A really nice touch (excuse the pun) about SwiftKey on the Note 3 is that if you take out the stylus, it will change into the handwriting keyboard automatically, you don't need to switch keyboards.

Does not do it on the Note 2, and I really hope Samsung will fix it in software release, cos I love SwiftKey.

Cool. We really need to get the tips and tricks thread going. Has anyone noticed that you can adjust the font size with the volume rocker in some apps? I saw this working in the stock messaging app.

I know Swipe can do that, but I haven't seen it on SwiftKey which is my default keyboard.

On the Note 3, you just let your stylus hover at the top left of the SwiftKey keyboard, and you will see it change the icon. Then you can select handwriting keyboard.

Dude at work showed me.

Oh that, yes I have been using it but it's a Note 3 feature. Works with any keyboard.

Oh Ok... I've been using it like that..... When you said "automatically" I thought there was a way to bypass those initial steps.

Now how difficult is it to hover the spen and just flick between keyboards? tsk tsk

Just feel good that you can at least do it, nothing happens when you try that with the Note 2. :(

Wasn't complaining... was just curious about a possible new method to achieve the same thing :-)

That's probably because the ROM on your Note 2 doesn't have this feature...

I bought myself a nice Capdase cover yesterday. Black and blue.

I got a screen protector with it. Now the question is, should I put it on my Note3 or not?

I'm very careful with my device, but accidents still happen. Yesterday I noticed a nasty scratch on the screen of my phone, it would have been permanent if I didn't have a screen protector on.

In the end it's up to you, but I would recommend having one on.

Don't you have any problems with screen response? Even when using the s-pen?

I have no issues at all. Coming from the Note 2 I immediately noticed that the responsiveness of the screen on the Note 3 were not as good as that of the Note 2, it stayed the same after applying the screen protector.

Edit: You can also tick the "Increase touch sensitivity" under Settings - Controls.

Screen protector marks a lot easier than the screen.
Getting a mark on a screen protector != getting a mark on the screen had the protector not been there.

I have never used screen protectors on any of my galaxies. They have gorilla glass for a reason.

Each to their own though.

There's no harm in being extra carefull, I'm sure you lock the doors of your car whenever you leave it at a shop even if it's insured...

Like you said, each to their own.
