Honestly everyone of these pales in comparo to the Google Search that is built into Jelly Bean.
Since the Note2 has Jelly Bean, does it not? Don't bother with anything else.
"What does a weasel look like?" BAM
"What was the score of the Browns game?" BAM
"How old is Betty White?" BAM
"Appointment in my calendar Jan 23rd at 9AM" Bam. Opens Calendar on that day at that time, click edit to add some details.
Beats Siri on the Apple handily.
Confused about being unable to add a PDF or anything to an Email already composed. I have never seen a problem like that in any Android phone/tab. So is there no ATTACH button in the Gmail App for Note2?

This is what I just discovered. Althought the Voice recognition is not where close to as good as my Droid II or III whatever it was, I think it just needs time to learn. However I was amazed at what the new google system will do.
I played with Siri and this thing is what I wished Siri was but found out it was not. "Calender Donnie's Birthday Monthtember 12 all day" That is it. I do no tneed to touch anything sons birthday is calendered. It loaded infomration form Facebook for all of my firends and now when they call their facebook picture pops up. No need to put in pictures for each person. I ahve only begon to uncover the treasures this system has to offer.
The s-pen is totally useless IMO. Still it does nto hurt anythign to have it. SOmetimes I type with it if I am tired. It is more accurate than my fingers when I am totally exhausted.
Battery life is execellent.
Everyone says the speaker phone sounds great except my dad. He says he cannot hear me. On my end, the speaker phone is not loud enough.
I still frequently have trouble using it one handed. It is a bit too wide. A good bluetooth with voice commands will help. However i have nto figured out which one will do what I want. I think I need the $100 Plantronics Voyger.
Saying "wake up" to unlock the screen has never worked.
S voice - never use it. the google system is way better.
Google VR is improving. Still has a long way to go to get where I was with my old phone.
I do nto like the button you use to turn it on. It is tiny and hard to find.
I kept getting meesages sayng I had too many windows open. I did nto know what to do. I went to the Verizon booth and they showed me how to turn them off (tap the meaningless shape at the top right). Turns out Just about every internet window I have opened since I got the phone was still open. good thing I do not look at embarrassing things on the internet.
A full charge takes a long time on the charger.
I cannot find a decent geochaching app. My daughters have a eally neat one on their Windows phones. I downloaded the most popular one for Android and it deos nto really work at all. Any suggestions?
Camera is good outside, poor inside.
This thing makes a great flashlight for walking though a dark house at night.
After a week plus, no problem with the size fitting in my pockets. However if it is your front pants pocket and you get in the car, you are not getting it out of your pocket without getting back out of the car.
IT is easy to open and edit word documents with Office Suite ($5), but then I could nto E-mail it back to myself. when I tried to save it, it said I needed to instal Office Suite front package. I hope i am not paying another $5 for this. Maybe it is the same program. Still playing wiht this office suite thing. Edit: It is Fonts not front and it does cost another $5. This app may be a scam. $5 for the app, $5 for fonts, what is next?
I still need the VR ti improve a lot, but once it does, I think I will love this phone.
