I have successfully installed the hotspot mod on my Sprint S4 w/ MK2- but unsure how many users you should be able to support. I think I have been able to connect 2 to it- but shouldn't it support 5?
I'm not trying to light up the neighborhood, just have 5 kids.
it took me forever to find my answer… But from Sprint's support page it says it can support "up to 8". I can only support 2 . Anything I may be doing wrong?
Start your hot spot, then click the configure at the bottom of the hot spot screen. Then you will have to use your finger to slide down inside the pop up window to reveal the check box the "Show advanced options". Click the check box and then use your finger again to scroll up the pop up window and you will see the options you want.

Hi All
I've just (stupidly?) upgraded the firmware on my Galaxy Note 3 to the new 4.4.2. I use the built-in web browser and have discovered that despite being able to have a number of windows open simultaneously (I currently have nine according to the tab in the top right corner), I'm only able to preview a maximum of four and can no longer scroll through all the open pages and tap on the one I want to access. If I close a page, one that I already have open pops up at the bottom, and if I open a new page, the oldest one gets bumped from the list but seems to still be open.
I've been through the settings available and can't seem to find any options to change this. Has anyone experienced this and knows how to fix it? Otherwise I'm open to any suggestions
Thank you!

Nook Color running CM 7.2 just started showing X and Y coordinates for touch events and don't know where the pointer option is located to disable this. I've gone into the Developer section under the apps, and there isn't a section there to remove or disable this either. Where might I find the option to disable this feature of seeing the X and Y coordinates and crosshairs when you touch the screen?
In effect, my 4 year old, who's tablet this is, never said that this effect was enabled, and it only happened in the past week. He doesn't know how or where he enabled it, and honestly, that makes sense because the desktop is locked down. He only has access to certain icons for his games, can't get into the apps or settings without the password, and always has to bring it to his mother or myself. There is even a firewall with the same basic setup. It's locked down.
I've gone through what I believe an exhaustive check through every option and just cannot find the pointer options like I can on my other android devices.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for this. Even though this isn't where it was, I found an icon for Dev Tools, I went into Development Settings, and there was a pointer location/no pointer location drop down. Totally different from what everyone else kept telling me, but it just happened to be under another section and option.
Thanks for the nudges, otherwise I would have reset the thing and started over. It's been running for years, and now I know what he got into... .just don't know how.
Thanks again.

I know it has been talked about before but I can't find the topic
Does anyone know if this feature is going to be usible on the phone? There are settings for it. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/02/04/b61ecefd2919e7ca960d97296164cb47.jpg[/IMG
is it a software thing or is just not compatible with the hardware?
I talk with Samsung tech support but trying to get help from them is worse then try to get help from a 5 year old using google]

If you are talking about air view with finger and air gestures there is a way to activate them but air gesture with the music app or at the lockscreen won't work you can either try xnote rom it has it built in or an app called note 4 hidden settings on Google play also you can try quick shortcut maker app scroll down until you find the settings app and there you can find air view or air gestures hidden settings and many many more

Not all settings work which ones do you want? Air view with finger works for me but I get touching problems it's like I have to be slower with my finger when touching or dragging my finger the pen works fine it is only when I touch with my finger....quick glance also works but you will have to install the app from a note 3 rom what I can't get to work is music air gestures and lockscreen....
Just want the air view with finger

hi,
i have Note 4 N910F Snapdragon,
rooted. Airview with finger works sometimes (if you have enabled all correct settings) but just later, fail to work again. i also miss this feature
and have tried most of advice in different threads here at XDA.
No luck. Root is not required.
From what i can understand
Samsung conveniently left out some
"parts/scripts /? "required for Airview with finger to work. 100%
Yes the setting is there to enable etc.
But other" parts" . is missing.
Bad luck, i used to use Airview with
finger a lot on Note 3.
Good luck
Ya out of all of the gimmicky features the put on the devices that was one of the great one but in the name of innovation the a**hats at Samsung don't put it on the new device I swear they have no idea what their customers want or like. And like I said before their customers service and tech support is horrible I think you could get more help from a 5 year old using google then them.
I'm thinking this is the last Samsung device I'm gonna buy unfortunately unless they get their act together because I have been disappointed in the last 2 phones I owned by them and it sucks cuz the note 2 and s3 were awesome.

OK so install quickshortcutmaker from Google play search in activities for the app "settings" click it then a whole bunch of options will appear go down and search for activities related to air view there are more than one you will eventually find them some of them are for the pen some for the finger some for both anyhow click them and there press "try" to open the activity enable the options you want and press back once click on the star shaped button to save it to favorites so you won't have to search for it again but like I said before the options that enable air view with finger make your touch screen respond slower with your finger I don't know if it's just my rom but just a heads up also keep in mind that if you reboot you will have to enable the settings again just go to the activity again and click them off and on I will post some screen shots for you. And I think you are all right this was a cool feature to have on the note both air view with finger and air gesture it's a shame Samsung had to cut it off maybe they are starting to loose their edge after all and yeah maybe I should consider my next phone not being a Samsung one....
I can't find a screen mirroring option anywhere. On the Note 5 it even had a quick toggle. Please don't tell me Samsung removed this feature.
EDIT: Never mind, it's called smart view now.
I've found it not as stable as my note 3 on lollypop , not sure if touch wiz got worse since then
I see a mirror link under "more connections" but that seems to be more for cars. I don't have anything to mirror to personally right now though.
It's called "Smart View" and it does have a quick toggle. It looks like a TV with an arrow pointing to it.
Yes. It's called smart view
If you connected to any device under Smart View, you can use the Quick Connect toggle to easily access it again, it will show up under previously connected devices.
I came across this article talking about how to activate "condensed" display mode on Galaxy S7/ S7 edge. I thought I'll try it myself, I went into Nova Launcher widgets. Clicked on "activities" and enabled condensed mode, I then went searching to see if there is anything else cool looking for. I found in "Settings" after clicked, an activity called "S Pen". When it's clicked, it opens a new menu in Samsung Settings that has all the same options as you would find in Note 5.
Is there a way to use Air Command and other Note 5 S Pen features without actually needing an S Pen or using a custom ROM (which I know can let us use our fingers instead of an S Pen).
It's built into Settings, why would Samsung add it then not let us use it?
If you need help finding the S Pen activity, follow this guide:
http://www.phonearena.com/news/The-Samsung-Galaxy-S7-comes-with-a-hidden-Condensed-display-mode-heres-how-to-activate-it_id79385
Instead of clicking on ".DisplayScalingActivity", scroll down until you see S Pen then click.
