Upgraded to HC 3.2.1. No complaints. Like the new Supernote app. Just wondering why it and all the other note apps in the market have an upload option to dropbox, google docs, sugarsync, etc, but when you try to upload it says that feature is not working yet (or something similar). I've tried all of the tablet note apps and they all give you the same message, uploading ability, but won't work yet. Supernotes is the same way. What's up with this? Must be something in Android that isn't yet available. All the developers have put the feature in their app, but waiting on the technology to catch up to implement. Frustrating cause I love the Supernote app, but really need to upload to take advantage of cloud storage. My workaround is to use QuickOffice HD which handles uploads to Dropbox, Sugarsync, and Google Docs. Works great, but is more for documents and not notes.
That's strange.
I've never had a problem with any of the note taking apps saving to dropbox.
I just did a supernote test and a paint note and a regular note uploaded to drop box just fine.
might be a dumb quest but do you have qdocs app on your tab? Others have had this prob but also did not know you needed to have the app on the tab for the upload to work.
Are you referring to Google docs?
I don't know what qdocs is....I don't have that loaded on the TF.
No problems sending Supernotes to Dropbox here. Sends it as a JPG. Sends to Google Docs just fine too.
Would be nice to have background web sync of supernotes, but the Android based Sharing is great for the moment.
This app is a real product differentiator... I hope Asus have some more planned.

I think what he means is, do you have the apps for evernote, dropbox etc installed on the tablet, as the share to function wont work unless you have the apps for the options installed.
Regarding Supernotes: I tested again. What I find is you can upload a .jpg file but not a text file. It says that the text upload feature is not available yet. Such as, save the note as a .docx file and try to upload. It will not work. So, if you got text document files to upload, then what am I doing wrong??
I need text file upload for work stuff. .jpg does me no good in sharing work file notes between computers. I use the TF to take notes in many work related meetings. The text format is most needed for mobility.
Yes, I have Dropbox, Sugarsync, Google Docs, etc. loaded on my TF. I have yet to find any note app that will upload a text based note to any of these formats. Am I missing something? Also, what is "qdocs"? I can't find that app on the market.
Thanks.
sorry for the confusion...yes i meant Google docs
I can upload as text file tho on mine....Google docs.
EDIT..my bad that was a doc I only used keyboard on in supernote and it was evernote which it uploaded as a txt to.
Thanks for clarifying.
I only use drop box... no google docs.
I have been testing the sync feature to google docs/drive of all my notes. What I noticed is after I sync the first time I try adding another word to note and sync again, it deletes what I just wrote. Please advise if you guys are experiencing this issue or advise if Im doing it wrong.
Here is what I do:
1. Create note and write something
2. Save note
3. Go back to S-Note screen where all notes are and select Sync
4. Choose the new note and click sync
So far so good. I see it in Google drive.
5. Open note back up and write a word or something
6. Repeated steps 3-4
This time, my new change has been deleted and now shows what I initially committed. ??
Hey guys, quick update. Guess Sync only works one way on S-Note which is why I had issue.
I ended up creating a dropbox account and download app called dropsync. Dropsync allows me to do 2 way sync and does so automatically. Now when I add notes, create new ones, or delete one, dropsync will ensure to sync with drop box.
Pretty legit I must say.
I use an app called Folder SYnc and it will do two way sync. Use with several Cloud accounts. There is a free version and it is a great app.
What file format are you saving them in? Just curius if you are using thr .snb format and if you are able to view those files on a pc.

Same question here, I am asking me if it is possible to edit .snb file on Google Doc or with a Windows app. Otherwise, the sync is only a backup solution, but no more...
Im syncing them as .snb so you can just consider it a backup. At the moment, I dont think there is a PC application that will allow you to modify the files. Im hoping Samsung will make their kies software have access to open .snb files from PC.

I tried the same and it works
However I noticed one issue,
If I edit a note that has been createdin the other device the whole thing goes wrong
the page and everything is still there but I loose the part of the note created in the original device.
so it looks like viewing is fine but you can not edit the same note across different devices

This is the BEST solution. Works very well. The syncing which comes with S-Notes should be avoided at all costs. Evernote and Google Docs are very incomplete and difficult to use. Dropbox rules.
A similar solution for your PC.
The only problem in using Dropbox with your PC is that the files you want synced must be in your Dropbox folder.
Well, actually no. You can create "symbolic links" from any folder on your PC to your Dropbox Folder so that Dropbox will sync them. This can be VERY convenient if you have large document or database files you wish to keep synced but don't wish the originals to live in your Dropbox Folder.
This is VERY easy to achieve with something called "Link Shell Extension" found here:
http://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/hardlinkshellext.html#contact
Just follow the directions. It talks about doing "hard links" but I have found doing "symbolic links" works just fine. Once installed, you simply right click the folder you wish to link to drop box and select it as your link folder. Then you right click your Dropbox Folder and select that as the destination. Then if you open your Dropbox Folder it will appear that the folder you have just linked is there, but it's not, it is in its original location but now Dropbox will sync it.
Cool, right?
P.S., make sure you get your free 50 GB of space from Dropbox first

