I use to surf and watch movies at the same time on my desktop. Now with the Note I use the computer very little. I found this app that would give me even more reason to use my desktop less. I now can watch videos while I text, surf, read news etc. on my Note just like my desktop. The Note's big screen makes this app even more useful. Check out this app...

Wahouu, it works just fine. Now you can watch a youtube video while doing something else on your phone. I'm even writing this watching the video clip, rude boy of Rihanna of course. Sometimes it struggles, i think that the video player isn't perfect yet. Hopefully updates will add stability and features

I like it as a first step to real multitasking on android. There is the question of where to actually "stick it"! That is, for some cases, it would be nice if, instead of the image just covering part of the screen you might need to see, you would have the option of not displaying or making it transparent instead of moving the image to another area. For example, you might just want to listen to music on You Tube and not see the image while typing something up using the polaris editor.
Just sent the developer this email
Hi, I just bought your app and it's just amazing. I really like the idea. Sometimes it freezes the phone but I think that it's just a matter of time because future updates will make it more stable.
I'm more interested in features.
1. Possibility to watch on full screen
2. Possibility to have something like a playlist or more practical a queue. I mean if you disable multi screen options. If you wanna share another video with stick it, it would be great to have the possibility to queue up the last video or to play it straight away if you see what I mean.
3. Transparency. It would be great to be able to increase or decrease it so it will be possible le to watch the video and see what's on the background. You could inspire yourself with the controls of the video app MX Video player. The transparency could be set by swapping vertically.
4. Still abt the transparency, it would be great to have an option on the top android bar to activate or disable the possibility to interact with the video window. If disabled then it would be for instance possible to use the keyboard while watching the video.
Hope updates will feature some of these ideas

Looks interesting. Might give it a try..
Unfortunately it has Vitamio as backend. Vitamio has been known to erase video files from sdcard when performing its operation.

To be fair, it only uses the Vitamio codecs, and I doubt it was these that was erasing files.

I feel that Android as an OS falls short in it's multi-tasking abilities...
Just watch this:

After seeing Onskreen Cornerstone I can't even look at this App. (No offense intended to the developers)
It's good at what it does but Android needs proper multitasking.

So, here I am, owning a phone that has an OS designed by google, trying to click on links for youtube videos "also owned by google" and I get (This video is not available on mobile)
WTF google. I know that I can choose to "open in browser" and wish me luck trying to fullscreen it.
why is the native youtube for android so limited? Half of the new, popular videos are unwatchable.
is there a way around this?
I have the same exact problem and I think it sucks too. You would think since they own Youtube there would be awesome integration via the mobile site or the application but I have found they absolutely suck on both accounts. I either get the "video not available" error, or it just takes FOREVER to load on the application (which it didn't at all on my TP2). Jeez...
works fine for me, both as flash on the site and linking to the youtube app
I believe it has something to do with licensing maybe? I am going to go out on a limb and say it was a music video or something? If so, the only logical thing I can think of is that they do that so you aren't tempted to just keep replying the song instead of buying it?

have you tried the "hex edited flash" ?
I don't think it is that... some videos are just not meant for the app...
The thing that sucks is that it clears cache EVERY time you scroll back in a youtube video.
That needs to get fixed ASAP. Such an obvious flaw. I can't even watch a video in the app anymore. I use the browser, which the controls suck on as well.
It's copyrighted videos only...

I used to get those messages ALL the time, but after updating the app in the market, I've never gotten it again. Like go into the market, and download youtube.
Do the videos that you can't watch on mobile have ads before the actual video on desktop? I'm guessing some of the stuff is copyright material and are ad-driven. The mobile app doesn't display ads so maybe thats why it doesn't show.
And yea, it does suck, but i kinda understand how it would be this way. If they started showing ads to make the videos available on mobile, then people without "unlimited" data plans like new iphone users on the new ATT plans will complain that its eating up additional data, and a whole different round of complaints will go around.
Can't please everyone all the time.
Then they should just say it's due to ads. Or add a little confirmation box: "You must view an ad before you can see this video. This may cause you to incur extra data usage charges. Do you wish to continue?".
I somehow suspect it's due to some licensing crap, though. The MAFIAA don't want to accept that everything's a computer these days.
its not due to any ads. mobile viewing vs. desktop computer based viewing carry different licenses for content. there is nothing wrong with the app in regards to this.
when you upload videos there is an option to make that content available on mobile devices....
It depends on the video, and your internet connection.
I've found that if you retry to play a video, sometimes the 3G doesn't connect fast enough or load up enough of the video in time that the app likes, and it just spits out that generic message. You will probably have better luck on 4G or WiFi.
Also, some music videos and some other videos are restricted due to licensing issues. Majory being music videos though.
Just open it in the browser and hold your finger on the video for a second. You should see two boxes show up, one will make it full screen. I rarely even use the app any more because it's quicker for me to just pull up the page.
Same here, the page seems to just work better than the app. Hate the fact that forward/rewind wipes the cache, very annoying.
I was reading this article on gottabemobile.com About XDA porting the Netflix HD app to the Galaxy Nexus..and I thought, umm why don't I try that on my Note....Installed the APK from their link...OMG BEAUTIFUL. I started up the New Star Trek Movie, awesome, the old Star Trek, awesome again...the interface is a bit small as its made for tablets I guess, but just pull your stylus out and there is no problem here!
On one small note. I used Chrome to Phone to send myself the APK link. After I got the APK link I also got bombarded with spam links via Chrome to Phone on my notification bar. I had to uninstall Chrome to Phone after 12 notifications about "Hot Girls" I'm guessing this is almost like uncontrolled. pop ups on the server that was serving the APK file. Hopefully I can re-install it with-out the spam, as I use Chrome to Phone a lot!
Edit:
Just connected it to my LCD...it does not look like 1080p when compared to running a youtube 1080p video
Well darn...
I actually can't stand the interface. Without the stylus it's very hard to navigate. Very hard. I wish I could switch it back but still keep the high res video.
The normal netflix app on the Note was also very small as I remember from the handful of times I used it before I installed this APK. Though the actually interface does seam just a tad different.
OP are you sure about that?
I was under the impression that Netflix HD only will stream 720p content to OMAP equipped phones at the moment.
I tried the APK on my Note and movies look exactly the same as the regular Netflix App, still looking standard definition to me.
I have no way to confirm that it is actually playing HD. They look great to me. Though I must admit, I only used it a handful of times previously. The APK works and it's functional. I'll try and use the HDMI Out Cable and see if there is any improvident....
Edit:

