Samsung eBook

If you update the stock eBook app via Samsung Apps, it will have a very nice PDF reader, with an interface similar to the official Adobe Reader app for Android, but with support for highlighting and drawing. (like ezPDF)

One important feature missing, though: a search function. But they're working with Adobe, so maybe it will be in a future update.

I ignored the update before since I didn't use e-books but I decided to install it so the '1 update available' message in Samsung Apps would go away. :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] galaxytab1:
Is it in s-choice or Samsung apps? What is the name? I couldn't find it :(

Also, tapping the dots individually would automatically bring you to that screen. This is applicable in the app drawer as well.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rerp:
It's simply called "eBook"

I think it's supposedly pre-installed because it comes up in Samsung Apps as an update. Here are a couple of pics that may help:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rerp:
Yes, I do! The interface is also similar to Reader's Hub. I bought it here in the Philippines but it's apparently a UK version when I first turned it on. The update has been there from the beginning but I chose to ignore it for a while.

Here's my tip:

Most of the G Note purchased on the internet are for Europe, and come with an adapter that is incompatible with North America. The interim solution is to get an converter, but it is bulky altogether.

The small charger for iPod and iPhone works 100% with the G Note, as it is rated at 1A, same as the stock Samsung charger. It charges as quick as the stock charger (which is much faster than charging by plugging it to the computer).

You can buy it on ebay for less than $5, and it is smaller in dimension too.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] galaxytab1:
Tip part: Samsung Social Hub helps you answer a call with some news about the caller if you have added them via Samsung Social Hub. And there are apps (like this one https://market.android.com/details?id=com.finmouse.android.callreminder) which help you remember what to talk to your professional contacts by assigning them with notes. There is a shortcut to s-memo in the phone app too which you can find by pressing menu during a call. The contact specific notification setup can be achieved with tasker too.

Idea part: I see justice to Note being done only if one could assign not just reminders but handwritten notes from s-memo to contacts. When you receive a call, you can see reminder for that contact, write on it while on the call and see those new notes next time you call that contact or get a call.

Can anyone get this to work???

Screen brightness

Not sure if this has been mentioned already (too lazy to read through 20+ pages ;) ) but if you long touch and hold the dock bar at the top of the screen, you can control the screen brightness by sliding your finger left/right. Found by accident!

Widgets don't always look good:

1. Most don't have 5x size for your	Note

2. Some are downright ugly and look like a blotch on your homescreen (Steve Jobs just turned in his grave)

Here is an app that can help:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.calciumion.swipepad.addons.widgetpad

(widgetpad)

It is a part of swipepad suite but works alright as a shortcut on the homescreen. Click on the shortcut to expand widget. Neat.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] galaxytab1:
Can't stop stumbling on new features on the Note even after weeks :)

Here is another:

In contacts, we usually search using the text box at the top. If you hold down the menu button (aka search) you will find yet another text box at the top to search with. Now the good news is that this includes online search as well which means you can directly lookup your company address book with it. Quite useful. (you need to have your company email configured)

No screenshots this time, corporate contact details there on it.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] galaxytab1:
You probably need to keep screen on when using certain apps (like when reading), in that case you can use either 'screen on' or 'keep screen' apps.

If you want to keep it always on until you manually turn it off, there are some widgets which you can find by searching for screen on timeout etc

search content of text messages

Hi Guys,

I found the hints very useful and I would like to share one. I think it was not shared before.

You can search the content of your text messages if you the hold MENU button in the main screen of the messaging app. You can also get that by touching MENU button and then SEARCH.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pantweb:
Great hint! Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] endeso:
Actually, holding menu its to use the search in any application. Holding menu it's the same that pressing the search key in other phones.

Ninja a Tip from a german forum if you open Smemo with the Spen and button holding and double clicking on the display then if you Tap and hold it on the Space to the left free side with Spen or finger the Smemo hides and you can see the app you where looking before opening Smemo So you can check for what you where making the notes, notes from a Ebook newspaper a Webpage or a doc/pdf file.

Btw Handwriting with the Spen has bin improved a lot with the hand recognition from the last time. even the space should be more easier to access. hope it does correct my words.

change the voice of your note (TTS)

GN has "text to speech" (TTS) function integrated with the system. It can be used by external apps too, e.g. navigation, or apps that read text messages aloud. There are two voices built in by default: Samsung TTS and Pico TTS. You can change them by going to Settings ->Voice input and output ->Text-to-speech settings.

However both of them sound quite mechanistic and robotic. I found there are voices available on the app market that sound more natural, have country specific accent and you can hear intonations. Most of them are paid but "IVONA Text-to-speech HQ" is currently for free and its great.

When you install this app, open it, open the link and download a voice of your choice (american, biritish, australian english, german, spanish etc.). Once this is done go to "text-to-speech settings" and "install voice data". Then "tick" IVONA as the engine of your choice (at the bottom) and set it as default engine (it sounds similar but these are two different options to set). Tap "Listen to an example" to ensure your new voice has been installed correctly. Enjoy your phone talking smooth natural language.

It worked for me with Vlingo (in built and downloadable app), google sat nav, majority of apps that read out the text and text messages or emails.

Transform your G-Note into a torch

G-Note has quite strong flash light. Ideal to use as a torch.

There is an app called "flashlight" that comes with a 1x1 size widget. If you put the widget on your home screen, it works as ON/OFF switch of the flash light without opening any applications.

I found this very handy.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Tomdroid:
Also, I don't think it sounds that much better at all. Under Samsung TTS there's Voice Effects. When set to high voice, it comes pretty close to a natural, female voice imo.

How to get Push Gmail working with the Samsung Social Hub & Email apps

Problem:

The "normal" Gmail account isn't automatically recognized, neither by the Social Hub nor the Email app. So the streamlined and extended communication possibilities (as seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=4GPCPFumTw0) aren't usable with Gmail.

One can manually set up a Gmail account within the Social Hub (basically mirroring the already working Gmail account from the device), however this will not allow push since it'll only work as imap.

Solution:

Source: http://community.giffgaff.com/t5/He...-Galaxy-Note-email-client/td-p/2531957/page/2

Go to accounts and set up a new Exchange Account with the following settings - you need to do this using the manual setup!

Email address: yourgmail@gmail.com

Password: Your Gmail password

Domain/User Name: google\yourgmail@gmail.com

Exchange server: m.google.com

SSL: checked

As you'll see, this allows for syncing of email, contacts, calendar, tasks and of course offers all the advanced settings, syncing schedules and security features that come with Exchange (read: far more than standard Gmail).

Going back into the Email app, you'll instantly have the Exchange-Gmail account there, same goes for Social Hub (and S-Planner).

Now when adding contacts, tasks, calendar items, one get's asked which account to use for adding items. Using the Exchange-Gmail account I've tested this in both syncing directions (phone <-> pc) and emails, contacts, tasks, calendar all synced just as if I were using the standard Gmail account.

I've now disabled all direct Gmail account syncing since it seems to work just fine using the Exchange-Gmail only. If someone thinks this might be a bad idea, please let me know why!

Things to consider:

You can disable syncing the standard Gmail account but you can't remove it since the market etc. depend on this.

You can selectively enable/disable syncing of contacts, calendar, tasks in either the Exchange-Gmail or standard Gmail account settings. Just make sure each item gets synced somewhere!

S-Planner (and other calendar apps/widgets) will show double entries for all Gmail calendar entries. Just go into settings -> calendars and uncheck the standard Gmail account. It'll then only show entries from the Exchange-Gmail account.

Don't think this was noted yet, if it was, apologies.
