Just got my note 2 haven't used the SPen much yet can't really fond a legit reason too lol do you use yours? ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sekigah84:
I got the Note 2 for use with note taking so I use mine every day.

Other than that, I take it out to mess around with and tag pictures. I also do a lot of support for Android devices so the screenshot feature + tagging with the S-Pen makes my life so much easier.

There aren't enough worthwhile apps to really take full use of the S-Pen that don't have to do with notes or drawing.

There are some "games" that support stylus use. Maybe you can use that.

Either way, you still have a great device. Biggest screen and faster processor than most phones out there.

Yea def I love this bad boy ive done a lil doodling on my gf face myself lol i love the crop feature as well and nores for school or work how well is it vs using a larger tablet?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nannuq:
For drawing. I do a lot of it. I use sketchbook mobile for hours a day at work when everything is running smoothly and I have nothing better to do. If you don't draw... notes only I guess. I use it to Mark up photos on the job Site too, which everyone at the office is amazed with because it clarifies everything really well when explaining problems.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] wadeheisen:
I do network diagrams as part of my job, and it comes in handy when I have to draw something out for the techs and don't have the actual diagrams available. Need a Visio editor for Android, though, that would be real nice. I have also found it useful to take a screenshot of a map and annotate positions of equipment, satellite aiming, and other things during site surveys.

I mostly only use it when I'm texting. The S pen with a "gesture" keyboard like swype is way faster than typing any other way once you get good at it.

I use as a mouse when Web surfing.. Especially those drop down for a drop down menu

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] CDKJudoka:
Fairly often. I like that I can sign PDFs using the S Pen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mitchellvii:
I used to use it much more than I do now that we have a Samsung Keyboard Autocorrect hack that works in S-Notes. I can honestly thumb-type faster than I can hand-write and all the text is searchable. It is good for scrawling down the occasional phone number on the fly but the autocorrect is amazingly accurate. However if I were a student or in a meeting I would hand-write much more so as not to annoy everyone around me with frantic typing.

You can get the autocorrect baked in with a rom like Whompasaurus Rom V2.7 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2039564).

I do use the pen quite often as a pointer though. Nice for clicking tiny links or web surfing without smudging the screen.

I am looking forward to the Note 8.0. It should be just the right size for hand-writing and thumb-typing.

** Even though I no longer use it much, I like that fact that it is THERE if I need it. It's like having a car that can go zero to 60 in 4 seconds. 99% of the time you don't need the power but when you didn't see that semi in your blindspot and you need to get out of the way you are glad it's there.

I use mine Everyday forwork to Plan My employees day and to make graphs on what I want done

I guess the key thing about the pen is it just adds and extra layer of functionality to your smart phone. It makes your smart phone smarter.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
I have been using it more lately. When I don't want fingerprints on my screen I use it and I'm using it more on my Swype keyboard since it makes it easier. Plus it's awesome to edit pictures or screenshots.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Quis89:
All the time. I use it more than I use my fingers. Navigation, swype, drawing, photo editing. Plus I hate smudges and using the s-pen minimizes that
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] budde2:
When I first got my Note2 I thought I would never use it, like it was a novelty. Your exactly right it makes this 5.5 inch beauty smaller and makes my job a lot easier and fun lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cbucz24:
Ya know an awesome thing ive been using it for is grocery shopping.

Family makes a running list on the fridge. So when I go, I'll snap a pic of it. Then I turn the pen to highlight an "cross" items off.

It works well since at lock screen when I remove the pen it opens the app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ac16313:
Makes great to do list on the go and I actually started to use it to take notes in class is awesome having organized e notes
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] deziking:
I use it almost everyday, its awesome and coming from touchpro 2 this is by far the best phone. Email app u can hover over emails without opening awesomeeee I use it on excel also but yea 90% would be most of the time I use spen.

Barley ever but 80% of the time for games.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
+1 Definitely use it all the time! It's much faster and way more precise than my fingers. Whether it be Web surfing or just going through apps it makes everything easier. I especially like you can use it with swipe keyboard! I just wish it would work with the back and menu keys. Haven't had it more than a week but coming from the epic touch I love it.

Twice a day approximately. Good for notes in a meeting or while on my business phone. I never ever have a pen on me. Also good for taking and annotating screenshots. Bible studies, you name it. I never use evernote any more which I used to have open all the time on my OG Evo.

You know now that you mention it I think so. But I'm also over clocked to 1.8ghz on the performance governor so that's not helping much either lol! Although I did by a wall charger and 3 extra batteries on Amazon.com for 20 bucks so it's nice to not have to ever plug it in or worry about juice.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cecilia:
god, YES, writing using the S pen is Soooooo easy. I use this to leave posts on G+ and email. And I don't have to be as neat as what a nun would expect. It's really amazing how it can interpret my handwriting. Of course, if I write too fast misspellings can occur, but I just slow down a bit and all is well.

This...

After realizing that the browser interprets the Spen hovering as a mouse, and also Splashtop moves the mouse cursor without touching the screen when the pen is hovering, I was blown away. Works so well. I can even use photoshop on my home PC, over splashtop and it's almost as good as being there.

