Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Tips & Tricks Episode 40: Galaxy Note 2 Style Browser on the Galaxy Note 3

<div id="tdncontent"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBCYHY8Lefs" target="_blank"><img onload="tdnembed()" onmouseout="tdnout(this)" onmouseover="tdnover(this)" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B5GOkxwjYvw/UzLoBZDzjuI/AAAAAAAAA5w/w20ch1Fh0ho/s685/340.jpg" style="width: 100%;" /><br /><br /> </a></div> **Install at your own risk.** If the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 has one flaw, it is that the stock browser is by far one of the least useful browsers on the Android platform, while the Galaxy Note 2, had probably the best browser on the any Android device. With such a large disparity, people who upgrade from the Galaxy Note 2 to the Galaxy Note 3 will have issues with it. However, it looks like there is an app that you can get in the Google Play store that is simply a port of the AOSP (Android Open Source Project) Browser which the Galaxy Note 2 is based on. It is not identical however. The Note 2 browser is obviously modified by Samsung for which I still prefer, but 98% of the browser is still there. And it works great on the Note 3.<br /> <br /> With browsers especially, you must practice caution. You may have not thought about it, but there are many browser makers out there who may not have the best intentions, and there is a lot of opportunities to collect you credentials any time you log into a site on a browser. And this Android Browser is from an unknown developer as far as developers who have been in the business of publishing internet browsers for Android. So practice caution.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Special Feature Episode 7: What's New in Android 4.3 Part 6

<div id="tdncontent"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4MoGNZe9So" target="_blank"><img onload="tdnembed()" onmouseout="tdnout(this)" onmouseover="tdnover(this)" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-onG7_cYoZc4/UzLnpiR3OqI/AAAAAAAAA0c/sAir7FIl_iE/s685/2w7.jpg" style="width: 100%;" /><br /><br /> </a></div> There are a few hidden surprises that you weren't expecting, and they are all benefits of Android 4.3. The screen of the Galaxy Note 2 now turns off when you plug in a mouse to the Galaxy Smart Dock, which is a welcome improvement because the screen always seemed to stay on and it felt very wasteful. Second, it looks like the accelerometer can now be read when the screen is off, which means that the app Runtastic Pedometer can work without keeping your screen off. Were you thinking of upgrading to the Galaxy Note 3 because of Walking Mate? Well, you might want to try this first. Next, it looks like the Galaxy Note 2 has gained support for 3rd party printers. It was a little too demanding that the Note 2 originally only printed if you had a Samsung printer. However, it looks like support for Epson and HP printers have been added. No sign of Canon or Brother printer drivers, but maybe it may just work. If it doesn't Canon and Brother do provide their own apps in the Google Play store.<br /><br />Last, and maybe the least, the new Move to SD feature. It may look like Move to SD that you remember from Android 4.0 and earlier, but it is certainly not. It is limited in that it will only move the data in the secure /data/data folder, and will not move the data in the /Android/data or /Android/obb folder. This means that you can on the average move about 50MB of a 2GB game. However, not mentioned in this video, other apps will move, and after moving about 40 apps, you will gain about a gig of space. It is better than nothing.

They have all got minor design updates, and some feature upgrades as well. I'm always left wondering if I'm just seeing a feature for the first time or if it was indeed part of the update, so if you're like me here is a video to put any questions to rest.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Special Feature Episode 5: Watch This Before You Update To Android 4.3

<div id="tdncontent"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AavaZVxvofY" target="_blank"><img onload="tdnembed()" onmouseout="tdnout(this)" onmouseover="tdnover(this)" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gjCtYNPBz2g/UzLnoQ6KoZI/AAAAAAAAA0I/QRcJhAJy8BI/s685/2w5.jpg" style="width: 100%;" /><br /><br /> </a></div> When I upgraded my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 to Android 4.3, I was thinking that my troubles were unique, but as I'm reading through a lot of the comments from people who have upgraded, it seems like these problems may be more common than previously thought. At first the problems appear pretty severe with a half dozen force closes when you start your device and additionally when you start some, not all, apps. In most cases though, all the error messages are linked to one problem, corrupt dalvik cache for that particular app, and are easily fixable.<br /><br />In short, all you need is to reinstall the app. Before you do that though, a reinstall will erase that data, but most app data can be retained if you backed them before you upgraded to Android 4.3. I recommend the free app Helium. You will need a PC to activate the app before you can do backups and restores.<br /><br />You may see some system apps that also have this problem. Some system apps can be uninstalled by uninstalling the app or turning it off and on. However, some system apps are blocked from an uninstall or disable. In that case, your only option is to do a factory reset. It should be rare, but keep that in mind because there is currently no option to downgrade to 4.1.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Special Feature Ep 2: What's New Android 4.3 Pt 2, Drag & Drop, Stock Browser

<div id="tdncontent"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARO5jM5cbmM" target="_blank"><img onload="tdnembed()" onmouseout="tdnout(this)" onmouseover="tdnover(this)" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RIf0nl43ngE/UzLnmRrFCsI/AAAAAAAAAzs/cB7YCfq335g/s685/2w2.jpg" style="width: 100%;" /><br /><br /> </a></div> The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is now better than ever by gaining the drag and drop ability. It is more limited than the Note 3, but for the right person, it can be a life changer. You just have to find the right app. And for dragging and dropping text that should be easy. For images, it may be incredibly difficult. But things can only improve from here. Also, the Stock Browser has gotten a major upgrade. It is really in a league of its own. It is as fast as the fastest browser out there, has the cleanest appearance, innovative UI, and rock solid reliability. It is the quintessential browser for the Note series of phones, but I can't believe it's not on the Note 3.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Tips & Tricks Episode 38: Note 3 As Portable Audio Recorder w/Rode SmartLav

