Hi,
I use my Tab to take notes and do design sketches quite a lot.
I've been using Evernote on my Galaxy Tab 10.1, Galaxy Nexus Prime and on my Laptop all this time very successfully. Evernote has all the features I need and I have found it to be very useful so far.
However, recently, I got myself a Note 10.1 and I love using the S Pen to write down notes and do drawings/sketches etc. And I use S Note as well for this.
I need to be able to access my notes, etc from any of my devices and be able to edit/save them as necessary (which I can do easily with Evernote). Unfortunately, Evernote does not support the S Pen and all the advantages it brings with it (S Pen).
So, is there any way of achieving the same level versatility that Evernote offers with S Note as well? Or, is there some other app that I could use to take down notes using the S Pen and then be able to use it from anywhere?
I suppose one solution would be to use a Word Doc and share it over Dropbox. However, for me, that doesn;t offer the same note taking experience as Evernote or S Note.
Highly appreciate any feedback on this.
Regards,
i take notes with s note or lecture note and then export them to evernote..I dont think there is a better app for organize notes, then evernote

I have a server that I can ssh/sftp files to and I use foldersync lite to backup my SNotes directory automatically. I also save critical notes as pdf files and also back them up to the same server and then pull the notes to my pc and other devise.

Just attempted to sync my S-Notes with Evernote. It says they have synced correctly.
However, when I open the Evernote app nothing is showing up and there is a message at the bottom left stating that syncing has failed. I tried adding a folder directly to Evernote from within the app and it crashed.
Any ideas?
Hmmm, ok well the syncing is showing up on my laptop version of Evernote but not my tablet version. odd.
Also, apparently it is syncing them as .snb files which Evernote apparently cannot display. What am doing wrong here? Why is it exporting my S-Notes to Evernote in an unreadable format?

I would consider dropping OneNote and moving to Evernote if you could get me the anser to that. I tried the same thing, but it does me no good to have my notes synced to Evernote if I cannot open them on my PC and see them on my evernote app on the tablet.

From what I have been reading online S-Notes created using the Note appear perfectly within Evernote. I am assuming those notes have the same file format and extension. Weird wonder what the issue is.
I can't seem to find a thing online discussing the SGN10 and Evernote.
** Same thing with Google Docs. It doesn't recognize the file extension and can't display the content.
I am trying to figure out why Samsung wants us to sync our notes to two services which cannot read the format?????

No one else is having Evernote issues? As far as I can tell Evernote doesn't recognize the snb file extension and won't display s notes content. This is very odd since s note recommends syncing with something that has no idea what it is.
I've seen videos of people syncing their Note with Evernote and it works fine.

I'm having the same issue. Just testing out the Galaxy Note 10.1 to see how it fits into my workflow and wondering if I can happily replace the keyboard/shell design of my Transformer. Part of that is notes sync which I was trilled to see but I cannot open them in Evernote. Anyone know how to open one of these snb files in Evernote?

Unfortunately not possible. You can store them in Evernote and use that to sync with other devices which support .snb but you cannot view them. Have no idea why Samsung chose the very obscure .snb standard for Snotes. This makes Dropbox a better solution because youc an sync using DropSync for the Market.
My guess is that Samsung is forching us to own other Samsung devices which can read their very specialized .snb files.

Bummer. Are there any S-pen enabled note applications that can sync to Evernote (or via Dropsync) and open on the PC? I know I can always export them, but would prefer a solution that can regularly update notes as I write them for easy reference rather than exporting each time I make changes/additions.
I would also like that solution.

Sync: Had that for a day, too, on both the Talley and phone, looks like something was broken somewhere. Works again now.
snb: these are basically zip files with JPEG pictures for each page and some additional info in xml files. Rename to .zip and open as usual. Of course, this doesn't give you notebooks, but the info is there, and you could even make pdfs of them.

If you are going to do all that you may as well just save .PDF copies from Snotes.

Lol. True. Wasn't thought as a work solution, but a disaster recovery, e.g. in case of a lost phone/tablet. You can then still get at your notes, until you have snote available again, without having to export each note after each change...

as disaster backup i recommend Samsung Kies Smemo and Snote backup. Works perfectly and is fully restorable if you need it.
I do this once a week.

I guess that's the same case for Asus and their supernote. It's also in snb format and I tried copying the file into my Note10.1. It apparently is encrypted or something. Requires a password
the whole GALAXY to NOTE about...counting down from 10 to 1.
I have been getting the 'sync failed' message since at least yesterday (hadn't paid attention to it before then). Was there a fix for that, or did it work itself out?

It would be the killer app for me if it exists... that is the app that has all three components here:
1) Handwritten notes w/ notebooks and/or page tagging
2) Support for S-Pen and ability to use an S-Pen only input mode.
3) Sync to PC (or use dropbox/Evernote to sync) and be able to view notes on the PC. I want to not have to export my notes but just keep notebooks in sync so that when I'm done writing on the tablet the notes on the PC are updated and get updated everytime I make changes instead of having to export to PDF or another format.
I'm not sure if any of you have used Livescribe paper/pens/software but if they could reproduce that kind of functionality with OTA syncing that would be incredible! Still occasionally use my Livescribe pen but would rather than be fully using my Note 10.1 for everything.
Anyone know of something that does it all? I've used Quill, LectureNotes, S-Notes and others but still haven't found something that can do all three. Any ideas or suggestions?

