Hello All,
I am a high school math teacher considering the purchase of this for classroom usage. My goal is to wirelessly connect to my desktop PC and run my windows software from the tablet (using Jump Desktop or something similar). I will be controlling a program called SMART Notebook. My question is this: the only reason I really want this tablet over many others is the accuracy of the S Pen, which will be awesome for writing equations and such. However, will the S Pen even work while using those remote desktop control apps? I've heard people say it only works for a hand full of apps. If this is true, I would not purchase this tablet. Other tablets just are so unresponsive with styli that I've tried. It's very frustrating. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!!

In case this is a tl;dr situation:
Will the S pen function smoothly and accurately in an app such as Jump Desktop or any other app where you remote access a PC?

U do know that the s note app automatically does math formulas and equations. Actually works pretty cool. Just to play around I wrote up a bunch of fake equations and it figured it out

Somehow i think you unresponsiveness issue is not coming from tablet itself but the network you used to connect both device... if that's the case note 10.1 wont be any help either...

I was testing the tablets with no network connection. I was just testing the accuracy of writing with various styli on various tablets. I didn't have an opportunity to try the whole PC remote control setup in the store.
Is it just me? Do I suck at using styli? Haha. I couldn't get things to write correctly. It would always miss spots in my numbers and stuff. As if you're writing in pen and it is running out of ink.

I don't think any capacitive touch screen is accurate enough for any sort of drawing or designing. Just saying. Even if you could do that, it wont be really accurate.

I think the notion ink Adam creators mentioned that the device has that function but it may not be as precise as an actual wacom tablet. But thanks.

I dont know what exactly you mean but there are many drawing/sketching apps available in the market.
Try "any drawing pro 2.4"
I did not see another topic on this yet. Is anyone else losing their unsaved notes due to S Note crashing? It seems to happen most when I am switching between the three different functions.
Sent from my GT-N8013 using xda app-developers app
yes, crashing for me too
I am also seeing lots of crashes with S-Note. It happens frequently when I change from the text recognition tool to the pen tool and back. Have lost 1 hour of notes multiple times.
I was trying to get more proficient with S-Note last night and noticed this as well. In trying to do some copy and paste in split screen i kept crashing the app. Did a full shut down last night and thought i would try again today. Had not shut down my GN for over a week and thought that might have had somerhing to do with it.

I have never understood the appeal of the handwiring recognition.
It seems to me you can just type faster and more accurately. If your handwriting is good enough for the recognition software to work flawlessly why not just write?
For me it is a gimmick.

I have big hands. I can only type fast on full-size keyboards.The pen actually woks better than a keyboard for me. Also, I got used to a Microsoft natural keyboard. Mobile and laptop keyboards are not easy for me.
had similer problems you could try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1842226
I've been using my Note 10.1 at work frequently the past couple weeks and today I tried printing out some of my annotations on S-Note to an 8.5"× 11" size paper and the quality isn't quite up to par for me to use it professionally. Is there anyone that has been able to successfully print without any weird black pixels making it look hazy? I have been exporting my S-note files to pdf and printing them on Adobe Acrobat. Any help would be appreciated thanks!

What do you mean by weird pixels? I haven't tested printing that much.
Not sure if you can see it while viewing on your tablet,but its clear on my computer how pixilated it is.

S-note, unfortunately, seems to produce quite low resolution raster images. It would be much better if it saved data as vectors; even Windows Journal from 2002 did that. In other words, there's not much you can do other than upsampling. Here's your example that I've resized to 300 dpi at 8.5" wide (probably extreme, but illustrates the point). It's a little compressed because of xda's size restrictions, but you get the idea.
There are other apps on the market that save as vector... Papyrus, Quill, and StylusLabs Write come to mind. I seem to keep going back to S-note though, as the writing seems to be the most natural and it's just so integrated into the whole system.
I would just like to get the same functionality as S-Note. Its so easy to draw diagrams and I have a work template set up already. Can you recommend any apps that will allow me to recreate my work template and let me draw with ease?

