I got my Galaxy Note for the sole purpose of taking notes in class, but I've had a lot of issues with the S Note app and I'm seriously considering returning it. I was wondering if anyone else experienced the same issues as me.
First off, when I try to import a pdf with a large number of pages, it just gets stuck on the Importing... screen for a long time. I thought this might be because it is converting to pdf in some way. Also while it's converting the back near the camera area gets very warm.
Secondly, while I was in class and taking notes, the stupid S Notes app starting lagging. I would draw a pencil stroke, and it would take about 5 seconds for the stroke to show up on the screen! This happens usually after writing on it for about 10 minutes or so and it only happens in the S-Note app.
And my last issue was the paper choices and sizes. They don't let you use regular sized U.S paper. And the paper has a weird brown color on it, so if you print it you'll see an ugly brown shade behind it. I really wish they would fix this app.
Also, I tried lecture notes, but it just doesn't write as smoothly as S-Note. I want to make it work, but unless Samsung releases an update soon, I might have to go back to pen and paper.
Is anyone else experiencing the same issues as me?
I'm having similar problems on my side. I really hate the zoom occurring while my palm is on the screen. Is there no way to lock the screen? No matter what I do the page keeps shifting. The three finger pinch to show the menu sucks because it keeps zooming the page. I tried switching to lecture notes, but just as you said it is not as smooth.

I don't have problem number 2, I'm not sure why you're having that problem. But for problem number one, I use ezPDF and just take snapshots of things I want in the PDF. That way i can just copy and paste into my notes.

I have tried that and it'll still go on the fritz every now and then. Also, you should check out the adobe reader app. I tried ezPDF but reader does the same stuff and is free, less crowded, and a bit smother.

Yea, I've started using ezPDF which isn't too terrible. It does have a slightly unattractive interface but it gets the job done. I also did a factory reset and hopefully that will fix my issues with the strokes taking unbearably long to show up on the page (maybe there was a conflict with some other software). I'm still waiting for my Samsung Perks, so I can buy the full version of ezPDF.
I really hope Samsung works out there issues. I'm seriously considering returning this and buying the old Galaxy 10.1 model. That one seems to have a better S Note app, and for half the price.

Try Note AnyTime, this is free, by a japaneese Company ( MetaMoJi).
This is good for note taking.
I dropped S-Notes, because it cannot cut/copy and paste hand written note.
So if you want to move part of your hand written sentence to another area,
which is more appropriate, without re-writing it, you are out of luck.
That is the biggest problem, as far as I am concerned.
The work around was not acceptable to me, which is as follows.
You can take a snapshot of the whole screen and crop only the interested hand written part, and
re-use it, but that means, you have converted your hand writing, to a bitmap, with all the back ground image.
This is horrible, do not know how they can release S-Note without this basic feature.
Mind that, Note AnyTime does not have to shape rendering feature ( hand drawn circle to perfect circle),
or the formula rendering feature.
But I can leave with it.
Hope that helps.

Does anybody know how you can add more frames to Camera on the HTC S620. Ive just come back from holiday and when I was using the Camera for a few "fun pix" I was greatly dissapointed in the lack of choice... basicaly it only had four week frames to choose from. So as soon as I got back I went about getting some more frames for my phone.... which I found, but my phone cant find them. Ive already tried adding a "Frames" folder to "My Documents" both on my phone and the storage card but yet the phone doesnt recognise any of the frames. Anybody else have this problem or even better can anyone else give me instruction on how to get it to work?
if anybody wants to know the Camera Software im using is the Camera for Smartphones version 4.52 that came pre installed with the phone as I dont want to be having more than one installed.
Just out of curiosity, what's a fun frame?
I knew the camera software on the Dash could do "effects" like sepia or negative. Never heard of the above.
I am in the same boat, what exactly is a "fun" frame just wondering?
oh, I assumed all the HTC S620's had all the same basic software I wasnt aware that Frames wernt available on all models.
What I mean by fun frames is like Magazine Covers which you select and take a picture with the frame on top of it.
The four that come with the BT ToGo version which I have is one which has two magazine covers on (you take two pictures and they get put into the frame), a cartoony spikey frame, one which looks like a notice board with two pictures on and finally a folding frame that holds three pictures...
the problem is that they are too specific like the memo on the notice board say "I love you" on one and "happy birthday" on the other... and the three way folding frame has love hearts on so it isnt like you can use them on any occasion.
...Picture Themes, thats what they are!!! Mabey I would have got more response if I posted under that.
Yea this is a ROM specific function. I remember having this on my T-Mobile SDA. You could have images pre drawn on the screen with a spot in the middle of the screen so yo could take a picture and use the template around the picture. For example: i had one that was a template of bubbles, snorkle and face mask, and if you got the picture aligned properly you could make it look liit the person you wrre taking a pic of was wearing the snorkel and mask and look like they were underwater. Kinda cool effect. I never noticed this feature on the DASH though.
edit: i just found the templates on WM 6.1 , but the four that are preloaded are pretty lame.
Aaaaahhhhh, never mind Ive found out how you do it...
the trouble was BT never provided me with a manual with the phone, its all done online in PDF format now. But after trawling through the PDF I eventually found out how to add extra frames -
Template Folder (Picture Theme only). By default, templates are
stored in the \My Documents\Templates folder on the device’s Main
Memory. If you transferred some templates to a storage card (via File
Explorer), set this option to Main + Card to specify that templates are
located in both the main memory and the storage card.

