This thread is simply made for gathering ideas and wishes for Apps only for our Galaxy Note so that app developers could come here and check for ideas.
Wouldn't it be nice to have some apps that only us - Note users - could use because of our huge screen and S-pen that others do not own? Ongoing challenge to create an app for Note is in my opinion very welcome, cos I've had my note since november, and there's not many apps available that would make people want to buy Note. Except S memo and S note of course.
Everyone has probably thought that it's nice to have a pen for drawing and so on but maybe it's possible to have let's say 10 apps that is perfect for our Note only, because of it's 5,3 inch screen and S-pen. Let's start a discussion yeah?
Can't find Polaris office on the S4 or in the Samsung apps store. Anyone know if they have skimped out of this application this time around?
Need to wait just like S3 I think...
Check Samsung apps, it is probably available free from there (I recall at release it was the same for the Note 2).

Evernote Now Integrated Into the Samsung Galaxy Note 3
Evernote’s goal is to help people around the world remember everything on every device that they use. Over the years, it’s been inspiring to see the range of smart products that have come to the market that incorporate Evernote, from phones and tablets to cameras and refrigerators.
Today, we’re very excited to announce a new partnership with Samsung that will deeply integrate Evernote into the core note taking capabilities of the popular Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Now, all S Note users will get the benefit of immediate note synchronization from their Samsung mobile device to every other device and computer where Evernote is installed. Like all notes in Evernote, they’ll instantly become searchable, can be tagged for quick organization and shared with others.
In addition, Evernote will offer S Note users increased monthly capacity to accommodate all of their notes, images and files.
Over the past several years, Samsung has continually created new and unexpected products that enhance the lives of consumers. We’re excited to be working with such an innovative and forward-thinking company.

Do you think that we'll see Note 8.0 S-note integration in the near future ?
I would most certainly think so. Seems to me that Evernote will (sort of) replace (or enhance) functionalities of S-Note and I couldn't see why this shouldn't work on other S-Pen-devices.
Probably we might have to wait somewhat longer though.

It is possible if Sammy wants to...but I do not believe as a upgrade of existing devices pn 4.3 that we might get...
My thoughts is that only new devices will be offered with new features like evernote premium. ?.

I don't think it would be wise of Samsung to not include the feature for other S-Pen-devices. There are lots of people who use a note II (and soon note 3) as their phone AND the Note 8 or 10 as their tablet. Not being able to sync between those just wouldn't make sense.

Manual sync of my Note 2 and 10.1 has screwed up all my notes. Some are even locked and I can't figure out how to unlock these. Hopefully Sammy has fixed this cross sync issues.

After repeated loss of notes to samsung sync, I can guarantee you dropsync is a way to go.

:good: Agreed. I started using Dropsync after losing some notes on Samsung Sync. I tried Evernote Sync but it was flaky, as was Google Docs.
Dropsync works perfectly.

dropsync is one of the most essential apps i have ever used...i love it
I don't know about you guys but when I use dropSync it didn't work properly it constantly cause my snote to say syncing notes which took about a minute to finish
I was using it to sync my nose between my Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy note 10.1 but found it way too sluggish to work properly and use it as my daily driver for syncing notes between the two devices
this is why I really like the the evernote integration because not only will it sync between devices but I can sync it with my desktop as well
but curiously I haven't been able to find a single video or a tutorial on how this is supposed to work can somebody like one
I just bought the Note 3, and am a huge Evernote user so the new integration on the new version of S-Note has been awesome for me. The downside of having the Note 8.0 now is what is mentioned above. I used to use Dropsync to sync my S-Notes folders between my Note 2 and my Note 8.0. Now that the file types are different, .spd files rather than the older S-Note's .snb files, I can no longer do that. I even tried syncing S-Notes using my Samsung account hoping they would have some kind of conversion happen behind the scenes-no dice. I can view Notes created on my Note 3 (.spd) on my Note 8.0 via Evernote, or using this app I found on the Samsung App Store http://www.samsungapps.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.samsung.spdviewer , but I can no longer edit those new notes on my 8.0 due to the new file type. I'm really hoping Samsung hurries up with an update so I can have the new version of S-Note on my 8.0 and get back to my old syncing ways. If you want to know more about how Evernote is working with the Note 3, which will be the same on the new 10.1 2014 Edition, feel free to ask whatever questions you'd like. I've tested that a bunch now as well and have been happy with the results.

