My Touchwiz update went fine on my stock unrooted tab. However, the new pan and tilt functionality doesn't work even though I've turned on all the settings and calibrated my tab.
Am I missing something or has anyone else experienced this?
this feature looks kind of.... stupid
For photos in the Gallery and web pages you need to put two fingers on the tablet initiate it's ability to zoom. They show holding it by the bottom corners then touching the screen with your thumbs. It works as show on mine. It can also be turned OFF in settings. Make sure its not OFF if you want to try it.
Ultimately it is a gimmick. Can't see even holding the tablet that way in normal use.

Agreed. For me, pinch to zoom works much better.
I like the ability to move an icon/widget from screen to screen while holding it down and turning tab left/right.
Much better for moving icons.

Pwned. Lol it shows a demo of how to use it the first time you open the browser.
how do I keep the TP from turning on while on the touchstone? I don't want a clock or pictures, I just want it dark in my room at night. I can turn off the power when I first set it on the dock but when its fully charged on pops the screen again. How can I disable this?
Thanks
install preware if you dont have it already, go to patches and look for charge only option. there's several to choose from. pick one you like and use.
I'm pretty sure if you hit the power button after exhibition mode starts it will turn the screen off for good. But what I did was install the minimum brightness patch so now when its in exhibition mode it is much darker and much less bothersome when trying to sleep. To install the patch you'll need preware installed.

Do you happen to know the name? I found one called Quick System Tasks and it locked up my tab. I looked through all the prepare apps and only found that one.

Are you using the Preware app on your Touchpad?
Preware -> Available Packages -> Patch -> Search -> Enter "Charge"
The search is started by tapping the magnifying glass in the top button, which brings up the keyboard. Type in "charge" (without the quotes).

Or when it receives any notifications for that matter. I've resorted to just keeping the cover on the HP case closed so it covers the screen when I leave it on the touchstone overnight.

If you're talking about the temp of the device, I'm not really sure. I installed the minimum brightness patch the second day I got it because it was way too bright to have as a bedside clock. I also have a case on it, but it doesn't feel warm when I take it off the stone. Also, the lowest brightness with the patch can only be set in the screen and lock app. You cannot set it from the drop down on the home screen.

uhhh im sure he is asleep by the time it fully charges.
i have a solution
1) put the charger and the touchpad into a box
2) tape the box up
3) put my address on the box
4) take it to the post office and send it to me
that should fix your problem

I haven't been able to come up with a way to set my screen to full brightness while charging, and haven't found a solution with a search. I want it up as bright as it will go when the phone is in my car mount and plugged in, and I normally keep the brightness below 50% to save battery. It's a pain to switch the display setting each time I get in and out of the truck. I have Tasker, but I haven't been able to come with a way to do what I want with it yet, unless I'm missing something. Ideally, I'd have it automatically go to 100% with no timeout or dim when I plugged the phone in. Any suggestions?
I suggest getting a new phone.

Just swipe the notification bar at the top of the screen left and right to change the brightness, no need to go to display settings.
I am on Fenny's ics rom and in developer settings it has stay awake while charging but it was in Tasks rom also I just can't remember where.
Edit...I just searched play store market for screen control and seen a paid app called screebl it has settings for brightness in portrait and landscape (slider controls) and also a box to tick to disable while docked. I am thinking you could set it up with those options.

You see, now THAT is a useful bit of advice; I didn't know about using that gesture. Thanks for that, I know I'll get a lot of use out of that info now, no more trying to navigate to settings when I walk out into the sun. However, I would like to find a way for the screen to go to full brightness when I plug it in.

I'm on Tasks ROM; the stay awake setting I can do, but if I'm not mistaken it will still dim the screen after a bit, won't it?
Yea just hold you're finger on the furthest right of the notification bar after you plug it in. only takes a second.

