[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mhz250:
hey guys! is there a way to change Samsung voice recognition by vilingo to Google voice recognition??

Google voice engine is better and servers work FAST in every country.

Vlingo is hell too slow... 15 seconds for each phrase (slow servers from my country)

thanks guys!

ps: Changing voice and input from phone settings WONT WORK, dont bother to answear that

ps2: IF WE CHANGE THIS SETTING:

people with other phones will be able to use this app. Actually Samsung blocks servers to every phone that it's not an SIII

You need a search engine and search for XDA Google Now .

Or start by reading the Google now post in General .

The idea is to use S VOICE, google now is not the same for samsung phones.

Please, do not recomend another app. Please, let's try to change the voice recognition of the S VOICE.

Thats the idea of this post

Thanks anyway.

S Voice is dead and will cease to exist for the SGS3 in a few weeks .

But good luck in trying to mod S Voice .

So I tried updating while rooted, and found that that couldnt be done.

So I unrooted, and now when I check for updates, it says everything is up to date.

I have had this thing since launch, so I know theres a few updates to download.

If anyone can help that would be awesome.

I also did clear cache

OTAs

I'm rather new to Android and rooting, but I've been rooted on my SGS3 since the beginning of July, so I've experienced several OTA notifications. I know you cannot apply an OTA when rooted, generally, but that most Developers will actually update their custom ROMs when a new OTA is pushed. That has been my experience thus far, and how I've "kept" my phone up-to-date. In the change logs you can usually identify which OTA their ROM is based on, and make your decision from that information. Also, I believe most OTAs are carrier-based and not necessarily intended to update the OS or UI, so some of them may not be necessary. The important thing is the baseband (modem) version, as this can directly impact your reception and data speed. There is an excellent tool intended strictly for flashing a new modem, developed by clark44. The link is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1816530

I would suggest starting at the top of the list, running that modem for at least 2-3 days, then flashing the next one and repeating the process - until you find the one that works for your phone, in your area, based on the places you visit the most frequently.

I hope this helps.

Are xperia s roms and mods and kernels work with Acro s ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] papacarla:
Only exclude kernel and baseband. The kernel from XS can work with Acro S but without external memory support.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AL PRINCE-:
OK what about roms ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] papacarla:
you can try to use any ICS XS rom;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AL PRINCE-:
is that dangerous ? it may cause damage or not ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] papacarla:
I can not tell you there is not any risk. Maybe you will do something wrong and get the brick.

But I tried 2.3.7 from acro hd and XS and it does not work well on acro s. It seems because of baseband. So, the last update of acro s is the same update XS.

If you flash the rom from XS you get the build.prop from XS and you will not be able to repair the phone by SUS. But there is not problem to reflash acro S rom by flashtool if something will go wrong.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] AndroidAble:
Well after 2 weeks of testing, I think I have to make the decision to use LectureNotes as my primary note taking application rather than SNote. It was tough becuase I would much prefer to use the native note taking app, but here are my reasons why in case it helps anyone else make their decision. To give a background and level set, I have been a tablet pc user for many years and have grown very dependant on OneNote for taking customer meeting notes. I always felt that using a tablet with a pen allowed me to still connect with my customers rather than typing notes. I went paperlass many years ago when I quickly realized that old notebooks could not be referenced on the road and scanning was just not something I wanted to spend my time doing.

On to my reasons.

1. I have found LetureNotes to be much more customizable than SNote.

a. You can select which buttons are on the menu bar, each one individaully

b. You can do away with the silly (imo) icons that respresent the notebooks and have a simple list which is much faster when you have a lot of notebooks and sub-notebooks

c. You can literally pick each feature that you want to use or not - system bar, page numbers, zoom bars, pencil box

d. You can set it to revert back to the pen after a single use of the eraser, zoom, or cutter

2. I have found it to be much more like OneNote in that you can do the following

a. You can lasso tect with either a box or customer loop and move that text around on the screen - important when needing to re-organize you notes during a meeting so that they make sense later

b. You can add a date/time stamp into your notes to remind you later

c. You can erase with either the eraser or you can use the undo/redo buttons to move backwards and forwards thru your penstrokes.

