Hello, I've been using Polaris office for more than a year on both my note 2 and note 10.1. It has crashed on me many times and lost a lot of work coz of that. Is there any other app which is capable of drawing on ppt? Really appreciate thanks!*
As a student I do a lot of annotations. For pdf I use ezpdf works really well except some unintuitive features. For word doc I use Polaris.

Try kingsoft, or officesuite

Thanks, but I've both, they claim to allow free hand drawing but I am unable to find the function. Kingsoft version 5.8 and officesuite 7.3.1510. Am I missing something?

I dont know but you can try google's Quickoffice

I've tried that but it doesn't have annotation features, it's functions are even less than other free apps :/

I think Polaris is the only one that actually allows good annotation on ppt although the eraser kind of sucks.
I've found that any ppt with the file ".pptx" will cause EXTREMELY LONG SAVING and sometimes, just crash with the reason of not enough memory or something.
So what I've been doing for class is downloading the pptx to my computer and converting it to Word document 2003-07 so it would have a ".ppt" file. Any amount of handwriting I do to the .ppt file gets save very quick and stays. The ppt I use usually have 80+ slides.
Is this how you've been doing it with polaris? I also have quickoffice and officesuite in my tablet just for multiple viewing of ppts but none really allows me to annotate other than polaris.
Yes exactly my sentiments. I faced the problem of taking very long to save and sometimes crashing, but did not notice if it was pptx. Thanks for the advice I'll give it a try! The eraser really sucks lol. I tried the Polaris version 5.0 but doesn't work well with note 10.1. Guess I have to stick to Polaris then.

Microsoft does have an office for android app. I'm not sure what if any features it has for powerpoint or if it's any better than any other app just because it's from Microsoft, but it might be worth checking out if you haven't already. I believe you need to have a qualifying subscription to office 365 to use it though. I think you can setup a trial subscription if you don't have one. Since you are a student I believe you can get a 4 your subscription for $80 that will give you the full office suite on up to 5 computers plus mobile devices so definitely an option if you find that the app is useful.
I've tried it, Ms office for android would never be any good because it would be against their interest by provide true productivity on android instead of Windows tablet.

And do you need to keep the ppt format? If not you could print it in pdf format and manipulate it with SNote, ezPdf or RepliGo, for example.

Which is the best office suite for android
documents to go or office suite 6 ( or any other app) ?
Using Arc S with official ICS
Office Suite Pro 6 from MobiSystems is REALLY good...
It was recently on offer for 69p, but it's well worth the proper asking price.
Try kingsoft. I find that awesome..
And it is completely free.

I use kingsoft office. Removed the default office suite that comes pre-installed. So far so good as I only use it for read only purpose.

I mostly receive pdf files. Best app for pdf review is docs to go.

You can also check out CloudOn, it uses MS Office over the internet. Great if you need all the features etc. It also auto syncs with your dropbox, box and google drive accounts
Try smartoffice.
I'd go with Quickoffice.

Have tried QuickOffice and Documents To Go, I believe DTG is better.
I believe that all of them are going quite the same job u just need to find the interfaceu like
So far I've only tried OfficeSuite, but most of the interfaces are the same.
And to be honest, it is so difficult to work with phones on them, since you don't have all the tools you'll get on a computer.
Either way for small editing or checking some files, OfficeSuite will do the work.
I've got question for note 3 owners who use evernote and s-note.
I've read that note 3 has some really great features as far as s-note and evernote integration goes such as s-note note preview in evernote or s-pen hover preview of the note in evernote.
I would like to know whether these features keep working after the update of the evernote app. It would be shame if it stopped working, as it happened with youtube and scrapbooker integration.
Thanks,
Lucas
I use these heavily, and love them. It all works fine with the latest app update.
Thank you. That's great.
Another thing crossed my mind.
Is it possible to search through all evernote notes using s-finder or only the ones that were created using s-note?

You can set S-Finder so it also searches Evernote. I just checked. I also did a search and S-Finder also pulled up results from Evernote. So for your question: Yes S-Finder finds notes you created on the phone as well as the Evernote database.
Thank you very much. That resolves my doubts. Now I'm sure it is worth to jump from s4 to note 3

I knew it would save to Evernote but I can't figure out how to get it to see other things in the database

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?
Hi guys
I just bought my gf a new Note 10.1. Her first Android Tablet xD
I'm always working so I can only really have a play around during the weekends and myself don't use tablets so I don't really know the "Android Tablet space"
Please share Apps which you think works immaculately with the new Note and show off its stylus capabilities. It'll be good for all of us!

I bet you're getting a lot of... attention I'm still new myself but the one app that find to be the most useful is Lecturenotes. Can't beat it for, well, you know.

Lecture Notes it's amazing, it takes some time to customize it because it has a TON of options (which is a good thing), s-pen response it's the fastest I've ever tried.
For drawing Sketchbook Pro and Artflow are very good, the note comes with a free pro version of Sketchbook.

Just got mine yesterday and am still learning the device too!
I like Papyrus for note taking, a great app. I have not tried Lecturenotes, I will have to check that out.
Podcasts: BeyondPod is great and my unlock key for the phone version works on the tablet version as well.
Enjoy your Note 10.1!
Hehe, thanks, you too. Papyrus is very nice looking, BUT, s-pen it's a little laggy. Lecture Notes is not as pretty but it's WAY more better and customizable, and there's no lag with the s-pen. Any app you buy can be used in all your devices, as long as you're using your same google account, so don't worry about that.

Just discovered a useful setting for the Note 10.1 when used in the original Samsung case. You can deactivate the back button when using Lecture Notes, see Display settings in Lecture Note.

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.
