Question about voice speed dial:
Is it possible to replace voice talk with this app. I mean when I press my call button on the Bluetooth headset note activates voice talk. Also double click of the home button activates voice talk.
Since my language is Serbian I have little to no use of voice talk. On the other hands ability to voice tag calls or applications is much better.

Are you sure this is no virus/spyware/adware?
For some reason all Youtube downloaders seem to be viruses, even on the PC.
I don't know why the virusmakers all seem to do youtube downloaders but they do. The website that you linked says it isn't a virus. To me when a site claims their software isn't a virus, it usually IS. The site looks kind of dodgy too.
Is there a way to detect a virus in android apps without installing a bloated antivirus on the phone? Does something exist where you can check android files for viruses on the PC?

Been using this for ages, since Galaxy S time. No issues mate. Have it on my Galaxy S, 8.9 and Note.

I decided to translate a preview of the Samsung Galaxy S III that I found on Finland's number one Android site, androidsuomi.fi
I encourage you to visit the original blog post, there are some nice pics of the phone and the UI as well as some sample videos!
The text of the review has been translated to english by me, so that everyone here can enjoy it. I do apologize for the somewhat clumsy translation work, turns out it was really really hard - and it definitely made me realize just how lousy Google Translate is... It was of very little help in the end!

I want to say to everyone who thinks the phone is ugly on the basis of the press photos, you are wrong. Thank you. Samsung's press photos do not in any way do justice to the device, and the device seems somehow very unnatural in the official photos. In person the device is truly stunning and one of the best looking Android phones on the market today. I am recommending to everyone who is scared of the device's looks to check out the device in the wild. If the device even after that appears to be an ugly mistake, then you are very hard to please.
Samsung has decided to stand out from the predecessor also when it comes to the sales presentation of the device, and unlike the Galaxy S II's packaging, the new phone's packaging is a virgin white. The box does not contain any oddities, in addition to the phone there is a battery pack, headphones, quick guides, a charger, and a microUSB cable.
Externally, the device looks like the next generation of the SGS2 and the Galaxy Nexus, with the design language of the Nexus, but adding to that the SGS2's width and the physical keys. Speaking of the width, the device is only 4 mm wider than the SGS2, but feels narrower in the hand, thanks to its rounded figure. On the front of the device we find a 4.8 "1280 × 720, HD resolution Super AMOLED display and on the top of the screen is a 2 Mpix webcam.
At the bottom of the display we find a redrafted version of Samsung's home key which can be found next to the menu and back buttons. Thank you once again Samsung for leaving the menu button on an Android 4.0 phone, because it makes it a lot easier to use the phone. The staff of this site have never really liked the native, badly designed menu button of ICS, a physical one is much more comfortable to work with. On the right edge we find the power button, volume control on the left, on the top is a 3.5-mm headphone jack and on the bottom is a MHL-equipped microUSB interface. Back cover has a main camera equipped with an 8 Mpix backlit sensor, LED flash and a speaker.
On the top of the screen we also find a tri-color notification LED; when the device is being charged it is lit in red, when charging is complete it's lit in green, and if you have unacknowledged notifications, the LED indicates this in a blue color.
Samsung has made a lot of changes to the interface and already when you start the device for the first time you will notice that change is expected as according to the device's "natural and designed for people" theme, the startup sound has changed to be more "organic".
The next change greets you at the lock the screen, which has received changes with a heavy hand; in addition to the old weather and time, the lock screen gives you the opportunity to receive news headlines at the bottom of the screen, in their own expandable space. Unfortunately, the benefits of this from a Finnish point of view is limited, given that, at least in its current version, the software uses the Yahoo! News source, which does not provide any Finnish news headlines. In addition, it is possible to have quick start shortcuts to four optional applications on the lock screen, much like on the devices by a certain three-letter named manufacturer. In addition, one can enter S Voice right from the lock screen, either by saying "Hi Galaxy" or by saying any other user configureable phrase. The unlock effect has changed and taking the place of the former lock and ball is now a dynamic, touch-sensitive, water. Fortunately, all of these features can be switched on or off according to one's will.
