Floating Apps? - Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers

On my old Note 10.1 2014 Edition, there is a way to turn apps into "floating apps". Its like having an app run in windowed mode, and can be moved around the screen. With the Tab S3 I can not seem to find this function. Anyone know if this is still possible?

Yes, for some apps you can drag the app from the top right corner and make it into window mode. You have to make sure pop up view action under multiwindows settings is enabled.

Maps on PA

I've tried every configuration and cannot get Maps to use the phone UI-it always displays in tablet mode with the interface icons at the top of the screen instead of the bottom. I love PA but I much prefer the phone UI for maps and navigation.
I'm running C&C rather than straight PA. Is there any way to force the phone UI?

Go into the PA settings and choose the apps tab, i bet its set to tablet mode on that specific app. Just change the DPI and everything.

LastPass icon suddenly keeps appearing?

Hi.
I've been using LastPass and the fill in helper for ages now.
Just the other day it has started sowing it's logo in the notification tray but at times when there aren't even log ins for it to fill in.
Any ideas why or how to get rid?

I do not have it yet but it seems you are running a newer version.
Go to Settings > App > Lastpass and uncheck the notification icon.
Unchecking the notification option in Settings will guarantee that you'll never see it again, even when you need it. Careful.

Did you find an option to uncheck in the settings? I'm still on the old version...
Yes, there's quite a few fill helper settings and you can disable. I wouldn't mind if it was there at the right times but often it's not is won't be there when you do want it!

Chrome 68 and tab switcher

Hello, Im in Global 7.1, and Chrome was updated to 68.0.3440.91, now tab switcher is like 2010 phone tab switcher:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Before this stupid update (in 66.xxx), tab switcher was like this:
Is any way to fix this?

Many thanks!!!!
i followed this:
"I found the solution on Reddit. It turns out another app (not chrome) that was granted accessibility access was somehow triggering Chrome's own accessibility tab switching. I turned off accessibility access to all the apps that had it one by one until it fixed the issue"
In my case "longshot" app was enabled in accesibility settings
. I disabled It and at the moment the "modern" tab switcher was working!!

Strange update request on phone.

Anyone ever seen this update window appear? Is it safe? Is it spam from an unsafe installed app?

It's an update for MIUI's "app vault". It's safe.

Excellent. Thank you very much.

I really hate the vault, so limited in function to a point that it's useless.
Luckily it can be turned off by going through Settings -> System & Device -> Home Screen & Recents -> App Vault
(just in case it hasn't been noticed.)

Where the hell...

I can't find the clear all apps in recents option. I'm sure I saw it there before. Anybody know?
You have to go all the way to the end. Like to the first app that was opened then you will see the option to clear all the apps.. Annoying I know

Yeah well I've done that. All the way to the left. It's just not there anymore.
Dunno. It's on mine with all the latest updates

Well, this is driving me crazy.
You have to be on the stock launcher to see it. As of now no 3rd party launcher supports it.
