Relocating status indicator. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have one of the new Galaxy Note 10.1s and I use my pen a lot for taking notes. I find that my hand often triggers the status menu located in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. Is there any way I can relocate that to some other location?
Thanks!

(APP REQUEST) Manila mod for endless Manila-Sense slider

if such a manila mod does not yet exist (note that I searched in xda'developers before posting), may I suggest to our great Manila modders to mod the slider to enable endless sliding (I mean, being able to nonstop sliding from last tab to first tab and beyond, or the other way around)
I guess you're talking about some sort of a loop, right?
I never payed attention to this issue on my TyTN II because I used to use the keypad all the rime, however on my HD2 things are a little bit different... the home button does the trick, but it's not as convenient as way you describe it
That feature is sort of available already.
I mean, not directly, when you are in the home tab, swiping left to right (in the tab area not the slider), will bring you to the last tab; if you're on the last tab, swiping from right to left (again in the tab area not the slider) will bring you to the home tab.

Thanks for your attention
Yes, I know, and that was the driver for my suggestion/ feature request, as it needs several swipes in the non-slider area.
My suggestion makes posible arrive to the desired tab, via single swipe on the shortest route, left or right wise!
I think I know what you're saying but I have another idea.
I think a carousel type idea would be awesome. Just grab the slider and flick it left or right and the slider keeps going until either, kinetically it slows to a stop on its own, or you stop it with your finger to land on the desired tab. It would go around and around in a big loop, animating all tabs the way the Co0kie Home Tab Mod allows you to slide between pages of quick links. I think this would be an INCREDIBLE mod to see become a reality.

no developer interested?

[Q] Navigation Drawer on the right side?

I've never posted here before so I have no idea if this is right or in the right place, but here it is.
I'm wondering if there is any way for me to get the navigation drawer that is used on so many apps to come from the right side instead of the left, I would like to have it on the right so I can use the left side of my screen without restricting the nav drawer. I'm left handed so it's easier to use the left side for things than the right.

[Q] Touch screen sensitivity question

I posted this on a different forum but should have checked over here first. Hopefully one of you guys with a Gear S can verify this for me.
When swiping down from the clock screen to get to the quick menu it seems I have to be in the top center when I swipe down. If I try to swipe down from the top near the edges it does not work. This also applies when swiping down from a widget to get back to the home screen. If I am in app or scrolling through the apps the top edges seem to work as normal.
Just trying to figure out if it is supposed to be this way or my Gear S is defective?
Thanks
Just tried the swipe down on my Gear S. Won't respond if I'm swiping near the corners. Only responds when I swipe near the middle.
On my Galaxy Note 4, I can swipe straight down from the middle to pull up the notification panel. I can also swipe diagonally down from the corners to activate multi-window pop-up mode.
So, maybe the Gear S will eventually incorporate some type of diagonal swipe down from the corners to activate or open an app or setting.
Thanks for the checking. I figured it was designed like that but I had nothing to compare it to.
Thanks again

How to get rid of or move floating G and screen dots bar

I hope someone can help me. After letting someone use my phone I now see a floating G and dots bar in the middle of my screen. Apparently the bar lets me know which screen I'm currently on in terms of number of screens. How can I move or remove this?
You can get rid of the "G" in Settings (probably under Home Screen), but the more direct way is:
Press and hold a vacant area of some screen. That will shrink the screen and show a bunch of installable apps.
Again, press a vacant area of the screen, and you will see all "enabled" screens (up to eight).
Drag the offending screen (the top left most) to the trash can.
Press the home button.
I think there's a way to get rid of the dots, but I'm not sure. I like them, so I've never had to research the issue.

Tab S3 split screen multi window problem

Lucky though I am to suffer such trivial problems on my journey through life, I'd be very grateful if anyone has a solution to this particular Rich World problem.
On my Tab S3 I am in landscape and Split Screen Multi window mode. I want to change the app in the Left Hand pane. If I press the Recents button I am only ever given the option to change the apps in the Right Hand pane. It does not matter which pane, left or right, is in focus I can only change the app in the right hand pane.
The only way I can figure to change the app in the left hand pane is to 1. Swop the panes about so Left pane becomes Right pane. 2. Hit the Recents button and select the new app. 3. Swop the panes back. That's rubbish! Does anyone know if there is an easier way to change the Left hand app?
Why do I want this? I am right handed. I like to use the stylus with Samsung Notes in the right hand pane. I keep whatever app I am referring to or watching in the left hand pane and I like to change to different apps there fairly regularly. All this daft swopping is dementing me. I could just do my writing in the left hand pane but that is also rubbish as it feels awkward.
Really like the Tab but wondering if I should have got an iPad Pro for my notetaking.
Ok this is pretty trivial i know, hence plenty views but no replies! I'll leave it up in case someone else is puzzling about what multi window does and doesn't do.

It's not trivial. But it is how the multi-window is implemented by Google in Android Nougat. So there isn't a solution unless Google change their mind on the implementation.
