Open the camera, turn of the flash by tapping on Settings then the Gear icon, scroll down and set Flash to off. Now tap on the Camera icon, Scroll Down and Turn on Smart Stabilization. Tap on the Back button and you will see the Moon and Star icon in the upper left corner indicating Night Mode is active.
I took this Picture in Night Mode.
This one with Smart stabilization off.

Hold down the button on your s-pen and press it to the screen for 1-2 seconds until you hear a click or see the screenshot taken. This is old hat to Note 2 users but I wasn't one of those. Used to have to go through all kinds of hoops to get one on my Galaxy S2.
blurry pics seem to be a trade mark of the n3!
Not really. I've done just as well so far with my N3 as I have with my N2 or GNex before it. As they squeeze more MP onto the sensor, your hand holding technique has to get that much better. Same thing happened to a lot of photogs who moved from the D70 > D80/D200 > D300/D700 > D600/D800/D7000/D7100.
Of course, the other side of it is noise reduction which smooths over details in photos sometimes. Unfortunately, I haven't seen any camera phone that handles this well.

If you're using Swipe for your Lock screen and have the time displayed you can see the weather and your appointments by long pressing on the clock and pulling down. You go back to the clock by reversing the process. No need to unlock your phone.

Just FYI, for those that do BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) for work (like me), using exchange forces me to use pin lock only...
Just FYI, for those that do BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) for work (like me), using exchange forces me to use pin lock only, so the stock swipe lockscreen can't be used. I used to be able to have both, but the security on my exchange prevents that.
I haven't explored using Knox yet because of the stipulation that incorrect password input would wipe the device, which would not be good for me.
That's odd, because my work uses exchange and I'm able to use swipe unlock just fine. I wonder if your IT department has things set to allow pin or password only. :what:
I have found a way around this. Works on the s4 as well. On the lock screen, change the keyboard to Swype. Then put in your code, such as ghjkl9 into a text message and you will be allowed to add this string to your custom dictionary. Now swyping from the g>>>>>> over puts this string in the lockscreen. Works with Exchange 2010. Are you using a BYOD software package in front of Exchange that prevents this?
couple of my favourites....
- screen shot can also be done by side swiping across the screen with the side of your hand.
I find this method very hard and tricky. My hand always accidentally activate widgets/programs/emails/turn page/etc.
Anyone has the same problem?
Any tutorial/youtube how to do it right?
I never could get it to work on my Note 2 and ran into the same problems. I was just able to get it to work on my Note 3 but in the process, I opened a side menu of the program I was in. So instead of a screen shot of the page I wanted, I've got a menu instead. I'd just stick with the S-pen method as it is just the easiest screenshot method I've seen yet on any phone.
