Note 3 tips and tricks an ongoing project...

Tired of reading something important, only to be interrupted by a call from a friend? There's a setting that turns your incoming call notifications into a smaller movable box so you can read that last sentence just before you answer. Or reject and don't miss anything...lol.

Settings, Device, Call, check Incoming Call Notifications.

This is one of my favorites that I didn't realize what it did, until it was mentioned by someone else in another thread! For some reason, the description confused me enough to think it was for something else, so for the longest time, I didn't have it activated.
 
Does this work for Note 3? I believe they do not have Night Mode. Anyway I don't get any Moon/Stars icon. I think this method will work best for night pics though. Thanks

blurry pics seem to be a trade mark of the n3! :(

Can you do this on Note 3? I believe they do not have the night mode. I wish they did. :)

I don't get the moon/star icon. But I believe using stabilization is suggested for night scenes so Ill try this anyway.

Thanks for the tip.

Useful Companion Apps:

Works with Note 3, and with Samsung Account (didn't check Evernote Synching)

S Note Desktop Software (Metro): S Note app for Windows in the Windows Store

Requires Touch Screen and Digitizer Pen (Surface Pro, Samsung's Ativ Tablets with S Pen, that Dell Tablet with S Pen, etc.) otherwise it won't show up in the Windows Store.

Samsung SideSync: SAMSUNG SideSync

Works with Note 3, checked. Have to install app from Play Store or Galaxy Apps on your phone, in addition to the PC App. Useful "Continuity" component.
 
I can't get the moon and stars to show up on the upper left hand side or stay on the screen with auto flash still on. Can you take a screen shot of what is supposed to look like?

This is how it looks on mine
 
Hi,

He would have to block the back camera for it to change to night mode depending on how much light he in in or go in a dark room...
 
I have not read all of the comments so this may be posted already - but I found the feature that you can change in the camera settings so you can touch anywhere in the frame to snap pic or just say smile and it snaps :-)

We learn something new all the time on these phones. Also long hold the mic in the text app and you get dozens of smileys etc.
 
I thought I knew 'em all, but perhaps not.

Not sure if this has been posted, apologies if it has.

Say you make a folder in your app drawer and no longer want it. Tapping and holding it only gives the option at the top of the screen to cancel. To delete it, in the app drawer screen with the folder you want to remove tap menu then edit, now drag and drop the unwanted folder to the bin.

This was driving me nuts. I almost Googled it, before working it out myself.
