For those of you that didn't know about it, or wondering what happened with this Lollipop feature on our phones, Samsung turned it off by default and it's basically buried under the Lockscreen Menu, if you want to look for it go to Lock Screen and Security- Other Security settings and you will find it there, or even easier, just go to settings and search for Pin Windows.

Go and see what this little nice feature can do, but in a summary, any App or screen you want to have it fixed (Pinned) on your screen just press the Recent Apps buttons and it will allow you to pin it, you won't get out of that screen until long press the Recent Apps again.

I can tell you that for me is very useful because I use a couple of Online Games that are played directly on the browser and you don't have a clue of how many times I've lost or simply needed to begin again because I hit the back or recent apps capacitive buttons. That's just one of the reason but I can think of a couple more.

Curious, what's your "couple more"?
