Yeah its just 1 screen. i was pleasanlty surpised
Cool, wanted to make sure my phone wasn't jacked up
I'm pretty sure I saw a spot in the settings where you can switch it to the tabbed layout if desired.
When you have the settings menu open, click the menu button, both options are available.

How do you change the time out on the backlight for the screen. I changed it for the keys but my screen goes dark after 5 seconds. Its really annoying when trying to read web pages.

Start menu --> settings --> system --> backlight, "Battery Power" tab, and configure preferred settings.
Also ... Start menu --> settings --> power, "Advance" tab, and configure your preferred settings.
Hope this helps
Yeah I figured it out for some reason the option wasn't under my settings.

Good for you. Just curious, where was that option to configure your backlight, if it wasn't under "Settings"?
Well I installed advance configuration tool and i guess it got rid of it or something. But its under battery setting with that program.

Interesting ... all long as you safely figured it out, that's all that counts
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\QKeyLedTimeout = 30 (DWORD decimal)
30 = 30 seconds

Hey guys, sorry if this has been answered, I did search, I swear!
I've heard I should be able to edit the dock icons other than the app/home icon.. For the love of God I can't figure out how!
Anyone want to enlighten me?
EDIT:
Turns out they called it 'apps' and 'toolbar':

go into the app draw > menu > edit then drag and drop to the toolbar.

Is this in the regular settings menu?
I opened up my applications and then selected the context button and changed the type to custom, and then selected edit.

open app draw > menu > view type > customizable grid > take you back to app draw.
menu > edit > takes you back to app draw > press and hold icon to move it or drag to the tool bar.
Shooooo. That's the antonym of intuitive.
FYI to the OP and to others who may not have know, this and a lot more is in the sticky.
DUH

OMG Thank you so much. I've looked every where, Glad I finally found this thread. It is over a year old but works the same on the Sgs2 ...... Many Thanks
Everytime I open the browser it's dim. I open then menu and change it from "Level 3" to "default." However, the next time I open the browser, it's dim again. Somehow it resets itself to battery saver level 3. Does anyone else get this problem or know how to fix it?
Edit:
Nevermind, I fixed it. There's a Power Saving menu in the main phone settings that affects this. Turn off the Background Color option and you won't have this problem.
Feel free to delete my thread. Or leave it. w/e
When you say that you opened the menu, was that menu in the browser or in the actual phone settings? I'm asking because I can't seem to find the settings for just the browser itself. I'm probably just being stupid, but when I press the menu button while on a Web Page, I do not have the option to go into the browser settings.

You hit the phone's physical menu button while on a webpage and one of the options there is "Brightness and Colors." That's the menu that lets you select power saving levels 1 through 3 or deafult. I just wanted mine on default. It wouldn't stay on default until I turned the Background Color setting off in the Power Saving menu in the Phone's main settings.
Can you send me a screen shot? I did exactly what you did and I do not have that option in my browser. In fact, I'm not sure if this is just a problem with my phone or with all att S3's but I'm missing some settings options. For example, if I go into the display settings, I am unable to change the contrast like I have seen in reviews if the international version of the phone.
Do you have these problems too?

Scroll the menu that pops up in the browser, there are more settings...
Also look in your main settings under power saving. It messes with your browser brightness/color as well
Wow, I am a total idiot. And yeah, I see what you are saying.
Thanks.

Hi guys,
Now that you've spent some time with your Note 3, how about sharing your top recommended tip with the community.
This tip should be more like your personal experience with the device. I'll go first...
Switching to Nova Launcher Prime with system animations set to fast took my user experience to an all new level...be sure to use "zoom fade" effect on nova settings...
Great thread, I used to use card stack, but changed to zoom fade, thanks for the tip, the tip I would share would be invisible lock screen widget, place it on your home screen, and turn your phone on stand by without any icons showing.

Will try this out soon thanks!
Here's another tip: After trying a lot of hd wallpaper apps, I found "ZEDGE" to be the best in terms of wallpaper clarity and variety. I now use this app and filter out newest wallpapers with stunning picture quality.
Quick Torch access
There is a setting to allow the flash to be used a s a torch quickly while the screen is off. You long-press the Volume-Up key to start it, and press the Volume-Down key to stop it. It also has an optional timeout setting.
To get this setting, called 'Torch Light' I use the 'Activity' shortcut in SSLaucher, as it is not in the normal settings. You can also use the 'Activity Launcher' app. Once set, you do not have to set anything again.
Here's a good one....want Developer options? This is bizarre, but go to 'About device' in settings, then to your build number which appears greyed out. Click it about three, four times, it'll say 'you're almost a developer' and then bam it'll say you are, go back to settings and wala, you'll see a new 'Developer Options' tab! Kinda strange way to get it to show, but it works.

Man this has to be the best tip that I've seen so far hands down...I literally installed spare parts plus to get the dev options and make animations faster!
Off to unistall spare parts and see the shiny developer options in settings! Thanks a ton mate!
TIP to Reduce Number of Button Press on Note 3:
So this is a tip to substantially reduce the number of times one has to press the power on and home button.
Install "lock screen widget" from the play store (free) and place on ure home screen...it automatically switches off screen on touch...
For those of you who long press the home button to get the multi tasker up...configure the swipe up action in your non touchwiz launcher to open the "recent apps" list...
*Bump*
- Under Settings--> controls --> SPen you can set S pen Keeper, to alert you if you ever walk away without attaching the Spen. In case you forget it. Which has happened to me twice so far. :silly:
In settings/device/accessibility and under the section of mobility you can select the assistant menu and a little pop-up menu will give you some nifty shortcuts if you are using the s pen and don't want to press the home button of s shame with the pen hahaha it's just terrible to do it.

Thanks for the s pen tips guys...though I've really not come around to using it often on a daily basis.