3. There are more levels of organization. SNote only allows you to go 5 notebooks deep. I am note sure how far LN goes, but I think in my test notebook I had at least 10 notebooks deep which is more than I would ever need

4. You can add a page to a note with a single click

5. This is huge - you can set lecture notes to keep the screen on even after the tablet has locked itself. I am forced to use a PIN lock in order to access my work email. If I am in a meeting with a customer and had to unlock the screen if it locked up that would be onconvenient. It also allows it to stay on at my desk in case I have to pick up up quickly for an unexpected phone call.

6. Last thing I can think of for now is that I have swapped 3 emails with the developer for help and suggestions. I also tried this app about 6 months ago with my HTC Flyer and find it to be much better now. Probably a lot to do with the device, but I think it has also improved greatly.

I know a lot of people already like LN and many would say that the splitscreen of Snote outweighs all those things. I only hope that being able to use other apps in splitscreen mode will come in the future.

Just wanted to share incase that helps anyone else.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mitchellvii:
Yes LectureNotes is great but:

You can't import pda files for markup.

You can't type.

You can't link notes to calendar events.

You can't do split screen.

I feel that Snotes will get better with every OTA. Still, for just taking notes in class, Lecture Notes is a fine option.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Mickeylittle:
You can type but You have to hunt it in the menu to do so. Overall lam sticking with snote for many reasons. I'm not the avid writer that the OP is and I consider myself more 50/50 between writing and typing, or hopefully this tablet will help me to get to 50% writing!

So from my usage snote is a much more user-friendly and functional app for me.

Per a thread I posted about Polaris and Dropbox enabling me to ink the same document on my tablet and PC, I am trying out Word documents as notebooks. Here's that thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1856691

I am also an avid OneNote user, and FWIW, I have found Freenote to be the closest app experience to it. It is packed with features. But it is also not intuitive, and even having used it for a while I still sometimes forget how to do things that should be simple.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] toenail_flicker:
Typing is coming. Dev is working on it.

Split screen - meh. Don't currently care for it much. Needs work.

I'm sure the dev with do the pda import thing too, and if not, there are other avenues.

All you have to do is ask and the dev addresses it. Best CS I ever saw except for Amazon. ;) Way better than Sammy. ;)

Do you mean PDF files, the paid version can import pdf and mark up. It can also batch import as pages. Even better, can mark up on a different layer.

I cranked the quality settings for importing pdf files to improve results.

swyped from my Galaxy Note 10.1 with Tapatalk
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Nefariouss:
Could someone enlighten me on how to import pdfs. I can't seem to figure it out.

Nm: figured out I needed an add on.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mitchellvii:
On LN can I set a black background with white pen? I know it is odd but it is actually much easier for me to write on and read white pen on black background like a blackboard and chalk. Can we import .pdf's or images as backgrounds?

One benefit of using LN is that it frees you to run CM10 without worrying about losing Snotes.

How does LN doe at syncing with Evernote? Snotes does that very poorly.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mitchellvii:
Just gave LN a try for a little while. I found the inking to be quite hit and miss. Very often it would not detect the beginning of my pen stroke. Also i didnt find the pen marks to be a smooth and antialiased as in Snote.

I just dont want to give up Snotes system wide integration and im not one of these people who thinks cm10 is so amazing i am willing to sacrifice functionality just to have it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] toenail_flicker:
Double-check your settings option. I have no problem.

There is a blackboard mode under settings. You can also import any png or jpg.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] stuartv:
It was like that for me, too, until I went into Settings and turned on Pen-only input.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mitchellvii:
Thanks I'll give that a try maybe it will make it better.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mdalacu:
LN is great for syncing because it saves pages individual not in a big file, so you don't have to transfer the whole document, only the modified/added pages. The only thing i miss is a 100% zoom button and the possibility to import from clipboard like snote does.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] AndroidAble:
LN allows you to back up your files to any cloud service (dropbox). It breaks the pages into individual files, which is not ideal, but at least I can view the files on my pc. The back up is also very fast.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mitchellvii:
Ive been trying to like LN, I just dont. Just something about the way the pen write bugs me. Who knows.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] toenail_flicker:
You can import from clipboard in LN.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] arjag:
For engineer style drawings I like blue background with white pens.

