I don't know how to make it learn, on swype you write the word and tab space to make swype save it, on this keyboard I can't find a way to make it save the words

@hoss_n2: What I've found is to tap the word on the bar when you finished typing it. This way you can same it... But somehow it goes to some dictionary editing tool.... Not a very efficient way of learning...

I'm afraid Keymonk's two hand swiping is still better than both Swype and 4.2 android.

Previous SNote?

Hi guys!
I got my Note yesterday and after I've upgrade it to the new Android version I've got the new SNote as well and I'm not a fan! My palm is accidentally zooming when I rest it against the screen in a way the previous one didn't and the buttons at the top bar was much more intuitive to me.
Any other with the same problem and maybe a solution? I am open to new better apps as well, I've tried LectureNotes but as an engineering student I'm really in to the SNote shape/function/search the web functionality and I have not seen any app that's anywhere near SNote considering that.
Thanks in advice!

You can disable hand writing so only the s pen is activated, the button can be located at the lower right side of the screen just right of the add page button. The symbol is a hand. Hope this help

Thanks! That was the first thing I did, but the zoom is still active at least when the pen isn't near (14mm/~1 inch or what it might be) and in reality I don't have the pen that close to the screen at all times. The strange thing is that I didn't have these problems with the previous model, maybe they changed it in some way when they added the "pinch to delete page" functionality? And besides I liked the little arrow that completely minimized the toolbar and gave me a blank screen to write on which have now mysteriously disappeared.
I think there is an apk file with the previous version somewhere but even though I've been Google it for the last hour I can't find one! Anyone who has it on their tablet?

Hats the new Snote app. I liked the fact that the menus would hide to increase size of the page for writing, and switching from pen to eraser was jn one place on the right. All gone.

hi, i gt the same problem, eng student too, apparently alot of users have same problem, its been around before we got the update in uk, since aug 2012 as far as i know, i tried many apps, paperus might be a gd one for us but it aint as good as s note, i emailed samsung and i think if alot of users does so something might happen to improve it, or if any devs could jus take the zooming option out,
would you mind emailing samsung so that they could get a massive user feed back.

Exactly, to me the ideal is to have a blank piece of paper and be able to put the tools needed (maybe different pens and the function/shape thing) as floating boxes just like you do at CAD programs etc. SNote got just that, and to be honest SNote was a huge part of why I bought this tablet in the first place. Now it's kinda useless though...

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one having troubles or disliking the new SNote, the more that have problems the faster a solution will appear I hope. I have actually only tested LN besides SNote, mostly because LN is great in any way but SNote it isn't. It doesn't have the mathematical function recognizer nor the shape recognizer and just doesn't seems to work as well with the rest of the system. Like the "screenshot, drag and drop" that works like a charm in SNote where I can look something up at Wolfram and paste it to my notes. It does have some advantages over SNote though, I feel the pure writing is better on LN and it have for example the really simple but so useful feature of "select part/text and move it", more easy to customize background etc.
Not at all! I thought of the same thing myself, I just wanted to check if I was the only one having this problems. But the easiest and by far fastest way to deal with it would of course be if anyone had an Old SNote apk file to install. Adding a "lock zoom and pan" option won't solve the problem with the whole new version suck, and I think getting them to get back to previous versions will be difficult.

That's actually not a bug I think, you can adjust the screen brightness in many apps individually. I'm not quite sure where in the new SNote though..
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app

I got a reply from Samsung Sweden today where they apologized and told me that I, for a cost, could get the previous SNote version if I got the tablet to a service center. On one hand I think it's great that they actually give the customers the option of having the previous version back but on the other I think it's rubbish having to pay for it when it it because the new one is working like ****. There might be a chance that the downgrade will just be a couple of bucks but I'm afraid it won't.
I'm going to reply to Samsung once again, this time with a movie I've made that illustrates the problem with the shape and math identifier. To be continued..

This is obviously a solution however to me this isn't an option since I think everything from the general flow to the multiscreen capabilities is that much better than on ICS and even though SNote is a big part of this tablet LectureNotes is not far behind. But don't get me wrong, I wanna have both of them working!
I made a simple video that illustrates the problem with the shape and math identifier, even though that's just a small bit of the problem with the new SNote feel free to use it for example in contact with Samsung!

Thanks for your answer!
No it's not, I've got 4.1.1 and have the version 5r16958FV03 so it's not even close. However, I don't think everyone's got these strange problems and I don't have them all the time either. But it's way too often to be acceptable, especially since the precious one didn't have any problems what so ever (as far as I could tell).
Have you noticed any other bugs or are your version of SNote a stable functional one?
Another thing I noticed now when I looked up the version of SNote is that I have not one but two "programs" named SNote, the main one of 8.8MB and another one of about a quarter of a MB. Is it possible that the smaller one is the upgrade? I couldn't disable it in any way unfortunately, and when I forced it to stop nothing happened in SNote but that might be because it started up again.

Just read too that it's not free - you have to activate (pay) to continue using it.
The search continues... Can it be that difficult to find a free calculator app for the SW2?? For goodness sake!!!

QuickCalc (by Sascha Löffler)
And it is even calculating right!
A common error for devs is that they don't use math right, for example:
one app: 3+3*5 = 30
the other: 3+3*5 = 18
Have seen many, even so called "scientific calc" apps, apps that don't know basic rules of math!

Well, I suppose if you can use ANY widget on your phone then it may well be worth it... But do they 'convert' nicely from the phone onto the watch?

They convert better than I thought they would at first. Very useful for music widgets, which, although not perfect are usable.

Well I was just about to suggest you try Easy Mode, there isn't anything easier/bigger then that.
Now I don't usually say things like these, but you bought your grandma the wrong phone. A flagship phablet is not for someone who finds Easy Mode confusing. Consumerism must die.

Windows 7 / 8 Launcher. Very simple.

Easier mode is the best. You need to guide her with heart. If easier mode she also can't accept. Then you need to make everything she need to use in one page.

You might root the phone and then in build.prop change screen dpi. Use nova launcher and place everything in one or two pages. Hide dock and status bar(so that she doesn't gets lost) and for battery info use battery widget reborn.
