Hello,
I just installed the new firmware upgrade to jelly bean, but i seem to have lost my little dot on the screen when i hover over it. It says
in the new pen settings page that it's a feature and should happen, but it doesn't.
Anything i can do to fix that ? it's a pretty solid feature i rely on a lot for drawing
EDIT: Request close!
For some reason i wasn't able to get into the air view settings until i reset it twice in a row with air view enabled, sorted now
Thanks Justinchi for replying
Goto Settings and go down to S Pen and check if "AirView" is enabled.

Yeah it's enabled, i disabled it, restarted it, and enabled it again just for good measure.
Just now restarted it with it enabled to try all possibilities, no dice
Thanks for the info. I love this feature.

Oh, that suks.....D: Idk
The little stylus tracking dot on the screen is missing on my note since the jellybean update. I can enable the airview functions okay & they all work but the little tiny dot that existed on ICS is not there when I hover the stylus over the screen. I miss this function especially when drawing or editing documents, has anyone still got this with Jellybean or has the feature been removed?
SOLVED
you have to long press the ''air view" option until it highlights in blue and when you release it you get four options, one of which is to turn on the air view pointer.it is off by default.
Thanks to pwatkins over at phandroid for the solution

System settings, SPen, Airview. Simple.
My air view hover icons are working but one thing that isn't is a hover icon while in edit mode in S note. Has anyone else noticed that this is missing? I have the circle air view icons in view mode, and the scroll arrows in either mode, but no hover when editing!

I've been playing around with Mark Wei's splendid http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688531StandOut library and thought I'd share one app I've been finding useful.
It's very basic and very beta.
FloatNote v1.0.4b
Edit:
Thought I better provide some info
This app is very simple. It floats on top of other windows and lets you scribble notes or little sketches.
I wrote it for me and my phone so I know it runs okay on a Galaxy Note under cm9.
It's written for the galaxy note stylus so pressure increases pen stroke width and the side button gives you the eraser.
Select ink colour by swiping your stylus along the rainbow thing on the titlebar (the title text shows the selected colour). Click the sidebutton when touching the rainbow to return to black.
It autosaves your note and autoloads it when the app opens again.
Resize the window with the triangle in the bottom right corner.
I'm using the android native API so it may work okay(ish) on other devices. If it does, let me know.
Enjoy...
Nikad
Latest Update:
Version 1.0.9b
Changelog:
Major rewrite - had to do away with Mark's standout library and reimplement some of its functionality.
Hide and restore from the notification bar
Share note with other apps, email, etc
Saves position, size and pen colour.
Lots of bug fixes and improvements in performance/reliability
Important:
This app requires API Level 14 or higher to detect the stylus so you need ICS.
There are known issues running under Touchwiz so stick with a CM9/CM10 variant.
Know to run okay on the Galaxy Note International, I717 and the HTC Flyer.
If anyone runs it on other devices I'd love to know!

No quick launch yet, sorry
If you've ran the app already, you can launch it from your recent apps. But...
Improvements in mind include being able to hide the window and then show it when you click on the notification (I had this on an earlier alpha and just need to add it back in).
Multi-page note: support for more than one page.
Share note (with whatever).
I'm not going to go too heavy on functionality though. The idea was to be simple and uncluttered.
Thanks for you interest...

New version on its way. Just going through last testing and tweaking so maybe tonight/tomorrow morning.
Ended up doing a major rewrite just to provide a small amount of additional functionality. But it's all good! It even ended up smaller.
We now have an app that will hide and restore from the notification bar, can share the image with other apps and loads of reliability improvements.
I haven't had a chance yet to run it on other devices or on stock roms so all I can say is it works on the Galaxy Note under CM9.

I'm glad you like it. Thanks.
If you're on a call, just pull down the status bar and click on the notification. It's a bit of an illusion that it's "hidden". Really the app is shut down and relaunched when you click the restore notification.
By the way, I see you running a stock rom. Does TouchWiz not cause problems with FloatNote?
Thanks again for your interest!
Ok. That makes sense. I can restore it from the notification bar if it is hidden.. only thing the app must be up and running before that..
I do not use Touichwiz when there are great lauchers namely Nova these days.. It has been some time since I went back to TW
I use float to be called in one of the gesture of NOVA which is great. You would do a scrolling option on the screen if possible. That will help me add longer notes rather than extending the window,,
Thanks. :good:
Working great on RocketRom v10!
Having an issue parsing the package.
Will try again via desktop soon.
Good work!
I love such stuff
EDIT:
Sorry!
I was half asleep and didn't see that it is for CM9.

My problem I can not see Multi screen function on any of the Samsung apps ie Gallery, Snote, Video . Do I have to activate it in settings? I have looked and can not see any mention of it. Looking at Youtube videos it is always on the top bar within the applications that support it, but alas not on mine. Am I missing something basic?

All the apps that can be used with multi screen can be found by pressing the upside down v icon that permanently sits in the middle of the very bottom of the screen. You should have seen this in all the vids you have watched. Once you click that, all the apps pop up and you can click on the one you want.
You can make it full screen by clicking the rectangle on the right, next to the close icon. When In full screen you should see the multi screen icon to the far right, its the last icon.....it looks like two rectangles....one in front of the other. You don't have to activate it....at least I never did.
Can you see it now?

