[Q] How to use note 2 as tablet peripheral for PC - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
Recently I have started using Microsoft Onenote for my university lectures. And for biology we have to draw a lot of diagrams and my laptop is not a touch screen variant. So I was wondering if there were any apps available that would turn my Note 2 into a tablet peripheral (I think that''s the right term?) This would be very useful for diagrams that I would need to insert into my notes. Thank you

I know it's not the answer your looking for but would you consider downloading a sketchbook type application and drawing what needs to be drawn and then simply sending them to yourself once you get home??

Hey man, thanks for the reply. Yes I could do that I just though it might be easier if it would send automatically. I will try that out though if there are no such apps.

Lol yeah it would be heaps easier to do it to a particular document, but take what you can get I suppose haha

This is not exactly what you need, but perhaps closer:
Use any app to save your drawing as a file, then use dropsync to sync the folder you save drawings in to dropbox, and insert from dropbox on your computer.

SIII doesnt display a lot of stuff my Note did?

My S3 (stock rom/everything) is so much better than my note in every way but one.... (minus the screen size for movies)
On my note I could go to desktop websites and view movies/open emails and all of the pictures would be there... (yes, I select display all images)
On my S3... it says I am missing a plug in, but the plug in isnt compatible for my phone or makes no difference, I cannot remember...
I am sure this is a simple fix, but I dont want to root my phone or any business like that.
Sorry for another Newb question. And I appreciate the help. Its annoying.

Great note taking app?

Yeah, I use my nexus 7 for school, and I'm a Softmor and we take notes a lot, and I was wondering if there was a app, that I could use my stylis to latterly write and it would transfer it to text...so I can print it and put it in my notebook. Thx

Evernote. Hands down best note taking app - will sync to your Evernote account online and all devices you have the Evernote app on will have synced identical data (notes). Virtually impossible to lose your notes unless something happens to your N7 before being able to connect to wifi for syncing

Sorry, jumped the gun on my reply without reading your entire question... Though Evernote may actually have this sort of functionality

I don't have the same needs as you, and just use Papyrus when I need to take notes, and then manually transcribe stuff after the meeting is over. Google suggests PhatPad may do what you're looking for (handwriting recognition & conversion), but I have no firsthand experience with it.

Sorry. That was really bugging me.
Keeping an eye on this myself. Have a lot of meeting coming up I will be writing things down for documentation. Evernote wasn't very friendly for me.

yea used a plain targus stylus too, nothing fancy. had to explore all the features and play around with the app to really get to know everything it can do.
ive tried supernote on the nexus 7 but without any DPI change the app cut off some of the menu bar. I used supernote all the time when I had the transformer, but i like freenote more now since it has the ability to export multiple pages into a single PDF
Evernote!! :laugh:
Here's why:
Simple, and easy to use!
Saves into your account when you put it aside!
Full screen, when you're in note-taking mode!
Spell Check, Features work well together (for example, voice recording as you take notes!), no bugs, no crashing
I recommend using a Bluetooth keyboard. It makes note taking with a phone or tablet
so much easier. It's also awesome, and nice to show off. Way better than having a laptop because of less space, and very light.
You can find a good keyboard for about $50.
I think its essential for taking notes
Check out this thread I've installed it and it works great http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526433
There was a note taking app that came with the transformer prime. It does exactly what you asked. It was ASUS bloat so its not on play store, but you could probably get someone to pull the apk.

Tis called supernote the apk is floating around here if not findable pm found it works best in landscape with dpi of <180 but at the moment I'm quite drunk so best not to put too much stock in what I say. Right now I'm engrossed in the life aquatic
So stay cool
Evernote ++ Swype
As silly as it might seem, i can take notes effectively using Evernote and swype in combination. I was a compulsive note taker in my University days but my handwriting was never good and now it's worse than awful. I find with swype I can enter text pretty quickly - probably as fast as handwriting.
I really want to suggest evernote.
Hands down the best way to keep notes. Its search feature easily scrolls through typed and handwritten notes with ease. I think it also somehow scans images for context.
Regardless of how you get it down, make sure it ends up in evernote.
I am an IT Admin with several certs. When I take cert classes through evernote, I can easily find the information when in the field regardless if I'm on my phone, tablet, PC or anything. Really saves me tons of hassle.
Also these tablets aren't good at handwriting with a stylus. You can do it but it is sloppy. You end up with a mess at the end and it sucks.
Get a Bluetooth keyboard if your better with that, or a good virtual keyboard. Create some folders in Evernote specific to a topic or by class. School/Math101/Chapter7, etc

App like snote that syncs

If this should be in questions, I apologize. Is anyone familiar with an app that would be very close to our snote (stylus capability) that would sync with Google.

