Is only me having these issues :banghead:
from the Giant Killer Samsung Note 2
Goggle search bar can be removed by disabling it in Settings/Apps
Also - I use Nova Launcher and now just have a Google Search icon in the dock. Saves room.
I use wallpaper from http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper/downloads/date/widescreen/2560x1600/
I set them with an app called Simple Image Wallpaper from the Play Store.
My cover gets warm as well - but not that big of a deal.Definitely good to not have it on something smothering the back.
I can only see the option to Disable it, how to remove from screen?
Wat about BEAM fearure?

How to use Beam feature for Galaxy Note 2 and Nexus 10 ???
I am not able to beam photos n videos from my GN2, it opens play store !!!
EDIT: I am able to beam browser page but not photos n videos..
When I turned off SBeam I am able to do transfer..

Don't quote me on this, but I don't think you can remove Google Search bar from the homescreen without a custom ROM.
Sbeam only works on Samsung devices that have NFC and the sbeam app. You cannot sbeam to a nexus device since that is not a stock android feature.
Please read up more on the differences between android beam and Sbeam..
Disabling and rebooting will remove it. I did it.
On the note 2, go into settings and disable s-beam but leave NFC on. Voila. Worked for me between note 2 and one xl

NFC isn't bluetooth but it's slower than s-beam (which is basically wifi direct)

But when m doing NFC (switching OFF S-Beam) my Bluetooth turned ON on both Note 2 and Nexus 10 !!!
Let me try again today..
EDIT: read this..found in XDA from other users
Android Beam is one of the standard features of Android platform and implemented within Android Application Framework.
On the other hand, S-Beam is Samsung's proprietary and that works only between two Galaxy S3s.
When you try to send pictures from the Galaxy S3 to the Nexus 10, Galaxy S3 sends a handover request message for
establishing a Wi-Fi Direct link to the Nexus 10, as in S-Beam manner. However the Nexus 10 doesn't support S-Beam
and that attempt fails.
When you try to send pictures from the Nexus 10 to the Galaxy S3, Nexus 10 sends a handover request message for
establishing a Bluetooth link to the Galaxy S3, as in Android Beam manner. Because Android Beam is a standard
feature of Jelly Bean, Galaxy S3 accepts the request and return a handover select message to the Nexus 10. Then a
Bluetooth OPP link is established between those two devices and the pictures are transferred.
For me, Chrome is the biggest problem. It hangs every time and most of the time Nexus 10 reboots. The UI is not as smooth as Nexus 4. Actually not even close to it. Battery isn't so good either.
Although I'm a hardcore Android fan but I admit that apple products never hang. My wife has iPad 2. Since 1 year it's up and working. Never got hung.

I have two EVO LTE phones and when I bump the backs together they play an audible tone and vibrate so I know they are connecting with NFC but I can not for the life of me figure out how to transfer a file from one phone to the other. Does anyone have experience with this and can explain how to do it? Thanks in advance for any responses.

Can't transfer files only smaller things like vCards, browser links, youtube links. HTC hasn't added the ability to add other things yet. Samsung built on Beam using wifi direct so i would be surprised to see HTC come up with a similar solution or a app to assist the
Beam thru wifi direct connection.

Thank you but I still can't even manage to transfer a v-card. Doesn't bring up a menu or anything when the phones are within range. I'm not sure this will be useful at all then accept for google wallet type of functions.

Make sure both phones have the NFC turned on then pull up the contact or the web page(looks like ICS internet and chrome only work - dolphin wouldnt) then touch the backs of the phones together. It will push the item to the back of the screen and then touch the screen and it will beam it to the other phone. You can do the same with some apps as well and it will push app to the playstore. Cant wait till you can beam photos and files.

There is an app on the market called 'File Expert" that allows you to do it but I think when doing larger files bluetooth is faster. but hey if you wanna play. here is a toy.

Since the first day I got my phone my stock browser has talked. It's says "loading page" and "page loaded" and tells you when you press on anything. I don't have any of the talk back stuff on or any of the gesture stuff. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and knows how to fix it. I have been using chrome in the mean time. Thanks in advance!