so thats where I was going wrong, I had read somewhere that the folder had to be called Frames... when that didnt work I renamed it Template when all along it should have been Templates.
Thanks anyway.

do you have any templates to share?
Templates
Here you go.
Uh, I know it's not rocket science, but my upload keeps failing, I was trying to upload a few templates that I have for the DASH, Excalibur, etc.
Yeah I have found one or two good ones, I will try and post them sometime today
A couple of Wako Jacko's from BoSelecta (one just does the face while the other takes the face and background)
a Shrek and Fiona and a Wanted poster for now...
I think the frames from Sony Ericson phones should work (320x240) so im going to see if I can find them on my girlfriends phone and copy them onto my excalibur. The Sony Erricsons have some great fun frames and to be honest a really good camera built into their phones.
Does the frame need a special neme or extension?.
In Which folder need to be placed?
PS: Sorry my bad English

Hi, I am an S3 user and want to throw it at the wall every time I attempt to "edit" a photo and am pushed to the retarded paper artist where it forces a lame filter onto my photo. All I want to do is draw on photos for godssake.
I have disabled paper artist and now when I see the option for "advanced edit" in the pull-up in the photo, there is no response, leading me to think there is indeed no other default for a samsung photo editor on the S3. In the play store there are only privately developed photo editors.... anyone know of a Samsung photo editor or something that will open without an automatic filter??
**SO frustrated!**
Thnx
Unless I'm being dense and missing an issue... most drawing apps allow you to import an existing image and doodle away.

Tips for a pleasant XDA:
Search before asking. Someone has likely already asked.
Spell your words completely, and use punctuation. It confuses people when you use "u" and "ur" and "dat", or when you wrongly use "there/their/they're/your/you're".
Be nice. Don't be rude, just move on to another post without leaving a comment. We are not 7 years old.

The ONLY thing that makes me even think about buying a wildly overpriced Windows 8 tablet is the ability to use OneNote. The sad part is that S-Note is just so damned close to being a OneNote killer app but it seems like Samsung got 80% of the way there and JUST QUIT.
Let's start with the unreadable .snb standard. As far as I can tell, even .snb readers for Windows can't read it. Unless you export your S-Notes as .pdf''s you are pretty much screwed being able to view them on your Desktop. So why would Samsung choose such an obscure standard with zero compatibility? Next can we talk about Templates? How hard would it be for Samsung to include a Template Editor so the grown-ups can create and save their own Templates instead of being forced to use the few Samsung thinks we all want? How about being able to create and save typing styles? How about being able to restart voice recording on a previously created S-Note? How about being able to embed a recording within a specific spot in your S-Note? If I can embed a video why can't I embed a recording? One of the best things about OneNote is being able to search on written text. Samsung, any ideas on that? How about being able to place a typing cursor just by clicking the screen where I want it? How about automatically typing around pictures instead of over them? How about being able too cut and move blocks of text?
So much about S-Notes just doesn't seen done to me, but as far as I can tell, those crazy Koreans at Samsung think it's perfect as is.
Please Samsung, I don't want to buy a Windows 8 tablet but you are forcing my hand.
** I am hoping that the new Awesome Note app coming with the Note 8.0 will solve some of these issues assuming we'll be able port it to our Note 2.

Awesome idea! Please give me the personal email of the Head of S-Note Development at Samsung and I'll get right on that. While you are at it, link me to the Samsung Support Forums on their website - oh that's right, Samsung doesn't have Support Forums.
I'm so happy a super-connected guy like you came along to solve the problem.
Also, I really should have bought a Java book and rewritten the entire S-Notes app myself as you suggest. I'm so dumb. I could have made millions!

Greetings all, I have been busting my brains trying to get the resolution proper on my S4 with the Awesome Note HD app. worked great on my S3 and would like to continue to use it. I've tried using the Xposed DPI per App module and it's not re-sizing the app appropriately. I know I have it installed and working as I can alter other apps. Any help trying to solve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
This baffles me as well. I've tried every option possible in Xposed, googled several threads and even enabled ALL permissions, but nothing works. Xposed will alter pretty much any app except Awesome Note.

