[Q] S Note question about pictures - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have one question regarding the S Note app.
As you already know, it's possible to insert a picture into a note, or take a photo and insert it into the note.
My very specific question is:
How can I see the picture just inserted into the note with the Gallery application?
I tried almost everything, but it seems that a picture (or photo) once inserted into a note can be seen only by zooming the note with 2 fingers.
Have anybody find a way?
P.S. A video inserted into a note can be seen (played) by touching it when the note is not open for editing.
Regards,
Stefan

Don't Think So

Had a play on my note 2 for about half an hour because i didn't really think about that problem before i read your post. Ive tried different methods and did a quick google search, couldnt find anything. Seems note users are stuck zooming to see their pictures.

Glad to hear that somebody found the same thing... But sadly that it seems to be true.
What's the point if you cannot have the full picture after inserting it in a note?
I'm starting to be disappointed about S Note. It showed to be a nice app in the beginning.

[Q] OCR input?

Hi all.
I recall reading online prior to the phone's launch that the Note II will feature OCR as a form of text input. Has anyone else come accross this feature yet?
Source:
"Finally, there's the camera - yes, the camera. You can snap a photo of text and the Galaxy Note II will run OCR on it and enter it automatically. The great thing about this is that you don't need an Internet connection for this either. You can fit an entire A4 page and the Note II will transcribe it in a matter of seconds. You'll need to proof-read the text though."

Thank to one and all...
Hope its in the update coming very soon... cause none of those features are on the note2 (mine is from UK)
No. I don't think that feature made it into the update, unless it's in some non-obvious place. Shame.

Yes - you can switch to pen input on the keyboard. You can set the keyboard to automatically switch to pen mode when the pen is taken out. It works remarkably well.
Edit: OCR is not pen - doh!

S-Note Question

Hi Everyone,
In the video below, at around 2:30, the S-Note app is launched and it opens a New Note at start-up. I haven't been able to do that. Whenever I launch S-Note, it opens a list of existing books by type, with a plus sign on the top right, which has to be tapped in order to create a new note. How can I configure S-Note to open a New Note automatically at start-up, like in the video? I appreciate all help.

Of course. What I found out is that there is actually no way of doing what I wanted. In the video, what happened is that most certainly the Notes app had already been opened and all the steps needed to create a new note had already been taken, and the app was running in the background. So then, in the video, when the app was "opened" from the Multi-Window, it seemed that it was being launched, but actually it was only being brought to the foreground.
Regards,
Alan
If you wanna open a quick note just hold the button on the s-pen and double tap the screen.

[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!

Editing in the Gallery app

Hi. Has anyone tried to edit a photo using the default Gallery app? Coming from the S7 and S8, I find the editing functions in the app so lacking. There is not even away to change the brightness or sharpness or anything like that. (See attachments)
The funny thing is, when I read online tutorials, people explains about functions I do not see in my app. So I thought I'd make a post to see if someone has similar experiences

Tap the dots on the upper right corner and select open in Photo Editor Pro. Your best results (shadows, highlights etc) will be using raw files - shot in Pro mode.
