OK one feature that is missing is the ability to go to S-voice and instead of saying something, writing it, this was available in the S-voice app on Note 2, not English UK but English US.

Just take s pen out, hold button on s pen while pressing s pen on screen. Easiest way to do screen shot.
Awesome....like you said this was right under my nose and I didn't even see it. It doesn't "see" everything correctly, but, it does get the majority of it right.It's funny how you don't see thing until someone shoves it in your face... In the contacts app there is a new icon with a picture of a business card with a small camera over the lower right corner of the card. Tap on that, take a picture of a standard business card and Viola! it captures all the info in contact fields that you can edit before you save.
Open Contacts, tap on the + symbol
Choose where you want the new contact saved
Tap on the Business card icon
Take a photo of the card. Try it without flash in a well lit room for best results.
Check the details
Tap on Save
Thanks to The Daily Note II/3 - Samsung Galaxy Note 2 & Note 3 Daily Videos for pointing this out for us.
Holding the power and home button is the easiest way to screen shot IMO. No need to take out the spen

Didn't know this either. So, once you capture the material on the screen, how do you paste it somewhere else? Thanks
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 is the whole point of Knox .. Your work environment / Exchange will stay sandboxed. FOr example, when you setup your account on your phone, they can wipe the device etc. If you setup your account in Knox - it just wipes the Knox environment and leaves your "main" phone area alone.
Sorry, just correcting you. It's a USB hub and not a splitter. A splitter is a cable split into several leads. A hub is like a little box with additional inputs.I've tested a wireless mouse and keyboard via this adapter (with a USB hub) with very good results.
It's referred to as MHL adapter for those looking. But have to be aware that there are several different types in the market. Some require a power lead to power the connection in order to work. If spec'd properly to MHL 2.0 certification standards, the Note 3 should be able to power it on its own.There's also a USB-to-HDMI adapter but I haven't tried that one yet.
With Note 2 and 4.3 JB (assuming it's based on Note 3 settings):With your brightness slider on full brightness turn on the Auto brightness feature when you go outside into bright sunshine. This will increase your brightness even higher than you can do it manually.
With Note 2 and 4.3 JB (assuming it's based on Note 3 settings):
Settings>Display>Brightness
Check Automatic Brightness. You now have a slider to adjust brightness between -5 to +5.
This appears to be another feature on the Note 2 that never made it to the Note 3.
This feature is on the note 3..just pull down the task bar and you will see the option there.

ok, glad it wasn't just me that was wondering because i have that on my notification bar now.
Ever wonder what happens to all those links and other things you have copied to your clipboard before pasting in a post or document? Long press on the microphone key on your Samsung keyboard to find out and delete anything you don't need anymore.
Thanks to members Jeffruby and Klotar in the LG G2 forum for pointing this out. Not specifically a Note 3 tip but pretty cool nonetheless.
Update: You can also reuse clipboard items by just tapping on them after the microphone key long press. You have to redo url tags though.
