Cool Jellybean Features - Galaxy Note 10.1 General

Maybe you already discovered it, but if you hold the pen button while hovering over the screen in S-Note, it takes you to an image search feature similar to MS Office's clipart search, if your're familiar.
Clicking the S-Pen button while in S-Note changes the writing utensil and then changes to eraser.
You find any cool features others may not know about?

Samsung hasn't updated the User's Digest yet for the Note 10.1. Almost all of the features in the Note II User's Digest also apply to the Note 10.1. You can download it from play to get more detail on some of the stuff that's been added in JB.

Its funny to see what comes up in the search window of the tutorial when the demo searches for samsung in the quick coomand gesture section.

Cool... and if you click the pen and move it up (as a stroke) it opens up another useful feature - you can write in a box for example : ?weather - brings up latest weather - check it out - its quite cool

Ah yea, the Quick Commands. I wish some1 would mod the S-Pen to recognize quick gestures without having to wait for that box to come up. Man...the Spen has so much potential, but little dev love xD

Yes - so much potential. I love using the pen. I still haven't had a great play with the pen . Im not entirely sure what does what when it comes to the button. Im learning but slowly ...lol

Not sure I'm following... without the quick command you can only go "back" minus gesture "options" triangle gesture "quick command" line up gesture, open note pad etc etc.
You cant invoke web browser, email etc without first opening the quick command menu.
Am I missing something?
Thanks!!!

There is an app in the market called gmd s pen .. You can configure a ton..

Unannounced/Bugs of 4.1.2 JB Update

I'd like to ask everyone the changes done by 4 . 1.2 that weren't announced by samsung.
1 new number format in stock messages app which separates international code area code and number
2 S calendar during write mode. The write on/off on the pen button has beem removed. In order to move to another month you have to turn the whole write mode off (veeeeery annoying)
3 wifi saving mode / problems - disconnects a lot
4 new changes to qwerty stock keypad. Quick symbols menu had a revamp of sorts
Any other changes?
Oh snap! I don't have a witty tapatalk signature!

when you've closed all tabs in the default browser and you get to the about:blank page. previously on 4.1.1, if you hit the back capacitive button on this page, it will just go back to the last page you were on before you closed all tabs to get to the about:blank page, and you can continue to access the previous pages by hitting the back button.
on 4.1.2, after closing all tabs and getting to the about:blank page, hitting back will now exit the browser.
not really a bug. its something novel that i actually liked, and sorta shows that samsung are starting to think of the little things more.

Wow if this is true, then it's certainly a good news! Previously, there was no way to exit/lose the browser completely. Have to swipe it off the Recent Apps list to fully exit the app.
Im currently facing an issue with the Pen Detection within Samsung Keyboard settings. It's not working on the 4.1.2 firmware on my 7105.
The handwriting recognition itself works, but it's just not automatically activated when I pull out my S-Pen. Anyone else with this issue? I tried resetting the settings within the Samsung keyboard settings as well as Clearing Data within Applications for the Samsung Keyboard and it still does not work.
Edit: Duh. It still works. My bad. Turns out that you gotta pull the S Pen out before the Samsung keyboard pops out. Once it appears, pulling out the S Pen will not automatically change the keyboard to handwriting recognition.

And the battery backup should be the major compromise we are facing. It's about 15% lesser than 4.1.1, which isn't good.

I guess not every update is perfect. Still being able to rearrange my drop down menu is a big plus. Battery drain is a bit faster but that's expected of new features are added but it isn't noticeable. I just wish Samsung fully tests of their updates and provide a complete list of changes.

There is a bug in YouTube mentioned in another thread. My touchscreen lost some sensitivity which is really annoying. The battery life stated sucking a tad bit. It's always like this, better not to upgrade.
I'm gonna revert, just dreading backing up all my files.. Thought this wouldn't be an issue anymore, I think 4.1.2 is a step down from the previous version.

Thanks for the info, and thanks goodness it isn't available where I live.i'm still on 4.1.1 and no issues so far.
One thing I've found is when you create a shortcut in bar for NFC menu, sometimes when the NFC icon picture gone and you want to try activate to NFC, the system UI will crash and it will restarted yhe the UI then you should activated through setting menus by manually.

thank you for posting this up...honestly, the only thing I know in 4.1.2 JB update was battery life sucked very much.
and i was surprised that there are more listed. :laugh:
No Back Jumping Animation
Ive found that apart from battery life that sucks after the 4.1.2 update, I have also lost the back jump animation. Now, pressing the back button takes you to the home screen/launcher rather than jumping to the other open app. In 4.1.1, after pressing back, the previous app would jump in from the top. Now that no longer happens.
Also the phone is a bit laggy, 4.1.1 was so much smoother. Auto rotation doesnt work smoothly and instantaneously.
I have read on other threads that doing a factory reset, solves the battery drain. Anyone tried it here?
Anyone else face this issue? im on stock 4.1.2 DLL7.

