Anyone know of an app that turns your screen off without pressing the power button? I use Screen Off and Lock on my Evo but it isn't supported yet on the N7.
Try GoSwitch.

Button Savior Though I can't say for sure it works with 4.1
There is an app called Turn Off the Lights which works really well.
i use lockscreen widget on my Galaxy nexus.... does the job great... hopefully it also works on the nexus 7....
Get a smart case
Like ragnarokx said, get a smart case to turn the screen on and off automatically.We're just stuck waiting for the manufacturer to get their act together and fill store shelves with them.
Thanks for the suggestions. Yea, I'm definitely getting a smart case as soon as there's something to my liking. I wish the official N7 case had stand functionality.
try screen off and lock in google play....

Take a stand for what its worth. They usually add bulk.
My wife has an Ipad2 for roughly a year now and has had the smart cover all along. She only uses it to fold it up as more of a handle, and she never, repeat, never uses it as a stand.

I think a stand is definitely useful for watching movies.

If you're on a train, or an airplane and you're watching a movie, I'd agree.
I have a home theater at home for that.
I use a stand every night when I'm using the Kindle app. Very handy sitting for long stretches of book reading

That's weird. It wasn't working for me so I uninstalled it. I'll give it another shot.
You could try *not* mashing the button like an American Gladiator?
I've never had trouble with a power button failing. I treat it like an electronic device and it lasts far beyond the time I use it for. There's no need to find other means of using a device that comes with its own.
Well, I'm coming from the note 1 and the difference is like night and day! Aside from the beastly specs, the feel is just so incredible! ! But this isnt a thread about all the things you love about the phone, it's about what you don't. I'll start.
PLEASE DONT MENTION MULTIWINDOW. I'M PISSED OFF TO.
Not a fan of the amount of time it takes to turn on when you press the power button, meaning wake up time...
I'M OUT!!
My biggest issue with the Note 2 is that it keeps me from doing real work or wanting to see my family or shave or take a bath or sleep. I should be sleeping now but guess what i am doing, tweaking the layout, testing apps that never really worked on older phones. Aahhhhhhh, see my frustration?

Which apps do you mean if you dont mind my asking?
lol interesting thread - i've had my note for a total of 2.5 hours so far (side by side with my S3) and i've got to say (having used the original note) the overall feel is nice, very rounded, a bit slippery perhaps (nothing a skin cant fix)
the pen still feels lighter than i'd like and the button is a bit more recessed than i'd like
the home button is awesome and much more responsive than my stock s3
a similar complaint to my s3 but when grabbing the device from the bottom edge, i have a tendency to tap the menu / back buttons on accident, a bit annoying when not using a case
the glass is nice, the feel of the pen on the screen is much more controlled than the original
nfc, yay! google wallet downloaded, would message ' not compatible' on open and shut itself down... boo..
the volume and home button have a nice confident click and feel compared to the s3 and original note...
i posted my grey'd positive comments in your other thread...

