S-Calendar and S-Finder Question - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Two things that I am missing on the Note 5 are:
1) Writing in handwriting on the calendar like on the Note 4 - I can enter even'ts in handwriting but I can't write across the whole calendar as it was possible to do on the Note 2,3, and 4. Am I just missing it or did they take that feature out. If they took it out - is there a calendar on the playstore that has something like this.
2) On the Note 3 and 4 it was possible to use S-Finder as a calculator by handwriting in an equation that would then be forwarded to Wolfram Alpha where it got solved - has that been removed as well. If so does anybody know of an app that can do something like that. I have the Wolfram Alpha app but it takes much longer to type it in then it was to write it. I also have Script Calculator but that only solves simple equations.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated in this matter.
Thanks

ColorNote

Hi,
Am pretty new to Android and came across this really nice App/Widget called ColorNote. An all in one package that has a lot of features and comes in a reasonably sized package.
I'm sure many of you are already using this. The reason for the post however is not to promote this, but to ask if anyone either knows of a way to contact the author or know of an alternative to this.
What I need is an app with all the features of the above, but with a widget that is NOT a sticky post, but with something like a flip pad. That is the widget shows page 1 of the notes and then I either click an up/ down arrow to move between pages or click on the tip of a page to move between them as in the app here -> http://www.appbrain.com/app/simple-notes/hu.monsta.simplenotes
Can someone help me?
Thanks
Evernote is one of the best note taking apps. You can do voice notes, text notes and pictures. Web, desktop and phone apps. My only real complaint is that you can't write checkable lists on the phone app, but they are adding new stuff all the time. Oh and it doesn't have a widget, but you should still check it out.
springpad is also pretty good.. has awidget where you can scrol through different notes...
I use colornote for checklists. I like it. Its very clean and easy to use.
I have been trying to embrace the cloud using Springpad on my phone, CR-48 (meetings/note taking computer at work), my W7 work desktop and my Macbook Pro personal laptop. It's been working out well so far.
Colornote is nice for taking quick notes, like during a meeting or something.
For everything else, I also use Springpad. In the past I've gone through Catch (formerly 3banana) and Evernote both but I feel that Springpad is superior to all of them.
Just to add an extra choice, I've been liking Simplenote
Andronoter is a free Android client of it, www.simplenoteapp.com is the web interface.

1. copy the zune-link i sent you.
2. write a mail to yourself.
3. open it on your phone.
for the 12 folks that are already in i sent a mail to their live-inbox.
hope that solves the installation issue.
Installing got no problem.Try google you tube it's quite fast and manage toplay video without any problem.The only thing I must get used to the tab.Well so far there's not any bug yet .
When I make a new tab it seems I can't search when I type xda developers it says ERROR Invalid url.I think every tab that we make if possible make to the home page.

thanks for fast feedback
BETA tester
My response from BETA-testing. (Note: Even if you have posted some bugs I'll still fill my list with what I experience)
Phone: LG Optimus 7
Status: Works perfectly!
My current status: Stopped BETA testing.
Positive:
100% fullscreen
Customization!
Live tile with information about current session!!
Slide up the URL tab on fullscreen to get to normal view without fullscreen.
Fast web browser
Share page function (lovely!!)
It's now my official MAIN browser!
-
-
Things to maybe improve & suggestions:
First startpage is google.de, could have been google.com (but nothing special actually)
Maybe you could make your own videoplayer to play eg. youtube videos on, instead of using the phone's player (not required since the videoplayer of the phone is also good)
Also have the abillity to press the favorites url instead of only the visit button at the bottom. But keep it.
Maybe slide with 2 or 3 fingers down on the screen for entering/exiting fullscreen mode?
-
-
Negative and or Currently found bugs:
When entering fullscreen mode, it's hard to get back to regular. I had to tap like 5 times on the black button at the bottom left. (hard to use the button)
If the application opens without internet connection it will say ERROR, no network available. But it does say it when I change to other menus such as settings (keep spamming ERROR everywhere)
Theres no suggestion of websites when entering a url for eg. if you enter www.fa it could show up some suggestions like facebook or failblog.
-
I'll edit this post with more when I find
thanks for that wonderful feedback, so much inspiration
some response to the bugs:
- i'm currently working on the suggestionlist, shouldn't be that difficult.
- for the fullscreen-button i got a new solution, what should make it much
easier.
- the Network-check must be fixxed, thanks for your discovery.
@Ttblondey: search function is now included
I have given my review here and video review here.
Overall I found the app to be very nice and smooth. A good alternative for sure but there are few things you can look into except the bugs which is already reported.
1) One is integration with skydrive for syncing bookmarks etc.
2) More Gestures
3 ) Open up option for both Google and Bing as search engine.
4 ) cookie turn on and off.
Rest is all good, keep us rolled in beta.

