Are you interested in the hidden secret codes? If so, install this app: Phone INFO ★Samsung★

The MyScript Stylus not is necessary because when you use the pen in textbox opens one option to you use it!
I prefer the "MyScript Smart Note" have more options with the pen.
: Bom:
The others app I don't know of. I Go test them.

I always think "this time I will use S Note becuase it's so nice" but end up using LectureNotes for writing - it is my must have app number one for all Note devices. Although for Note 4 it requires a bit of configuration (for example thicker pens are a must for such resolution), thankfully it's easy to do.

For me is the optical reader app from note 2 the nr.1 app of the must have's!!
I tried the port for Note 3 and it works perfectly

There are a lot of features missing in this version. I wish, a developer ports the S4 optical reader app for our Note 4. It is one of the most versatile apps, in my opinion.

I just got my GN4, I previously had the HTC One M7. I was using Lockdown Pro to secure my contacts, messaging settings, etc... But I discovered a new app, Fingersecurity by Rick Cephas. It uses the GN4'S fingerprint scanner to secure your selected apps (pin code is optional as well). It's available free in the Playstore. I give it 5 stars!

I second this! I hate the finger print lock for the homescreen as I usually fail at least 3 times to get a good read and that makes opening it while driving or multitasking horrendous. With this app, I am able to lock my private photos through finger print and nothing else. You basically download this app and then tell it which apps on the phone will require a finger print scan to be activated.

[Q] Looking for note taking app(with stylus)like notes plus (for ipad) --> palm pad!
Hey there,
I am looking for some app for android with a palm pad like the app notes plus for ipad has it
http://notesplusapp.com/
I found "make notes beta" but it is really not much more of a beta i have the feeling with input being very buggy and so on.
Does anyone have an idea if there is something like that?
Or is there a way to somehow deactivate multitouch support for some time in order to write with a stylus?
Thanks for your help!

Take a look at Skitch, it supports annotation and writing with a stylus. It also integrates well with Evernote, which is great for storing and taking all kinds of notes, with cross platform support.

I had a look at it but from the looks of the youtube video it seems like all the persons writing there definitely lift their palm / wrist when writing. Is there any palm rejection/ some kind of pad?
Thanks for your help already!

[APPS] That work with S-PEN

Hey guys!
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 forum is pretty dang quiet! Lets get some discussion going on!
Which brings me to this, Post apps that you know work with the S-Pen / button click
Here is a couple apps that I know that are not samsung that work with S-Pen
DOSBox Turbo
Description: The S-Pen works perfectly as a mouse, it senses it and even the button acts like a right click! That means you can boot up old games like Red Alert and play them with the S-Pen just fine! Starcraft works wonders as well!
Intergration level: Excellent
Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fishstix.dosbox&hl=en
This list is incomplete, I will be adding more as I test further. Yoru input is needed! :victory:

Does MyScript Notes do audio recordings and nested folders? It looks interesting but without a trial version I am unwilling to fork over $8 to try it to see.
Drawing Pad works.
Also the free "Galaxy" version you get with your Note of "Mobile Sketchbook" works very well. You have to press a shortcut in your app drawer to get it to install.
I like Handy Notes and its integration with the contacts, calendar, etc.

Quill, a neat vector note taking app. I think it's even opensource.
Just bought it and it works amazingly good. I tried watcraft and xcom 2. How do you handle map scrolling though? I can't figure out a way that lets you scroll the map around nicely.

"Microsoft Remote Desktop" works perfectly :good:
Jump Desktop works really well including right-click if you have air command disabled.
Q: Does anyone know if there is a way to selectively disable air command for some apps? I would like to leave it enabled globally but disable it for Jump so that it doesn't pop up when I click the button to perform a right-click. Thanks.

Note app with text handwriting recognition

Hello
I just picked up the note 10.1 and after some reading around have downloaded and played with snote, papyrus, lecture notes, and note anytime and so far am not too impressed with either.
I'm looking for an app that takes notes mostly via handwriting recognition and allows me to free draw as well for meetings then export said notes into .doc or pdf (reason why I bought the note in the first place). .
What app are you all using for note taking at meetings and such that does a good job with handwriting recognition?
Sent from my SM-P600 using XDA Premium HD app
So far I feel I will likely use polaris word and the handwriting keyboard to input. Easy to make headings and in a common editable format. Then for sketches I use sketchbook pro and insert the pic into the document.
But it's not perfect. Wasn't impressed with snote really. Only had mine for 2 days though.
You can always use built-in handwriting recognition within any note taking app. Or use MyScript Stylus beta, works very well.
I'm using SPenBoard switcher, any time I use the pen it switches to Stylus beta, otherwise it's the keyboard for input.

I use Mazec2 handwriting keyboard that'll work with any application, I tried MyScript Stylus and Mazec just has the edge, but it's a close call - they're both very good at what they do.

I'm trying to find this app "SpenBoard switcher". I went to google play store and couldn't find it. Where did you find it?
Sorry, I found it but it says my tablet needs to be rooted. Is there an alternative for a non rooted tablet?
Please anyone know about any MyStylus Beta mod? Anyone please????e????
Hi there you amazing people,
I have been a user of My Stylus Beta for a very long time and its by far the best handwriting recognition software ever. The problem is that the company has dumped the software and its no longer working anymore. Even when you decide to use it anyway you get it and you have resigned yourself to eternal usage of this app without further updates,but they took that option off the table when the app stopped working on the devices and its not even available for download on Google Play anymore , pls can anyone help? would be eternally grateful if someone can help.Thanks so very much. :crying:e????e????

