I would like to get everyone's reviews on the various apps available to be used with the s pen.
S note - Great - pen operation is very smooth indeed under ICS - seems better than I remember.
Seems pretty easy to add images etc -so it is worth upgrading to this IF you use these apps alot - if you don't then stick with ICS Stunner or similar.
My story - not sure really - is it me or does it only work to other people with notes? I can't send things to anyone?

I fell in love with Touchscreen Tune for Note.
Allows you to calibrate spen offsets for deadly accurate use. Can't put my spen down now
Lecturenotes is a killer imho...
I find the s apps a little clumsy for sketching but lecturenotes has a really nice pencil sketch kinda feel (quill is great too on this front) and gives amazing customization and allows for image import and the like... Well worth the price and works with the aosp roms just as nice
Just my 2 cents as I spent a lot of time looking for the right app for me

Hi guys!
I got my Note yesterday and after I've upgrade it to the new Android version I've got the new SNote as well and I'm not a fan! My palm is accidentally zooming when I rest it against the screen in a way the previous one didn't and the buttons at the top bar was much more intuitive to me.
Any other with the same problem and maybe a solution? I am open to new better apps as well, I've tried LectureNotes but as an engineering student I'm really in to the SNote shape/function/search the web functionality and I have not seen any app that's anywhere near SNote considering that.
Thanks in advice!

You can disable hand writing so only the s pen is activated, the button can be located at the lower right side of the screen just right of the add page button. The symbol is a hand. Hope this help

Thanks! That was the first thing I did, but the zoom is still active at least when the pen isn't near (14mm/~1 inch or what it might be) and in reality I don't have the pen that close to the screen at all times. The strange thing is that I didn't have these problems with the previous model, maybe they changed it in some way when they added the "pinch to delete page" functionality? And besides I liked the little arrow that completely minimized the toolbar and gave me a blank screen to write on which have now mysteriously disappeared.
I think there is an apk file with the previous version somewhere but even though I've been Google it for the last hour I can't find one! Anyone who has it on their tablet?

Hats the new Snote app. I liked the fact that the menus would hide to increase size of the page for writing, and switching from pen to eraser was jn one place on the right. All gone.

hi, i gt the same problem, eng student too, apparently alot of users have same problem, its been around before we got the update in uk, since aug 2012 as far as i know, i tried many apps, paperus might be a gd one for us but it aint as good as s note, i emailed samsung and i think if alot of users does so something might happen to improve it, or if any devs could jus take the zooming option out,
would you mind emailing samsung so that they could get a massive user feed back.

Exactly, to me the ideal is to have a blank piece of paper and be able to put the tools needed (maybe different pens and the function/shape thing) as floating boxes just like you do at CAD programs etc. SNote got just that, and to be honest SNote was a huge part of why I bought this tablet in the first place. Now it's kinda useless though...

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one having troubles or disliking the new SNote, the more that have problems the faster a solution will appear I hope. I have actually only tested LN besides SNote, mostly because LN is great in any way but SNote it isn't. It doesn't have the mathematical function recognizer nor the shape recognizer and just doesn't seems to work as well with the rest of the system. Like the "screenshot, drag and drop" that works like a charm in SNote where I can look something up at Wolfram and paste it to my notes. It does have some advantages over SNote though, I feel the pure writing is better on LN and it have for example the really simple but so useful feature of "select part/text and move it", more easy to customize background etc.
Not at all! I thought of the same thing myself, I just wanted to check if I was the only one having this problems. But the easiest and by far fastest way to deal with it would of course be if anyone had an Old SNote apk file to install. Adding a "lock zoom and pan" option won't solve the problem with the whole new version suck, and I think getting them to get back to previous versions will be difficult.

That's actually not a bug I think, you can adjust the screen brightness in many apps individually. I'm not quite sure where in the new SNote though..
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app
I got a reply from Samsung Sweden today where they apologized and told me that I, for a cost, could get the previous SNote version if I got the tablet to a service center. On one hand I think it's great that they actually give the customers the option of having the previous version back but on the other I think it's rubbish having to pay for it when it it because the new one is working like ****. There might be a chance that the downgrade will just be a couple of bucks but I'm afraid it won't.
I'm going to reply to Samsung once again, this time with a movie I've made that illustrates the problem with the shape and math identifier. To be continued..

This is obviously a solution however to me this isn't an option since I think everything from the general flow to the multiscreen capabilities is that much better than on ICS and even though SNote is a big part of this tablet LectureNotes is not far behind. But don't get me wrong, I wanna have both of them working!
I made a simple video that illustrates the problem with the shape and math identifier, even though that's just a small bit of the problem with the new SNote feel free to use it for example in contact with Samsung!

Thanks for your answer!
No it's not, I've got 4.1.1 and have the version 5r16958FV03 so it's not even close. However, I don't think everyone's got these strange problems and I don't have them all the time either. But it's way too often to be acceptable, especially since the precious one didn't have any problems what so ever (as far as I could tell).
Have you noticed any other bugs or are your version of SNote a stable functional one?
Another thing I noticed now when I looked up the version of SNote is that I have not one but two "programs" named SNote, the main one of 8.8MB and another one of about a quarter of a MB. Is it possible that the smaller one is the upgrade? I couldn't disable it in any way unfortunately, and when I forced it to stop nothing happened in SNote but that might be because it started up again.