Makes me feel like I am on MythBusters :p

I have made a Templates folder and have all sorts of templates like notes/engineering/graph/yellow legal pad (with pdf background)

I have a month at a time diary with pdf background and put home stuff on layer 2 and work stuff on layer 3 so I can choose what to view.

For syncing I am using dropsync to send my pages to dropbox. best solution I have found so far.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] toenail_flicker:
So you are importing a blue background, then, as your solution? I like your folder of templates idea. Hope you don't mind if I borrow it? ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] arjag:
Of course not, go right ahead.

For engineering type drawing I am just setting the background to blue with the notebook settings.

For legal pad I used a pdf I got a open office template for from here opened with openoffice (actually libreoffice) and exported to pdf

For calendars I went to here and made a month at a time.

To make a new notebook from a template without pdf inside simply tap "+" and then tap on the "template" at top and choose.

To make a new notebook from a template with a pdf inside, long press the template notebook and choose duplicate notebook.

For the current month and notes I long press notebook and "Create Shortcut", a trick I found; because opening the main shortcut takes you back to your last location. make a shortcut and rename the file it points to and now you have a shortcut that always goes to the top notebook board. (little pop up winge, but that is ok)

Hope that helps.

P.S. I have been in touch with Markus and he is very helpful.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] AndroidAble:
Question: Where you able to move the section of the application that stors your notes into DropSync so that when you make a change it automatically syncs that to Dropbox?

Markus told me about that option when I was trying to see if he would be able to get a sync to Evernote, but I am unsure how to get it done. I went into My Files and found the dropbox folder and the LN folder. I tried creating a new folder in the dropbox folder that way to see if it would show up in my dropbox, but it did not work.

Is tehre a way to have LN sync anytime you make a change to a file?

Also, if you created a template in PDF, how does that work? Everytime you open it you are annotating a pdf file and it saves itself again like that? I would love to have PDF files of all my LN's in my dropbox with the same folder tree.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Pyxus:
Acadoid: great app! Just bought it. I agree that the notebook preview would be fantastic. The notebook name/# of pages could be indicated in a semi-transparent bar located at the top or the bottom of each thumbnail - just an idea.

Also, an 'auto-sync' feature to Evernote for all notebooks at once would be great (e.g. 1 button in the folder view would sync all notebooks to Evernote - with or without UUID preservation as an option).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] acadoid:
@Pyxus: Preview of the first page on the notebooks board is on my to-do-list. To display the notebook name analogously to the number of pages (and the number of recordings, if there are any) is a good idea.

Sync to Evernote is on my agenda. The problem is that there is presently no Android intent to truely update an existing notebook, but it seems that this will be added to the Evernote app soon (see http://discussion.evernote.com/topic/29122-intent-to-append-to-or-edit-a-specific-note/). If such Android intent is available, I will add a sync option.

Get 7Notes with mazec and you'll have HWR anywhere.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] HasC:
I have already suggested this solution however, he does not want to use a panel at the bottom of the screen, he is after something similar to S-note where he can write anywhere on the screen and have the words converted to text and wants the flexibility to be able to move the text around the screen as desired.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] toenail_flicker:
Acadoid already said there won't be native HWR.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] HasC:
Yep,I know. For me personally, I would be happy when the text input is improved which acadoid has advised that he is working on.

With this set up, I will be able to use handwriting and text input with the flexibility of using 7notes or Samsung's keyboard for HWR. My main purpose is for taking notes at meetings which is why I need the improved text input so badly, this would mean that I no longer will have to type notes out if I needed to distribute them as minutes and can include quick tables or diagrams with the flexibility that lecture notes provides.

Right now, I have to use more than one app to do a different function.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] toenail_flicker:
Yes, text input improvement is all I really need.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] graffixnyc:
I tested lecture notes briefly and I think it writes neater than snote. Although I'm planning on using it to take calculus notes so the formula tool is snote is great for that. If lecture notes had that then it would be perfect for me
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] fixfox2:
If I am right, SMemo ( not to be confused with SNote ) has the option to convert to text after writing is complete... unlike SNote, that has the function to convert in real time.

My suggestion is for the Smemo approach, which will not impact responsivenes .

If however, you are saying that this is not possible because lecturenotes is bitmap-based , then it's understood.

