So I was thinking of buying this capacitive stylus: http://www.amazon.com/Acase-Capacit...aybook/dp/B003ULE6GU/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
But I was wondering if there are any decent note taking apps designed for use with a pen. Because if there aren't, it's kind of pointless, I don't think there's really anything else I would use the stylus for, except maybe drawing.
Thanks!
I'm not sure of a good app, but I do own this stylus. Once I get my Transformer tomorrow, I will let you know how well it works.
Not sure to what extent you plan to use notes, but I use "Note Everything Pro" and absolutely love it!

Handwritten notes
If you're talking about handwritten notes, some people from the xoom forum suggested handrite, check it out and tell me if it works with the transformer. There is a free version with ads. Also many users suggest get rid of the auto insert feature through the settings for the app and it becomes much more usable.
Amazon 1-click Order is dangerously easy. Just ordered it. I'll play around with the note taking apps and let you know what I find. Tablet's coming tomorrow, stylus should arrive on Tuesday.
I'm using flext9 it can be used as swipe which works faster than the one installed on the transformer and it also has a writing to text feature that's pretty cool.I take my notes on evernote which also has a share button to email/ share it to a computer. You can also create an account and sync your documents up to access anywhere.
I can't believe this, from the time since the beginning of Android to now, NO ONE has created a combinable Text & Handwriting note program.
Where is the app that lets you draw and type within the same note? This was possible in Windows Mobile, 10 years ago!!!
All the programs available seem to at best be able create drawing notes separately from typing note, WTF?

Hey dummy, read the post above yours.
I can confirm this. FlexT9 works great on the Transformer. It does an AWESOME-fast Swype style. Then it also has a handwriting-recognition mode that allows you to write within any app.
Screw note-taking apps, when you have a keyboard like this you don't need them.
The post above mine previous (#6) mentions two things:
FlexT9: an input method, not a program that supports scribble drawing & text notes
EverNote: an notes program, without any scribble drawing support
Care to enlighten me with your wisdom again?
+1 for flexT9, it is now my keyboard of choice too, much quicker than handwriting or typing in my opinion.
There is another note taking app called Tabnotes, currently under development. It looks very promising and could potentially be the killer notepad app. Works really well with handwriting with a stylus.
A trial is available on the market for you to try out, the program has been developed with tablets in mind.
At present you cannot use keypad entry, I have emailed the developer of the app for this function, we'll see what happens.
i am using writepad with Evernote and it works flawlessly. I was nervous because the writepad application cost $10. But if you go to the developers site you can test it free for24 hours.

Do you know if this will sync with multiple devices?
Edit - I found out it currently does not sync with multiple devices.
All you have to do is purchase on phone and sideload it, it will let you download data directly from tablet, at 1mb per second, it took about 7 mins for the whole process, 400mb download and data install. Go buy now, best 5 bucks ever spent.
Ps. I bought using my evo 3d, which also runs the game perfectly.
Edit: before you start asking, how to sideload it:
Dropbox, gmail, titanium backup, blue-tooth, etc. It also verifys market, so make sure you buy it.
excellent news, I did download the app, but got error parsing package message. Also says incompatible with my p6200, lets hope for the best for us 3g guys.

Try downloading with phone, then sideload it. It should work since it works for dell streak, even though it is android 2.3, it is a 7 inch tablet. It worked on my SGT7+ wifi, it should work on Tmobile. Just make sure you purchase it.
Downloaded but seeing quite a bit of lagg. Replacing user data files with GSII files now hoping that they will fix it
Which version do you have? Wifi or 3g? Also did you just sideload apk, and download data from tab, or copy both. Mine has no lag whatsoever with the data download directly to tab. I also have no lag with the data downloaded from my evo 3d. They both work perfectly. I also recommend using the analog steering and driving controls.
I sideloaded the .apk and let it download, had lag, so I replaced the data files with ones for the GSII from a site I found. No lagg now, just had to reset the controls as it aligned them for the S2's resolution. I don't have another Android device so I had to go the less legal route to get the APK, but I have bought the game on the iPad so I don't feel bad about it. Thumbs down to Rockstar for not having the compatibility in order

