[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] zetachi:
hmm when I got my S4 i ordered the extra battery from Samsung. They sent me an S3 battery by mistake and it did not fit in my S4

I've also see this in many places

2100 mah for s3. 2600 for s4. They are not the same. The s4 is physically larger as well

So wondering how the external battery charges can fit them both?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] big samm:
I strongly recommend to use the charger that came with the phone. .. it is 2.0 amp vs .800 milli amp.... Your phone will charge much slower...

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] poncespr:
Actually I have tried both the standard and extended batteries from my S3 on my S4 and they fit and work just fine. There is a small gap on the right side but the batteries do not move, probably because the metal contacts keep them from moving to this empty space. I would not use them myself, but they do fit and work.

The charger works because it has an opening on the right side so it can accommodate the larger S4 battery.

Slow charging is usually better on batteries.

The faster you charge, more heat is on the battery and is usually detrimental. Although most batteries and fast chargers have built in circuitry to prevent damage.

I've been using Nova because well... it's Nova! But Apex has an option to use the tablet UI found on many 10' tablets and I'm interested in that. But how does it stack up against Nova for speed, smoothness, lack of lag, stability, battery, and memory use?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] kentondb:
Never used Nova but I've been running Apex since purchase and it's great.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] albundy2010:
Its a preference really, apex spaces things better than nova. Apex will look like stock on the device while nova wont.

Apex vertical widget scrolling is slow and choppy. Nova isn't.

Both are free. Install them and see what you like better.

i use nova on my nexus4, i downloaded it on the tablet and i felt lag in the app drawer so i decided to go with apex, havnt had scroll lag yet:good:

Does anyone know if there is a feature buried somewhere in the default photo editor to join two images together into one side-by-side image? I know there is software out there on the store that can do it, but I like to keep my phone clean of software that I dont need.

Hi everyone, i recently got an htc one x (13 months old, bought second hand) and found that following sensors aren't working:-

-Gyroscope

-Proximity Sensor

-Accelerometer

Is there any solution for these or it is hardware fault, if so, how much would it cost to get them repaired, if possible? :confused:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Themes and Apps] brecklundin:
I just fell in love. Was checking out Papyrus android app because much as I like Lecture Note and S-note they both Can get on my last nerve. I stumbled across what bills itself as a "stylus based wordprocessor". It's called Stylus Write... watched the video demo of Papyrus in Play Store then stumbled across a Stylus Write video... I was instantly smitten. Here is that video:

[youtube]eWyxTKa2tZ0[/youtube]

I think that shows how powerful a tool an active stylus can be. Hope it gives the OP more insight and options.

Best of all the app is FREE!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.styluslabs.write

Obviously this is based on a very brief interaction, maybe 30mins, so before the net nitpickers decend, lighten up. :p these things take time but I 'm hoping a few folks have tried it already & can add their take comparing to other options.

I was leaning to switching to Papyrus but it just did not feel like a good fit for me. Know what I mean? Some apps just don't feel right to you. Write, however, appeals to me on some visceral level.

EDIT

Found the twitter feed for Stylus Labs:

How does it work with palm rejection?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Themes and Apps] brecklundin:
yes it does support palm rejection with automatic pen dection. There are also quite a few options to control input.

---

After playing with this app a bit. And it's excellent. I can't compare to the win, Linux, Mac versions but the Android version seems stable. I get a sense the android version maybe the least mature port. There are features not yet present but the dev seems to be actively improving all versions.

There is no HWR → typeface conversion so all notes are saved d diplayed as hand written.

It could use TAGS though it does have BOOKMARKS which seem a quite powerful tool when paired with HTML link support.

Something I find interesting is notes are in HTML format using vector (SVG) to gen the content. If you haven't visited the website take a peek as the whole site is handwritten. That makes for a different look.

Because Write also lets you add HTML links it would be easy to build quite a complex cross-referenced note system--- well as long as you can keep the links updated and in your head. But how great would it be to wireframe (or even a production) sites with natural writing and stylus?

Best way to learn it is to just watch the brief and concise YouTube video. Pretty much everything is in that video.

Basically it's definitely an evolving app. I think there are more than enough features now to make this worthy of being your"daily driver" note taker app. And for sure worth at least an install even if just to use now and then.

Oh, I don't remember seeing ANY ads. Now that makes it even better. :cool:

Glad so many are liking this one. Like I posted earlier it was just one of those app which " feels" right out of the gate. Of course I've run into expected features absent but given there are other more mature versions confidence & patience should be rewarded. Well as long as some SF Munir Bus driver doesn't go rogue rogue &. decide sidewalks are the "new asphalt" and develop a vendetta against the dev if he/she visits. :sly:

Anyone know if you can export the text, with all formatting, to evernote?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Themes and Apps] brecklundin:
Well have you tried?

The file output is HTML with graphics as SVG (vector) but for direct sharing with Evernote not sure since Evernote does not support handwritten input directly but their Stitcher is commonly used to get that style notes into Evernote.

