How do I disable multi window pop up view? - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Not too often, but once in a while I accidentally minimize apps into pop up view. How do I disable that? I was digging through the settings and couldn't find it.

Please. Anyone!?

By reading the manual?

I don't think the guy knows how to disable it either, otherwise he would have posted it.
I've looked through the manual and you can't turn it off.

Yeah it's annoying me too, I've already minimized by accident a handful of times when I was trying to swipe down to get the notifications bar. If you find a setting let us know!

Very annoying

This is how it works... Don't know how you disable it though
So now you’ve mastered Multi Window mode, but there’s something else of note tangentially connected to that. Samsung included a cool feature from the Note 4 called Pop-up View that works with any app that supports Multi Window (and only those apps). Basically, you get a resizeable floating app window that you can move around the screen. You can even have more than one and minimize them to floating icons.
There are three ways to go about this: long press on an app in the multitasking UI, drag down from the top right corner when an app is open, or use the pop up button when you have an app in Multi Window mode.
You can arrange these floating windows however you want, drag content between them, and maximize them to full screen at any time.

I don't think you can disable it, unfortunately. I hope someone proves me wrong though.

I was looking for this too. As soon as i got the device I kept accidentally re-sizing windows.

How do you resize windows on the s6 edge? There should be a setting under device called multiwindow...I know my note 4 has it, but I can not find it on the newer lollipop device.

start from left or right top corner, quickly swipe down to the bottom of the other corner, like from top left to bottom right.

I found the new MultiWindow gesture pretty annoying. On my S6 every time I swept down on the notification bar using one hand I'd always create a floating window. On other Galaxy devices there is a Quick Toggle to turn the MultiWindow feature off/on. The ability to control the feature is still in the S6 however it is not exposed in the user interface. I wrote a small application that can either enable/disable MultiWindow or bring back the MultiWindow Quick Toggle. It was primarily written for the Galaxy S6 however it should work on most of the devices that include Samsung's MultiWindow. Look for " MultiWindow Toggle for Samsung" on the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nerd.multiwindowtoggle

it worked!! Thanks a lot!

Worked perfectly on my G920V. Thanks!! I am amazed that Samsung hid the ability to disable this feature given how annoying and (seemingly) unnecessary it is with the new app switcher.

Worked brilliantly - thanks!

Simple
To disable it simply go to
Settings - (Device) Multi window - and disable Pop up view shortcut.
Tested on my Note 4 with android 5.0.1 stock

Ok you guys need to tap the soft key not push it because if you do you are going to get a split screen! Try it go on FB and then push and hold the left soft key and see what happens! My wife was doing the same thing!

There is a multi window toggle app for free in the app store

On my note 3: settings > display > multi window > (uncheck) pop-up view shortcut

Blue semicircle started appearing

Yesterday, a blue semicircle appeared on my Galaxy S3 and now I can't find a way to delete it, just move.
Here's a quick preview of it (I found the S3 image on Google and put the circle)
i.imgur.com/W7C1ynt.jpg
Also, you can move the circle on left/right side and also on top, but you can't delete it. And when you "open" it (with the finger going up/down/right/left) few applications appear (actually, those apps are installed with the Android itself, but...). Any help?
Multi Window.
I believe it's a Multi Window feature.
To Disable It:
1. Open "Setting" App
2. Tap on "Display"
3. Unmark to Enable/Disable Multi Window

[MOD][XPOSED] Niwatori - One Handed Mode

**** THIS PROJECT IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED ****
Niwatori changes the display position of apps. The target device is a smartphone that has about 5-inch display because the purpose is one-handed operation.
Thanks to rovo89, I can use this on Lollipop!
Niwatori provides three one-handed modes:
- Movable Screen
- Slide Down
- Small Screen.
They work temporary, NOT permanent.
**
Niwatori was my local version of Flying Android. I released Niwatori since Xposed framework supports Android 5.0 Lollipop.
Differences:
- Abolished FA Toggle, pin, flying dialog and notification shortcut features.
- Control the window only from shortcuts.
- Move the status bar and the dialogs in the same way as the apps.
**
Compatibility
NIWATORI CONFLICTS WITH OTHER MULTIWINDOW AND ONE-HANDED SYSTEM.
I test on Nexus 4 with Stock ROM. Niwatori should work on Nexus devices running Stock. And I support CyanogenMod if Niwatori works with small special code for CM.
Usage
Create shortcut for one-handed mode by Niwatori on sub-launcher , such as Pie control.
[MY USAGE 1] Navigation Bar and Gravity Box
Use shortcuts:
Movable Screen
Pin
[MY USAGE 2] LMT Launcher's Pie
Use shortcuts:
Small Screen
Swap Left/Right
Expand notifications with extra action (Small Screen)
Testing (v0.4.5)
[DEV] Nexus 4, Android 5.1.1
Nexus 9. Android 6.0.0

