I noticed that a lot of folks do not like that screen capture button. As I was running through the settings, I noticed that you can turn it off in settings, screen, quick launch. You can make the button do something else there. Now if someone can figure out a way to make the icons smaller on the stock browser I'd be set.

I think the option to change it is new to KL1.
Yeah, don't see any such option in Screen shipped OS version.
I am on KL3. I didn't like kk1 because it made it even harder to write to the external sd

I was able to change it in KK3, not sure about earlier firmwares.
Not sure if can turn off but you can assign it do another function goto settings-screen-quick launch
Ok this is starting to drive me mad. I have 3 phones, a Note Edge, a Note 3, and a Note 2. On the browser "Internet" on all three, when you hover over items that react to a mouse (like a menu) using the S Pen, it reacts as it should, as if you were using a mouse. Now Google Chrome on the other hand (and this is what's starting to drive me mad) does this ONLY on the Note 2. It functions EXACTLY the same as the stock browser in regards to the hover/mouse behavior. Yet, neither my Note 3 nor my Note Edge will do this. WHY? I've replicated all settings, and checked the versions of Chrome installed. Everything is the same but the phone. So why will the newer phones not do this? And most importantly, HOW can I get Chrome on my Note 3 and Note Edge copy this behavior? The ONLY reason I go back to the stock browser is for this function. Everything else I use (bookmarks, etc.) is in Chrome. I've looked all over and can't find a solution. Any ideas?
Updates:
1) psolem below reports the mouseover feature working properly in Chrome on the Verizon Note edge. What's the difference here? It be really nice if we could get someone experienced to dig into how this function is triggered.
2) I haven't been here in a bit (kinda gave up hope) but this morning I realized that at some point between now and my last being here, I've broken mouseover on the stock browser as well. Like I said before, if someone who knows a bit more about the inner workings of touchwiz could chime in, that'd be great.
3) I used an app called hiddenapp launcher (activity launcher was crashing every time it tried to load the full list for some reason) to launch (thus may not apply to everyone but I had to hold on each entry to load the shortcut to the home screen first. Then after each shortcut was made the app would crash so I'd open it again and repeat) about 6 different versions of air view it had listed. One of them contained what appeared to be some mouseover related settings but toggling any of them didn't do anything. The last one oddly was the only one that wouldn't open for me (crashed every time I tried to open it). I'm wondering if maybe there's some settings there that aren't accessible on my phone for some reason? Maybe someone who has mouseover working properly could try?
4) I just backed up and factory reset my phone. Mouseover now works in both Chrome and Stock, suggesting something I added is interfering or something I changed broke it. Any ideas what this could be?

I've been searching all over the internet regarding this, and I'm so sick of hearing people call this Air View. This has nothing to do with Air View. This works when Air View is off. And because everyone is calling this Air View, I get a million irrelevant results every time I search. So let's all just stop calling this Air View. Agreed? Awesome, thanks.)

Any ideas?

I would like to try this on my Verizon Note Edge.
Can you provide a specific example to illustrate what you are describing?
Perhaps a specific website where this happens, and which link you were hovering over?
Maybe a screenshot from the Note 2 (working properly) and another from the other devices (not working properly).
When you say "...items that react to a mouse (like a menu) ...", you mean like the drop down navigation menus? Like Frys dot com website when you hover the mouse over the top left red button "Cool Stuff We Sell" a menu drops down without having to click anything or another example weather dot com website when you hover over top left button "Forecast" a menu is exposed without having to click anything. On my Edge, using the S Pen, with both browser choices you mentioned, the menu on the frys webpage will drop down automatically when I hover the pen over it, the menu on weather.com will not drop down unless I click it.
Another thing I notice is the stock browser ("Internet") seems to change the S Pen pointer into a hand with a pointer finger when hovering over a link, similiar to a PC mouse hovering over a link. The Chrome browser did not seem to change the S Pen on-screen pointer to indicate there was a link being hovered over. In fact, Using the Chrome browser, there was no indication the S Pen was hovering over anything to interact with.

Yes that's exactly what I'm talking about. But you get a reaction using Chrome as well as the stock browser? On the Note Edge? I'm not really concerned about what the printer looks like, but yes, it does change to an hand over links. My main concern is that the mouse hovering actions for me work ONLY on the stock browser on the Note 3/Edge and not on Chrome, but on the Note 2, it does work in Chrome, as well as in the stock browser.
Basically: Chrome + S Pen only works on the Note 2. But why? It's the exact same version of chrome on each. One thing I noticed though in app info is that the Note 2 installation of Chrome was larger by a megabyte or so.

