[Q] - Note 2 Noob

Hello there,
it's now been 1 week since I have my new Note II. Must say: awesome
I know that I haven't discovered all phones feature but I'm exited to discover them. Last cool thing found out: Say "Cheese" to make a photo :laugh:
I've got some question :
1) Actually I've got a TPU case but I would to change it. I'd like to have a Diary Case but I could not find any usefull. The biggest problem was to extract the S-Pen with the diary case I've tested. I'd like to have one that does not have this problem and that have a hole to hear well calls without open it. It should protect well if it accidentally fall down (but I didn't like things like Defender Case). Could you suggest anything?
Optional : Have the possibility to put the phone horizontally
2) When I press the Home button, when it is in stand-by, I must wait 1 second before I can unlock my phone. Why? I'd like to have it immediately. I already disables S-Voice, anything else to do?
3) I'm searching a little bluetooth keyboard, not little as the phone. I was asking me: should I search for a keyboard with trackpad or is it not usefull? (I need the keyboard mainly to take notes)
4) S-Pen : Do you manage to write properly? Is there a cheat or anything? :silly: I've have tested to write something but it seems hard for me
5) Are there any Must-Have apps for Note 2?
6) I've have got problem with the stock email app. Doesn't download mail even with syncro on etc, I delete the email and then he re-download it. Is this normal?
Thanks a lot guys :good:
PS. Power to the Note 2!!

I cant answer all the question as i do not have any knowl3dge about the accesories for note 2
Ques2: try and go to the developer option and turn off all the animations or maybe change it to ×0.5
Ques 4: yes, but i have heard that some have got a too sensitive s pen, and if you have that you should get it replaced

Thanks for the answer. Seems not to be gone this way..
Really? Should I give them back the phone to get it replaced?
Adding another Q..
I've got a Galaxy S charger, can I use that to charge the Note 2 without problem?

No one could help?

1- you should really visit a accessory or mobile shop which keeps all kinds of stuff, there you'll see variety. seeing just the pic and ordering isn't gonna satisfy you
2- I really hate when people curse about waiting 2-3 seconds for a job to be done. i mean how long can be one second
3-you should search galaxy note 2. in my opinion lend a normal Bluetooth keyboard and see if it works with your phone. i read it's possible, but try it first.again accessory store could help. i saw a apple keyboard being connected to note 2.
4- you gotta practice with the s pen. i have used the phone for 2 weeks, and with continuous typing(swype) i manage to write well. do try swiftkey3 and swiftkey flow with pen. they are good apps.
5-must have- no, there isn't actually much use imao, according to my daily use, maybe for others it is. yeah i do make drawings for time pass or write memos instead of typing them in my stupid and not understandable by normal beings , s note and paper artist are enough imao. if you do a lot of video viewing or are new to android air view might help or really are a multitasking user or a busy one, multi window should be a delight.
6-if you can normally use it now just don't give a damn what happened
hope i helped you. if i did hit thanks

Create your own list of 'must have apps' according to your preferences.
For me it would be Opera Mobile, Kindle, Kobo, UB Reader, Google Translate, Merriam-Webster, Advanced English Dictionary and Thesaurus, Quickoffice Pro, Note Everything, Currency, Astro File Manager, Endomondo, Sports Tracker, NBA Game Time, MX Player Pro, Winamp Pro, PowerAmp Pro, Sound Hound, TuneIn Radio Pro, Convertor Pro, Gallery Lock Pro, Smart Tools, a dozens of games and of course xda premium

There is a must have list of apps thread in the themes section

[Q] Is Samsung done developing S-Note?

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.

Why don't u do the work and forward the post that you wrote here to Samsung ... you have a better chance of it happening i if you were to send your recommendations to Samsung ... Not many on here work for Samsung I am guessing ....
Maybe they just don't have creative people on this app. ... maybe they would give you something as a reward. .. never know until you try ... or you could learn Java code your own app and instant profit

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!

Why don't you do a search finding samsungs emails isnt that hard. Or you could just keep stomping your feet and crying about it. That's really productive. :thumbdown: samsungs forum's aren't on samsung.com but Google can tell you how to find em if you actually, you know, searched.
Edit: just cuz I'm feeling nice http://developer.samsung.com/forum/en took all of 2 seconds searching "samsung + forum" on teh googlez
I like to break stuff!

[Q] how to insert pic in email signature

Hi All,
I am having a hard time trying to figure out how to put a picture (and I don't know if it has to be a certain file extention) into my email signature for work on my Galaxy Note 8 LTE from AT&T. I have the company logo that I need to put into my signature but I cant seem to drop it in like I have done on my Note 2... and S4 with no problem. Please help if you have any ideas. If I have to make it a different file extention then I will, right now I have it as a jpg.
Thanks in Advance

[Q] S Note Will Not Open PDF

Hey Guys,
I'm trying to get a pdf to open up on S Note so I can draw over it with the S Pen. However, it's giving me troubles. This is what it's showing me when I hit Import--> My Files-->PDF File-->Then I go search for the file in my downloads folder-->and then this is what pops up.
It's not giving me a choice to open it up with S Note. Any suggestions?
EDIT: I need to first get 10 posts before I can put up the image. I'm going to try and get the 10 posts, but if not, feel free to PM me, if you're willing to help, and I'll send the picture.

Generally, s Note is not well known for annotating pdfs . For this l would recommend you ezPDF reader or papyrus . Unfortunately you have to pay for both at some point .
Are you sure that your pdfs are in that location ? try to move them elsewhere to see what happens !
Regarding S Note did you select the pdf that you want in the inner circle at pdf's top and then hit done? Notice that if you had it can take a century till s note to load it ! l have tried it and I don't recomend it at all!!

In S Note click on "Recent Notes", top left corner, make sure it now shows "All Notes". Click menu, import, my files, select pdf, import your file.

Samsung Game Launcher Backup & Recovery

I apologize if this in the incorrect location.
I just upgraded my GS9+ to the GS20 Ultra and everything went smooth except i can not for the life of me find a way to backup and restore my "Samsung Game Launcher" data. I have close to 2,000 hours of gameplay that i would like to keep historically. I feel that the only way to recover this data is to find the file in the folder structure and copy and past it into my new phone. Or theory number 2, i need to find the file that has the game data saved in it, open it with notepad++ and copy and paste into the file on my gs20 Ultra.
If anyone has found a solution to this it would be very much appreciated. I need to return my phone soon for the trade in so that is why im rushed to find a solution. Worst case, i will be making a full backup of the root folders of the phone.
Thanks for everything!

Shouldn't have to do this but are you rooted? Surely titanium would take care of this
Is there a cloud sync feature? Sounds silly in this day and age that this isn't covered, if you aren't already sign into your Samsung account, see if it's part of the back up.
Not sure about copying manually, so long as it doesn't check certain things about the device if was originally on like the IMEI / model number you should be fine.
No idea how to do that last method myself though.
Good luck man

Unfortunately it's not rooted. Don't really feel comfortable doing that to a $1400 2 day old phone. But that would simplify the issue.
I am logged into samsung. They literally do not have a backup/restore feature native to the app. I emailed them and that was their response.
I feel like the only way is to manually find the files. But I'm not an expert with this stuff by no means.
