friends
Post here your expreince regaeding your note 3 such app , home screan, setting and other.
Thanks,
:good:
#1 – Never lose your S Pen!
The S Pen is integral to the power of the Galaxy Note 3 – not something you want to lose. Here’s how you can set the Note 3 to alert you that you may have left the stylus behind:
Go to Settings > Controls > S Pen
Uncheck “Turn off pen detection”
Check S Pen keeper
This will only work when the screen is off, and if you press “okay” when it warns you once, it won’t warn you again until you redock the S Pen and leave it behind again. So be careful!
#2 – Control your Galaxy Note 3 while wearing gloves
The capacitive screen on the Note 3 isn’t only good for writing and drawing with a stylus, it can also be set to operate while wearing gloves, but you’ve got to enable the option:
Go to Settings > Controls > Increase touch sensitivity (it’s the very last option)
Turn this ON!
#3 – Type with one hand
The Galaxy Note 3 is HUGE which may turn some small-handed people away, but if difficulty in one-handed typing is a concern, please know you can adjust your keyboard accordingly!
Go to Settings > Controls > One-handed operation
Check “Use for all screens”
Only check other boxes if you want them automatically resized all the time
The S Pen also makes typing with Swype an absolute pleasure… give that a try as well!
#4 – Block notifications while you’re sleeping
You don’t want to miss an important call or text from a family member or friend in case of emergency, but notifications from apps and drunk dialing idiots threaten to keep you up all night. And those stinking LED notification lights are BRIGHT! Luckily the Note 3 has a feature for this specific problem called “Blocking Mode”:
Go to Settings > Device > Blocking Mode (the last option)
Turn the feature on
Press “Blocking Mode” to set options
UNCHECK “Turn alarm and timer” unless you want to be late for work
UNCHECK “Always” and set the time period you’re sleeping (otherwise turn this feature on/off at night and in the morning)
MAKE SURE you set your list of “Allowed Contacts” who can bypass this feature (family, friends, booty calls, etc…)
#5 – Lower the screen saturation and contrast
Is Samsung’s outrageously bright and colorful Super AMOLED screen a little TOO bright and colorful? You can do more than lower the screen brightness and instead tone down the contrast and saturation:
Go to Settings > Device > Display > Screen Mode
Select “Professional photo” or “Movie” to tone down the screen if you feel the colors are too vibrant
It doesn’t have a huge impact but it can certainly help.
#6 – Vibrations too strong?
The default notification vibrations are pretty darn strong! You can turn them down:
Go to Settings > Device > Sound > Vibration Intensity
Adjust your incoming call, notification, and haptic feedback vibrations as you see fit!
You can also set your phone to vibrate even when ringing (great if you’re at a bar, party, concert, or other loud place) and change the pattern of the vibration from the same settings area.
#7 – Show the battery percentage in the status bar
It can be really annoying trying to guess how much battery you have left by estimating how much of your little icon is filled up with green. We want numbers! Here is how you can put your exact percentage in the notification bar:
Go to Settings > Device > Display
Scroll down and select “Show battery percentage”
Ah… much more helpful.
#8 to #12 – Motion controls annoying? Only enable these!
Samsung has a boat load of features that detect your eyes and your hands and attempt to behave automatically based on your intents. Most can be annoying but some are pretty useful. I recommend turning ALL of them off except the following. Go to the Settings > Controls > Motion Control section for all of the below:
See notifications without touching your phone!
Air gesture > Quick Glance > On. Wave your hand over the screen for a quick look at notifications. (Turn Air jump, Air browse, and Air call-accept off)
Added Stylus hovering functionality!
Air view mode > On > Auto. This provides extra features when hovering over items with the S Pen, for example popping up larger images when browsing the gallery or scrolling pages up/down. Open “Air view pen options” to see exactly where it works.
Special Air Command Features!
Air Command > On: Quickly add recent attachments and frequent recipients by hovering over these respective fields
Turn both Motions & Palm Motions OFF
Prevent screen from sleeping when you’re looking at it!
Smart Screen > Smart stay > On. Uncheck the rest of these features.
#13 – Search for settings
Already overwhelmed? You can now search your settings to more easily find hidden options!
From the home screen press the Menu button
Select “Settings”
Tap “Search” at the top and have at it! Don’t forget this feature is here… it’s very useful.
#14 – Customize your quick settings buttons
Prefer to have different quick setting toggles in your notification bar? You can change them easily:
Pull down the notification bar
Tap the square icons at the top right
Tap the pencil icons at the top right
Drag available buttons to the Notificaion panel (you’ll have to replace an existing button)
Re-order as you like by dragging and dropping
#15 to #18 – Customize your lock screen
Your lock screen can be more than just a lock screen… you’ve just got to set it up. You can find all of these options in:
Settings > Device > Lock Screen.
15) Add quick launch icons to your lock screen.
Shortcuts > On. Further customize by tapping the icons and selecting your own quick launch apps!
16) Add widgets to your lock screen
Multiple Widgets > On > Favorite Apps. The “Camera” option is relatively useless since you can set a quick launch icon (above) to your camera and it launches much more quickly and smoothly.
17) Personalize with contact info and personal message
If you lose your phone, it’s helpful if your screen shows your contact information so a good samaritan can help you retrieve your device. You might also want to add a little of your own pizzaz.
18) Create a memo without unlocking
Action Memo on lock screen > On. To create an “Action Memo” without unlocking your phone, simply hold down the S Pen button and tap anywhere on the lock screen twice. An Action Memo note will immediately pop up at your disposal! Make sure the setting is enabled in
#19 to #25 – Home Screen Shortcuts
When you’re on the home screen the following buttons provide extra functionality.
19) Hold back button to enable/disable Multi Window
20) Double Press Home Button for S Voice
21) Hold Home button for Recent Apps and access to RAM Manager and Google Now
22) Press Home Button for My Magazine
23) Swipe up from the home button for My Magazine
24) Hold Menu Button for S Finder
25) Press Menu Button to edit your Home Screens, access settings, and read help docs
#26 – Prevent Air Command from launching when stylus removed
Air Command is greatly, but you might get restless if the menu pops up EVERY time you remove the Stylus. You can choose to turn this off (or toggle to automatically open Action Memo, which is probably more annoying).
Go to Settings > Controls > S Pen > Pen detachment options
Select “None”
#27 – Capture screen without S Pen & Screen Writer
To get a screen capture without using Air Command, simply hold the Home and Power Button at the same time. You can also prevent the screen captures from entering edit mode by going to Settings > Device > Display > Edit after screen capture (the last option)
#28 – Turn your phone into a Senior Citizen Saver
Did you buy the Galaxy Note 3 for Grandma or Grandpa because they don’t need a telescope to read the print on the HUGE 5.7 inch screen? Make things even simpler by transforming their phone into an incredibly basic layout that’s hard to NOT understand.
Go to Settings > Device > Easy Mode
Turn it on!
#29 – Display your app drawer in alphabetical order
If you’ve got a ton of apps, flipping through page after page to get to something specific can be a hassle. You can change the layout of your app drawer very easily to make it more convenient:
Open you app drawer
Press the menu button
Press “View type”
Select either “Alphabetical list” or “Alphabetical grid” depending on your preference
#30 – Unlock your phone by saying “Hi Galaxy”
I’ve seen many people complain that saying “Hi Galaxy” won’t work and they can’t find the option in the Note’s settings. That’s because the option is actually hidden in the settings of the S Voice app!
Open S Voice (double tap Home Button or open from your app tray)
Press the Menu button
Select “Settings”
Check “Wake up command”
Turn “Voice wake-up” On to activate S Voice even while the screen is off!
Note: “Hi Galaxy” won’t simply unlock you’re phone… it must be followed by a voice command to become useful (see below)