Interesting. When I print , I make sure the PDF is set to "fit to page" which gives it a more realistic look, as I'm constantly printing formulas and notes out. This might help temporarily. I'm going to try quill when I get my new note from best buy (traded it for 16gb white)
Impressive app. Allows for the control of the Xbox360 on the Android phone. Very responsive as long as you have connected the phone and your XboX on the same wifi network, otherwise it's pretty laggy. Using IE on the XboX becomes much more useful in that you can easily scroll and navigate the browser using your Android phone's keyboard and pad app that allows you to scroll horizontally and vertically. Still playing around with it.

Okay so bear with me here. I'm trying to figure out a way to connect my Samsung SGH-I927 (Captivate Glide) to the Note 10.1 so I can use the physical keyboard to type with on the tablet. Is this possible in any way so I can use the tablet as a monitor and my phone as a keyboard?
Sent from my GT-N8013 using XDA Premium HD app
No you cannot do that as to recognize the phone drivers will be required which is not possible
Why dont you just buy a usb keyboard in that case a cheaper option or a bluetooth one
Oh okay, I was just wondering if it was possible. I wanted to find another way for people to type on the tablet without having to buy a new device. Thanks for the answer though.

Sv: Connecting a phone with the Note 10.1 in order to use the phone's keyboard?
There are apps to remotely control other Android devices, isn't it possible that such a solution will work? Since you can control the controlled device both with the actual device and with the device acting as a remote control, you should be able to use your tablet for everything and then just use your phone to write. I've not tried this though, if anything I would like to use my tablet keyboard to my SGS3 but since I can send sms using my tablet there's really no point to be honest.

You understand what I'm trying to achieve here right? It would be nice to be able to type on the tablet without having the virtual keyboard come up on the screen, using your phone as the keyboard for your tablet. (I'm assuming it's easier for most people to type faster on the phone rather than tablet). I'm not talking just sms, more as overall typing in every app, if possible.
Again, this is just a question which I'm hoping that we can find an alternative to using a bluetooth keyboard. It would be helpful for anyone who doesn't want to lug around more accessories for their tablet.

I think so! I'm sorry if I confused you with the talk about sms, that's just a sidetrack why I don't think many have this kind of suggestion.
However, my solution for you would be this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tournesol.tabletremote something like this, an app that allows you to remotely control another Android device including typing words (at least that's what the description tells). So, you use your tablet like you use to do and when you click on something where you wish to write you minimize the software keyboard on the tablet and use the phone instead.
I've not tried the app though, but there's a couple of different apps that do almost the same but in different ways and hopefully someone will do the trick.

No, it's okay, i just didn't want to be limited to sms .
I was looking at apps last night but it was late and didn't feel like running tests on different applications. I looked at that yesterday, I'm going to try it out later today. (still in bed at the moment since it's only 6:47 am). I also saw this app, and the interface seems basic. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...m=organic&utm_term=android+mouse+and+keyboard I feel like this could work also. The remote desktop by Kolakowski Damian doesn't let you control the tablet in the manner that you want to.

Well, there's a chance that you have to test a couple of different apps before you find someone that does what you want it to do and more importantly, in the way you want it to. But I can't see why you shouldn't be able to do it, I have the Unified Remote app to control my PC with my phone and typing works great even though I don't get any auto correction. After all, it's a quite simple feature and shouldn't involve too much data transfers that can cause lag if implemented correctly.

Tablet remote definitely works, but there's one major problem to it when you use the physical keyboard on the glide. If I wanted to enter special characters (colon, semicolon, apostrophes) it would not register on the tablet and only certain keys would hit. It works for the regular virtual keyboard on the phone.
If you want an alternative, smaller keyboard for easier typing, try out tablet remote. I'm sure there are more apps which I will look into and post on here.

I'm basically just guessing here, but I think that might be because you are not using the same ASCII codes on your OS as your app. In my opinion that shouldn't be a problem since it should just send the codes to the other device, but if it's converting it to text before sending it over there might be a problem. After all, the most common use for this app I suppose is typing in an URL or maybe search for a song, at least that's that I'm doing when remotely control another device.
If there's not any settings where to specify regions in the app, hopefully there's an app that supports US (?) keyboards.
