Pie, anyone know how to update just the security portion on Verizon (don’t know if the carrier matters)? And obviously if anyone knows a way to get the original S Note with all that goes with it to work on Pie please let me know, too.

I’m wondering if I should just bite the bullet and just do it. For whatever reason Samsung decided to go with this inferior Samsung Notes and it unfortunately looks like they’re not bringing S Note back. I wouldn’t jump ship because no one else has anything comparable to Android OS, S Pen, and S Note with Action Memo, Photo Note, Easy Chart, Idea Sketch, Scrapbook, etc. I’m spelling all that out because I would jump ship if someone could come out with a device that can accomplish that and leave it alone or improve it. All Samsung had to do is make those items compatible with Office and maybe a couple of tweaks, or just even leave it alone, BUT they needed to advertise it and they would have had a grand slam. Hopefully someone will figure it out and run with it. Sorry for rambling, but I’ve had every Note except the original, 5 and 9, and it just upsets me for what they did, I really thought they learned their lesson when they left the SD card slot out of the Note 5, but I guess not.

Thank you. This works well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] JLneonhug:
Thank you for suggesting Good Lock and Task Changer.

On task changer you can press and hold recent button, then drag-drop the next app above or below for split screen, its not the same as original but close..

Happy to be back on a Note again since Note 5 :) (I do not miss Samsungs Odin/Knox however... Pixels were literally 5mins to root with OTA updates)

i think something else is missing....brain cells

1- u press once on the recent app button( the one on the left).

2- u press the icon logo of the app on top

3- u choose if you want split or pop up

it rubs the lotion on it's skin
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] the stranger94:
Ok... :/ And when did I ever say the opposite?

I also mentioned that it was already written several times in the thread :asd:

And i precised that, unfortunately, the shortcut present on oreo: long press on recent app button, is no longer present on pie..

Tapatalked with A8 2018
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
and pie, is no longer a firmware called oreo.

things change. humans adapt. when u realised that the option was still there but in a different place, i hope you felt a bit of shame.

of course now ure defense is: said the shortcut changed instead of: oh yeah now i see how to do it.

btw:

its not lacking. :svetius:

so u DID say the function was missing....not the shortcut
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] the stranger94:
Wut? :rotfl:

I found out the new button position the day i tried pie, and if you don't believe me I also partecipated this thread months ago and the new position was explained several times so now I would know anyway

What you show me is just the new position of the split screen button (that I already know), on oreo it was directly on the tab.

The shortcut is a totally different thing, you had to activate it from settings, eliminated on pie by Samsung. some other phone still have it, oneplus for example, and there are even apps on play store to have it again.

No shame and no defense, moreover I never said shortcut changed but: button position changed, shortcut option simply disappear..

I hope now I explain it better and you can finally understand what I'm saying. Anyway we can close it now because you're acting pretty ridiculous and I'm start to think you just trolling

Instead if you know a way to have back the shortcut I'm happy to hear about it ;)

Tapatalked with A8 2018
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
He knew the option was still there, most people did, he's referring to the shortcut by holding the recent apps button, instead now, as you demonstrated you have to click the apps icon & select it...

You don't seem to understand the frustration, without the shortcut now, whatever kind of media you're playing i.e Twitch or YouTube (just to name 2), it'll stop the video playback while you do the unnecessary extra steps, for no apparent reason, although it's only a small change its actually a big one, it completely cuts in to the fluidity of what you're doing, I'll give you a example...

Imagine you're watching a stream on Twitch, & want to write some notes down, Google something or whatever it may be, instead of being able to do a quick shortcut that doesn't interrupt the video while you open the other desired app, you have to open the recent apps, press the icon, press split screen, then resume the playback, it's all just unnecessary & counterproductive, especially on a device such as the Note 9 which is a very productive device as we all know..

Hope that sheds some light on to the situation so we don't have to go over it again
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
so its a vanity issue ok i get it. to each his own. nothing was removed just changed. i believe the multitasking is now more similar to stock google.

but just for the record that user did say at one point in the quote i put that the function was removed then back pedaled....

anyways cant you guys just use multi star(goodlock) or something?

like this guy is doing?

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wMS9RLT-1AY
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] gruuvin:
... else it gets the hose again

bober, you're not paying attention. It's not a "vanity issue"; a series of steps for multi-tasking apps has been removed and replaced with something that stops the multi-tasking.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] the stranger94:
I'm still on oreo only for the lack of the shortcut. Same on my tab s4 :sad:

Moreover when you activate the split screen while you are choosing the second app from recent apps you can't see the first because is a little segment to the top. With oreo this happens only if you press the home button to choose the second app.

I hope they reintroduce it with goodlook but I doubt since they add on multistar but only for oreo, so they know the shortcut is missing...

On your phone the app "split screen shortcut" works?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:

multistar is out since april or something.

works fine, even posted a video link.

cant believe you guys are holding off because ure stuck in the past on oreo.

often in life there are just as much answers as there are questions. just need to work at it a little.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] the stranger94:
This is the last time I answer you, since you clearly not interested in understand what we are sayng.

We already use multistar, it add several things but not the shortcut missing in oreo, pop view is a completely different thing (it's not even multiscreen) , same for multiscreen without pause (refer to pause while in multi screen not while activating

The metaphors are simply ridiculous since you don't even understand what the problem is (the only person in all the thread, that you clearly didn't read, not understanding it)

Tapatalked with A8 2018
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
yes but ure shortcut is never ever coming back. so might as well get on with ure life. i mean my metaphor is getting even more relevant now.

anyways good riddance. its not by debating an issue on xda that magically ure comments and wishes will be herd over at the samsung camp.

if you really want to do something about it, go open a thread over in their forums.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] the stranger94:
So? Half of the the time you just didn't understand the problem and the other half you showes alternative already discussed in the thread several times, trying to saying that are the same thing.

I'm debating on xda just because you couldn't understand the problem not to have the shortcut back from Samsung.

And you keep speaking about these useless metaphor, no one is crying about this lack or breaking their phone. I looked the pro and cons in both the firmwares and choosed what I prefer: oreo, other people prefer pie.

I hope it will come back with a future update in good lock, if it doesn't happen I stay with oreo, peace.

I know It is not likely to happen, but it's even less likely that you understand what we are saying looking to the last messages...

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] gruuvin:
That's not progress. That's regress. The feature was integrated into the OS, and to have it removed, and to only get the function back from a third party is asking for all sorts of problems. There is fault with an OS developer for doing things like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
well one ui is actualy now using the stock google multitasking method which google IS the OS developer. so in oreo it was already a 3rd party mod from samsung...so lol

now in pie instead of having it integrated, its just enabled through good lock which enables samsung to push new advanced features much quicker than having to wait for security patches and what not. they have added alot of valuable mods this way in a short period of time. who knows, maybe they add back a shortcut or a new gesture to have it behave more like before. but all in all there are options and that's what counts.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] gruuvin:
Whatever you say, bober. You're the expert.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] the stranger94:
Oreo is a third party mod :rotfl:

Oneplus leave the choice, so it's not that difficult. And goodlook simply doesn't bring back everything

You are the only comparing xda with Samsung, and this thread wasn't for grieving but you just didn't read it...

You keep trying to explain people what is what and you didn't know existed the shortcut since we (with a lot of messages and explanations) finally bring you to reason :asd:
