Hi, i had adrenaline engine on the phone and decided to get rid of it. i did that and now there is a white circle that appears on my phone and acts like a mouse. the only part of the phone registering touch is where ever this circle is. to use the phone I've had to move the pointer like an actual mouse and double tap the screen to open the apps. Anyone know how to get rid of this.
thanks
Check in 'developer options', there should be 'show touches'(it's in ''INPUT"). If this don't do the trick, it's from some app, so check out what have you installed lately

how are people using the quick menu with the track pad.two ouches brings up the quick menu option brings up the mnu but i cant access it as soon as you remove a touch it disappears

Do you mean tap-and-hold context menu, or menu in top right corner, or what?
(though all of those work fine for me w/dock)
I mean the quick menu when you touch side of screen and get the half moon menu

i don't have the dock but I assume it is the same as without. You slide your finger over what ever function you want. Ex back button... it will highlight blue than release your finger and it will register.
Hope that helps
You move your cursor to the screen edge and do a hard click, the quick menu will appear just like you touch the screen edge.
Hope that helps
Its not exactly far to reach out and grab it though.. I actually think its kinda nice having a netbook form factor with a touch screen.. I'm gonna look weird at work when I use my normal laptop and try accessing stuff by touching its screen after this
So my Asus has an option where you can lock the bottom bar so you don't accidentally open the setting menu or press back during games/movies.
I want something similar for my Note10 as when using S-note my palm sometimes sits on the bar and opens the menu which is very annoying! This isn't a palm detection issue within the S-note app it's just a general Android tablet issue.
Anyone got any ideas?
Acctually, when your s-pen is hovering on your screen, your screen is automatically locked from your hand touch
correct me if I'm wrong
Dam you're right. I guess the issue happens when I lift the pen too high and still lean on it. Might need to adjust my writing style.

You can use air view pointer as indicator is your pen too high or not..

I have hyperdrive installed on my S3, it has this side menu that looks like a little sticker on the side of my screen, and when I swipe it to the right a vertical menu along the left side appears that shows all my applications. I don't know what the menu is called, but I don't use it and want to disable it - the sticker is always there, even when watching netflix, for example, so I just want it gone. Thanks!
That is multi window. Go into settings>display> disable multi window. Or you can hold back button to turn off the icon but keep it enabled.
Not to sound mean, but it's funny seen people buy phones that don't even know what features it has lol
I showed my friend that you can swipe across the screen for a screenshot, and they weren't even aware the s3 can do that lol

I've googled it and got nothing.
Search this forum and not found it either
On Windows 8, if I scroll my mouse to the left/ left corner of the screen, I can see my current apps.
I can then close them.
With my keyboard connected I can do this on my surface using trackpad.
How do I do it without my keyboard connected?
I don't want to swipe them in, I want to see the icons of the apps I have running so I can close them.

you have to swipe in from the left a short distance. I don't own a windows touch device but did get a go on a display model, was kinda fiddly to get the distance just right, was probably about half the distance you need to swipe to switch apps. With some practise you should be able to nail it.

There's two behaviours for a short swipe in from the left. I believe the default one is to "swipe in" the last used app. Whereas what you want is to see a list of currently running apps (me too).
Go Settings>Change PC Settings and you're looking for a setting something like "App Switching">"When I swipe in from the left edge, switch between my recent apps instead of showing a list of them". In 8.1 that setting is under PC & devices, I can't recall if it's the same in 8.
The default way to do what you're asking is to swipe in from the left edge, then swipe back to the edge without releasing the swipe. It's a very quick and easy gesture easily made with the thumb; you don't have to swipe in more than maybe 1/4 of an inch (6mm) before swiping off the screen again to get he app switcher sidebar to appear.
To close the apps using touch only, you can do the following:
Drag the app from the sidebar off the bottom of the screen.
thanks, that's great.
Hello. So i made the switch to the S10e and i've been running into this issue where if i accidentally hold my phone with my finger just touching the selfie camera (or any part of the status/notification bar at the top of the screen), any and all other touch inputs just get disabled.
Any solutions to this? I assume Android thinks i'm going to pull it down and disables every other touch or something, but is there an option not to do that but still keep the draggable status bar? This also happens in all apps and the home screen/apps etc. no matter the screen.
Activating Show Taps in developer shows that the OS DOES see both my taps, the status bar and anything else, just that the software-side blocks other inputs once that initial status bar touch is seen and still active. It does NOT happen with the back/home/apps bar or generally anywhere else. I have tried making sure Nova launcher isn't doing anything. Tried Accidental touch protection On and Off and a host of other settings. Confirmed this is a status bar issue with hiding it in Samsung Internet and repeating the test.
Tried EdgeTouch with NiceLock but it only really helps for the sides which aren't really my issue.
Rarely this sometimes happens with stuff on screen too in the OS itself and in apps. Usually it's with triggering a function like holding the phone with touching the left hand of the screen and accidentally 'dragging' a menu' into view a few pixels, and then that disables all other input until it's gone. But that's fine since it's very rare. It's more more often than the status/notification bar is my main issue.

Do you use a case? That's what help'd me with accidental screen touches. An "ultra slim" case was all it took for me. Hope you find what works for you.
I am really against cases, as i really want a compact fone, and there are extremely few which get launched with AMOLED nowdays. I'd rather solve this via software.
