S pen air command

[john09121]

Hi
Please can you help, is there a way to have air command open on the left side of the screen when you remove the s pen?
Thanks

No, but if you tick "Enable floating icon" in S-pen settings you can move the icon to the left side. It will still open on the right but if you tap off the air command icon on the screen the S-pen icon shows up where you moved it last, i.e. the left hand side...
Haven't found anything more permanent than this and don't know if it would survive a reboot but this is the best available until Samsung see's fit to add the option to change sides...
Don't see them doing this any time soon though as the majority of users are right handed...

I'm right handed and I'd like to have it on the left two, lol! Call me crazy, but I wish the fingerprint scanner was on the opposite side. I hold my phone in my left hand and tap with my right. Most times I open the phone with my right hand since my right index finger naturally hits the sensor. Then I switch hands. I'm trying to train my left index finger to hit the sensor, but it's awkward.

One of the notes had an button to move it. So maybe if you bug samsung enough they will add it in an update.

I write with my left hand, but can hold and use my phone with either hand.
Even use the spen with my right, just cant write with it lol...

Don't know but if you press the button on the S-Pen over either side of the screen it will open the air command on the same side. So, if you click it on the left side of the display you got the air commands in that area. Same on the right. Hope that helps.

I am left handed. You can move it over. The problem is when you first pull out the pen it always on the right side. After you close it it'll move over to the left side. One of the leaves I have about this phone. Lol I wish they made a left handed version and put the pen silo on the left. I'd pay a little extra for that lol. I serious!

Oh if you set the thing that makes it do something like open air command or create a note. If you set it to do nothing the thing appears on the side you left it.

Looking into it you can actually tick "Do nothing" when removing the pen and have moved to icon to the left side. Does mean you have to tap the icon to bring up air commands though.

When you have it set to aur commands it will always open it up on the right side. When you tap outside it will minimize and go to the side you have it set to. When you have it do nothing it will just have it minimized on the side you have air command at. So you would have to tap it to open it.

I wish it was like the older notes where there was an actual setting where you can pick the side and it would stay that side.

I already called in and sent a few emails about it. It was missing in the Note 7 as well but it did stay on the side you put it on.

Unfortunately 1 or 2 people complaining about it won't cut it. You need a lot of people to complain before Samsung will even pay attention. Guarantee'd your email has been relegated to the Spam drawer or the Trashcan before even being read....
I'm sure a lot of random people send email's that aren't deemed "read worthy".

Of course left handed people rarely get loved lol. Been that way for thousands of years.
