Hey,
I just ordered my nexus 7 and I'm going to use it in school to take notes, with a keyboard case.
What app should I use to take notes, where I can type and also draw things with a stylus?
Thanks

Yes I saw that thread, but I am looking for something that is not recognizing my handwriting but an app where I can type and make drawings at the same time.
Thanks for your input anyways.
Try whiteboard text app. It's for making notes, and a second screen let's you draw, and the drawing is inserted into the note.

Thanks, could you link me to the app in the play store, as there are a couple of them.
I use evernote to take notes in class. However there is an addon for it called sketch that allows you to insert drawings into notes.

So i just got my note yesterday. Have not touched my transformer tablet since...lol. Thats a biggie considering i never put it down usually.
Anyway, i love the s pen amongst other things. I find myself using it quite a lot even just to navigate around and interacting with the general U.I.
I was wondering however...are there any other specific apps and games out there made for the s pen? I assume you guys would know. Any advice is welcome.
Thanks.

You have an app in the Drawer called S Choice. It will send you to Samsung Apps, but specifically to S-Pen apps. Hope I helped !

Idk I've been struggling to find uses for it. I've had my Note for 2 days now and I mostly like it. But the stylus just seems like an added bonus that isnt too integrated. The only thing I've been using it for is S Memo, which freezes up sometimes Any suggestions would be appreciated

I really like Zen Brush.
It behaves like a caligraphy brush.
It's in the S-choice suite.
I also find the S-pen very useful for inputting calendar items.
Press and hold on your start time and draw down to the end time and release.
It automatically enters these in a new item.
Saves lots of time and sh#ts all over simple multitouch for speed and ease of use.
Really people? No one mentions "Draw Something". The S-Pen is PERFECT for this kind of game, and my friends are pissed at me when we're playing since i have a freaking pen to draw with

I have to say I am on my second week with my note and still no legitimate use for the s-pen.. I even got draw something and it still just doesn't help all that much with that app. I also havnt been happy with how I've had to restart my note 3 times today for various reasons
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Well after almost 2 weeks it seems my use of the s pen has gone down quite a bit. I only use it for specific games here and there.
Its a nice alternative and that's pretty much it I guess. I can't really draw well on paper let alone with the pen so that's a shame. But it is very responsive and accurate.

I actually use the s-pen quite a lot, especially at work to take notes. Very handy to have all my notes with me at all times and by tagging them and creating a folder structure it's easy to find them back.

+1 - the S Pen is great at work - i used to use a note pad all the times, but now i can take note on the, well, Note!
In my line of work i mark-up building drawings plans, where i used to carry around a A3 clipboard and paper copy of the plan. Not now, drawings to PDF and away i go on the phone! Very pleased. Once day i could even convice my boss to purchase a Note 10.1 for the very same reason....

I'm working on that. The fact that I am my own boss makes it somewhat more likely!
I want a pdf app that lets me write and erase writing with a stylus. I own a duo 11 and the reader app only lets me write stuff and not erase anything which is a pain.
Thanks in advance!
Huh? The PDF app ("Reader") fully supports the eraser end of my stylus. It will only erase writing, and you have to directly cross over the link you want to erase (which is hard for small dots), but it works. I've used it to sign documents and stuff.

So what you are saying is that you want an editable pdf instead of a word doc

The inking option on word 2013 is amazing with the eraser function. I just want a pdf app that lets me do what word does because converting pdf to doc doesn't work because some pages get messed up.

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could help me find the screen recording feature. I think it would be a great addition to my note taking. Specifically, I think it used to be called sketch record or something like that. I believe it used to function out of the S-note application. the little red button. Any help is much appreciated.

Also, I thought I'd add that when I first got the tablet this option was in S-note, however after that OAU (over-the-air-update) I cannot seem to find it for the life of me.

LectureNotes has an addon that allows you to record the screen in the app. I've never tried it, but it might be what you're looking for.

Thanks man, this is exactly what I was looking for . I just wish that for $600 it was included in S-note. Thanks again!

In S Note, when you're editing a note, try hitting the menu button and hit Record Sketching.
Oh wow, I feel stupid overlooking that. I looked everywhere but the right place. Personally I think it should be docked icon like the eraser and pen and such , like it was in the note 10.1. Thanks guys.

Hey Guys,
Quick question... Is there any app that allows me to pull PDF's directly from my dropbox account, annotate them and when I exit it re- uploads it to dropbox automatically. I tried using RepliGo but not very satisfied with the annotating part of it and not having palm recognition makes annotating a pain!
Thanks in advance

Ezpdf will do this automatically. Use the Dropbox app to open the pdf, select ezpdf as the program to open it, edit, save, and it will update in dropbox automatically. Try it.

do you have issues with ezpdf crashing though? it happens all the time to me ussually following a highlight or pen note. Then it backs me out to dropbox and shows a new "confilicted copy". my other issue is the pen is very slow which gets annoying.

Use ezpdf in concert with dropbox sync or foldersync. Either one of the latter program will sync a folder on your memory card with one on the cloud server. Have one folder for all your pdf's and you're basically done. I chose to set foldersync to manual sync because you might get errors if it syncs while you're editing a pdf.

I have the same problem it force closes on me while highlighting and it is much slower than I remember it on my old note 10.1. Not sure if it is because it is not optimized for android 4.3 for our device or what?
Does anyone know of a good app that works well with the S-Pen that is math oriented? I am trying to use my Note 10.1 2014 to take Multivariable Calculus notes. Right now I am using S-Note and going back and forth between my keyboard and drawing with the S-Pen but that isn't always the most convenient thing in the world, especially with 3D diagrams. I am using the Multivariable Wolfram Alpha app to compute stuff and draw things in the multi window to help but it could still work better.

Lecture notes could be better since you can use it in portrait and get more usable space. Draw everything I suppose. Idk iv many have math specific options like snote though

It's a nice calculator, but the OP is looking for a note taking application.
I personally still use LectureNotes for my note taking, although I do wish it was vector driven.

I found some good high res pictures of notebook paper and set that as the background for my math notes, maybe you can find a background paper image with the right amount of line spacings that would help you.
Papyrus works well for note taking... It won't recognize Greek symbols but it does real well for notes. With a 10.1 inch screen you shouldnt have much issue with writing out the Greek letters.