Mine always worked like the way you described. If you pull out the S Pen and hit a textbox, the handwriting mode is enabled, but it doesn't switch the keyboard when the s pen is pulled out during typing. I think it is working correctly, but definitely makes a lot of sense to switch it for you when you pull out the S Pen.
On ubdll3, drain seems to have gone away.

I wish S-Note had Locked Zoom.

they are times when I don't want note to zoom in because my palm registered before my s-pen did. It's only and I can't believe this wasn't a default option on ALL S-PEN. The s-pen gives unparalled accuracy so I like to use it non-zoom and write small.
There's an option to enable 'palm check.' At least on my Note 2, which I assume is similar. Waiting on my N8000.

Yeah, I agree. I think I will just buy a glove though that covers my palm. I still want the ability to zoom, but I Just don't want it happening when I'm trying to lay down lines for art.

I'm not quite sure what you're meaning by palm check, there is a function for "SPen only" but that one only disables the one finger touch that is for drawing etc. Disable the multitouch for zooming and pan however, isn't possible in SNote at this point.

Anyone having problem with SNote, please contact Samsung and tell them about it and demand a solution. Hopefully with enough people complaining, Samsung will realize that the new SNote isn't any good and change it. Preferably allow us to downgrade SNote to the precious, working version.

I agree. Samsung keep developing the device and they have not look into their most important application. Are they even serious with their consumer? Sigh..
agree! I found it really annoying everytime I use it to take notes. There should be a lock zoom mode in the s note setting.
I agree that S-note could have a few features like locked zoom and hide toolbar... those would be great. I like the new snote though. I dont think you guys should call Samsung to complain, just suggest. Maybe someone on xda can release a downgrade apk?

Or just a two finger zoom that actually worked and not recognized the hand, just like the old version. Just of curiosity, what do you like better with the new one? Do you maybe have a different version of the new SNote that actually works?
That's what I'm hoping as well but there are a couple of different threads around an so far nothing has really come out of them.

I have the snote that came with jb 4.1.2 US n8013. The UI feels alot faster, the spen button to switch to eraser is an awesome feature. It also switches from formula match to eraser and then Back to formula match which is very good since id always make the mistake of going to pen and losing my formula. I cant think of anythinf else atm but i can tell you that apart from the zoom, i havent had major issues with it.

Well that explains it, I run the 4.1.1 version of Android and that comes with a different version of SNote than yours and the 4.1.1 version just doesn't work properly. I really hope that we get the 4.1.2 version of SNote as well since it seems to work much better than our.

Simple trick to Lock the zoom
Hi,
When I'm writing using S Note, I lock the zoom by using my other hand's 3 fingers to touch the screen.
when you write the usual way, you will notice that it will not have any annoying zoom anymore.
hope it works for everyone too.

So if you're right handed. You use your left hand's 3 fingers and hold the screen while write with your right hand? That sounds like a pain. When I take notes I just make sure the spen is sensed before I put my palm down and no zoom. Takes some getting use to or make it a habit.

I discover how to dont zoom with hand on display
When you want to write with hand on display, you must first do this: put your thumb to the corner and THEN you must start write and put your palm on display in one time! since that your moves of hand display doesnt recognize and doesnt zoom, you can go to another list but you must have your thumb on display all the time or do it again (put hand and write in one time). Its not 100% but usually works and have thumb in corner isnt so annoying. . .
It requires root, but I added 'Disable finger input' action to my spen control app. It disables all finger touch (and capacitive buttons on Note 1 and 2) until you execute this action again or turn screen off. I implemented this after I got tired of accidental zooming on Note 10 and hitting capacitive back or menu on Note 1. My drawing experience is completely different now. Needless to say, S Pen is fully working in this mode and it disable finger input in all apps, not just S Note.
Do you think its worth making a separate application just for this? It would still require root .

That would be a blessing. I purchased your Gesture Control app and is really helpfull to hide the Nav bar and prevent the annoying Notification bar from showing every time I'm writting within SNote. Maybe you could make a setting within your app to block any hand touch within the S Note app. The only issue I have is that I have to add S Note to blacklist to prevent gesture control from executing accidentaly within S Note. I haven't got the Spen app yet. Do you think the S Pen gesture app would add a convenient way to go back to home screen without having to turn the screen on and off, in order get the Nav bar back?
I really recommend Gesture Control and S Pen Control. Those are one the top 5 five apps we must have for our Galaxy Note 10.1
Samsung screwed up big time with S Note hand detection.

