From the time I've got the note 8, I've always been able to just take a screenshot and right after that it'd open my screenshot and i'd be able to edit it straight away (drawing on it etc.). However, for the past few hours now, that doesn't work anymore, initially it stopped opening the screenshots straight away but, it would show up in the notification panel and I'd click on it and be able to edit it like before. But now even that doesn't work it shows up in the notification panel and I click on it and it give different apps to open it with (paper artist etc.). Any suggestions? I haven't installed or uninstalled anything recently, I'm running the stock rom. I haven't touched anything to be honest but, it changed all of a sudden. Am planning of doing a factory reset, but I'd rather not. I'll be really grateful for any help.
edit:-ok, if I click edit it only opens with paper artist
I just a factory reset, but even that didn't help. Any ideas? Anyone please help, I'm desperate

How are you taking the screenshot? There are at least 3 ways to do it.

Hmm i had never thought of that, I had been taking the screenshots using the swipe screen method. I just tried using the s-pen and it worked like before. I used to take the screen shots like that before(s-pen) and only recently started using the swipe screen method. My memory tells me I edited the screen shots the same way using the two methods, but I'm pretty sure my memory's wrong. Thank you so much,this had me bugging out.
Just wondering, when you take a screen shot using the swipe screen method on your phone, does it let you edit like it does normally(using the s-pen) or does is bring up the choose app thing?
Anyway thanks non the less, much appriciated.

It just gives me the option to choose an app to edit with. Does not give me the immediate edit option like when using the S-Pen.

You could always use the Android SDK to take screenshots. Go HERE.
I've been using drocap2, it works pretty well. You just click start, navigate to where you want to take a screenshot, then shake the phone. Stores the files in /sdcard/drocap.
I use "ShootMe" works the same as described above. Leave it running in the background, just shake the phone to take the screen shot. Saves it on the SD card.
Not really sure why you don't like shootme? Launch and shake..doesn't get much simpler than that really.

Yeah I also use ShootMe and its perfect.
Haven't tried shootme, but drocap2 works great for me. Always running in the background, customizable activation methods (shake, timer, or notification bar). I use notification bar. Pull the shade down, hit drocap2, wait a few seconds, screen shot taken and saved to its own folder on the sdcard.
Thank You
Shootme works great Thank you for the suggestion!!! Loving it
shootme is great except it makes a camera noise every time you take a screenshot which is annoying and sometimes embarrassing if you're playing with your phone while in a public restroom.

You can turn it off. Click the little speaker icon on the "Accept or Reject" screen.
Anyone else having any problems after the OTA update?
I can no longer use ShootMe or dropcap They were both listed for rooted devices only, but they worked prior to the update. Now, neither works.... Anyone have any suggestions??

That's because the OTA update fixed the giant security hole that allowed some programs that required root (like ShootMe) be fully usable while unrooted.
I have spent the last week or so searching for a solution to my question, but I have yet to find it. In short, I want to replicate the 'famous' lock screen from the TV show "Sherlock". When unlocked, it looks like this: i. imgur. com/HihXp. png. When the 'sleep' button is pressed on the device while it is already alseep, it wakes to this screen, minus the letters 'SHER', with the keyboard open. I'm trying to figure out if it is at all possible to do this, rooting or no, without me being forced to effectually code a new lock screen. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Sherlocked Lockscreen
Might wanna take a look at this app on google play. Try searching "SherLOCKED Lockscreen". It's a working lockscreen by the way.
Hello All
Earlier today I noticed that somehow when my phone wakes up my lock screen is full screen, in other words the notification bar is gone. It is like it in auto hide, as it there normally once the phone unlocks. You can see come down as the phone unlocks. The thing is, I never changed it and the phone seems to have no obvious way of changing it in the options so I do not know how to change it back. without I cannot see notifications unless I now use the swipe screen lock as well, which I really don't want to. Any ideas please?
Many thanks in advance.

Many thanks for your reply. Sorry I should have given more info. earlier. Yes it is rooted (with TWBR 2.4.4.0) and running a Phoenix V8 custom ROM but in many ways it very like a stock ROM, albeit with a few extra bits and pieces and differences. It was fine for the last few days. I think, although I cannot be certain, but I temporarily put widget locker on it and I think it happened then but I cannot be conclusive about that. I did re-install Widget locker again just to see, if perhaps there was an option in there but could not see one, not that I would ever have chosen it. I have now removed it again. If all else fails I will wait for a newer version of the ROM and if a simple upgrade doesn't fix it I will rebuild the new ROM (it uses Aroma installer) from scratch, along side a complete wipe, if necessary, but I really don't want to do that now for such a minor problem. I suspect it is just an option that I need to find out how to change but so far no joy. Is it possible to just re-flash the default Samsung notifications bar or at a push re-install from an APK file?
Many thanks in advance.
Maybe factory reset would be enough.

Many thanks for your reply. I have just discovered it is definitely in auto-hide on the lock screen as when I go put my pattern in, if I touch near the top of the screen it actually comes down and then goes back again when I let go. Would a factory reset not, pretty much, be like a full wipe, as it just set it back to like it was when it left the factory? Although I do have the standard Samsung option of backup and restore on the same options page. I was wondering whether to do a full backup in TWRP and then try that option. It just seems overkill for what must be an option that can somehow be set. I was just hoping someone could enlighten me first.
Many thanks in advance.

Paul L.
Seems like some option in some modification mod you must have forgotten about.

