Page orientation in S-Note? - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
This could be a daft question, but how can I make the paper be in landscape orientation in S Note? I can turn the tablet, and the app rotates, but the paper is still portrait. Surely there is a way to make the paper landscape for long equations etc?
Also, while I'm here, is there a quicker way to scroll up and down the page than turning pen mode off, and cursor mode on, scrolling, then going back to pen mode? Hoping there is a hidden scroll bar or something.
Thanks
Matt

Landscape mode in S-Note will be possible after upgrading to Jelly Bean.

I think that's not possible now, since you can't create a custom template.
Anyway, if I remember well, I've seen that in the next JB release there will be a new template specifically designed for landscape mode.

Ah, Well that Is good to know. Frustrating that such a simple fundamental feature isn't present, but I suppose that's the price to pay for being an early adopter! Good to know they are improving the device.
Any tips on speedy scrolling? Shame there isn't a feature like double click on the pen button, do your scrolling, lift off the screen, and pen returns to pen functionality....or is there?

I don't understand. When I open S-Note and use a background with lines that go accross the page in landscape and turn my GNote 10.1 on it's end for portriat oreintation the lines turn and still go across the page. If there is any writting on the page it also rotates to the proper alignment.

I found some kind of a solutionton for thislandscape paper "problem". I rotate my note 10.1 so that the paper is in portrait mode, then i switch off the auto rotate function in the quick settings bar and than when i go back to my drawing i can rotate the screen in landscape and the paper stays in landscape mode...only problem is that so does the text but it doesn't bother me !
Sorry if my English isn' very good.

There is a landscape mode template that was added in S note with the last update. If you can not see it when you are viewing templates, rotate to portrait and you will see the landscape template, not sure why it is not visible in landscape view.

When I use the landscape template and rotate the GNote 10.1 then the screen changes to portrait and the page becomes just a small bar accross the screen. So I don't understand what the landscape template is supposed to be for.

Zoom to 100 % once you rotate in the landscape template then you will see a much wider place to write/draw or both! Some prefer the wider page, in portrait template you are not getting the true width, just zoomed .

Stumble upon your post while finding landscape mode for s note.
Not sure you already found a solution for scrolling,.. you can do scrolling by putting two fingers (like when you wanna do zooming for photos) on the screen, instead of moving the two fingers in opposite direction (for zooming), you need to move the two fingers together to down or up for scrolling.
Hope this helps.

Picture Album Auto rotate

Being that we have Auto rotate for the web Browser via JF 1.41 and System Auto rotate via DroidSans ......... is it possible to make the Picture Album Auto rotate as well, because even thought the DroidSans Tweak tool allows some instance of Auto rotate it seems to be leaving out the Photo Album......... is there a way to make this Happen.
Yeh Mon ... One Love.... Irie ... In other words Thank You
I second this request. Every other app seems to handle the autorotation automatically, and the picture app could be one of the most useful ways to use autorotation, given that pictures are often taken in both landscape and portrait mode.
Thank you to any who can pull this off.
It would be nice to add the multi-touch zooming to the picture app too...
Lol yes that would be cool. Hope some skillful person sees this
and add the *patented* iphone swipe across to move to the next picture (instead of having to hit the buttons...)
i just use the photo album in astro it auto rotates by itslef

This is really what i want,and of course auto-rotate would be a nice add on as well.
WOw, with this much interest I wonder why this was never addressed before ...... and we dont have to do anything like the iPhone there is a lot more was to do Gestures, such as double tapping making a clockwise circle on the area of the pic you might want to zoom in one and a Counter Clock wise circle to Zoom out etc etc .....

Has anyone else seen the HP touchscreen computers? Or that microsoft tabletop one? And we swipe to move our Google maps. Giving Apple a patent on that seems really strange, especially since someone, I don't remember who, was demonstrating multi touch two or three years ago on a device which wasn't related to Apple in any way. (I wish I could remember where I saw that).
Anyway, I agree, I'd love to see multitouch and autorotate for our photos!