For those who want quick access to the camera, but do not like the camera icons, Samsung has added a clever gesture to the lock screen that opens the camera quickly. The gesture consists of tapping the screen with a finger, holding the finger pressed on the screen while tilting the phone into landscape mode.
The desktop is not that different from its predecessor, but Samsung has finally made it so the middle desktop is the main one on the III.
The panel view that makes jumping between desktops easier has gotten the "make this desktop the default desktop" button that is familiar from the newer Galaxy Tabs. With this feature, those who are used to the home screen ordering of the SGS2 can choose to make the first desktop to be the default desktop.
The notification area has also some welcome new features: In addition to the old shortcuts it is now possible to toggle mobile data on and off right from the notification area. In addition, the date now appears in the notification area, the "clear" button has been narrowed and a shortcut key to the phone's settings has been added.
It is now possible to switch the settings to display the battery charge as a percentage in the notification area, which should please those who always enable this feature using a third-party application.
As I mentioned at the beginning, Samsung has retained the menu button on the device, and slightly in violation of the Android 4.0 user interface design, forced the menus to open at the bottom edge of the display. This is actually a good change, since it facilitates the use of the phone with one hand considerably. The missing multitasking button is replaced by holding the home key pressed down.
The pre-installed software consists of: FM radio, Gallery, Game Hub-game store, Gmail, Google + Search, Browser, Calendar, Clock, Camera, Calculator, Latitude, Maps, Music Player, File Manager, Voice Memos, S Suggest app recommendation tool, Samsung Apps, E-mail, Talk, Video Player, Messages, Contacts and Youtube. Samsung has also included instant messenger ChatOn, which recognizes other ChatOn users on the basis of their telephone number and automatically adds them as contacts in the application.
In addition to these, we have the Music Hub, which is unfortunately not available in Finland and AllShare Play, an application that allows your computer to display media content stored on your computer on the phone over the internet, anywhere. Unfortunately, we did not get AllShare Play the desktop application to connect with the phone. Although the app was on our phone, it probably is an unfinished version of the application, so we are going to test this feature again when we get our hands on the device sporting the final version of the software.
Samsung has packed the S-memo application into the device, a familiar app from the Galaxy Note the familiar, which manages small notes with ease. Samsung also sells a separate capacitive C-Pen stylus as an accessory to the Galaxy S III. Those who purchased the Note may however breathe a sigh of relief, because the accuracy is quite a different class (mostly only slightly better than using a finger) and pressure detection is totally absent.
It also comes with Dropbox, and activating it on the phone will be rewarded by 50 gigabytes (or 48, if you're already an existing user) of disk space for two years.
Samsung has also included its own S-Voice speech recognition system, which is capable of a variety of tasks such as scheduling, creating calendar entries, sending text messages, making phone calls and searching for data online.
S Voicella can also take pictures "hands free", as with the S Voice it is possible to unlock the phone, start the camera and trigger the camera by voice control.
Voice control also works elsewhere, for example, it is possible to respond to an incoming call using the command "answer", it is possible to snooze an alarm with "snooze", in the radio and music player it is possible to change the track and adjust the volume with the appropriate commands. Although the above screen capture could conclude that the S Voice would support Finnish, it does not, unfortunately. The above commands are mainly a translator error that will be corrected in the final version of the software. S Voice officially supports German, English, Spanish, French, Italian and Korean.
One of the niftiest reforms is the "Intelligent time-out" (Smart Stay), this feature takes advantage of the front camera and face detection to check if the phone is used, to prevent an automatic shutdown feature of the screen. This feature allows you to drop the "screen off" limit to as low as 15 seconds, because the feature works extremely well. When enabled, the only sign that the phone is looking at you is the flickering eye icon occasionally seen in the notification area. This is a great feature, especially for apps that can not keep the phone awake. This function is also able to monitor whether the user has fallen asleep or whether he/she has put the phone on a table for example, and then a device that has a long "screen off" setting would shut off its display much earlier.
