No more drawing or editing photos....? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently played with an S6 and found out that I couldn't draw on the edit option anymore. I'm not sure if they were store demo phones or not but coming from a note 4 I just wanted the ability to draw directions or highlights on a photograph like previous editions of the galaxy model.
Anyone have one that can do this?

Is there an S Note Popup?

We have a popup window available for S Memo by double-taping S Pen. But, is it possible to change this to an S Note popup like on the Note 2?
I doubt the existing S-Note application supports this float note sort of feature.. We would need the S-note apk from Samsung Galaxy Note II

Really want someone to port it. Don't want to waste money on a new device where, besides the better S Planner and S Note, I don't think it much better than its original.

It's only a matter of time, only wait for the Note 2 to become available .
Press 2 times with S-Pen on touchscreen

IMO in new note there is hardware part which like a small push button inside SPen holder so when we remove the SPen that indicates that pen is removed from the phone. By this way only its possible for new note to recognize spen is removed and using this method and accelerometer it identifies spen is left behind, so im afraid that we the Note1 people will get this feature with jellybean.

S Memo Lite is different from S Note Popup. S Note Popup lets you move the box around the screen.

Will we see expanded multi screen capabilities similar to the Note 2

I know no one has a crystal ball, but I wondered if anyone had seen or heard anything about expanded multi screen capabilities. The Note 2 allows gmail, chrome, YouTube, Facebook, twitter and more to be split screen. I would love that even more on our device, what with the bigger screen.

Not for sure but I would guess that will come with the jb upgrade
many are using the beta update can anyone confirm the same being present ?? I think most of the updates seen in note2 should come but after a certain period of time
Paul obrien has posted the modifications to insert in the applications code to make them work in note2 multiview. Do you know if the same code can be used to make them work in multiscreen on the note 10.1??? Thanks!

Use Selective focus, once captured, the saved image in Gallery allows you to save in different focuses.

i know but there is lot a difference between live focus and selective focus brother please check note 8 live focus and do not compare with selective focus.
I know, that only works if you have dual camera.

No, it can only work with 2 cameras, so unless you know a way of gluing on another camera, it ain't gonna happen.
The nearest we can get to it on the S8+ is by using selective focus or by using macro mode which can produce quite reasonable bokeh.
If so, how is it possible in A8+?

Sorry, I don't know the A8+.
The question was asked regarding the Galaxy S8+ specifically, and not all mobile phones in existence.
As you allude to, there are a multitude of devices that now implement a version of this using 'software' and the A8+ is probably one of these, as is also the Pixel 2 XL.
This hadn't been implemented on the S8+ at the time of my reply, but may now be present in some 'custom' ROM,s.
[Edit]
After doing some research on the A8+, I understand that it does actually have 2 front cameras.
It also notes that 'Live Focus' is available when taking 'selfies', ie using the '2' front cameras. In light of this, your 'trolling' of my original post makes absolutely no sense.
You're comparing apples (S8/+) to oranges (A8/+), one has a single camera on front and back = no 'Live Focus', the other has 2 on the front = 'Live Focus' when using front camera's.
Simple.

App to connect screenshots in one longer

Is there any screenshot app that woarks on non rooted pixel 2 equivalent to scrollshot on samsung or huawei devices?

I've used Stitchcraft from the Google Play Store for this which usually produces an acceptable result. They have a free version with ads if you want to try it out.

All the apps I've found suck hard. Even if you're rooted, it takes way too many steps to get a decent scroll shot where you manually stitch together multiple screen shots. IMO, Prepare to be disappointed until Android finally builds this into the stock software.

S Note

I can't find S Note in the Samsung store.. i totally rely on S Note for work. Samsung Note is not as capable. I've had to side load it, but why is it not available for Note 20 Ultra.

Try searching for just the APK on Google and then download and install it.

Yes that's what i did.. I'd just rather not have to. The extra features that you can download in S Note settings won't download now aswell.. it keeps saying not compatible with my device. It's so annoying of Samsung.

It's the older S Note by Samsung, not the current Samsung Notes. It's alot more useful.

There's no way i can see when cropping an image, or doing it free hand, crop any part the S Pen touches. And there is no shape menu. I like using the shapes in the Other menu in S Note when your add an image.. it's just alot more flexible and useful with S Note.

Yes it's more than annoying. Had to pain stakingly cut and paste all the memos I had on my S4+ to another format.
Never again will I trust this type of Sammy apk.
I use colornote now, still playing with it or I'll create a word document instead.
I miss the ease of rich text docs in Windows...

I'll check it out.. the integration with the Note Phones, the S Pen and S Note is such a good formula.. these companies have to be constantly changing things, trying to maximise profit and customer retention... Ruining efficient work flows, trying to create the next big thing... and even when they create the next big thing: they can't let it be good for long. Only Apple seems to keep things on an even level.. but their way of doing things is just not the best way in the first place.

ColorNote stores them as encrypted word docs apparently.
At least you have easy access to the folder to transfer them. It also maintains an internet connection which I don't like...
Anyone found anything better?
