So I got a S-pen with eraser and as many of you may already know, you have to remove the s-pen that came with the tablet to be able to use the separate s-pen.
Did anyone figure out a way to avoid this? I think it's pretty annoying...
Turn off power saving in spen settings. You can leave the spen in there and use another 3rd party pen fine....
^^^ What he said - I have a case that allows an additional s-pen to be held on the case. I disabled power saving and always use the cases pen. I hardly ever remove the original one

Thanks a ton guys! I can't believe I missed that

I've tried a bunch of different "smart cover" type apps out, and I can't get anything to work. I saw in the Best/Worst apps list that Power Switch is good for the Infinity. I was unable to get it working, anybody else have success with it?

Don't know that app but I use Screen off and Lock...works great to switch off screen.
You don't have a keyboard dock, do you? I just close my docked tablet to put it to sleep and open it again to wake it.
My cover is still in the mail, but when I tried SmartCover and used my finger to cover the light sensor, it worked like it was supposed to. The only thing i didn't have the patience to deal with (yet) was getting the settings right for low light situations; and yes I did check the box to make it know that after a certain time, it would be darker and thus not be as sensitive. When my cover arrives, I'll try again and let ya know :laugh:
I have tried every smart cover-esque app I can, and none seem to work on the Infinity.
I use Proximity Screen Off Pro on my TF700 (needs rooted)
after install, you have to choose "ambient light sensor" (not proximity sensor), hit start service (in app) and reboot.
works great in TF700

Works great for turning it off. How do you get it to turn the screen back on?
I use Awesome On Off Ultimate. I tried other similar programs, but this is the best one so far.
Just installed Synergy JB and have noticed that there is one finger zoom in here where you basically slide up and down on the edge of the screen and it zooms in and out. I see people with the note II have this also so it seems it may be a Touchwiz JB feature but I haven't seen a way to turn it off. It's nice but would love to find a way to toggle it. I already checked display, accessibility, and motion controls with no luck and it zooms in any app that can zoom.
If I remember correctly E actually put the GNOTE 2 camera in that ROM so what you are seeing is that actually camera... As far as I know the only way to change that would be to flash a different camera.... HOWEVER.. I do have the NOTE 2 camera on mine also and can pinch to zoom or use the volume keys so there may be different versions of that also... But anyways flash a different camera and that should do the trick

Well its not just the camera it's in the browser, wikipedia app, and others
I apologize.. I swear the post said in the camera app.... I know he pulled a few .APK's from the Note 2... All I can suggest is check the settings for the individual apps... You could also try and download a different browser and try that... That would help narrow it down if it is something "Overseeing" the ROM or something specific to certain .APK's....
anyone find a fix for this...it's happening in my browser now and it's killing me?

What Scroll Bars?

With all due respect, you may want to look at your screen and take note of the fact there are no scroll bars.
I understand that we are creatures of habit, and as I have been using the GUI, with Scroll Bars since the first Mac (1984) I too tend to use the edge of the screen to scroll, but the truth is, it is a Phone, not a Mac, not a PC. It has no scroll bars. Scroll slightly to the left (or to the right-so to not disenfranchise left handed phone users) or 1/4 of the way across, or 1/3rd, or 1/2 or 3/4 quarters, etc. etc. etc.
Anywhere you'd like. It's a Phone, it's a touch screen. No mouse, no ability to tap in the scroll bar and have the screen advance. No way to position your mouse over the up or down arrow, and have the screen scroll smoothly without any other movement than you holding down the mouse button.
It's a Phone. Get it?
Anyway, what is really infuriating is that Samsung put this feature on the phone, didn't tell anyone, until people started complaining about it and reporting it as a bug, and then rather than either tell people about it, or add the ability through a Setting to disable it, in a new release of the software, the morons simply took it away.
So let me ask you, if your phone came configured with the setting disabled by default, but gave you the option to enable it, try it, see if you liked it, then said, nah, and turned it off, would that have been best for you and guys like me who depend on it all day every day to be able to use my Phone with one hand?
I think the answer is obvious.
Samsung, you are laughable, amateur software developers.
Thankfully we have XDA.
Now I just need one of you on here to figure out where in the heck it is hidden so you can make me a build that includes it with whatever else is in the latest releases.
You see, Android is almost entirely "Hard Coded" so it is not something the average user can just go "teeak" , like following the step by step instructions of someone to simply "Hack" the Windows Registry to make it the way we like it.
All the more reason Samsung is so pitiful.
Got my 10.1 note and love it, however, despite trying layer paint I really enjoy using s-note.
however, is there any way of changing opacity for screenshots, layers?
Also is there a way I can disable scrolling, as when I touch with my palm to rest to draw it sometimes moves the canvas.
If you don't want to get your hand to affect the touchscreen, you should tap on the finger icon at the right bottom of the frame. If you go like this, the screen can only be accessed by the stylus

