[Q] Use Note 2 for editing on mac - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
I do a little photoshop editing on my macbook, and I'd love to be able to use my Note 2 as a tool to help edit photos. I have tried Splashtop a little, but I was really after something a little better. I'd really like to be able to kind of use my phone as a mouse sort of, but actually use the pen instead.
Is this possible?
thanks
dean

you are planning to use note 2 as a touch input right?
maybe you should google it.

Well it is a wacom digitizer, sounds great!
Maybe run vnc server on the mac and a vnc client on your phone? Not sure how well that would work resolution wise. I haven't tried using TeamServer for a tablet purpose, but that may also be an option.
I'd like to hear what you find works best.

one note

hi everone,
i was wondering if there is a program on hermes that is like one note on the desktop. i mean with rich features.
the best one i found was creative notes, but i need more functionality.
any suggestions?
thanks
MMM
Guess onenote for ppc doesn't cut it for you then.
Any particular functionality you have in mind, or do you just want it to do stuff?
Edit: Upon reading it, that post sounded really sarcastic. It was only meant to be kinda sarcastic and kinda asking for more information so I might help.
if you used one note on desktop pc you will know what i mean. i mean that it organizes notes under major categories and also by date.
sorry if i wasnt clear in the first post
MMM
Verenaa,
Larsuck was trying to tell you that one note also exists for the ppc/pda. So if you like it that much on your PC you can also get it for your portable PDA.

[Q] Galaxy Note II Bluetooth MAP profile support?

I've seen some specs that say it supports bluetooth MAP profile, and some specs that omit it. The Samsung spec sheet doesn't seem to list it (at least not the one I've found). Before I buy this phone, I want to make sure the text messaging will work with my Ford Sync system which requires MAP profile to convey the text messages.

I'll test it tomorrow and let your know. I know it didn't work on the GSIII.

Sounds good. Also, let me know what Sync hardware system & S/W version you have. From the research I've been doing, it makes a big difference. FYI - there are a lot of people who have gotten their Galaxy SIII bluetooth MAP profile working with Sync. Try the method posted by "arlinto" on 10/22 about half way down the thread.

MAP works
MAP works beautifully in my '11 Ford Edge (MFT/SYNC) with the NOTE II

I'll have to check that out. I couldn't get the text message to work with SYNC and my Note II. I have a 2011 Ford Fusion. Not sure how to find hardware/software version in the SYNC. Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
*EDIT* OK, so I read the androidcentral link you sent me and I have the basic Ford SYNC. I'm going to try what they suggested and see if I can get it work that way. I'll post findings tomorrow.

I'm very interested to see if this method works. I think it is for the Sony w/ Navigation version of the hardware. At least my interface matches the steps.

I spent a good 10 mins dicking around with my SYNC and Note II. I don't have a MAP profile setting so I couldn't do it that way, nor could I find any other way. So, I'm guessing if you just have the basic SYNC system it won't work. Again that is just a guess, I haven't done much research on this whole thing however. Anyway, hope this helped some and if not sorry. I hope someone can shed more light on this for you.

Thanks for trying. My buddy works at Sprint so I might just have him bring me a Note 2 to test out before I go and buy it.
Good idea. Hope it works out for you. :thumbup:

[Q] - Note 2 Noob

Hello there,
it's now been 1 week since I have my new Note II. Must say: awesome
I know that I haven't discovered all phones feature but I'm exited to discover them. Last cool thing found out: Say "Cheese" to make a photo :laugh:
I've got some question :
1) Actually I've got a TPU case but I would to change it. I'd like to have a Diary Case but I could not find any usefull. The biggest problem was to extract the S-Pen with the diary case I've tested. I'd like to have one that does not have this problem and that have a hole to hear well calls without open it. It should protect well if it accidentally fall down (but I didn't like things like Defender Case). Could you suggest anything?
Optional : Have the possibility to put the phone horizontally
2) When I press the Home button, when it is in stand-by, I must wait 1 second before I can unlock my phone. Why? I'd like to have it immediately. I already disables S-Voice, anything else to do?
3) I'm searching a little bluetooth keyboard, not little as the phone. I was asking me: should I search for a keyboard with trackpad or is it not usefull? (I need the keyboard mainly to take notes)
4) S-Pen : Do you manage to write properly? Is there a cheat or anything? :silly: I've have tested to write something but it seems hard for me
5) Are there any Must-Have apps for Note 2?
6) I've have got problem with the stock email app. Doesn't download mail even with syncro on etc, I delete the email and then he re-download it. Is this normal?
Thanks a lot guys :good:
PS. Power to the Note 2!!

I cant answer all the question as i do not have any knowl3dge about the accesories for note 2
Ques2: try and go to the developer option and turn off all the animations or maybe change it to ×0.5
Ques 4: yes, but i have heard that some have got a too sensitive s pen, and if you have that you should get it replaced

Thanks for the answer. Seems not to be gone this way..
Really? Should I give them back the phone to get it replaced?
Adding another Q..
I've got a Galaxy S charger, can I use that to charge the Note 2 without problem?
No one could help?

