I have the Redmi Note 2 Prime and so far I am quite happy with it.
I have not signed up into MI Cloud/account and notice some of the
features require it. I am just a wee bit leery about syncing with MI cloud (in China)
and wonder has anyone done that and have issues with it w.r.t. security/privacy etc..
Maybe I am just paranoid. Let me know your experiences with MI cloud and syncing with it.
I've been using it for the last few years and it's perfect. It works just like iCloud on iOS in that it backs up whatever you choose to have backed up from notes to contacts etc. I just got my Redmi Note2 a few days ago and all I had to do was swop over my sim and microsd from my old Redmi, logged in and everything was just as I left it.

Finally got the Nexus 7 in the mail today. Very happy with it, like how it feels and performs. Very happy with the price too.
Being a iPhone and iPad user since the original iPhone to just selling my 4s. Android is very exciting.
I also recently bought the Samsung Galaxy S3 and been loving it, have it rooted and running a custom rom, it is everything I wanted from Android.
Now with this new tablet, I am wondering if there is anything I should do to make the most out of having both an android phone and tablet. Apps that synchronize or just work really well together.
I also wanted to say that although I really enjoy everything I've come across with this OS I am a bit disappointed with the app ecosystem, and wanted to ask if long time android users have noticed that there have been more app being produced recently or if it is picking up. Although their is a few replacements for some of the apps I'm used to, they don't seem as polished, specifically I had an app classed iStudiezPro that synced my iphone,Ipad, and macbook with all my teacher info, class schedules, homework assignments, final dates, grades, ect ect. Looking for stuff like that.
Thanks for the help in advance,
Alex
P.s. I see up top that SyncSMS is recommended, is that the best way to text from the tablet from your phone? I heard of MightText also. Any suggestions?

I've used DeskSMS, and Textab. I didn't like the fact that Textab required bluetooth pairing of my phone and tablet. That resticted the distance between my phone and tablet. For that reason I liked DeskSMS. DeskSMS sends your txts to your gmail, and gtalk. This is very convient. All that is needed is a wifi connection to receive txts that go to your phone on your tablet. Also, I believe MMS messages are sent as attachments to your gmail. I have no experience with MightyText but the description says it runs through a browser. That is a restriction I do not what to have. I'm assuming that if I close the browser I won't receive txts on my phone. So with that said SendSMS was the best for me.
Here is a thread discussing alternatives to iStuziepro.

Try Class Buddy.

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.
General question about android. I am giving up my iphone 5, so don't hate on the noob question here, please.
Last Monday, my wife got the iphone 6 4.7" and I was just not impressed. i had been researching the android market, and selected the note 4 and preordered it after holding the note 3 in my hands and reading the reviews / specs to the note 4. After seeing the note 4 on display this Friday at best buy, I was reassured that I made the right choice. Last night my wife decided that she wanted to take her iphone 6 back and get do the same, but she wanted white. I was pretty happy because it further validated my reasons to change, there just wasn't much difference in the phones from 4s/5 to the 6. Only hold up she has concerns about is all of the music and how we share it currently. Apps we don't really buy, it's just music that we buy. We always have shared the itunes music account and kept our own icloud accounts etc... but the beauty of the shared itunes was when i purchased music or she purchased music, it would sync to our phones automatically. The same with apps. While apps are not the driving factor, the shared music is.
Do any of you share a google play account at home to keep music purchases to a family account and how?
Thanks in advance!
My wife and I have separate google accounts (makes it easier for calendar events sharing etc) however, for music, we do share a Spotify account. If you are both in to your music, you really should check out spotify... you will wonder why iTunes is even a thing after that
Hi guys,
I am contemplating a change from the IPhone 6 Plus to the Galaxy s7 edge. I think the phone is awesome after playing with it some at the store. Couple of questions that I have.
- How does iCloud email work on the s7 edge, I've had android before (S3 I believe) and the email push was terrible, emails wouldn't come in etc.
- I have iCloud photo sharing with numerous people in my family, is there anyway to continue sharing photos taken with the s7 edge? I know it's Android/IOS but is there some sort of workaround or app? Any solutions from the pros?
- I am also subscribed to Apple Music with family app, so I know Android has an Apple Music app now, anyone using it? How's it work?
FYI I also have an iPad Pro I use for school/work, mainly using MS Office apps.
Thanks! I hope to be picking one up today!
I ditched my iphone 6 plus for the s7e. Left apple completely minus podcast i listen too on ipod. No regrets at all.
As for ur questions i cant answer them as i never used those apple services. Ou time i used icloud was the free 5gb it offered. After that didnt make sense to pay for 50gb although it is appealing but i have a 2tb external hard drive. Two actually so dont need the apple service.
Thanks for the reply!
If you don't mind me asking when you say you ditched apple completely, what other products did you have and what did I you replace them with? How's that going?
