YouTube won't work with Multi Window?

[PrisonedMuffin]

How do you get YouTube to work with Multi Window? It's not in the apps tray.

 

[superlawyer15]

You can't Verizon disabled it

 

[PrisonedMuffin]

You serious? Damn...

 

[PrisonedMuffin]

Do you have proof of this?

 

[superlawyer15]

Do you have proof of this?

it works on the other carrier varients and the international version

 

[EatMyTracers]

Will we ever be getting it?

 

[PrisonedMuffin]

Not even maps is compatible with Multi Window! What the hell?!

 

[EatMyTracers]

Hopefully they just had bugs and we will end up getting them later.

 

[PrisonedMuffin]

Wow. This makes no sense whatsoever.

 

[kris.richards]

It does suck, but I think we'll get it with the first update we get. No idea why they disabled/forgot/whatever them but they benefit in no way from it, so hopefully we'll see it soon

i checked out the demo today and couldnt figure out how to make any of the apps work in the multi window view . can somebody at least tell me what apps will actually work ?

 

[jsadler09]

Yeah, it's kinda disappointing. The only apps in there are Email (not gmail ), Gallery, Internet, Messaging, Polaris Office, S Note, and Video Player.

I installed super video and it added itself to the multiview bar, so it appears that some apps just need to be coded to support it.

I wonder if someone could pull the Youtube and other missing multi-window apps from a different version of the phone (International or another carrier) and we could slap that on our phones and have them work in multi-window?

If I recall correctly, it only takes about one or two lines of code to make your app recognized by multi-window.

You can use YouTube through the browser and it will work with multi Window feature.

Stop lying. I called Samsung and they said apps like YouTube, Gmail and maps aren't supported yet, but will be in the future. They also went on to say Verizon did not disable any apps for that feature.

He isn't lying.

Galaxy Note 2 multi-window - YouTube

At around 1:04 in that video (and in the still preview frame), you can see the Youtube icon in the multi-window app list. The person demo-ing it actually clicks on and opens up Youtube in multi-window, as well.


If I'm not mistaken, the Note tablet didn't have those apps listed at launch, but there's a decent chance it's getting those apps added in its JB update with the other multi-window features.

I have the International Unlocked GN2 (running on Straight Talk as a test), YouTube, gmail, twitter, facebook, chrome and others are supported in multiview. I picked up the VZW GN2 today and noticed they don't support those, I am taking it back tomorrow. If you are are willing to wait for an update from Verizon, plan on it being a long while. Sorry VZW, this was it for me, your bloatware, lack of vendor provided support, battery life and slow updates...I think I am done.

Ask for proof instead of calling someone a liar. I don't care if it was Samsung or Verizons fault, they held the release of this phone for ovef a month, and yes we did get multi-window but a semi crippled version. I think in a month they. could've figured that out. Oh wait, nevermind, thdy were too busy printing their logo on the home button.

Hopefully they update this pbone faster and more often than they did with my Gnex.

I have an unlocked version and it does work.
