[Q] SMS View - Enable Split Not Working

---

Hello every one!

I have a very strange problem on my device with the settings under the stock SMS application on my note 2. The phone is fully stock, no root nothing.

In the settings of the SMS application i have the 'Enable split view on landscape screen' selected. But i cant seem to get the setting to actually work.

Before i used to be able to turn the phone into landscape mode and the screen would half into a list of threads on the left and a reading\review pane on the right to see the messages for a thread or contact. Now it seem that the setting doesnt seem to work at all!

The phone used to also do this when i was using the gmail app but has stopped suddenly and has really baffled me!

just to be clear the phone does switch into landscape mode as required but the setting 'enable split view on landscape view' doesnt take effect at all within the SMS settings.Im just left with a list of sms threads which i have to open to see rather than review in the right side.

i have trawled the net to no avail! couldn't find any answers on this particular issue.

By the way i have used the site religiously over the past few years without having the need to even post or even join up! what a brilliant resource. keep up the good work guys!

Anyone else have the same problem??
