SPen Examples ??? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Can I see some SPen examples or atleast told a few things they can do ? Maybe I don't have any uses for it or just don't know its benefits of what it can do ?
Or pointed to another thread I missed on its advantages of picture manipulation or CAD examples or anything ?

Like if you hold the button on the pen and make a arrow pointing left it will act just like the back button
More stuff like this ???

I like using mine for handwriting to text. With spen switcher it automatically changes from Swype to the stock keyboard in handwriting mode when I remove the pen.
I like to use it for navigation on the device. GMD spen control is what Samsung's gestures should have been.
I also like to use it with photo editing apps.

Settings->S-Pen-> S Pen Help.
Not sure why people have so much trouble finding that. I went through it the first day I had the phone.

Sorry im a Dumb a$$ but there should be more example than the help files show to use the pen. The help files are vague anyways. If that is all the pen does it dont really compliment the n2 as much as I thought.

The spen can also act as a mouse hover on websites like NBA.com

The s-pen also automatically scrolls for you. If you're using the pen and you hover near the bottom of the page the page will scroll down with no other action on your part.

Swiftkey flow

I was under the impression that the spen would not work with flow, but it does! Sure am missing the dedicated number row though. If it had that it would be perfect.

I can deal without a dedicated number row. Just turn your long press sensitivity down.

Exactly. Seems like 180 is the sweet spot

Its a damn shame because the actual swipe function rocks...
How does the beta compare to the version pre-installed on the Note 2?

agreed on both parts. i can type amazingly fast with it
I love it. It has all the functionality of SwiftKey plus flow, so if you don't like flow you can use it just like you can use the normal SwiftKey.
I took nosit1's advice and turned long press sensitivity down to make numbers easier. Love it! Now just need to figure out how to swipe to erase like on the non - swipe version and I will be perfectly content.

Multi Window multitasking?

You know the multitasking thing Samsung has? Is it possible on our phones?
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
Even if it is possible, I don't think it's really all that. I had the Note 2 for about 2 months and the only time I found the multiview useful was for showing off..lol

It's one of those wow features that's nice to have but really doesn't need to exist. I would rather have a bar at the top with tabs for apps then multiple windows.
would be a great feature to have if watching/listening to youtube and you need to send a quick text or answer a call. Try and do that currently and it kills the app.

What settings did you search?

If you aren't hooked on swype, you might want to try some of the aftermarket keyboards...they do some amazing things (and some do have swype or something similar included). Especially if you are used to the iOS keyboard...its probably one of the biggest day to day functional improvements on Android. Smart Keyboard Pro, Thumb Keyboard and Kii are all awesome.
@kintwofan i have that off and my swype keyboard still has the predictive txt and i downloaded kii is ok ill do for now

What's wrong with the stock keyboard? I just swiped this from it
sent from my Note 2
It sounds like the complaint is the suggestion bar because you can't turn it off. But it is less annoying if you turn off auto correction and next word prediction.
But there are many good keyboards. No one should feel stuck with a keyboard they don't like.

Thats not the stock keyboard. Thats swype. This is the stock keyboard:
If youre rooted, I can give you the stock kb with the auto correct turned off and ability to remove predictive text as seen above, in a flashable zip file. I cant help you with swype, I think stock is far superior though. Ive used 4.2 keyboard, swiftkey etc. I came back to stock

Just cause your not used too it doesn't mean it sucks. You have to remember coming from an iPhone you are going from a windows 3 computer to windows 8.
Lotta capabilities you will need to get used too.

What I would like to see

I have to take notes on my 2 when using the phone. Sure would be nice if the speaker phone would automatically turn on when I pull the stylus to scribble a note. Looked for a setting and searched to try and find a mod that does this. If you know how to do this please let me know. Thx. GA

I use Bluetooth a lot during the day, and especially when I want to take notes during a phone call. Speaker is nice, but not always loud/clear enough to use regularly.

I modded my output volumes so speaker is pretty loud now. No problems hearing. Even with my old ears. Lol

Thanks, I downloaded tasker, but it takes a pretty steep learning curve to use it. Reviewing utube vids to try and figure it out. If you have it down, maybe you can post the steps to have it turn on the speaker when the phone is in use and the stylus is pulled. Thanks.

I just don't know how to set a context involving pen detection. my only problem with Tasker is figuring out how to get it automate features that are particular to this phone such as the s pen and multi Window

Split Keyboard

Just got the 2014 and was wondering if anyone has come across a split keyboard for it or even a Swype version for it? Been using Swype since my G-II days,... very comfortable with it. But sure wished I could find a split keyboard option. Thanks!

The native samsung keyboard splits. Push and hold the mic icon chose split, normal or floating. If you dont like that try swiftkey or thumbsplus both are good

Since you mention Swype, the Play Store version does have a split function as well.
Try SwiftKey. I have and it's the best yet. I think. There is a free trail version in the play store. Swipe works in split mode to. Takes a little to get use to.

Another keyboard you might like to try is one of the original split keyboards on the market in thumb keyboard. Tons of customization options to fit it to how you want it to feel like. I used it on my other tablets before the Note. I'm mainly stick to stock because it like the ability to write from time to time and it has native split like others have mentioned.

Try Multiling keyboard from PlayStore

Kii is by far the best split keyboard I've used. I've tried swiftkey and swype but always go back to Kii.
