VARG EX APP

[Jake]

Anyone find a work-around to keep the VARG EX app from opening on top of all other apps you are trying to use? I can't use my onX maps because of this.

Use split screen mode.
How to use split screen on Android:

1. 1. Open the Recent Apps menu:
   Swipe up from the bottom of the screen (or use the navigation button if your phone has one) to view your recently used apps.
   
   
2. 2. Select the first app:
   Tap on the icon of the app you want to use in the top (or left) part of the split screen.
   
   
3. • 3. Activate Split Screen:
     Tap the app icon and select the "Split Screen" option.
     
   • 4. Choose the second app:
     Select the second app you want to use from the recent apps list or open a new one.
     
   • 5. Adjust the divider:
     You can adjust the size of each app's portion of the screen by dragging the divider line up or down.

Thank you. That Actually worked. If fools the phone into thinking the VARG app is running because it is, in the background. Still a little wonky that we have to do that but it's much more helpful than what the Stark folks were telling me.
