New note man...haha. Any S pen Ideas

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!

[Q] Pen/Stylus Input

Does anyone know if pen/stylus input is supported on the Nexus 7? If not, is there any app that would allow this?

Pen input
I can confirm that the pen input works well on the N7 in fact it's the only Android tablet that comes any where near the iPad in this area.
At last I can use an Android tablet for quick notes! I have both the Bamboo and Samsung Stylus.
Regards
Bob

Excellent to hear.
Looking to buy an N7 soon, and this is something I'd like for both my GS2 and the N7. Typing my notes gets tedious and I'd also like to include drawings with my notes.
Good to hear it works

A stylus is much easier than a finger I find.

Screen Recording

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.

PowerPoint annotation app besides Polaris

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
Sent from my GT-N8013 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

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.

Best Apps for Galaxy Note 10.1 2014

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.

Learn how to use XBMC. Search for xbmc android, then look for how to install wizard edition. You now have the best media tablet ever made!

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.