^^ This feature won't work if you have it switched on and the 'Palm Motions' off. So, if you want to use the above feature, make sure to switch the Palm motion on.
Also, there are a lot more features which I thought were not working in my phone at first, but then I realised that we need to switch on some other features to make them work. Hence, if you think that any of the motion feature doesn't works on your phone then switch on all, yes all of them and then try it. It should probably work then!

When I tried this using the timer, it never turned off, I missed a call next morning about a job interview.
Are there any settings elsewhere that interfere?

Hi,
I'm trying OmniROM multi window on a Galaxy Tab2 10.1.
Usually in landscape view.
I've a suggestion - instead of long-press on an app to select "Add to split view", the screen can show Up/Down arrows and the text
a. "Clear from memory" above the app screenshot
b. "Add to Split View" below the app screenshot.
And So the user can swipe upwards on an app screenshot to clear it
OR User can swipe downwards to add the app to split view.
Benefits -
1. Clearly shows the user what's going to happen,
2. Reduces "number of clicks" and speeds up user interaction.

Thank you. I'll notice to change suitable icon for this
Nice app! But you forgot to indicate if this app needs root or not. And I agree with changing pokeball icon into something more like home button in pixel. The white solid dot. Keep up the good work!
Hello guys, I would like to know which Firmware that has the "Capture Screen" in status bar equal to this status bar of the Galaxy C5???
This method worked for me to get the screen recording option on the A51.
Navigate to Settings/Apps/Samsung capture
Press the three-dot icon in the top right corner and select Uninstall updates
Head to this link here or search for Samsung capture in the Galaxy Store app.
Press the update button on the bottom on the app. You should be able to add the screen record option to your quick settings!
Hey Guys,
I have a simple solution for very bad AOD in Huawei Mate 20 Pro. This tasker profile is used for only toggle AOD screen when a specified app sends a notification to smartphone and disable AOD when this notifications are cleared.
It is a very simple solution.
Here is the step one for Toggling AOD when notification received:
1- Go Tasker -> Profiles and touch on bottom right + symbol.
2- Select from list ->Application and select all deserved apps can wake AOD screen and press ->Back
3- Touch "New Task" give it a name (optional obviously) and again press touch bottom right + symbol.
4a- Now you need an action category. Follow Settings -> Custom Settings
4b- Select this settings:
Type: Secure
Name: aod_switch
Value: 1
and press back button. Enable from top of the Tasker application
Here is the step one for Disabling AOD when notification cleared:
1- Go Tasker -> Profiles and touch on bottom right + symbol
2- Select from list ->Application and exactly like did on "Toggling numbor 2" BUT THIS TIME YOU NEED SELECT "INVERT" FROM BOTTOM OF APP SELECTING SCREEN.
3- Touch "New Task" give it a name (again optional obviously) and again press touch bottom right + symbol.
4a- Now you need an action category. Follow Settings -> Custom Settings
4b- Select this settings:
Type: Secure
Name: aod_switch
Value: 0
and press back button. Enable from top of the Tasker application
So, I mean reverting Toggling settings for disabling AOD
And thats it. This is the solution that I figured out myself.
