[solved] Pen offset occurred out of nowhere in only Snote - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

Hey all...
Hopefully someone can help me with this issue. All of a sudden Snote developed an significant offset of the pen. It's about 0.25" to the top left. This happened out of nowhere and only occurs in Snote. It happens with both my 8pi and original pen. The handwriting recognition, other apps such as write, papyrus all work fine. I do notice a bit of lag with snote also. It was working fine yesterday and only recent changes was an app update of 2Do, Asphalt 8, and google+. I'm running rooted 4.2.2 Stock.

Okay. got it working again. I rebooted, then cleared the cache on all Snote programs. It seems to be working fine now.

Google Keep crashing

Has anyone tried the new Google Keep app? Mine just FCs on launch.

Yeah works perfectly for me try to un installed and reinstall

I am not on your phone platform, but found this thread searching for others with Google Keep problems. I installed Keep last night, fired it up and it crashed. Tried again,, crashed. Rebooted the phone and when it came back it was like it had lost a bunch of 'data files' . By that I meant the phone acted as though it was factory reset, yet all apps were there. 90% of them would not run and those that did acted like they were just installed and had none of my settings. Restored data only via Titanium Backup and had to reinstall a couple apps. I may wait awhile and see if it was just me that had this kind of failure.
It works fine for me.
It's not all that exciting, but it's functional.
same here, used to work with stock 4.0.4 but since I have installed (from scratch) Alliancerom 4.1.2 on my S2, it keeps crashing on launch...
any idea ?
Are you guys having issues while running a custom ROM? I had issues with Keep on NoWizAOSP until the developer tweaked something and then it started working.
I had problems with NoWiz. Other ROMs worked fine w/Keep. I'm going to grab the latest NoWiz and see if it's working now.

Using jellybomb Rom v15 and Google keep works fine for me. Not sure it will replace evernote but time may tell.

The latest NoWizMod (v1.4.6) has fixed the issue for me. It's a handy little cloud note app. I'm expecting Google to add a lot more features as time goes on.

Not on SGN II, but same behavior. Crashes on launch, every single time. Installed, re-installed, rebooted, et al. It's not liking the Holics rom I'm running it seems... That is strange... and would make it the first ever app to dislike this rom. Thoughts anyone ?

if it can help, in my case it was caused by a customised Google Play (official Google Play but with a dark theme) bundled in Rom Alliance.
I had to uninstall it and reinstall the standard Google Play and it worked.
hope it will help.
Thanks for the hint. I don't have a themed or homebrewed version of Play, so no luck there. I can find random reports here and there of people experiencing this, on various phones with various - but always cooked - roms. So my guess is that Keep calls on something possibly not included in some of the roms out there... Speaking out my **s of course, as I have in fact no idea
Guess I'll have to wait a few days/weeks and see what the deal is.

I figured out the problem. You have to edit your build.prop file located in the system folder. You have to be rooted to do this.
Look for the line that says ro.build.type=user and change it to ro.build.type=userdebug
Then make sure to reboot the device.
Now it should work. I was having the same problem. ?

Note 2 and SwiftKey.

Hi guys.
Anyone got serious and annoying lag on the latest SwiftKey? It's so unfortunate, on my GNex it still runs as smooth as butter and no lag but on 2 different note 2 handsets it just runs like a dog. Laggy touches and it'll slow and catch up. Soooo frustrating...
Any help would be appreciated on this one. It almost takes the enjoyment out of having this lovely fast phone and a beautiful screen to thumb type with...
Cheers.

I too have it but barely noticable!
I guess its because its learnt too many custom words from my sms's.
Long time Swype beta user, I converted to the newest version of the SwiftKey out of pure curiosity, and after trying for some days found that this is a keeper, and it is so fast when I open it and no problems whatsoever with this keyboard, I use also the default keyboard for hand writing with the spen board switcher, just amazing experience, so far. Btw I am using 240 dpi.
About your problem, try cleaning cache plus dalvik cache and reinstalling one or 2 times plus reboot. Hope this will help.