Please read the first post carefully
I would like a "Search for text" function in the functions menu Would be awesome to be able to search for words on a page
And else I can say that I'm really happy with the browser, works well, and hopefully soon releasing? Because then you could like update with small minor updates incase something is needed
Happy New Year roqstr!
there's a search for text function ;O it's just not my own at the moment, a provisional solution,if you will
Yea, but i always find features that shouldn't be missing in the release-version, to make it working right
next week i'll be busy with school, shouldn't fail my exams
afterwards, i'd be able to release an open beta, just for some extra feedback
next step is fixing last issues and then i'll release ;P
if somebody do have experience with apphub, pubcenter & co, he can pm me to help me understanding
thanks, hope you all enjoyed New Year's Eve, i did ;P
Still waiting to test this thing
it looks nice, can't wait for release :O
I wrote a browser, based on IE its in my signature.
I'll be happy to test your browser and get better result to my and your app.
Biggest issue at the moment is the picture-viewer, but I hope I can handle this soon.
@sma6871: I'll test it and message you when I have questions or suggestions.
Unfortunately I forget to set trial mode, but now I send a trial mode enable update, and it will be up to date soon.
open beta out now. read 1st post!
Here is my feedback :
1.Dropdown to switch between search engines
2 Where did Advance Main Colour Gone ?
3. When I try yo change Main Colour Accent Colour it gives me sorry message "You Should not Overwrite the accent style"
4. Find Text Crashes the app
5. You can think of ignoring pics which are of very small size in the Picture view.
6. Picture viewer also picks up YouTube thumbnail as picture but does not display anything.

[Q] S-Note and S-Memo differences

Hi All,
I'm hoping someone can give me an answer on why there are two programs that pretty much do the same thing, yet have differences that don't make real sense to me.
- The handwriting to text function, one is found using the menu, the other isn't.
- Syncing with Evernote...
1)S-Note asks for email and password when you choose to sync, S-Memo asks for User name and password.
2)S-Memo syncs and you can see the text etc that is editable. However, when you edit this in evernote. This sync is only one way.
3)When you sync with S-Note, it uploads as a .snb file attachment.
I guess I don't really understand why they didn't merge these two apps together?
My goal is that I take handwritten notes, this sync's to Evernote, where I can tidy this up and have as a document. Does anyone else currently do this? Maybe with another app available? (If the Evernote app did this it would be perfect!)
I've read other threads regarding these two apps but nothing has been mentioned about how they are the same, yet different.
well the s-memo is basically useful when you want to write something light and want to do it fast, the s-note app allows you to practically create a book, i mean, you can make a single note with a lot of pages, also, there are the productivity tools, the templates, the handwrite recording and some other things that allows you to personalize your note and helps you to make it the way you want it to be, there could be different reasons you are making a note for, as for your job, for homework, or so... also you can convert your note(s-note) into a pdf or add to it images, you can even attach an s-memo to the note!
SMemo allows you to "press the stylus button, double tap screen" and GET a hovering memo pad over ANY Screen ... I think this is the most useful feature and reason why I still uses SMemo
Thanks for the replies, much appreciated.
I agree the S-memo double tap function is great and really useful, although I still think that merging the two apps together and making this a function of S-Note would make sense.
@jpsb - Great explanation... it kind of increases my frustration with the sync'ing with Evernote, as I would think that the larger documents and meeting notes etc would be what you would rather sync, rather than S-memo small scibbles on-the-fly.
There's another thread been created at the same time along the same topic:

S Note clone

Hello,
Galaxy series is wunderfull piece of hardware because of S-Pen. To use its full potential you need propper software for it.
Original S Note is great software, but has some reasonless limitations:
- password (max 10 chars, no chars like [email protected]#...)
- sounds (can't be turned off)
- pens (cannot rearange possition of user defined pen styles)
- can't easly insert space in memo...
(connected app --> "Action Memo", has too few editing options, formating options...)
I don't belive that it will be fixed in future versions. So the one and only solution seems to be create new S Note clone.
There was nice attempt "Write beta", you can find it on google play, but it is probably no more supported and developed.
So the foolish question is:
Is someone willing to start develop S Note clone?

Maybe I'm missing something important, but I just use Google keep. I use "S Pen Toolkit" to auto-launch Keep when I remove the S-Pen, and it seems to work well enough for what I use it for.

The point is that you cannot compare Google Keep or EverNote with S-Note. S-Note is very complex with many functions. But as I wrote, S-Note has pointless restrictions. Also it is written here:

(Of course I know, recreate S-Note-clone is complicated, but it could be a challenge for someone )

Google Speech2Text Engine - Suspend Input Windows

Hi there,
maybe this topic is wrong in this forum. I dont know where to ask.
Some time ago I was using my Nexus 5 with stock Android.
On this device I used the Swiftkey Keyboard and with this keyboard the Google Speech to Text engine.
I used to button to start recording, the system was processing and then my speech was transferred as text in the input field in any app like Messenger, WhatsApp, whatever.
Now I got my new Mate 10 Pro (BLA-L09). For my surprise the Swiftkey was preinstalled, but okay. I organized my phone in that way I like it and everything was fine.
But now there is a new step in this process. When I talked to my phone to record my speech there is an additional screen where I can choose some options. The option I choose will be transferred in the text-input field.
But I do not find any solution to skip the options screen that google directly puts the best fitting solution into my input.
See attached screenshots for any informationen.
Maybe someone knows where to deactivate this or how I can use it the "old" way.
Thanks.
