[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gicarey:
Hi Folks,

One of my primary reasons for buying the Note2 (arrived yesterday, so not had much time to experiment) was the Stylus^D^D^D^D^D^D S-Pen. I'm hoping that the phone can replace my Moleskine notebook, in which I make short notes, jot down my action items, etc in meetings where I'm not chair / taking full minutes (for those, I expect I'll need to stick to an A4 pad).

Given what the device is, and who the contributors here are, I thought I'd post, to see if anyone else had the same requirements, and come up with a good working solution? If not, I'll post updates as I go along, and whether or not I find a solution which works well for me.

Ideally, then, my workflow would look something like:

Attend a meeting

Write relevant notes on the Note2 using the S-Pen

Have those notes sync <somewhere> (ideally automatically, but I can live with pressing a button or two)

Have my notes subsequently available on a desktop computer (Windows PC in the office, Mac when working from home)

Ideally have the notes auto-handwriting-recognised at a reasonable level of quality into machine manipulatable text

Other initial thoughts/comments:

I'm happy to use S-Note for this if it works well, but just as happy to use a 3rd party app, and to pay for said app if the value proposition is there.

I've had an evernote account for years, always though the concept was great, but never really made use of it. This will probably be my first port-of-call.

I'm a heavy Dropbox user, so Dropbox integration would work for me (especially since gaining the additional 48gig through purchase of the Note2!).

It would be great if the single app divided out action items and notes "auto-magically" somehow, and populated a cloud-syncing task management tool with the action items. But on this assumption this is asking too much, I think I'd be adverse to switching between two tools, one for notes, one for actions (though perhaps Multi-View would be an interesting solution here?).

Cheers!

Gav.

I'm very interested to see what your thoughts are after using it a while. I'm an engineering student, and was looking to buy a Note2 and take advantage of the SPen functionality. I like the idea of 'Formula Match' although I haven't experimented with it since I don't know anyone with a Note/2/10.1 etc.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richlum:
I had the Note, and just got the Note 2 last weekend. The problem with S Note is that it only seems to sync to the PC as an image. So, you can't edit them on the PC.

The best solution I've found is using OneNote on the phone and PC. And, syncing them via skydrive.

Evernote seems pretty good, but I figured since I already had OneNote installed on the pc I'd try and make that work first, and never got around to Evrenote. It's a bit clunky though. I use the MS app most of the time, bit it doesnt do everything, so I bought MobileNoterSE and that does some things the MS apps doesn't. But neither is a complete solution.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
Best options will be to use something like Google Drive, to use google docs support, or Polaris Office (free with this phone) or QuickOffice to create word documents and sync with somewhere like Dropbox.

This way you will have easily editable files, you lose the ability to do things like the formula thing and easily insert images etc, but it works perfectly for handwriting.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gicarey:
Experience thus far

So, my story thus far.

Firstly, I had a play using S-Note and Evernote together:

To get your handwritten notes into evernote, you export via JPEG to Evernote (note, not a problem in the short term, but I've found the Note2 keeps a copy of the exported docs on the internal storage, so if you use it a lot, it could conceivably munch a lot of your space).

Evernote doesn't (so far as I can find) do OCR on the text to make it machine readable, but it does do an amazing job at OCRing for the purpose of making your handwritten notes searchable. Because it can be a little more "relaxed" in doing this (i.e. if it's not sure if you've written "pound" or "sound", it'll index the word as both for searching purposes) it does a truly wonderful job. It almost makes me wish I'd bought a page-whiz type scanner and fired in my hand written notes over the past few years.

My initial perception of the possible value of this search facility might be enough to make me forego the machine manipulatable part of my requirement.

However...

The handwriting recognition option, replacing the keyboard, built into the phone is very good. It does, I would guesstimate, about an 80% accurate job in recognising my (awful) handwriting in tests yesterday/today (how it fares when used "in anger" vs at my desk tests, I've yet to determine). The advantage here, ofcourse, is that it can deliver machine manipulatable text directly into Evernote, or any other tool you so wish (e.g. Polaris Office as mentioned above).

And, of-course, machine manipulatable text is searchable via any one of a hundred methods or varying complexity and sophistication, as suits your needs.

Ideally...

Of-course, ideally, both would be great. Being able to write, without worrying whether or not the machine "gets it right" is a godsend. I (most of the time) can recognise my handwriting, so if offered both, I could correct where necessary.