Same here.
In Hebrew if I flow more than 2 words it stops understanding what I flow, so I don't have THAT problem. On English its pretty annoying..
This happens sometimes. Sometimes the keyboard doesn't even disappear or anything like that because it's stuck. Only thing you can do, I imagine, is clear cache, and start again. Pain in the butt! But hey... it's all you can do ATM.
Happens with me too. When too many processes are running in the background, it sort of lags sometimes. Also it has crashed on me twice till now. Not much but just putting it here. You can try clearing the cache and see if that helps in any way!
unlink it from your SMS , facebook and twitter.
I use Swiftkey and no lags at all.
Thanks for all your replies guys.
Yeah have emailed them and got the usual. We work on improving it all the time blah blah. She said to use a task killer... Strange as we all know this isn't the best way to handle memory any more. That'll just ruin things more. Anyway...
Yeah I don't have it linked to any of my accounts, I don't have twitter ect anyway so I don't know what's causing the lag. I wish it was as smooth as my GNex... I don't understand, this phone is twice the specs and it lags on a keyboard, weird...
Sent from LV-426...
Strange, I never had the problem and I use Swiftkey for 3 months (with stock and dualnote roms (actually))
I think you should try to install again your rom, maybe you have some files corrupted and it makes it laggy.
If you are root, you can also try to use Greenify to decrease your ram usage or/and remove some app activities to disable autostart of them. (autostart or system tools app can do that)
Oh ok thanks man.
Yeah I haven't rooted yet. Going to but haven't got around to it haha. So fully stock and I'm having these issues. It's not unusable is just slower than it should be. And my GNex runs it perfect. It's strange.
Sent from LV-426...
Strange indeed, SwiftKey is an app I've never had issues or freezes with, and I restore it with data with TB on new roms like once a month.

Wow all I can say is that Swiftkey has been giving me lags ALL The time. I'm on MC3 and I"m not sure if it's the update or the program, but I have even reset to factory, started anew, backed up, cleared cache and then restored, I've tried EVERYTHING. Still laggy as hell and then buttery smooth at other times. Strange.
I noticed at times that it took a while or the keyboard won't show up at all. I was using latest Samsung Rom based on xxdmc3 with both Swype and swiftkey. I'm now on ARHD and its doing fine so far. Somehow I think the issue it with the libraries that calls for the keyboard to pop up when needed, and not necessarily from the keyboard app.

is there an option to use one keyboard for S-pen and another for key-press... like stock for s pen and swiftkey for hand writing??
I've a problem with Swiftkey on Quicksheet (from QuickOffice Pro) either on stock Polaris View :
When I have modified a cell, I can't modify a new one. These softwares freeze. And with the stock Samsung one all is ok.
Have you been facing this ?
Thanks

Is there any reason to use Swiftkey over Swype Beta? Because Swype works for me flawlessly and I have Swiftkey on my GNex and it seems to me that Swype is quite superior to Swiftkey?
Thanks again guys for your feedback.
Yeah I get all that bad stuff. As I've said I've emailed SwiftKey and they haven't helped me at all. Really disappointed.
I get laggy input and keyboard bring up is sometimes slow too. Geez, this device is quad core and should fly compared to my GNex... My GNex runs it like butter. Never misses a beat. Really confusing.

help with calibration

I started to notice where I tap on the screen isn't where the Note registers even with the pen. It doesn't do this all the time but when I'm browsing, I would end up "clicking" on the wrong link. When I'm using adobe reader, the pen works great and accurate when I'm highlighting and underlining. Works fine in candy crush. It's when it comes to a busy screen and need to be accurate as to where I "click", the Note just give me attitude. Is this a defective item? Seems worse on landscape too.
HELP!!!
I noticed such inaccuracy with chrome after last update While working just fine with any app. I think its app dependent

Hum..... I think you're right. Went to craigslist on stock broker and it was pinpoint accurate. Bummer... I like using chrome too. Hope they fix this issue.
I have the same problem with Chrome on the AT&T Note 8.0. It also won't scale websites correctly, and the upper toolbar covers the tops of the website, where there are usually buttons for the site. (home, logout, etc.)

