[Q] Lost email full landscape with gingerbread

since upgrading to gingerbread, when i turn phone to landscape in email, the folder list remains on the left side and the email i'm reading is on the right. With Froyo, the folder list was not there, providing full landscape for the email itself. what, if anything, am i doing wrong?

do you use the Gmail app or the regular Email app? I use Gmail and I get full landscape.

That's just how the email app works in GB.

I've noticed a bug in the Gmail app in that if you go in to landscape mode before opening an email, it doesn't observe the setting to disable the top context menu to get a near full-screen effect. If you back out of the email, go in to vertical mode and open the email and *then* go in to landscape mode, it works.
Is that what you're referring to?

when you are in the email app. hit the menu button. then go to acct settings and the very last setting should say split view mode and just uncheck that and it will hide the email list and only show the current one you are looking at.
Hope this helped

Thank You Deputy13!!!

Chrome copy/paste

How do I copy past url addresses from chrome to things like email / sms? I tried to long press the Web link in the address bar but all that does is zoom in on a specific word.
Any ideas?

Double-tap the text? That seems to work for me...

i faced with the same trouble
the solution is double tap, but u have to move finger down in second tap. So tap - tap+down.
Not the best thing after moving from ios.
still have no clue how to copy text in playstore

Ah I think I've got it. Try triple tapping the text

Kind of a triple tapping but the logic behind it is that the first tap is to get focus (just move to the text area) and then the double tap will bring you the options to copy-cut-paste.

Nope. I cant select text using double tap. Not even after focusing.

It's mostly system wide (email, sms, etc). Tap to focus, doubletap to select all. Move sliders to select what you want

Weird that it doesn't work for you. I was puzzled by inconsistent results over the last few days but clicking once to select the URL in chrome, then double clicking (without moving) brings up the two markers and the usual options at the top of the screen every time. It's annoying that you can't copy text from the Play Store, though. Why can't I copy text from every app, always, in exactly the same way? With the power of Android/the Z3 it should really be possible to copy text from images, not struggle with this basic stuff which has worked on Windows for 20+ years!

As i mentioned earlier, i have to tap+(tap+down). Strange behavior. My device is z3 compact, maybe, that is the point ?)
In a fact, my colleague with Samsung on 4.1.2 cant copy text from Play Store too

double tapped worked for me, thank goodness for this thread I was freaking out big time.

-Clickable locations (see on a map)
-Pick a location to watch

Hi @Flyview cool concept. You asked for feedback. I think you should allow the transitions to be slower 2 seconds is to fast.

I don't really understand the seconds of the transition is it random ?
You might want to show a small overlay as a tutorial on first start I found the one tap to pause which is nice and the two tap to like, but I liked a picture without knowing what the 2 tap would do and I don't know which one it was
I'd like a go back feature too, if you see a picture and right when it disappears you notice something but you can't go back, so just a see previous like a swipe right.
Living in Paris I learned with your app that most pictures on instagram are of the Eiffel tower

Getting a blank screen many times.

It will show a new picture whenever there is a new one available (up to minimum of every second), this will be configurable. I have to think of a good way to show previous pictures. I was thinking the old ones would become scrollable below but if someone new comes to the app they may think it's like Instagram where the point is to scroll down. And yes, intro overlay should be added as well. That's awesome about Paris haha!

good idea, but this is what I get right after connecting. no access to anything!
btw does it work with gps only or can it localise based on network?

Hmmm that's not good. Do you have Google apps installed? What's your Android OS and ROM? It'll work with whatever location provider is available, GPS is not necessary.

Do you mean "Google apps device policy"? no
I run 4.4.2 on Asus A86 device

@Flyview nice app i have few suggestions
1. Ability to select the distance range for nearby pictures
2. Ability to click the user of the pic uploader, which takes directly to their profile so that we can follow them.
3. Custom picture refresh time.
4. Add an overlay which has buttons to Pause/Play Previous/Next buttons.

tried uninstall, reinstall and login.
there is an error warning warning telling me i have to enable cookies in my browser, or disable private mode? then this blank screen all the time. only way to reach login page is uninstall/reinstall

Oh ok that makes sense then. You need to enable cookies in Chrome (or whatever browser the Instagram login page is using). Otherwise LivePics can't log you in to your Instagram account.

well i checked and cookies are enabled in every browser installed: default, chrome, firefox, opera. not sure witch one instagram is using. will dig deeper in settings.

Same problem, I only get a white screen. Running KiKat on a stock TMobile Note 3. Tried clearing data. Hangs on login screen usually, then it will give the login/cookies error message. If I get past that, back to white screen. Tried uninstalling, then reinstalling - same results.

So do you ever see the screen where you enter username/password for instagram or does the message come before that? A screenshot would be great!

error message appear after login. then blank screen.

[Q] Deleting photos in Gallery

Now that Samsung in their INFINITE wisdom has taken out the menu button. Can someone confirm to me how to delete photos directly from Gallery? No.. not from File Manager or 3rd party software. Just the standard Gallery App that came default. If I wanted to go through my pictures and delete certain ones, then how? I can hold down on some pics and tag/select. There is a SHARE button on there but nothing else. No editing, No rotate option, no print, no move options. NOTHING.
REALLY unhappy about this.
Please help..

When you tap and hold on the picture, above it shows three options SHARE, DELETE, MORE.
Also if you just tap and open the picture, on the bottom it shows more options as well.