New gestures have also been added in addition to the old familiar ones and the quick start camera gesture mentioned in the beginning of the article. One of them is "direct call", which allows calling the contact displayed on the screen simply by lifting the telephone to the ear. If desired, all the gesture-control systems can be switched off.
Samsung has also enabled mirroring the device wirelessly to the big screen using the AllShare Cast feature, a feature that has of course been directly added to new Samsung TV sets (2012 series), but other devices can have this functionality too using an AllShare Cast dongle. The dongle is connected to your TV to an available HDMI port, and after this, the television is AllShare Cast-compatible. Unfortunately, this feature is not really suitable for gaming because at least using an AllShare Cast dongle, there was discernible lag, evident in the video above.
The video player has also received an update and the Pop Up Play feature allows video to play in a freely movable small window on the screen, making it possible to do other things while watching the video. Pop Up Play also allows the transmission video from the phone to the big screen; AllShare Cast allows you to continue checking e-mail for example, or surfing the web at the same time while the video is running on your TV. In the current software version the Pop Up Play button was however disabled when the phone was connected to AllShare Castiin. The function should be included in the retail version, though. The video player is also able to offer DLNA-devices on the same local area network as an alternative screen automatically, and you don't therefore have to search for them separately.
The Gallery also has face recognition technology, and now the people in the pictures are automatically detected and then it is possible to call or send a message to a person by tapping their face.
1080p video without image stabilization:
1080p video with image stabilization enabled:
The camera has also been given a huge number of improvements and it now includes a real HDR-shooting mode, which takes multiple images and makes them the HDR, a burst mode that records at a whopping 3.3 frames per second, a smile shot mode which automatically takes a picture when the subject smiles and a "beauty" mode, which automatically smoothes skin roughness like in millions of social media images. In addition to these improvements we find an image-sharing mode that allows one-click image sharing with the subjects, because the camera recognizes the facial images of the people being photographed and matches them using your contacts image database. The camera captures 1080p-resolution video of course, and for the first time in a Samsung device we have an image stabilizer for video recording. The image stabilizer also works when the 720p resolution front camera is used.
The camera's panorama function has also been improved, and now when the recording is activated, a preview of the panorama is shown at the bottom of the screen. When the recording ends, the camera renders this preview into a single image.
The Galaxy S III image quality compared to the Note is slightly sharper, the image compression algorithm of the S III has clearly been tweaked. We will publish more examples and image comparisons once we have the final version of the software in our hands.
The burst mode is excellent, especially when capturing fast-moving objects.
On launch day, Samsung releases a series of accessories which have already been mentioned, C Pen and AllShare Cast Dongle, and additionally: TPU plastic protective covers, a desktop docking station with a 3.5 mm audio output, a battery dock, and an MHL-adapter for HDMI output.
Also found in accessories is a Flip Cover case with its own integrated battery cover.
As I already said in my summary of the London announcement event, the Samsung Galaxy S III is an excellent extension of the S-series and even though the hardware has only experienced a small evolutionary step forward, the software side of things has undergone a revolution, thanks to the increased power reserves. This brings the unit to a new level, because the device is also just incredibly smooth and fast. It makes the SGS2 feel and look antique, as well as making my own Note feel slow and rigid, and that device is by no means a snail. Strangely enough, my wallet has begun to feel hot in my pocket, and for the first time in a long time I have felt interest in browsing the online shops of carriers.
During our weekend of testing, I found only one thing to complain about. The capacitive buttons were a little too sensitive, especially when shooting with the camera it was easy to accidentally press them, but this is a problem that can be solved in the software, and it may well be that in the final version, the problem does not exist. For those looking for a new smartphone, SGS III is the number one choice.

