When I am using the Prime, it seems I can only use 1 window at a time.
Example: if I stream from Youtube, and want to check "WiFi analyzer or Speedtest", the stream is interrupted.
Is there a way that the tablet can allow me to have several task running, like in the above example or similar?
Well for that example you listed you can get an app called stickit. It allows you to watch your videos or streams while doing whatever else you want. Its just like a PC when you bring up a movie screen then you can resize it and move it all over tthe screen. For example I can be browsing the web while watching the video in the little screen. You can make screen as big or small as you want. It plays continuously and doesn't stop no matter what you doing. The screen follows you wherever you go until you close it.
Here is screenshot example I just took. Love this app.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Anyway, yeah, there's no stock way to do what you want. Demandarin, that's a great app! I just don't understand why ICS doesn't have such things built in, you'd think they'd be trying to push true multi-tasking at the user's discretion.
Seems to me that Google's just not trying to replace PC's like I'd like them to. I love messing around with my x86 Honeycomb (beats the hell out of Windows 8).

Wow! Thanks for the tip. I thought I was going to have to wait for Cornerstone for something like this. Does Stickit work with any stream app or site?

I ditched my iPad for my Transformer Prime and I couldn't be happier that I did but there's one specific feature on the iPad's Safari browser that I miss dearly, and it might seem negligible to some but I used it daily on my iPad.
When viewing a page in Safari that included text, Safari gave you a "Reader" button on the address bar and if you tapped that button, Safari transformed the page into a more readable format... like a book. Here's how it looked:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The stock browser on our Primes doesn't have a feature like this and I've tried many many many browsers from the market (Dolphin, Firefox, Skyfire, Xscope, etc) and haven't found one yet that has this feature (Dolphin Browser has a plug-in to do just this but the plug-in doesn't work and it hasn't been updated in quite a while, and Firefox has a "Readability" plug-in as well but that one doesn't work very well either).
My question is, do you guys know of a browser on Android ICS that does this? I'll bake you a cookie if you do, I promise!
Installing Firefox and get Readability extension?
This is a very cool feature!
Currently, I just use ReadItLater. But, it's not instant within the browser like the feature you describe.

I forgot to include it in the OP that I tried that as well and Firefox's Readability doesn't seem to work very well either. Have a look at what it did to this Engadget page:

I use ReadItLater as well and love it but like you said, it's not instant, and the bigger issue I have with it is that it doesn't seem to play nice with the LiveJournal blogs I read. For example: I'll add a page from a LiveJournal blog to my ReadItLater list and ReadItLater will instead capture the login screen or the "mature content" screen and there doesn't seem to be a way to get past that. It's infuriating.
First, by notebook, I mean this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Anyone know a good notebook app that have the following features:
-Lines, so you can use the keyboard (on screen or not) to tap, and the words follow the lines.
-Free drawing mode: So you can draw anywere you want.
-Text boxes: Like Paint program on Windows, it allows you to write on the text boxes, and allows you to move the box anywere, if needed.
-Different colors: I think almost all notebook apps have that, but this is a must. Be able to change the color in some phrases, words or paragraphs. This goes for drawing mode too.
-Highlights
This:
Be able to highlight some parts of the text, obvious.
I'm sorry if I am asking too much, but a app like that would be awesome for future use.
I still don't have my Prime (will buy in March or April), but I am already asking just for have something that I can install right after it get out of the box.
Thanks.
Anyone knows?
Try free note. I use it work everyday and it seems to be the most complete note app
I will search for videos. As I said, I still don't have my Prime, buyin it on April, so I am already asking opinions and such.

If I helped, please press Thanks.

Your prime will come with an app called Supernote and it does everything you are looking for.
Hi everyone.
I was wondering if there's a way to resize an Android application. I don't mean resizing the resolution, but I mean literally resizing the application so it only fits part of the screen.
Given the flexibility of Android I'd imagine this is possible, even though it would probably require root (isn't a problem for me).
You might be wondering why on earth I'd want this - well, simply put, it would be fantastic for multitasking. Nowadays there's a whole load of popup applications on the Play Store. But if say I run a popup video and browse the web, whenever I scroll to the top of the webpage, then half of that webpage will be covered up by the popup application. It quickly becomes more of a hassle than it's worth, because I'll have to keep moving around the popup video.
But if I could just force the browser to only take up half the screen, then I can very easily multitask with them.
So is this possible? Thanks in advance to anyone who has any info.
There are a few multi-tasking apps on the market but trust me, they all suck. I also have been looking into this and apparently this is harder done then said to have something like Samsung's Multi-Window.

That's a shame. I agree in regards to the popup apps though, it seems like anyone who makes them has no clue what even 'UI' means, haha. But irregardless it'd be really handy for this, since there are one or two actually handy popup apps.
So anyone else know of a way?
Why don't you use pie controls?
Edit: What kind of "multitasking" are you looking to do exactly?

Here's a good example of what I mean:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see half the screen takes up for a notes app, and half the screen takes up the browser. What I'm looking for would be something similar, or in the case I described, a potentially easy fix - shrinking down one app to only take up half the screen and using another popup app to take up the other half of the screen to mimic multitasking. It doesn't have anything to do with Pie.
Understand what I mean now?

It's global. It will block double click ads (not a bad thing), sometimes other mild glitches and may slow browsing down a bit on some sites. Close browser/reopen or refresh the page normally fixes it if it acts up. The very few sites it totally blocks probably should be avoided.
I rarely disable it. Been using it a couple months now.

Well that was easier than editing an app..done!
I'm on my new 'Note' the S23 Ultra and have watched all the 'do this first' type YouTube settings videos etc., but I have a video issue.
On my laptop I use Windows Movie Maker, basic but easy for quick editing clips, and for more pro stuff I use DaVinci Resolve, however neither program will open my most recent videos?
I've tried different settings with the same result and have attached a photo of the details of a file that does open and one that doesn't, but I'm not sure what it's telling me? They all play fine in VLC Media Player.
I'm far from an expert at all this, and at 72 this year maybe it's just all getting beyond me, but any suggestions or help appreciated.
The one that works is from my S22 Ultra, the other the S23!!
Many thanks.

Is the format supported?
Check the error messages in Windows Event Viewer.

They are all MP4 so shouldn't be an issue, but after further research and going through every setting both the Hi-Bit rate (whatever that it) and the High Efficiency setting were on.
Not sure what either are but hopefully that'll be the answer.

Yeah based on the file size it looks like the file type.