Nice find thanks for sharing.
That app works perfectly. Thanks OP for starting this thread. I have always manually adjusted, so it's nice to skip the steps....and thanks to adfurgerson for the link!!
And fyi, I don't know if it's my phone, but no matter how I swipe the notification bar to adjust brightness, it never goes to 100% brightness. I always check in settings afterwards, and it's at about 95%. Maybe I've been doing it wrong, but with the above mentioned app, I no longer need to wonder.

Just know that even if you're running the charging app mentioned above, if you're using the phone while charging, and its getting hot, the phone will dim the screen as needed, for protection.

Is your auto-brightness turned on?
I'd be a lot happier with auto-brightness if I had more control over it, like if I could set the baseline for it to adjust from, and maybe change the adjustment frequency.

I never use auto...what I'm referring to is the phone's overheating protection. My phone is charging right now and it feels warm around the edge and just under the back camera lens. I'm sitting pretty close to a warm fireplace. I'm sure if I were outside (45F) the screen wouldn't be dimming.

Hi,
Does anyone know how to turn off the female notifications when swiping between home screens/app pages - the one that says "Page x of x". Honestly, whoever at samsung/google thought this up should be flogged. When I'm listening to music and also using my phone, I know what page I'm on, I don't need a wet nurse distracting me and telling me the obvious. Also, is anybody running into massive stuttering when quickly swiping between screens or using the dots to slide quickly between home screens? That is annoying and a drastic step back from previous roms, and also I've noticed that each new samsung rom seems to be more bug ridden than the last - either stability issues or some other annoying thing. But enough ranting, I'd appreciate if someone would let me know of solution to my first problem mentioned here - thanks in advance.
go to settings and then go to accessibility settings. There you have a option called talkback. Turn that off ~!

It's an accessibility feature. You turned it on yourself.
No I'm no dummy, that accessibility setting is one of the first things I've checked and it's off.

Why does Samsung feel is necessary to warn me that my headphones are getting louder and could possibly damage my hearing?
Now even the brightness level has to warn me that I am making the screen bright
I am a grown Azz man with two children a mortgage and a job. I'm pretty sure I can handle the responsibility of not blowing my eardrums out, or burning my retina with my Note 8.
What's even worse is now the threshold warning is even lower for the headphone volume. It used to be about 80% now its about 60%.
The one thing I miss it out custom roms is that we used to be able to disable that. Is there any mods available to stop those warnings? Probably the most frustrating thing about modern Samsung devices in my opinion

You'll see that won't stop the notification message after reboot. That's a parental control to lock it to a set max where children cannot go past without a PIN code.
There is another way using tasker and autotools.
True. Hopefully Samsung fixes it in a future update... ? This way works for now though unless I go the tasker route later on. I don't reboot my phone often this soon into the phones life anyway, and it's not a huge pain to go into the settings and change it until my next reboot.

Once you click OK, you'll be fine until next reboot without dealing with that step.
In this very subforum is a tasker trick that seems to fix it for most folks.

I'm glad you got this to work for you. I've updated the OP to say that you must hit the "play" button to test this before it will work. I tested this by turning it off, rebooting, then allowing the popup to come back. Then I tried simply re-enabling this event and rebooting. The popup came back. It did not start working again until I hit play to test it. Then it survived every reboot again.
To the OP I'd say visit my thread here to get it to turn off forever.

If you're in the EU, that volume limiter thing is a regulation, so you can't disable it normally.

I'm in South Africa, so probably same rule apply
/sad panda
The EU or International version only warns about high headphone volume the once after reboot. This is the case with my N950N. Once you click OK It never comes up again until you reboot. From what I can gather this is what the option in the 3 dots does on the Snapdragon version. Stops it coming up every single time. The International version does not have the 3 dot menu because that option to stop the warning coming up every single time is already enabled by default.
i dont have that option as well
In most case it's not because they care so much about our well being. They place these sort of obstacles there for legal purposes. Pressing "ok" is basically signing a release of liability for any hearing damages caused by our increasing of the volume. I wouldn't bet on them fixing this any time soon.
Go into developer settings and turn off absolute volume?
Wow.. how sad.. never knew this.. THANKS!
youre clearly not if you made this thread..