I can tell you from personal experience that the only fix for this for me was to exchange it for a new one. (Or you could delete SecBrowser if rooted). Oh, man that was annoying! Returned it, got a new one, no problems with "the talking browser" since.

This sounds like either accessibility or car mode.. Did you check those 2
Neither are active. And I've cut both on then off. If it was either it would happen more places than just the internet browser.

Do you have any folders on your home screen? If so open one of them.. If not make one and open it. . I bet it talks.. folder open folder closed. .
Nothing talks except for the browser. That's why I posted this thread. Just weird that none of the gestures or extra features are enabled but I get talking in the stock browser.
Scribbled From My Note 3
Did you try a folder.. There was in the note 2 and other Samsung devices (i think including the s4l a bug with the accessability where only the browser changing home screens and opening and closing folders would talk when they were not suppose to.
It usually pops up when some programs are installed that need some part of accessability to run. . I know some program that controls the flashing light is one but there are others.
I have plenty of folders and have switched home screens a few hundred times since I got the phone. Nothing talks except the browser.

I did the same (used Chrome) but I figured, hell, I paid for it so I should be able to use it. But nothing was outta place. Went in to accessibility and unchecked everything. Debugged the browser and found nothing outta place there either. The only option I could think of was to replace it. Or maybe flashing the stock tar might clear it up.

I just tested it here and it does no longer do it on folders or home screen but it does do it on stock browser. Do you have my fitness pal or light flow installed. .
Do you have any apps listed under settings device access ability under the section called services. .
Nope nothing out of the ordinary. Nothing that messes with accessibility.
Scribbled From My Note 3
Actually I have a Pebble and that could be messing with the accessibility features....
Scribbled From My Note 3
It has nothing to do with accessibility it just uses some of the routines or something. . It is not going to be something out if the ordinary..
No biggie. I just won't use the stock browser.

Thanks for wasting my time trying to help you. .
Really?!?! I didn't waste your time cherylbaker. Everything you asked me to try I tried and it didn't help. There is nothing more I can do besides not use the stock browser. I'm sorry that you don't like that answer, but it's the only choice I have. I was looking for a solution from someone who had the same experience but the only person with the same issue exchanged his unit for a new one.
Scribbled From My Note 3
You have installed something that uses accessibility sevices. If you look under settings, accessibility, services you will see "talk back". Anything besides talk back is something you installed. Unfortunately this is a bug so if you would like to keep those apps working correctly just use another browser. The apps that I have installed that cause the issue are Pebble watch app and talking caller id. Those services need access to all my apps the reason they are listed in accessibility. So I just use other browsers.

Hi all.
I am trying to transfer a photo from my wife's galaxy note 3 but everytime the phones connect, my XZU starts play store.
Any thoughts?

Interesting because on stock ROM you can't change anything. Curious are you running a custom ROM or is it stock? I just tried with my 6806 and my Note 3 and had no issues beaming to the Ultra.
Just to check, when you have NFC on, Do you also have Android Beam on as well?

You can't use NFC to transfer files. Its used to activate hardware or features. Its opening the playstore because it doesn't know what you want.
You'll need to tell it to activate android beam when tapping NFC
Don't ask me how to do that, as I've ever used beam.
Perhaps 'sony connect' from the playstore??
or
'NFC easy connect' both are by Sony Corp.

Yeah I downloaded NFC connect, this utility seems to be just for connecting to speakers etc, even with this software on the phone it does the same thing.
Weird.
Oh and I am on the stock ROM. Just upgraded to 4.3 so will see if that makes a difference.

