[Q] Size of S pen window and media player for pen window - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl

Is there a hack that enabled the pen window to be smaller? Currently It looks like the pen window takes at least 1/2 x 1/2 of the screen.
For a calculator, I would be happy to have a much smaller window.
A second, related question is about a media app that works well on the pen window. I'd like to easily be able to start/step/select music while reading a PDF.
(Reading notes while hearing the matching music). I'm using ES File explorer, but everything is much too small. It is hard to hit the right buttons. I'd like an app that displays nice big buttons in a small window. Does that exist?
Thanks a lot!

If I click the Spen on the screen and choose pen window I can draw the window any size I want.
My question is how can I add apps I might want to open in the pen window?

Strange. On my Note 10.1, no matter how small I try to draw the window, the smallest it can be is a quarter of the screen.

There's an app that can enable any apk for working in the window. It is called MW-PEN App Enabler. Look for a thread discussing it.

Thanks.....I'm stock 100%. If that makes a difference I don't know.....

I'm stock, too. rom version MK1. Can you make sure that the window can be as small as you want?
Is that for the original size of the window, or also for resizing? When I try to resize my window smaller than 1/4 of the screen, it stops
resizing, and the edges turn red (resize by dragging the corners/edges)

It looks like it depends on the app, 1/4 of the screen to bit smaller.....The pen app, mw pen will not work for me. Sounds like each tablet is a little different.....

The MW app is not totally trivial to get working.
First pick an installed app. Click 'Pen Window enable'. Then click process. Then click uninstall. Then click Install.

S-pen note widget

Anyone come across a widget that you can write notes on directly? The s note widget is ok but it opens the native app before you can start writing. Was looking for something that I could write on the widget itself.

There are 2 s note widgets. Use the s note (page) widget. It works great!

What about the built-in pop-up note where you double-tap on the screen with the S-Pen button pressed? Unlike the widget, this one pops up a floating notepad you can write on immediately, and when you finish you can save it into S Note.

That is truly a nice feature but I guess we are all looking for a widget that you can actually see what was written in the home screen. This is specially useful for the bigger screens like tablets but surely would work for the Notes as well.
Did you find something? I found go note widget but it works only with go launcher and i dont want it :/.

Pen window gimmick

Why does the app not just open in a window when you click Pen Window? What's the point in making you draw a box that has no relation whatsoever to the size or shape of the window the app opens in?
It's really annoying how if you're using the tablet in portrait format, the app always opens in portrait format regardless of the shape of the box you draw. So you waste loads of space if you want to watch a landscape format video on youtube in the window...

I have kind of wondered about this as well. I think it's just an excuse to use the Pen for something else. It's still a nice feature, even if it doesn't quite work like you'd expect. I use it to keep Hangouts handy when I'm doing other things.
I agree the little windows are really useful, just annoying to have to draw a box to get them to open! Would be really good if they did open in the box that you drew though...
Maybe a firmware update...
Search for "pen window launcher" in the play store. It works really well for me

I noticed if you draw the box portrait the app will be portrait and if you draw a wide box, it will be open in landscape so there's that.

That's the thing though - it doesn't! It always opens in the same orientation as the tablet regardless of the shape you draw. So you can't open a landscape window when you've got the tablet in portrait....

Why draw the box then? Why not just click on the screen where you want it?

This is a classic, "We do it because it can." Wow your neighbor feature from Samsung Labs. Useless but interesting.
I've disabled air command now (so I can use the button function in lecturenotes without the air command popping up)
I use pen window launcher for the windows, button + long press for screenwrite, and button + double tap for action memo.
Don't use scrapbook or s-search...

[Q] How to internet resize and settings question? How to minimize and close?

1.Hello, so the old note 10.1 has a "resize/multi window" button on the top right corner, how do I resize the internet browser in the 2014 edition w/o going into multi-window mode? As in just dragging the window a bit smaller?
2. Also, for settings - is it possible for settings to be in multi-window mode? I'd rather have it on the side so I can browse the internet while playing with the settings?
3. Anyway to close the internet browser by just pressing "x" in the corner or somewhere?
4. Also, how to resize apps like gallery w/o doing multiwindow?
5. Anyone else experience lag a bit w/ BT keyboard? When I get the word "English (US)" on bottom I always experience a bit of lag? Fix? I disabled onscreen keyboard.
6. For registering the $600 dollar parks, it keeps saying incorrect serial number and MAC address? I cannot seem to register.
Thanks!