Apple patented it on mobile devices i think.
Another nice thing on the iPhone photo app is a double tap to automatically make it fill the screen. Heck, pinch zoom would be nice but barring that I'd just like the double-tap feature.
I add myself at the list of this requester... I love to see multitouch zoom and autorotate on the Photo gallery application!
I add this request and will be working on a basic photo application as well. I don't really care about Apple. These features are so easy to implement.
I think a lot people are confused on what apple has patented. Engadget has a good analysis here:

look up the gizmodo articles. they've had a bunch on apple patents and the palm pre recently.
the one i read about said that you only infringe on one of apple's patents if you had BOTH the swipe-to-zoom and the browser lock-to-x or y axis scrolling together.
right now the g1 has (oficially) the scrolling where if you only move it down it locks to the y axis and moves down only. same with left right. and if u start moving diagonal ur free to do whatever. the g1 doesnt infringe on THAT patent because it DOESNT also have the swipe-to-get to next picture.
I read one of those articles this morning. I wonder what will happen between Apple and Palm? I expect they will work it out between themselves, or it will be a mess.
Ill throw my hat in here too
I understand, though, that work here isnt paid for, so I understand if a dev decides NOT to work on it... I just hope one does

multitouch onscreen-keyboard

I have played around with some of the multitouch apps (browser, maps, image-gallery examples) and found them quite impressive. My question is, can the onscreen-keyboard be hacked to allow for multitoutch?
i know the keyboard is pretty useful but it would be better to have the multi touch features. The screen supports multutouch and it is a bit stupid that apple can copyright multitouch. alot of my friends mock the android cos it doesnt have mutitouch (stupid iphone snobs)
so, is it possible?
I'm sure it would be possible. There honestly should be multi-touch support for the virtual keyboard. Not to display 2 letters at a time obviously, but to just que the second letter to allow for faster typing rather than have it skip between 2 letters. The iphone does have multi-touch support on its VK for the same exact reason of faster typing.

so where are you seeing all of this stuff with the multi touch?
Yeah, I don't think multi-touch is available for Maps and Gallery. If I'm wrong could someone shoot me a link please?
Multi touch is only available in the browser. There were some demos you could install on your phone of the maps and gallery but they were just demos not the actual program.
As for the VK not sure why you would need it. Maybe type faster but other than that I see no need for it.
He's talking about the multitouch examples here: http://lukehutch.wordpress.com/2009/01/25/get-multi-touch-support-on-your-t-mobile-g1-today/
I don't really see what all the hype is about multi-touch. The only reason I can see it being useful is for games, and maybe if a shift key was inserted in the VK. Other than that, I feel it just becomes more difficult. Sure, it's cool technology, but isn't it easier to zoom using your thumb, holding the phone with one hand, than having to use two fingers or two separate hands? I've been running JF builds for months which multi-touch, and barely use it at all.
Multi touch allows for faster typing. Especially if you're typing in landscape mode with your thumbs going at it. I've noticed it would skip letters for me on various occasions because of it not registering hits that are too close to each other.
Why wouldn't you just open the keyboard...
I don't get it
I agree about typing. I also think the iphone's way of zooming in/out on the map is easier, too. It is all preference, but I really want the multi-touch map. Having it as an option would satisfy the masses.
To be honest, after the novelty of having multitouch on the browser wore off I found myself using the "+" and "-" buttons on the screen anyway!

Personally, I hate those freaking on-screen zoom in/out buttons with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns. They're always popping up in the way of links that are placed at the bottom of web pages and I constantly hit that stupid button in the bottom right of the screen, opening that useless panning box. IMHO on-screen menus should never be placed in front of content. Am I the only one that thinks that's completely retarded?
multitouch
frankly i like the circle zoom!! i thnk tht wud b more convinient then the multi touch unless ur in landscape mode for some reason or another but yes i wud really like multi touch vk!! i need to b able to type faster but i still use my hardware keyboard for fast typing!
i prefer using two fingers to zoom in and out. I feel that by using two fingers you see where you are zooming and dont have a finger in the way. As multitouch is enabled in the rom, using two fingers emulates a finger press in between them, which can get quite enoying if you type fast ir knock a key by accident, u get a random key in the middle.
I know its not essential but these little things give it a nicer feel.