Come one bro, dont include those details, as it can get you booted.
Also what type of lag were you referring to?
FPS issues in the entire game, basically. Driving around was very laggy and basically unplayable
The game is great and works better on 7 inches than the 10 inch iPad imho... just hope rockstar gets a grip and fixes compatibility settings. As a new Android user I can't even begin to express how utterly idiotic this issue with erroneous compatibility blocks is

Oh ok, mine still seems very responsive, Ill try other data file from other phones i have. Ill post results later. Yup, thats the problem with android fragmentation, but either way any android phone beats an iphone.
No...it doesn't. Believing that is just pure bias as there is no, and probably never will be, an OS that beats the other on everything. That's why I have one of each.
Youre still very new to this community, give it some time, to the infite modifications and freedom android gives you.
Customizing something all the way to Mars is nice, but still doesn't make up for lack of apps. I've been using the iPad in ways that physically aren't possible on Android because of the lack of certain apps and types of apps
give me an example and Ill try to tell which apps are available. I have over 400 apps installed. I go thru the apple catalog and I only see nonsense apps, or social apps, how many of those do you need. But its true there are more apps, but almost all are already in android. Maybe not the market but getjar, amazon market, appbrain and more.
Ok, here's a challenge for you, and if you do manage to find an app, you will be my hero:
One of my most used apps on the iPad is a certain type of note taking app. I say a certain type rather than a specific app as there are quite literally dozens of these available on iOS now. This type of app will let me import documents - minimum requirement is PDF, but more types is better - and write on top of them. So far Android has alternative. Then you get to the most important feature, magnification mode. The way this works in all of said dozen apps is that you have a window at the bottom of the screen that shows a small portion of the screen magnified. This allows you to write big letters and have it be shrunk down. These boxes are resizable and can be set for various zoom levels. They also have auto-advance, meaning that when you get to the end of the box it automatically moves it so you just write from the beginning again. This way you can write sentence upon sentence just as you would on paper, and just as accurately, even with a normal capacitive stylus. Other features that are often in these apps include the ability to insert images, machine text, web clips, audio recordings etc. You will also need to have the ability to export PDF. There are apps on android that can annotate PDF, but not at that level. All semester I've been using the iPad and nothing but the iPad both in lectures and outside, scanning paper documents using Scanner Pro and an external camera, annotating them (this is why just text editing is useless - I need to be able to have 100% control over size, placement, angle etc of the text on a page, underline and make arrows and drawings all over the place, not just write some text down) and storing them for reading. Just had an exam with 900 pages worth of curriculum and notes, all read on the iPad, and created on the iPad to begin with in the case of notes.
That kind of app in particular is crucial, and it has to be able to do exactly what I mention here, no "almost" with missing the magnification mode etc. They even provided all the lecturers with iPads this fall, and they've been using the same types of apps connected to projectors via VGA (try finding a VGA adapter for the galaxy tab, btw ).
This is just the ultimate example though, as it's not only the type of app I've used the most, but it's an app that is 100% productivity. No widgets, games or anything like that - it's a productivity issue, and an issue for Android's usability in settings outside of people who like to watch videos and play with ADWlauncher (which also includes me in my spare time, hence why I have an Android tablet).
Other examples off the top of my head: Splashtop's secondary product, xDisplay. It doesnt exist on Android (yet), and it's an example of an app where I don't care if there are "similar products" - it's the system I'm invested in and missing apps from major services like that is an issue. I could also bring up apps that have some sort of equivalent, but far from anything that works as good. Goodreader on the iPad -> ezPDF on Android, much less powerful app. Scanner Pro -> CamScanner, same thing, and they even broke 7.0 plus compatibility in the last update. There's no direct access app for the educational system my school uses, Classfronter, which isn't really an issue due to browser access but still an issue as it's slower. No good alternative to Reeder either, not that I've found anyways.
Education in itself is an interesting field. There are so many apps that make the iPad a powerful tool for both teachers and students on iOS. How about the ability to annotate documents wirelessly using Syncpad, an app that streams the image on screen to any HTML5 browser that's connected to the internet (not just local wifi)? Used that one a lot. Replaynote, letting you do notes and commentary and have it automatically turned into a video that you can send off to help people. Dictionary apps; when you study ENglish like I do, "a dictionary" isn't enough. You need as many as possible. That's iOS, not android.
Enough productivity. Fun apps. BBE's app has brought a music enhancement technology, that so far has only been licensed to Cowon for portable use, to iOS. There's no comparison to EQs in apps like Poweramp. Flipboard, awesome RSS reader that I use instead of Reeder when I want to relax, not read feeds for work. Tried Pulse, not the same, or even close. Neither is Currents. Zinio is luckily on both OSes though there are several magazines that are only available through Newsstand. Connecting the iPad to a synthesizer via USB and playing around with it on an amateur level is always fun.
Enough examples.
I love my 7.0 Plus. I love how personal the homescreen is after tweaking it, Google Talk on it is awesome, it's the device I reach for to check email in the morning, I love using a Wiimote for games, i use it as a mouse and keyboard for my PC in bed, remote control utorrent, browse the web, as a flashlight at night (LOVE that), video support makes me weep tears of joy, read books that aren't scanned A4 documents (and hence possible to reformat for 7 inches) etc. It's a great device, which is why I have it. However it isn't perfect. There's plenty of room for both OSes in my life, for the exact reason that neither is perfect.
Repligo reader for first, lets you write on top of pdf files (shapes, text,highlight, selections,w/e), I use it in class alot, but also lean to quick office since I just use camera to copy what i dont feel like typing.
Currents instead of pulse, much better. Also with repligo everything should be capable to be done, what ios app are you refering to which can do all that.
splashtop is on android also.
I think I answered what you needed, to long to read over again, while trying to study for nueuro final.
How did you get the GTA apk to your Tab? I tried AppInstaller, but I get an "access denied" error when I try to export it?
*edit* Nevermind. I was able to get the apk using Root Explorer. Can't wait to fire it up!