Many thanks for the translation effort, and greetings from a fellow scandinavian.

The link has something about S Memo, what are they saying?
Was he complaining? Because he looked like he was struggling with it a little.
Thanks in advance!

He wrote that people who own GNote shouldn't worry, because c-pen for sgs3 isn't nearly as accurate. It lacks pressure sensitivity and was just slight improvement over using your fingers.

Hi Kiahnlliya,
Thanks for translating my article
Just one thing, we are Androidsuomi, eventhough it translates to Androidfinland, and we do indeed have the Androidfinland.fi domain, the sites name should not be translated.
Thank you very much for the effort!

The "Everything I Wish I Could Change About S-Note" Thread...

First of all, what is up with that stupid pan box that covers half your writing area if you are in split screen? I mean seriously how did that crap make it out the front door? Instead how about something brand new like a "scroll bar" that takes up no room at all? I know its crazy but the fact word processors and browsers have used them for years might have tipped someone off that they actually work?
So instead of the proven and unobtrusive scroll bar we get a HUGE pan box right in the middle of everything? Tragic stupidity.
Also, even when I have the page set to pen only input the page keeps zooming in and out everytime I rest my palm on the screen to write. Again, why Samsung why? Do you focus test anything before you release it? With the Note you have now had a year to get this app right and it is still so incredibly broken? Fire everyone and hire some developers who have a clue about usability.
Also, would it KILL you to give me an option for a white piece of lined paper to write on instead of that weird brown color? No we get no white lined paper by we do get about 10 lined options that are nothing like anything I have ever seen in the real world. I mean what IS some of that stuff?
How about letting us design our own templates and choose our own input boxes? How about letting me use a picture from my gallery as a background?
Choices Samsung. Users want choices and you give us none.

One can only hope. But I am coming from the HTC View where they made many insanely stupid choices with their notes app that never got fixed so I am somewhat jaded at this point.

I agree this is also annoying. What I found helps is that I set the option to see the crosshairs on the screen when the pen is close, so I know when palm rejection will kick in. Remember, palm rejection only kicks in when the pen is close to the screen, even in pen-only mode (which I agree defeats the purpose of that mode altogether).

I agree with this as well, I was very confused at the lack of options. I can't even set it to legal size.
One thing that you didn't mention that drives me crazy, is the inability to change the name/title of the note while you are in it. You can see the name in the upper left, but you can't long press on it (or click it) to edit. That minor change would be VERY welcome to me.

The "LectureNotes" app is much better than the s-notes app. It works great. It does not have handwriting recognition, but I don't find it that useful in s-notes. What I would like is to OCR the whole thing once I was done taking notes. Anyway, there's a free trial version of LectureNotes available. Give it a try in the Play Store. You can adjust paper color, etc, etc.

Unless you're panning, why do you need to be in overview mode? You can stay in writing mode and just move the work area around if you need to by pressing two fingers on it. Or am I missing something?

Love LN, and if you need vector graphics there's always Quill, though I've heard others are closing fast. I use 7notes with mazec for the HWR.

I'm kind of using what you guys say is broken as a way of exploring what the Note can (and can't) do. You can basically set any background you want on a note you're creating with seperate designs for the cover and pages within. To get white lined paper, all I did was scan a piece at 600DPI and save it as a JPEG. In settings on the S-Note home page there's an "import" button. I imported the JPEG and presto, lined white paper. It's a pretty cool feature for company letter head, watermarks, and other stuff you might want to use. Granted we should be able to create our own templates but it's a work-around for the time being.
Here's a link to the JPEG on Dropbox if you want to play with it yourselves. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/73155531/Scan_Pic0002.jpg

OK as long as we are in full piss and moan mode here, how about if you are using the keyboard and you minimize it. You can't open it again without clicking back to the pen icon and then the keyboard icon again. If you click the keyboard icon when you are already in typing mode it shows you formatting options but the keyboard doesn't reappear.
I would really rather stay with the snotes app if possible than using LectureNotes because it has more functions and i can type.

