For the people that have the problem with the screen zooming while resting their hand on the screen try putting the pen close to screen before placing your hand on the sceen. Hope this helps people.

Or just switch to lecture notes, and set the settings to work with you, because there are plenty of settings to customize to work your your particular writing style. Only issue is the jagged writing at times.
But thanks for the tip I still use snotes for the formula writing and stuff

I was messing around with maps tonight and was kind of shocked that it happens. I could not get it to work at all in 3d building mode. Or when zoomed in.
At about a city level zoom I can get it to spin. I do not have the hack that enables it either.
Very strange behavior/bug.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
True, albeit very poorly.
Indeed. I was shocked that it did it at all.
Its the screen bug of N1 not a bug in Gmaps. when you fingers are close it snaps in one line thats why rotate doesn't work well
they could have done it better. The optimus one can only detect 2 fingers as well and have the axis switching problem but you can rotate like 40 degrees.
The tweak that was around earlier did a far better job...

It's not the screen bug. When this feature came out it was disabled on n1 due to the screen.

Not really, they're both pretty awful
I think they forgot to disable it in this update.

OK, they are both pretty bad, but I still preferred the tweaked method. At least I had some control over when I rotated, rather than it just happening when I'm trying to zoom or tilt...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Would be nice if they would give us some other control over the rotation, what about trackball rotation or dedicated rotate buttons? Nobody uses the trackball in maps anyway.
I'm confused, because rotate works almost perfectly on my N1 since 5.2.

Same here. Sure you don't actually rotate your fingers (you drag them) but it now works flawlessly and with better control.
Google enabled an alternative to rotate the map. Swiping two fingers horizontally will do the trick.
My phone language is Japanese. Apart from changes on check-ins, there was a note mentioning this feature when I first launched the Maps after updating to 5.2.
But on my friend's N1 (display language is English), it showed update notes on check-ins only. Didn't mention about rotating maps.
Yes that seems to be the case. I did not see that in the new in maps notes either on my English nexus one.
The two finger swipe actually does work really well. I did not even notice that until now. Just noticed the very weird two finger rotate by accident.

I just check the two fingers swipe. And it works. Not bad at all.

awesome discovery!! I can't believe many of us missed that.
Is anyone annoyed by this, it seems every time I want to scroll with two fingers it zooms ever so slightly.

Scroll with one finger... Is normal to zoom if you move your fingers slightly one to another while scrolling
How do u scroll with one finger, surely this moves the mouse pointer.

No problem for me. I keep my fingers together.

Sorry, I wrote from phone and I haven't seen that text was deleted.
Use one finger on screen, that's why ouy have a touch screen.
For scrolling using the touchpad you can keep the fingers together, any way you like, or better yet keep the fingers one on top of the other.
That sounds so wrong xddd

just double tap on trackpad with one finger, hold finger on 2nd tap then sroll up or down.
samsung please s-pen setting
- only S-pen input
- s-pen and finger input
Why speak broken sentence
Confuse people?
Sent from my GT-N8013 using xda app-developers app
Not sure if you are asking for a pen only setting, but if you are then it already has this in S Note. Click on the pen icon (far upper right ) when you have a note open. This enables pen only, if you don't click this then you can use pen and/or finger. Hope this helps as your post was a bit confusing
I think the OP might mean a system wide setting?

I'm from germany, little english...
yes in system wide settings please! Not only S-Note.
When I use the S-Note program, and I create a new note I am having an issue. Let's say I start off with a blank note and I write the date and my name in it. When I tap on the + symbol to create a new page, nothing happens. So my real question is, how do I add another pag to an existing note. I really love this tablet. I upgraded from a Thinkpad Tablet which also had a pen. Nice tab, but this one is superior in so many ways. Now if only I could figure out S-Note.

Well, dafuq? Now it starts working. I tried both pen and finger before. Other than making the icon light up, nothing happened. Now I go through the process of taking a SS and editing it, uploading it and so on. And now S-Note decides to behave?? Ok. Weird, but ok.

Ok so after the JB update I cant seem to save my own custom pens or access the productivity tools. Are those available in every template?
Also, even though I have told S-Note to ignore finger/hand input, when I rest my palm on the screen it zooms in. So um yeah.
I really miss pen only mode that my Thinkpad Tablet had. Is that even an option? I've dug around in the system settings for the S-Pen and I was unable to find anything like that.
Sent from my GT-N8013 using XDA Premium HD app
Ok ok I figured it out.
It's the template.
I can do formulas and shape matching in the note template, but not in the memo template. Which is oddbecause I would think grap paper would be better suited for match and stuff like that than a yellow legal pad.

You can change the background of any note by tapping on the note Settings in the upper right corner and selecting change background. You can even import another image to use as a background. I just have not found where you can save the imported image as a new background template.

If you do please let us know how. A lot of people have been looking for a way to do that for quite a while. For awhile it seemed the S-note update may have that ability but it doesn't seem to.
Hey so while fiddling around with my Note 2 today I discovered a new feature that I have never seen in any videos or in any thread so I figured I must not be the only one who didn't know.
This is an alternative to the current back and menu gestures which are shaped like this < and ^.
1) Go back gesture: On the bottom right side of the screen flush to the edge, simply swipe down while holding the S-Pen button, this will trigger the back button soft key.
2) Menu gesture: Similarly, just swipe with the S-Pen pressed on the bottom left side of the screen.
Although this is ultimately the same as the other gestures, I find this one MUCH easier to get used to rather than the awkward backwards arrow. Hope you enjoy this tip :highfive:

Dose do the job like u said
Much easier. Now if only it worked for HOME haha
Don't seem to work for me :s
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Wow, actually it does work.
Great tip, thank you!
Much easier indeed compared with the arrows.
For those who can't find the trick. The line should be around one quarter of the screen height and should be finished on the bottom on the screen.

Even works from the middle for me, as long as you're in the lower half of the screen when starting. But quarter works fine as well

HOME BUTTON: Make a "less than" sign anywhere on the screen
Quick Command: Make a 1inch line going UP anywhere on the screen
Menu: It's also works if you make a carrot sign, which is this: ^
EDIT: Nevermind, the less than sign is also a back button......
Cool! I was a little disappointed with those gestures, but now everything is so simpler! Thanks a lot!