Man... youre right about the home and volume buttons... i forgot
Google Wallet not working.
Lack of multi windows.
The pen feels a bit cheap still (loved the feel of the Palm Tungsten metal ones that were telescopic). Though fixable as I think I'll get a dual use pen/pointer to keep in pocket/briefcase, I'm a fairly large bloke too, so having that larger pen will help too, this current one isn't really of a decent size/thickness/weight to use for long periods of time, I think my hand would 'claw' up.
Lack of cases for a while (the official 'flap' one is good, got it at last but was making me twitchy not having it protected. Wish there was a good/cheap pouch type case to slide it in for extra protection). And/or the 'flap' phone case, the front of it, the actual flap, is wonderful to touch, but the back is the same uber slippery plastic that the default one is. Can NFC not be done through a very slightly thicker case with a built in rubberised coasting, as the Nexus7 has? This thing is still very, very slick, and I can see with slightly sweaty hands, I'll need to be extra careful.
The built in Samsung Keyboard (that is SO incredibly good with the Swype/cool T9 like swype functionalty/left/right handed), but doesn't scale to other resolutions if you tweak the lcd dpi. REALLY a great keyboard, please make it scale! No, best keyboard I've ever used, and it's keeping me from tweaking the dpi.
The knowledge that when I do inevitably flash CM on this, I'll probably end up losing TMobile wifi calling, that for me, is working wonderfully.
Touch wiz is mildly... odd. But not as bad as seen before, JB's ability to disable things is really helping. But what annoys me somewhat is the different functionality for no other reason than to do it different it appears, and needing a few extra apps (like the photo editor) downloaded when built in apps rely on it.
Oh, no 32mb NII's in TMobile, and so much of the 16GB filled with Bloatware (steady Cyanogenmod, steady... your day will come).
So, all pretty minor (hopefully constructive) criticisms. Overall, still mad impressed with this phone. All phones should have the option to have it work with a stylus as well integrated as this.
If I had the chance to order things to be fixed;
Wifi Calling for Tmobile as an installable app so I'd be less twitchy about flashing with other roms.
Rubberised back.
My personal gripe, is about how much my GN2 looks and feels like an iPhone. In everyway, from the straight lines, to the rounded corners, and don't get me started with the app drawer. The smoothness of page transitions, Google Now.
OK.. I was just kidding guys! LOL.
My real gripes -
1 the on/off button on the exact opposite side of the device as the volume rocker. They should have put it up on top.
2 No dedicated camera button.
3 I always loved scrollable wallpaper, which I feel I shouldn't need to root, and re-rom for it.
4 No auto spell correct from the stock Samsung keyboard.
5 Oh yeah, NO [email protected]#$KING MULTI-SCREEN. - sorry, had to get that one in.

The battery life is too good. The phone is too gorgeous.
Only gripe is the call volume being a bit on the low side even when maxed. Speaker is loud enough though.
I'm sure they're apks to tweak it a bit but I'm too busy enjoying the phone so i'll search for a fix later.
Somerhing for me is the screen keeps timing our evn with the option checked to see my eyes... also when it goes out and I press home button it goes home instead of waking up to the app I was on. Everyother phone did not do this. Is this just me or is there a setting?
I came from the S3, and love everything about my Note 2. I can't say one bad thing about it.

Size once in a while, I'm 5'7 so I guess that means I have smaller hands? For the most part I dont have an issue but some times my hand gets fatigued from using it too much...Not complaining but sometimes I wish they kept the 5.3 and made it narrower it'd be perfect for me.
I don't like that we can't use our S-Pen on our soft keys. It would be great to be able to hit the menu and back buttons with the pen and have them respond.
i dont like the physical home button,but not enough to keep me from buying it, i think next year it will be all cap.buttons.oh well i'll get it when its available
What do you guys mean when u say no multi windows ? I have a gs3 and really weighing if is worth getting the note 2 or sticking with the gs3 or the nexus 4 but thats another story

So if you want to tap while hovering. Get the s pen close to the screen and put your finger under the s pen tip and press the tip in. I just found out that the screen isn't the one recognizing the taps. The s pen has a sensor that tells the phone that it is touching the screen. Maybe many of you knew this but I just found out so wanted to share!

Neat! Even though you would have to practice to be able to do it well, since it is so tiny.
They should have added an extra button on the pen to do that action.
Ya I really wish they did. I been trying to find some kind of method to tap while hovering for a longggg time
I wish clicking the button on the S-Pen could function as a tap so I could browse like this...

That would be pretty cool.. It's probably just a matter of time here at XDA.
Actually I might get an extra pen & try to take this on. If the phone can register a click while hovering using your trick (which I tried and it definitely does), it should theoretically be possible to remap the hard-button to tap into the same trigger that the phone recognizes when the pen's tip is pressed. It's gonna be a ***** getting this pen apart but at least the button is close to the tip :good:.
If anyone knows where to get a note 2 pen for less than $50 let me know..
EDIT: Just discovered that if you hold your finger over the tip of the pen (keeping the tip depressed) you can scroll/tap/etc. when you're within an inch or two of the screen.. Intersting

That would be amazing. If you go on Samsung site, they have s-pens for $30 and there's a coupon that gives you 50% off if you register your note 2 on samsung website.

