hy. does anyone know how to change my s pen from left handed to right handed? i don't know if there is something like that in the settings. maybe an app? the thing that offsets the pointer to compensate for the parallax effect is set for the left hand so when i use my right hand the pointer is under the s pen, but with the left hand it is perfect.
btw android 4.4.4 nh7

Since I'm left handed, I usually wear my watch on my right wrist.
I'd like the camera pointing out towards my hand so I need to flip the display.
I can't find any setting to do this. The "auto-rotate display" doesn't really work.
Any suggestions?

(note: I'm running a heavily modified stock rom)
There's an xposed framework module called gravitybox with an overide to allow all auto rotation orientations. I use this with the auto-rotation enabled in the accessibility settings to swap the watch between my right and left throughout the day. if you want to force it to a specific orientation, I'm sure this can be done with xposed framework somehow.
I've not tried it on the truesmart, but I've used gmd smart rotate (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.smartrotate / http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2045240) to override orientation on touchwiz for years, and there are other similar applications available. these may prove to be simpler to use if you're not familiar with xposed framework
GMD mostly works

Thanks for this information. Nice app. The GMD Smartrotate does allow me to flip the screen to wear my watch on the right wrist. The only problem is that the camera image is upside down. It does flip the controls and menus for the camera app but the camera image is not flipped and is upside down. All the other apps seem to be flipped just fine. (Oh well, at least when I show pictures to other people, it will be right side up for them.)
It's hard to take right side up pictures anyways, it always seems to rotate them sideways. I just rotate them after I've taken the pictures. It's not like I'm using this thing as a primary camera
Edit: I didn't think about videos though..
As I continue to pollute the airways with my crazy ideas simply because I see a lot of deficiency when it comes to multitasking on a smartphone vs laptop, questions:
Is there a way to change the pinch zoom, so the location and the gesture would be in a specific spot with specific motion to zoom in (go up) and zoom out (go down) like this:
http://i62.tinypic.com/ose3cp.jpg
and it would zoom in and out in the middle of a the screen kind of like google maps
If there is way how about presetting the zoom percentage so if my gesture idea worked I can preset the range of zoom . Would this work across the board or needs programming in each app?
I can see this very useful when holding a pen in right hand and doing quick zoom in and out with left hand.
If impossible maybe there is a way to use a pie control where each section of the pie is mapped with a zoom function so you can progressively zoom in and out.
Cheers
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
Today I received my new passive stylus Adonit Jot Pro and I've noticed that when I realize small movements Android doesn't "detect" them. So I enabled the developer mode and set the Show touches and Pointer location features. After a few test I've seen that Android have a small "Dead Zone" defined. I suppose it's to avoid unwanted scrolls and touches dude small and involuntary finger movements. But, using stylus I want to get rid of this "Dead Zone" because
Does anyone knows if there's a hidden option, Xposed module, AOSP code location... way to remove it? Thanks.
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.