Do not be so critical, for a simple backup, it is far easier to use the sync included in S-Notes than the Dropbox solution...
IF we could use the .snb with a software on a PC, perhaps it could be interesting to use Dropbox, but really, without any possibility to edit, don't complicate your life, use simply the backup solution included in S-Notes :angel:

With all due respect you are wrong.
The built in syncing does not properly account for upstream and downstream updating.
For instance, if you use the built in sync feature you can literally never delete any notes locally as the sync action will simply restore the ones you have deleted. Try deleting a note that has been previosly synced using the stock feature then run a sync again. I reappears.
Drop Sync works properly. If you have deleted a file locally it will not replace that file when you do your sync and the deleted file will be removed from your Dropbox account as well.
As such your Dropbox becomes a mirror image of your device. This is how syncing as opposed to just backing up is supposed to work. You can also control this behavior even further in options if you like. In addition you can command Drop Sync to sync automatically in the background at regular intervals.

No Solution: Syncing / Editing and then Syncing S-Note to Google Drive?
Well, I described my issue here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2203479
Background: My company is a Google Apps for Business enterprise user and I need handrwritten to text notes for a lot of meetings. The ideal solution is using Google Keep, or S-Notes with S-Pen and then sync to Google Drive.
Situation: 1) When I use Google Keep everything works fine until I open the document in the Drive and it is a Polaris, or Kings Office file format, not Google Docs - and not editable; 2) When I use S-Note, everything works until I open, edit and try to re-save the file within Google Drive. I get an error message: "failed to save document" and then I get "Saved /data/data/com.google.android.apps.docs/cache2/......"
The Solution: I can write directly into a Googls Doc using the S-Pen but prefer using Google Keep, or S-Notes.
From reading this thread it appears no one is successfully using Google Keep with S-Pen, or S-Note to save / sync documents to Google Drive; edit those documents; and then re-save, or re-sync to Google Drive?
Thank you!
It does appear that NoteSync is the best approach to have notes SYNC with Google Drive

Out of all the services I like SugarSync the best. I can sync my S-Note folder and it will automatically sync new notes and keep them up to date if I make revisons so it is a set and forget back up solution. If you want to try it use the referral link below and we can both get an extra 500mb.

Where is the "local folder" for snote?
to sync s-note
I have tried and tried many apps and methods to sync s-note across devices. ONLY THING i have found to work.
I use a app called DS Cloud for my Synology server.
I Created a folder on the server called snote
I created a folder in my snote directory on my note 10.1 and note 2 phone.
Reason for this is IS if you sync from the default location you will sync templets There are different template Version of S- NOTE ON Each device.
So once i did the above i Told ds cloud on the desk station to share that folder .
on each device i have to sync the folder i called my notes inside the s- note folder. That way is does NOT Sync the templets and app information.
To get them to google drive. From my Disk station i sync the snote foilder with my google drive account.. This is just for a Just incase my home internet is down.
The issue your having with notes being over written between devices i think is because different s note versions..
Hope this help anyone. its only way i can get it to work properly for me.
OHH I LOVE Synology disk station.
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.
Sent from my GT-N8013 using XDA Premium HD 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 think you should be able to do this with Polaris Office however it does not work very well. There are two other options, either you convert the document into a pdf and use a PDF annotator such as ezpdf or there is a new app called textmaker which allows you to mark up text like MS Word but the app is expensive although there is a free trial availableon their website at the following link:

Here are some notes I made on using Polaris for ink notations:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856691
I haven't found another office product that allows ink annotations either. I did install MobileNoter SE HD recently. Its an unofficial OneNote app for Android that has tons more functionality than the official OneNote app, including ink annotations that will be captured and synced back to OneNote on a PC. Here is a link to that, but FYI its $15 (but worth it if you are a heavy OneNoter).

Thanks for the link. I checked it out. The functionality looks good, but the implementation for me is a deal-breaker. From the description of the app:
" The documents you want to annotate and share are securely stored in your Soonr Personal account in the cloud so you must be connected to the internet to access them."
So you have to store your docs on their cloud server to annotate and access them, and there is no off-line caching of those docs. Sounds like the functionality is just a gimmick to get people using their cloud services.

Not to be rude like our "VP"........ but you are in correct. You can offline cache either in office formats or the pdf(annotated format)
When you have a doc on your screen you can either back arrow to save it as annotated to the cloud account. or if while it is on the screen you can hit the upper rt corner menu and down load which will cache it. What i have noticed is the down load did not seem to work if you are just in the soonr menu and long press a file to download it that way without it on the screen open. For me it must be open on the screen and DL from upper rt menu to cache.
I DL'd this app this morning to try it so i have not played alot with it but this is what i know so far. Seems pretty good though.

Many thanks for the further insights. If you do download/cache it, can you open it in the sonnr app without an active internet connection to truly work with it offline? Or is the downloaded version "read only," still requiring an active connection to their cloud to make further annotations on the cloud copy?
I love the idea of the app, except if I have to be tethered to their cloud to use it.

yes it will work in their app, let you work on it and when you are done place it in a pending upload state until you are back on wifi. than it will update in the cloud. Still trying to work out everything- will take another look at it over the weekend.
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.
