No pop up browser

It doesn't exist. You have pen window though.
Just downloaded pop-up browser from the Playstore. IMO it's better than Samsung's anyways.

Nope, there's no more pop up browser, shame.
Pen Window is great. No worries.

Can you do that? For example when I am on Facebook, and there is a blue link to read the all stories from a post, I click it and appears the pop up browser. ..can you do that on note 3?

People, are you serius ? Have you ever used the pop-up browser ? In what way the Pen Windows can replace the pop-up browser ? IT CAN'T !!! :crying::crying:
Every Link you have, on Note 2, you can open it with pop-up browser, so it mean that if you are on hangout / facebook / whateveryouwant you can open a link in the pop-browser, so you can follow 2 things at time. Pen Windows can't open link in other app, so it can't replace the pop-up browser !

Just downloaded popup browser from the play store it's quite like the old popup browser but not for me at the moment I uninstalled it.I do not miss the old popup browser the new multitasking is better.But my old phone was a note 1 so maybe popup on 2 was better
pen windows as popup browser
On my Note 1 if I have the browser running in split mode, any link I click in the other half will be opened here. I'd think pen window would act the same.
A Note 3 owner please confirm this:
1. Create a pen window
2. minimize it
3. click on a link in facebook (or whatever app)
4. Does it activate pen window?
if it does, I think pen window will be an improvement for popup browser, which I am also a big fan of on the Note 1.

My twitter feed i click on link and open chrome browser in a resizeable /switchable popup !!
( i do not know about facebook,as i don't really use it on my phone )
post edit
second screenshot i clicked on link in my gmail ..same results with blue icon options etc..!!!.
also to be clear i achieve this not by using multi window side bar, but in relevant standalone app itself,clicking on link..etc///( e.g tweetcaster ...gmail...)

It's not the same, it's a workarount !
In that way you need to use multiwindows and you need to open 2 apps and this mean that the apps with links is compatible with multiwindows. With pop-up browser it's not needed (you can also disable multiwindows) and it's more fast and usable on the go.
Click on Link => Open in pop-up browser
Easy, no multiwindows, no more steps, Nothing Else.
You are not convincted ?
Easy Diagram Steps
Note 3 with no pop-up browser
1)Open Multiwindows
2)Drag the Internet app
3)Drag the Compatible App
4)Click on the central blue point and choose the apposite tool
5)Drag and Drop the link on the Internet navigation bar
AMAZING !!! So fast, few steps and .... compatible with all apps ... Ah wait, only with multiwindows compatible app
Note 2 With pop-up browser
1) Open whatever you want app and click the link
2) Choose to open in pop-up browser
Few steps, compatibile with all apps, fastest ..... Don't think i'll use multiwindows to open link instead of a pop-up browser :laugh:
BTW I'll use the app "Browser window", but this a big missing in Note 3
The way I, and I think a lot of people, use pop-up browser is to click on a link in another app (EG: e-mail) and have the browser content display less than full-screen so the original app (EG: e-mail) doesn't lose focus so you can close the browser content and continue where you left off. The N3 does this automatically. At least mine does. This is clicking on an advert link from within an e-mail. I don't have to "open" or "split" anything to get it to behave this way; it just does.
Pen window as popup browser
I mentioned multi window only as an example. My suggestion is to have a pen window browser minimized, and then click on a link in any app.
Is it directed into the pen-window-browser or a full screen browser is started?
I don't yet have an N3 to check it on

So you get the multi-wndow browser behavior out of the box without applying any particular settings? I can't get mine to do it without first firing up the browser in a multi-window.
I've used pop up browser, Pen window is just as good

Google started as a search engine, and todaytheir main priority and focusis still that. Today, it’s known as the father of all the search engines, and Google planned to take their mobilesearch experienceto nextlevel. Introducing Google Handwrite, which allow theuser to search by writing letters with your finger most anywhere on your device display. Like if you don’t wantto type because you just hate it, or you aresomewhere in a crowded street corner, or stuck in a box, then this is your way out for an accurate search. Have a lookon the video:

It’s funnywhen you are on a treadmill and searching for cupcakes, ironic right? Thefeatureisavailable for Android 2.3+ phones and Android 4.0+ tablets, and to activatethis feature, go to Google.com in your mobilebrowser, tap on Settingsand enable “Handwrite” and you aregood to go. Anyway, it’s an amazing addition byGoogle and I am sure people will appreciateit. Tell me what do you thinkabout this feature?

is it an app , then pls share the .apk , if its a setting pls elaborate how to enable it
This is just feature inside stock browser
open google search page
select 'setting' near bottom of page
and select 'Enable' in Handwrite
After Enabling It Click on the G button appears on the right bottom corner as shown in video and start typing
Guys it works with Chrome browser as well. Tried firefox, but therr is no option.
What u need to do is
open Google.com
Scroll down and click on Settings ( dont click on your phone menu key).
Under "Handwriting" select enable
Thats it, pretty smart recognition engine compare to samsung keyboard.

