Side Bar - Galaxy Note II General

Hello,
I've recently upgraded from the Note to the Note 2 and I'm over the moon. Everything about this new device improves on the first and I'm so glad I upgraded.
My only gripe is this side bar that has mysteriously appeared and appears on every screen no matter what I'm doing and I don't know how to get rid of it.
As you can see in the attached image its a little tab on the left of the screen

"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
that slides out to reveal a tray of applications but it's completely redundant and just frustrating.
Does any one know how to remove it?

Never mind someone just started a thread asking the exact same question while I was making this. Please can this one be closed?
Thanks!

That is multi windows slide bar....... Long press on back button will give that result

Just goes to show, one man's trash is another man's treasure... a week ago everyone was looking for multi view this week everyone wondering why the bar is so intrusive

Digitizer Drawing Test

Has anyone thought to download the drawing program from motolabs and check to see how well the X10s screen performs? They did a test on the Nexus, Droid, iPhone and others and it was published a few weeks ago. If those that have the phone could try this, I would be interested to see the results.
have you got a link or do you know what it is called on the market? just checked for digitizer and motolabs but couldnt find anything..

I don't think there is an app, they just used whatever note taking app was available for each OS as far as I understand it.

Thats the link to the test page. The drawing apps used are listed and SimplyDraw was used for the Nexus and iPhone. I would try that app and see what kind of results you get.
@awtryau89 cheers for the web address!
doing the test as they did, but with an app called Draw(er), this is what i got...

the screen seems to perform better when the lines went diagonally down from the right, than diagonally down from the left. also, the far left and right hand sides of the screen don't seem to pick up any input for the last few mms - the left side being the worst.
if anyone else cares to try and see if they get better results, please post it, as it would be nice to see this verified on another x10.

Default Messaging apps bug

Hello,
I made the last update for android (2.3.4) yesterday and now , my sms messaging app is ...hum...strange...
Let's see that with a nice picture (uuuuh)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When I start typing the sms , the box become to big and my text have a wrong position in the text box (in RED)
Also , I would like to know if it was possible to delete the images button (in BLUE) because i'll never use it and it take a big part of the screen
Thanks and sorry for my bad english
It's always been like that for me, and even then I don't think these really qualify as bugs but rather features you're not interested in. Perhaps you should try some of the third party messaging apps, they're often more customisable

Afraid I cant help as I never use the stock app, but pretty certain others noticed something similar.

The bug was the red thing
It's not a bug... It is how Sony Ericsson wants the app to look... and I think it is really annoying...

I have the same, but it doesnt annoy me.
Its different to how i have had it in the past on other phones, but as im not writing essays I hadnt noticed it until I saw it here

Red Status Bar Battery Icon?

Hey all, I'm having a bit of a problem finding something I thought would be really easy to find
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
See how in the screen shot in the top left side of my status bar there is a red battery icon? I need an app that does just that. It needs to display a RED battery icon (that isn't really tiny) and preferably looks very close to those one or gives me some kind of variety
I've been looking for something like this, a simple red batter notification icon, for about a month with only the one result that I'm using now. What I'm using now is called "Simple Battery Widget" the problem with it is every 5-20 minutes it pops up with a "Simple Battery has crash blah blah" which is really annoying then it stops showing the correct battery level... So I'm getting tired of it that's why I'm asking you guys if you know of an app that will get me what I want...
Alternately, if there is a way to get red text up there I'd like that much more

Notification Panel Button(What is the button like a slider?)

Hello guys,
After some updates, I noticed a button like a slider on notification panel but it is not active.
I could not slide right side or something like that. It seems fixed button.
What was that?
do a long press on it and it should bring up app info for the app that created it. then just click on the i symbol

It could not push long press or something. It is fixed.
I know this option but it is not that. I posted an image now. :good:

that's not a notification. it looks like a tab to bring up a side bar or news service, could be a horizontal homescreen indicator (haven't used tw in years sorry), does it move or stay still ?
to sum up, I don't know sorry

Note 4 Display turns on by itself or minimal touches

Hello, friends of the Note 4.
Im note sure if i am right here to ask about a specific problem.
Like i mentioned in the headline, the display of my phone turns on by minimal touches it seems, for example if i take the phone in my hand but not puch any button. Can be that it also turns on without toches, im not so sure.
The effect is hardly reproducable though, by handling the phone rougher just to see if the display turns on. Not sure.
Im a little stumped by this problem, since it didnt changed by flashing another rom. Im a little afraid that it could be a hardware problem... Hope not.
Do you have any advice for me what to try or in what direction to look for a solution?
Thanks!
Quick Glance on for some reason? LOL!

What even is Quick Glance? I use a Note 7 rom, by the way... Just truned off smart stay. It will take time to see if it solved the problem.
I think this problem is related to the apps that can appear on top like pie control, drup or any other 3rd party apps. So try to disable them one by and see which app is causing this problem. Cheers