I take quick notes in phone calls often (BT headset... phone is just too big to hold to my face)

Quick editing of pics also is nice.

Could I live without it? Yes

Am I glad its there? Absolutely!

Loving this phone more and more every day.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] d12unk13astard:
Ehh not too much actually, only when I'm playing some bones at work ( on break ofc :P ) to keep score. Gimmie DAT fideeeen! Take off your shoes! I'll make you famous!

Heard a couple of my coworkers that own different versions of the iPhone say " wish my phone could do that"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Quis89:
How awesome must your data connection be to use photoshop on your home pc through splash top? That's pretty cool.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] poor_red_neck:
That's the beauty of splashtop2 (never used the original splashtop)....

If you're used to RDP, or VNC.... splashtop will blow you away.

When I've got a good signal on my phone (2mbps download) and nothing else is being uploaded at home and I'm getting full 2mbps upload, I can stream my 1366X768 desktop at about 10-15fps. Sometimes if there's a large screen change the compression will change, and get "blocky" but quickly recovers.

I run a few websites, and use Droid Edit for editing the HTML/CSS/JS/PHP on the go when a quick change or fix is needed. I can RDP to the webserver for maintenance, and god forbid somebody needs a logo changed really quick or something, the option is there. Is it great? NO, but it is CERTAINLY better than nothing.

The one HUGE downside (in my opinion) is the SPen does not seem to support "dragging".

IE: I can't tap and hold a layer in photoshop to move it around. I don't know if it's a Spen issue, or a splashtop2 issue.

The trackpad feature on splashtop2 works very well though, and it's just a matter of tapping once followed by a tap and hold. You certainly can't "paint" with it, but simple adjustments are possible and have come in handy. MUCH MUCH easier to work with than VNC. Also it streams in 16bit color, which VNC could never really do even with a great connection. It was 8bit color at 1-2FPS at best.

I'm going to e-mail splashtop to see if it's a feature they could implement... Spen ability to "drag and drop" If this was fixed, you literally could "paint" in photoshop with 0 issues.

It's $17/year (or $2/month) for splashtop2 with 3G/4G steraming. Free if you only use it on WiFi on the same network. If you're on your buddy's WiFi outside the house, you still need to pay for the premium version. Definitely worth it in my opinion. Built in proxy so no need for having a No-IP program running on your remote desktops to keep dynamic IPs.

I also have MANY family members who are... well... technologically impaired. They all have splashtop installed on their computes. Whenever they get stuck I help them out. Again much better experience than VNC. I even rooted my brother's phone (GS3) for him over splashtop, simply so I could install a VNC server ON his phone as this is his first smartphone. To make things easy (port forwarding, etc) I splashtop into his home PC, then from his home PC open a VNC viewer to view his phone. SO I'm remote connecting into his PC, which is then remote connecting to his phone. I'm able to control his phone and show him how to do stuff. Couple that with Skype and it's just like being there.

Hope that helps... if you want to know anything else about it let me know.

I actually haven't used mine for any personal or practical reason yet. I've shown it off to friends and family and they are generally impressed with the responsiveness of the S-Pen. When asked about its usage, I usually lie and say I use it to write grocery lists, notes, etc. It's a great feature, but I really haven't had a chance to put it to good use yet.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] TMPOOLE:
Don't use too often

Actually, about the only time I take it out is when I notice this thread and take it out to look and see how cool it is.

The only reason I bought this phone was for the Spen so I could take notes from calls the forwarded from work. Then I discovered custom Roms and installed the Call Recorder button on my dialer. When I get calls now, I just press the record button and save the conversation and transcribe it later.

Still pretty cool. I just don't remember to use it. (I have been able to stop carrying my Palm TX though). I'm progressing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hazakins:
Where can I find this call record?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Well its the red button here on the Snote app which I'm assuming would be in a call as well. I have my Snote settings where a notepad pops up every time I pull the pen out. Really awesome setting when on a call.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] poor_red_neck:
The red record button records your drawing... like stroke by stroke.

Its so you can re-play your note/drawing. Could be useful for sharing a sketch/mock up and want it shown in a certain order/presentation like way. That's about it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Oh ok. So call record is probably in the in call settings? Not sure as I was guessing that was it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chuko303:
Lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] TMPOOLE:
It's an option for the Whompasaurus Rom.

Whompasaurus Rom. Option using the Aroma installer.

Works great for any phone call. Press button and it records both ends of conversation for later recall. I use another application to playback the recordings. I use it instead of trying to juggle phone and write down parts of phone conversation.

Google Voice allowed me to record inbound phone calls with a voice prompt saying this call is being recorded. This option allows any phone call to be recorded without freaking anybody out. It just does its thing.

Lots of Roms have it as an option.

I bought the phone for the big screen, but having the S-Pen is cool too. My WinMo phones had a stylus in them back in the day, so the S-Pen kinda brings back some old memories, lol.

One thing I haven't figured out yet : once you've used the S-Pen to cut something out of a picture, how do you paste that cutout on to a different picture?