My experiments continue!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I'm a teacher and have used the Note II for a couple of weeks. Here are my thoughts:

-I previously used a 7" tablet, a swype-style keyboard and Evernote for making notes

-I bought the Note II after playing with it in the phone shop and seeing how accurate the handwriting recognition was. I have used a Palm PDA in the past and the Samsung system is lightyears ahead of the gesture-style recognition of the Palm.

-I input text now either using handwriting recognition and the S-Pen or voice recognition (when I'm at home and on my own!). It's very possible that using the swype-style keyboard is quicker, but I find in terms of vision, seeing my own handwritten, rather large words on the screen easier to see than the smaller keys of the keyboard, so it works out quicker and is more restful for me.

-I use Evernote for all of my notes. It's amazing. An example is of me helping another teacher assess some speaking and listening tasks in the classroom - I made my comments on my Note & Evernote, then emailed them to her. I now have a copy on Evernote for future reference. I travelled on the train over the weekend and planned all of my lessons on the Note. I'll be able to share these with support assistants easily, can access them from the desktops at school, and they are all automatically tagged with the date.

-I use several Evernote widgets. I use tags and notebooks to keep all the quick-reference notes a touch away, like this week's lesson plans and my timetable. I can find other notes very quickly using the search option.

-I've toyed with writing notes in cursive using the stylus - but in the end think - why would I want to do that, since the handwriting recognition is so good on the Note and I can then edit the text later very easily? My handwriting is not THAT beautiful! If you were really attached to cursive handwriting, S-Note can save notes with both drawing on and written text, although this would be converted to an image file were it then uploaded to Evernote.

-When I have time and energy, I mean to look into Tasker to make note-making more automated, for example opening a new note when I draw out the S-Pen. I'm sure Tasker can save and open notes according to location or calender appointments (you mentioned meetings)

My only wish was that attachments like spreadsheets could be edited and saved while still being attached to the Evernote note. Instead, I used Dropbox for files such as PPT and spreadsheets.

Hope this helps!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gicarey:
Ooh, now, here's something I've not yet considered. If my notes could be auto-labelled based on the meeting I'm (supposed to be) in. That would be interesting.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Evernote can actually do this already. There is a setting which labels the title of your note with the current appointment from your calendar.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alpha4:
I have started using Papyrus...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...m5vdmF0aW9uLmFuZHJvaWQucHJvamVjdHBhcHlydXMiXQ..

And Dropbox on my Note 2.

Handwrite notes whilst out at meetings, conferences, etc. Then share to Dropbox in pdf format and thus available on my Desktop when I get back to the office.

Papyrus is still under develeopment and doesn't do OCR afaik. I use my notes for my own recollection, so no need to produce keyboard text or send to colleagues.

Quite simple, but works for me.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gicarey:
Must admit, this is the way I am leaning at present. The coolness of Evernotes indexed handwriting though continues to appeal :)

BBC iplayer is an app which let's you watch tv progs that were screened on BBC channels over the past 7 or so days and is only officially supported on armv7 devices

I was asking if someone had ported it to armv6

if you don't know what the app is you shouldn't of posted
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] TheFixItMan:
Has no one done it?

I presume no one has been able to get the BBC iplayer app to work on an armv6 device then
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] TheFixItMan:

Check my past posts - i give a lot of help to people

I was annoyed people were telling me to use other apps when they clearly don't know what iplayer is or what armv6 is

I'm sorry if I offended anyone but if you don't know what the app is what it does and about armv6 you really shouldn't be answering
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] TingTingin:
I get where you were coming from but you could have said it nicely the first guy thought the player was a video player so he recommended mx player instead since you couldn't find the BBC 1 the other guy told u to search because alot of people make treads here without searching all you had to say was u already did you didn't have to call him a idiot and the other guy the last guy doesn't own a galaxy y and tried to help by providing a link he probably didn't really understand what the problem was and differences in processor architecture but he didn't need to be called a noob I hope u see my point

Hi all,

Sorry if this had been covered already. Is there an easy way to rerun the initial setup of the stock unbranded phone other than factory reset?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eng.rego:
What do u mean exactly by initial setup? Google setup or samsung account or dropbox or location?? Cause they all can be skipped to run later with no problem at all or a need for another reset.

↖(^▽^)↗ Sent From Rego Galaxy Note!! ↖(^▽^)↗
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pie1862:
I kind of skipped through everything on the initial set up as I had no Sim in. Just checking that I don't need to reset to select an option/setting. I assume all is accessible from setup?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamal Ahmed:
Yup all is accessible

For samsung account setup: go ti Samsung Apps.

For all of Google sign in, start Play Store.

For dropbox, start dropbox :P lol

And your owner name is some where in Settings>security i think. .forgot that sorry

[Xperia Play General] narflynn619:
Title says enough.