It should be fixed in the beta version of chrome (android).
Here is a link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chrome.beta&hl=en
Chrome for Android is a joke. Google should be ashamed of that mess. It's amazing that OEMs stock browser and even the AOSP browser puts Chrome to shame. Google really needs to double down on it.
Are you using a cover that has a magnet? if so try to pull it out off the cover and try again. I notice a difference after taking it out from my casing(I didn't know it could cause this problem) I also didnt know that there is no option to calibrate where as my previous palm pilots and treo. Wish they could have added that option to calibrate.
Chrome's new hide the tabbar behaviour is responsible for the offset issue in Chrome, and is fixed in Chrome 29 (currently in beta).
In other apps I have experienced no offset or accuracy issue. I believe there's a guide in the forum about tuning the S-Pen by popping the button cover off and monkeying.

[Q] Is anyone else experiencing Dolphin Browser locking up on Note 3?

Hey guys and gals,
I love Dolphin Browser and have been using it since I entered the world of Android with an S3 and then a Note 2. I switched to a Note 3 a few weeks ago and I've been having really strange issues with Dolphin. It's getting to the point where it's unusable. I've wiped cached, uninstalled, reinstalled, updated to latest Flash apk, so I've done all the troubleshooting I can think of. I'm hoping someone can help or at least tell me I'm not the only one experiencing this.
When I open Dolphin, I can click through one or two links. I don't know exactly what causes this, but soon after, I press a link and the browser freezes. I can open new tabs and zoom in an out of the tabs that are currently open, but the status bar does nothing, I cannot interact with any links/images/anything on the loaded pages, and nothing else loads. I have to close the app and wait at least 15 min, or wipe the cache and open the app again. Same thing happens every time.
It's extremely weird and very annoying. I love the app but will have to switch if I cannot fix this issue.
Has anyone else been experiencing this? Do you know how to fix it?

Great, hope to see it fixed soon. Since I can guess you're a Dolphin user, what secondary browser do you recommend/think is the best? I love how Dolphin renders webpages and haven't found another that does quite as well (IMO).

I switch between Chrome and Stock depending on what i'm doing. Both have benefits
I use naked browser pro, aosp browser and chrome. Those are my favorites in that order.

I use Dolphin and I'm not seeing exactly what you are but it the browser is getting progressively annoying. What I'm seeing are pages taking forever to load. I click a link, the screen goes white...wait...wait....wait....get tired of waiting so I push 'stop' and then the page displays immediately. It's like it wants to pre-load the entire page before it shows anything at all, then it all comes up at once. Dolphin on my N4 recently developed this same behavior. If they don't get their stuff together I'll be ditching it.
My favorite browser by far and wide is Firefox. I used to use Dolphin before FF Mobile was stable enough for full time use but these days FF wipes the floor with Dolphin in terms of features. Firefox has an extensive addon collection for adblock, useragent switching, full screen, etc. plus it supports Flash Player and html5 videos perfectly. If you're not happy with stock and Chrome definitely try Firefox!

Have you tried to send a bug report to Dolphin Team?
You can send a detailed report in Dolphin Settings > Help > Send Feedback > Not responding.
I often do this to make Dolphin realize my issue and fix it.
You should try it !

S Note not working

Does anyone have issue with S Note closes after you open a new template? The app will open but when I click on the "+" sign it will immediately closed. I have been reading there has been similar issue with the Note 2 & 3 and many resolution suggested didn't seem to work on the Note 4. Phone is rooted and problem did not occur before this. I've tried clear cached, disable/enable the app, widget trick someone suggested, language update trick, and still no go. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Mine does it too. I have no idea why.

Just found the fix! So I change my build prop back to 4.4.4 (from the hd youtube mod) and it works again! I saw this from the other thread suggestion to fix Smart Remote (mine had the same issue too)
It seems the youtube hd mod breaks the smart remote and the S Note.
Thanks to pongoface from this thread :good:

yup! It's not worth breaking several apps/features on your phone just to make youtube app allow you to set 1440 and higher resolutions. they will probably update the youtube app soon enough and these workarounds won't be necessary.
