Show icon when using stylus will show a mouse pointer. Personally I dont like it. So, I dont check it.

Active Display. Cool feature. During lock screen, you could see message coming in the centre of screen. Very useful during lunch/dinner time. Just left you phone facing up...you will see how nice it is.

Swipe DOWN Top right screen to Show toggles.
