So I started taking notes...
- S NOTE: It works great, feels great.
The 3 finger gesture is retarded for sure. (The one that hides / shows toolbars.)
But. How do you deal with the new page thing?
Like I write up a task or anything... and I'm already at the end of the page.
Lecture Notes let me see two pages at once, so it's like a huge endless toilet pape that I can write on. (what a reference!)
It's not an issue AFTER I'm done taking notes, but if I work on a problem, I'd like to see the whole equation I wrote up, instead of switching between pages.
- Lecture Notes: Works kinda great, but performance issues/weird scrolling.
So...
-- When I scroll, the page x / y shows, and the scroll is god-damn slow. It's really slow, like laggy as crap.
I tried the "fast temporary render" option, using it like that. But it didn't help.
-- I enabled the hardware stylus detection, but like 20% of the times, the screen jumps around when I try to write on it. I'm holding the pen close as possible, and then place down my palm.
Do you guys have a solution for these, or a better app?
I have zero issues with Lecture Notes. There is an entire thread on this topic on the front page of the themes / apps forum here. I would refer to it and read it. I bet there are fixes for each of your issues. Also, I would ask for help there to avoid yet another S Note vs. Lecture Notes thread.

Hi,
I didn't know in which forum to place this post, hopefully this is the right one.
I have had Hermes for a couple of months now and I use many programs to read stuff like RSS feeds and books on it. I am very disappointed with how scrolling to the next page is solved in these programs.
I dread turning pages because I always lose track of the sentence I am on. The programs that use the scrolling wheel to jump through links are especially unergonomic because you can never predict where they will jump. But those that simply turn the page are just as bad.
This problem could easily be solved by having the last line on the screen turn yellow or blink or something when you push the page down button. That way when the new screen is rendered you would still know where you are. This would speed up reading for me immensly and also make it more enjoyable. If someone knows of a program that has scrolling implemented this way please let me know.
Eh? what bout setting your jogdial so when you click it down, it scrolls it down to the next page. That's how I have my iSilo setup.
Even so you have at least one moment that breaks your concentration: when you reach the last page a page down doesn't move an entire page down, but less. When you read RSS-ed articles which are usually 1-5 pages long this gets really annoying really quickly.
At least using the standard RSS reader. I'm hoping there is something better out there.
Hi, has anyone noticed that when you scroll or pan in the browser (and also gmail occasionally) the view 'sticks' at a certain point, and then jumps to catch up to your finger?
It's not a performance thing - you can do it really slowly and it still happens. It almost feels like it is trying to stick to paragraphs and object edges, but I've had it when just viewing and image as well.
Also, is there a bug tracker we can use, or a list of known bugs for the SGS2? If not I will start one in the wiki.
Mine doesn't and I consider myself a pretty heavy browser user. I'm stock on KE7.
search please.

Haha, look who started the thread you linked to blickmanic.
This is a different issue.
oh; sorry haha my mistake.
try clearing cache, or change some of your reflow settings
Does anyone know of an app for Android tablets that can do this? I have just switched from an iPad1. I used Noteshelf for taking notes and it was very very smooth. There were plenty of others too.
I have tried all the ones I can find for Android:
Genial Writing
PenSupremacy
Handrite
Freenote
and more
They are incredibly bad with text not appearing until seconds after you lift the stylus/finger or curved lines being squared off. Even the drawing apps are terrible. My guess is either the Asus TF is very under-powered to be able to do this smoothly or there's just no developers focusing on this.
Anyone?
Try:
Writepad
Anripaper note
For drawing I use Sketchbook Pro
I've started using Antipaper, and I like it. I'm unsure of whether or not I wanna pay for the full version though (when it becomes available). I like my tf, but I'll probably use it to supplement with notes, not to take actual notes in class..
you can change the delay setting in freenote to reduce the delay between you stopping writing and it showing the text.
try it again and play with the settings.

Indeed you can....
I found the best speed for my use was 400ms. This cleared up the delay issue.
You can use Myscript notes mobile it can be ported of a lenovo ideapad.

I would look into writepad stylus, he has a thread over on the Xoom forum where you can follow his progress.
Writepad forum thread
Otherwise DrawPro is great for TF for just drawing, otherwise your best bet is still FreeNote right now.
OK, Antipaper looks usable. Looking forward to the PRO version. Shame it can't email the complete notepad, but I can cope.
Thankyou very much for the recommendation.
Thought it would be interesting to make a thread on how people are using the S-pen. Give people some new ideas or whatever.
I rarely use it. My handwriting sucks so the Note has no idea what I'm writing. Although normal people can't read my writing when I write with pen/paper anyway, so no surprise there.
I mostly use the S-pen to play Nemo picross actually, ha ha ha! It sure is nice to shrink the grid to a tiny size (20x20 visible) and use the pen to play. When I used my fingers on my mytouch 4g, I'd have to use a 9x9 visible grid, and I'd have to scroll all over the place.