you need root, and you can use root explorer to copy, to sd card. Make sure you click on r/w to be able to write and copy.
Hey Gnote owners,
My employer is buying me a tablet and I'm debating what to get. I'm a network admin and will hopefully use it to remote desktop back to work a little...I have a couple questions ..
If you use TeamViewer or another remote desktop app, does the S Pen function as the cursor?
Are there any other apps that you've found (other then the preloaded apps) that support the multiscreen?
I haven't tried teamviewer yet but will once I get home. And currently no the only apps supported in multiscreen are the stock ones but I am sure we can customize that with custom ROMs

I use Citrix reciever to connect to work and can say without a shadow of doubt that this beast takes productivity to a new level.
l can access all my work applications that are available on Citrix including Microsoft office and am able to use handwriting input on MS Word which is fantastic. Also when I am taking notesat meetings, I no longer have to type them out if I want to distribute them.
The S-pen can be used as a cursor and under pen settings you can turn on a pointer that shows where the pen will land before touching the screen.
You can also try Jump Desktop.

androidVNC works well.
I have a need to be able to share my meeting notes in a corporate environment. S-Note is not very sharable, as it exports to only PDF and a propritery format. I have a need to be able to share notes between my office laptop (win7) and GN10.1, so that it makes it worth to take meeting notes on my gn10.1.
I stumbled across OneNote mobile
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.office.onenote&hl=en
Has anyone used this app extensively? Can you initially create a note from this app and then share it on win7 laptop and resume editing there?
I will definately also try this myself today.. but just looking to see if someone already had a glowing or damning feedback on this app.
try evernote

Okay, onenote can also use cloud sharing to share notes between tablet and office laptop.
Considering I already have onenote installed in my office machine, this may be a better option than evernote.

The official OneNote Mobile app is very limited. It will not allow you to ink on your tablet, and I have had trouble displaying ink/graphics as well. Additionally, I think it only syncs via SkyDrive, and does not cache the pages on your tablet, which means that you have to have an active internet connection to switch between pages or notebooks.
There is a competing OneNote app that is a lot more powerful, but costs $15. (EDIT: To be clear, this app syncs with Microsoft OneNote, but is not made by Microsoft.) I bit the bullet and bought it a week ago, and am very happy with it so far. It allows inking on my GNote, seems to display all pages exactly as they are seen on my PC (well the fonts maybe different, but it displays all pics/ink/text in the right relative size and location), and gives more sync options (Dropbox or SkyDrive or other cloud services or USB sync).
Its called MobileNoter. I bought the SE HD version and am loving it, and have not had any problems with loss of data that some of the reviews mention (be sure to read them!). Here is the link.

