Write on a screenshot - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know how to quickly write on a screenshot that you've taken? I am simply looking to maybe write some words or circle something on the screen. Can this be done through the gallery?

Have you even read the USER MANUAL?
Use your S-Pen !
It's very simple

Well what I mean is, do you have to import into s-note and then export as a jpg? Or can you just use gallery somehow? I don't want to make a "note" on the back of a pic like the gallery lets you. And I bought my note from a friend, so no manual, plus this is an easy question that a helpful person on here may know.

How, though? I basically want to snap a screen shot, and do quick mark ups with the pen and send the pic by email or something, all without having to import to an editor and save, export, etc.

RTFM!!
If you read carefully in the USER MANUAL you will know how to use your S-PEN for capturing screen & make annotations.
Take out your S-PEN
Tap+Hold while holding the button of your S-PEN
Wait until annotation/edit mode appear.
Annotate/edit anyway you like
Other way is:
Open Gallery
Select a picture/screenshot
Tap on Menu (upper right - the stripes icon) & choose Edit
Select PS Touch
Annotate/edit anyway you like
It's all on the MANUAL or you can try GOOGLE if you don't have a printed documentation.
PLENTY OF PDF MANUAL OR YOUTUBE HOW TO ON THE NET
SEARCH FIRST! DON'T BE TOO LAZY TO SEARCH!
RTFM!!
BTW,I'm not angry with you....I just encourage people to search first before asking something already explained plenty of times on the Net.
ADDITIONAL NOTE:
To invoke quick note:
Take out your S-PEN
Double Tap+Hold while holding the button of your S-PEN
Wait until quick note window appear
Take any notes you like

Try `Ink over apps` from the Play Store.

Some things in this post are helpful, so thanks for that. Others are pointless. Don't answer if you are going to tell me to read the manual or search myself. I know how to do both of those things and do plenty of them. That is not what XDA is about. You sound like someone I'd call on a Samsung hotline for tech support. The time it may take me to read the manual and all that crap is far more than if someone here already knows, takes 15 seconds to reply, then boom....good community help. I do it all the time in the S3 forum when I'm browsing and simply know an answer for someone. It's called being nice! Plus most advice here is much better than what a stock manual will ever supply because it is experience based. Don't browse the Q and A forum if you get mad by questions.
Anyways, thanks for your attempt.

As I said before that I'm not angry with you.
I only encourage you and any other XDA members to search, not only here but also the NET.
Because many tutorials or How-tos are already out there.
And actually someone here was already mentioned about this.
Screenshot annotation app
And try type this on google: screenshot annotate "samsung galaxy note 10.1" -2014
that's why one of the Forum Rule is SEARCH FIRST before creating a new Thread.
I'm glad if I can help,but remember....SEARCH FIRST!

Bloo 1.5, not available on market, but you can probably find it at any of the popular file charing websites (mods: its a free app, so im not promoting warez)...or if youd like i can upload the .apk for you to download and try out
It has chat, notifications for EVERYTHING (including wall/status posts, photo comments, etc.), birthday alerts...pretty much everything
Great!Can you upload the .apk please?
Enjoy....let me know what you think....and dont forget to slam the "thanks" button, glad to help

a lot of people have this issue. i pulled this from the developers blog (http://fbandroid.wordpress.com/), give it a shot, and report back
Update: Kate from the comments provided some instructions to get the 6 digit code! Thank you Kate!
1. In your browser, enter in http://m.facebook.com (this will bring up the mobile site)log-in to your facebook account.
2. In the “Search” box at the BOTTOM of the page type in “Bloo for Android” and click on “Search”.
3. Click on the application “Bloo for Android” (NOT the group).
4. Then click on the button that says “Allow”. This will link your Facebook account with Bloo.
5. Now, from your phone go to your Bloo application and click on “Get Code” and it should take you to the code page!
6. Enjoy!
*Note* I used the m.facebook.com site directly from my PC, I didn’t try it on my phone… so if it doesn’t work on your phone, try it on your home computer.
I hope this helps out a lot of people!
That wireless flawlessly. You saved me alot of time later on trying to figure that out. There is one option I see missing. The search option. I don't want to scroll through all my friends just to get to one of their pages.
Edit, I figured it out how to do it.

