Hello all,
Is it possible to change the default app from "s-notes" to autodesk "sketchbook pro" whenever the s-pen is removed from the phone?
I tried to set the "buddy" feature but that didn't work. ... maybe because sketchbook pro isn't officially s-pen enabled?
Anybody know a way to do this?
Thanks!
GP

You can change the shortcuts on the extra screen that pop up when you take the s pen off the phone just like any other screen.
Ok, so far the best I can do is uncheck Settings > S Pen > Open Popup Note, then turn on Settings > Display > Page buddy, tap the text part of that option to get to the S Pen page option and check it. Then, when I pull my s-pen, it will open a special home screen page that I can at least add shortcuts and widgets to.
However, this only works with the stock TouchWiz home launcher. Still looking for another option.

Can you guys pls tell if its possible to multi-task using S-pen i.e. can S-pen be used open the list of recent apps, the way long pressing home button does?
Thanks
Hey Everyone
Just a quick question and its probably been answered already or has a simple solution.
I have a Iphone 4's and have had the S3 before the note2, and have a little thing that just annoys me.
On the Iphone 4's and I think the S3 when I double tap the screen to zoom, It automatically fits the text into the screen.
But on the Note2 when I double tap it does zoom in to a readable distance but it doesnt wrap everything to the screen size.
So Although I can read I still have to scroll to the right to read what's off the screen if that makes sense?
I know I can change the zoom settings and I have it on medium because I like the distance when I double tap.
Is there something I am missing?
Thanks

I don't like the quick control setup. Is there any other way?
Thanks

now there should be screen splitted away automatically for two application but in my case its not splitting away,I tries to find settings for multi-window function did not find one.
PLS Help.
Hello, I tried to use S Note the first time. After choosing the front cover of the note and the background layout of the papers, a windows shows up saying download of files from old version. It asks if it is ok to download note of version older than the one I am using. What is that? Am I supposed to click OK?
After I pressed cancel, it asked me to choose between S pen specific mode and S pen and finger mode. I am not sure the differences. Which one do you recommend?
Thanks.
S Note allowes you to import S Note files associated with your Samsung account. Since the NotePro has the newest version of S Note, you get that mention of old versions. If you've ever used another S Note (for instance, on a Note 2), it can import them.
In S Pen specific mode, you can only write with the S Pen. In Pen&Finger mode, you can also use your finger to write and draw.
The options and settings work with your finger regardless of the setting.
Thanks but if I allow Pen&Finger mode, then there will be no palm rejection. Am I right? I am having this problem with Action Memo. It seems to accept both finger and S pen. There is no way to choose palm rejection.
Are you having issues with stray marks being made with your palm? It almost sounds like you are confusing palm rejection with completely rejecting finger input. In these native samsung pen enabled applications (S-note and Action Memo) palm rejection is built in and should work automatically when the pen is sensed near the screen. So while using the pen you should be able to rest your palm on the screen. Naturally if you specifically turn on pen and finger mode in s-note then the tablet will get confused by multi-touch input so while in that mode you shouldn't be resting your hand on the screen.

Yes. I am having issues with stray marks being made with my palm. In native samsung pen enabled apps, usually which option do users choose? If I choose only pen mode, can I still use my fingers to zoom in and out, erase using the eraser?
Now all those questions I mentioned do not show up on the screen. When I pressed S note, a black sheet appeared. The app did not ask me to choose the color of the note cover, etc. How can I choose the note's cover and whether I want pen only model or pen and finger mode?

Hit the gear icon on the top-right of the cover of the notebook. There you can change everything.

There are no other settings or options for the S-note application other than what you see in the settings menu.
Out of curiosity, are you using a case? If so, try removing it and testing without one. Report back if your experience improved without a case.
These tablets are sensitive to magnetic fields; believe it or not sometimes the magnets used in various case designs to either assist in keeping them closed or to turn on/off the screen will affect touch and pen sensitivity in some parts of the screen. For the case that I use I cannot fold the flap completely behind the tablet if I intend to use the pen to write on the bottom right side of the screen in landscape mode.
Thanks. On my Note, the gear button is on the bottom right. It only has four options: edit tab, edit index, change background, show grid. There is no option to change the dover and template.