So it seems that only certain apps work with multi-screen and it is not just samsung apps.
Here I plan (with your help) to create a difinitive list of all apps that will work.
I have already noticed that some apps allow themselves to be splitscreened even when they do not appear in that list e.g. official twitter app.
Some apps you will find when you press the edit button, you can then drag them to the main list, or remove ones you do not use.
Samsung Apps
- ChatON
- Email
- Gallery
- Internet
- Messaging
- S-Note
- Video Player
Google Apps
- Chrome
- Gmail
- Maps
- Talk
- Youtube
Third Party Apps
- Facebook
- Official Twitter app
- Polaris (Viewer)
Note: you will need to be using Samsung stock keyboard to benefit from typing when on multi-screen mode, otherwise your keyboard will cover the entire bottom screen.
I just installed the official Twitter app and it is now in the multiscreen menu tab

weird its not showing up for me, did you login to the app? maybe its because I have not logged in?
What about S-planner and Calculator app? I would think these would be two of the most useful to use multi-screen, or at least floating over the screen like the galaxy tabs.

a '*' denotes that the app works in split screen but cannot be selected from the list, it must be activated first then another added as the second screen, therefore two apps with the '*' will not be able to be paired together.

Thanks for the info. Bewildering why they would leave out calculator and S-planner from split screen. Two apps that would seem to benefit most from it.
Maybe Samsung will add more apps at future firmware updates.

This should be an easy one to answer for those who have been running stock roms. I see all the time on the Samsung promo view the user taking an image from the browser and moving it via SPen directly into S Notes. I'm not referring to clipping to the scrapbook, but a live transfer from one multi window to the other. Thanks in advance for the help.

Yes, you can. A handle appears on the object you lassoed and you can drag it to another application that’s open in multiview. A menu also comes up at the bottom allowing you to open an alternate application to insert the object in to. You have to be fast. If you don't make a choice in five seconds the default is to send it to the clipboard. This is in JB, I don't remember if it was the same in ICS.
Thanks, I've been wondering the same. I'm not able to lasso the image despite pressing down on the side button. Please advise. Thanks.

All you need to do is completely connect a line around whatever you want to capture while pressing the button on the S Pen and it automatically cuts it out. Are you on ICS? I don't think it was available until JB.

You can do it in multi window by having the two apps open, taking a screen shot of the window you want to crop and cropping/lassoing then dragging. 4.0 allows this

I love android but for all the bragging Google makes about "real " multitasking I find it really lacking, let's say you get an email and you have an attachment you download and open the picture but then someone calls you and you finish the call you press the multitasking button and want to open the picture again but the gallery is not "open" ist not in the recent apps /multitasking list and if you try to open the gallery by yourself with the launcher or a shortcut the picture you were watching a couple of minutes is not there because "gmail open the picture with the gallery but the gallery is not being used " , then you try to go to gmail then to see your picture there but surprise ! The picture is closed and your back on your mail , you have to reopen/ redownload your picture

Are you sure you havn't played with the number of allowed background apps setting in developer options?
Nexus4 has 2GB of RAM, plenty to support the apps you mention.... Android will only start closing background when when memory is low, and form oldest first.
I don't know how exactly android works, but this is my guess on why things happen as you've mentioned.
Each screen in android is called an Activity. When gmail opens picture, it is not opening the entire gallery app.
It's just opening an activity within gallery app to display a picture.Which is why the gallery app is not in multi-tasking list.

If you were to press back you'd go back to the image and such and as a matter a fact i prefer it this way. I don't want every image I view from email to be in my gallery as I didn't save it. The view attachments is a preview of said image. If a call comes in then and it looses focus it I wouldn't expect to go back to the Gallery and find it there since that's not where it was in the first place (even though the Gallery App was the one that opened it. That's like watching videos online then later in the day going back to gallery to expect to find that same video).

If this is happening then it is very likely a problem with the application. Android has a great structure in place for multitasking, but developers also have to do their part to make sure their app works as expected.

If you exit gmail application with the gallery activity still open, of course the picture would appear again when you return. That is live multitasking.

There is an app called PVStar+ (or similar) which allows you to play Youtube in the background. I use it to listen to concerts...
Anytime you get interrupted with a phone call, complete your call, press back, and your gallery image would appear.
The real answer, I just opened gmail, went to an email with image attached, opened in gallery, then press home. Hit multitask key, and the gallery image appears with the gmail icon and name. So the multitask works correctly like it should. Not sure why this thread states otherwise.

No, no you're getting me wrong , what i mean is that it would be better if when you open the gallery the image should be there until you close the gallery when you close it then the picture should be gone which brings me to my other complain, the multitasking button should really kill the apps , not just delete them from the list, well not really kill them since android has to keep the apps "open in the background" just reset them to their "stock state" just so that the background syncing/notifications still work

Well maybe gmail was a bad example, but you have to admit that the way multitasking works in android is very patchy and not only on third developer apps
AW: Multitasking needs some serious improvements :'(
Apps do not multitask at all on Android, only services do. When an app goes to the background, the OS asks it to pause and save its state. When it comes back to foreground, the OS asks the app to resume and load its state. This creates the illusion of multitasking, because the app continues where you left, but only works if the app developer follows the guidelines.
Have you seen that Note 3 has no more pop-up browser of Note 2?
Why is that?
I understand now with pen window we have more choices , but when i want to open a link or something, i wont have a choice to have a small window...? I have to use the spen, make a box , select internet and copy-paste the link i already have opened in the full browser?
I also noticed (from the videos I've seen that is) that pop up browser is no longer one of the options.
ALL apps should have this functionality, if not, then thats Samsungs stupid fault and will hopefully be quickly resolved by developers HERE @ XDA
I guess it's becouse of box.
Draw a box on your screen and open the browser in it... No more need for popup browser imo
