Is there a way to adjust the pens sensitivity to when the screen sees the pen? Like to only when the pen is on the screen as opposed to 1/8 away from the screen. Sorry if this has been addressed before but search didn't turn up anything..thanks for any help!

There is an app called touch screen tune in the market that lets you change touch sensitivity and minimum movement with your fingers, and spen sensitivity. The free app is useless as it reverts back to the original settings every time your phone goes to sleep. So the developer is asking for a $5 donation, and normally i never consider buying from someone with such business practices. But i emailed the developer and he was extremely quick to get back to me to answer questions and such, and the app itself is well worth the $5. My typing speed has increased and my spen is surgically accurate.
Hope that helps

I recently got the official Galaxy Tab 10.1 book case and have found that when I'm using it my hand sometimes covers the light sensor and the screen turns really dark.
Besides turning autobrightness off, does anyone have any "bright" ideas?

Nope frankly auto brightness does not have that much impact on battery life. i find it more of an annoyance really and keep it disabled

Three options come to mind.
First. Keep your hand off the sensor.
Second. Turn off auto brightness.
Third. Quit using the case.
Really I think those are the only sensible things you can do.

Looks like a compromise has to be made, was just checking that it was Samsung who didn't think through the case and not me being dumb
Wasn't you being dumb at all. Just have to decide what's most important to you and what compromise you're willing to make.
I don't have personal experience with the oem case so I really can't say if there's a design flaw, I've only heard good things about it except for price.

Is their anyway to increase the vibration duration or intensity over stock settings. I can barely feel this this thing go off when in my holster or pocket

Settings, sound, vibration intensity. At least that's how to do it in Gb.

Still very soft vibration
i dont mind it but i do admit its very soft
No way to increase it beyond the stock settings. I agree it is very soft, but there is only so much force an unbalanced weight can produce when you consider the size and weight limitations. Old beepers and cell phones that could rip your belt off when they went off had much larger weights attached to the vibration motor - because the cases and the weight of all the other components were so much larger. The thinner and lighter you go - like the Note - the less vibration you'll get.
Eventually they'll have to find another way to do it. Maybe a thin belt with protrusions that vibrates as it gets pulled across a stationary spoke (like a card stuck in a bike's spokes). Or turning the back plate of the phone into a subsonic speaker, like a subwoofer.
That sux, I can't have my phone on ring at work so I use vibrate. I wonder if someone can work in a custom vibrate pattern into a rom and ill just configure it to go longer.

Posted in Apps section, but I thought I would throw this on General do get the people that might not go over there.
I've had this phone for about 2 weeks, not counting the one week....never mind.
I literally got a huge cramp...I think it's tendonitis, in my main phone hand, from trying to contort to this phone. I am a fervant one-handed user, and I've finally got my phone to a place where I can do about 90% of what I need to do....One of the main apps I utilized is Virtual Button Bar StoreLInk or another softbutton app.. It's basically a set of soft buttons accessible via a small screen overlay on the edge of your screen.
It changes the way I set up my phone because my hand basically stays in one position. So I keep my home clustered.
It works for great for me...but it's going to take a while to get rid of this tendonitis. I'll report back.
Update: I'm now recommending button savior ...
More control...more options....I actually use both.....I have one set one each side so I can have thimbfriendly control for both hands
Swipepad is better in my opinion and it's free.
Edit: Never mind. This has way more functionality. I still would choose Swipepad though, but hitting back isn't a problem for me because I hold my phone with my right hand.

swipepad is good. Great way to have everything on your homescreen hidden.
I don't see how pressing the home button a few times every once in a while could give you anything as "serious" as tendonitis, seeing as the majority of smartphones had physical buttons until around 2011, and when you compare the big easy-to-press Galaxy Note button to the tiny, hard buttons of the Droid X, I don't see how anyone could be complaining, and you wouldn't catch me dead sacrificing one millimeter of this glorious HD screen for anything that can be accomplished by the fabulous buttons protruding the edge of my display.

to make the entire phone more one-hand-friendly, is there any way to reduce the useable (usable) screen size of the entire UI? preferably temporarily through some easy toggle?
I enabled on screen buttons which eats up about half an inch or so on the bottom of the screen. There is a tutorial somewhere on here. As far as a quick toggle I don't know. I'm on beans 10 and had to change a few things in a couple files. It does bump the keyboard farther up which makes it much easier to type on.

Under Settings -> Personal there is One-handed Operation. I don't think it does what you're describing, but I think it shifts certain elements like the keyboard to one side to make it easier to use with one hand. Might at least help some.
One other thing with the on screen buttons, they become functional with the s-pen. I like them for that reason alone.

Get LMT launcher and a flygrip and you'll be one handing it like a boss.

Might want to also consider what is going to happen to the screen over the long term if you are keeping static images on it.
Alot of people like the on screen buttons because it works with the spen but I prefer LMT

My biggest problem is hitting the Nav buttons with one hand and this helps. It also doesn't take away from the screen like the soft button option. Works with spen as well.
Just wondering if anyone else experiences this when trying to use the s-pen when holding the note up..like when you are lying on your back. The pen will register strokes without even touching the screen...it isn't useable unless you are holding the note downward more on a level surface...is there anyway to fix this so I could write with it in other positions? Thanks

Under the pen button is a screw to adjust the pen sensitivity.
There is a video about it somewhere in the great big www.
