no it does not..
and no option "full screen check uncheck" to have always the bar at the top...
rather disappointing

Use the Navigation Ball to enable or disable Full Screen in apps. Just set the Full Screen option for one of the buttons on the Navigation Ball. Very easy to do. I use it all the time.

I know that's what I do, but I prefer "check uncheck" in optimization or Settings, I don't like the nav ball...

I’m just glad it went back to having the note taking menu bar on the top and side instead of all at the top, covering the top portion of the writing area on my Note Pro.

I’m glad the ability to long press an app and get to the config screen is back. Thanks for that. But please put the full screen option back into the settings screen. For those of us with smaller screens (like the Nova and Poke Pro) the nav ball just takes up too much space. I’m constantly having to move it out of the way when using different apps. Drives me nuts. The only reason I need it now is for the full screen switch.

Is the update okay?

Did they fix the poke bug where it doesn't detect a long press at first? I asked them to fix it but gave up asking after about six months.

What is this nav ball? Sounds like I better not update. The poke is small and I don't want unwanted stuff crowding the screen.

it is a configurable software that adds a software button to the screen that you can move freely and when you click it, it opens a small sub-menu of buttons with 4 options, like config app, page down, page up, close app, etc.

As they removed the physical buttons, now they depend on it until they add android gestures to have a semi-decent user experience on the new devices with only a physical home button.

I am happy with the update and the changes you onyx made, but I really notice everything more slow. Web browsing, scrolling webs, managing apps.

Hope you can fix it somehow and returned it to as fluent as it was two updates ago

EDIT: It certainly runs slower. As a user with extreme eye strain problems I use eReader to watch videos, and youtube videos freezes the image from time to time. Also the gray scale on A2 mode (I think) is not as good as it was before those two last updates. The screen is full with zones of one grey tone, and then anotherzone with a different grey tone. in other words: the degraded of grey are not as smooth as before. Switching to X mode it is solved, but sacrifing a lot of image quality.

I will try to downgrade flashing to the firmware version previous of all those refreshing methods, in some days. I was thinking in buying the Note2 but if this is what I have to find there I will surely not do it.

wtf - resting hand on surface brings up 'zoom' window? broken update

I got the new update - disappointed they didn't get rid of that stupid icon that appears in full screen Notes now.

But worse, now when I rest my hand on the screen to start writing, a window pops up in the upper right, a minimized view of the screen, and the screen flashes, and I can't write. What the hell. Is there any way to make that not happen? It says something about scaling minimized or something.
Why do they keep making things WORSE in these updates?

Is there any way to go back to the firmware from two updates ago without losing all the content on my device?

You are right. I noticed it 20min ago. Now what we have to do is disable the touch sensitiveness. It's a workaround meanwhile they fix it for the next update
