What’s new with this software update?

• This update provides an important security fix to the embedded Exynos chipset in the Galaxy Note 2, and installs the
  “Multi-Window View” feature on your phone.

How do I access the Multi-Window View?

• To activate the Multi-Window View feature, pull down the notification bar and slide it to the right. “Multi-Window View” is last on the menu. When it is green, the feature is active.

Return to the home screen. Press and hold the “return” key (on the right). An icon will appear on the left side of the screen.

Slide the icon towards the center of the screen. A pop-up list of apps will appear which can be opened in a second window.  The apps list can be modified using the  “Edit” feature.

Select an app and drag it towards the centre of the screen to open it in a new window.

In the illustration below, the Videotron Portal was opened using the Browser, while a second window was opened by selecting the YouTube app.

This is the Multi-Window View mode; the two windows function independently.  To exit the Multi-Window View feature, simply drag the border of the desired window across the entire screen and the second screen will disappear.