Thanks for the tip. seems like a good lead. I will download a trial version and work it out.
$15 is not too much to ask for if it's functional, good and compatible.
I hope microsoft does something about Onenote mobile... improves it
Maybe with win 8 tablets....

I agree that MS should offer a better OneNote mobile client. But maybe OneNote is going to finally be promoted as a flagship offering for windows pcs once the tablets come out?
On that note, and I am probably jinxing myself by writing about it, Lenovo just told me they are going to send me a free Windows 8 powered Thinkpad Tablet 2 to replace the crappy Android Thinkpad Tablet that has been in the shop for the 3rd time in less than a year, for over 2 months now. The rep told me that they can no longer source parts to build the brand-new TPT they promised me, so "would I mind" being upgraded to the Windows 8. I am pretty ecstatic at this possibility, as I have long loved Thinkpad Tablets running Windows but have often found them too costly...
Congrats! Mine is going back in for the 2nd time.

I used MobileNoter before MS released their official Onenote app and liked (like) it more than the Microsoft version. The only problem that I had with it was the need to run a mobilenoter sync app on the PC to sync my pages.

Maybe this is new since you used it- it can now be synced in several ways, including cloud services like Dropbox. I use Dropsync with Dropbox to fully cache my OneNote folder on my GNote, which then syncs both ways via Dropbox to my PC instance of OneNote. Works perfect so far.

I also use Mobilenoter, SE on my Note 1 and HD on the 10.1. I generally create on a laptop and sync using FolderSync and Dropbox as the built-in sync always fails on some of my notebooks and the incremental sync never works (they are several hundred meg in size though)
Other than that I find it fantastic for viewing my notes. Once the Samsung keyboard comes out I'll be trying to create them on the note as well, in fact that is my primary reason for getting the tablet.

I use Onenote mobile and it is reliable and stable. Such a shame it does not handle inking on my 10.1 or it would be perfect. Sync is reliable and quick and my notes are large.
Mobilenoter is good but clunky to use and edit. Sync is very slow and unreliable so I use a separate notebook for inking on yhe go which I sync and use on a desktop and the kmport to my notes.

Since then i switched to onenote that i can read, write and sync on my device
Note taking is a big part of what i need samsung note PRO and would like to know how onenote works with spen
I know that since few months onenote gets hand writing input
I'm looking around even under windows tablet but most of them has problem with wacom digitalizer or are to small

It still leaves a lot to be desired. The basic modifications work but the biggest problem is the lack of undo/redo in onenote. I sometimes use it but most of the time resort to 3rd party apps (i.e. LectureNotes). In my opinion, the tech companies are indifferent to the problem and there is still no perfect solution for a paperless life. That being said, Note pro is the closest.
I use Onenote on my Note Pro 12.2 almost every day. I take pages and pages of notes. It is not as full featured as on Windows (I sold my SP3 to get this) but it is good enough and the effortless syncing to my office/home/laptop make it incredibly useful. Without sync, I would use one of the other options.
If you can pick up the i3 SP3 for a good price, it might be a better option if all you do is take notes or want a laptop replacement. I still prefer android as a tablet os so I made the switch from the SP3.
I've sent you a PM also..
I also used to use Note 8, but was a bit small for note taking at work so have been using 12.2 size now for some time. I think just like you, I want to get away from S Note app (am stuck bad) and start using One Note. One Note actually works fine.
My question is how did you transfer all the old S Notes to One Note? Did you use any option to Auto export to PDF in one go? or any other tool... ?
Thanks for your help.
Undo and edit - AND especially a share function! These things are REALLY missing.
It barely works for me. So slow synching and last time I tried to create a new note it went off for a minute and then said it had failed.
