"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.

Just sent them a letter.
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
Hi guys. Any news on this?
I really miss the "transform into" option.

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.

It's all there it's just different
Hi guys,
is there a way to get into the Google smart lock settings manually?
Unfortunately you will only see this menu by pairing a new bluetooth device, then you will get a popup regarding the smart lock settings.
This has been discussed a lot in the xiaomi forum, xiaomi just removed the frontend from all of their roms.
I tried a few apps like Smart Lock Launcher and Quick Shortcut Maker, but they do not work.
The build in feature in the lockscreen settings is only working for xiaomi devices.
Any solution?
No idea?
You're talking about MIUI? For the relatively short period that I used it, it looked to me as if Xiaomi had completely replaced the Android code with their own version that only worked with Xiaomi devices. I never found a way around it. It's one of the many reasons why I only lasted a couple of weeks on MIUI.
same
Likewise, seems Xiaomi only allows their own devices to be able to smart unlock the phone.
Google smartlock seems to be disabled.
I also don't get google map notifications on my lock screen.
Will be my last xiaomi device unless they fix this soon

Don't really know enough to do that - plus I hate having to tinker with things. Wish I went with the One Plus...only issue I had on my One Plus 5T was the issues with the sound recording on third party apps
On MIUI EU I found that if you pair a bluetooth device it gives you the option to enable smart lock for it then you can press back and setup smart lock for onbody / location however smart lock doesn't work.
Even when connected to the bluetooth device / at home etc it still wants a pin if you just try and swipe up.
Pretty disappointing

Yeah, if I'd bought this and was stuck on MIUI, I'd be pretty unhappy. Have you tried it with one of the supported Xiaomi headset devices?

That's what makes me leave miui every time, you can install smart unlock from play store, everything looks like it's going to work but it doesn't.

It's like night & day being back on stock Android. As soon as I started using the PE rom I was overcome with an immense sense of relief, I'd been starting to wonder if I'd made a very expensive mistake by buying the MM3.
Many may like this new feature but I do not. It is too easy to hit the Sceen button by mistake when pulling phone out of pocket for example, subjecting your caller to the message and creating confusion.
Unfortunately, Google feels we should all have this with no choice and has provided no proper way of disabling it. (smells like IOS)
Changing phone language to UK English worked until new Phone app update today.
Reverting to original Phone app also works but then no dark mode and loss of other new features.
I have thought of going to a custom ROM but then wondered if that is even a solution as this is in the Phone.apk that I would be updating from Play Store anyway.
Can anyone please let me know if this is the case with custom ROMs - do you have Call Screen or not?
Any other way to disable this?
Thanks

This is the Global version that just came out a couple of days ago. Some minor annoyances that was hoping to get some help on:
1. There seems to be no way to display the battery percentage.
Does anyone know of a system app that I need to disable to get this to work? None of the solutions online work with the Red Magic 5G overlay with Android 10, and I don't want to install a third party widget to get this done.
2. As far as I know, I can't customize the lock screen outside of a wallpaper.
Just shows a general date and time but I would like to put widgets or additional information if possible. If anyone has any insight let me know.
I know the phone just came out, but these two issues are EXTREMELY annoying. I honestly might have to flash this when a method becomes available because I'm definitely not liking the lack of customization Nubia has put on with their Android 10 overlay.
May i ask of yours is passing safety net?

Regarding #1, you are screwed. I've seen this mentioned a few times on different YouTube reviews. Regarding #2, you are correct. But even more surprising and ridiculous is #3, which I'll add here. It appears Nubia is forcing you to use the stock launcher! Yes, that's right, it's currently IMPOSSIBLE to use ANY launcher other than the one that comes out of the box. Nubia has said that this is INTENTIONAL! CRAZY!
I have battery percentage on mine.
Settings > power management > electricity percentage.
There is no settings > power management
Yeah same don't have those options.
Also can't figure out how to access APN settings
I've read that the only way to see % battery is to activate AOD, and the % will be displayed.
Best regards.
You have the latest firmware. My god the launcher is so buggy and bad. They really should let you use whichever launcher you want. Also no setting to change screen dpi or size and it doesn't even have the android 10 notifications. You can't expand or delete or reply from notification drawer. This is really really poor
What versions does everyone have.
I am NX659J_ENCommon_V4.05
Pulse version of phone.
I have no power management options.
I can reply in line to notification in the notification tray.
How is your Wifi speed? I have tried mine on 2Ghz and 5Ghz and I only get about 30MB down, whereas my Honor View 20 gets 100MB.
Launcher is fine once you have it all setup, but kept saying shortcut already exists. If you rebooted you see they are there.
Now I have it all as want it, thats not really an issue now, but not a great setup experience.