So you can make edits in Quill, they are automatically updated to Evernote and you can view those files on your PC?
I see an export option in Quill but not a sync option but maybe I'm missing something.
When you find the trifecta, please let me know. My current system is using LectureNotes and syncing to Dropbox. I am also manually exporting to pdf and saving in OneNote to keep it up to date in case MS blows everything away with a fully functional android app.

So I've been using LectureNotes which works in the following instance.
1) Install a sync program, I use Dropsync, to sync local folders on a schedule or automatically with Dropbox and setup a folder for sync with Dropbox.
2) Setup LectureNotes to use this folder (or just setup Dropsync to point to the LectureNotes folder)
3) Notebooks create folders in that folder. Each page for the notebook is a PNG file. If you use single layer notes then you can obviously view this file elsewhere. Notes with more than one layer use multiple files so obviously that can complicate things.
I like to use lecture notes to take a "scanned" image of a handout and put it on one layer and then write text on top on another layer so this doesn't work for that but it does work for simple notes. I can't view the PNG files on the tablet for some reason but have no problem opening them on my PC.

I've been using EzPDF for quite a bit, and their new "palm rejection" seems to simply ignore my hand and go with the S pen, which I do like.
Do you guys have any other apps you use for annotating pdfs?
I'd love to hear your thoughts!
For smaller pdfs and pure annotating importing to LectureNotes is the best to me, it's simply the best note taking app there is out there and if you really want to annotate in your pdfs the functionality is just outstanding. For annotating straight into the PDFs I switch between iAnnotate and ezPDF, ez is better for annotating but iannotate is way better in handling pdfs and especially books of 500+ pages. The old Acrobat reader isn't to forget either, but for annotating there are better apps.

I do use LN for taking notes, but is there way to get the indexed pdf text imported as a text layer? I'm hoping to be able to do a search and find after I annotate.
I'll look into iAnnotate, thanks for the suggestion!
Also a LN user. Flattening the file for printing led me to the application. Indexing is my next stop.

I use EZpdf for quick changes, it works well and also supports the multi window feature. For big edits, lecturenotes is the most powerful and the only program ill use for actual note taking.
PDF text in Lecture Notes?
So I use a pdf of a textbook, and take notes directly on there.
I have been using LN for this purpose, but I really wish the text was still there as text, not as part of the image.
Is this anyhow possible?

I don't think it's possible since that's not how the app imports the PDF. However, maybe you could ask the developer since he's so awesome. If it were possible, I'd love to buy a LN-pdf editor app that allows this to happen (or maybe even a LN-pdf editor that can link to Mendeley or something).
I was wondering if there were any decent note apps for the phone. I just ordered one off Amazon. I use to use my iPod nano as a note app. I would write down notes and save them and jpgs and load them on my nano to see them through the gallery. Just wondering if there's an easy way of loading notes or writting notes on this here watch.
My suggestion: Smartnote
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.smartwatch2.smartnote
This is a dedicated note-writing app for Android that posts your selected notes to the SmartWatch 2 The advantage over SmartWatch Note Extension (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.simthing.weardevice.sony.smartwatch.notes) is that it syncs with the phone/tablet notes, so you don't have to re-send and delete following an edit. The disadvantage is that it doesn't sync with a web app like Google Keep.
sweet, this might work. I will have to check this out once I get my Smartwatch, thanks!
Hi folks, I've taken a few handwritten notes, several pages long each, using the stylus on my note Pro. When these files are uploaded to Evernote and I try to view them on my desktop computer, the resolution appears very low and they are unreadable. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Yep it sucks.
What I've done is just given up on Evernote for now and I'm using Papyrus along with enabling the premium features in Papyrus which allow full use of tools, PDF export and cloud sync. With the PDF export function I'm able to push notes to Evernote for syncing. The cloud sync to Dropbox also works great with the only downfall being the extremely long sync durations of 12 hours which means you have to go into settings and manually force sync if you need something right away.
Other than that the Papyrus note application is great.
Hi, and thanks for the idea, I'll look into Papyrus premium.
What a pain though...
Is there a way to export high rez versions of the notes I have taken already with the Samsung note app?
I've been using Note Anytime and sending the files through email. I'm disappointed with Evernote..
You could use lecture notes with pdf exports.

Hi, I used to have the same problem, but I found a workable solution since I really do like the S Note / Evernote combo: When you have finished with your note, save it, give it a usable name, and then use the S Note built in Share option, and simply share it to Evernote using pictures (haven't tried the PDF option, or any other, yet). You'll get beautiful high res images in Evernote! And you can do that with all your existing Notes as well!
Hope this helps, good luck!
You can do the same with LectureNotes, there is also an option for directly exporting into Evernote but I haven't tried it.

Instead of using S-Note (which really is unusable when opened in Evernote on a Mac), think about using the new handwritten note function of Evernote for Android. It does not have the same functionality but the handwritten notes are stored in high resolution. You get perfectly readable large notes in Evernote on a Mac.
Why share to ever note from s note? Ever note sync is built in.
You may need to share S-view files because if you simply sync them to Evernote then the files are unreadable on a computer, due to low resolution.
I tried sharing from S-view, selecting PDF and clicking Evernote, and presto it worked like a charm, synced automatically and very readable.
I also tried the sharing an image file via email and the resolution appeared to be a bit better but the file size was significantly larger, plus you need to merge the .png files into a pdf, adding another step. I would only use this when resolution is of utmost importance.
Thanks for the assistance of the above posters, I hope this helps others to figure out what is best for their needs.

You could get the s Note pc application. Then view the files natively, Snote Sync stores 2 files in ever note. one for the galaxy to read and the other that sucks