The idea that I was thinking of, as a spin-off to the OP's comment, was having a pen modified so that you could just wave over the screen to move around within the OS and just tap the button to interact. Obviously it's not a game-changer but it would be fun playing some games or even swyping without having to touch the screen.
There might even be a way to modify a glove or something that works in a manner similar to kinect.. of course you'd have to be pretty close to the screen but still might be a fun little project to play around with.. Anyway, extra pen is on it's way.. we'll see where this goes.
I think you could just remove the s-pen button cover and adjust the sensitivity pot and achieve the same thing?
Prety neat trick consideringi have the invisable shield and the spen destroys it

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but another cool spen trick that I happened upon while hovering is switching from pen to eraser by clicking the spen button.
Since it looks like we are starting a Cool S-Pen thread here it works ridiculously well in splashtop and gives you a super responsive and accurate mouse
And as for figuring out a way to click without touching the screen it would probobly be easier to swap the input events rather than physically modding the pen

Wow that's a much better idea than the hardware mod I was thinking of.. I'm an absolute beginner at coding & hardware comes easily to me so I don't feel too stupid for not thinking of it.
Ideally I want to try & write an app that would give you the option of switching the preset input events on the fly so I could go from normal spen use to "hover" spen mode with an IME type notification or something.. Now where to begin

It is the app is called TV. There is a bunch of configuration but it will let you record the IR blasts from remotes and then control those devices. I have mine configured to control the projector in my classroom (I'm a teacher...not a clever and slightly evil student).

Yeah, it's built right into the Power Button. Which I think is quite nice (aesthetically). My only gripe with it is that none of the cases will cover this giving you a little more button response like the volume buttons.

I think if you covered the IR blaster, it wouldn't work. That's the whole point. However, I don't think that applies with transparent cases. I only have a basic understanding of how IR works.
Yeah, that's what I was getting at.
I have a transparent TPU case that's still cut out, I've learned to live with it. I just like having more button response that most HTC phones give you. That's one of the reason I never LOVED the DNA until I got the specific case I had.
Otherwise, I love my phone :good:
I have the Mophie battery case. It covers the power button, makes it easier to press and the IR still works with it.

That's because the power button allows the IR to pass through it.
Its such a big case though. Is it worth it?

Ordered it from Amazon a day or two before I got the phone. It arrived the day I got the phone, so I've only had it for the weekend.
It's designed well, a section of the top pulls off and the phone slides into the bottom with a snug fit. There's a reassuring snap when putting the the top back on and I have to use both hands to take it apart, so I'm not concerned about it opening on its own. And it's not so tight to the point of worrying about breaking the phone trying to get it out of the case. It's a comfortable medium.
There is a small lip around the edge of the screen, but it doesn't interfere with me using programs with side swipe gestures like SwipePad, or accessing all the keys on the on-screen keyboard.
The buttons are significantly easier to find and press than on the phone itself. As mentioned, the power button is translucent allowing the IR commands to still pass through it.
My previous phone was the Evo 4g lte with the seidio battery case. Laying the two phones on a flat surface, they are about the same thickness, but the Mophie case it's noticeably longer. I work at a plant an my phone lives in the pocket of my FR shirt, so the size doesn't really bother me.
Receiving the case on the weekend, I haven't had a chance it test the battery yet. I don't have the best reception at the plant, I'm usually in the yellow around 3:30 pm because the radio is working so hard trying to find and keep a signal. I will report back in a few days with the results.
On the back of the case, there's a button that when pressed, lights up 4 white leds to indicate how much charge is left in the battery case. It takes a little effort to press the button, and you have to hold it in for a small period of time, so I'm not worried about anything in my pocket setting it off.
There's a switch to turn the charging on or off, it is flush with the case, but I don't have any issue moving the switch despite having practically no fingernails. There is also a bit of resistance to toggle it.
The external micro usb port works well for days pass through. I would often have issues with the Seidio case appearing as a "unknown device" when I plugged it in, and would have to remove the case in order to transfer. No issues with the Mophie case.
Because of the length, letting the bottom rest in your palm while using the phone can make it difficult to access the top of the phone or the notification bar. Wrapping fingers around the back and letting the bottom hang out still lets more access the majority of the phone.
Hope this answers anything you had questions about, let me know if there is anything else.

