Hi all,
I've just got a TD2 as my first WM device, and my first PDA since a palm 5 circa 2001/2. I can see that this will be very useful, although I'm not sure it will fully meet my ideals - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=514973
Anyhow, there are somethings I would like to get sorted immediately.
Firstly - BIGGER FONTS! I have adjusted the screen setting to the largest font but this really doesn't seem to do it form me. Certainly, the vast majority of system tabs and setting are still very small. If I could only adjust one thing though, it would be the font size on the text messages. The zoom bar doesn't work here - it doesn't work in a lot of system screens - which I think is a real shame.
Sat Nav - a have seen the mention of TomTom, CoPilot and Navigon from several source but I'm not sure which one to go for. I use a standalone TomTom a work and am very happy with it, but is this the best for this device?
Bar Code Reader - is there such a thing? I have seen an app someone posted regarding 2D dot bar codes, but what I would like is to be able to read standard striped bar codes.
Bar code reader would be nice, But isn't that only for Android?

Hi,
did you try that, there's already a Topaz version
and using it as a bar code reader is not its main function
but very smart application, have a look

Thanks for the link! I'll try it when I get back from school!
IS ther anything that will read simple striped bar codes, such as serial number - that's more along the line of what I was after
this will use your camera to take a photo of a barcode and then go online and do price comparisons: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368798
oh and for a free GPS soluton that does turn by turn directions outloud (unlike GMaps and Liev Search) try AmazeGPS: http://www.fuzemobility.com/amaze-gps-free-turn-by-turn-gps-app/

Hi all,
a few people have asked me why I like Freenote+ and why I think it's better than S Memo, or other note taking apps.
I made a video to try and show the features that are the most useful for me.
I haven't shown all of the features of Freenote+, there are a lot of other useful features like the To Do list, shortcuts for commonly entered text (like your email address) and the paint function.
I've found similar features in other note taking apps, but Freenote seems to get in the way less for me and allow me to get notes down the quickest.
I hope you find it useful if you are looking for an alternative to S Memo.

That looks superb, exactly what I was looking for.
Silly question, but is Freenote+ the same as Freenote? (Thats the only one showing up on the Google Play store for me)
I think they've just added the + to the paid version.
This is the free version
This is the paid version
I don't think there is any difference in functionality, except for the nag screen on the free version. Once I had decided how much I liked it and how much I used it, it was worth paying the few bucks to get rid of the nag screen and to support the developer.
hi richlum,
thanks for the video.
to be honest, i didnt watched it till the end since i'm im quite aware of the functionalities.
but one thing i havent found so far, is how i increase the font size. i'm on ics stunner with 240. and i think the font is too small for me.
Do you have any solution?
Preferences> Editor> Handwritten
You can set the size of the handwriting there.
I have mine set at 50.

it doesn't support pressure sensitivity. and it's slow as hell. no use for me.
In Paint mode it is pressure sensitive. Press hard to get a think line, lightly to get a thing line.
But if your note taking involves a lot of drawing and artistic sketching (as opposed to just drawing some shapes and diagrams) there are a lot better drawing/sketching apps like Sketch Book Mobile and Infinite Painter.
But I don't do much drawing for my note taking.
And I'm not worried about the handwriting mode not being pressure sensitive.
Different people are going have different work flows. For me, Freenote is the quickest way I've found to get notes down without the interface getting in my way.
That's why we're lucky to have so much choice to be able to find what suits us best.
When i add it to my home screen as a widget, the words look blurry, what size did u set ur widget as and font scale? Thx!
My handwritten font size is 50.
I just inserted the largest widget and then resized it in ADW (I have mys screen setup to be a 10x10 grid).
Typed text looks clear than handwritten text on the widget for me, but it's still easily readable.

Hi ... I noticed a difference that adds to the beauty of this application :
If you use the big widget of it on the home screen , In freenote+ , you can toggle between pages right from the home screen .. while in the free version you can't ...
But in both versions , you can perform all other functions shown on the home screen "Except for editing" .
searched market but my needs are specific.
i need standard black text on white background but i need adjustable font size and to be able to share it to apps such as email,iprint etc
printing is actually the goal
my epson iprint app is available as a (share or send to option) by quite a few text/pad apps, the apps i have found with print/share option dont have adjustable font size.
i have quickoffice pro which has all options but when i send to print it looks as though it will/does but the print app just closes and doesnt print
help please
Ok so I just setup my classic printer through my PC to the Google Cloud Print service so that I can print stuff from my Nexus 5. I think I've found a bug. When i went to print a word document from Google Drive on my Nexus 5, I choose to print it in Black & White in the print dialog but the document still printed in color. From what I understand the printing feature from Kit Kat converts doctments, pictures, or whatever into a PDF file which is then sent to the printer. It it would be my understanding that when you choose Black & White in the print dialog, it should create a Black & White PDF file of whatever you are printing and send that to the printer. So unlike a normal printer when you tell it to print in black & white, you are creating a black & white PDF instead of changing the actual printer settings to Black & white....
Can someone else please try to print a color document from your phone and choose the Black & White option to see if it still prints in color for you too?
