Wondering if s-pen is any good for taking extended notes? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General

Just completed a week long training course with no pen and paper, just the Note for, well, notes.
I wrote 35 pages and synchronised them all to Google Docs. Very impressed and will probably use it for customer meetings in future.
I find it works best for me with the pencil selected (seems faster, possibly because it's laying down less pixels). Taking notes in landscape mode also works better well as I can write big and still fit lots on the page.

Its good for notes!
I guess the clues in the name but after a two hour meeting last week making hand written notes, taking screen shots, writing on them and then finishing up bringing them all together in Evernote. Its great for taking notes, but you could do with one app to bring them all together like a planner or something - that could sync with a desktop PC - that would help no end. Good luck with your new toy!

Icons on WM5

Hi,
Could someone tell me if there's a way to change/remove the icons from the today screen. I'm talking about the little butterfly, the house, the messenger icon and the envelope.
Thanks
Andrew
Did you steal your device or something ?
It's in the manual, but here you go...
Start > Settings > Today > Items tab
disable and re-order the Today Screen items there
No, I actually bought it. Actually it never crossed my mind to read the manual. Maybe it's a bad habit.
Thanks
:lol:

I'm much the same, actually... I like to just sit down and poke at things (found the today screen settings that way, for example).. but manuals do sometimes have good information that you can't easily stumble upon otherwise.. so once I feel 'ok' with a device/piece of software, I read through the entire manual once, and highlight (or note down) the bits that are interesting and seem non-obvious.

Creating a simple Calendar App - need help

Dear bros,
I'm having the Diamond, and a number of owners including me are not happy abt the number of appointments shown in the front page of the touchFlo3D.
Therefore, I have decided to create a small app that will open up in a small window (or a nice background) and will display all upcoming appointments regardless of which day it falls on.
This function is very similar to O2plus plugin as you can see in one of my older today screens:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The thing is, I plan to use VB.net but I'm kinda lost. *please don't flame me on this.. just asking help
I've used the classic VB for windows apps long time ago and I've lost touch. I'd really appreciate if someone could help me with the code, just to display the next appointment or something. I'll build it up from there.
Here's an example in C# which I can't get it to work:

I've got all the tools needed: VB.net 2005, WM6 SDK, etc.
Thanks once again!
Cheers.

At last! A decent facebook solution?

Look here

Do you think we can extract this and put on the HD. We need a solution to rival the iPhone

doesn't look as good, but better that the default I think http://faceofmobile.com
bump bump bump
guys. try http://iphone.facebook.com on your touch hd.
as well as any optimized iphone websites. works like a charm for me
http://iphone.netvibes.com
http://www.digg.com/iphone/
http://iphone.foodnetwork.com/
etc.
I always used snap2face (Now known as SkyBook) on my Kaiser. (HD is in a delivery van now!)
http://www.magnifoca.com/products.html
Really liked the ability to import facebook profile pictures into WM Outlook.... Very cool.
Snap2Face is slow, its design crude and its functionality dreadful. We need a proper dedicated facebook app and this Xperia panel looks the ticket.
please can someone get this working on a HD... I would be willing to make a Paypal donation and I am sure others will too...
The way Sony Ericsson is trying to fragment the windows mobile community with its exclusive 'panels' is really negative..
still nothing??!
Theres even a facebook app for Android now, but yet again WM gets left out in the cold. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON??!

BUMP for the sake of the Windows Mobile community

Phone Canvas for Treo Pro?

Hi all,
has any of you ever come across any ports of HTC Phone Canvas to our Treo Pro (WM6.1), like the ones depicted below? I have been looking for this all over, but to no avail.

i personally havent, sorry. the problem with the treo is that the screen is 320x320... and almost every other phone made is not a square resolution. there is a program that is called iconsoft phone extension. it gives you a new dialer, contact screen, and phone canvas. it is $25, but there is a free 15 day trial. for me, i usually flash my phone every week or two... so the limit doesnt really matter
you can check it out, it is very nice and replaces the default phone application. it does suck about 2mb of ram however
http://www.iconsoft.com/?language=en&menu=62e094db10fc83b1
edit: it is really easy to use, and very finger friendly. i have tried using the different phone canvases, but they are usually hard to set up right...
yep, I had tried Iconsoft (PhonEx) before and have to admit it is very impressive indeed. Its footprint is discouraging as you have mentioned. On a relatively fresh system it works rather zippy but I wonder how things go with plenty other apps installed and running. Well, need to keep on looking and hoping for a port ...

[Q] Making a homemade pen

Would it be possible to make a homemade inductive pen for the note? I think it would be interesting since the original is to small and the adapter is too expensive.

For now I've made this lame "adapter"(I really don't know how to call it), but it works pretty good. I used an old pen I had around. Of course you can't use the button, but it's something to start.
That is the difference with the original adapter+spare pen.
That one does have a button
And frankly 30 euros is not really expensive.
If you work on a home made for one hour it'll cost you nearly the same.
Not taking in account the creative pleasure of doing it ofcourse.
If you want a very suitable pen i can suggest to buy the IBM X41 tablet pen... it works very well and you have 2 buttons on it... one works like the one on the original pen... the other buttons pressed change the pen in cancel mode... i tried it.. and it's work perfectly...
otherwise i think that all the wacom pen works well with note
(sorry for my very bad english)
thanks, I will look into it.