Thanks for reply, the videos I have seen all show show multi screen icon on the top bar, on further research I know see the option is indeed in the upside down v icon with a choice for the Now called Dual View or Cascade View.
The Videos I watched all showed the dual view icon on the top ba,r not hidden in the pop up bottom bar far left hand corner, and to be honest when viewing videos to me anyway looked like two different features.
Thanks again for your help, the videos on Youtube all seem to be from 2 months ago ie not UK version.

The upside down v, (multi screen app tray) has always been on the note....even in ICS. But you quire rightly noticed that the multi screen icon in full screen apps has changed, and moved to the far right in the latest firmware. So basically all the apps that have the multi screen functionality can be accessed from the pop up tray at the bottom of any screen, that will open them in a small window that can be moved and resized. Then you can change it back and forth to full screen or small window as you wish using the icon on the top right actually in the app.
The 'dual view/cascade view' option on the bottom right of the multi screen app tray you talk about was not in the older firmware at all......you just opened a multiscreen app from the multiscreen app tray (upside down v), and then changed to full screen or dual view from within the app. I can understand why it was confusing.

Just to confirm my confusion every time I selected the multi screen icon it would just reduce in size (small and float about) not like I saw in the Youtube Videos ie snap into place half screen. So when I found the cascade/dual view icon (bottom left hand corner The upside down v, multi screen app tray) set it to dual view foolishly thinking that was correct! NO. Then I changed it to Cascade view but showing the matching two box overlay icon. YES.
Confusion Rules OK
Thanks Again.
Oh well. At least now you know you were watching Notes with old firmware and outdated features. Your firmware version with Dual view AND cascade view is sooo much better.
Here's an overview of what you can do with the multi view apps.....if you haven't already found a video ........ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FOmb-9bI6s&feature=youtube_gdata_player.

I just got my note 10.1 and upgraded to JB. I'm loving it so far. But I have a couple questions.
1. for my work I really love grabbing a piece of a PDF and driving it over to s note. Is there some way to default to a square crop rather than the lasso? It would look better. Currently I have to save a screenshot and crop that.
2. a lot of the documentation for the note 2 says to hold the back button to pick apps for multi screen. Holding the back button does nothing on the note 10.1. Is that correct?
3. when you use multi screen apps, is there some way to have them automatically go side by side? Mine always appear in a small window and I have to stretch them out to the right size manually. Is that just the only way it works?
I already read the note 2 documentation. Is there some other place I can look for a better explanation of how to use all the features? Thanks for the help.
I don't know about the first two (holding the back button does nothing for me) but if you want them side by side select dual view in the multiwindow app selector and they'll spear like that automatically

Super helpful. I don't know how I missed that. Thanks so much.
Some fantastic news, today, by chance I realised that Air View works with Google Chrome while the air view toggle was off. I tried several times and it works fine but after a while stopped working so I restarted the phone and the hovering feature was still there.
This feature is relay useful specially in those websites with lots of menus where you can open them without touching the screen and redirecting to other pages as if your mouse pointer is hovering on a link or menu in your PC. You may give it a try in websites like tesco with lots of menus and sub menus.
Sounds like Google is working on some new features for its future phones.
Just note that my phone is a stock with the messy MH8 firmware and I turned off airview and air gesture and restarted the device, then it started working.
I wish you can experience this cool thing, if not so. don't blame me, just ask for a clip or something

What is the version? I tried on mine ... didn't seem to work ... and using air view as demonstrated in the video is most useful ... in fact when i first read about the air view, i thought that would be the most useful implementation of it in a browser which apparently took a year to happen ...

Instead go to pen setting and enable it from there .
Now it worked for me in chrome ,and in the notifications you can hover to see a message like Whatsapp

Air view is working in Chrome for me again I've noticed. It did once before but as soon as I went into the air view settings page it stopped. Also air view is working in the launcher as well? Hovering over a folder expands the icons a bit around the icon similar to when using a mouse and putting the pointer over it.
I used the multimedia dock recently with a USB keyboard and mouse, and I think that's when it started again! So there could also be a link between using a mouse and then air view afterwards!?
Seems to be working in all sorts of apps. WhatsApp, outlook.com. Its like I've got an invisible mouse pointer that's being controlled by air view.
Edit: just tried out Microsofts RD client and I can indeed move the pointer about on the windows desktop just by hovering over the screen. (it's a bit difficult to control though!)

I think maybe what some1 here is experiencing is just a normal touch click, because the screen of S4 is over sensitive, you may click on something even when you aren't touching the screen at all... so you hover over the screen, the screen recognizes a touch but for a very short time so some tabs or lists on websites may open, I can do it with touching too, just touch, and slide away from the list, it opens.
Well I used the dock again and now it's stopped again it's definitely not the over sensitive nature of the screen as you say, in my case.

Google / Chrome devs acknowledge this, and say the feature will be back. Really annoying, as we factored it into a solution - i.e., build a proof of concept as a web app, and run it in fullscreen app mode on the phone and tablets. Incredibly disappointing that they handled it this way. There's also an experimental flag you can set to supposedly re-enable it (type Chrome://flags in URL bar, and scroll down till you see the option to enable it). Seems to work on ICS, but not on JB or KK (at least on my devices). Horribly disappointed.

Wish I knew. It was a mistake relying on a beta feature, but this was so good that we already adopted it for use in a product mockup / wireframe demo. Looked perfect on Android phones and tablets in Chrome...A real web app. Now...not so much.
