S note just crashed and lost my 2 hours assignment. Did I make a mistake in trusting Sammy? Is auto-save that hard to implement? And is it really hard to implement a auto document recovery system?
if it is really important.. y dont you press the "save" button time to time? it's just located at top of the screen

I have had many crashes similar to this using Snotes, Tapatalk, and Polaris office. The screen went blank and about 5-6 seconds later it returned to the lock screen with the app closed without any warning?
It sadly takes 5 seconds to save every time I press it

Hi all,
I had also a few crashes while taking notes in study lessons. It is really frustrating and I hope there will be more improvement specially on stability.

I just got on here to look for this very subject. I use s note for work. I heavily use the shape recognition and handwriting to text function. Ever since the recent software update, s note has been "crashing" just a minute or two into using the handwriting to text function. It starts by not converting text I have just written, then after I wait 20 seconds or so, everything I have written by hand all of a sudden gets converted to text and then it freezes. It won't let me erase, close, or anything. Sometimes I can't even get it to force close by going into the application settings and I have to restart the tablet. This is very frustrating seeing as how I use this at work constantly and this was a huge part of what drew me to the tablet

I also have this problem.
When I try to write something with handwriting to text it works until I have around 20 words written. Then the whole application hangs up and ends in the startscreen...
Does Samsung know the problem?
Edit:
Could it be that this is caused by rooting the device?!?
I got also a lot of crashes in the s note app and my device isn't rooted. For everyday use at university I prefer lecture Notes to S-notes a lot more and on top there was not a single crash since I make use of it. I got my crashes when I wanted to make use of the 'Handwrite-to text'-function.

No. It offers certain tools like draw a line, circle, rectangle (filled, unfilled). So it CAN draw forms 'indirectly' but not as easy as in the s notes app.

Has anyone figured out what causes the keyboard to stop working in messaging?
I can hit the first letter, and the keyboard will bring up predictions for what I press, but it won't enter any text into the field.
To fix it, I have to back out of the conversation and return to it to be able to type again.
It does it with all keyboards, too.
I can't exactly figure out what causes it to stop working. Before I thought it was locking the phone in the middle of typing, because it would sometimes be unresponsive after unlocking, but I've also had it be fine after unlocking, and I've also had it stop responding in the middle of me typing.
That's the only issue I've had with AKOP, apart from the wifi toggling thing, but that's a well-known bug.

Ive noticed recently that my browser and youtube apps seem to minimize and then open again. I dont see the homescreen, the app kinda shrinks like it was closed, and then expands from the top. Im really not sure what has caused this. This only started happening recently and i have no idea what could be causing it. The only thing ive installed recently was the humble bundle games.
When it reopens, it remembers what i was typing in the youtube comment, but the video is stopped and i usually need to rewatch the ad before i can skip back to the video position. Really annoying on the bigger videos.
Other problems im having is i get random lines flicker across the screen, and almost looks like its an 'extra' line that shifts the image up by one pixel to make room for it.
And then i noticed on the asus keyboard there is a spot on the spacebar that doesnt work. It makes the typing sound when clicked, but no space character is typed. Its on the far right side of the spacebar. It was extremely frustrating until i discovered why half the things i typed had no space even though i was SURE i hit the spacebar.
I'm having the same issue, I posted a thread about it over in the Q&A section, but still haven't heard of any workarounds... but i will at the least confirm i have the same issues

I can also confirm I am having the same issues, all of them.
Especially prevalent is the apps minimizing then opening themselves up again. I've been trying to figure out if an app is doing it but I don't think this is the case. I have also installed Humble Bundle apps though, it could potentially be that.
The keyboard's spacebar seems to just be bad hardware design. I miss a lot of spaces as well and have slowly migrated my thumb to the center of the spacebar because of it.

The apps re-opening issue has vanished for me, likely due to an app update im guessing. I didnt change anything except update some apps, though im not sure which one it could have been.
I still have the lines flickering, and the right end of the space bar on the virtual keyboard still doesnt work. Etc. Though, these problems seem more common so im guessing/hoping they will get fixed.