It's a matter of personal preference. Is that not why we like open source so much? Some of us don't want to open keyboards every 4 seconds. Some of us have magic's sans hardware keyboards.
I for one welcome any improvements that I may or not use but in the end they are improvements.

Because, I text a LOT. Between work and twitter and friends... I'm texting all the time. sometimes it's just faster to start typing.. plus I'm sure it's better on the hinges to not keep snapping the thing open every minute.

Best Landscape App Help

Hi There.
I am currently using TX Total Landscape and I have a few problems.
When in Manilla on the contacts tab, the contacts do not fill the screen but remain in a 3 column config to one side of the screen.
Music and Photo&video tabs do not act as they usually do when turned into landscape (they remain up-down scrolling instead of changing to their usual side-side scrolling that they have without the mod)
Is there a landscape mod/app that is better. in other words that you can select which tabs will rotate and which will act as normal.
Thanks in advance.

Try gyrator its free works great just google it.

Sketchbook pro help

Hello i wanted to know if there is a way to turn on pressure sesitivity on this app cant find it in the settings and when i rest my palm on the screen it zooms in thanks

Pressure Sensitivity is built in, you don't have to do anything.
However, it is only applicable on certain brushes, maybe you have tried it on ones not supported.
As to rejecting your palm, use a coaster, mouse mat or similar. Place the coaster, mouse mat etc on the screen and rest your palm on that. You can then let the pen touch the screen as the mat does not register a touch.
Probably smarter to just use a glove..

I find gloves to be cumbersome, you don't get the right feel of the pen, plus occasionally you need to use your fingers.

Fingers are open.
Someone was saying sketchbook mobile got updated to include a pen only function. Sketchbook pro will likely receive that feature in the next update.
Under the brush option menu (the middle icon in the top bar--shaped like a brush) once you have the pallets open, there's a settings icon (three sliders), under this, you can change the min/max values for opacity and size. There you can change values for any brush you have selected from the left tool bar.

Ah, that is true too, I've just been stretching my shirt to cover the bottom of my hand.. I don't like coasters because it gets in the way, but yes, gloves that cover all the way are annoying too because you can't feel the stylus.
I believe there was an older version where you had to enable it manually, the current version has it enabled by default. In my opinion while rich in features sketchbook pro is not that good, mainly no palm rejection, and no custom size canvas and some other things, also the spen seems to be not that accurate in SKB, if you are into drawing I would recommend LayerPaint app, very nice app, very powerful yet quite simple.

Question [TB-Q706F] Rotate screen in desktop mode.

Is it possible to flip the screen or rotate to portrait in desktop mode? I've tried apps that control rotation and i've tried via ADB but nothing worked.

Nope. That's why its desktop mode. Switch it off and rotate freely
That's too bad. I find portrait mode more useful when watching some videos and still doing some browsing or emails.
Video on the top in 16:9 and nice neatry square window below. And some floating windows for little things.
But i guess it's their way or the highway.
And on my work pc I have 4 displays 3 of them in portrait mode. So desktop isn't synonymous with landscape.
He'll I used to have my CRT back in the day.
4:3 in portrait was nice for writing thesis with lots of equations to keep all in view.

Unfortunately they didnt think programmers couldn't benefit of it (that's why i would like the rotation on desktop mode too :/), anyway, maybe they could add that on future updates.
It's a shame that such uses are not taken care of. It's a great piece of hardware. Both for work and entertainment. I just wish there was a bit more flexibility when it comes to its use.
But at least in next update the touchpad on the dedicated keyboard should start functioning properly in portrait mode.
But there are a lot of tiny things that should have been caught in QA.
I hope as the time goes by there will be more allowances for more flexible use.
