Is there an app that has thought of some way to take class notes on the note? It would have to be something like notability for the ipad which would automatically scroll to the right/down when you reach the margin. It would be amazing if this worked so well I wouldn't even need to bring a bookbag anymore.
If you mean with the s-pen you could try Papyrus. IT DOES NOT SCROLL AUTOMATNCALLY but is infinite in size. If you are going to type you could try Jota. It allows for big documents.
Btw if you zoom in to 250% with s-note the page will scroll when you hover the pen near the edge. Pages are however not infinite but you can add new ones easily.

Lecture Notes from the play store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...EsImNvbS5hY2Fkb2lkLmxlY3R1cmVub3Rlc3RyaWFsIl0.
Just tried both lecture notes and papyrus, the problem is they don't scroll when you type. I couldn't even figure out how to scroll in any direction if i was zoomed in. I think for these to be practical they have to have the box that notability has that scrolls for you.

I think that Classic Notes app will do the trick. I have tested it out and it does scroll automatically.
In lecture notes you need to settings / display to turn on the auto scroll. I've just started playing with it. I haven't figured out how to add a page yet.

Thanks! I didn't even bother to check the settings. Theres options to turn on stylus use. The auto scroll didn't work for me. To add a page, when working on a page, hit menu and click notebook overview, then just hit +.
I've been playing around with lecturenotes and find its the best option once you get the settings right. I used it to take notes during a class today and it took practically no time to get used to it. Plus you can export to PDF.
I also played around with Freenote+, it uses the same idea as Notability for iPad where you have to write within a certain box and when you reach the end of the box it'll scroll automatically. While Notability does this well and Freenote+ its implemented poorly.
@Dmwitz: There are multiple ways to add a page in LectureNotes: You can append/insert pages using the menu items in the hand menu; you can enable the plus icon in the app's settings, clicking on it will append a page and bring you there; you can enable the page forward/backward icons or the arrow icon which are actually for scrolling but append new pages when needed. If you use the input zone (advisable for capacitive stylus), new pages are automatically added when needed, likewise when you use the auto-scroll feature.

Never tried it, how do you use it for lecture notes, pages are too small no? And another thing is the Smashing Pumpkins are the best.

HAhahah thanks for SP They rule... I mean , they used to rule, before Billy corgan decided to act like prick..
and for S note, i find it very good in taking notes.. I mean, i study electrical engineering, programming science, and i find object recognition and rest of functionality of S note good

I don't like that snote has a fixed size page. I want to be able to get a 8.5X11 size so I could print the notes out. I'm doing engineering too and have formulas that go long so I dont want to have keep spreading them over multiple lines.
Howdy gurus,
Is there any apps out there that would allow me to write on the actual screen on the Note 8? I mean, can I use my S-Pen to highlight, take notes on the actual screen?

Hoping I understood your question correctly :
If by desktop you mean like windows or mac, then you could use a remote client like splashtop remote/vnc etc.
or there is another app called virtual tablet that makes your note a virtual tablet for your computer (though pressure sensitivity does not work, but other features can be used)
However if what you are asking is all to do on the note itself then there are a plenty of apps that let you do that and have pen support.
for example in pre installed s-note you can switch between writing pen/pencil/ highlighter / eraser.
I mostly prefer handwriting recognition in the samsung keyboard as with that I can do a lot more in most of office like apps.
Search for 'Snap Pad Free' on the play store. You can set the paper transparency to 100% if you wish so it looks like you are drawing directly on the desktop or within any app (it's always available)... then to save, simply make a screenshot. Done.
That's the closest app I know to what you're asking for.

Hi intelliriffer, thanks for the advice. I think that your second option is close to what I'm focusing on.