The stuff you're pointing out is absolutely stuff that's helpful. This is my fourth Samsung device so I've gotten pretty good at thinking like a Korean s/w developer. In a lot of cases there's a way of doing what you want you just have to go through the gymnastics to figure out the Korean interpretation.

OK, so I'm in text mode and minimize the keyboard. To get it back I just have to touch the screen anywhere and it reappears. If go to drawing mode, make some squiggles with the pen, and then click the keyboard icon it comes up by itself. EXCEPT: If I've got the pen-only icon active.
After a few months you'll be thinking like a Korean s/w developer too.

your relationship with this tablet is a freaking drama, lol.

I still have the old 0.1 version of S Note in Titanium backup but it does not run (perhaps I would have to delete the write protected version in /system/app first.

That made me look closer.
In full screen mode not window you can change the background via the drop down menu. When you have the change background window open there is a mountain icon in the top right corner which will open gallery and allow you to set your own background.
I was going to show an example but for some reason when I select Choose File in ther reply software nothing happens it just highlights and the Note 10.1 beeps and that is all.

Ah OK I see. My problem was I had the "pen only" button depressed and thats why the keyboard would not pop up when I touched the screen.
I still cannot figure out what good purpose that panning box serves since we can pan with two fingers???
Lol on the Koreans. Is there a Joe's American Tablet Company somewhere?
Now if someone could just make my handwriting not suck I'd be set.

Who, me or mitchellvii? I'm having a blast figuring out what it can and can't do. The level of detail Samsung's applied to s/w is freaking amazing. And, as usual, it’s cryptic and explained nowhere. It’s fun deciphering Samsung's cryptic code to find all the features. It's kind of like putting together a 1K piece all-white puzzle.

The mountain icon is for things to stick in a note, not set the background. The maps one is really cool. You can use it just like Google maps but within S-Note for cropping and editing.

I know its crazy but the fact word processors and browsers have used them for years might have tipped someone off that they actually work?
So instead of the proven and unobtrusive scroll bar we get a HUGE pan box right in the middle of everything? Tragic stupidity.

I fear the scroll bar is NOT coming back. Apple has a patent for transparent disappearing vertical and horizontal scroll bars.
Yea, I know it sounds stupid to allow patent for such issues. It got approved last month.

I'm kind of using what you guys say is broken as a way of exploring what the Note can (and can't) do. You can basically set any background you want on a note you're creating with seperate designs for the cover and pages within. To get white lined paper, all I did was scan a piece at 600DPI and save it as a JPEG. In settings on the S-Note home page there's an "import" button. I imported the JPEG and presto, lined white paper. It's a pretty cool feature for company letter head, watermarks, and other stuff you might want to use. Granted we should be able to create our own templates but it's a work-around for the time being.
Here's a link to the JPEG on Dropbox if you want to play with it yourselves. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/73155531/Scan_Pic0002.jpg

Thanks for this. Made it a lot easier than what I was gonna do, make one in Photoshop and import. Thanks again!

That made me look closer.
In full screen mode not window you can change the background via the drop down menu. When you have the change background window open there is a mountain icon in the top right corner which will open gallery and allow you to set your own background.
I was going to show an example but for some reason when I select Choose File in ther reply software nothing happens it just highlights and the Note 10.1 beeps and that is all.

Hey man that is Fantastic! Lol it never occcured to me to click the little mountain button to get my own background image. Now I can write on a photo of my hot girlfriend
Lol but seriously, I have to find some nice white line paper backgrounds to try out.

