Tips n Tricks about the Note only

1. Pressing and holding the menu key brings up google search... it also it toggles the keyboard in the browser, even when a text input box isn't selected... (Jade Eyed Wolf)

2. Certain widgets from Samsung are resizable: Bookmarks, Weather, and S-memo. These are again only seen in galaxy note i guess.. Link2Post (galaxytab1)

Hold the widget until it gets big and the desktop gets small, indicating it's able to be moved. Then let go and it'll drop back down and the resizing lines will appear. Touch and hold the grey triangle on the lower right corner, and drag to resize the widget. (maxh)

3. The new browser in 2.3.6 upgrade has this new brightness option in the settings tab. (galaxytab1)

4. There is the ability to tag your music for easier searching. (galaxytab1)

7. Three ways to take a screen shot:

I: Using the S-Pen hold in the button then press on the screen until the shot is taken.

10. The contacts can be made to search not only with the first letter but second also. Try touching the letters 'A,B,C...'on the right edge of the contacts list and then swipe away towards left, you will see the second letters appearing by which to look up contacts. (Galaxytab1)

11. Pressing the home button wakes the screen up from sleep. (ItsMathematics)

15. Pinch to zoom also works in the camera app. (hagba)

16. You can control the FM radio using the packaged earphones. Long pressing the call button starts and stops the player and single presses moves you to the next station. (Strategist )

17. Touch and twist with one finger to rotate photos in gallery, don't use the top of your finger, more like if you were pressing in a fingerprint and then twist 90 degrees. (Darius)

18. Pause your music using the palm of your hand. When playing music and the screen is active place your palm of your hand over the entire screen to pause it until you remove your hand. (Darius)

19. In camera settings choose "edit shortcuts" and you can drag the ones you want onto the left for quick access. Also works for video mode shortcuts as well, useful for quick resolution change. (Darius)

22. To make the keyboard disappear quickly, swipe downward on the keyboard. (imajin)

23. Don't use voice commands? Don't want it to pop up when double clicking home button? It can be easily disabled in apps/Voice Talk/Menu. (Galaxytab1)

24. To mute your ring or alarm just gently turn over the phone so the its face down on a flat surface. (mcatt66)

25. Long pressing the back button in the browser brings up the history list. (katyarevishal)

26. In settings-accessibility at the bottom is a sub menu called answering/end calls, there you can toggle the use of the power button to end the call. I like this one as there is always a small delay in the seen coming on to highlight the end call button.

There's also a toggle for answering a call using the home button and an automatic answer option using the stereo headset. (jamieross)

27. S-memo syncs with Google Docs, just go to S-Memo/Menu/Sync. (Galaxytab1)

28. Tips on S-memo sync with Google Docs:

I. Search option in Docs searches the whole of your document and not just the title. So, of you type something in the notes, it is searchable.

II. Title can be entered at the top, however, any text that you enter on the notes becomes the title.

III. S-Memo also has a tag system (Edit Tag) which neatly arranges your memos together, go to S-Memo/Menu/Sort by tag. (Galaxytab1)

IV. If you are syncing with google docs, deleting a memo doesn't delete the memo on google cloud. So any memo you deleted will be back next time you sync unless you login in at docs and delete the memo.

29. In the stock browser if u pinch to zoom out while fully zoomed out it brings up the

Crop a photo and paste into another/The cropped image colour scheme will adjust to the new background. Link2Post (galaxytab1)

36. 3rd party launchers don't support widgets from s-memo, s-planner etc :( (galaxytab1)

37. Here is one more use of the pen:

Install Handwriting Recognition Calculator from Samsung Apps (not in Market). It works most of the time and even if recognition is not good, there is an edit option to reenter the figures. Kinda cool with the pen! Link2Post (galaxytab1)
