Found 2 new tips with the Spen that I thought I'd share in case someone else doesn't know.
Double tap the screen to bring up an Action Memo. When I'm using the Spen, like a word search game, but have moved the options up and deleted then so it's off my screen, I can do this and it's quick and easy. Won't interfere with my game, too much. Yes you can click the pen and choose Action Memo, but this is easier, I think.
You can play with cropped photos. If you choose the Lasso and choose, say, the head of your cat, you can put it on your dog's body.
I was thinking this might work when Photo Grid doesn't do what I want with multiple photos to share.

So are you saying to take notes in OneNote mobile to sync or take note in S Note and sync it to OneNote?

Take notes in OneNote. The notes will sync automatically across all devices, including "ink" notes.

2 things:
1. On "Ok Google" there is no need to waive your hand via that setting ie no need to set that if you go to Google Settings app and make OK Google a trusted voice. Now you can unlock phone with OK Google and ask away.
2. If you connect via Bluetooth to your car or use headphones, and you like music, go to sound in the settings section and select tube amp under sound effects. This is a hidden gem. Perhaps it's just my ear but the bass sound is spectacular with that setting. Whatever they did the deep bass sounds quite good when I blast Spotify in my car over Bluetooth with that tube amp sound effect selected. It's always on now.

Now that you mention it, ok Google is not unlocking the phone despite my setting it as a trusted device.

My "OK Google" works when the phone is locked, but it doesn't unlock the phone. If I ask a question, like the weather or sports score, it'll answer, but if I ask it to do something like open an app, it'll tell me, "I can't do that when the phone is locked." If I unlock quick enough, though, it'll open the app for me.
Does having ok Google on when the phone is locked affect battery life?

I have the s planner app on my home screen. Also have widget on a different screen... But if I have to make a quick note for a day while on the phone I can click the S planner app and hold the date I want for a couple of seconds with the S-pen, and I will be able to jot an appointment or whatever into that date.
I just did this and the camera focused immediately. I tapped the top, the sides. Every time it focused.

Like, you literally just lightly tap the side of the phone and it'll focus? I've got a case with a TPU bumper on it so that may be why I didn't notice anything. I just tried doing it with the case off and I think it was focusing? Lol

That's what I'm saying, I think it's just the image stabilizing from the phone moving a bit from tapping it.. Lol I'm kinda skeptical if that's a "feature"

Someone said that's the ONLY way they could focus their phone. I tried it and it does work, but so does taping the screen.

I have a Verus case on mine and I noticed it focused the image after tapping the side of the phone. Yes, even small taps.