Expensive case... Though from the looks of it you get what you pay for without a doubt.
It isn't cheap, but I'd rather pay the money for this case with functionality than than having to order a cheap case with no functionality multiple times because it keeps breaking.

I reviewed it last month.
http://www.droidmatters.com/news/review-mophie-juice-pack-for-the-htc-one/
When I get paid this case is mine...
I have a UAG case that I got off amazon. It seems like it was designed with the IR device in mind, because there is a small cut out in the power button cover.
Got my nexus today and the official quick cover I ordered came with it too, even though the order indicated part dispatch. I had assumed this meant the case had been delayed.
Have to say it is a very nice case, feels great, nice snug fit and it is really thin. While it is still bedding in the front flap is lifting slightly when closed (see pic) but I am sure this will give a bit in the next few day's.
Not worth £35!!!!! But it is a nice case. If the spigen one is as nicely made (seem to be looking at pics and reviews) then it will make them a bargain
Nice, but I REALLY miss the Nexus sign from the back...

You had me going there for a moment - I had to reach all the way past my keyboard at work to test your theory.
Phew, I am not an idiot after all, although most of my daily actions would prove otherwise, LGoogle have forgotten to poke a hole in their case!
I will have to ring them and see if they can mail me a hole upgrade? If the makers of polo mints can remember to put holes in their products, I don't see why LGoogle can't
What do you think Google will charge me for postage on a hole?
I really like it but to bad the nexus logo on the back is lost
Id love to get this but losing the nexus logo is a no go for me. I think ill just buy a real bumper.
Does that mean that the front flap isn't magnetized? I'd heard it was and that when you open it, it unlocks your screen.

I have the case as well myself. The flap IS magnetised. The magnet is actually located above the volume buttons, so that when closed the magnet touches the screen glass over the volume buttons.
And I agree, while the case is nice, it definitely isn't worth £35, more like £15 and that's pushing it.

Ok...how did you guys get the case? When I look in the Google Play store, it says "coming soon". I'm in Canada (eh?) and never have any issue purchasing other stuff. I got the white Nexus 5 and thought the white flipcase would look SIC!!!
I received my Quick Cover with my Nexus 5 on Monday. First time I have used a case like this and I must say I am impressed. It feels premium (perhaps not £35 premium) and does not add as much bulk to the phone as I expected.
I for one am glad it has no notification light hole as the light used to wake me in the night on my bedside table.
One question to any other owners, is the rear too thick for wireless charging to work?

Pretty sure wireless charging is fine with this case, think I read it somewhere?
I am sure LGoogle wouldn't overlook this, especially considering they are releasing a charger for the nexus devices too.

We were the lucky few that were able to grab one at launch, they ran out pretty quick though

The hole in the picture is at the top for the earpiece so you can talk on the phone with the cover closed...
What happens if the flap is closed, you receive an incoming call and open the flap? Does that automatically answer the call? What happens to a call when you close the flap?
Thanks for your feedback.

Opening the flip just turns on the screen. All it does is it saves your pressing the power button. You still have to swipe to unlock if you have it turned on, still have to enter your unlock code etc. When there's an incoming call, after opening the flip you still have to swipe to answer/reject/silence the call. And closing the flip doesn't end calls either, it just turns off the display, or the speaker hole on the flip would be pointless.
