how to set up gtab 3 8.0 for a kid? - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm going to give my 8.0 top my gf's daughter. Is there a way to make an account for just a kid that limits play store access or email...etc? I couldn't find the add account in the settings of my tab.

I don't think you can but if we ever see kit kat on our 8.0 tabs, we might be able to if they add multi user.

[Q] S-Note App Previews MISSING??

used a Note II for over a year now
just upgraded today to the note 3, to discover that in the S Note app, when you create a new note, THERE"S NO PREVIEW!!!
before on the note 2, when you open the app, there's a grid style listing of all your notes, each one with a preview of its contents!
Very useful when you have almost a hundred notes!
I imported everything using my Samsung account, and EVERY note on the new note 3 phone has a "cover" over the notes!! no previews!
so when i open the app, im greeted by TONS of blue (or whatever color) boxes, making it nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find the note im looking for!
are there any other users out there that HEAVILY use the S-Note app that understand my frustration???
Searching Google is pointless... and i swear ive been thru EVERY setting trying to figure it out...
why would they CHANGE THIS???!?!
anyone know how to get the previews back??
I found that if i go into EACH note, I can create a preview, and have to re size a preview box, but that would take hours for all my notes, and still doesn't solve the problem of new notes defaulting to having a preview for the "cover"
I know there's that drag down thing to see a preview.. but once again, this defeats the purpose.. its gone from a super useful app, to not usable at all!!
I need to see a list / grid of previews when opening app up!
HELP!!!
any advice appreciated!
FYI im not looking for alternative apps - so I don't need suggestions to "stop using" Snote I know its a semi-crappy app.. but REALLY>>>?? common samsung!!!

Use the S-pen and hover over them. It's not the best, but it works for me. don't think there's any settings to fix the app itself. Hope I helped.

yea.. its not ideal, but thanks! I turned airview back on, and it least i can see something. thanks for the help!
I know I hope someone finds a way to fix it entirely! It's a shame when they have something great in previous devices but goof up in the newer ones. Let's just be patient, I bet a lot of people agree with this issue! I just saw no one was replying and I'd just give you an option

This, along with losing text reflow in the stock browse, are two VERY big Note 3 letdowns.

[Q] Transfering old s note files to the new s note.

Is there a way to transfer the old s note files into the new one? I tried moving them over, but s note crashes when it tries to convert the notes. At one point it restarted without me even realizing until I found myself staring at the boot up logo.
I really don't want to have to export the notes one by one as pdf's and then import in my new 2014... I have too many notes for that to be a good idea. there must be a better way.
EDIT:
I've been working with the trial verision of lecture notes and I'm really liking it. So I'm hoping there might be a way to export multiple snb files to pdf?
Old S Note Files transfer horribly to new S Note App

I am very frustrated as well. I brought in my latest snb file to continue my meeting notes after purchasing the Note 2014, and the conversion was horrible. I mix my notes up with handwritten text, text input, and sketches, and the snb file converted is not even usable. I tried copying the old S Note app to the Note 2014, but to no avail. Does that mean going forward, my years worth of snb files are crap if I want to continue using the New 2014 tablet? Thank god I have the Note 2 to use for my old snb files for now. I had to export my latest snb file to PDF on my Note 2, then insert it as a new note in 2014, then add a new page, and it was ok, BUT, why should we have to do that for every file? I guess we will have to wait for root. Not happy right now!
samsung account?
What worked for me was to set my Samsung account to sync snotes on my note2. Then from the menu of the 10.1 2014, import from that account. After they were there, open each one individually to convert them to the new snote. Worked fine. Got the note3 the next day, and they were already synced no issues. You could try ever note from the note2 as well. Then the 10.1 2014. Hope that helps. Great feature to not have work.

How do you guys/gals use S-Note? (if you even use it at all)

Hey all,
I've been loving the Note 3 and getting into the S features much more than I ever did on my Note 1. I often find uses for the scrapbook feature and the action memo handwriting recognition is ridiculous. I can't seem to find a use for S-Note however. For drawing I'll just use SketchBook pro and for quick memos I'll use Google Keep or google tasks.
I'm curious, do any of you use S Note for anything useful, and if so could you share your experience.
on my note 2 it for quotes when I went to bid out a job. No I cant sync it with Google so rarely use it.