[FEATURE-LIST]Newest Firmware OTA 4.1.1, India build: N8000DDALI1

Quick heads-up. This is definitely not supposed to be a release candidate. There are a lot of times when apps crash, you can't change lock-screen background due to system crashes etc etc.
I know there are plenty of other topics all about this OTA. Here I present to you, a feature summary.
Please keep in mind that this most likely IS NOT the final 4.1.1 release that Samsung will put out.
Nevertheless, I hope you guys like it!
Feature-list:
S Note upgrades
S Note Widget
Improved calendar colours
Blocking mode
Text-message backgrounds
new multi-tasking features
Screenshot improvements
Improved text selection
S Note
Ah.. The note taking app from Samsung. I think this app was already pretty decent in 4.0.4, so let's see what some of the changes are.
The first thing that you should notice is that Samsung added a scrolling bar on the side. Sweet! Navigation through the standard navigation icon is still available.
When you active the Pen Only mode, the screen still responds to touch for navigation purposes. Touching the scrollbar to scroll works fine.
Want to know what also works fine? Pinch zooming! And boy oh boy, with this update, you WILL be pinch zooming with your palm while using the S Pen. Hate it..
This pretty much beats the purpose of the pen-only mode for me. Great I can't write with my finger any more.. but my palm keeps zooming in etc. It can't be that bad I hear you say? Well, it wouldn't be if it happened once every 15 minutes or so.. but I get it SO FREQUENTLY.. it annoys the hell out of me.
(Lucky for me, I'm getting a Smudge Guard (sort of a Wacom Cintiq 'glove') which will allow my palm to rest on the screen without any hassle. Was already getting it for drawing purposes )
Something that bothers me a bit, is the fact that with the update, landscape mode is zoomed in past 100% making the text and background blurry by default. Rotating your device to portrait mode ofcourse 'fixes' this, but I like working with my tab in landscape mode. On top of this, it is annoying to manually zoom to 100% because there is NO snapping. Leaving you twitching somewhere between 94~106%.
I don't have OCD, but man o man would I like this baby to snap to 100%
Folder lay-out
I wanted to add this quick tip in here. This was already a feature in 4.0.4 but I don't think many people know of it. You can adjust the width of the 'folder-bar' by selecting the dividing line and dragging it to the left or right. Dragging it all the way to the left, hides the folder lay-out.
Portrait page, covers and backgrounds
First off, you get to choose a new page preset named Landscape note.
Also, some new covers and backgrounds are present in this update. Nothing too fancy, but I think that the music sheet is pretty sweet for those who know how to use it.
New S Note widget
I'm pretty sure that this wasn't included in 4.0.4. Correct me if I'm wrong
New sync options?
Nope! The sync options are still limited to Google Drive and Evernote. No dropbox yet..
Settings
I don't believe anything has changed here, but a screenshot anyway
A nice new 'feature' is the fact that the colours in the agenda have been updated. They are brighter than before and reflect the colours I use in my Google Calender better! Yay!
Blocking mode
In the settings tab you can find an interesting new feature called blocking mode. Allowing you to block notifications, incoming calls etc. It's like an upgraded 'Airplane mode' with nice features like time settings and white-listing contacts.
Background text-messaging
Now you can also add a custom background to your textmessage overview yay!
Multi-tasking upgrade bonanza
At first it didn't seem to me that the multi-tasking was incorporated just yet. I had to search for that son of a gun. Turns out, they've given the 'up' - arrow at the bottom of the screen a pretty big make-over.
Where at first you just had some pop-ups like the S Note, Calculator, World time, etc. You now have a world of 'new' possibilities. I haven't played with this a lot yet, but it seems promising. Although there doesn't seem to be any support for third party apps.
When you press the arrow, you get to select which app you want to open. Also you can arrange the open apps in various lay-outs. Free-floating, and a few grid options (see images). Dragging a free floating app to one side of the screen, has a Windows 7 - like feature, making it expand to that side of the screen.
Now I hear people think, "why isn't there a multi-task button in the apps anymore?". Well, you can easily make a (samsung) app free floating, by dragging downwards from the outside, at the top of your screen. (Just like opening notifications on android smartphones!)
To me all these multi-task features feel a bit 'buggy', but I might have a change of heart when I get used to using it
Improved screenshots
Now you can hold the pen button and DRAG! to immediately marquee an area that you want to cut out and take a snapshot of.
Haven't gotten to testing this a lot, so bear with me on the 2 shots
Improved text selection
When selecting text in 4.1.1 you first get an Apple-like magnifier, which is stylized in a pixel-art-like style. It's pretty small though. The selection markers are a bit smaller and seem to have improved performance. In 4.0.4 I found it rather annoying to use them.. In 4.1.1 it feels much better
If you know how to take a screenshot of the notifications, please let me know. The pen method and the on-screen short-cut don't work.
You miss anything? Request something!
Thank if you like!