This did not work. The only option I have is to share-not to delete. Very frustrating. Anybody know how??

What changes have you made to your phone. I never use the regular gallery but it is easy to use

What have you done to your phone since getting it? ROOT? Custom ROM? IF neither i'd factory reset as all those options are available on a normal S6. You can press delete on the little icon on the bottom of the picture or you can hold down on a pic and the delete option comes up.

Simply change the category top left from categories to anything else and your issue will be resolved. Not sure why delete is not an option when you are on categories.

Same problem here!!
And you press on Help, it says to tap on "delete" even though they should no there's no Delete!!! Only Favorite, Share and Editor....Very frustrating!

Do this
Close gallery then Access gallery from camera. Select camera. Then tap bottom right icon. Select album. Or gallery I think. All photos there with delete option

Deleting from Samsung Galaxy S6
Go to Gallery
In the top left hand corner it gives you options to change your gallery display to time, albums, events or categories
Tap Time
Then tap the image you want to delete
then tap the screen
there should be 4 icons on the bottom the fourth one should be delete.

Thanks! Changing from "Categories" to "Time" allowed me to delete the photos. When I was under "Categories", the delete option would not appear.

Found a solution
Go to setting. Application manager gallery clear cache force stop. It should go back to being able to delete photos.

Go to settings , storage, used space then select pictures and videos. Make sure you open with photos as you get all images. Have fun deleting

This really worked for me! I changed the Category to like ALBUMS and I was able to delete an image, Yay!!Thank you!

Stripped from the Note 4

This a thread to compile a list of things that we noticed were stripped from the Note 4 in the Note 5. We already know about the big things like removeable battery and SD and ir blaster... if you find something include a work around if you know of one.... I've noticed the removed continuous scroll on TouchWiz as well as hiding apps from TouchWiz launcher. They also removed the "Samsung cloud" which has been present since the Note 2 that allowed my Facebook and Dropbox photos to appear in my gallery..... please if anyone knows how to activate that feature please tell me!! Add more below

This may be a software issue (5.01 to 5.11) but I can not find the MULTI WINDOW ON/OFF switch. Not where it is on note 4
Charlie

Cant figure out how to hide apps, folders, pics, turn off notifications for certain apps. Also coming from a note 3, the button to the left of the home key used to be a settings button now it only brings up open windows. I do not like this at all... need some serious help here.
---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 PM ----------
Update found out how to turn notifications on certain apps off... it is now a little tiny check box at the top in applications manager instead of a big giant button at the bottom. Still need to figure out how to hide apps and photos.

Yea they replaced the menu key with thenmulti window key on the note 4 you'll get used to it shortly... And another way to turn notifications off is if you hold your finger on it some options will come up.

Worth noting: On the Note4, you can still access the menu by holding down the recent programs soft key for a couple seconds. On the Note5, you can do it by holding down the back soft key. Holding down recents will give you easy access to split screen view.

I noticed this, as well, but I think this is an "upgrade" as the "100s" of toggles were too many before. I have also noticed that there are less entries in the menu, making it simpler looking and easier to navigate/find stuff. It doesn't always necessarily mean options were removed, but just put into a different place. I think overall, this is a good thing because it makes navigating and using the menus much easier and faster.
Among other things, I did notice in S-Note the ability to transcribe handwriting into text is gone. I noticed this even though I don't use it much, so it isn't a huge loss. I think most of the missing items on this phone are mostly not necessary and were rarely ever used, so it seems like it's basically a good thing.
I do wish they didn't remove the ability to disable the Flipboard screen on the stock launcher. Now, the only way to get rid of it even after disabling the Flipboard app is the install a 3rd party launcher. That is my only complaint, but I rarely ever use the stock launcher anyway, so it's not really a huge issue for me.
So far this phone is F***ing sick!

Predictive Emoji is gone..at least on mine

You can disable the flipboard page just hold your finger down on the home screen and then scroll to the flipboard page and you'll see a check mark, just uncheck it. Is that what you're talking about? Hope this helps

Wow! Thanks so much!
That's what I was taking about. They simplified everything so it's not so cluttered, but in some cases it makes things harder to find.
That is what I was looking for. I didn't even notice the check mark before. Thanks, again.

As someone who shoots lots of photography. I noticed they have removed the Black and White setting from the camera. It has been replaced with a terrible filter called "Monogram". I have searched through all the menus and even the "downloads" section. NOTHING! I honestly can't believe it. Like WHY? I prefer shooting in B&W. Like at least let me download it. WTH?!

If you have a backup of all your apps using titanium backup or another similar app
you can get that black/white filter file from there.
Or you can even get it from the twrp flashable zipfile which you used to flashed
your rom with.
It's in the same location in the zip file as all the other camera filter files.
(it's either in system/apps or in the system/priv-apps folder.)
Once you extract the b/w filter file copy it into the same location where all the other
filter files are located in your note 5, who knows you just might luck out and it might
work for you.
The filter files don't require flashing or even installing
so there's really a good chance that it will work for you.
To play safe, be sure to fix the attributes for the b/w filter
file to match all the other filter files attributes after copying.
Good luck,
Have a great day!

I've noticed that Google Play Music no longer puts the album art on your lockscreen when you're listening to music. Frankly I'm kinda pissed about this because I really liked it.

S-Note doesn't allow you to change the default notes view. I used to change it to "list view" instead of the default "tile" view. Now I can only see it in"tile"view.
