Hello!
I just got a Samsung Galaxy S21 a few days ago, and I am trying to figure out a way to use either Live Messages or Handwriting (the feature in the Samsung Messages app that let's you draw gifs to send as texts).
It seems to have been removed because while there are videos of people using this feature when the phone first came out, those options don't show up on my phone. After speaking with Samsung several times, they finally told me that those features are for phones with S-Pen support. This doesn't seem right, as I know people with Galaxy S8's and S9's who can at least create GIFs to text via Handwriting in Samsung Messages.
Is there a workaround or APK download to fix this? I've tried several, and while I finally found a version of Live Messages in APK Mirror that would install, I can't find a version of Samsung Neural Keyboard that will work because they keep crashing.
Is there anyone who could help me find a solution please? I'd be happy to provide any additional info that may be needed. Any input would be amazing. I don't know where else to turn for help or insight.
Thank you!

hi, considering getting this tablet but i would like to know if i can write emails or texts using the s-pen .
is it as simple as clicking on the keyboard option for s-pen and write your text and it will be converted and then send email?
thanks
does anyone in new york know a good place to view and get hands on with 10.1?
have tried best buys but the tablets are either broken are have no power and the sales guys are idiots. samsung used to have a showroom but left months ago.
You can convert handwriting to text with the stock samsung keyboard anywhere you input text.
Try B&H?
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 there,
It arrived today and I was hopeful having owned the original. Aside from the lovely build and feel of it, I can't help but think that Tizen has ruined it a bit.
At the moment, I think its going back to Amazon, unless there's an easy way to do the following, and if anyone can pitch in, I'd be grateful:
Tasks/ToDos: I use Any.do which hasn't got any Tizen app/integration. Is there a good tasks app that syncs to an S5 and is usable like Any.do
Notes: I use Keep or Evernote and the lack of Evernote app is extremely disappointing, what am I going to use the camera with!? Is there anyway to use these services via an app? Or similar.
Maybe there's a way that this all just works with the built in Samsung apps on the S5 and I just haven't figured it out. Maybe the Gear Live was the better option...
No a good list/tasks app isn't there yet. There are many in the store, but all have issues i really don't like.
At the moment i use GearNotes and i created a note with my lists. So only viewing on the watch and not checkin the items.
Hi there fellow's readers.
From a while now I noticed that auto check spelling option does not work with Samsung Internet browser all the time.
I have to mention that I always keep predictive text off cause I really hate this option. Even so, those two options are not related, so they can work independently.
I never use other browsers (not even Chrome) or 3rd parties keyboards.
Any suggestions or a way to fix this?
Thank you!
So I'm trying to get my mom into the smartphone world. She's older, rates a negative value on "tech savvy" scale. I've bought a Samsung on5 for this project. What is the best method to setup a phone in "mom mode"?
Ideally phone calls and video calls... No texting (one step at a time)
I'm trying to make it as few screens or icons as possible to avoid confusion. I know you can do contact shortcuts for calling. But I've never wanted or needed to setup super extreme easy grandma mode before so I'm out of my element.
Any advise would be appreciated.

If you had bought a Xaomi device, some versions of MIUI comes with a " child mode" which could've been useful in your case
But what you can do is uninstall any useless bloatware. Then temporarily freeze/hide any app that you don't want her using yet. Just leave the basics like the dialer and such.
Place them all on a single homescreen then lock the desktop (Nova & Go Launcher both offer this function). That way she can always find what she's looking for and her icons won't get deleted or misplaced accidentally.
Also, you could hide the app drawer as well (or just remove the app drawer icon from the home screen). That way she'll only have access to the apps you've placed on the single homescreen. There's also the issue of her accidentally messing up/accessing some settings from the QS panel.
But that's something I'll speak on only if it's a concern to you.
Doesn't samsung devices have easy mode? A quick google brought me this.
Hope I can help u out in this issue
MINIMIZE:
Start the process by reducing the complexity. Uninstall apps that your mom is gonna never use. Have the right no. of homescreens with the absolutely necessary apps and widgets set up.
LAUNCHER:
Wiser and Necta are two launchers perfectly suiting your need.They both provide large and simple icons in a clutter-free environment for easy access.
BACKUP:
Right from contacts to images and files on your phone needs to be backed up. Dont ever live with the fear of losing your data.
SETTINGS:
Rest of the changes lie in the Settings app.
Simple Pattern lock
Disable all Auto-Correct options
Choose the desired font size
And others too...
And there u have...'A MOM-FRIENDLY PHONE':good:
HIT THANKS IF IT HELPED

Yep. They have. Samsung Devices (including ON 5) have an 'easy mode' in settings app to greatly simplify its use. Xiaomi devices have 'Lite mode' for the same purpose.
I bought the on5 because it was cheap and since it's experiment I didn't want to go crazy. She only uses the phone for calls... No text.. Basically I wanted a way to video call... One of the big problems is except for me and my daughter who have android phones, the rest of the family are iPhone users.. So will have to use duo for video calls.
The rom I installed is pre rooted with pixel launcher and a bunch of cool stuff.... It's actually impressive considering the phones limited power. Useless for this particular instance.
I'll try and set it up and see how the mom experiment goes. Hopefully she won't get overwhelmed.
I sincerely appreciate all the replies! Thank you guys for taking the time.
If any one else has additional details or advice, keep it coming. Thanks again.

Since those 'cool stuff' find no place in this instance you can try flashing AOSP rom. This reduces the complexity of the Samsung's UI.
WhatsApp, FB Messenger, IMO, Skype, Google Hangouts are other options to consider for making video calls between iOS and Android
get a samsung and use the easy home launcher built in to samsung phone..
Samsung phones have easy mode. You can try that.
