I emailed the developers to ask about landscape viewing. They responded below, and said some updates should be released this week.

Pen recognition

I started using this tool as recommended and Liked it a lot.

There´s only one problem Im experiencing. Sometimes, when Im writing a text, there are some pen recognition issues.. that makes me having to write some letters again.

Don´t know if Im being clear...

Im using latest Jelly Bean Rom (LI1) posted on the development forum. Don´t know if it´s the Rom or the App.

I only have this issue with this app, though.

Anyone experienced that??

Thanks.

Luciano.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] jchammerpants:
Hey, there, Luciano. I have been using this app only two days. So far, I have not had that issue. It captures all my pen strokes just as smooth as butter.

I am completely 'stock.' Maybe that makes a difference?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] HasC:
I agree with the comments above as I am not having any issues with it either.

Thanks for the update regarding the improvements to come.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] lucianolsp:
Thanks

Yeah.. It´s probably some compatibility issue between the App and the JB ROM.

Thats unfortunate, because I really liked the smoothiness and speed of the JB over ICS. :(

Maybe I will revert to the stock rom.. although the problem is not too bad, maybe I can live with it.

Thanks guys!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] HasC:
The latest update to this app allows you to really easily rotate text and pictures. All it needs now is landscape mode and a choice of paper sizes.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] hoipiepeloi:
output quality

Trying out several notetaking apps to see if I could find a Onenote-like app (typing, handwriting, easy editing, sync, searchable notes), so I tried this one out as well.

I agree that it's very nice, especially the flexibility with text and handwriting (you can even write text and handwriting in the same box, alternating words). I had some minor issues for improvement though:

1. I tried it on my phone, and chose the smallest font size (12) to be able to write at least a decent number of words on the page. But when I then exported to evernote, I could hardly read the text (handwriting was even worse) because of the low image quality. Not sure if this is an issue on a tablet but I really want my notes to be readable and searchable. So it would be nice if you could choose different export image qualities.

2. Did you find a way to resize the handwriting (in handwriting mode, not the freehand) after it was written? With text, you can simply resize the font of a selection, but I couldn't do this with handwritten text.

3. Highlighting is only possible in freehand mode, but then if you reposition the textbox the highlight doesn't move with the text as it's in another layer. I didn't try so I don't know if this could be solved by grouping objects, but it would be nice to have a highlighting option that changes the actual background of the text and automatically moves with the text.

4. the already mentioned missing page size setting.

Other than this, I found it to be a pretty nice note taking app, too. If only they added a desktop client that could edit the notes too...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] HasC:
1. I would also like different export qualities. What i just tried as an experiment was to export the notes into another app called lecture notes. This could be a potential workaround for resizing the document to a more readable size. If you have made all your edits on handy notes, export to the app and use the cut tool and resize.

2. Unfortunately, i could not find a way to resize handwritten notes after writing and again the solution/workaround would be to export to lecture notes and resize the selection or part that is too small.

3. Yep, tried it this morning and could not find a way to move the highlight. I did notice that there was a layer option but could not get it to do anything, ideally we should be able to flatten the highlight behind the text. I tried to group the objects but could not select the highlighted section.

For a possible workaround you could :

Create your notes and once you are happy with the format, do your highlighting and export or alternatively, send the notes to lecture notes, resize and highlight using the functions within lecture notes and export as a pdf.

I think at present the way things are, we need to use multiple apps to achieve the desired end results or one of the developers takes these issues into consideration and facilitates them within their app.

I think i will email the developer of Handy notes to this thread and hopefully he/she/they can improve the app with the suggestions.

I have requested the developer of lecture notes to see if text handling can be done in the manner of handy notes as he is working on text input improvement for his app which currently is the most feature rich note taking app on android (my opinion).

Edit: just realised for highlighted text, if you select the freehand tool used to do the highlight, there is a scissor icon towards the right that can be used to select the highlight and reposition to wherever you have moved the text. If you change the font size from what has been highlighted, it won't match up.

Ive been using this for a few days now and find it really good. Password protect notes and abilty to change covers.

Also you can download an extra resource pack thats full of templates, covers etc here
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] MAO2200:
Because it is no longer compatible with my TF101 with Android 4.1.2? I can not use it! please update ....
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] MushyMan:
I've been using another app, its called Papyrus.

It is still in Beta phase and it does not have a rich feature list as the other apps mentioned so far. But I have to say I am absolutely loving it so far, its one of those apps that looks as if it were designed by Google. Clean simple elegant holo design. it is so fast and responsive and works perfectly with the Spen including palm rejection.

If you are looking for a simple beautiful fast note taking app, Papyrus is definitely a winner.

Devs are also quite active in development so once it comes out of beta phase could prove to be an excellent feature filled app
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] sgtstress:
Looks pretty good but im having issues with the s-pen button. It is set in the app so that using the s-pen with the button pressed will use the selection tool, but it seems to do nothing for me. Have you experienced this ?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Chaz9999:
I'm currently using Handy Note for my engineering and statistic classes.

