I liked how it used to be by pressing and holding the back button to bring up the multi window side panel. I can't seem to find anyway to bring it up. Please don't tell me using the recents button is the only way. I liked how on the note 4 you could just press one of the multi window apps and it would open up as a pop up.

Never understood why Samsung still restricts certain apps from being used in multi windows. Back in the days, I would have to root to be able to use whatever app for MW.
With the app open, I just swipe from the very top left corner to the middle and it opens up pop up.
I haven't seen any other way to get the actual split screen though

You can open multi window three ways.
First you need to have a multi-window / split screen
compatible app open then swipe:
#1: recents long press (split screen)
#2: diagonally top left towards right bottom of screen
#3: diagonally top right towards the left bottom of screen
Good luck,
Have a great day!

I have a Note N8013 and the only use for the S-Pen that I know of is hold it down and it'll take a screen shot. Can someone please let me know if there are other uses for the button besides that?
In the app quill, you press the button and then you can delete something you wrote.
that's pretty cool.. I never really check out that app yet. Need to go install it and check it out.
Also if u tap the home screen twice it brings the s note. Another one is tap the screen on the right and slide it left on the browser and goes back to an earlier page. Prety sure that it has more functions.

Cool! Thanks for that tip! Always find it funny why such functionalities are kept non disclosed. But it's fun to discover them like. Almost like small bits of treasures.
the whole GALAXY to NOTE about...counting down from 10 to 1.
Thanks all for the tips. II'm surprised there isn't a thread giving us all functions of the S Pen considering it's a the selling point of this tablet
Here you go...
Back: While pressing the S Pen button, drag the S Pen to the left to return to the previous screen.
Menu: While pressing the S Pen button, drag the S Pen down to open a list of options available on the current screen.
Screen capture: While pressing the S Pen button, tap and hold the screen to capture a screenshot.
After capturing a screenshot, you can draw on it, write on it, or crop it.
Quick note: While pressing the S Pen button, double-tap the screen to launch the Quick note function

That has been removed. The menu button will appear only if necessary and needed by the app itself. If you don't seem to find the menu button, it might be embedded in the app itself. The menu button on the navigation bar will appear at the left-most corner. A 3 horizontal line with a small triangle.
So it seems like..it has already been removed..and also the screen grab shortcut aswell hmmm anyways thanks for the input though

Any idea how to flip the multitask and back buttons ? Isn't it weird that the back button is now on the right ? Why would Samsung do that ?
My menu button on GT-6210 hardly ever shows up no matter which app I'm using & it's totally random when it decides to show back up (using stock honeycomb.) I got so annoyed by not having it when I needed it so I bought an app called called button survivor from the market. I think it needs root permission but now I can use that to open the menu whenever I need it.

So did they remove quick launch options in the display settings removed on jellybean?
Settings/display/quick launch
I don't have jellybean so I can't check but if they they removed the quick launch option & removed the screenshot shortcut that is very disappointing and makes no sense at all.

One thing that I am finding annoying in Kitkat is that the left most screen (other than Google Now) is the default screen after pressing the home button. I'd prefer that I could choose which screen the home button takes me to. Is there a setting for this that I am misssing?
Thanks
Yes you're missing everything about android, this isn't ios of course you can change whichever home screen you want. When you're on your home screen press the 'Home screen button' again and then press the small + sign the upper right corner, there you can add or delete and rearrange your screens and the one with the green check mark is your default main home screen.

That worked on 4.3, but it doesn't seem to work on 4.4. The default home screen (i.e. where the home button takes you) is always the "left-most" screen (other than google now) and you have to scroll right to get to the other screens.

you can drag and rearrange the screens to pick a new home
While it looks like there is no way to set which screen is the home screen - probably because of google now being the leftmost screen - you CAN change the order of the screens by long-pressing and then dragging them to rearrange. Whichever one is left-most becomes the default "home screen". when you hit the home icon.
Guys,
How do you enable the screenshot shortcut with S-Pen ?
Earlier in Note 4 / Note 3, You can keep the pen on screen, and then press and hold the S-Pen button and it will trigger a screenshot.
The Note edge doesn't seem to do that, and I was looking for a way to enable it.
Any luck Anyone ?
EDIT -
One more Question, Ive seen in all YouTube reviews that in Camera App, Shutter buttons are on the edge panel rather than the App screen. Is there a way to enable it, or is this no longer available in 5.0.1 ?
BUMP

Just as easy to hit the air command. It will come up as a snote and just hit the checkmark and it saves it as a screenshot

I think he means after you hit the air command then you hit screen write and it takes a screen shot at that point so all you have to do then is hit the check in the upper right and it will save it.
On another note I use the side of my palm wipe across the screen and it works well and is fast. Just another option.
Easier yet.... Just press the power button and home button at the same time to take a screenshot.
Why not put a screenshot button on the edge panel that'd be nice.
If you have hand gestures turned on then swiping the side of your Palm from right to left across the screen is the gesture for screenshots. Also as stated before you can use screen write or even smart select if you want only part of the screen I use that a lot, and the power+home held for a second or so will do the trick.
I think there should have been a screen cap button on one of the edge panels tho. One of the pre-installed ones like the favorites one, maybe on a pull down like the ruler app.

1. According to Samsung, this is the case
2. Try long pressing the back button
3. Don't know, haven't tried
4. Hold Power & Volume Down for 10 seconds
5. Don't know this either.

Press and hold the recents key. It's been like that since the Note 4
Edit: Actually I just got the phone and the long press doesn't bring up the menu anymore, brings up multi window. Weird

They moved the menu to long pressing the back key.
#6, Yes you can register multiple fingers.