I have the US version of the N8013 too. I had mine just rooted before the update, i did the 4.1.2 update and haven't found a way to configure the S Pen button to work as an eraser within the S Note app. I even spent $40 to buy the S Pen with eraser so I wouldn't have to click back and forth between eraser and writting mode from the top bar. Pardon me if I've being a Dumb Ass!!! If a press twice the button it goes into brush mode, if press it once thereafter, it goes to marker mode, and after that if I press the button once, it switches back and forth between brush and Marker mode, but never goes back to regular pencil mode unless I reach the top bar and change it back that way. I checked for pen settings under S Note settings and general settings, and I just can't find anything to configure the S Pen button to perform a particular action.
I didn't do a factory reset after the update. Do you think this could be the reason, and maybe I'm just having bugs due to it?
Maybe I have do a complete factory restore, any suggestion on Stock base rom with full S Note functionality?

You can download spen control (trial) from thread in my signature and it has 'disable finger input' action. I don't want to expand on other features as this is not the right thread, but spen app allows you to execute all actions similar way to gesture control, just gestures are executed with spen. I'm just wondering if it is worth making root app that just does this one action - disable/enable finger input.

I'm having the same issue (same version tablet) too.... quite annoying that you cannot find configuration for the S pen in it's most used app. It would be great if I could create a toggle between eraser and pencil/pen mode but nothing seems to do that.
Get the lecturenotes app from market and no more S note annoyance !!!

[TUTORIAL] Enable hover icon in Jelly Beans update

Hey guys,
I did a quick search on the forum and no one had put this up and since many wanted to know where did the tiny s-pen hover icon go once they updated their Note 10.1 to jellybean, I decided to put this up.
To enable the hover icon,
1) Open Settings
2) Go to S-Pen
3) Enable Air-View and select the text to edit options
4) Enable the check-box for "Pointer"
Now you have to pointer visible whenever you bring the s-pen close to the screen, just like in ICS.
PS. the pointer icon is not as nice as the ICS one but I think i came across a thread to help you change it but you need to be ROOT for it.
PPS. I am running 4.1.1 for those who want to know.
Thanks buddy was driving me crazy lol

It works with all the applications. It just creates an icon whenever you bring the s-pen close to the screen. But once you press it on the screen, it will go away. They just made it as an "HOVER" icon
So yeah it will show the pointer until you press it on the screen. Miss the old hover one on ICS where it stays even after you press it on the screen

[Q] SNote and Formula Match

Hi, I'm from France so please excuse me in advance if there are any mistakes in English :fingers-crossed:
I just bought and received my Galaxy Note 3 and I'm playing around, discovering (I had a GS3 before :laugh.
Anyway, I'm studying medecine right now and I could use the "Formula Match" part of the SNote app. However, it seems not to be in the GN3.
Sooo, I came here expecting that maybe you guys could help me on this :laugh:
And if the "Formula Match" was not part of the "factory" GN3 is there anyway to download it somewhere or download something that does the same exact thing
Thank you guys for your help
You just have to use laso tool to select your formula and the press transform to and then formula type

But is there a way to actually pull the results of the written formulas like it was available on the GNote 10.1?
Anyone?
Maybe s memo from the Play Store?
That's the version that was on the note 2.

I found a way to search formulas on wolfram alpha.
1. - Long press menu capacitive button (brings up search)
2. - Hover the s-pen over the search box and tap the s-pen onscreen button when it appears
3. - Switch to formulas (appears as f(x), (between back and magnifying glass)).
4. - You can now draw your formula
5. - Then hit the magnifying glass to search wolfram alpha.
Hope this helps.

You're awesome, that is all.

Muilti Window within a Muilti Window... Pretty Sweet!

So I just figured out this pretty sweet feature on my Note 3. which also works on my new Note 10.1 2014.
If you have two windows side by side.
Then replace one window with another app (drop app from multi window bar on top of one of already opened multi window app)
do this a couple times with favorite apps
Now hit the blue dot between the two screens and hit the option on end that I thought looks like a folder
Now you can scroll threw all apps that you had open while in multi window mode.
I understand its kind of hard to understand what i'm talking about without trying it yourself.
will post pics later
If you haven't heard of this feature, thanks would be nice
Wow would be really cool to have this on my old 10.1 and on my s4

Glad to share
Streaming from my local Satellite Receiver in HD, browsing on the other side. It is great! Also YouTube, Mail...
Nice, I figured this out after messing around with the tablet for a couple of hours. It's like I learn something new every time I use it.