That's so weird no updates available for mine also
Battery Meter Overlay was the only app that I found to be able to show the battery % (choose the "Overlap the Statusbar" option). You have to buy the paid version if you want to hide it in full screen mode. It is not perfect, but it is better than nothing. You can choose from different kind of themes and change the colours, scale and position so it is pretty customizable
I already new about Nubia blocking the use of custom launchers (saw a review where it was mentioned) before buying the phone and wrote them about it and asked them to revert this bad decision (and I also told them to fix the missing battery %). I hope you all write them about it as well, so they know that they have to fix these issues. And if they don't allow the use of custom launchers they have to give us a better stock launcher with much better customizability.
Do different models have different firmware?
Have they ever pushed an update in previous versions?
Anyone getting poor WiFi speeds?
Mine is just about 30mb down on 5ghz WiFi when my other phone pushes 100mb.
Tried 2ghz even worse.
Thanks

Hi, i was wondering if its possible to port the face recognition option we used to have on older android versions as a mod on the pixel 6 pro. I believe they used the front camera.
Are there any accuracy problems associated with using front camera?
I just needed a faster option to unlock at work as my hands get kinda dirty and the FP sensor on pixel 6 is sensitive to dust unlike the one on my pixel 3 XL (RIP legend).
If there is a solution that exists already, please forgive my naivety and point me to the thread/discussion for it. Thank you!
I don't think there is currently a solution and I doubt there will be unless Google includes it later.
Can you use smart unlock, with your works WiFi? Or location unlock if it has that?
There were reports that FaceID is in the code, but that it was not used on the P6 because it drains the battery. Since the battery is not great as is, I can see the point. I also wonder how secure it is, as Apple uses dedicated hardware to ensure security (thus the notch), but Google seems to rely on the camera alone -- I assume it's a more secure unlock than the totally inon-secure fake FaceID unlocks on many Chinese phones, like Xiaomi.
On another note, I am trying to use my Garmin watch as a trusted device, but about half the time it doesn't work and the phone would ask for PIN. The trusted device implementation, at least with a watch, is kind of a joke, so I am thinking of disabling it at this point.
I am using Trusted Location. Seems like its working fine. Google 'begs' to have you turn 'on' location function for several of its niceties to work. So security joins the growing pile.

Trusted location is poor security, for many reasons.
Anyone at the location can unlock your phone, so for most of us it's not a solution.
My security is my phone is always on me. I never have left a phone anywhere, lost one, or had one stolen...

Was about to say this. Wifi/Location unlocking when at work is not a good idea.
There is a reason why we lock our phones, and no human is perfect - you might forget it for a moment, or get distracted - whatever.
If someone doesn't care for security in any way (I am perfect & my phone will 24/7 stay on me, no matter what) then he/she/is doesn't need any sort of security active in the first place.

It can certainly be done, but you'll have to write some of the code for it yourself. There are a number of open source facial recognition packages available that you can leverage for this.

I work in construction and so there's usually no wifi at work. And the location differs almost everyday so that won't be a viable solution as well.

Nononono, wrong approach. You do NOT want to bypass phone security. You want to integrate into it. Android is an open source operating system, just find the code where the 4 included unlock mechanisms are defined (swipe/pattern/pin/password), and add your own in the same way.

Fax cus I'm sure that "don't turn off screen if I'm looking at it" feature uses battery and it's ALWAYS ON when you're on your phone if you turn it on. Face ID only on when you use it, how can that even affect battery ?
Pixel 5 has face ID on one of the custom Roms, can't remember which one though.

Yeah but it would only be looking for one thing. Maybe all the battery used on image processing for FaceID adds up over the many unlocks during the course of the day. Thats why i am keen to have it enabled only while I'm at work as the FP works fine in all other circumstances.