We expected this kind of news, but as the article says, we already went through this heartache before when a Sony Mobile UK employee said that these devices wouldn’t get Android 4.1. Sony Mobile then came out with an official statement a few days later to say that this was an error and that they were “actively investigating Android OS upgrades for all devices”.

So yeah, it's Sony Dont.Believe being an ass again... which shouldn't be new anyway.

I'm keeping my Xperia PLAY for the next 2-3 years maybe. But when it's time for a phone change, I'm considering Samsung... or LG.

Nice sony... Do you known who is going to buy yuo a new phone? Me no...

Jelly Bean is smoother than ICS, why do you do that?

[Xperia Play General] leetxperia:
My god.

Its why cuz Gameloft, EA etc.. said that they wont support ICS/JB.
[Xperia Play General] Belzhadar:
I really can't understand how Sony and a lot of other companys, manages to completely miss the fact that updates ARE important if you wish to sell phones. How long has is been sins JB were released? How many phones are sold with JB, almost none at all. How many can be officially upgraded to JB, almost none.
[Xperia Play General] TheCraig:
Google sort this fragmentation out, I'm so glad I'm dumping my Play in 17 days, Sony are being piss heads.
[Xperia Play General] LordBattleBeard:
Shame but can't say that I'm surprised by it, can anyone really?

I won't ever buy another Sony branded product again, short of an Xperia PLAY 2 being announced, and even then it would only be because there isn't any alternative to it.

It used to be back in day that Sony products were expensive but you were essentially buying a premium product and could expect a high level of support with it. Remember the 5yr warranties on new tvs? Needless to say, those days are gone. The prices remain high but the quality and level of support certainly hasn't.

If it isn't shoddy workmanship (PS3 YLOD, broken laptop hinges, exploding batteries) for which they will fight the consumer kicking and screaming to deny any responsibility for, then its the total abandonment of products less than a year after launch.

Long may the financial losses for this retched company continue :good:

[Xperia Play General] Drakhart:
I can't really understand why Sony rejects to upgrade their 2011 line to JB when it's CLEAR that these phones can handle it flawlessly, as proven by the CyanogenMod and FreeXperia teams with CM10. In fact it's faster than the official ICS from Sony.

In fact I'm using CM10 as a daily ROM, though sometimes I'm quite pissed about the cam and HDMI problems due to Sony, AGAIN, not willing to support their phones neither officially nor unofficially.

Sony: If you don't want to do the job then at least release the cam and HDMI libs so others can do it!!! Sincerely: an ex-customer, as I won't be buying another phone from you.
[Xperia Play General] Miles Wolf:
Don't begin with your stupid anti-Sony campaign. ALL the companies do the same, they show their new mobiles as the most cool things but after one year they will be completely forgotten. We'll have to stand this until somebody understands that is stupid to lose an update while other devices will get it. Android updates should be the same for all devices!

If you name PS3, say that has been 6 years recieving software updates for example. Ah, and the yellow light of the PS3 it's not the same as the red lights of Xbox 360, so don't call it "yellow light of death". If you're gonna say something, say it right.
[Xperia Play General] LordBattleBeard:
I will post about whatever I like. It is on topic and perfectly relevant. Sorry if that offends fanboys such as yourself ;)

Yellow light of death (YLOD) was exactly the same as the RLOD for the 360 in that when you got it, 9 times out of 10 your console was bricked. This was due to inherent fault in the design of the console which results in insufficient air flow cooling the circuit board. At least in the case of the 360 Microsoft eventually took responsibility and extended the warranty of the console to 3 years. Sony continued down the path of denying any liability and charging $150 for a repair.

More here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/watchdog/2009/09/playstation3_and_the_yellow_li.html

The "they're all at it" line is pathetic, accepting that is to accept a race to the bottom. If you wish to be treated poorly as a consumer and be willing to accept it as normal, go right ahead, but don't be surprised that other people have different ideas.
[Xperia Play General] Miles Wolf:
First of all, you're mixing different things, as long as the Sony responsible of Playstation is not the same Sony responsible of the Xperias (how many times i've told you this?), so it's offtopic, Playstation 3 has nothing to do here.

Second, I'm just telling you that is useless to say "I'm not gonna buy any more Sony devices" for this reason because all companies (except one or two mobiles like the Galaxy S series) do exactly the same with its devices, so don't call me fanboy because I think to be a brand-lover is as wrong as to be a brand-hater.

Sorry if you don't understand a simple thing like this, but don't insult me. Thanks.
