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)

OK I tryed many different apps for an invintory but I keep going back to my excel spread sheet. My question is there any way to embed a picture taken straight from the xoom cammera in a designated cell? Or dose Anyone have some thing that might work better?
Thanks

Have you tried the Inventory Droid app? It seems that you can imbed pictures in that.
I have not tried to imbed a picture in Excel on the Xoom. I might try and see what happens. I'll let you know if I have any luck.
I have tried it and it just didn't work for what I need. The spread sheet is robust enufgh to do what i need I can get a pictures in the sheet using the comments tab but if I can simply hit add picture it would make things so much simpler.

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.

This app covers everything you need to know in 10th grade world history regarding Buddhism, Confucianism, and Hinduism. This application makes it easy to learn and memorize things about these religions, it includes swipe flash cards, informational videos streamed from the Internet made by "Crash Course World History", and it has a quiz that asks questions at random. Please rate generously as I am releasing this app to everyone for free. Keep in mind that most of the images used for this application were found off the Internet. Also this app includes two videos pulled from the Youtube channel; "Crash Course World History". At the moment this app only covers Buddhism, Confucianism, and Hinduism, but in the future I am planning to add more.

Just tried it. Half of your pictures are cropped in such a way that you can't even see what it says. It's not very intuitive either. There's no buttons to specifically change the pictures back and forth. All you can do is touch the screen and go to the next picture.

Hello, why is it when using the shape feature on S note it works fine... until I undo something then whenever I try to do a new shape it gets rid of the other shapes I've drawn and so on which is really annoying, is this something I'm doing or is it a bug?

I've noticed the same thing happening. I found that you can get around this if you will save the note you are working on immediately after completing the undo function. Then you can continue drawing new shapes without erasing the other shapes you want to keep.
So just a bug then? That's annoying..

I have the same problem as well, and the most annoying thing is that the previous ICS version of SNote worked like a charm!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2081866
I started a thread about it a couple of weeks ago, we haven't come up with a solution yet however I hope that it's not too far away. Please contact Samsung, the more of us that do this the more likely they are to realize there is a big problem with SNote and make an update (or in this case maybe a downgrade). I've made a video that illustrates my problems and posted it in the thread mentioned, feel free to use it in contact with Samsung.

Very annoying I will definitely be getting in contact with them! Do you also have a bug with the music play, it wont go to the next song it will just stop and you have to start it manually again, also when I have it playing through my Xbox it will stop and the tablet and Xbox will display different songs?

Actually I haven't used the tablet for music yet and I'm not sure I will. However what you describe sounds more like you have some setting wrong, try press the button at the right hand side of the play/next track etc (it might say something with A). Or simply get a better music app I would love to do so with SNote, but there really is no good option with the math and shape functionality. LectureNotes is so much better in so many ways, but having the ability to use Snote for some task sure would be great sometimes!

No its not that I've got it to repeat the playlist if it ends, I love the music app (well when it works) it was perfect before the update, hopefully Samsung get on making a bug fix update for all the little problems! I've not tried lecture notes, I will try it out

I have had the same problem with snote I will use you video and send to Samsung I have already send them a msg but with you video I hope this will be fixed soon.
I use snote for collage and the fact the drawing cant be used is a big problem.
The music and video app I have no problem with n both advance to the next track.

I'm glad to hear that!
Have you tried LectureNotes? I was a little skeptical when I first tried it, I was just comparing it with SNote and that functionality. But actually, after using it for quite a while and testing and configurating the app I prefer it so much over SNote for lecture notes. LectureNotes is best for taking lecture notes, who would have guessed that? Sure it's lacking those cool shape features the SNote has but actually I think the simple MS Paint style that LectureNotes is using is much more accurate when actually using it and not just testing it. And just such a simple feature that you take for granted, to move the text and stuff after inserting them is something LectureNotes has and SNote simply doesn't.
But the really great thing is that you don't really have to choose between them. You can use LectureNotes for everything but the shape and math stuff (when it gets to writing equations, SNote is in a class of its own) where you use SNote and then Lasso around the item with pen button down after which you press the LectureNotes icon. The screenshot (or whatever it is) is then transfered straight to the desired page in LectureNotes!
Hope this helped some people that think that the new SNote stinks and are looking for alternative until Samsung got this sorted out

By fast, i mean faster at turning pages. Sometimes ezpdf is really slow on page turns.

Polaris Office reads PDFs quicker than ezpdf and also works with multiview
Adobe reader is pretty good now.

I have to agree with you! The only advantage I can see with ez is the annotation functions that are superior to Adobe. But the fact that I use adobe at my PC makes the Adobe app better since there's never a problem when viewing an annotated pfd.
But to answer your questions, isn't there any way to turn off that stupid flipping page animation in ez?

Thanks for the replies. In ezpdf, I checked and you can disable the page flip animation. You can also turn on pre rendering and that speeds things up a bit too.

I haven't used the app for a while but besides that I don't see any way of speeding up the process. Or well, checking your background applications and make sure no unnecessary is running is of course something you might want to check every time an app isn't working properly. When using LectureNotes I feel that the speed of the pen recognition is very related to the amount of free RAM.