Is it possible to have the write box not automatically process the handwriting or increase the delay timer? I have to write alot of formulas and it keeps transcribing when I'm in the middle of writing a summation or function.

Do any other apps have the ability to do text/write combo and allow me to specificy when I want to the app to transcribe what I wrote?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] HasC:
You can purchase 7Notes from the market, it allows you take notes in your handwriting and then convert to text later, this is providing you use its in built notepad. The actual handwriting to text can be used for entry anywhere a keyboard can be selected.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Jonphinguyen7:
How would you say this app works in comparison to S-Note? I am running cyanogenmod10 and have been looking for a nice replacement. I have tried Papyrus and Lecture Notes, but neither has the same "feel" as S-Note does.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] HasC:
I would say S-note is probably better but needs some of its annoyances fixed by software updates which is why we are looking for alternatives in the first place.

Handy note is a strong contender because of its simplicity, intuitive interface and fantastic value for money. It's advantages are better text entry which can easily be rotated and positioned anywhere, double handwriting panel which allows you to write on one panel and move to the next while the first one adds your writing to the canvas therefore allowing continuous writing. There are tons of other features, some of which are listed in the Op.

Honestly though, for $0.99, it's a steal!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] bluzman:
Just got it so no definite opinion yet except that, yes, it needs a landscape mode.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Granna:
Hasc, would you consider doing a video showing how to work in this app, I am having trouble with it. Your video on alternate way to use handwriting on our Notes 10.1 was so helpful! Thank you very much.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Chaz9999:
I've been using Freenote for my classes now. Freenote's Handwriting mode allows me to type via a BT keyboard and then write formulas and equations on the screen, hit DONE, and it transcribes and resizes it to the rest of the text font. Superb.

And it's free! :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] MushyMan:
Oh I actually experienced that as well.

I kinda shrugged it off as a 'beta' issue, hoping it gets updated soon.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] HasC:
App has had a major update and now includes landscape mode.

First impressions are that it works well. Screen is split into two, one half shows you your tool selection and you can pick various options from it which is excellent however I could not find a way to disable this to view the whole screen.

Will ask the developers if this can be enabled too unless someone can find the function which I may have overlooked.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] lucianolsp:
This App is great. Unfortunately, I still have S-Pen recognition issues using this app in Jelly Bean (latest update - Team Union Rom 4.1.1 XXBLJ9 DBT v3 ROM).

The developer should look into this, as this problem doens´t happen in ICS ROMs.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] sphere314:
I just bought Handy Note Pro (it has now and for a limited time a 50% discounted price on AmazonApps).

It seems really worth it's price!

So far is one of the richest note taking app I've seen, with typed text and handwritten text boxes (in which typed text and handwritten ink can go together) and a free draw layer. There are also plenty of other options to insert images and photos, symbols and shapes, links (i.e. to other notebooks). It also seems to have an integration with Evernote (I haven't tried it yet) and with calendar elements and events.

First impression is really good.

I've read all this thread's older posts and it seems that some meaningful headway has been made in the last months by the app developers.

The app interface is quite intuitive (much more simple to learn than other note taking apps), anyway I think I'll need some more time to explore all its full features and options.

The only drawback I've found so far is in the portrait/landscape orientation. It supports (now) both orientations but, sometimes, when using my tablet in landscape some view defaults to portrait and I have to tilt the tablet anew to make the app recognize its actual orientation.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] loribuono:
Does anyone know if you can embed videos and audio recordings into a note, like you can with S Note? And I'm seeing two versions on Amazon Apps. Are they the same?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] sphere314:
As far as I know: no.

The version with the red icon background color is the one optimized for Kindle fire.

Since I'm not using that device I've bought the other one, the one with a green icon background color.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] loribuono:
Thanks for clearing that up. Sticking with S Note for now. Throwing a video or audio recording in a journal, when you have a three-year-old, is awesome!

The only place I can find that has screen protectors for the Note 2 now is at Clove. So I ordered one with my note 2 from them, the only problem is that its a MIRROR one and I don't really like it.

Anyone know where else we can get the screen protectors? It would be nice to put it on my note 2 when I get it straight away. :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ChodTheWacko:
I kinda feel like we could kinda use note 1 screen protectors with a little surgery.

I have a few leftovers to tide me over while I wait for a glas.t for the note 2.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DMax99:
But the note 2 screen is longer than note 1 isn't it?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DMax99:
??? I dont really get this post...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] copualt3:
Amazon USA has the lumii ark 3 pack for 4 + 3 shipping..so 7$..eBay also has it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ChodTheWacko:
Yeah, hence the surgery.

Basically you'd have to cut the very top and bottom off a Note 1's screen protector, and you would have to leave the Note 2's speaker and button area exposed. The LCD would still be protected though.

Not ideal, but I think it should look okay, and tide me over while I wait for a protector brand I'm happy with.