Translation
Volunteers are welcome to translate text (strings) to your language.
Download strings and edit two files:
- strings.xml
- strings_activity_settings.xml
And send them to me Note that text encoding of android is UTF-8.
If possible, place them in your language folder. ('values-ja' for Japanese, 'values-ru' for Russian, etc.)
Troubleshooting
Turn on "Log Actions" in niwatori's settings and call a shortcut for one-handed mode. Then Xposed framework logs as follow.
Code:
04-21 08:25:47.553 24125-24125/? I/Xposed﹕ jp.tkgktyk.xposed.niwatori.intent.action.SMALL_SCREEN
04-21 08:25:47.556 24125-24125/? I/Xposed﹕ NFW(ModActivity$20#onReceive): jp.tkgktyk.xposed.niwatori consumed: jp.tkgktyk.xposed.niwatori.intent.action.SMALL_SCREEN
The first line is shortcut (action) name, above case is Small Screen, and the second line logged who consumed the action by package name, above is niwatori settings. If the consumer isn't expected package, add the package into blacklist in niwatori settings.
Well

Good Job!
It seems to be the first module which has updated to adapt for new Xposed on Lollipop!
But i'm new to FlyingAndroid/Niwatori. My Device has no virtual navigation buttons and can't call the app as you shown on Youtube. is it now possible to call the app and scale the screen out by setting some kind of triggers???
Thanks in advance!

I got it, finnaly. You can add a gesture to every setting. But I see no use to it fi I can't put 2 window in the same screen.
@GalaxyS4_Lollipop;
 @Demonbane_x;
Trigger for Niwatori is shortcut. The "shortcut" is the same as ordinary shortcuts of any apps. So you can fire "shortcut" from home app, launcher app, GravityBox's action (works on lollipop?) , etc.
This mod moves the display position of foreground app, but not show multiple apps. In the screenshots, I only show one app (Niwatori UI) and expanded statusbar.
This module not working on MIUI 6.

I like the idea of making floating apps, but if you can't put two apps in one window , I don't know for what to use it.
You are a good developer , I hope you will make an app like XHaloFloatingWindow for lollipop in future.
doesn't fly the window
I associate the "toggle" NFW action with a gesture via GMD Gesture Control. When I execute the gesture, it doesn't fly the window. Instead, it opens the Niwatori settings app.
I should add that most of the time it does nothing at all. I know I'm executing the gesture correctly because I get the correct haptic feedback. I'm using the paid app.
Seems promising, gonna try it out
Amazing app!
One problem I saw that came up was that I was no longer able to perform the second pull-down of the notification bar from the middle of the screen; instead, I now have to reach my thumb upwards far more.
I think the module changes the trigger area. Can you check this out? It would make life easier!
And by second pull-down, I mean the method to get from notifications to toggles (bt, wifi, etc.)

XHaloFloatingWindow is one of the best modules. I cannot make such app.
But I cannot use halo window efficiently because my phone doesn't have enough display size for multi window. On the other hand, I don't reach thumb at the top of the screen. I need to pull down the screen.

Please check these points:
If you fire the "toggle" action from the other launcher (e.g. home app), does the "toggle" work fine?
Close Niwatori settings app before you use its actions.
If you need a refund, please tell me your order number by email or private message on XDA.
EDITED: I tried GMD Gesture Control, however it says "no supported device". (because of lollipop?)

Right, GMD currently doesn't work on Lollipop.
I tried closing Niwatori settings before using its actions, but it still doesn't work.
I put the NFW actions widget on my home screen (selecting "toggle"), but when I press the widget, nothing happens.
Thanks, but I won't bother with the refund: I'm glad to throw you the support, and I'll keep re-testing the app every time you update. I hope you can try some things to make it work on my S4.

@Jimmy34742;
Thank you for your cooperation.
I found a fatal error in the settings. Depending on the combination of settings, it is not possible to change the window mode and move the app.
Please disable "Reset automatically" option basically. It is useful only when to fire actions from recents button.

I have "reset automatically" switched off, but it still doesn't work. If I don't back out of Niwatori's before going to another app, then the shortcut will re-enter Niwator at the same point. But if I exit Niwatori by backing out of it, then my shortcut just does nothing.

You're mistaken on both points! It does work quite well, and it has been updated for lollipop. I've been using it since lollipop Xposed was released (even before it was 'officially' supported, it worked on version 2.38... It's now been updated to version 2.41)
I would ask to add double-click on a recent. In CM12 like as long press is already taken - switch between the last two applications.
The ability to run the application down to the user is in the Donut version?