Thanks .

re-editing text?

with LectureNotes, is it actually possible re-edit a text that has been entered? with SNote i can go back and add words, correct the text etc. but with LectureNotes i couldn't find out how to do this.... and this is currently a show stopper for me.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] toenail_flicker:
Erase and try again, but not like you're thinking.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] acadoid:
@metacm: No, you cannot edit it (besides erasing and retyping, as pointed out by toenail_flicker). To improve concerning typed text input is one of the two bigger points on my agenda.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] fischerben:
I would be happy when i can import pdf to Snorre. Such tvinger should just work
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mistahTee:
@fischerben If you meant importing PDFs into S Note, yes you can do this already :)

Hope this helps :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] marqz:
your firdere

Does this mean that it will not be possible to eg change the lines and circles that you have done?

So it would be perfect after you've drawn a line can choose it to be such as horizontal and perhaps longer, or afterwards go in and change the color and angle on it.

(google-translate...)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] acadoid:
@marqz: Using the cutter tool, you can change the color of your writing/drawing (mark the desired area and choose the bucket icon at the left), move it (mark the desired area, choose cut, and paste at the new location), and rotate it (mark the desired area, choose cut, rotate and paste it; rotation is presently only in by 90 degrees steps, I will add finer rotation soon).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] fischerben:
Yeah but but mine crashes every time i try
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] marqz:
Thank you for fast response and great tips!

Have already bought the app and looking forward to the development!

About doing strait(horizontal, vertical) lines, is there a feature for this already? Maybe one way could be to hold one finger to the screen (anywhere) and then draw the line with the s-pen, then it's looked to only draw horizontal or vertical..

Another thing I noticed is when you have more then 1 (or 2) you cant se the next or previous page, it's greyed out, is this a setting for higher performance and can it be a user setting?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] toenail_flicker:
You need to install the add-on PDFView

After that, fix your settings in LN and you're golden. ;)

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] toenail_flicker:

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] fischerben:
But i want to import in s note. Not in lecturenote, that i already know how to :)

But yes i could just use lecture note to PDF but don't like the way it change the PDF so you can erase it. Then i just use ezpdf
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] acadoid:
@fischerben: To avoid touching your imported PDF file, you can use LectureNotes' multi-layer feature, import the PDF file into the first layer and write/erase in the second layer.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] toenail_flicker:
So you need to post in an SNote thread. You'll get better help there.

This is a LectureNotes thread. ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Duckylover13:
I have my lecturenotes folder, /mnt/sdcard/Android/com.acadoid......./files, synced with my drop box using drop sync and at first it was working well until I noticed that that my calculus folder with notebooks inside was deleted. The same thing also happened to my Physics lab folder with notebooks in it. It was deleted in my dropbox account as well so I'm not sure how to get them back. It also happened about two weeks ago and I was able to recover the files from my girlfriend's computer which has drop box installed and hadn't sync'd yet. I've since then stopped syncing them with drop sync, but I really liked backing my notebooks up. I set it up so that it would sync every two hours so it would do so sometimes during class while I was editing notes. I'm not sure if that messes things up or if there is another way to set it up. Any tips?

I think that would be open to interpretation...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Duckylover13:
I edit my pdf's by making another layer that I do my make work on. It goes on top and doesnt affect the pdf in any way.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] toenail_flicker:
Indeed, and since the OP hasn't found the help he needs here, it's just possible that my interpretation is smack on target. :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ratindahat:
I personally only have mine sync one direction, from the tablet to dropbox.

you might be able to go to the dropbox webpage, look at events and figure out where it deleted the folder. Might give you some clues anyway.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Duckylover13:
I have recently learned that you can recover files from dropbox online. There's A button that you click that makes previously deleted files appear so I was able to recover my notes. Now I've placed my Lecture Notes file on my micro sd card and I'm gonna make it sync one way.

I recently just use the screenshot function of the pen on PDF page I want to draw onto and send it to LectureNotes.

I wonder how LectureNotes imports PDFs? Each page as separate PNG image? That could take a lot of space...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] acadoid:
@Magnesus: LectureNotes cannot handle PDF directly, so that it relies on a helper app (PDFView) to render it. LectureNotes is bitmap-based, your notebook pages are stored as PNG, depending on the resolution that you choose, file size is about 10MB per page and layer.