No luck so far, but this is the first time I've ever tried modding an app. I've been able to locate and edit the layout, layout portrait and layout landscape xml files, but no change. Obviously I'm missing something (likely very simple). I'll keep researching/learning and post back with any updates.

Question to you: the fill_parent/wrap_content code is all over the layout xml files. Do I have to change every entry or should I be looking at a specific line?

Youre gonna have to figure out which one draws what you are looking at and what is not being drawn correctly. I hate xml, when i make programs, 90 percent of my layouts are made programmatically. thats how much i hate xml.

Damn, ever bit of this app is coded. Every tab, every title, every icon, every title. As far as I can see, the only way to get a real workable and attractive setup is to rewrite the graphics. I can get a few things to stretch - background now fills and bottom icons on main page are larger - but the right side dead space is still there and tab text remains the same, though the tab backgrounds have shifted and grew just a hair. Moving all of the files from the drawable-nodpi folder to the drawable folder allows Xposed to have some control, but not enough.
I think the biggest problem is our phones resolution. 1080 is just not supported properly. Though I did dig around and find a "true" listing for support of small, large and extra large screens. Personally, I'm beginning to hate this app, but I'll keep plugging away for the learning experience.
Mind you I am a COMPLETE NOVICE at this. If you'd like to see what I've been able to figure out thus far, and maybe add some input, I'll gladly send you the apk. Just PM me. I'm using @elesbb APK Tool which has a 2 second learning curve.

This sounds like the Camera APK i use a DPI of 320, and the camera is all fritz out and small. I decompiled it just to take a peek as i don't have the time right now to fix it, but it looks all hard coded and yes everything has to be coded even the tab, button, everything ANDROID IS FUN

I think the biggest problem is our phones resolution. 1080 is just not supported properly. Though I did dig around and find a "true" listing for support of small, large and extra large screens. Personally, I'm beginning to hate this app, but I'll keep plugging away for the learning experience.
Mind you I am a COMPLETE NOVICE at this. If you'd like to see what I've been able to figure out thus far, and maybe add some input, I'll gladly send you the apk. Just PM me. I'm using @elesbb APK Tool which has a 2 second learning curve.

I am new to android app development but am spending more and more time on these threads. I have a Verizon sgs4 with eclipse ROM. I would love to see the progress you've made with this app but I'm new and not sure how to message you. If you have time feel free to send me that apk and I'll see if I can try and help.
Did anyone get anywhere with this? This seems to be the only app that looks like it will do everything I want, but just isn't scaled correctly. Unless anyone knows of a good alternative?
Mods... Please feel free to relocate as you see fit if this is not in the proper location...!! Since this is a question, I was told to place it here... thank you..
I'm an IT guy and I'm looking for a good site to either acquire or purchase IT Reference guides or manuals. I wanted to put it out there to see where you guys get your PDF's from... something that I can have on the tablet for whenever I needed it for reference or just to read.
Thank you in advance...
...? I cant imagine that I'm the only technical person on a developers forum...
well there are "various" websites where you can get pdfs from, torrents etc. however if you plan to use them in kindle for example only books purchased FROM kindle (that say search) usually have a search feature, so while you can still import the pdfs in, its not very helpful in finding anything. epubs (dont work in the kindle app) seem to be a bit more advanced and have various capabilities including search but not many of the unsavory websites have them as widely available as pdfs.
Thank you for getting back to me...
No, I wont be using a Kindle... I'll be using the new tablet, but not just for personal use... also business use, reference, etc.. I'm really surprised that I havent seen much feedback on this topic, especially with all of the Tech folks on here.
I did manged however to look in the play store... but they are so damn expensive some of them.. wow...

i know. i was talking about the kindle app for android, not the kindle itself. if you have a pdf gathered from other sources you can email it to the kindle app and access it from anywhere which is helpful.
My bad...!! as you can see I'm not versed with Kindle apps on Android either...lol... but thanks anyway...
Rick I suggest you download the Adobe Reader app from the Play Store. In my opinion it is one of the best all purpose readers/editors for PDFs and it is free! I also like how it opens 100+ page PDF files on the Note 10.1 in just 3-5 seconds and you can scroll thru the pages pretty much as fast as you want with no noticeable slow down for page rendering.
Tap and hold on an area of the screen where there is text and you can copy, highlight, strikeout, or underline. Tap and hold on a blank area of the screen and you can leave a note, text, freehand, or even your signature!
Definitely worth the download!