EDIT:

Not an Evernote fan or user but the only way I see is to select → copy to Scrapbook then attach that as a file. best info I can offer but one reason I don't use Evernote are things like this along with a few other issues when it was new.

Pressing the button should change the pen function, right? But no.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Themes and Apps] brecklundin:
Thx...

I tried it and it's not you. I tried holding The button while carrying out the action and it didn't switch to "erase tool" either. Maybe we missed a co-setting, maybe it's oneof those features needing fixed & we can contact the dev?

Good find! I've not fiddled with all the settings yet.

Hi, I'm the developer of Write. Unfortunately, the pen button isn't working on Samsung devices. It appears I can get it to work by integrating the S-Pen SDK, which I hope to do in the next major update.

I will subscribe to this thread, so please feel free to post any other comments or issues.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Themes and Apps] kisrita:
Is there a way to import notes from Lecture Notes? This would allow me to switch to this app, but I haven't been able to figure out how to import existing notebooks.

Also, how can you back up notes to the external sdcard and to the cloud. Can we use something like dropsync?

PS: the eraser end of the 8pi pen does work. Just not the side button.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Themes and Apps] matthjes:
This is also a feature I'm very interested in. Using bookmarks / tags one could come up with a hand-written wiki system, which I would find very! interesting. With just some more functions (like being able to, e.g., select some text and having the option to create a link from this text to a new document, which one could then edit), this could be really powerful. Maybe it's already possible now, I've only played with this app fro some minutes, but reading through some notes and then clicking on a link / bookmark to open another note would be really great.

I like some things in this app, i.e. you can move the text easily and fast, the space insertion, the bookmarks, or the curious undo tool (even if sometimes is too fast), but I miss important options like using the keyboard to add text, shapes insertions, and I think the option to change the pen size is too hidden to be used as often as I am using it, it should be easier to find it. I hope the developer will consider this to future versions of this good app, t.y.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Themes and Apps] PBSurf:
I believe Lecture Notes stores pages as image files (.png), so although you could use Write's image insert feature to paste the images onto pages in Write, it would not be possible to do any editing, besides drawing on top and using the eraser (in "free eraser" mode). There is no automated way to import multiple images at the moment.

Other users have reported success with DropSync. There is no built-in backup mechanism, besides the "Backup Documents" option in the menu which just creates a zip file with the contents of the /sdcard/styluslabs/write folder.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Themes and Apps] MasK:
Fantastic app, mainly due to it's simplicity and SPEED! Not to mention, the svg file can be viewed on PC!

Here's some feedback for for the developer:

1) Ability to skin would be nice. Just some aesthetic enhancements

2) Document list could support list view perhaps. The small thumbnail may still be too big esp if you have many notes

3) Are we able to disable the Spen hover function when using this app? Snotes works in this aspect. Don't quite like to dot following me around as I write. I also don't want to permanently disable it :)

4) It's difficult to decode the saved notes locations. If I'm viewing on the PC, I can' tell which note belongs to which note folder. Perhaps have have something similar to Snote where the note name is the filename of the svg file and that it is saved in subfolders according to the note folders.

Just my 2 cents ;)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Themes and Apps] PBSurf:
Thanks for the feedback. I will look into disabling the hover function as part of adding improved SPen support. I also plan to improve the file storage so that it more closely matches the folders and titles in the document list UI. In the meantime, if it is a major problem, you could try using a file manager (ES File Explorer works) instead of the document list UI. You can then name and organize document files as you like. Tapping a .html file should provide an option to open in Write. To create a new document, just create a blank .html file and open it with Write.

Hi Matt,

So I'm testing out S-Note, Papyrus, Lecture Notes, and Stylus Write. The one killer feature for me is the ability to erase the last thing I wrote by just tapping the screen in Papyrus. Does Lecture Notes or Stylus have this? I looked but couldn't find it?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Themes and Apps] PBSurf:
Yes, docTitle and docTags (which corresponds to the folder in the document list) are not updated until the next time the document is opened. I will address this as part of the improvements to file storage in the next major release.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Themes and Apps] Idan73:
Few things I would like to have is auto import feature. As i use dropsync to sync files created on note 8 (i primarily use it to sketch top view of the house, footage, price, as I use it to quote jobs) , but sometimes when I don't have note with me, I like to re able to review quotes on the go on my sgs4. This means, now I have to manually go to preferences advanced and import files from my synced storage, every single time... Otherwise they don't show in app.

Also due to screen size difference, it's hard to find file as only a section of the note is visible on sgs4 as well as only part of the filename and when you finally open note you have to manually zoom out every single time. I would like to see auto reflow, auto zoom function so that notes from note8 are equally visible on any other device. Note that I'm not asking for note to be rescaled permanently to other resolution, I would like files to be unchanged, just fully visible.

Also importing from pdf, would be most welcome. The only usable format that snote will provide as export. I have tons of notes, quotations, that I would like to switch over.