About the multiwindow feature: nice find! Love this more than the "old" way.
Did you also noticed the new way of selecting text. They are using a magnifier now like the iPad/iPhone. Nice steal .. Hope they don't gonna troll Apple by copying everything that is not patented LoL

Thanks for the list. Looks promising for sure!

I don't know how it is in a browser but in tapatalk none of these pics will zoom.

Thanks! Didn't notice that yet. I don't think they'll have any issues, it looks totally different.
@Mitchellvii; All these image-thumbnails are hyperlinked to the images on imgur, where they are hosted. I don't know how to do it differently on this forum
I know it works fine when I use the XDA app, but this was all created on my laptop

Looks nice so far. But as much as I enjoy having 85 different styles of notebook covers to choose from, how about:
1) Allowing us to create and save our own templates? <<< This!
2) Some white lined paper (yeah crazy right?)
3) A "chalkboard" background so we can write in white (hey I'm weird, I prefer whiting in white ink).

Holy s**t! The new multi tasking looks superb!
One X to rule them all

Looks promising with 4.1.1.

Samsung's new testing team -- XDA members!
Seriously, this is a good method. Their phones/tabs are unlocked, so it's easy for anyone to try Beta software. This allows Samsung to get real in-depth review of bugs in the codes. And it's fun for many people. Just look at SGS3 JB leaks -- new leak every single day. I won't even call them a leak now!

So far I've only experienced one app crash in S Note, and also I tried to change the lock screen background and it works for me.
Been using the update for like 2 days now, and it has been suprisingly reliable for me.

I believe Samsungs developers are reading this forum, if you have a look at http://www.sammobile.com/ you can see that Samsung are leaking a new JB rom for the SIII pretty much every single day, which would make me think that they are actually using the bug reports and posts in the forum to correct bug and leak new releases.

Too scared to have a proper beta program which allow half of the people able to flash it without getting weird errors?

I am actually more worried about S Note.. If the final version does not disable pinch to zoom in pen only mode, my palm will definitely mess everything up. The it will be a deal breaker and I may not upgrade to jelly bean coz I take notes extensively

S Note's not broken in JB, it's different and OP isn't pleased with some of the changes Samsung made. This is what he posted in another thread...

I've been using the updated version of S Note in JB since November and have been fine with it. I guess others have been too since this is the first time someone's called the new features "issues." And you can't just apply a different S Note APK because there are supporting files that it needs and it will FC when you try to open it. I don't know what to tell you OP, it is what it is.

Full screen is one thing, but how can you stand the palm detection issue?
If you rest your hand on the screen first before your s-pen gets within proximity, it will unintentionally zoom.
Before, There was no problem with palm touching the screen first.
You are fine with this?

