The character stays more on the right even when I hold the phone straight. What should be calibrated to fix this problem ? Thanks

I know that game is VERY sensitive on Android (compared to my iPhone) but I remember that there is an option in the game to adjust the sensitivity, try that, because I know if I even just shake the phone a little bit, the character reacts to my movement.
I tried that That doesn't do any good

Then it sounds like there is an issue with your gyroscope, there are some apps that will help you calibrate it, but I think it is only app level, not system level. Check another game that uses the gyroscope and see how that behaves, try a racing game demo, most of those have the option.
Tried lane splitter. Keeps going towards the right on its own. Know any app which could use root permissions and calibrate it universally ?

I used an app called GPS status. Calibrated the accelerometer and it seems to have fixed the problem in all games

How is the S-pen?
With the current Note the writing in landscape mode is pathetic - the resolution is lower and it lags as hell. Writing under different angles is also a huge problem. Has those been fix in Note 2.
Handwriting is awesome. Never liked it on my note 1 but I'm using it alot now. you can write non-horizontal text and it will still recognize it reasonably well. I think that they are using JB's spell check and auto-correction to improve the recognition.

Hey guys, I was wondering if this feature drains the battery significantly or not? Did a search but didn't really get any results, can anyone comment here?

I don't think it actually use any extra battery due to the way the S-Pen works. The s-pen is detected above the screen whether or not you have air view on or off.
You can test it for yourself by holding the s-pen above the screen close enough for air view to work and clicking the nub on the pen in with your nail, it's all to do with electromagnetism as far as I know.

You can even use your phone without touching it. Just put your finger over the tip of spen, and go close to your screen...
Handwritten from my Note 2
Swipe your hand slowly over the sensor and the phone will show time, missed calls, messages, and battery percentage. I think it's a pretty tight feature. Was just wondering how many people actually knew about it and use it.

It's a nice feature but I wonder how much battery it will drain? If you think about it, in order for it to respond when you put your hand over the sensor, it means the sensor is always going to be on. That means something is running all the time.

I do use it. the first few days I had the Note II I kept wondering why is it turning on by itself. there was no ad about it like the other touchwiz features of the S III on youtube. then I found lots of touchwiz features on settings. LOTS.

Good point about battery life, but battery life on this device is so good at least for me. I'm willing to to sacrifice what ever drain it does use tho. I love this freakin phone.

Just checked, this feature keeps the proximity sensor always on when the screen is off. To test, turn the phone of in a dark room, you should see a red glow in the sensor.

Even laying the phone flat on my side table it seems to work sometimes. This feature is good but seems to be hit and miss.

I tried using it for a while and noticed it had noticeably more battery drain for me. I guess YMMV though.

I also experienced a noticable battery drain after enabling the feature. Then when I turned my screen on it would not sleep. Rebooted and it works fine.

Its a really nice feature for when ur walkimg around ur office or house and just wanna see if u have any missed txt, but i did read something online where it drained the battery super fast. So i shut the feature off and i literally got 5hrs more out of the battery, wasn't worrying through out the work day if it was gonna die.

used it for about an hour, was pretty meh. Good concept, but bad implementation. I have my phone on my desk and it was always turning on and off. But when I needed it to to show me quick glance data, it worked about 50% of the time.
The only thing from that menu I love is the Palm Swype to screen capture.

I have been testing the quick glance feature and noticed that it works best in low light conditions, especially in darkness..
I sleep with my phone on my bed (I use it as my alarm clock) and with the lights out quick glance works for me every time. I have gotten to like it because the screen is much easier on the eyes, at night (dimmer), than hitting the power button to check the time/notifications. I disable it during the day though.
The Palm swipe for a screen shot is awesome. It is a much faster way to take a screen shot than having to take out and use the S-Pen.. I wish the screen didn't turn white while swiping though. Not a big deal I just think the loud click upon taking the shot is enough to let the user know the shot had been taken.
I used it when I got my Note in November but as mentioned, it does cause a very noticeable battery drain.

my favorite on there too. I used the quick glance the first few days then just got tired of it. I prefer the smart alert, it vibrates when I go pick it up if I have a missed call or message.

So I've read a few posts from some users and saw a video in youtube but I'm confused. Does auto-brightness save battery life or not? Because some say it dims the display, but others say it's constantly using the light sensor to search for the lighting of the room (lux auto brightness uses the light sensor whenever the phone screen is turned on)
So auto brightness yay or nay?

I haven't noticed a HUGE difference in battery life using auto-brightness; on top of that, it always seems too dim for me anyway. I'd rather lose out on that extra 15-30 min of battery life at 100% brightness than I would strain my eyes.

So it's based on opinion on how you like the screen brightness! I prefer a brighter screen too!

I wouldn't draw that same exact conclusion; it would really depend on how heavy a user you are. I, personally am a pretty light user on average, so I wouldn't really experience much of a noticeable difference stretched out over 2 days... but for someone who is a heavier user, that difference could mean an extra 15-30 minutes. Not all that much, but definitely noticeable for people who have their screen on all the time.

I'm a moderate user and I guess brightness for me doesn't really matter, my phone will get through the day anyways!