You don't. If you want a resizable window open the browser in Pen Window using Air Command. Once you do, when you minimize it, you'll get a floating icon that lets you use your N10.1-14 normally but by clicking on the icon you can then open the browser at any time. A Multi View option like what you know as "Cascade" on the old Note is coming in the 4.4/M-UX update.
Also, for settings - is it possible for settings to be in multi-window mode? I'd rather have it on the side so I can browse the internet while playing with the settings?

No. But using the above you can open a browser and have it running on top of anything else you want.

If you have a single browsing session up clicking "X" on its tab closes it and ends your Internet session (hitting "back" exists out of the browser). If you have multiple tabs open hit the menu button and select "close all."

No resizing, other than Pen Window apps, until 4.4/M-UX.

Do you have a Groupon refurb? It may have been previously registered. If not, contact Samsung support they've been pretty helpful according to those that posted issues getting the perks credit.

Woah, thanks. This was so helpful.
Another 3 questions:
1. Last one Moon reader+ supported multi-window and where I would just minimize moon reader and have the internet in the background? Is there any way to do this or do I wait until next update for casacae mode? Moon reader+ is a ebook reader btw. I was also able to move Moon Reader+ around wherever I wanted. I can't seem to do that here.
2. Bluetooth keyboard tends to lag in LectureNotes (badly) and has a slight, but annoying lag in QuickOffice. This doesn't seem to happen in Polaris Office, or when I do short typing. But once I type longer it starts lagging and sometimes English(US) pops up and cause more lag. Anyway to fix this? thanks.
I have Microsoft Wedge and this worked perfectly on my Note 10.1 2012.
Also, anyway to resize and move applications around that used to support multi-window? Like resizing any way you want to, not just to the right or left. How come some had multi-window in previous Note, but not anymore in this one? Like lectureNotes?
3. Another odd one is Polaris Office 5 says it cannot open a .docx file right after I downloaded it because it isn't supported. But it works fine when I look for it in file browsing in PO5.

Handwriting recognition

Are there any good handwriting recognition (handwriting to text) applications that run on the 1NotePro 2.2? I haven't been able to find one that works.

Not sure what kind of app you are looking for. Keyboard? Notepad?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.visionobjects.notesmobile does an excellent job with handwriting to text in a notepad. Pricey, but it does exactly what it says it will do. They also make a great free handwriting keyboard so you can test out how well it reads your handwriting.

Looking for something I can use to take handwritten notes during meetings and have it convert them to text on my NotePro 12.2. Your suggested app looks like it might work. Wish there were a trial version. I'm tired of buying apps that sound good but don't do what I want them to.
Sent from my SM-P900 using Tapatalk
This feature is already built in, as far as I can tell...I mean when I'm in a note taking app (any of them) or an office app, and I use the SPen instead of the keyboard, it opens a beige writing bar thing to write on. When I write, it converts that to text. Works like a charm...I take notes this way in SNote all the time.

You have two options. 1. Select the text input option so your keyboard come up. Then pull out your spen. If the keyboard doesnt become a writing pad the press the option key next to the spacebar and hold it until you can select a settings icon. This will take you to the keyboard settings. Then you can set the keybaord to detect the spen. From then on any time you remove the pen the keyboard will switch automatically. 2. Write normally with the pen in snote. Then select the lasso tool and surround the text you wrote and select the option that says transform. Then select text and it will convert it.

People say sNote works what if you happen to use the OEM keyboard?
I can not use the OEM keyboard it is way too big and ugly on the other hand Swiftkey with a floating tiny keyboard is perfect.
Seems like MyScript Notes Mobile does exactly want pull out the stylus notes automatically converted to text.
$10 app maybe worth it.

What's wrong with Evernote that comes with the device?.. It also has 12 months premium included to store notes in the cloud... It recognizes the handwriting (even my russian one) with native keyboard...
What's the better for Notes Mobile?..
I am really curious.

Use MyScript Stylus Beta
If you are looking for a good "writing text" and conversion of this text, you need to try MyScript Stylus Beta (same creators of MyScript Calculator and MyScript Notes Mobile).
They point with this "keyboard" (replace the keyboard for a line where you write) is really one of the best (or the best) to d othis job and on top is free (ok ok Beta version but really in a excellent mature level)
When I tried to stock one, there was a pause during recognition. Which app is the best in terms of conversion speed and accuracy?

Any good clipboard apps for s-pen?

I'd love to have a clipboard app that's quickly accessible through the air command menu. Right now I use clipper but it goes to the full screen app. I'd love instead some sort of easily dismissable menu/widget. Any suggestions?

Replace instagram with the clipboard app (which I currently do with Clipper). But instead of opening a full screen app, it opens a small floating window that can be easily dismissed.