Immersive mode note 8 oreo

I found this article for immersive mode for galaxy devices but upon updating to oreo, my note 8 is not going on immersive mode on the home screen and app screen.
https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...re-screen-real-estate-no-root-needed-0177297/
I didn't know this was a thing.
I just have my taskbar come up when I need to, so just double tap it and it'll "un-stick" it!
Then whenever you need to access one of the buttons, you just swipe up and it's there.
I've found it particularly natural to use!
the article also includes full immersive mode (nav bar and status bar). in nougat it was system wide. now in oreo, it doesn't work in home screen and app screen
I'm fine having the Status Bar on the homepage, and the nav bar with the swipe function has turned in to a must. Using bxActions, i've remapped the Bixby button to get immersive mode in apps, which is where i need it, even though it has strange artifacts like the typing box on messaging apps tends to go a bit underneath the keyboard, but i got used to it.
Are you talking about a BAR showing across the top of the screen on the home page? I am on what CRC2 and.. no bar.
yes. i am also on crc2. i reset my phone twice and still showing status bar and nav bar on home screen and apps screen. maybe there is something on my phone.

i'm on Oreo and using an app in Playstore "Shortcutter Quicksettings "( paid version )
for the Immersive mode mode function .
But the free version is ......
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.leedroid.shortcutter
You have to do a small ADB enabling on pc .
Works fine, you can also configure immersive mode
in Shortcutter app settings and have add a shortcut to your device screen to quickly enable either
" off/full/no statusbar/no nav "
Not sure if this function is fully available in free version .
I think you can also enable per app also .
Check it out if you really want immersive mode .
I have been using this app for a long time ( on and off )
i had no issues with app .
good luck

I use Shortcutter only for Immersive mode, as i can easily change modes with a tap.
You can either hide Statusbar /or Nav bar /or both or just tap off. (widget shortcut)
Take look at screenshots.
I'm sure it will answer your question.?
Good luck
Just to add, no root necessary.
Just a straight forward ADB command
that the dev gives clear example and guide.
Also had no issues with battery use.
Further in Shortcutter you can place cutom quick settings tiles for apps of your choice.
For me it's a good quality app, that i
have been using on and off for a long time.
Me, too.
I use APPs or ADB commands that all can't let home screen to immersive mode.
My phone is Note8 with Android 8.0.
Anyone could find the way to do that?

hi ,
The toggle does work .
I uninstalled Shortcutter and re installed to see if its works .!
No issues .
all i did was go to Shortcutter app /manage permissions/ Settings secure Access/ tap on it .....
then follow dev instruction ..go to his website (as listed )
Then on laptop launch ADB /adb devices ...etc /then copy and paste the command as listed on website ,enter and check your phone if it accepted the cmd
Go to Shortcutter /Settings ..scroll down to near bottom ..Immersive mode /Select mode,
tap that and show active Notification .
I have NOVA Prime .
I select Nova widgets and select the Shortcutter widget .and the choose Immersive icon in options .
(see screenshots ......................................)
Yes, it seems you skipped maybe a step .?
If not working, your ADB cmd did not stick !
I have some screenshots on laptop if you need to see ADB snapshots .?
Just asked again .
i cannot upload more than 4 snapshots at a time .
Good luck
post note
in my last screenshot its best to select "show mode selector option " ( this is for your widget option, on your home screen )or otherwise just choose .
It will then give you all options " off/full/no statusbar/no nav"
Place widget and tap on it and select mode .

Yes, in all my years I've never used Samsung experience @ TouchWiz .
Wouldn't know what it can do, apart from that it's
quite limited (sometimes)
Always used Nova Prime.
Just so many tweaks, options etc.
Anyway each, their own preferences.

Disable samsung notes popup when double tapping s-pen with button pressed?

Is this actually available for the Tab S3? I couldn't find it on the Galaxy Store and the .apk d/loaded from apkpure refuses to install.
Its simple....just deny the permision to appear on top....it didnt compromise any other feature too...

Dex questions: Hiding the taskbar. Others needed to request this feature!

Did some searching on here and Google but came up with nothing. Even tried to contact someone at Samsung and basically got hungup on (used the online chat feature, they quit talking to me after asking for my device model).
So I got the keyboard cover case since it was half off when I ordered my S6 and this is the real first time I've played around with Dex even though it's on several of my other devices. Just never liked having to need a seperate monitor, mouse, and keyboard basically.
My big complaint right now is that the taskbar at the bottom doesn't hide when an app like Samsung Internet is open and Ican't figure out any way to hide it. I'd love to hide the blinding white top bar too, but the taskbar takes up more room and is just more noticable while using the apps, to me anyways.
So my question is, is there any way to hide the taskbar and/or top app bar?
UPDATE: I managed to get in touch with someone at Samsung. They said hiding the bars is not something that can be done, but they will pass the info along as a request for a furture feature. So I encourage others to make a request on their website for this to be added. Might not be a huge deal on larger screens, but when using it built-in with the Tab S6 or other small screens the extra realestate would be grand. I believe I found an easy way to make the request using either the Samsung Members app or in the Dex settings Contact Us section while I was using Dex.
Kindly share a link to the Samsung site where I can make this request as well.
I'm using shortcutter for immersive mode and the keyboard is running fine. In DeX mode I made shortcut for quick navbar hiding/showing.

When app is in full screen mode the taskbar is hidden.