S pen copy to clip board

After days of research I still have not found the answer that I am looking for. My old note 10.1 tablet was used extensively for school. I keep my textbooks and notes on it. The digitizer died so I upgraded to a 2014 edition. I am very upset over the loss of functionality with this tablet. When I lasso something I get the option to copy it to scrapbook and a whole bunch of other programs but not the clip board or gallery. I can copy it to lecture notes but it is done in a very clunky way. With my old note tablet I would simply lasso something like an equation in a text book and I would then wait about 5 seconds and the picture would disappear and automatically be save to clipboard. I then switched back to lecture notes and I would click the menu and select Import image and then choose gallery and my lassoed image would be right there. I simply selected it, change the size how I needed it and clicked the little check mark. Done.
With the new note there is no way to save to clipboard. My only other option is to upload it to a program like photos, Picasa, drive, and so on. I should not need an internet connection to upload something to what is basically being used as a clipboard. How do I get this feature back? Do I need to root? Can I reinstall the old note program or settings? Of course samsung says that it can't be done but I find that hard to believe since the older tablet did it just fine. Any help is appreciated.
Does lecture notes not appear in the list of programs you can send the selection to? Maybe you can ask the developer to help, as ever note, one note, snote etc are all there. Much easier than copying to clipboard and then importing.
By the way, once you send it to a program, it does get copied to the clipboard automatically. You can paste it if you are using the Samsung keyboard.

Yes it does, but the issue is that when I select it, it wants to open it in a new notebook or open a existing notebook and then insert it at the beginning of the notebook. If I am in a class where I have taken lots of notes then I have to drag the inserted image to the bottom of the page, use the volume buttons to move the page down, then drag again, move page, again and again for however many pages of notes I have. The way it used to work was I lassoed something, copied to clipboard, went back to lecture notes where I had just left it, insert image and confirm. It has changed from about a 10 second process to 30 seconds or more for a single image. At this point I would be happy with removing the new snote and spen settings from both my note 4 and note 10.1 2014 and putting the old snote/spen settings back in to get this functionality back. It's just stupid that clipboard is not an option. And the ONLY reason that it seems it isn't is because Samsung wants us to use it's apps, which it has already shown that it won't support from version to version. I used to use snote for all of this but when I upgraded my phone my old tablet and the new phone would no longer sync. So I upgraded the tablet too and now wish I hadn't. The moment another company comes out with a comparable product with native stylus support, I am done with Samsung.
Yeah, It's annoying that there is no copy to clipboard option. I also use it for notes and I multiwindow a PDF reader with Lecture notes. The lecture notes option in the lasso kills the multiwindow and, as you said, it works weirdly.
The solution I found: Select whatever you want to copy with the lasso. In the apps selection bar, select the Bluetooth option (with Bluetooth off). If you see at the bottom. Of the screen, a little white rectangle will say 'Copied to clipboard'. Then a popup will appear saying: 'You need to enable bluetooth' Click Cancel and wohala!!
Paste it as you know.
I actually posted this in a conversation with acadroid, Lecturenotes creator, somewhere.
Edit: Here, better explained with images:

Tell me if it works..
It does seem to copy to a "non standard" clip board. Thanks for the tip. I also noticed that after trying this that if I select lecture note from the menu it is not trying to open a new note book now. It seems to try to insert the picture where I last was in lecture notes. Not sure why the change. I think I can make it work. I think the failure here is mostly not being able to copy straight to a clip board or the gallery but that is more on samsung than lecture notes. And lector notes is one hell of a step up from snote. Thanks for the tips everyone.
@sendeth: I am not sure whether this helps, but LectureNotes has an open `import image in open notebook´ in the app's import settings. If you enable this option, any image which is opened with LectureNotes or shared to LectureNotes gets directly imported (or, more precisely, placed for import) into the currently open notebook.
You might want to wait for the lollipop upgrade, or do it if you already have it available. It has the smart clip feature from Note 4, which let's you grab screen clips and keep them in a floating tray onscreen, then paste into whichever application you want. I use it all the time on the edge, and it works pretty well. Haven't tried with LN though.

Dead GT-N5110 Seeking name of note-taking app in hope data is online

I took a lot of notes, dumped a lot of ideas, into a note-taking app on my Galaxy Note 8.0 (wifi) GT-N5110. The tablet is dead. I left it under the seat in my car and forgot about it for a summer a few years ago. Battery replacement didn't bring it back. If I knew the name of the app, the data could be online if the service isn't dead.
I'm looking for the name of a pre-loaded note-taking or journal app on the tablet. I'm not talking about S Note. This app wasn't made for the pen. Pages could have different backgrounds. Notes could be organized into groups. Anyone have a clue?
Is there a way to emulate the original image for the tablet? (Or just get a list of the pre-loaded apps?)

I think the App is called "S Note". I could not find it in the Galaxy Store and the content from my Note 8.0 does not appear in my phone's "Samsung Notes" app. I read somewhere, that Samsung had an "S Note for PC" program out, but I could not find the download. I hope it's a start.
