>>>APOLOGIES IF THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN COVERED - but **I** can't find anything definitive on it for the HD2<<<
I used to use AEButtonPlus on my HD to scroll up and down in lists etc, so to avoid opening each item etc - does anyone know if either AEButtonPlus is compatible [not mentioned in the Wiki] or if there's a way to do this (scroll without opening each item)?
Many thanks in advance
It just takes a little practice. Make sure you don't tap the screen (tapping = a short touch in one place). To stop a scrolling list, put your finger down and keep it down. If you slightly drag the screen instead of keeping your finger in one place, this avoids accidental selection as well.
Also, many screens still have a hidden scroll bar on the right.
Don't know if AUButtonPlus works on the HD2.
AEButtonPlus works and you can map the volume, Start and OK/back buttons.
Brilliant - thanks guys
I use the stock browser alot, with the thumb controls for the menu and what not. What irritates me the most is if I swipe my thumb to close to the edge of the top or bottom of the screen to open the options tab then select the settings menu, and it would open up half the menu outside the screen out of view. Is there no way to fix this so the menu drops down into view? Could this possibly be implemented? Because I don't always hold my xoom perfectly, and I know I can't be the only person this annoys.
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?

So MX Player finally has playback speed adjustment (yay!) but unfortunately the method of accessing it cumbersome (if you don't want to use gestures). Fortunately that's just a UI issue (which I suspect is considerably easier to fix than implementing the speed control in the first place).
The problems that I see are a follows:
1. You have to dig down several menus deep to reach it.
2. The speed control overlay remains permanently on screen and does not hide with the rest of the onscreen controls. If you close it because you want to see the full screen without the clutter, then every time you want to make a speed adjustment you have to drill back down through the menu, make the adjustment, and then close the window again.
3. Once the playback speed adjustment overlay window has been closed, there is no longer any visual feedback as to the current playback speed.
4. Because the playback speed control is a separate overlay window (rather than being attached to the rest of the onscreen controls) it jumps around all over the place when the other controls appear and disappear (causing mis-clicks if, for example, you are trying to repeatedly tap the + or - buttons to adjust speed).
What I would like to propose is a single speed control icon button (with digits showing the current playback speed) that displays as part of the regular onscreen controls. For example, it could be placed next to the HW+ button on the top control bar (although if I had my own way, I would move the lock button up next to the HW+, then move the 'fit to screen' to where the lock button was (to the left of the rewind / go back button), and then put the new playback speed button in it's place (to the right of the fast forward button). But that's just me.
Anyway, regardless of positioning, it would be incredibly useful to always be able to see the current playback speed with just with a single tap (because it would display as part of regular oncreen controls) as well as being able to easily adjust speed with from the main screen without having to drill through menus.
A slider control would allow quick adjustment of large speed changes instead of having to go tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, and it would make speed adjustments more fluid from a usage point of view. The slider could still be 'notched' to adjust in steps if the user drags slowly (so that reaching an exact playback speed value can be achieved if required).
Another idea that I've just had is perhaps there could be an option to display the speed control slider by long-pressing the play button. That seems as intuitive a place to control playback speed as anywhere else. The current playback speed could be displayed as digits either above or below the play button itself (so you'd always know the current speed).
Just some suggestions for your consideration.
Cheers.
I think you not aware of the gestures.
Just swipe up/down with two fingers to change the playback speed. I think, there can't be a fastest way than this one.

I am perfectly aware of gestures, which is why I mentioned it in the very first sentence of my post above.

My point is that: (a) gestures are not a replacement for good UI design (they are an additional means of accessing a feature), and (b) I don't want to use gestures for playback speed because I use gestures for zoom and pan (and it's a nightmare trying to pan without constantly messing up playback speed by accident).
I already get enough grief from messing with the volume whenever I try to swipe down to check my phone notifications (I would much prefer a volume slider). I don't need the same with playback speed too.
The existence of a gesture control does not mean that the menu method of access can't also be improved for a better user experience for users who do not want to use gestures.
I would love a playback speed option easily accessible once I touch the screen, rather than the 2 fingers gesture or going into audio options, it would be so great to have it appear on 1 click and then we adjust the speed.
From 1.9.1 you can now use Ctrl + UP/Down keys on the physical keyboard to increase and reduce the speed.
Regarding more easily accessible UI option, We have some plans for UI improvements in future (after implementing some other important features). It will be implemented as a part of UI overhauling.

It would be great if there would have been an option to select the physical buttons to control the playback speed. This is suitable for android TV controls. By default up/down buttons on android TV remotes for example are used to control volume, which is useless on TV. These buttons would be perfect to control playback speed instead.

Each remote has different buttons & they provide different key input. We use the standard key events defined on android itself.
Probably your remote have separate keys for volume button. But, in many devices (especially android boxes) only DPAD is exists.
So, configuring UP/Down to control the speed will cause issues with them. And many people uses external keyboards as well. It will break that too.
Anyhow, we will discuss the other possibilities with our team and we will improve the same if it's possible.
Adjust volume, brightness and launch apps with edge swipe gestures any time.
Easy Slider enables the easiest and most comfortable way to adjust volume and brightness of your device when browsing videos or playing games. It also lets you launch your favorite apps or switch to recent apps effortlessly.
No need to use physical buttons or notifications panel to change the volume or brightness from one video to another; place your device off your hands or hold it with one hand, you can increase or decrease the volume instantly by just a single swipe or set brightness easily on any screen and any time you want. What's more, you can launch pinned or recent apps from the new advanced slider menu easily.
Easy Slider allows performing swipe actions on selected side of the screen. It displays an overlay over other apps, which is always available when the screen is unlocked (except while some system apps which display over of the overlay are open in the foreground).
You can start using Easy Slider with the default settings, but if you want to modify the app according to your preferences, you can change every parameter you need from the configurations.

Apart from these, don't forget that swiping inwards shows the advanced slider menu.
Notes:
Display over other apps permission is required for this app to run. It allows the app to stay and register touches on top of other apps. You can follow the "Initialize the app" menu to enter the related setting.
Although this app doesn't use any battery in the background, disabling battery optimization may be necessary depending on your system. It's highly recommended to disable battery optimization for this app to prevent it from being stopped by the operating system. You can follow the "Initialize the app" menu to enter the related setting.
This app may not work as expected on devices with edge display. You may need to increase swipe area width to high values, which means using more of the screen as overlay.
The main focus of this app is to let the user adjust the volume (and brightness) using gestures which do not become tiresome after some use. Later, other features have been added.
How to start using the app?
Just follow the toast notification instructions. (Enter "Initialize the app" menu, grant permissions, press the Start floating button. Then I suggest you check out the other configuration menus to adjust the app according to your preference.)
What are the available gestures?
The screens and video on Play Store page shows every available gesture and feature.
Get it on Google Play Store

Just upping as the app improved a lot more since the last post. If you have suggestions let me know.
