Want to get more out of your Galaxy Note? Then try some of these quick tips to turbo charge your experience with the phone. Watch me demonstrate all these tips in the video.\r
\r
1. Rearrange your icons and widgets singlehandedly.\r
\r
When you only have one hand free, and desperately need to move a widget around, just press down on it, keep it pressed, and tilt the phone to the side so that the homescreens scroll beneath the widget. You will need to enable motion ivation in the settings first for this to work.\r
\r
2. Resizing a widget\r
\r
Press down on the widget you want to resize, and keep pressed down until yellow guidelines and a grey triangular handle appear. Pull on this handle to snap the widget to whichever guideline you want.\r
\r
3. Taking screenshots\r
\r
The first method is to hold your hand like you are about to do a karate chop, and then swipe it sideways across the phone screen. You will hear a shutter click sound, which lets you know the screenshot has been taken.\r
\r
The second method is to use the s-pen. Hold down the control button on the pen and then long press on the phone screen. You will hear the shutter click sound, and then you will be given the option of editing the picture before sharing, saving, or deleting it.\r
\r
Another method, which is similar to that in iOS, is to press the power button and home button together, then release the power button to hear the shutter click.\r
\r
4. Cropping images\r
\r
You get the option to write on or crop screenshots and images on the Note using the s-pen. Cropping can either be freehand (lasso) or rectangular crop. The cropped images can then be inserted into an s-memo and annotated.\r
\r
5. Using s-memo lite\r
\r
You dont always need to keep the s-memo icon or widget on your homescreen. Just hold down the s-pens control button and double tap on the screen to bring up the s-memo lite application. You can jot down quick notes, even change the background paper style and all this will be saved to the full s-memo application.\r
\r
6. Create folders in s-memo\r
\r
If you like things organised, you might prefer to arrange your memos in specific folders within the s-memo app. Pressing the menu button while in s-memo will show an option to create a new folder.\r
\r
7. Handwriting recognition\r
\r
This works with the stock Samsung keyboard and can be ivated in all applications that use the keyboard, like s-memo, email, and messages. Press the text to pen icon on the bottom row of the keyboard to access this feature.\r
\r
8. Lock the phone while watching a video\r
\r
Pressing the power button will lock the screen, home button, and capacitive menu and back buttons when you are watching a video. Only the volume button stays ive. You can remove the lock by pressing the power button again. This is quite handy when you want to avoid accidental touches and interruptions to your video.\r
\r
9. Adjust brightness\r
\r
Change the screen brightness without going into settings by directly scrubbing in the notification bar.\r
\r
10. Exposé for the homescreen and app drawer\r
\r
This is a quick way to jump from one homescreen to another. Just pinch in on the screen to bring up all the homescreens as a group, and then tap on the one you want to go to. You can also rearrange the screens in this mode. The same process works for the app drawer.