- Frank
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] non1oson:
mate I was thinkng about a screen protector but then I thought "gorilla glass 2". it's suppose to be unscratchable. now I know how you feel, because I've ALWAYS put on a protector for the LCD. but after taking it off on the S3 for a day, I realised how nice it was to use without the protector. there is a big difference of feel with and without a protector on. now I'll never put one on. considering they have gorilla glass 3, 4, 5 and so forth coming up ;P

but if you wanted a protector anyway I was about to buy 1 from spigen SGP. they have them. very good quality. always to edges of phone and buttons, looks like you don't even have one on _b
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] spridell:
Amazon also has the Spigen available

Why would you use a screen protector on gorilla glass screen ? I have not scratched my old desires display in 2 years I have been using it. And the desire has gorilla glass, note has gorilla glass 2 and I suppose it should be even better and even more scratch resistant. Has Samsung used "softer" displays on other phones ?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] non1oson:
with the above otherwise here:

http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-note-2.html
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] alsolh:
which one is better? "Ultra Crystal" Or "Ultra Oleophobic"?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] non1oson:
crystal is the clear transparent surface.

oleo is a matte finish. mainly for glare resistant and no smudges on the surface.

I would personally go crystal, keeps the clarity of your picture over matte.

end of day the phone has gorilla glass. I wouldn't get a screen protector at all.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DMax99:
Oleophobic ones are not really that good. Had it on my note 1. The finger print resistant only lasted a very short time. I'm now using the ultra optic only note 1. But haven't tried ultra crystal yet. If you want the finder print resistant...should go for ultra optic but it's a bit grainy. Oleophobic is not really worth it
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DMax99:
Oleo is NOT Matt finish. :p
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] busab:
I don't care what anyone says, I have gorilla glass on my gs2 and I managed to scratch it with in the first week.

Now it has a screen protector.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] non1oson:
old technology galaxy s2 is old technology
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] busab:
It's still gorilla glass. Maybe I'm in the minority in my experience, but it will scratch.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] non1oson:
note 2 has gorilla glass 2. I haven't looked at a comparison, but I'm sure it would be more durable?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DMax99:
Of course it still can be scratched.....it's scratch resistance but not scratch proof. It will be resistance to material softer than itself but not resistance to material harder than itself
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] FloatingFatMan:
Gorilla Glass, even Gorilla Glass 2, isn't invulnerable. It's just much more resistant to scratches etc.

If you keep your phone in a pocket with keys or coins, you will always be at risk of scratching it, even with GG2. If you keep it in a pocket with nothing hard, then you're far less at risk.

Personally, I keep my phone in my shirt pocket. I've never dropped or scratched any of them, so don't see the need for a screen protector. Other people's needs will probably differ.

i'm gonna be buying my note 2 next month (or whenever it comes out in the US)...

i want to get the screen protector on it asap...so i figured i'd buy the international version now. my question is: are there gonna be any form-factor changes to the US version (namely, sprint) that would make this idea a waste of money?

also found this store:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/SPIGEN-SGP-...329144?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4608432638

anyone know them?

the description is telling me to "Buy with Confidenc!!"...which makes lose confidence.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DMax99:
To finalhit:

I have also ordered from them last week. They are the official sgp store on eBay I think. They are the best brand I have found so far.

As for the us version....there are rumors that the form might be different to the international version....I remember reading about it on either phonearena or gsmarena.....try and google it and you should be able to find out

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] leony74:
You dont need a screen protector for note2 the user manual does not recommend it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] droidtek:
From the above link, i understand that Gorilla glass sustains and absorbs shock and still stays string without breaking. So its more of break-proof than scratch proof. Given hard materials like keys in pocket, it has good chances to attract atleast minor scratches.

More than the Screen, the back of Note 2 is vulnerable for scratch easily, minis now itself has few minor scratches. Good thing is we can replace with a new one which comes along with Flip cover

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Erica Williams:
Well I dont think there is any need of screen protector on note 2 as the glass used is smart enough to prevent any sort of scratch, for this you may watch hundreds of videos uploaded by people just to prove the strentgh of the glass further more if you use screen protectors it may also cause sensor malfunctions as it uses S-Pen detection layer.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DMax99:
Any sorts of scratch? Will you please make a video of scratching your screen with sand? That way we can see real a proof of that statement. :p

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] fawaad:
I believed the same before having small scratches, probably caused by amount of sand or dust particles in the pocket from key chain on my S3. No way I'm going to ignore screen protectors.

If you can get the official cover that covers the screen then it's good otherwise I would advise you to have some kind of screen guard. I'm not a fan of screen protectors but don't think I can take a chance again.

Just got a Nexus 7 the other day and have been scouring the web for the right case. There's surprisingly few slim and attractive cases with a smart cover. I was looking for something slim, that doesn't cover the bezel, and provides a magnetic cover. I found this beauty on a Chinese wholesalers site. Doesn't appear to be on ebay or any retailer site yet. Unfortunately, for now it can only be ordered wholesale with a minimum of 100 pieces.

What do you guys think? It also comes in 10 colors. Can't wait til I can purchase an individual piece.