I use Mantano reader for textbook reading and lecture notes for my note taking. I keep them both open in multi window and it works well for me. iPad just can't do this. The kid next to me uses some windows tablet with some DRM reader and one note.
I was watching him today during a lecture and he takes his stylus, selects a section from the ebook reader (e.g. a sample problem) and pastes it straight into one note. I really liked watching that and would find it useful.
Sadly I cannot figure out how to do this on the Note.

as far as i remember, you can do the same thing with GN10.1 but you need to press the spen button to select an area
Press and hold the spen button, then draw on the screen. You will see a selection line. It sometimes takes a while for the popup to pop up, but then you can share the selection with any app.
Yup! I was being a total idiot. I was holding the button too long and the spen application selector was popping up and I was trying to use scrapbook. A short press just before drawing on the screen worked great. Just had to figure out which option to pick in LectureNotes to paste and the answer was to paste from special clipboard (or special something or other). The selected text flows into Rakein and that was my whole problem. I was just expecting it to go to the clipboard like on a regular computer.

Yep. I use it all the time. Just highlight what you want to move from one window to another and then long press it with S Pen or your mouse and drag it to the other window. Both apps have to support drag-and-drop but not all do. Most of Samsung's apps and those they include (EG: Hancom) do.

Totally unrelated to my question, but since the update, I cannot believe how much smoother these two are when both are running in multiwindow. For my A&P II class I also have HShow 2014 open and the three of them all run silky smooth.
Edit: So sorry, forgot I posted this in the 2014 forum. Disregard the above as it is about the 12.2 update.
Hello, I often hear that EveryNote is the best note taking app. What is the difference between it and S Note, Lecture Note?
S Note can only sync between Samsung devices, and the old&new versions aren't compatible with one another. Evernote files can be accessed on any device that supports Evernote. Never used Lecture Note, so can't speak for that.
There's a free trial of lecturenotes. It's best to try it and see for yourself since we all have different needs when it comes to software. Then you can compare the three yourself.
Since I find the cross platform treatment of hand written notes lacking in evernote I use lecturenotes and sync exported pdf files via dropsync to dropbox. Evernote is okay in my opinion but not as feature rich when it comes to taking hand written notes.
When it's all said and done, none of the three are perfect and I personally find that I wish for a feature or two from the others.

The newer versions of s note can indeed sync with evernote. This is how I got one year of premium evernote services.

Initially when I purchased the Note Pro the notes that I'd take in S-Note and sync with Evernote were practically useless to me on my Mac/PC. Has this changed? They'd be saved in a proprietary format or an image file that was too small physically to be useful to read on my high res screens. PDF export was an option but with the limited page size support in S-Note I found myself looking elsewhere in a hurry for a note taking tool that truly mimics a letter sized note pad.
I bought a program a while back that I can comment on. It's called Handrite note Notepad Pro. By NC Corp. Needed it before I owned a device with SNote built in. I used to use my finger..... But now with my pen, I like it even more. But I already bought it so I didn't have to decide if I wanted it over the other OP ideas and other suggestions from muzzy996. It syncs using Dropbox through an additional program that is called Open Sync and that is free. Works well. But the handwriting Pro is cool and features some neat options. Might not be everyone's cup of tea with how it replaces text as you write but most things are adjustable.
Microsoft’s Onenote beta is very good. Handwriting is good, syncs with PC, you can search handwritten notes on computer (but not on tablet).

I wasn't aware of the size issue. I had some old notes that transferred over and indeed they are not full size. I don't know if that's just for the screen, maybe they would print out on normal size paper? Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. ...
No problem. Yeah S-Note simply doesn't work for me in terms of page setup options. It's fine for simple note taking but sometimes I prefer being able to generate a set of notes with a specific page setup in mind such as a letter sized page in a particular orientation with a particular layout of lines/grids as a background.

How is Google Keep compared with Everynote, S Note and Lecture Note?
Rather simplistic compared to the others. I haven't revisited it in months but as far as I know there's no active stylus support in Google keep.
Sent from my SM-P900 using Tapatalk
For me Everynote and Google keep are like a collection of sticky notes. Ln and Snote are more like a collection of notebooks with more pages and options to manage large notebooks. Those apps are for completely different use cases with Ln being focused on students and many notebooks.

