i hate that annoying action bar .... - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys.
Just bought a galaxy note 10.1.
I need your advice how YOU handle your device. I do have some troubles.
1. You know the palm rejection thing on the right corner in s note? Its driving me nuts.
Because everytime I write I accidently touch it and palm rejection is disabled. What do you do to avoid it?
2. The black action/status bar on the bottom of the screen seems to be always there. It is so annoying while watching a movie or playing
Games... Anyway to hide it when not used. ?Or is there a way to put it on top?
Thanks

I dont use S-note so I dont know about that but I use GMD gesture control to hide the system status bar and GMD s-pen control to disable finger touch input all together.
I use lecturenotes to take notes w/ the pen and prefer fullscreen use along w/ no palm interference. Hope that helps.

Yeah. GMD S Pen control for disabling finger touch and GMD Gesture control for removing the status bar. Perfect combination.

If first put the pen near the screen your hand doesn't work. So first use your pen then set your hand on screen!

[Q] App/Mod to lock the bottom system bar?

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..

You need to enable palm rejection in system setting, not s-note settings

I totally agree, mutlitasking bar and even more the Quikpanel popping out very very often are very very annoying.
Multitasking bar keeps coming even with no apps in it, what's the point of this bar anyway as you get a button that brings you all the openned apps at the bottom left of the screen.
But what bothers me most is the Quick Panel, drives me crazy !
Sure, there's palm rejection, but when thinking of what to write next, I don't think of keeping the pen close enough to the screen and bam the quikpanel pops up, hate it.
I love this tablet, it's fantastic, handwriting to text is amazing,
but why on earth did they put the quick panel on the bottom right right where 90% users put their writing hand,
Menues have allways been on the left in Windows, MacOs, in all softwares, why change ??!!
Can't it be deactivated ?
Lefties are lucky.

Thanks buddy, at least some one shares the same concern, I am surprised that no responses from the expert developers so far on this forum. I wish they can reach this to the Samsung guys......and before that help to come up with a work around.
Use GMD s-pen control. You can enable palm rejection from there.

app or option thet detects s pen proximity (like airview)

I've not been using the S-Pen the way i thought i would. The reason for it is because i often have problems that my palm accidently touched the notification bar or that my hand triggers a gesture set in GMD Gesturecontrol.
So what i'm looking for is a way for the device to register if the s-pen is near the screen and then deactivate gestures or even go full screen so i can't hit the notificationbar.
Has anyone found a App that can do something like that.
I know there are Apps that give a trigger for when the s-pen is detached, but i'm often holding the pen and still use my fingers for pressing buttons, so i'm not looking for that.

i thought that the Note 10.1 itself disable finger touchs when the s-pen is near the screen, isn't it @@
I thought so too, however, when holding the pen near the screen gestures still work.

Capacitive keys sensitivity

Hey guys, I'm finding it really annoying that sometimes when typing part of my palm hits the corner of the phone which brings up the multi task window. Is there a way to reduce the sensitivity of the keys?
It would of been good if they only work when hitting the centre of them and not the edge of the phone.

As far as I know, there is no way to do it yet. Most likely will be possible with custom kernels though.
Very annoying. I have the same issue when typing in landscape mode or gaming. Very hard to have a secure and comfortable hold of the device and not unintentionaly tap the buttons.

Remove nav bar pop up during fullscreen game

So I mainly use shield tablet for world of tanks blitz. Love the tablet and how it performs with only one issue.
When I'm holding the tablet in landscape, my fingers will swipe close to the edge of the screen and activate the navigation bar to pop up.
I would like to be able to completely disable that bar to pop up and maybe like install a pie control to pop up on specific areas of the screen. Yes I'm rooted.
Any suggestions are appreciated and will be tried. Thanks guys.
Attached is a screenshot with how the bar looks like on top of the game.