So, after getting my Note in August, and using it for email and Internet, I've finally been checking out what this thing can really do. Supposedly, I can switch pens (after creating pre-set pens in S Note) by pressing the S Pen button. Well, sometimes this works. Mostly, it doesn't. I've tried pressing hard, pressing softly, holding the button down, close to the screen, on the screen, away from the screen. Doesn't matter.
When it does work, which is maybe one out of every thirty tries, I can't figure out why. And then, once it's switched to the next pen, that's it. I can't switch again.
Anyone else experience this? Might this be something I can adjust by turnig the little screws under the button?
Update: Tried this on a coworker's Note 10.1, and he's having the same issue. Even tried switching S Pens. No luck.
Just another bug in the new SNote, if this is the only flaw you noticed consider yourself lucky! I have the same problem in the main app as well, the toggle between pen and rubber in the small mode is working great though. Does that work on your device (hold the button and double-tap the screen to get up the small SNote)? If it does, at least you know it's not you nor the hardware.

As far as I can remember toggle between pen and rubber is supported even in ICS SNote but not toggle between your favorite pens. Ie, just like it works at the small quick note app now. But I'm not sure to be honest, that wasn't a feature I learned to use since I only had that SNote a couple of days before upgrading to JB.
I'm sure you already know this, but if you haven't consider giving LectureNotes a try!

Yeah, I've checked out Lecture Notes. Even tried Evernote for a few days and was pretty excited about it. But I mainly use S Note for journaling, not note taking. And the ability to slap a picture, video, or map in there on-the-fly, is pretty awesome. I have a three year old, and you just can't beat how easy it is to stick a video or audio recording in your note.
If I was using this in school, I may feel differently.

I have to agree with you, SNote is a quite awesome app! It's to bad they have messed it up in the last version, however I think it's just a matter of time before there'll be an update that solves most problems including the one you experience with the button.

So weird... this is working for me now. I think maybe my pens were so close to each other that I didn't realize it was working. I don't know. But I went in and created 7 pens, of the colors of the rainbow, so I could be sure I knew if they were switching. And they do. And when it reaches the end of the list, it switches to the eraser, then starts at the beginning of the list again.

Nope, that's not the problem here since it's working just fine at the quick note app even if it's just toggle between pen and rubber in that particular version. So the pen nor the handling it aint, it's just an SNote bug that seems to appear in some versions of SNote.

hold back to get rid of it.
it's multiwindows ported from the note2, I find it completely useless and hate it as I use longpress back to kill apps, I can use menu button instead, but i will NEVER use the "feature" on this phone.
it sucks that rom devs are including it in ROMs, I'd much rather not see it at all or just have it as an add-on instead of forcing it on us.
I honestly never feel the need to have 2 apps open taking up half the screen each, I can just do one at a time, but I can see how it could be nice on the note II with the s-pen.
I did order a bunch of cheapy pens that work on the phone its pretty cool, but the multiwindow feature, garbage.
Is there any widget that allows you to take hand written notes directly on home screen? I mean without opening the main app by pressing the widget.
Sv: Hand written notes on home screen
When I got my device I had an idea to use a picture of an old blackboard as a wallpaper and somehow be able to draw on the blackboard itself preferably with pressure sensitive and chalk (I think is the correct word for blackboard "pens") like pens. Combined with custom, old school icons and widgets I think it would be awesome.
However, without a root it's not possible and I'm note sure if it is even with root. And more importantly, I haven't found anything close to similar so I assume that I have to learn java or whatever one are using for such features again to implement this if I'm rooting my device in the future.
The closest thing I got though, even though I didn't try it is this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mattm.whiteboard that seems to do basically what you're looking for.
Edit: Actually, the pro version seems to be more what you're searching for now. It's been a while since I actually checked myself.

sphere314 said:
I'd suggest using (or trying) Snap Pad (free or ad-free).
It's not a floating note but rather a pad that comes out when you drag the snap region (that normally stays invisible).
So it can be opened and resized anytime (without having to launch it) and also while using other apps. It's also possible to adjust the pad's opacity and make it semi-transparent.
Pros
It's designed for the S-Pen (so supports pressure sensitivity and changing from pen to eraser with the button)
It's very simple
Cons
No Undo-Redo function
You have a single page to use

That's quite strange. I've checked my application manager and my Snap Pad (v. 1.1) takes 6.48MB of which 4.65MB are for the app and 1.83MB for data (a simple written note).
(But surely, if you have painted the whole Sistine Chapel on the pad, your data memory would be greater than mine... )

Ink Over Apps
I've just found out Ink Over Apps, that can be potentially interesting for the GNote 10.1.
There's no free version but the price (€0.76 or about $1) is affordable.
It supports the S-Pen and can be used to make quick annotations in the home screen or to make annotations inside some other app (browser, documents).
I hope the developer will improve this app because, after a quick testing, I think there's still something to do.
Anyway, it's a very interesting idea.