HAHA my granddad uses his car key!
To be honest I only pulled it out to show people what it can do, doubt I will ever need to use it which is a shame considering the time and energy that must have gone into implementing it so nicely!

That is so 1980s! You've got to keep up with times, for godssake
Playing World of Goo.
Japanese handwriting recognition.
Faster typing with Swype.
Handwritting with Graffiti Pro recognition method. Works way better than inbuilt one as you use simplified characters.
Also drawing and photo masking/editing.
i use it for swypeing - i rly like it.
GTD. Any time something comes up that I have to do, I do a quick memo and send to evernote inbox. each day I open evernote inbox and process all items. I make a handwritten lists of the task for that day and save the other ones to a next actions folder in evernote.
I use the stylus for Swyping and everything else, any time my fingers are a little damp and not sliding smoothly over the screen.

Lol.... I do the same thing except I watch cricket.....
But she got so addicted to it that she wants one now....
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
I use the pen for selecting small items on web pages where zooming is not allowed and where a laptop and mouse would be needed e.g. in charting packages. I also find it useful for selecting text during editing where you need to be precise.
removing earwax, my finger is much more accurate than the s-pen to draw with
I figure it's a tool that needs to be learned like a musical instrument.
A little bit every day, until you get to the point where you're fluid, expressive, and extremely efficient.
Right now, I'm practicing here and there. Here's what I hope to be able to do very quickly with the S-pen in a couple months:
-- pull up S memo, jot down a quick note or 5, save in a "pile"; convert to text to be scheduled/organized later; shared to Evernote/Skitch/class notebook
-- screen capture pages and images, then edit/crop them to share later (like in the fancy demos)
-- sketch quick ideas, like charts and graphs, to import into a presentation form (ppt, email to group, into a video tutorial)
-- learn to draw (How to Draw app), to make quick flyers, invites, and ads
-- be very familiar with photo editing, exporting
-- be very familiar with video editing, exporting
-- annotate PDFs, whiteboards
-- be fluent enough to demonstrate all this to gawkers
As of now, I'm just dipping my toes in the all these pools. So much to learn, so little time...
I will say that I'm finding the tiny stylus and the inconveniently placed button difficult. I think the larger Samsung pen accessory into which the stylus can be inserted is somewhere in my future...
-
I use it to use the note when the temperatures are very low and I have my gloves on.
I love drawing and sketching with the s pen...
I also use it to write out messages quickly. Once you get used to using the s pen, handwriting input can be pretty fast - I manage to fit 4-6 words even on the portrait version of handwriting input for msgs and that works out pretty well; it's even better in landscape..
I use the pen for selecting small items on web pages too and also some games are much easier to play using the pen.
In the winter I imagine not having to take gloves off to use my phone (except to get the pen out of the slot of course!)
If you're asking though "Is it a gimmick?" then I will say NO. It is genuinely useful.
Nothing
My 9 year old daughter used it once to draw and keep herself busy whilst waiting for the main course to arrive
show off in front of my freinds it serves no other purpose.
I was so impressed by this I'm pseudo bumping it:

I kind of suspected that either you the stylus a LOT or you don't use it much at all.

Hello, so I'm trying to draw with the S-Pen. I tried Sketchbook by Autodesk but it doesn't seem as good as S-Note from what I can see.
If I want to just straight out draw over an existing picture in S-Note it's a real pain.. I can't seem to just open the picture in S-Note, only incest it somewhere on a blank page.
WORST OFF ALL, and I can't stress this enough, is when I move the pen too slowly it brings up this God awful crop/move/delete menu.. how can I destroy this evil pop-up that comes up every time I try to make slow precise lines?
This is my first note, surely there must be a better way to do this, can anyone tell me what that is?

Have had every Note phone and can say if you want a better experience try Autodesk Sketchbook. It's more driven for artist with references that match some components in Photoshop, S Note is really made for sketching. Second of all, don't get to used to adding a lot of detail in a drawing unless if you love to zoom in and out all the time, the screen will take a little getting used to but once you got it you'll be alright!