Hi Nate, I hope you are well and happy.
I currently use an original N7000 and in March 2014 (when my contract is up) I'll be looking to upgrade. I'll probably buy a new Galaxy note 3 as a handset (I'm in need of a new watch as well and the Galaxy Gear is a possibility) also air command looks sweet and I'm keen to try it.
I'm also hoping to buy my first tablet PC before January as I'm a motorcycling Computer Science under-grad and looking to reduce the weight I need to carry to university by leaving my 11.6 inch Acer Aspire 1825ptz touchscreen netbook at home and taking a thinner lighter tablet to lectures. I've been using Evernote for over 7 months now and love it, although I miss S-Note functionality a bit (running cyanogen 10.2-20131107-nightly-n7000 mod.) I was considering buying the 8 inch Galaxy Note but having read this thread I'm more inclined to get the 10.1 inch 2014 Note now.
I'll mostly be reading papers (.pdf) on it in the Kindle app (see attached) which I'll want to annotate as I'm reading, view powerpoint presentations in it (I use kingston office for this on my N7000 so I for see no problems with the 10.1 inch) again that I'll want to take notes onto.
I guess what I'd like to know please:
1. How exactly do the 2 apps integrate? Is it you open SNote and it's got a share to ever note option? Or vica versa? Or are they completely integrated into one app?
2. Do you think a Galaxy 3 / Gear / 10.1 inch 2014 Note is the optimal solution for the remainder of my studies and then more importantly do you think it'd be a good solution for a trainee teacher? (yrs 11 - 18)
3. Did I read somewhere that the 10.1 inch or the Galaxy 3 is going to have an IR blaster? (I could use a decent remote control)
Thanks in advance for any help / youtube review / links to relevant posts / URL's you can give.
All I want is Inking support in Evernote. The only reason I use S-Note at all is because of its default support for inking notes, but if I could use the stylus in Evernote on both my Windows 8 and Android devices, I'd be set.
I used S note a lot on galaxy Note.
Then bought Note 2 - used S-note even more.
Then I bought Note 10.1 - and got dissapointed, the S-note app for 10.1 were older and missed some fetures.
Now I bought Note 3 - a much newer "S note" app, that converts the notes to a new format. - that note 10.1 never got an update for...
So. using Samsung proprietary app, which they (dirty bastards) do not update using Google Play, is a big fail. It makes me stuck with old version of the app, something that would not happen to any normal Android app on google Play.
Morale of this story is: do not trust apps that are not updated via google play for all devices.
Solution ?
I've tried to copy the note3.apk from note3 to my note 10.1 , but for some reason, it fails to install every time.. and I do not know why ?

just bought the 10.1 yesterday BECAUSE of the s-note?!??!?!!
damnit!!!
have you tried copying over the note2.apk?
I think it's flat out ridiculous that we have to be stuck with old versions of software because the companies are too greedy and only focuses on new products and selling new hardware/software. I mean we've been on 4.1.2 since release and 4.3 is rolling out to other devices. Couldn't we at least be on 4.2.2? Come on Saumsung. I love your devices but this is craziness.

Check out Lecture Notes, works well & offers may more features than all versions of stock software. Since when do the hardware mfg's have to offer all software? They don't provide updates via Android Store because they can offer updates via firmware, so why should they have to pay Google for a service they already provide? My advise open your wallet instead of your mouth.

Well, Samsung does not need to pay google for free updates via Play, - and could resctrict it to their devices.
On the other hand, they could provice updates using Samsung apps market, which they do not....
finally you write "because they can offer updates via firmware" - and that's the main problem: they did not.
- While you are prety cocky with "My advise open your wallet instead of your mouth" - you brought one great suggestion for an app... purchased.
thanks.
Trying to understand the issue ...
I must be missing something here. My notes work fine on my Note 10.1 (2012 edition) and my Note II.
There are some minor differences, but I can still read them on both devices.
OP is fruatrated because not all Samsung devices are using the same version of note-taking software, right?

My take is the newest version on the Note 3 will convert notes from 2/10 to a newer format. And the 2/10 do not YET have the newer version of SNote to use the newer format.

Ahhh, so when you work on things with your Note 3, they are no longer compatible with your Note 2/10.1(2012) ... that's no good.
What happens when you try to open them? Would you be willing to share a screenshot of an error or ... ? Your Note II/10.1 just won't see them?

The converted notes become invisible for old s note application. (not much to screenshot)
I would share the current s-note3 app if anyone is better at finding out why it won't install on the 10. 1
s note app with Samsung Apps Store
It will probably roll out with the next OS update. Samsung committed to take the 10.1 as far as 5.0. I'm betting it will go to 4.3 before Christmas since compatibility with Gear needs 4.3 and they want you to buy a Gear for Christmas!

I had the same problem called the dutch samsung helpdesk he told me this problem would be fixed when 10.1 update to 4.3 in about 2 to 3 weeks.
other differences
The new SNOTE stores its files in a differnent folder on the sd card and in additon, the old snote could handle folders of notes, but the new one doesn't seem to support this.
EDIT: It does support folder but you have to tap the "recent note" and then the menu allows you to create a folder. The only way to possible share between verison I can see is to export from Note3 to pdf and then import the pdf in Note 2. Sucks..

I was also quite disappointed with S Note. I used Samsung Note 10.1 (2012)'s S Note extensively, and sync them to the Samsung account. Just bought the 2014 Note 10.1, and to my surprise, the old S Notes don't sync over.
I resorted to Syncing with Evernote, and then opening up in Evernote in the 2014 edition. When I click on the notes, it says I have to covert them to the new format. When I did, it looked like everything was mucked up. Diagrams all went out of alignment etc.
Anyone know what to do to get around this??

The best would be if somebody managed to install note3.apk from a newer device, on the 10.1
Do you still have the old one? If so export the notes to PDF. Maybe lots of work but should get them moved.

Dear XDA,
So I bought PDP 3 days ago and only used it to disable skype, instagram and whatsapp. I am wondering if someone can help me find out what each of the packages that are marked as bloat do? So far the only samsung apps I use is the galaxy store, goodlock, email. I have a gear S3 Frontier coming and I would like to use gear VR. Most of the bloat don't really have much in memory either. So I wanted to know what packages I should look into disabling? And if people have seen any improvements to soc performance and or battery life? Just trying to see if it was worth the 1.39 price tag or should I refund it? :laugh:

You should be able to disable Skype, Instagram and Whatsapp using the built in app manager, there isn't a need to buy a program to do that...................Well I can certainly disable a few built in apps easily on stock ROMs. There isn't much bloat that you need to disable unless you have a US carrier S7

Yeah, I bought the app to disable packages i couldn't see, it labels a lot of things as bloat. I bought it after I read some threads saying it helped performance. Well i can easily refund it still, just wondering if disabling packages really help battery life? and or is there tangible performance difference for compute applications or benchmarks or gaming or what ever app?