1- you should really visit a accessory or mobile shop which keeps all kinds of stuff, there you'll see variety. seeing just the pic and ordering isn't gonna satisfy you
2- I really hate when people curse about waiting 2-3 seconds for a job to be done. i mean how long can be one second
3-you should search galaxy note 2. in my opinion lend a normal Bluetooth keyboard and see if it works with your phone. i read it's possible, but try it first.again accessory store could help. i saw a apple keyboard being connected to note 2.
4- you gotta practice with the s pen. i have used the phone for 2 weeks, and with continuous typing(swype) i manage to write well. do try swiftkey3 and swiftkey flow with pen. they are good apps.
5-must have- no, there isn't actually much use imao, according to my daily use, maybe for others it is. yeah i do make drawings for time pass or write memos instead of typing them in my stupid and not understandable by normal beings , s note and paper artist are enough imao. if you do a lot of video viewing or are new to android air view might help or really are a multitasking user or a busy one, multi window should be a delight.
6-if you can normally use it now just don't give a damn what happened
hope i helped you. if i did hit thanks

Create your own list of 'must have apps' according to your preferences.
For me it would be Opera Mobile, Kindle, Kobo, UB Reader, Google Translate, Merriam-Webster, Advanced English Dictionary and Thesaurus, Quickoffice Pro, Note Everything, Currency, Astro File Manager, Endomondo, Sports Tracker, NBA Game Time, MX Player Pro, Winamp Pro, PowerAmp Pro, Sound Hound, TuneIn Radio Pro, Convertor Pro, Gallery Lock Pro, Smart Tools, a dozens of games and of course xda premium

[Q] Is Samsung done developing S-Note?

The ONLY thing that makes me even think about buying a wildly overpriced Windows 8 tablet is the ability to use OneNote. The sad part is that S-Note is just so damned close to being a OneNote killer app but it seems like Samsung got 80% of the way there and JUST QUIT.
Let's start with the unreadable .snb standard. As far as I can tell, even .snb readers for Windows can't read it. Unless you export your S-Notes as .pdf''s you are pretty much screwed being able to view them on your Desktop. So why would Samsung choose such an obscure standard with zero compatibility? Next can we talk about Templates? How hard would it be for Samsung to include a Template Editor so the grown-ups can create and save their own Templates instead of being forced to use the few Samsung thinks we all want? How about being able to create and save typing styles? How about being able to restart voice recording on a previously created S-Note? How about being able to embed a recording within a specific spot in your S-Note? If I can embed a video why can't I embed a recording? One of the best things about OneNote is being able to search on written text. Samsung, any ideas on that? How about being able to place a typing cursor just by clicking the screen where I want it? How about automatically typing around pictures instead of over them? How about being able too cut and move blocks of text?
So much about S-Notes just doesn't seen done to me, but as far as I can tell, those crazy Koreans at Samsung think it's perfect as is.
Please Samsung, I don't want to buy a Windows 8 tablet but you are forcing my hand.
** I am hoping that the new Awesome Note app coming with the Note 8.0 will solve some of these issues assuming we'll be able port it to our Note 2.

Why don't u do the work and forward the post that you wrote here to Samsung ... you have a better chance of it happening i if you were to send your recommendations to Samsung ... Not many on here work for Samsung I am guessing ....
Maybe they just don't have creative people on this app. ... maybe they would give you something as a reward. .. never know until you try ... or you could learn Java code your own app and instant profit

Awesome idea! Please give me the personal email of the Head of S-Note Development at Samsung and I'll get right on that. While you are at it, link me to the Samsung Support Forums on their website - oh that's right, Samsung doesn't have Support Forums.
I'm so happy a super-connected guy like you came along to solve the problem.
Also, I really should have bought a Java book and rewritten the entire S-Notes app myself as you suggest. I'm so dumb. I could have made millions!

Why don't you do a search finding samsungs emails isnt that hard. Or you could just keep stomping your feet and crying about it. That's really productive. :thumbdown: samsungs forum's aren't on samsung.com but Google can tell you how to find em if you actually, you know, searched.
Edit: just cuz I'm feeling nice http://developer.samsung.com/forum/en took all of 2 seconds searching "samsung + forum" on teh googlez
I like to break stuff!

Touchscreen input with fingers while using SPen?

Hi Note 2 users!
I'm using a new app which would benefit if I could use the SPen and my fingers on the touchscreen.
As soon as I use the SPen I can't use my fingers the touchscreen.
My Note 2 doesn't recognize them anymore...
Is there a way to enable touchscreen input and SPen at the same time? It would be great if someone could help me out with this problem.
That's generally up to the app developer to enable touch while the stylus is also being read, from what I recall reading the spen SDK docs.
-----
I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
=( So the app developers have to manually add something in the code of their app to enable this?
I don't think that they will do that...
Even if it id something many people with SPen would like to see.
