Mobilenoter is a bit rubbish. Sync is expensive, and almost impossible to set up so it actually works. The SE edition avoids sync - but is a pay app and is only a viewer. We need a proper MS app.
Not sure if it has the same functionality, but I have evernote on my Galaxy tab, my HD2 and my PCs, and it's pretty much flawless.
Edit: Okay, I've checked and evernote does everything that I can see onenote doing, and more.
Nthing Evernote, probably your best bet for Android note-taking. Microsoft's stance re: Android is a bit... cautious, so I wouldn't hold your breath for OneNote.
I haven't used my droid and onenote but i do use Evernote. Syncs well between my droid and computer. Allows picts, voice recordings, etc.
i think onenote is much more advanced note taking program. Just cannot compare to evernote. I use both and both have very different fns.
Since microsoft released one for apple , i wish they release for andorid too..
Anyone know the latest on this?
I've recently tried to get into OneNote because my life consists of several different legal pads with my chicken scratch and no effective overall organization...I'd LOVE to start using OneNote, but it's value diminishes if I can't both access AND edit on my EVO 3D.
That said, so far it looks like my choices and their corresponding negatives are:
(1) Use OneNote on my PC and MobileNoter on my Android
-As noted above, the problem here is that the "free" MobileNoter requires an expensive sync service and is buggy, and the $8 up-front version only lets you VIEW and not EDIT..
--Why the **** are those our choices?? literally ALL I need here is a way to view and edit on my phone...I can SEND and RECEIVE the OneNote file MYSELF using my dropbox/skybox etc. Is the "free" MobileNoter LOCKED or something? What I mean is that if MobileNoter has the ability to edit OneNOte files, then it should be GOOD to GO and I can simply pull files from my own cloud services and upload them back after editing...but it looks like I can't even ACCESS MobileNoter's functionality w/o signing up for and installing it's "sync client"....?? I'm assuming it was simply done this way for the developer to make money, ya?
(2) EverNote
-Some here say not as good as OneNote, and I tend to agree
-$5/month....right??
So IMHO, all we really need is an EDITOR...I don't really mind manually uploading to cloud from my PC and mobile, then having to open that file and save over old versions once I hop on my other device....

MobileNoter (the app that is free in Android Market and requires the Windows Sync Client for sync with OneNote) and MobileNoter SE (the one that costs $8 and can sync with Dropbox and SkyDrive) are two different applications. Though they have the same GUI and look similar to user, they are different from the technical point of view.
MobileNoter uses the same sync mechanism as the iPhone version of the app, which had arrived in 2009. At that time that was the easiest way to establish synchronization with OneNote. Also, because the license check was performed on the server side it allowed (and allows) users to change their phone or PC and not to lose their license.
MobileNoter SE is a completely new app that can work with *.one files by itself and doesnt require any additional software. It doesn't have page editing capabilities yet only because that part of application code cannot be taken from the original MobileNoter, so it is still in development. In MobileNoter SE 2.0 editing features will appear.
I understand that they're two different applications, and I understand their different capabilities--I just didn't and don't get why I can't just use MobileNoter (not SE) without using the sync client at all--in other words, just use the program for its editing capabilities, and then upload/sync my files on my own.
Guess I'll be waiting for MobileNoter SE 2.0.....
OneNote is my go-to app in Win7; the others don't compare. I use catch notes to make quickies, then manually add them to OneNote when I get home. sigh.
I also bought into mobilenoter early on, and they're decent people, but the app just isn't much more than a viewer. When I have been able to make notes on my phone and sync them back to my network, it was jibberish. (Anyone else have that issue?)
But I recently started using Windows Live from android, and I love it; bookmark the calendar, you've got a syncing calendar app that's not google (I'm all for competition!)
And it SEEMS there should be a way to access/use my SkyDrive (ie, ONE NOTE!) web apps from a browser, but no luck so far w/ stock or Dolphin broswer.
Is there an app [yet] for using the Live web apps? Because then we'd be able to access our ON notebooks (and hopefully edit them!) with a freakin bookmark link!

I totally agree Mobilenoter is hopeless it only seems to find half my notes and not being able to create a note is next to usless.
I don't understand MS' unwillingness to make an Android client.
They make more $ on Android phone sales than they do on WP7 phone sales.
I tried mobilenoter synced with skydrive, it works but errors out if you have images inserted....
I use onenote on both win 7 tablet and work pc synced with skydrive. Had to create a section just for android and sync that and not use images. Pretty limiting when i cant use images.

Such problems can occur if you use OneNote 2007, because MobileNoter SE is designed for OneNote 2010.
i was using onenote 2010,- does not like images at all with skydrive.
at last onenote android is on market but only for 2.3+
and I don't want to void my waenty on my new phone but it runs well on 2.3 mod on my Vodafone 845.
Mobilenoter can read ink notes but sync fails on images and is v....e.....r.....y... slow with skydrive.
MS onenote can sync images and fast but doesn`t read ink.
But isn't this typical with software.
I am developing an application which simply opens a PDF with adobe reader on Android. Right now, when the user clicks the application, the user is presented with the option to use a few different PDF readers.
I want to write code into my application that forces Android to open PDFs with Adobe Reader.
Is this possible?
Thanks
Why gmail, drive, calendar, etc. doesn't work good on ie app and desktop?

You answered your own question.
Microsoft will write their own APIs for the Metro/Modern interface to gain a favorable advantage to their own products. They wouldn't want you to be saving your documents in Google Drive or updating your Gmail calendar/contacts.
For that functionality, you would have to use the desktop edition of Google Chrome (but this is besides the point of using Windows 8 as opposed to Windows 7).
Microsoft like Apple will do things to make it difficult for Google to become "compliant" in being able to write apps (as opposed to desktop applications) for the Metro interface.
Uh, Gmail and Google Docs work fine for me in (desktop) IE10 (RT 8.0) and IE11. Not sure about the "modern" mode of IE; seriously, you would have to pay me handsomely to make me use that garbage when there's a full-featured browser built into the OS.

Same here, Google apps works just fine in IE10 on my Surface RT (8.0). I'm not sure I've tried it in the modern mode either, but the desktop browser works great. There is also a Google search store app that you also use to access them, but I've found that to be slower than the browser and stopped using it.
There are no desktop sync programs for RT of course (or whatever is available for typical desktop windows).
So, from my tests (on the type of documents I have to use on a day to day basis) it seems that Hancom office is more capable than Microsoft Office. It can open desktop-created office files that MS Office on Android cannot. The only downside is that it doesn't use the correct fonts, which makes the documents look different to how they appear in the desktop. MS Office on Android, when it can actually open a document, displays perfectly. So, is there a way to allow Hancom to use the right fonts?
Many thanks.
Which Android MS Office App works best with non cloud environment?
Looking to use Excel, Word and other MS Office apps on my Note 8, but only want to use Note 8 to Laptop transfer direct for Excel or Word files. Unfortunately I do not always have reliable cell connections so want to use wire data transfer.
Does the official Microsoft Android apps work as well as the third party Apps?