Samsung added scroll bars at the bottom and right of an active S Note because people were unhappy with the scrolling box in earlier versions. The scroll bars are sensitive to non-pen input even when palm rejection is active. I'm guessing this is to make it easier to navigate around an S Note. They also added multi-point non-pen input so that even when the palm rejection is active, if you touch the display in two places at once (EG: with two fingers), it will allow zooming. So since I've known this I avoid touching the scroll bar areas and make sure that my palm touches the display solidly so it's not mistaken for "two fingers." Here's a quick video showing what I'm talking about.
And here's something that might help. In the newer version of S Note that added a new template, "landscape note." At 100% it uses the all of the Note's display and therefore doesn't need to display scroll bars. So you get some of the real estate that you lost with the elimination of full screen mode back as well as eliminating the scroll bars which are sensitive to input even with palm rejection on.
And to answer your question, I am fine with it because I hated the scroll box and there are times when I do navigate with my fingers (scroll bars, two finger zoom) while I'm primarily using the pen.

Trust me, it's not the scroll bars that is causing the scrolling hahaha.
BTW, your video is private.
If that was the issue, then people who are complaining would be retarded.
You can put your palm right in the middle of the page, FAR away from any scroll bars on the side, and STILL it will zoom wildly.
Yes, even in the landscape template.
Maybe your palm is different than mine and many others. Because when I'm holding the S-PEN, the moment my side palm hits the screen, the Note zooms CRAZILY!!! All over the place.

Oops. Sorry. You can see in the video that S Note only responds to non-pen touch when I make contact with the display with more than two points.

I see in your video your palm movement indeed does not induce the same Zooming that I have experienced.
I suspect this is because your palm is only contacting the screen at one point.
The way you have learnt to hold your pen, only the back of your palm (near the wrists) rests on the screen.
For many of us, the whole side blade of our palm rests on the screen, therefore presents many more Points of Contact resulting in misinterpreted Zoom behavior.

Mmmh! You could clearly see the issue at ~16 seconds with the zoom (top right) starting to do its crazy thing... nice bit of palm re-adjusting in an attempt to hide it :laugh:
Whilst the scroll bar is a good addition, they borked palm rejection! They could of integrated the pen button for zooming, scrolling, pen only and full screen.

I also have a bug which must be solved quickly!
When I use form recognition for drawing schema, SNote often deletes previous forms and I can't use the revert feature.
Any other similar experience?

Im really not sure how people are complaining about the new S Note. The old one had a fair number of bugs and limitations. Great new features I noticed are:
- Switch between eraser and pen with pen button -love this
- PDF import actually works and doesn't crash S Note
- Pam rejection mode is gone but new mode does allow for scrolling and zooming which I like.
- New scrollbar is useful
- You can now scroll tops of pages to below the top toolbar. Not being able to do that before was annoying. Eliminates need to hide the toolbar.
- Air view with hovering pen makes for easy scrolling.
- Air view also brings up help tips when hovered over anything in S Note. It also let you expand a folder in the file select screen and you can go right to a note in that file.
Probably even more I may have missed. I think losing the full screen is definitely a fair trade off, especially as several people have mentioned, it's not even as useful anymore. I do agree it would be nice to still have as an option so that you can have a full pad of paper on your screen. But it is definitely not a dealbreaker. With all the new features and bug fixes I think you'd be nuts to downgrade to an older S Note just for that.
And the palm detection??? It's always behaved that way... get used to putting the pen close to the screen before your hand and you won't have problems. It was that way in ICS and it's not hard to get used to. Again having the total palm rejection mode as a second option would be preffered but certainly not a dealbreaker. The new mode also has advantages.

I can guarantee you that Palm Detection did NOT function in the same way before.
In fact, in 4.0.4, S-Note would not even Zoom unless touch access was enabled.
So there was no chance of miss detection.
All the other features you list are great, but besides the point.
Just because you fed your kid a nice meal of Kraft Dinner does not excuse you from murdering it after.

I have noticed that if you lift the pen while writing then either the screen zooms or it starts making marks on the page. This is why I have switched to Write app for the notes app with it set to ignore all touch input (still registers the pen touch) and works great. Just wish I could change page background.
Now I really use the pen much more and like it more also.
