just sharing some bits of tips here...

dun recall these being in the Note 2 user digest. never saw much mention of it but I recall there were such functions (like using s pen gesture to do a back) on note 1. Google and found it.

see: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/supportO...5&map_seq=53306

also, those who worry about pressing too much on the physical buttons (and killing the buttons). with note, at least we can also wake our device by just pulling out the s pen.

and finally... i'm sure some (like me) were kinda upset those email preview thingy works only on email client and not the gmail apps. then i just realised this morning... i could just add my gmail to email instead. and for the gmail apps, just set it not to sync anymore (aka disable the gmail sync). that way, emails will now be on the email client and you can use the s pen to preview... <-- ya, i know it took me so long to realise this.

setting up the gmail on email apps is quite easy. the ports are already set. just need to enter username and password. but in case things are not automatically set for you, the manual instructions can be found here:

i guess the next time i factory reset my phone, i'll be setting up my gmail this way...

anyone here playing ingress? this is the first time that i am really concerned about battery life. this game uses lots of it and it's hard to maintain full battery. before this game... full battery is easy to achieve.

din realise augmented reality game that utilise gps and mobile data can whack battery like nobody's business...

why u no mention my current brand: casemate...

lolz... if you mean the Samsung Apps... ya, fresh new looks... but dunno why... it reminds me of the old Google Play..