FYI, you can't change templates once you create a book so there is no way to mix and match page types in a book. If you want that capability you'll have to look elsewhere. My only suggestion at this time is Papyrus. I currently use Lecturenotes because I like its features but mixing and matching of page types is not one of them.
If you want to change the background of a PAGE inside a note you go to the gear icon while inside the notebook. If you want to change the COVER of the notebook itself you back out of the notebook to see the list of notes and long press the notebook's cover (works whether youre in recent notes or the S-Note home screen) to bring up the menu to select Edit Cover.

Thank you. I am not trying to mix and match page type in a book.
Is template and background the same thing?
I tried to change the cover of the notebook but it does not work. I clicked the back button next to the home button of the PRO. On the home screen, I saw the calendar on the top left and instead of S-note's picture that I saw before I used the app the first time, there was a window with three tabs: recent notes, all notes and a plus symbol. (Is this what you called the S-Note home screen?) When I long pressed the notebook's cover, the device thought I was going to arrange the windows... Pressing the plus symbol created a blank page without asking me to choose the cover nor template.

It seems that what you suggested can only be done if I launch S Note by pressing its icon on the Application Screen. The problems that I just mentioned occurred when I launched S Note via the Home Screen. How come?
I don't know if there is a bug in the background (is it also called template?). When I chose a white background with lines, the background of the note looked correct. However, when I chose a brownish background, each line was divided into two. How come the lines are not continuous?

l suspect that you are launching it from a widget when launching it from the home screen. Its tough getting used to the workflow that the program developers set for these programs.
Templates and background are not the same thing. The best thing for you to do is experiment with making new notebooks using different templates so you can see the difference. When you launch s-note from the application screen, create a new notebook by clicking the three dots on the top right of either the S-note home screen or recent notes screen (by now you're probably aware that you can switch between these two using the button on the upper left corner of the screen) and selecting "Use new template."
I want to post some photos on this thread. How do I do it? I clicked on the "Insert Image" icon but it asked for URL rather than the location of the file.

Use the advanced page (eitehr click 'Reply' or 'Go Advanced'), then hit the attachement button. Select the pictures, hit upload, hit OK. Then hit the arrow next to the attachement button > Insert into post.
Thanks. I have attached some photos.
Even I set the size of the eraser to minimum, the gaps it created are still too wide (see eraser width.jpg). Is there any way to make it even smaller?
When I chose the background to be light brown with continuous straight horizontal lines (see selection.jpg), a vertical line was created (see broken line.jpg). How come? Is there a way to fix it?
Is there any good tutorial or video to learn about S Note? Most of the available ones are older versions for older devices. It seems that the one which came with our PRO is quite different. Thanks.
A large tablet comes with the price of greater hand/arm travel distance when working with the screen. I am by no means complaining any sore elbows here. But it does take some getting used to, especially for those coming from smaller (7" - 8") tablets. Over and over again when my hand moves up and down between the screen and the (home and capacitive) buttons, I can't help but wish I had multi-touch gestures like on an iPad.
If my GNP were rooted, GMD Gestures would have solved my problem. But I am not ready to trip that stupid Knox counter yet. So here we are.
I came across this app called All in one Gesture. It doesn't have multi-touch, but at least some simple 'swiping from edges' functions.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures
Let me share with you my experience on working with this app. First, after installation, you need to enable the app under Accessibility in Settings before you can activate/use the gestures. But soon, Android will warn you of disabling a whole bunch of functions as a result, including Multi window. See attachment.
The good news is, some of those functions can be re-enabled to work with All-in-one-Gesture without issues. I tested Multi window, Air view and Direct pen input and they all seemed to be working fine after re-enabling. (I don't use the others, but I suspect some other ones would work too). But you should exercise cautious when doing so. For example, Multi window requires swiping from right edge to activate; and so I should not use the swiping from right edge gesture. Currently, I only use swiping from left for the 'back' function, and swiping from bottom for the 'home' function.
The Back and Home functions are universal in all apps; e.g., they will work in Chrome browser, where I can swipe from left edge to go back to previous page, and swipe from bottom to exit app.
I also changed some settings in All in one Gestures. For example, I made the 'Edge Width' longer under 'Edge Preference', and also made the touch area transparent under 'Transparency and Color'. There are also settings for tweaking the swipe area and sensitivity. I haven't played with them to much, but they may become useful for certain games to avoid accidentally triggering the actions.