Same.... Not getting chrome multitask integration... Only one instance of chrome even with 3,4 website pages open
Sent from my Nexus 9 using XDA Free mobile app
@Scotlac. I'm pretty sure that's not what the op was referring to. He is looking for the feature they advertised at Google I/O where each tab would show up as its own card in the multitasking view. As near as I can tell, that feature has not yet come to fruition, and hopefully is just around the corner.
Ahh, I was not aware of that feature. Thanks Wolf!
I believe it is only enabled for phones.
On a tablet you have direct access to all open tabs in chrome anyway. I think they tested it and thought that it doesnt make things faster or easier.
Let's say you have opened up 10 pages. You would see 10 added entries to your recent apps mixed with all other apps you would take some time to find a specific chrome tab. Just hitting the one chrome instance you see in the current implementatiton and then in chrome select the correct tab seems easier to me. On a phone where you can not see the tabs in chrome without a click it's differernt.
But yes, they should have made it an option.
I read somewhere on g+ that is a setting that had to be enabled.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
Nope, I don't think its enabled for phones either. I have yet to see it with any build I've tried on my Nexus 5.
The chrome build on my tablet will will give you the option if you set the LCD density to the same as the nexus 5. I'm not a fan of this feature, but I'm sure someone can hack chrome to make this work. Just needs to be decompiled and forced to phone mode. With DPI like this tablet is unusable(well, usable just horrible looking) I just wanted to see if the functionality was in chrome and it is. I don't have time to mess with it right now, maybe in the future if no one gets on it.
(This is on my nexus 9)
yea i guess its not enabled for tablets. i have it on my nexus 5 running latest lollipop preview and its amazing. i think they should have it integrated into tablets AND still let you see the tabs one BOTH tablets and phones. I loved the system of pulling down in chrome to see tabs, and i think this new system could accompany it nicely. i dont see why they got rid of one for the other, and tablets are just stuck with old fashion tabs

Most likely the one from play store will get updated as well which is why i have uploaded the last version with the included action memo.
I can verify that the Samsung Acct sync option worked fine, all my action notes from my Note edge cam over just fine.

They want to integrate everything into one apps but to some of us kind of failed. One of the best thing about action memo is their link to action feature... we lose it with the new samsung memo and lots of other stuff that was in Snote were missing.
Samsung Note is getting thrashed with all the 1 star reviews over at playstore (and rightly so IMO). Wonder how they can come out with this so called all in one note app that is half-baked and lacking in so many features that it felt more like an alpha rather than a fully conceptualised app.

S-note has a ton of features, my favorite is photo note, I can take a photo of a piece of paper, a drawing, or text, and then I can write on it, and edit it. S-Note converts it into a text/line art image that I can easily modify. Used it at least once a week. It was one of the Note line killer features, and was heavily advertised, years ago. Also you could seamlessly write on photos. In Samsnung Notes, text, photos, and writing all live separately on the page, with S-note you could write all over the page, no matter what was under it.
I actually came to this thread to encourage everyone to rate Samsung Notes on the playstore and help them see the need for a change. I understand updating an app, but this removed 75% of the features. If it wasn't for screen off memo, the Samsung Notes app would be completely useless.

Screen of notes still go to Samsung Note. They are still there, just harder to find.
They are pushing out a update to s-note via the samsung galaxy store. I fear it will override the S-Note I have, and take away action notes.

Samsung MIGHT be listening... this is a snip of the response I got on the trashing review I wrote on Samsung Note on the Play Store.
We are carefully reviewing for supporting Action Memo next version. However, For those who want to keep using S Note, it can be downloaded via Google Play Store.

Of course they don't mention that all the updates to S-note take away the action memo. So one hand is carefully reviewing it, and the other hand takes it more, and more away.

From the comments in the Google Play Store Samsung is telling people to download S Note there if they still want to have things like Action Memo, so I don't think they will take that away. They need to add that function into the new Samsung Note. Crazy that they took it away.
Edit: In fact I got a response from Samsung about this just now. They are looking into support for Action memo in the next release. So there is some hope.

Problem is, they turned off comparability with the s note for the note 7. So that isn't a solution.
I tried to download S-Note from the app store but it said my device was incompatible and I couldn't Install. I used the above link from jovy23. Thank you, thank you. Don't understand why Samsung would get rid of one of the Note's greatest features.
