Hi guys, new Note user here. Love the device, amazing piece of tech. Few questions: volume rocker is bit loose. Anyone with this issue? How do I access Google music, there is no app just the Samsung one. When the screen is off, pressing home button wakes the device. Any way to disable it? Thanks a lot.

Now I will be getting the Note 2 soon. I own a Samsung Galaxy R or less commonly know as Samsung Galaxy S2 Tegra. Google Music isn't really worth the trouble. Might I suggest PowerAmp. Its the best audio player available on the Play Store. Its for 5$ currently I got it for 2$ when it was on limited sales discount.
About the phone waking up when you hit the home button. Looks like you have disabled the screen lock. Go to Settings>Security>Screen Lock>Select Swipe with No Pattern.
Hope this helps.

Firstly, Mod if there is already a thread on this topic please move my post there.
I'm experiencing serious problems when trying to take a screenshot with the palm swipe. I had no problem whatsoever on my S III. I'm disabled & can't use the shortcut.
Ideas? TX

I find holding the power and the home button is more convenient for a screenshot, try that maybe?

Is there anything blocking the sensor at the top? (Screen protector, case, etc)?

No. I have a Cimco TPU case (more like a sleeve) & it's not blocking the sensor.

I just tried the palm swipe and I realized I had to press on the screen with more force than on the S3 (I've tried both). Also I think air gesture has to be toggled on (as well as palm motion obviously )

Hmm. I'm pretty darn sure air gesture is toggled too but will check again. I'll also try pressing harder.

Just remembered to respond. Air Gesture was turned off. That said, I remember taking a few screenshots just after I got the phone & AG was definitely off. I also read a bit more about this feature. Supposedly you can hold a finger ~3" over the sensor & it'll activate. Not on my phone...

It's been my experience that I have to physically touch the screen in order for the screen wipe to take a screenshot. I've also found this feature somewhat unreliable as it sometimes moves the screen and then takes a shot of a screen that I have no interest in.

Hey everyone. Just wanted to know if you all are experiencing a lag when using the power button to turn OFF the screen. At times it will be instant and at others it will do a 2 phase dimming before powering off. Also at other times it will take a couple seconds before responding to the push of the button. Let me know if you all are having the same issue. I had the note 2 and I don't remember if it had the same problem.
Also I can post a video when I can if ya all need a visual.
Thanks in advance.

Its occessional but if you try many time continuesly switch off by power button you will found lag for switchig off the screen.

Turning off the option for using the power button for s-voice (s-voice options) reduces the lag

I got annoyed by the Home button so I installed Button Savior on my Note 2. I'll do that on my Note 3 for sure. I just hate mechanical Home button. I wish Button Savior lets me configure long pressing Home to be launching Google Now
How? Can you guide me to make it off.

Screens only on german, hope it helps.
Start s-voice, after that, enter settings (menu button). Disable option (should be "open with home button" or sth. like this (I'm using a german device)
Hope, this helps
cheers

Do you guys think this is just the effect of too harsh a transition to screen off max frequencies?

note 3 lag
I messed around with the settings and it's not like a huge difference but try turning off the water ink effect for the lock screen to open the device and put none and I notice a .5 or sec difference, it's sad if it turns out because of that:crying:
Omg I found out why there is lag on the power button when putting the phone to sleep and waking it up. Turns out that a lot of apps or system processes, well it uses a lot of ram I used a app called clean master it's free and it frees up ram. When I free the ram the power button seem more responsive. So try it out. Kind of disappointing for an amazing phone even with 3gb ram can still be effected like this

I got the same problem. Bought mine from a Fortress in Hong Kong unlocked. 4G LTE model.
Also noticed that not only is there a lag before the power off button kicks in but a lag for the thing yo actually shut down. Takes a while to shut down.
I'm pretty sure it has to do with power saving frequencies set in the kernel. I have experience this with previous devices when tweaking kernel for power saving. If the low side for idle is really low you'll get the lag. Don't quote me on this but I'm almost certain.

It completely removes it for me. Its pretty much instant.
I agree. I went into svoice and unchecked open via the home key and also wake up command and the lag waking up mostly gone. I still get some with multiple apps running in the background though, not too concerned either way.

If you uncheck open via the home button you will no longer be able to open it back up by double clicking on the home button. Say you unchecked it and then you wish to go back and check it again you will no longer be able to go back as double clicking on home button no longerbrings back this option to check or uncheck again
Anyone know how to bring this option back?
But see this thread is about the power but to make it sleep and wake up, not the home button to go back to the main page.

Coming from a Note 1 where I had a nice capacitive button to activate search.
Really don't want to keep a widget on my home screen just to get to Google Now/Search, but can't figure out how to map a hardware button to it.
Help?
What about a custom launcher with user defined functions invoked by a gesture?

Actually num 3 is a yes. Just tested with my wife n3 set on my n2. It locks securely as well only it doesnt follow the body shape contour of the n2. But yes it fits the slot and securely too.
Num 1 is a yes.
Num 2 is a definate no. Screen digitizer i assume doesnt exist in the note 2 menu and back buttons.
Num 4 is that i saw a video on youtube that u dun need to actually hold the pen near to 90 degrees to write. U can hold it at any angle to write.