Is it possible to have a diary template with date insert support? I'll be really happy if you could provide more templates instead of the plain page format. I'm sorry if I missed those settings accidentally.in that case please tell me how to do those operations. Thanks for the wonderful app!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Themes and Apps] PBSurf:
Auto import will be added in the next major update. In the meantime, if you can do without the preview images, using a file manager instead of Write's built-in document list might be a solution (see this post).

For auto zoom, how about an option to always open documents zoomed to fit the page width or page height to the screen?

I do plan to add PDF import in the future, although not in the next update.

Beyond the ability to configure rule and grid lines in the Page Setup dialog or insert an image of the template and scale it to fill the page, there is no support for templates yet, although I plan to add this in the future.

I am loving this app. Much faster to use for me than s-note. with s-note I fall behind in classes during note taking because if i mess up writing anything i have to select eraser, erase , select pen, write. with this I just select eraser, erase(much faster eraser since i can just run over the word once with line eraser) and write. selecting different pen modes if much faster too. also when writing near the edge of the page it tends to scroll a lot less than s-note.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Themes and Apps] p107r0:
Matt, thanks for the app and for the unbeatable price, two unrelated questions:

1. is this thread going to become main Write support/ideas thread? if so, and if you are able/willing to participate as much as you do now, then maybe it would be good to ask the mods to have it moved to the Android Apps forum?

2. I'd love to donate, but you don't have the Donate button... ?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Themes and Apps] esoh:
First, I agree with you, the erasing ability is one of the key differentiators of the various note apps. Couple of quick points.

1. If you do take a ton of notes (i.e., in class), you may want to consider this pen:

http://www.amazon.com/Original-Sams...?ie=UTF8&qid=1379344184&sr=8-3&keywords=s-pen

Works with our Note, and has an "eraser" end where you can just turn the pen over and rub and it erases. Very functional, avoids you having to press different buttons.

2. I'm still evaluating note taking apps, but I'm using Papyrus right now and it has an ability to use your finger to tap on something you want to erase. It's very handy, but not sure if the app itself would work for you. As I said, I'm still evaluating various options.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Themes and Apps] blackyneko:
Thats what iam looking for.

Many thx.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Themes and Apps] lanwarrior:
Is the "eraser" functionality a system-wide action? I.e. regardless of WHICH APPS I use, (3rd party or built-in Samsung apps), the eraser function still works.

There is no point getting this pen if it ONLY works with S-Note.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Themes and Apps] esoh:
I just tested it on the following apps. And keep in mind that I only spent about 1 minute per app, so there is a strong likelihood that it could work on other apps by changing settings, etc.

S-Note - Eraser works

Papyrus - Eraser works

Lecture Notes - Eraser works

Stylus Write - Eraser doesn't seem to work

Can anyone comment on eraser working with Stylus Write?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Themes and Apps] staplebox:
What do you all use to open the Write files on another android device ? I guess I could intsall the app on my galaxy nexus but don't want to just for viewing.

I am using dropsync to back up the root write files to dropbox. I can open the html files on my win desktop but nothing on my phone seems to work for viewing.

Basically, I take notes all day long at work. All my phone calls go in one long note. Other meetings and such get their own notes.

I'd like to be able to take a quick look at them sometimes on my phone. I won't ever edit them on my phone.

Any suggestions to do this better?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Themes and Apps] Kumabjorn:
In my opinion one improvement would be to get rid of the erase icon, giving you more real estate for other features, and then add a trash can icon to the selected area if you want to delete it.

I know there are several SVG viewers to choose betweenbut you are still installing an app "just" view the SVG format so why not install Write as your viewer? It's only about 1.9mb in size.

I'm happy to move the thread, although I haven't used xda much and don't know the procedure. Thanks for offering to donate. The best thing to do is just to help spread the word about Write.

The eraser definitely used to work in Write - perhaps something went wrong in a recent update since I last checked. I will look into it.

Write documents should be viewable in the Android browser (and Chrome and Firefox for Android).

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Themes and Apps] brecklundin:
Matt,

Am using Write more and more. Right now I have a project where I will keeping a journal which will:

(1) use at least one photo/page;

(2) All pages will have notes (I would love to write notes directly on to some photos);

(3) Resize image on page with the ability to rotate an image or specify a percentage of a page;

(4) Smart scaling of an image during importing especially if the image is very large. Having to create smaller image versions just for use in journal will be a bit disruptive to my photo edit workflow, still its workable short term.

Of course if image import is not going to happen for awhile..."never mind" ... I have other options until Write gets refined image handling.

So far when I tried importing a JPG the app crashes. I did submit an error report via Android/Play error pop-up.

Thanks...

It looks like there's a problem with the latest update on the Galaxy Note 8.0. Please uninstall and reinstall Write if you are experiencing crashes. Use Preferences -> Advanced -> Import existing documents to restore the document list after reinstalling.

The problem appears to be related to the Google Play incremental update mechanism and I don't know how to work around it or why only the Note 8.0 seems to be affected. If you have root access and can send a directory listing of /data/app-lib, it would be greatly appreciated.
