I love showing off my phone and have found the following features the best way to do just that:
S-Pen
DLNA (NOT AllShare!)
Motions
(some other Samsung phones have this, however it is still fun to show off)
Video Player
Multi-View
Home Button
S-Voice
Want to show off the features of your Galaxy Note 2 and make your friends envious (besides the screen size)?
S-Pen
Ok, the S-Pen by far is one of the coolest and useful tools out there, so why not start there
Prep:
Make sure page buddy is turned on (Settings ? Display ? Page buddy)
Make sure Open Popup Note is enabled (Settings ? S Pen ? Open Popup Note)
#1 With the screen off, pull out the S-Pen and watch the screen turn on and s-note open
#2 Show Gestures
???. 2a. Press the button and draw a line upward to enter Quick Commands
???. 2b. Press the button and draw a < (greater sign) to go back
???. 2c. Press the button and draw an ^ (up arrow) to open the menu
???. 2d. Press the button and double tap the screen to open S-Note
???. 2e. Press the button and long press the screen to take a screen shot
#3 Open the Web
Press the button and draw around something on the screen to do a screenshot cut out
Hover over a website that has dropdown menus (acts like a mouse over)
Open the internet Press the button and draw over text to highlight text
Hover over a screen like a webpage and go to the edge to see it scroll
#4 Open Video player (watching that is cool in itself)
Hover over a video to see a popup play
Open video and let it play ? hover over the timeline to show a preview of that spot
#5 Open Gallery
Hover over an album and sit there to go through previews of the pictures in that album
Open a picture, hit menu and select ?Add Note to Back of Image)
Write something on the back
#6 S Note
Ok this one is cool without using any fancy clicks and such, but I found this post and while in s-note, if you hove rthe pen and click the button, it switches between your favoriate/saved pen tips and the eraser
Last but not least, and this is more of a fix than showing off
IF YOUR S-PEN STOPS WORKING CORRECTLY CHECK OUT THIS THREAD
DLNA (NOT AllShare!)
I found this info here
Turn on "File Sharing" under Settings > More Settings > Nearby Devices, this lets you share pics, music and video with your DLNA devices.
And if you have an XBox you can use an app called iMediaShareLite (free) to steam media to your XBox
Motions
(some other Samsung phones have this, however it is still fun to show off)
GalleryPrep:
Make sure Motions are on (settings ? Motion ? check all) (you can use them all, I just use the following)
#1 Quick glance: (with phone off and on a table) wave your hand over the top of the phone
#2 Direct call: Look at a text, then hold the phone up to your ear (to call that person)
#3 Smart alert: This is harder to show, however you can still explain the phone vibrates when you pick it up if there are missed called/messages?
#4 Turn phone over to pause: play music and turn the phone over
#1 Open the galley and hit the view button in the upper right corner (not too useful however it looks cool )
#2 Hit the + folder to make a new album; click a few pictures and press and hold on the last picture; then drag to the new album; it is a cool animation
#3 Open a picture and use the following features (press menu to access)
???. 3a. Face tag (Note 2 and S3)
???. 3aa. Manual face tag, press and hold on a picture on a face that is not auto tagged to add face tag(Note 2 and S3)
???. 3b. Tag Buddy/Buddy Share (Note 2 and S3)
???. 3c. Note on back (you should have already done this)
???. 3d. Paper Artist