"Transform into" and Auto shape options in S-Note suddenly gone after 5.1.1 update
Hi, just updated my device to the latest 5.1.1 Android version,
and for some peculiar reason, some features in the S-Note app are suddenly gone,
such as the "transform into" option that was extremely useful to me.
Done some googling and saw that the app used to have an extension pack option,
though nothing like that exists now in the app.
Any sort of help would be much appreciated.

This cannot be. I just updated my device to the latest android version 5.1.1 as you did yourself. I am able to have every feature i used to in the previous android version including the "transform into". When you are taking note on top of the S note app there's a "bar" with features such as pencil, eraser etc. Have you tried to extend this bar. If so; you'll see there's the tranform into button along with some other features. Try it out, let me know what happend.

Hi, the bar was already extended, and the only options i can recall are the basic ones, such as the pencil, eraser, the cloud thing (to select things with it), and that's about it. no transform into button, and also not where it was located before, after you select something with the lasso, the option is completely gone..
Would you please take a screenshot of the app and show the option?
I am 200% sure i've checked everything.
Unfortunately I already burned the Kitkat rom on my device so I can use these features again..
but if i am mistaken, and indeed missed it, I will update again.

Look at the screenshot and:
(1) Select the area you want to transform using the "cloud thing" you mention above; which's happens to be the lasso.
(2)You should be able to see a new bar like the one in the screenshot.
(3)Now, choose the second option (quadrangle thing) and it will ask you what tranform you want to operate, for instance math formula, text, shape, shape + text etc.
Hope I helped ya at all!!! :laugh::fingers-crossed:
Hi, I have just the same problem - after the update, all these 'transform into' features are gone. I am very upset, because this features were very useful to me too.

I really don't know what to do in order to aid you. Did you check out the screenshot. Is it different compared to your S note enviroment? Have you tried contacting samsung about the issue? If not, then give it a shot.

Annoying website.
Limits you to about 150 letters, and doesn't allow you to attach any text files.
Sent them a screenshot with my complaint.
Hoping to get a serious reply and not a "try a factory reset"/"address your local support" kind of response.
Hi,
I got exactly the same issue. Is there any update?
Same problem with my device. any tips to solve it?
Same issue here. No "transform to" option. Any help appreciated

Sorry,
It doesn't work that way. Take a look at this.
The displayed menu simply doesn't have the "Transform into" option. It only displays : Properties, Cut, Copy and delete. Nothing more.
Any ideas on the net?
Thanks.

Solution found
For anyone still interested I found a solution.
It seems that for some strange reason and for some lucky owners like me the Andorid 5.1.1 update can render the S Note not fully operational (transform into missing). So I used the Smart Tutor app from Samsung and the tech guy told me thar after checking everything he found that the only way to correct the issue was to return the tablet to its factory settings (i.e: reset the tablet) .
So there it is. You have to restore the tablet to its original 5.1.1 state. Before starting BE CAREFUL , you have to backup your data (via google account, via samsung account and even better via the samsung's Smart switch app that's you call). Otherwise the reset will wipe out/delete all personal data.
So after doing you backup watch this video to perform the reset: youtube.com/watch?v=NDp_9mfBS98. There are similar videos on youtube so again your call. The process is quick.
Once you reset the tablet and restore your data you will have to do some adjusments but you will not lose data (if previously backed up).
Everything went as suppossed and now I have the S Note app fully operational.

Been a while since I tinkered and so with some trepidation I thought I'd try the switching between different launchers using Tasker.
After some swearing I managed to get it working using the guide HERE
Got Niagra on the front and Nova on the large screen!

Thanks for the tip. I got it going too. Now I remember why I hated it. I had some fun with it for a bit though. Definitely not efficient but without hex or root. It was a nostalgic trip back to 2010
Can't seem to get it to work. Just a question, once i set it up i get [ No active profiles (3 of 3 enable) ] on the notification panel for the tasker. Is it supposed to be like this or the profile should be active for it to work?

Sorry, I didn't get it. Can you please elaborate.
state > sensors > any sensor > hinge angle
That's awesome. I bought Tasker like a year ago. Everytime I download it I open it, get frustrated, then uninstall it, lol.
I think I love niagra though. It's so minimal on that big screen i think it would be better to just create a one page widget than run two launchers. That side animation was on one preset years ago. I sent my phone to safe mode play with stuff using adb today still have no idea what I did that prompted it.
@jemfalor Sorry I am a noob to the tasker. Where do I select hinge angel in the any sense?
under type, press magnifying glass
@jemfalor thanks for the help mate but it is not working for me. I will pass into it until someone post a detailed video as I have done everything right which Is mentioned in the guide but still no luck.
it is working. just learn to figure things out. change interval type to sample,
Works, but it's glitchy. Sometimes the stock home screen returns until I press the home key. When the device is unfolded and the main screen is visible, pressing the home button causes Nova Launcher to reload, which is pretty annoying. Worst of all, after configuring this, the keyboard keeps reverting back to the Samsung keyboard instead of Gboard, and sometimes the keyboard refuses to pop up at all. Time to undo this damage.

Pretty instantaneous I find, and if the wrong launcher shows, (although this is rare) a swipe up reverts the screen to the correct one.
The Bixby Routines version works well for me.
Now.... If there was only a way to have two instances of Nova Launcher running on the device at the same time, I could have version one layout on the cover screen and version two layout on the inner screen.
Anyone any ideas?

Maybe you can help sorry for bothering you. Everything seems to be setup except when folded or unfolded I have to hit the home button manually for the launcher to change. Do you happen to know how I can fix this?.