well you can either use the side scroller, or long press your phones menu button to bring up your keyboard, and it searches as you type
or if your phone has a search button, just press that
One more thing: keep in mind this app isnt flawless, it may suck your battery a little bit....and also ive noticed that if you get multiple notifications in a shrot period of time, it might skip over some......other than those two things, its certainly good enough that ive been using it since its release
Does it let you edit and post comments?

Guys I need help.I can't seem to view photos of myself or other people.It says there's no album.And events are not shown too...
You cant easily click a photo on the facebook apps stream and have it point you to the photo, usually it dumps you to the profile instead...
Sort of on topic sort of off topic...
I don't think people should have to make better alternatives to the Facebook app.
I think facebook should get their bloody act together and give us a suitable app that:
Has all the features of the utterly fantastic Iphone one.
DOES NOT RAPE BATTERY.
If everyone rates it 1 star we will get an update. simple as that...
Personally I have uninstalled Facebook, wiped it from the system folder, I use SyncMyPix for contact photos and I use Tweetdeck to pull in my facebook updates. for anything else I need on facebook I use the touch site...because what the app carried on sending you to anyway...
Ive noticed ive gained 3hours per charge since uninstalling all traces of facebook. It is just poorly coded, poorly presented, crippled bloatware.
The new F-plus on the market is pretty good. Offers push notifications and news feed now. Doesnt have chat. Go facebook chat is pretty good though.
I definintely like f+ better, I think I'll keep it and use it.

[Q] Prevent Youtube from clearing search bar?

I get the feeling many don't feel the same as I do (I get this feeling from my utter lack of success on Google with this), but is there a way to prevent the Youtube app from clearing the search bar after every search?
I like to watch a lot of episodic content and, of course, I would search for it using terms like 'Comedy Show Episode 01', but doing this is a bit more difficult due to how the Youtube app seems to clear the search bar after every search. Of course, if I also misspell a word during my search, I'd end up after to rewrite the entire thing.
Is there a way/tweak to allow my search queries to remain?

Well, thanks for suggestion about copy/paste, but the reason I didn't use that to begin with is that I'm usually inter-switching between using Youtube, surfing various information websites, reading Kindle books, commenting on websites, and etc. More often than not, my clipboard is already filled with some other important notes I intend to use later.
Yes, I also understand I could simply copy/paste the note somewhere else to re-use the clipboard, but I was hoping for a quicker/simpler solution. If there isn't one, I will do it that way, but just keeping a bit of hope.
Ya I see why that wouldn't really work.

Well, no matter. There doesn't appear to be any solution to my issue, so I guess using the clipboard in tandem with a note app is the only method available to me.

I have 2 ideas.
Hi.
I have 2 ideas (requests?).
1. Like a monolingal which is a OSX's program. It will keep some locales which we chosed and delete the other languages.
2. Additional Locale. not like a morelocale2 and so on. additional locale which device have not (not hidden). Normaly, it's too difficult for noob ( I heard specilist can add locale).
Cheers.
another idea: an app that turn screen on a black screen and the icon of notification whenever notification come up (and screen is turn off of course). can you?
An app that lets me see the history of my notifications, even those i've already seen

I found perfect site for creating apps...Yesterday I ended up on some site called apps-machine.com . I have to share it with you guys. I started creating my own app and after 15 minutes clicking on their control panel(no programming,just clicks) I made app in what user could make effects on their photos,paint photos,play music,play videos,have notepad,chat and stream music. They got literally 1000's of features on their control panel I think this could be a gold mine And I read something that they have free app development and so on. Aaand you can change everything all the backgrounds,colors,tabs...and you instantly see it on that same page through their simulator..don't know how they managed to do that but it is super handy...I am super excited at the moment..time to get some apps on apple and play store

Looking for a quick memo app

My previous phone was the lg options g and the one thing I loved was LG's quick memo. Is there any chance of getting it ported to the nexus 5 or is there something similar?
Sorry if this has already been done or asked, but my search came up empty.
Thanks

Look no further than google keep. sync across devices, store photos notes etc , even use voice to dictate a meme, I find it invaluable and easier to use than evernote.