Indeed.
Lecturenotes has quite a bit of features though it doesn't always do a good job of providing them in a user friendly way. As an example, pen colors and line thicknesses can be shown in a toolbox on screen but for everything else one must drill down through menus. It would be nice if toolboxes were available for other functions as well in that software.
Its definitely more powerful than the others though even if there are limitations in some respects. An example of the power of lecturenotes is the ability to work on multiple layers (i think the limit is 3) which can be helpful when one is working with graphical elements vs writing/text. An example of limitations in Lecturenote is whereas in SNote when an image is pasted into a note it always remains as an editable image (you can click on it to move it and resize it), in lecturenotes that isn't necessarily the case. In lecturenotes if you want to change the size or location of a pasted image on your page you must select the image using the marquee tool and then expanding the image at that point comes with loss in clarity as it is scaled up. Overall the power of lecturenotes is great though.

What is the page size issue in S-Note?
If you import s-note files into evernote they are physically smaller.. in other words you can't use the s-pen to edit in evernote because the size of the note is too small and does not take up the entire screen like in s-note.
It goes beyond that for me. If all one ever wants is to work within the confines of the Samsung Galaxy Note ecosystem everything is good when it comes to S-note. However, if the need is to take notes on predefined page sizes for printing there is no way to do so. All one has in terms of page types is landscape or portrait orientation with a variety of backgrounds and form types, there is no way to control paper size. These do not print well at US Letter or other page types. I bought this larger note because it's screen is closer in size to a real letter page and yet the applications baked in don't support that.
The is why I use lecturenotes. I have complete freedom to do custom sizes for printing.

Do you mean electronically speaking, the notes are fine. However, they do not print well on papers? How about saving/printing them in pdf format and then send the file to the printer? I use A4 size notes as notes for my work. I am considering to write notes electronically on the Note PRO 12.2. Of course, I do hope to be able to print it out like a A4 size note. Is this possible? If not, from your post, it seems that lecturenotes can do it.

On a standard yellow notepad in US Letter size there are 28 lines available to write on. In S-Note if one creates a notebook using the standard lined page in portrait orientation there are only 18 lines available. To fix this one has to avoid using lines completely by using a blank portrait template. Then what you do is go into the notebook, click the gear icon and change the background, click the upper left box for blank white page, then hit pattern, then pick the second from the right box on the top row.
Once this is all done you have a page that approximates a standard yellow pad.
EXCEPT if you print this thing, it doesn't fill the entire width of an A4 or Letter sheet. When printed to fit on letter, you lose 1.7 inches of width of the page. When printed to fit on A4 you lose 1 inch of width. Doesn't sound like much but on average you're losing 20% of available space on a page.
Its all a bit convoluted and honestly I rather not deal with the BS of it all and I opt to go to LectureNotes instead. With it, I'm able to set up all aspects of a notebook at the time of its creation. Additionally I can place items on different layers to move things around if I wish. The only thing I missin Lecturenotes is how S-Note handles images that are pasted in. In S-Note these pasted images remain as editable objects allowing you to move them and scale them about as you please. In LectureNotes you need to be careful of where you place images because they no longer are treated like smart objects.
Thanks. By losing certain inches of width of the page during printing, do you mean those parts are being cut off? Isn't is possible to scale down the entire page to make printing of everything possible?
If I just draw images, than there should not be a problem in LectureNotes? So, there is no perfect app. I don't want to choose an app, make a lot of things using it. Then, later find that there are some limitations and switch to another app while losing the stuffs I create using the first chosen app.
There DEFINITELY is no perfect app.
See the attachment below. Notice the white vertical strip. That white strip you'll never be able to write in . . . the darkened corners of the notepad image is the absolute corners on the tablet itself when you zoom/pan around in the notepad.
Edit: To clarify, the image attached is what a printed page would look like on US Letter when a page layout of portrait is selected in S-note and the user fills the entire page with notes (simulated by me drawing at the extreme corners). The print is maximized to the long side of the page.
Hi All I got my note pro 12.2 and mainly will used it for studying and note taking and lectures and word , excel so on
so please every one tell me his best apk for studying and note taking , knowing that i used spen its good but my main problem the page size is too small, I canot make it llarger using the multi window mode
so any help with making the page bigger or a btter apk for that?
also , I want to know how to conncet my note pro to projector for ppt presentations?
I also use my Note when I'm in meetings and I do one of two things. If the meeting is short then I just use the S Pen to jot notes down then type them up later. I use Papyrus as my jotting program. Simple and easy to use. I don't use S Note as it's a little too simple and not nearly enough options.
For long meetings I have a bluetooth keyboard. I will be reviewing that later. I use Google Docs as it's easy to use and saves everything to the cloud as well as on my tablet. I also use Sheet for my Excel sheets. There is genuine Microsoft Word and Excel for the tablet however if you don't have a subscription to Office 365 then you can't save anything.
There are plenty of other apps out there that might be ideal for you however I think for me I've found the right balance.
I'd love to have a Docs program that can integrate S Pen scribbles and is very fully functional.
I recently found Microsoft's One Note.
It has a decent amount of functionality as well as pen support. But what I REALLY like is the way it organizes eveything.
You can have multiple "notebooks" like SNote, but then you can have multiple 'chapters' inside each one.
I'll second the suggestion for One Note. Microsoft has done a killer job with the app's UI/UX and having the ability to automatically sync with my Microsoft account (which, in turn, lets it sync on my PC) is fantastic.