Actually there are not comparable in anyway. Stylus Beta is by far superior and has a seamless writing style. There are some kinks to be worked out for sure but its far better. I think the company made a bad call cancelling out the app without giving it a chance.
Handwriting App
Try Nebo, to find in the Playstore.

[Solved]What's a free note taking application that has a Windows Desktop Client?

Hi All!
As it says in the title, can someone recommend a good note taking application that has a desktop application?
I've read a bit about the topic and Evernote comes to mind. However, it's not free. Thanks in advance.
Bumping this to the first page. :angel:
AFAIK, Evernote is free with additional features added in a premium subscription. If you are looking to something completely free and lightweight, try Google Keep, it provides web access and also Chrome extension.

Yes, Evernote is indeed free up to a certain point but 60MB, even for full text notes, isn't sufficient.
I tried migrating my notes to Keep right now and I think this might actually work. I've read about it in the past but it didn't appeal to me because of the lack of an actual desktop client (I never used Chrome Apps before). Thanks for suggesting it!
Pros:
1. Very clean interface
2. Offline note taking and viewing in both the Chrome Application (More on this later) and the mobile client.
3. All features are free!
4. Sync seems to work flawlessly
Cons:
1.Chrome Application means I have to sign in to Chrome and disable all syncing except for Apps as I don't like syncing my data onto Google.
2. Chrome Application is preventing me from maximizing notes as I edit them. I have wall-of-text type of notes and this really hurts my eyes. I suppose this can be remedied by changing my note taking habits.
3. I can't re-order my notes. They are shown in ascending order by date created?
All in all I think I can make this work. I just need to re-arrange my notes for this specific application. If anyone else has any input or can show me how to relieve myself of the OCD inducing annoyances I've found so far, please chime in
I haven't really used Google keep yet (already a long time user of evernote) but have you looked into one note by Microsoft? It has a free version. Lifehacker.com just did an in depth comparison of evernote and one note. Might be worth looking in to.

Seconding the Microsoft OneNote suggestion. There's a free version for Windows now and AFAIK it also works with their Android app

Yes, I recently saw that article. But this completely shut down the idea for me. Apparently, I'm only able to use this in the paid version:
Create notebooks on your PC. Create notebooks saved to your hard drive (offline) in addition to being saved to your OneDrive. Being able to work with notebooks offline as well as online is great for anyone with a spotty network connection or those who are always on the go.

But, I'm not so sure I understand what it means. Basically, I need to be able to access my notes offline (I don't have a mobile data plan) and once online, be able to sync them again. Since you folks seem to have experience using it, can you tell me how it works?
Honestly, I was able to see the UI of OneNote and it seemed a lot more appealing to me.
I tried out one note briefly awhile ago and it should do what you want. The paragraph you quoted seems to say the same. The notes are saved offline and they sync with your one drive account.

The paragraph I quoted is specifically under the "What do I get in the premium version of this application" section. However, I guess it wouldn't hurt to try. I'll download it now and see how it functions. Will let you guys know. Thanks for the advice!:good:

Accessing it from there has the same exact interface as the Keep Chrome Application. Thanks for the suggestion though
I still wasn't able to find the time to test out the free version of OneNote. Been a bit busy today. I suppose I could take a note that I should test OneNote in Google Keep which I'm currently using
I'll make a short review once I'm done doing just that.
Thanks for all the suggestions!
Edit - It seems I haven't found the time to review OneNote. In addition, Keep serves me very well. The only real caveat I have with it is the inability to reorder my notes.
Edit 2- It seems my brain is tired and after a week with no suggestions from other users, I've finally figured out how to move notes around.
One simply needs to click and drag the notes around. < How I didn't figure this one out seems baffling to me. I need to exercise my brain more :'(

OneNote

Microsoft OneNote seems like a good alternative to s note, papyrus, lecture notes, etc. I like the sync functionality and the ui of the app. It works well with handwriting with the s pen. The only thing that I can't find is importing PDFs to write on top of.
Anyone else try it out on your note and have any impressions?

Haven't yet but I'm going to try it out
It does not have import pdf option, at least not on tablet. Handwriting is very good, syncs with computer very quickly. On computer it also has handwriting recognition, you can search your handwritten notes.

Yea if it had import pdf or power point and handwriting search on the tablet itself it would make it perfect. But having those features on the desktop and a pretty seamless sync ability may let me overlook those omissions for now. I'll test it in my classes over the next couple of days.
It seems that one needs to have an internet connection to use it. When I launched the app, it asked me to login to hotmail account.
I have increased my use of One Note. It has issues that Lecture Notes handles well. With pen enabled, the finger still works. Screen control has issues, importing pictures and viewing are issues. Anyway, I use it for its synch functionality.

I haven't run into too many issues like that, finger doesn't draw for me when the pen is out. However, I do accidentally pull up the keyboard from putting my hand on the screen. I'm not sure how importing pictures work but I thought that functionality was built into the app.

Can you please tell me if the Samsung Note 10.1 that you installed OneNote on was rooted? I tried installing OneNote to my Note 10.1 but it gave a "Not compatible for your system" error. The Android version on my device is 4.1.2 and apparently, the earliest version that OneNote can be installed on is 4.4.2. So, I am wondering if there is not solution but to root or is there another way to update the andriod?
I loved it until I lost all my notes in the middle of a meeting one day. Of course the loss instantly sync'd with the online notes and they were lost their too. I somehow highlighted the whole page and it deleted everything when I hit the next letter. And there's NO undo button. I don't understand why there's no undo So now I use something else.
