I use a Galaxy tablet 10.1 and a Nexus 7 I recently purchased to organize my work each day. I frequently make a list of destinations on my pc in google maps and then print directions to a pdf and save to my drop box. My galaxy tablet can pull up maps and navigate to any address on the pdf. The Nexus 7 will not do this. It will not select the address no matter how many PDF readers or editors I try, six to this point. This has been with the stock rom non rooted. Today I rooted the Nexus and tried several different roms but none to this point have helped the issue. The Galaxy 10.1 is un-rooted and I don't understand why the same apps react so differently. Does anyone have any suggestions. Sorry this question is so long winded.

Hello everyone,
I bought the Note 10.1 about one month ago and am mostly satisfied with it, except for one point.
As a student, I use the SNote app a lot during lectures, and I like to import images from pdf presentations in my notes. The multiview is very handy for that, but the problem comes from Polaris (and possibly the multiview mechanics?).
1. Is there a way to change polaris fonts ? The texts and math formulas are displaying in a very ugly way. If I don't zoom, some letters are half-erased, sometimes the letters are not equally spaced within a word or sentence. In Adobe reader, it display fine as it would on any computer. This is annoying and sometimes unreadable... Is there a way to fix this somehow ?
2. When I'm done importing files, or any time I don't need the second window, I usually close the multiview. But that quits the app and I cannot resume where it was left. Pretty annoying when I have to reopen the same pdf 5 times during a lecture... Is there a way to make it so that the app just goes in the background without quitting ?
I am using a GT-N8010, 4.0.4, version number (if it's of any use) IMM76D.N8010XXALGC.
My Polaris version is 4.0.5002.33. I updated it recently to see if the above issues would be resolved, but unfortunately not.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

The only advice I can give is to be patient and wait for jellybean as I believe it fixes your problem with multi app view. I've seen demonstrations on YouTube where you can have lots of apps open and you can resize them to any size you want, including full screen. The other apps are still open in the background and you can bring them forward as needed.
Do a search for "galaxy note 10.1 jelly bean", and look for Zedomax multi window demo. I believe this is what you are asking for in your second question.

I am looking at the Note 10.1 for purchase and I am trying to get information about handwriting recognition using the S Pen and saving what has been written to a .txt document or RTF doc or doc file. Searching for this answer on this forum and others has not helped - at least I have not found the answer. What I want to be sure that I can do is handwrite a document - for example an article for publication - and save the handwriting recognition text version and be able to use it then on a PC in software like Word or Notepad. Can this be done using the included Polaris Office app? What I have seen so far about the S Notes app is that it only saves to pdf or jpg files. Is that true?
Then somewhere I saw that files cannot be attached to emails sent from the Note 10.1 - is this true? If I installed an app like K9 Email on the Note 10.1 which has file attachment capabilities on other Android devices will I be able to attach the text files from the Note 10.1 that I have written using handwriting recognition (if txt files are possible using handwriting recognition)?
I am not interested (at least now) in annotating documents - I need to be able to create new text documents with the S Pen and be able to save and edit them as text both on the Note and then on a PC.
Thanks!
Hi 1776,
You can write straight into Polaris Office (or any other office app, google docs etc) using the handwriting recognition keyboard option and save into whatever format those apps support.
I've become an S Pen junkie over the last month for taking notes and docs for my work. A Note 10.1 a month ago, and a Note 2 phone (for easy noting on the move) this week.
I find the S Pen option ( Language and input | Samsung Keyboard Settings | Handwriting | Recognition type | Complete recognition) best for this (as opposed to 'Stroke recognition' option)
Good luck with it!
You can also save the files to a cloud service and retrieve them anywhere using this...
For that matter, you can even move your PCs My Documents folder to Dropbox, and use Dropsync on your tablet to do a completely automatic 2-way sync so that you can edit the files from the PC or at tablet at any time :thumbup:

Or switch to google docs and scratch the office suite altogether. Or use sNote and sync to Evernote.
Lots of options available.

Thanks to all! I knew I would get a fast response from this forum to answer my question. I now know from you that I can use the SPen to write into Polaris or an office suite or Google Docs and get my articles ready. There is a good price right now at Costco and I am going to take advantage of it.
Thanks again!
Sorry to bring this back up again - I went to Best Buy today and wanted to try the S Pen with Polaris Office. I opened Polaris Office and looked for the gear symbol to start handwriting recognition at the bottom of the keyboard next to the microphone symbol for voice recognition. It was not there. Only the microphone was there. I went into S Pen settings on the Note 10.1 and did not see much to set. A salesman came over and asked him how to get this display model to let me use the S Pen in Polaris Office and he said it cannot do that. He insisted the pen only works in S Note. I told him differently, explained what I expected to find and all of the more knowledgeable people than him (I did not say that part) that are on this forum say it works with Polaris and other apps. He tried and found nothing to get it to work.
So now I have a new question - does this now work with an update that perhaps their display did not have? He also tried it on the Note 8 that was on diplay and said it did not work.
You all say it works and I am sure it does. I would just like to see it do it before I plunk down almost 500 bucks.
What is needed to do to make it work? And if there was an update and the displays were not updated - would it then not work?
TIA!!!
Long press on the microphone button on the keyboard gives you a selection box. One of the choices switches the keyboard to pen entry.