There are 3 methods:
1. MHL/HDMI-Adaptor (Samsung has 3, MHL1, MHL2 and a MHL3 Adapter). With a Full-HD Monitor I use the MHL2 Version, because I don't have a 4k projector/Monitor.
2. Miracast. But Miracast can only do one thing: copy the Screen.
3. My prefered method for projectors: Chromecast.
thanks all for reply and really sorry didnt reply fast
I will give both lectures notes and micrososft one a try, although i tried them before and didnt like them may I didnt keep on using them
secondly do you guys know a refernce manager for android? and a good office I liked Hword and Hcell a lot but It have little problems with android
Btw. with "Microsoft PowerPoint Preview" you can use your S-Pen during the Presentation!!! Very cool, this makes your NotePro to a real Whiteboard.

Yes, thats the Problem with Microsofts apps. I have installed PowerPoint Preview, Excel Preview and Word Preview, but I use it in "Readonly" mode to view mail attachments or show Presentations with S-Pen Support.
I use my Note for planning projects, setting agendas, taking meeting minutes and setting TO-DO. lists.
For this I use Evernote. Most things are done with the keyboard, note taking is with the Spen or voice recognition.
I know Evernote isn't for everyone, but you get a years premium subscription with the Note pro so give it a go.
Keeps everything orderly in its place.
i love squid(papyrus) for note taking. it seems like u can draw and jot on a very large paper!
+1 One Note : PC Synchronisation & management
I love PDF Max 4 for highlighting text.
I read a lot of medical literature, and PDF Max 4 in in combination with a bigger stylus (Wacom Bamboo or so) has just the right workflow for highlighting text very precisely and very easily . Ideal tool for exam preparations, much better than any other app I tried so far.
I think my most used productivity app is Inkredible. It allows me to draw in vector and export it as a vector PDF, so I can import it directly into Illustrator. May not be as useful for everyone else, but I'm a designer, so it saves me time.
Note taking I do in Papyrus, and texts I write in Droidedit. Droidedit lacks formatting, which means less hassle when importing into Indesign.
Now all I need is a proper Adobe package for Android and I'm all set...
(I'm obviously using a Wacom Bamboo for Note stylus, and I still hate the fact that my Intuos stylus doesn't work on this.)
No one tried Fiinote?
Shock horror.
Features:
.draw
.voice notes
.keyboard
.handwrite
.infinite page size
.widgets
Your welcome.

I second the Chromecast option. I think the Chromecast is the best $35 I've ever spent. Another thing I like about it is having 2 daughters, who are usually glued to their phones, Chromecast has a lot of games you can play with multiple people and everyone uses their own device, like being able to see your letters is Scrabble while the board is on the projector. It's just a fun way to spend time with my girls instead of them staying in their rooms being antisocial.
INKredible - Handwriting Note is great, i used to install a similar app on my Ipad (i don't know if it is this app or not but same features)
Very convenient to take note what came across my mind, but i think it would be disaster if handwriting is bad and ugly