What part of Google?

Maybe sync to Google was the wrong way to put it. What I was thinking, was I noticed that when I flashed a new ROM, and brought up the S note app use, all of my old notes we're still there. For that I was very grateful because I forgot to backup the app.
I use a stylus a lot because I use it to draw up drills for soccer practice, to take notes on the sideline during matches in things to cover at half time, training session ideas for my clients , warm up ideas for class, and etc.

I'm sorry; my wording is off. My brain is fried after literally pulling an all nighter to finish my last projects and finals in my educational law and multimedia design classes.
Essentially I want something similar to the S note app where I can use my stylus and has cloud syncing/saving capabilities

Doesn't S-note already sync? I know ive flashed my rom several times (clean) and always my stuff is still there without any sort of restore from TiBu etc.. my guess is that it is syncing maybe to samsung? i know ive logged into my samsung acct as i set up the new rom... and each time everything is there in s-note.. so that would be my guess.. but regardless of who it is doing it with, i think s-note does what you are asking i think.. unless (as above) you are trying to sync it specific to something like google calendar or something
It does sync. However, I am thinking about flashing a ROM that does not have s note app. So I will need to find an alternative

gotcha.. at a loss then.. sorry dont know
evernote should work well as you make an account (and it autofills with your gmail address) and they sync across all devices (i have notes from 2009 lol) i dont know if theres much of a sketchpad type deal with it but i think you can draw if you set the note up right

Anyone else lose S-Notes?

On Saturday I connected my tablet to the internet and my snotes started to dissapear. Anyone else have that happen to them? I have been on the phone with Samsung for the past hour trying to retrieve them........

Thanks for the warning folks.
this is sad and ironic; given S Pen is main attraction of this tablet.. it needs to work well..
I am waiting for a call back from samsung to try and recover my data. What kind of laws cover their destroying my data? They were not very cooperative and failed to understand theirs servers deleted my data.

Thanka for the warning, please let us know when/if you recover your notes - even though it might be one isolated case, it could be safe to disable the sync until the issue is solved.

I've had this issue as well, note 2 and 8 are supposed to sync the notes but it doesn't work well. Instead I get blank notes in one or the other and if I delete the blank then the good copy will disappear from the other device.
My solution was to ditch s note. I now use lecture notes along with drop sync to handle the actual cloud syncing. Works a treat, no more lost notes. Sort it out Samsung, small independent developers are doing a better job than you.

[Q] Printing from Tab 3 10.1

Hopefully posted in right place.
Have a tab 3 10.1 and also (at home) have a wifi brother printer HL3045CN. Have DL'ed the 'Samsung Mobile print' app to try to be able to print through WiFi. It does not seem to be able to fine the pronter. I am using the current correct address of 192.168.1.1 (confirmed that it is the current address used).
Can anyone shed any ideas on this or reccomend a better app?
Many thanks. John

Thank you for such a prompt reply. Unfortunately my printer (brother HL-3045CN) is not in the compatible listing of Brother printers. The only work around that I am using is to use 'Dropbox' and then print from my laptop. None the less, thank you for suggestion...
I use the PrinterShare App, it works really well.
I paid for the premium version, but I think there is a free version with less features for you to try with your Brothers printer.

Did you try contacting the App developer and asking if the they can add a driver for your printer? This App is updated on a regular basis, so perhaps they might be willing to add your printer to there app.
Doesn't cost anything to ask.

Wrote to app programmers and they have replied with the following
unfortunately we are not sure when or if we are going to be able to create an Android driver for this

So I'll keep looking, Thanks to all for your encouragement and help.

Im assuming you have a PC connected to the printer you have now correct?
Go to www.google.com/cloudprint follow the setup instructions, it does not matter what kind of printer you have it will work.
get this app on your phone/tablet https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pauloslf.cloudprint&hl=en

No, I haven't, the printer is connected on our network through WiFi, as we have 3 laptops running in our household. Works fine from all three. The Tab 3 does see the printer WiFi connection, it just doesn't recognise the printer.
