After flashing a new ROM and opening S Note, I see all my notes for a second then a dialog box pops up and says syncing. After about 5 seconds all my notes are erased. I have a nandroid backup and all my stuff backed up through Titanium, but no matter what I seem to do they get erased upon opening S Note for the first time. I've tried turning airplane mode on first, deleting the Samsung account and somehow it still syncs and deletes all the notes. Since I have this backed up, is there any way to extract the notes from either the nandroid or the Titanium backup? Thanks!

Are the notes not synced then on your Samsung account? I know little of the SNote sync functionality, but if they are properly synced to your samsung account up front (this of course assumes things are working on samsungs end) all should be well. On the surface it sounds like there are no SNotes stored on your samsung account so it is syncing an empty SNote list to your phone. I am of limited help on this though - sorry!
Is there an s Note folder in your internal sd card? I don't have a Samsung account, but when mine syncs that what it us syncing with. It's basically just updating the app

Yeah the folder is empty. I'm assuming it erased all of it, and a nandroid backup wouldn't include those files. I had turned sync off before because this happened in the past, and sure enough I accidentally enabled s note sync in this most recent flash and it erased them all instead of copying them to the server like it should have. Grrrrrr. Thanks though, I guess they're all gone permanently.
Do you all use sync? I also turned it off because of the massive wake locks it was giving me.

So I recently installed a new ROM and used mybackup root instead of titanium as the automated re installations of my apps was very tempting. However, upon trying to restore, it restored about 5 of my total apps. It lists all my apps in the program and just says: Nothing Restored. Is there a way to fix it? Or I was thinking if I installed Titanium could that somehow find all the backed up apps and reinstall them?
You can go to "SD CARD\rerware\MyBackup\" and there you should see the .apk's for all the apps you backed up. I haven't tried myself, but i'm pretty sure you could just install them. Might take a bit longer, but I'm not sure about the cross-compatibility between the 2 programs.
What about contacts? How do you back up those?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Those should be syncing automatically with your google account. Go into your gmail account and click on contacts on the side.
Will this work even if the contact says phone only?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
No, those you must manually backup, or you could add them to your Google contact list and then they will be backed up automatically upon sync.
Ok, thanks

Hey all,
Been having an issue and wanted to know if anyone has experienced the same thing.
I recently added a second Gmail account for my school email, and the first time it automatically downloaded some apps that I guess were downloaded from the market under that account. This is fine and I expected that, however...
I deleted all of the apps it downloaded because I don't want them anymore. A little while later it proceeded to download them all AGAIN without me doing anything. I deleted them a second time and then when I got home and connected to the wifi, it again downloaded all of the same apps.
Any idea on why it is doing this?
Thanks

Thanks. So it's normal for it to "restore" my apps more than once after adding an account, and after I delete them multiple times?

I've tried syncing to both when I wipe/flash a new rom and I've had trouble with both. Neither one can seem to restore my notes correctly as well as including duplicates. Which one do you guys sync to? Is there any tricks I'm missing?
And I've seen that they changed the calendar and notes on jelly bean tw to the same names as the apps found on the note 10.1. Do you guys think these will finally be able to sync notes between phone and tablet?

Try evernote, works perfectly for my needs. It syncs to a free 60mb storage.

If you go into the root of your phone you could find the smemo folder and just copy it onto your external card.. after a flash, put it back.

I would suggest Gtasks as the closest and simplest note/task to the memos app but with sync.
You can try the others like Springpad, Wunderlist and Evernote too but I think they're overly complex for what you want.
In the samsung account it has both backup and sync settings.
The backup is ok for sms, mms, call log and wallpaper, and I ve used it a couple of times to restore these things when its had a more recent backup than titanium.
My question relates to the sync to samsung account option for contacts, calendar, internet and s note. The only thing I see usefull here is the s note as the others are handled by your Google account. But although I have the sync enabled and my s notes have a little cloud in the corner, I've noticed there is no restore function, so if you wipe your phone and want to restore the notes synced to your samsung account, I cant see a way to do it?
Maybe I'm missing something but I'm not sure I see the point of syncing to the cloud if data can't be retrieved when needed?

I had to factory reset my wifes s3 a couple of days ago after a few fcs with thenew leaked firmware, all her s notes had the little cloud in the corner but when I re-synced with her samsung account, it didn't restore her notes which is why I don't think the sync is much use

Good day to all, I'm on stock ROM, but I'm unable to Sync like the picture shows. Maybe I delete some apps for the syncing process?
Please help I don't want to flash all over again.

To sync ur snote,u must have a samsung account with previous snote backup made..
If u dont have sam account , u won't b able to sync notes..if u have a sam account with backup made from previous rom then go to settings> accounts> > samsung account and hit sync all.
That's it

I also got a bit different and the same issue. The thing is its from s memo. I used to have the s3. But when i sync import from the samsung account i can see the text preview. But after the import it just transforms to a blank drawing board.
Any ideas?

I do have a Samsung account also I've already used S Note. U think that what happened in my case is that I've deleted some application related to S Note sync.
Anyway I think I'll have to download the entire firmware and flash via Odin.

Samsung sync is notoriously unreliable. I've had to factory reset to get mine working again on two separate occasions. Now I've given up on it and just use drop sync.

However SNote is a great application, I believe it's the only one that allows writing with the hand on screen and reject the hand touches.
