I'm still for a widget to turn the screen off once the icon is tapped. this is handy as i do not have to move my hand all the way up to the power button. I'm thinking to develop my own app on this if the API has this option.

Is there anyway to have it so the button back light times out if the Burton's aren't pressed or something like That? It is very distracting while watching Netflix or reading an ebook.

An app called Screen Filter from the Market allows you to turn off the buttons. I run this app right before I launch the Kindle app.

That has been removed. The menu button will appear only if necessary and needed by the app itself. If you don't seem to find the menu button, it might be embedded in the app itself. The menu button on the navigation bar will appear at the left-most corner. A 3 horizontal line with a small triangle.
So it seems like..it has already been removed..and also the screen grab shortcut aswell hmmm anyways thanks for the input though

Any idea how to flip the multitask and back buttons ? Isn't it weird that the back button is now on the right ? Why would Samsung do that ?
My menu button on GT-6210 hardly ever shows up no matter which app I'm using & it's totally random when it decides to show back up (using stock honeycomb.) I got so annoyed by not having it when I needed it so I bought an app called called button survivor from the market. I think it needs root permission but now I can use that to open the menu whenever I need it.

So did they remove quick launch options in the display settings removed on jellybean?
Settings/display/quick launch
I don't have jellybean so I can't check but if they they removed the quick launch option & removed the screenshot shortcut that is very disappointing and makes no sense at all.

I mean the function when you press and hold and it cuts a portion of the screen. I can't find a way to turn it off, it's really annoying when using other apps.

This really sucks in apps like Papyrus because you can't have the eraser tool on the button.
One thing that I am finding annoying in Kitkat is that the left most screen (other than Google Now) is the default screen after pressing the home button. I'd prefer that I could choose which screen the home button takes me to. Is there a setting for this that I am misssing?
Thanks
Yes you're missing everything about android, this isn't ios of course you can change whichever home screen you want. When you're on your home screen press the 'Home screen button' again and then press the small + sign the upper right corner, there you can add or delete and rearrange your screens and the one with the green check mark is your default main home screen.

That worked on 4.3, but it doesn't seem to work on 4.4. The default home screen (i.e. where the home button takes you) is always the "left-most" screen (other than google now) and you have to scroll right to get to the other screens.

Not being able to choose the default screen bugged me for a total of 1 day and now I don't care anymore.

you can drag and rearrange the screens to pick a new home
While it looks like there is no way to set which screen is the home screen - probably because of google now being the leftmost screen - you CAN change the order of the screens by long-pressing and then dragging them to rearrange. Whichever one is left-most becomes the default "home screen". when you hit the home icon.
This feature is somewhat lacking in its execution on Samsung devices...
You can only get the sleep option by long pressing the apps icon that you wish to put to sleep. Only it will work if you have a shortcut on the home screen.....it doesn't work if you long press the apps icon on the app drawer because all that does is put the shortcut on the home screen. This means the somewhat simple task of putting an app to sleep takes 3 steps.
Make the shortcut
Put it to sleep
Delete unwanted shortcut from ocd style home screen.
Am I missing a super easy alternative method??

put to sleep? where is that? I'm only seeing "force close" as usual
Settings - Device maintenance - Battery.
Scroll down to app power monitor, you should be able to put the awake apps to sleep there from what I can see.

Yes its an android 7 feature. Once an app shortcut is on the home screen you can touch and hold to bring up a menu. In that menu is sleep. I do this more waze for example.
