[Q] How to use note 2 as tablet peripheral for PC

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.

MightText SMS for tablets

Is anyone else using this free app. If not, WHY. Absolutely love it! Get your phone SMS to your tablet AND PC!!!! You can also respond via tablet and PC.

Pretty simple to set up. Not sure how or if this will piss me off in the long run, but I'll let you know.

I use it from my tablet, phone and computer and so far it's working out great! Haven't noticed any delay or anything, but so far it's exactly what I was looking for.

Cloud SMS user here.
Similar to Mighty Text, but higher rated and has a $.99 price tag.
Extremely responsive Dev who is always improving/tweaking it.
This type of app is a must-have for me as well.

Been using it for about a month now myself. No issues, works great.

Same here. Devs were responsive for a few emails, and then they just sort of dropped off. Please let me know if you get this figured out. Are out using Handcent or Go SMS on you phone?

That happened to me as well. I unlinked my tablet in the settings and added it back again and it fixed it.

Devs were the same with me, responsive at first, then gave up. No extra sms apps installed so that's not the problem. Also tried resetting everything, but no joy.

Yeah, I tried unlinking and relinking. Didn't work. I decided to just pay the $5 per year and go back to DeskSMS. It has been super reliable across any and every build on my phone, and its companion, TabletSMS, has worked with both my Nexus 7 and my TouchPad. Worth the money to me.

App store issues?
I just picked up a Nexus 7 the other day and went to download Mightytext from the app store and it is saying my device is not compatible? I feel like something is very wrong here. Any suggestions?

Derp... wrong app. Finally figured it out

I use it but I'm a little concerned about privacy... Its obvious the actual texts and phone numbers are going through mighty texts servers to get from AT&Ts system to my nexus 7 which is only connected via WiFi, or is that incorrect? I text a lot of highly sensitive info due to my line of work. I hope I'm worried for nothing because its a great app and one more reason to put my phone down while I'm on my tablet.

I think it's going through googles servers since you login with your Google credentials, but I guess that could be just for authentication. If you need more privacy tablet talk syncs via Bluetooth but I think you have to pair it a lot.

Yeah I had tablet talk for awhile, I just hate having to connect it every time. I'd love for someone to give us some clarification on my privacy question. Lemme see if I can search for the answer. I'll post it here if I find it. :good:

Love this app
I love this app so much I made an inverted version. Screenshots attached.
I will upload to test if anyone is interested. Then I will start a post for it once I know it's working for more people then myself. I only themed hdpi so Nexus 7 only for now.
Let me know please!!!!!

iMessage.... What a complete and total copy..... Granted, you can easily say the same for this app and Whatsapp. Idk, I think this is easier and much better than whatsapp (used both). I messages claims to use phone number only.....so does MightyText....
What do you guys think?

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.

Still confused, what are you asking it to sync to? What part of Google? Calendar?

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

Just shows how much "control" they have over our devices!

I could see ADM being a big deal for Nexus owners or people who own phones that the manufacturer doesn't provide a wipe/tracking feature for. Samsung's Find My Mobile (ex-Dive) has been around for two years and has more features than Google's ADM. Does anyone see any features or benefits ADM provides over Find My Mobile?

if we track phone using samsung dive or use any feature like fetching call records, phone gets notification about task done, where as using ADM... no notification comes...

And notification's a bad thing? What if someone hacks your Google account and is tracking you via ADM or maliciously sends a wipe command to your phone? Without any notification you'd have no idea. The first thing I'd do on FMM if I truly lost my phone is remote lock it, even before tracking it. The lock command you send to the device allows you to have a 100 character message appear on the lock screen along with a number to call about returning the phone. Which by the way isn't something you can even do (yet) with ADM. Once it's locked the person who finds it (or stole it) can't do anything with it including turning off its wireless signal(s) or reading notifications. And if the phone's in your possession and you track it, ring it or pull a call log who cares that there's a notification? I kind of see your point though in that if the phone's been intentionally stolen the thief could see the FMM tracking notice in the notification bar (there's no audible alert) if the phone wasn't locked first. But a thief that knows Android would immediately hard reset the phone (or disable Wi-Fi and mobile data) right after stealing it which renders both ADM and FMM useless anyway.

It's useless if ur phone is stolen. But very useful if u forgot where u placed your phone. Getting it to ring enables me to find My phone much easier instead of calling myself
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4

All of this is useless because it is enough for someone that steals/finds your phone to take out the SIM card and no way any software can tell you where it is... so it is very limited help.

Will this require the internet to be turned on my phone?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4

Yup. It basically connects to your samsung account which your phone is logged on to. A hard reset will remove your samsung account login details so this is really useless if stolen.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4

What about hardreset? Will ADM survive from a hardreset?

Don't expect too much since it's an added free feature. I'm personally using Cerberus which have full of features and I don't compare the two side by side. Maybe you don't need it now but this small new feature will be of help when you really need it.

No Android Beam?

I was trying to start up a content transfer with someone else's phone. I used an HTC One and they had Samsung Galaxy S3s. It would show the touch to transfer screen and it would just open the playstore to an item which didn't exist. It doesn't matter what they tried to transfer.

From what I understand its just a frontend for NFC which the phone does have. All I've done is selected the content I wanted to move and tap phones..

It wouldn't send me the little note to send off / receive without it on. Issue is, every time I receive something, it just shows up as a Google Play Link. When I try to send something, it just stops after I touch to beam.

I'm not sure what it is then, mines working fine(a little finnicky at times but fine).

My buddy has an S3 and I have the One, and in order for it to register I had to hold my phone about as low as his camera, but it worked like a charm. Then again, I sent him a few contacts and some pics for jokes.

Wife and I have GS3 and ONE, we send pics back and forth all the time.

You can NOT send playstore apks via NFC, it will always show a playstore link, this is to prevent sharing of paid apps.

No, not playstore apps or links. For example, friends on GS3 with gallery app opened to send a link. It just constantly wants to open a nonexistent item in the playstore. Sorry if I am unclear. I am thankful for all the help thus far.

Might have something to do with Samsung galaxy s phones. I can have my gallery open to a picture and nfc transfer it to a gnex and vice versa

Thanks. I think I actually figured it out. Anyone else wondering, anyone with Samsung phones transferring to the HTC One, the Samsung user needs to turn of their S Beam, because it tries to use the Samsung branded gallery app to transfer pictures.