<div id="tdncontent"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mXAIUhG9HY" target="_blank"><img onload="tdnembed()" onmouseout="tdnout(this)" onmouseover="tdnover(this)" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hDO_D1p1WJ0/UzLn_DSl8BI/AAAAAAAAA5U/SaG6w9nFRvw/s685/338.jpg" style="width: 100%;" /><br /><br /> </a></div> The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 can record perfect audio, but a few things get in the way of you recording really great audio with it. One, the mic input is proprietary. It is a custom configured TRRS connector. Second, most apps don't know how to disable automatic gain control. But here's one that I found that records wav, 48khz, 16bit called RecForge Lite. I know that some people have mentioned that the gain is too high, but not with the Note 3 and RecForge Lite. You can shout as loudly as you want to at a lower gain, and it won't clip. It does a good job capturing the full range of voice, and it does a good job not rubbing against clothing.<br /> <br /> My apologies for the audio samples. While filming this video, I was speaking loudly, but when trying to record audio samples, it was 2AM, and I had to speak softly. If you want me to redo the samples, please let me know in the comments. I just want to reassure people that the Rode SmartLav and the Note 3 is a viable combination for capturing voice for video and other things. The static when recording with any gain can be removed cleanly with the right software like Adobe Audition CC. You will have to remove a captured noiseprint. <br /> <br /> Audio Samples Gain +10: <a href="https://db.tt/1laAQ8PT">https://db.tt/1laAQ8PT</a><br /> Gain 0: <a href="https://db.tt/yTkw8Yir">https://db.tt/yTkw8Yir</a><br /> Gain -10: <a href="https://db.tt/BADzVOSA">https://db.tt/BADzVOSA</a>

And at first glance, I didn't see much of an update, but after digging through I found many benefits to having Android 4.3 on the Galaxy Note 2. So I'm introducing a new series temporarily to talk about what's new on Note 2 after the Android 4.3 firmware update.<br /><br /> One thing that I forgot to mention in this video is that once you upgrade, you can't downgrade. And for me, and a lot of others I've seen in the Galaxy Note 2 forums, the upgrade process is a buggy. I was getting many crashes from my apps, but after I reinstalled all the apps that were crashing I see having Android 4.3 a definite upgrade.<br /><br /> In this video, I cover first 3 of many benefits of Android 4.3. One-handed operation, custom lock screen widgets (I recommend Chronus), and the light effect unlock. There are many more videos to come.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Tips & Tricks Ep. 93: Play Gameloft games with PS3 Controller, Finally!

<div id="tdncontent"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmBxw6H1JcU" target="_blank"><img onload="tdnembed()" onmouseout="tdnout(this)" onmouseover="tdnover(this)" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q_JP8qXDT9A/UzLnirKaznI/AAAAAAAAAzE/urDkwqKjE18/s685/293.jpg" style="width: 100%;" /><br /><br /> </a></div> <h3>Gameloft Now Supports PS3 Controllers for Flagship Titles </h3> If you own a Galaxy Note 2, a PS3 controller, and a USB OTG cable, you should know by now that some games work great with the controller. However, the games by Gameloft never worked fully. The controller would be 90% configured except one critical button making it unusable. Well, it looks like Gameloft has had a change of heart. To my surprise, we discovered 5 games that has become fully configured for the PS3 controller.<br /> <h3> Supported games:</h3> Asphalt 8<br /> Asphalt 7<br /> Nova 3<br /> Modern Combat 4<br /> GT racing 2 and maybe some newer games that they have recently launched<br /> <h3> Tips on Gaming on the Note 2 with the PS3 Controller</h3> First make sure the PlayStation 3 controller is charged. The galaxy note 3 is not powerful enough to charge and and let you play at the same time.  Next, you need a high quality USB cable that transfers data. Try to get a reliable one because it might be the source of all your headaches.  When people have are not able to get their PlayStation 3 controller connected it is most likely that the USB cable is faulty.  Next you need a USB OTG cable these are pretty easy to find but make sure it says USB OTG.  I've seen some micro USB to standard USB female adapters that look exactly like that but they're not USB OTG connectors. So make sure it says USB OTG.<br /> <br /> A stand would definitely help for the galaxy note 2 .  An external battery charger for the galaxy note 2 makes an excellent stand for gaming.  <br /> <h3> Other Tips</h3> When you plug in your PS3 controller and it will not immediately turn on you need to pass on the P PlayStation button just press and hold on it. When you hit the directional buttons you see see the blue square you can see the button is working however say that you were running a game previously for example asphalt 7 if that game running in the background, it will actually intercept those inputs so will not react with your home screen because it is trying to interact with the game.  One last thing I want to mention about the lights on the PlayStation 3 is that they really have no correlation between anything that's going on the galaxy note 2 and PlayStation 3 controller.  There's no need to pay attention to these lights because sometimes they are on when they're charging, sometimes they are not.  It really is no indication that it is communicating correctly.<br /> <h3> Conclusion</h3> I think it is a good move in the right direction for Gameloft.  It seems a little counter-intuitive to use a controller on a smartphone but honestly the sophisticated games are too demanding for smart phones touch screen and even though we now have smart phones that can produce rich 3D graphics, you may still need a controller to enjoy these games<br /> <br /> One more interesting bit of info EA has yet to start supporting the PS3 controller on the Android but it seems like they are starting to support MOGA controllers now on games like Need for Speed Most Wanted.  All in all, this is good news for gamers on the Android platform.