That'll only prevent the finger from drawing on the screen when the pen is away, and only prevent the palm from pan/zoom when the pen is closer than an inch-ish (14mm) from the screen. In reality this isn't always the case which leading to this really frustrating problem! I'm very aware of the problem myself and started a thread about it in the apps section a couple of hours ago. Unfortunately because the lack of settings in SNote I can't see any fix but to replace it with an third part app like Lecture Notes... To bad, I really like the shape/function features in SNote as well as the WolframAlpha "instick".
Hi all,
One of the nice things about the S-Pen on the Galaxy Note line is that the user can turn off the dot on the screen that appears beneath the pen if you don't like it. On my Surface Pro I find that STUPID dot quite annoying when I am trying to ink, but MS in the wisdom has decided to give us no way to turn it off.
I am assuming their must be a Registry Hack that allows users to control this behavior. Anyone have an idea?

I may be wrong, but there should be an option to remove visual feedback in desktop control panel. Might be under Touch or Input or Pen or something like that.

Sadly there is not. You can removed the pulsating dot that appears beneath a touch, but you cannot turn off the pen cursor.
Hi Guys! If you could, what Apps would you like to run on your cover screen, given that it's really small or what type of information you wish you could access from the cover screen?
I am a developer, so maybe, just maybe I will be your genie to your wishlist of cover screen apps.
Go ahead, be as creative as you could be! I look forward to hear ideas other than using the Cover Screen as a Notification LED please.
there is no native android support outside screen... so you can't to do anything...
if you are wizard - make please for start AOD on cover screen

I obviously can do some magic.
That's why here to collect ideas which the actual users may would like to see, I won't be super keen on AOD implementation as that would eat up battery, but sure, could be an option. I have my own list of to-dos for the first version of the Super App, just want to see what users come up with.
something can toggle wifi Bluetooth sound flashlight.....
I used aod on all my samsungs. and even on large screens it didn't add much to the battery drain. But how many forums I read, most users are at a loss why the small Samsung display, which is logical for aod, was not used in this model.
about adding functional - enabling bixby routines would be logical without opening the phone.

Well, if Samsung natively implements sure, not much batter drain, but as a third-party developer there are limited access to the APIs (at least not without root.) But yeah, I will see what I can do about it. Bixiby routines, interesting.
I second the toggles for bluetooth/sound/flashlight. Also would like the notification ring as well.. like the ring we see when we charge it.
super. I hope you will finish this soon
Thanks forbyour work is it possible to choose thé number of lines of notification liké the Google assistant message (3 lines) and an vertical scrolling and longer time before extinction for notifications ?
Please

I have a couple days with the flip and for my confort don't spend to much effort to open and for the sake of won't scratch more often when I put on every surface close position, I semi-close pacman like position and put like a stand so the metal frame only touch the surface not the glass and that way when I have to open only use one hand to fully open.
But in that position all the notifications appear on the main screen, so no way to see what notification have, it's there a way to show the notifications on the second mini screen in open position?
I agree, just a simple AOD digital clock would be sweet