Can you screenshot this working in Chrome on your note edge? Gimme a moment and I'll add my screenshots of Chrome/Stock on frys.
Edit: The first pic shows the screen when I'm hovering over chrome (on top), and the second screen shows hovering over "Internet" (below). Incidentally, that custom hand icon appears to show up in screenshots while the default circle pointer does not.
Sorry for the delay In response.
The drop down menu via the s pen seems to work for me in both chrome and Internet browsers on this note edge.
The first screen shot is chrome, the second is Internet.
Chrome 40.0.2214.109
Android 4.4.4
Verizon Note Edge SM-N915V
Sorry I never got back. Could you send me a copy of your floating_feature.xml? Think it might be related.
Actually I don't think it's that. Ignore what I said. But check out the first post. I added some updates there.
New update:
I just backed up and factory reset my phone. Mouseover now works in both Chrome and Stock, suggesting something I added is interfering or something I changed broke it. Any ideas what this could be?
I narrowed it down some more. The issue is due to the data of one of my system apps. Still have no idea which though.
The other day I softbricked my phone and spent hours trying to get it back. I was lucky enough to get back using Smart Switch to restore firmware, but it installed 5.1.1. Whatever, I'm living without root.
However, I noticed since then that I can no longer double tap on a word to select it. I have to long press on a word to highlight it. Anyone else experience this? Kind of annoying. I was so used to the double tap.
Finally, someone else noticed. I noticed the same thing. Ever since I updated to 5.1.1 on my s6, double tap to highlight is completely gone. Very annoying

What both of you mean? I have the 5.0.2 version and when I double tap some text it just zooming in, where does it highlight something?
When you're texting for example. Double tap any word you entered, and it will highlight and allow you to copy it or remove it.

This. Sorry, I should've clarified that I meant when you're typing. Not just any text.
Yep, annoying as hell.
On a good note, though, now you can long press to highlight the word and then just swipe the new word and it replaces it. Prior to 5.1.1 it would not replace it with the new word, it would only grab letters from the new word that were not in the previous word and replace it with those letters, which was even more annoying and made absolutely no sense.

Oh, actually I use long press to highlight something, not double tap.
has anyone had any progress or a workaround for this issue? It's killing me - I've used this feature for years.
Swype's website still says that double tapping a word should select it. I tried other keyboards and none of them allowed me to double-tap select anything but I do not know if they supported double-tap select before the update. I'm also curious whether this applies to all devices or just Galaxy S6.
Pretty annoying.

We're talking about the stock Samsung keyboard.. which is not Swype. So what Swype says, doesn't matter lol

Obviously the problem is bigger than just the Samsung keyboard. Samsung's site doesn't say anything about double-tapping to select text whereas Swype does mention it. So, what Swype says is very relevant to this conversation because it proves that the problem is not with the keyboards, it's with Android. lol

Wish they hadn't changed it. double-tap is faster (to me) than long-press.
At least I've got a workaround.

Don't know if you have this issue fixed, but it happens the same here with Note 4. Very annoying indeed.
Well, it works for me, both with Samsung's keyboard and SwiftKey.

Left Samsung after Note 2 and came back to the S9 and yeah, it's annoying... My Android/Huawei phone didn't have this problem.
This is driving me crazy & I can't believe there's no fixes online! Upgrading from my Galaxy S3 of 3yrs to a GS7, so Kitkat to Oreo, & just whyyy did they nix the "double tap to select text typed"?? Siighh.. ;(
There MUST be a way to re-enable it..
Yeah, it's 2021 already yet Samsung still hasn't managed to fix a bug it introduced (many!) years ago.
If Samsung doesn't really know how Android works, we can only hope our devices don't just blow up one day as a result of Samsung's pure reliance on trial and error.
To be clear, it is stated by Android spec that while in a text field, upon a double-tap a word gets selected; hence current behavior is called a bug as the functionality is simply not there
Friends, Android user of 10 years. Never seen this issue, EVER. Came over from an Axon 7 yesterday. Here's the situation.
Mate 9 US Version B138
Not Rooted or altered AT ALL
Unknown sources is checked in Security
Developer Options enabled
No screen dimmer apps
Blue Eye filter disabled and enabled when this happened
Basically, when trying to install some apps via a File Manager, not the Play Store, some apps are installing like any other would, while others are not letting me click the "Next" button during the installation process. No errors, no other indicators of why? "Cancel" button works fine. While some other APKs even the "Next" button works and everything installs fine.
Like I said... I have never ever seen this weird issue before. The closest was when I had a non root blue light filter app on and the "Install" button wouldn't work, no errors, no other indicators.
Can someone please help? Have you seen this issue before?
Thanks!
Anyone? Thanks guys!

Touch screen sensitivity issue? It happens sometimes, sometimes I think my device is frozen because my tap is not registered several times in a row...