Got a question.
I got the update for 4.1.2 on my 8013. Everything is sweet. But i thought we was suppose to get the ink effect feature like i have on my note II and also where can i change my toggle buttons? i know where all this is on my note II but have they left it off this one?
Thx Wicklet
Anyone know or was i missinformed? Bump
Looked it up its pretty cool but ultimatly not the end of the world if its missing
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda app-developers app
There are many features that note 2 has which for some reason Samsung has decided not to include in note 10.1 so nothing we can do
I have found an alternative on the forums that are flashable and do give you the ink effec, might want to give it a look see if it's something you are interested in.
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda app-developers app
Is there any practical use for this feature?
For the ink effect not really other than being kinda neat. Something to show off what ur tablet can do that others cant. But i do like the option of being able to turn off and move my toggles around. Thats a handy feature. I just had read in a couple of places that these was in this update as well. So was just asking to see if i had missed them. Thx for the replies.
Hi guys, i am on stock ROM, not rooted, because i use the tablet for college, so basicly for work and not playing around
I gfinally got the JB update about 1.5 months ago and ever since then i got this bug that the palm rejection doesnt work at all
I use quill to write insted on paper, and everytime i lay my hand down it recognises it as a qick double tab which lets it zoom out
Anybody knowing what could have happend, what i shall do now (i want to prevent that i have to send it in, cus it takes quite a while and i need it every day), i am also ready to root it (got root experience of rooting htc desire z, htc mytouch 4g slide and a galaxy s1) but if i do this, has anyone a good stable and kinda stock-close ROM where palm rejection and just everything else works...i even wouldnt mind going back to ICS if i have to

Obviously the tablet will still detect your palm in an app like that no matter what or else the touch screen wouldn't work right..lol. Rooting/custom rom will not solve your issues. I suggest you go back to ICS if it really is better. For me, I see no difference. Good luck.

The palm is detected as 2-3 fingers, so if i lay it down it is as if i would make a fast double tab, which leads on quill to zooming out
I got this bug since the official JB update, on ICS it was just fine
So, basicly i ask if anyone else is experincing this with the official update, or maybe it is just an update failure for me
Also if no one has those problems after rooting, i may consider doing so, but i dont want to go through all the ROMs here cus of time issue :/

I don't use quill I use papyrus and it doesn't do that for me. Cyanogenmod would be the best bet if you wanted to try a custom rom. The other roms are very similar to what you have already and won't help. Rooting and flashing on this tab is easy if you say you're so experienced already. No bootloader to unlock or anything on Samsung.

Root doesnt have a whole lot to do with it. I use quill as well and dont have that problem but I'm used to laying the PEN down on the page or at least close to the screen first and then rest my palm on the screen.
The way it works is the screen detects finger/capacitive touch first and then detects the pen. If you touch the pen on the screen or close to the screen first, it will ignore any other touches.
Personally I prefer quill for jotting down quick notes or calculations, and then I use lecturenotes for real notes pages. In quill, I found the doubletap zoom and 2finger zoom unreliable regardless so I turned that off. When I want to zoom or move the page, I just click the button to zoom/move the page.
Hope that helps.

U have a really big problem, since i use my note10 for taking notes as well at school, i can understand how damn annoying it could be if it register palm.
about the rom, i would suggest u to use this:
[ROM][N8000]::::: X-Note Zero Edition Build 1 [MC5]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236328
it removes alot of useless stuf (Snote,S calendar, samsung apps etc) f. Rom is alot faster than the stock rom, nd alot smoother aswell.
U can still flash snote if u like (link in the roms thread) but papyrus nd lecturenotes do better job than Snote.
ps. for calendar+memos u can try Franklinplanner, simply awesome app, and as a launcher i recommend apex launcher ^^,
hope i helped

They say a picture says more than a thousand words.
Custom gestures. A swipe to the left from the bottom of the right side takes me back to the previous app. Vice versa on the bottom left side. Swiping up from the bottom of the screen equals a push of the home button (I hate that physical button). Finally swiping left along the bottom of the screen brings up the multitasking menu.
wow. this gmd app is so awesome, i just bought it. you know with s4, it's annoying to open recent tasks by holding the home button, and the back button placement on the right is annoying too since i always use my phone left handed.
now with this custom gesture, i can swipe up from the bottom center to open recent tasks, and swipe right from left center of the screen to simulate back button and its really nice, it feels like you're swiping a page to go back.
I'm an ex nexus 4 user, I hate hardware keys. So I add this line to the build prop qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 and it adds the nav bar like this
But it only works on aosp and i9505g ROMs. Don't do it on a touchwiz ROM as Samsung ripped the code out and all it will do is cause a fc of the sytemUI.apk but thought it might help as you always have recents avalible without effecting any app that uses the gestures you set it as.
