Coolest features you discovered after buying your Note 4

[WeAreAllUnique]

Before getting the Note 4 I had done a lot of research on it from the web, to youtube, to forums. And I thought I knew this phone inside out before purchasing. Plus I had the previous Note smartphones, so I figured it wouldn't be that different. But there have been a few features that either I didn't know about or didn't pay much attention to that I am really enjoying. The best one I have come to love is the My Places widget. I can set up this widget to display different apps based on my location. It also adjust the sound profiles and automatically turn WiFi on or off depending in your preference. What are some features you guys have discovered that you are enjoying since getting your Note 4?

When taking a photo with front camera, just shout "shoot" and it will after a 2 sec timer. I didn't had a clue I just tried out after seeing that little mic icon in the lower right and I was shocked. This saves you cramps trying to press the on screen button or the heart sensor when taking selfies.

Have a good day.

Hold the button on the S Pen, tap the screen twice and it brings up the action memo. Found this out recently.

I didn't know that one. So I guess there are a few ways to access the action memo.

+1 I don't have a "my places" widget either. Wonder where it is?

That's odd. I wonder if you have something disabled.

Things they finally fixed that I really like...

1. Airplane mode doesn't require confirmation box.

2. Hotspot easily turned on and off unlike my S5 which is buried in the menus.

I'm with Sprint and I have the "My Places" widget. Maybe certain carriers removed the widgets. I'm going to try the widget. Thanks for the heads up. My favorite new feature is using the s-pen for easier copy & paste. On web sites and such if you hold the s-pen button you can select text on websites & such for copy/paste function.

My places widget is a touch wiz widget, so if you aren't using the stock, touch wiz launcher, then you won't have the widget.

That explains it. I'm using Apex. If apps can be sideloaded... can widgets?

Not sure if this is old news. But if you go to wallpaper and hit lock screen only. There is option to choose called "my interest."

It will be loaded with tons of wallpapers that you can change every 1 to 12 hrs for the lock screen only. Categories range from drawing, travel, nature, landscape, night sky, pets and food.

There are some other options in there as well. Pretty cool

That's a good one. I believe this was on the Note 3 as well.