don't discount this app just yet. It definitely plays video better than the app i installed it over. I watch a lot of space docs on netflix, and they have looked terrible because of the black "blockiness" problem with the note. This version of netflix looks amazing on the note compared to the one i had downloaded from the market. this fixes one of my only disappointments with my phone!
and it also gives me hope that the video issues can be fixed by software alone!

Can you tell me which APK you are using? I am sure we are using the same one and the picture is not any different to me than the stock. This is definitely not 720P. am I the only one who feels this way? Also I keep seeing people refer to HD content on Netflix. How can we tell which it is? Thanks.

Hi Everyone,
I think we need a thread for interesting videos - I don't see the point in opening up new threads for tiny little random video clips, unless they have a major talking point.
Anyway, here is a video of someoen showing the new 'blocking mode' that isn't on the note 1:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wKmZNcrCj8
Basically you can block various notifications at a scheduled time, and include a 'allow' list for certain people.
I think this new: s-note recording:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZuqKIkAizU
Another random thought while watching these videos -
Airplay is sure interesting. The ability to 'point' at something without selecting them is quite nice.
For example - tool tips in windows where you can get a little pop up box saying what an icon is, without actually pressing it.
- Frank
Slow motion:
the option to speed up is in there too lots of new special effects

This is an Quick Review of the Official Jelly Bean Update, which demonstrates some of the changes and features, which I thought would be useful for new people interested in this ROM and also those with the ROM to take a look at.
I plan on making an In-Depth review in a couple of days that will hopefully mention all aspects of the tablet, if you guys think you've found some great features feel free to leave a comment in the video or if you have any questions about the update so that I can mention/answer them in the In-Depth Video that should be ready in a couple days.
You can also post some changes you have found here in this thread and how your experience has been with the New Jelly Bean Update; Thanks for the help guys.

Hey - great Video.
I noticed something on 4.1.1 (and did not see it in your video). It took me for a spin-loop the first time: When downloading something fom the web (deafult browser) it does not save the file anymore to the internal (/mnt/sdcard/Downloads) - but instead to the external SD-card (I assume when one is present. I have not tried it without my externalSD yet.
Thanks again for the features.....

One disappointing thing I have noticed in s note.
If you wish to have a custom background based upon an image it does not save that image as a template background for future sessions. You must go through the entire process each time. I prefer to write with a white pen on black lined paper. It would be nice if the background gallery would retain this option for me between sessions.
Also I do not see any way for us to custom design our own templates. Am I missing something? I can think of a number of layouts I would like which they do not offer by default.

Yeah, if its possibe, ideally enough so we can read the menu options, pause the video so we can see if anythings new or changed, generally a better view of everything, if its possible, i assume you do it this way because its easier, less fiddly not worrying about being out of camera, im assuming

If you save a blank note with the background you want, when you want to start a new note, open the orginal and "save as" before you start using it. The orginal "sort of" becomes a template. Kind of crude but faster than changing the background each time. I think the S-Note we have is going to be the S-Note we'll be living with for quite a while.

So Google done gone and broke YouTube in the latest version. The full screen button is now gone when you dock your transformer (any version).
Perhaps someone has a link to the old version they can post....I stupidly had YouTube set to auto update.....

YouTube Lags
Hi guys,
i have another problem with the new YouTube app but i didn't want to make a new thread.
Everytime i watch videos in higher quality and in the video are fast movements, it jumps forward for 1 or 2 seconds. I have the impression, that my transformer handles the video to slow, because if i watch films where is no real action, everything is fine.
I hope you understand me and sorry for my bad school english.
Edit: their is a problem with the framerate but i don't know what to do.