Thanks brother, but that wasn't it...
[SOLVED]
For anyone else who may face this issue, here's the solution:
It's similar to the screen dimmer/blue light filter issue. Basically, I was using a custom theme that was skinning the Package Installer. Somehow, the system must have seen this as "drawing" over the application and therefore disabled any app installations. That still does not explain why some APKs were installing, but this is good enough. The fix is to revert to stock theme and install your APK then.
Thanks to anyone that tried to help!
I had the same problem with a theme yesterday - went back to stock because of it. Kind of annoying

I hear ya bud! Even scarier, this issue is not documented anywhere, hope this post helps others! Have you seen this issue with EVERY theme?
Thanks for your input!
I have been having trouble finding themes I like - I like dark themes but then they look terrible in the email app (everything dark except the email body is colored or white which looks bad). Finally found the BWM black & white theme I liked and that had the installer problem. For now, back to stock.
Is it possible that those failed apps needed much more free space on your mobile?
This issue actually occurs if you have any screen filter apps installed in your device. Some apps that are known to cause the apk file installation problem include Twilight, Screen Adjuster, Easy Eye, Darker and Blue Light Filter.
In addition, any persistant overlay may prevent usage of the "install" or "next" button when installing an app from the SD card. Chat heads, floating battery stats, etc are all possible culprits.
This is a safety built into android to prevent an app from popping up an overlay over the required permissions list and showing a "safe" list of required permissions on top of the real list of persmissions that allow it to read your texts, pick your wallet, and root around in your underwear drawer.

Hey James, thanks for your thoughtful responses. No I definitely have a lot of space, and to your point, this problem is famously known with other phones and with the "Install" button. But two things make it unique:
1. Huawei calls their install button "Next" so this is hard to find a Google solution to.
2. I don't have any of those apps you mentioned, otherwise I would have solved that issue right away. The culprit here was a theme an .hwt file... So that's why I was struggling to find an answer...
Thanks again!

Another clue for your reference.
As I know, Huawei mate 8 has a feature which is some like those "Bluelight Filter for Eye Care" apps.
Settings - Display - SCREEN - Eye confort.
So, is there this stock blue light filter feature on your phone? If yes, is it possible that the issue resulted from this feature enabling?

Yes it exists in the Mate 9 James, and of course I disabled or turned it off... The problem was still there... It's the themes, some of them fool the system into thinking a screen drawing is enabled to it doesn't allow for installation. Strangely, my current custom theme is allowing for installation... :-\
I'm having similar issues. The apps I can't get to install are; Anything from Amazon App store underground app. mSecure app, and various others.
2nd: Phone will NOT pair with external Camera that I have...HTC Re-Cam, or LG 360 Camera.

I think I solved the issue today.
Using stock theme app, apply the stock EMUI theme. Reboot phone, than try to install applications.
My thoughts:... any non-stock theme being used/applied creates an overlay. So when the "next" button isn't responding (when the next button is at the top of install screen), it's cause the real button is located on the bottom right.

Hi, I just finish the Note 20 Ultra configuration, but there are some shadows zones....
Sorry for the lenght of the message, but I really don't know where I can ask these questions and I know here is the best place to do it.
First of all, the S-Pen.
I'm used to Samsung's Note line. My last Smartphone was a Note 9, and all worked perfectly.
This time, with the S-pen, I wanted to do things such as write an express note when the screen is off. I can't . I tested all the settings, unfortunately I only managed to get the express note screen once. Since then, aod or not, when I remove the s-pen, nothing happens. Same thing, when I press on the s-pen button and try to 'touch' 2 times the screen, I see the "Create a note" button, but same : nothing happens when I touch it.
Even with all the settings activated/deactivated, all I tried, nothing happens.
LED notifications and apps that do't work correctly
I was affraid to see that this phone don't have a LED for the notifications, at least, not natively.
I tried 2 or 3 apps, especially aodNotify, but none worked correctly. I found one that is almost ok, "LED Me Know", but I wish I use the aodNotify app. Don't know why it doesn't want to work with me.
Third thing : Good Lock and change side of the clock on the status bar.
May be it's because I'm in France, but this app is not on the Galaxy store, and when I download it manually and install it, it tells me "Sorry, we encountered a server or network error..."... And I can't use it. At all.
Is it a region thing ? Or may be an Exynos thing ?
I also wanted to root the phone : impossible for know apparently, same for any Theme making app lile #Hex_ or #Hexed_...
I can't even replace the clock in the right side like I always do.
I had a custom rom on my Note 9 (Ultimate Rom), and I could do it simply.
Now, the only method that seems working is using Good Lock, then download 'Quick Star panel' (something like that) and change the side of the clock. Cannot do. ?
I hope all my little issues are just due to the fact that Android 10 and this phone are brand new, and we just have to wait a bit to do all these things, to root it simply, install Custom roms etc etc are easy to do....
Otherwise I'm the one who has a big problem...
Ok. Basically, thank you for reading my novel ?
I hope someone would have the courage to help me or reassure me on these few things....
Thank you, take care, bye
