Hello everyone. Michael here from The Daily Note II/3 YouTube channel. So just when I
thought I was done discovering every new feature that came with the Android 4.3 update for
the Galaxy Note 2, I found a few more interesting things that came with the update. So let's
check those out. So a while back, I did a video comparing the
keyboard of the Galaxy Note 3 to the Galaxy Note 2. And one thing you couldn't do on the
Note 2 keyboard was swipe continuously. Well, it turns out, now you can after the 4.3 update.
You can type sentences without lifting your finger or stylus off the screen. Just swipe
through the spacebar whenever you need a space in between the words, and just keep swiping
along. One thing that's good about swipe typing is that you can kinda fudge through the letters
and it usually does a really good job guessing the words.
I still think that swiping and lifting your finger off the screen is still more economical,
but in one handed mode, it does feel more natural. One tip though. You shouldn't type
too many words consecutively unless you're really good at it. You might find out that
you've messed up on the last word and it's kind of a pain to correct. When you hit that
backspace button, the entire phrase disappears. So if you need to correct, instead of hitting
backspace, just remember to just remember to hit the spacebar before you hit backspace, then you
can start correcting the words. Next, I'm not sure if this is new, but this
is the first time I've seen it. If you are looking for an ID3 tag editor for your music
files such as mp3 files, you can now edit ID3 tags directly inside the stock music player.
If you have a lot of music files and rely on them to be automatically organized via
ID3 tags, this feature will come in handy one day when you're looking to do some quick
cleanup of how some music files get organized. And one more thing. Inside the music player,
there's a new feature called Smart Volume. It is specifically there to normalize volume
differences for your variety of audio tracks that may have been recorded with different
levels of volume output. I'm guessing it is there to assist you during the instances where
you have to adjust the volume up or down when you find the audio hard to hear or it's hurting
your ears. That does sound like a nice feature however, during my testing I really couldn't
make out any differences. If you guys know how this feature works, please share the information
in the comments below. That's the end of today's video. This time
instead of saying this is the last part of this series of what's new on Android 4.3 for
the Galaxy Note 2, I'll just leave it open ended and add to the series if I find anything
more that's interesting. So make sure you check out any videos that you've missed and
subscribe for more upcoming videos. And as always, thank you for watching.