Google Keep is amazing. Quick, easy, simple, and it works. Easy to set reminders too.
I already use Google keep. However, lg quick memo works differently than that. It allows you to write over your background. For example, if I get a call from a number I don't know, I would go to call history, enter quick memo to write the number on the screen. Then tap a button which allows me to browse the phone while that number stays on the screen so I can search that number without trying to remember it or write it on paper. Its all right in front of you. Obviously there is more uses for it than that.
I still have my rooted lg optimus g so I can pull the all from there. Not sure if that will work though.

I imagine you could set this up with Tasker. Take a screenshot which triggers it to be edited with a simple image editor, draw and save. Maybe assign it all to up+power instead of down.

[APP][TASKER] MyNotes v1.0

MyNotes​
Post #1: App introduction, download link, credits, screenshots attached.
Post #2: FAQ / other info.
Hello!
I've spent last days in making an app for taking notes. Initially, I wanted to make a shopping list, but then I decided to make an app which allow me to take notes because there are moments when I need to take a quick note. I can't upload it to Google Play because I don't have my own money ( and I'm almost 21 already... ).
I'm still a Tasker newbie
FEATURES:
☆ Possibility to save the current text from text field to a .txt file in a folder named MyNotes, along with the date and the clock when the text was saved. You can save text to same .txt file as much as you want.
☆ Enable a shake option to launch MyNotes.
☆ Enable a persistent notification, which after is touched will run MyNotes.
☆ No ads
That's all the features. I've wanted to add a color picker too for changing the theme, but it went troublesome for me and also then I didn't think themes are that useful for an app like this.
DOWNLOAD: https://www.mediafire.com/download/3dggq5uhdyugd33
CREDITS:
- Tasker and it's developer
- reddit forum (big thanks to Ratchet_Guy)
- google tasker forum
- me
NOTE: This app was created on my phone, a Samsung Galaxy J5, with a 5.0", 720x1280 resolution screen. It might look weird on other resolutions.
FAQ / other info
1. Who are you?
I'm Robert (Force @xda). I've created this app using Tasker because there are moments when i need to write a quick note and read it later. I'm sure that there are apps much better than this, but i wanted one made with Tasker. I'm addicted to Tasker, but i still noob
2) Why are required network permissions?
Tasker added the permissions automatically according to app actions/features. I've added a button named "XDA thread" which open the xda thread. The button purpose is for writing bugs/reviews/suggestions. There is also a "SHARE" button to contact me through email.
I can remove these 2 buttons if you are concerned. I can also share the xml project.
3) Long press the buttons to see what it does.
4) I would like to know your review, your suggestions and also let me know if you found any bug.
5) The .txt file get saved in the folder named MyNotes in your phone internal memory (most likely /sdcard/ or /sdcard0/).
6. The "X" icon or phone back button minimize the app, so it saves the current text in textfield.
I'm waiting your opinion / review / suggestion
Thank you!

Sure. I've attached it to this post. It isn't that clean, for example the main scene is called SHOPPING because initially I wanted to make a shopping list. I didn't rename since I've exported it as app.
Let me know if you have any questions regarding the project file, or if you think I can make "the code" cleaner.
Also, if you wanna make your app or something and wanna share it, I would like to give credits to me if you are using scene, only if you mind. because I've spent few days working on
Please let me know your opinion about this app, good or bad review doesn't matter, but I want an honest review

As far as I can see on internet, you need a plugin to do that. It can't be done alone with Tasker.
This is what you need: Note Buddy (S Pen Helper) . It does what you're looking for, and you don't have to use it with Tasker.
Please check it.
