Fast, heavy packed, and powerful -- these are the words that
would best describe the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. One may still get confused about
its true identity -- Is it a phone? A tablet? Actually, it's something in the
middle, integrated with the functionalities and features of both worlds. These
ten handy tips and tricks will help you uncover the hidden features and bring
out the best of your Galaxy Note 3.
Capacitive touchscreens are great to use for responsiveness
because they don't rely on pressure for interaction. However, the downside of
capacitive touchscreens is that you can't use it when you're wearing gloves.
Now, you can still use your Galaxy Note 3 even in the freezing cold by
enhancing your phablet's sensitivity level to overcome this problem. Go to Settings,
then tap Controls, then scroll
to the bottom of the screen, and then tap to check the option Increase
touch sensitivity.
The Galaxy Note 3 is perfect for multitasking because of its
large screen. Its Multi Window feature allows you to use applications such as
Browser, S Note, Gallery, Email, etc. at the same time, two apps which take up
half of the screen each, with the size of each window adjustable. Go to your
phablet's Settings, then Device,
and then tap the toggle switch to enable the Multi window option. Tapping on the option will go
to another screen where you have the option to open the content directly in the
multi window automatically when files or videos are opened while the multi
window is running.
Because it's quite easy to misplace the stylus when it's not
docked, Samsung Galaxy Note 3 has a smart feature that will alert you whenever
your S Pen is not placed back into the phablet's stylus hole. To enable the S
Pen Keeper feature, go to Settings, Controls,
and then S Pen. Tap the S
Pen Keeper box to
check it. So the next time you walk away without the S Pen in its proper place,
your phone will give an audio alert reminding you what you have forgotten to
do.
A pop-up window automatically comes up along with different
options whenever you remove the Galaxy Note 3's stylus from its dock. This can
be handy, but can also be annoying to some extent. Imagine how irritating this
pop-up message will be when you dock and un-dock your S Pen more than once. To
make this pop-up notification go away, go to Settings, then Controls,
and then go to S Pen. Select Pen
detachment options, and then tap the option none.
The next time you remove your stylus from its dock, there's no more pop-up
message that will ruin your day.
Most apps that are installed on your Galaxy Note 3 consume a
significant amount of memory, more so when they are open and running in the
background. To fully close apps, go to Settings, go to Apps Manager, tap to select the app that
you want to close, and then tap Force Close.
However, bear in mind that some apps may re-activate
automatically whenever you restart your phablet.
You can mute everything or pause media playback on your Galaxy
Note 3 by covering the screen with your hand while the screen is turned on. To control
this option, go to Settings, Controls,
then tap Palm Motion.
With this feature handy on the Galaxy Note 3, you'll never get
embarrassed whenever your phone rings in the middle of a meeting or a quiet
environment, where you don't want to catch any attention.
It's illegal to use your phone while driving -- we all know
that. And since the Galaxy Note 3 is humongous in size, it's more of a bad idea
to use it while you're in a car. Thanks to the phone's hands-free options, you
can still safely use it even when you're driving. You can simply wave your hand
over the screen if you want to accept a call and have your text and caller
information read aloud so you would know who is trying to get in touch without
having to glance on your phone's screen.
To enable the Galaxy Note 3's hands-free option, go to Settings,
then Controls, and then tap
to select Hands-free.
Along with a huge screen, the Galaxy Note 3 also includes
customizable font size and text to make it as personal as you'd like it to be.
If you feel like you need to have larger text or a funkier font, just go to Settings,
then Device, and then go to Font.
From here, you can select any of the available font style and size. You can
even get the one you really like from the Web by downloading it, which is also
possible.
With the phone's largish 5.7-inch screen, it would seem
impossible to operate it one-handedly. The one-handed operation feature is
useful especially to users who have a fast-paced lifestyle and are always on
the go. To turn on the Galaxy Note 3's one-handed operation, go to Settings,
then Controls, and then One-handed
operation menu.
You can change the elements of the phone's user interface to make them more
comfortable and easier to use with a single hand.
There are times when your phone is in your pocket or bag, you'd
barely hear it ringing or feel its vibration when there's an incoming call. You
can now avoid this with the Galaxy Note 3 because there is an option where you
can make your phablet ring louder. If you don't want to miss an important call,
go to Settings, then Device,
then tap Call, and then tap to
check the Increase volume in pocket box.
Enjoy your phablet's full potential by learning about these common tips and tricks. As simple as it may be, these useful features will make your life easier and you'll definitely love your Samsung Galaxy Note 3 more.