FYI I found the default pen settings to be less than optimal for my writing style. Keep this in mind while trying it out. You'll likely customize it to your liking once you own it.

Thanks once again. I went to a different Best Buy today and did as was described here and long pressed the mike key - and there was the button to start handwriting recognition. I worked fairly well. Thank you to bsaman who warned me about having to customize the settings to get it to write smoothly. In the store, words were split, wrong letters were put in, but I can see that with some adjustment it will work just fine and I test saved a doc handwritten in Polaris and saw in the file manager that it was saved as a .doc file which is what I need it to do.
One other question - every time my hand leaned on the glass when writing with the pen in the input box that was across the lower half of the screen, it brought up a new screen scrolling up from the bottom. I assume that this can be turned off?
The only thing I can think of is the Multi-window option bar that pops up when you touch the carret in the navbar. Don't know about disabling it though.

I went to Costco today and bought the Note 10.1 ($417 including a leather case) and now I have to start setting it up. Thanks to all!
Hi friends, i started using galaxy note 2 (N7100), i want to make use of s pen to the most, i use pocket to save the articles/stories to read it later but am unable to annotate on them, so my requirement is not yet fulfilled, i want to know is there any app where i can store the pics/pages/articles/news (anything) and read it later like pocket but which enables me to annotate and make notes on them and save the changes.
am also looking for some app by which i can write on anywhere like to send email or message, and where the android system responds to it, to make a call or send message, to open a tab etc (check the attached image of Lemon mobiles Aspire A1). and a browser app which tracks my regular visits to certain webpages, blogs and keeps me updating the new posts.
thanks you for the responses.
Same boat here

I was looking for exactly the same thing and searching led me to this page. Diigo seem to be promising, but I don't know if this will work well on the android. The android app only shows the link, not a way to read/annotate.
Hi guys, I've bought a samsung galaxy tab a 10.1 2016 (the model without the s pen) and an Adonit ADJD2B Jot Dash 2 on amazon, I'm searching for app that allow me to take note easily and to edit and write on pdf files.
what do you suggest?
Also I know that this pen is not a bluetooth pen, do you know any bluetooth pen that works with my tablet which include palm rejection function?
thanks for your help
After that I've tried many apps, no one of these is satisfying. The one that I prefer is INKredible but I've many problems like so much lag on scrolling pdf pages and sometimes don't read correctly pdf file that other apps loads normally.
Please suggest me something, I am searching apps like notability on ipad
Editing on pdf? I guess thats a no no.

Good day to all
Well, just as the title says, that's what I am hoping to do. This is for my church I am doing this btw.
Scenario is this: my pastor has a tablet with an app he generally uses every now and then for certain quotes as he preaches. I'm the I.T guy there, so i have a setup where he can display his tablet on our projector for the congregation to follow. The projector is used, well to display lyrics and scripture throughout the service. The new aim is now to have the song leader view lyrics displayed through the projector that he may not know, especially newly written songs for example plus other things. So now I have a dedicated tablet for use at the pulpit and I have gotten apps setup for displaying purposes, in addition to the app my pastor uses.
Thing is now, he has some bookmarks in it (the app) that he uses to save time when looking for his desired quote. During the song service, he prepares the quotes which he won't be able to do with the new tablet while the song leader has it. The tablet he uses, his personal device, is a samsung galaxy tab 3 and what i got is the fire hd 8 (which is faster and doesn't lock up like that samsung does with apps open).
So I am wondering and hoping if it is possible, to share the data of the app on the samsung with that of the fire hd 8. I came across some things but the device must be rooted which the fire hd 8 is not and I am not sure if it can. What I have not tried yet is the google app sync, came across it some minutes ago (which I am hoping it will do) but I am looking for the best solution for this, without root. My main desire is for the data to be shared speedily. And in case you are wondering, I do have a wifi network setup.
ALSO: Something else that I would like some input on. I want an app that I can use to say, send notes with requests (prayer request for example) or just a note to the tablet at the pulpit. We tend to have it written down and someone will walk to the pulpit to deliver it but I am looking for an app for that. Would like the app to be really fast as far as updating itself with new notes. I am trying evernote but I find it takes too long (at least my from stand point) to resync and what not. There is a notification alert which I don't find efficient especially if the song leader is using the app i setup to view the projector.
Hope my comment isn't too long but I tend to be detailed in things like this. Thanks
