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
Hi,
I just replaced my Note 3 by a Note 5 (N920i) and I noticed the way you view the calendar is different (week view).
on the note 3, it appears this way: http://www.servimg.com/view/15688685/54
when on the note 5 it appears this way: http://www.servimg.com/view/15688685/55
I prefer the first view and I did not find how to modify it like that (or is it possible ?).
Thanks for your help
did you sync them via same software ?
Yes I use Android-Sync. It's not a problem of content - the events are well synchronized - but a question of view: on the GN3, you don't see the hourly details which is easier to look at, while on the GN5, you have to scroll to see the whole day.
Desired outcome: I want to be able to sit in meetings, taking notes on my phone, but then access them on my PC by whatever means possible.
Is there a way to sync the notes taken on my device with Samsung Notes with any windows app?
I have tried the S Note app in the windows app store. Doesn't work. And sucks big time even if it did.
OneNote maybe? Evernote? Or maybe Samsung has a surprise and it syncs with its own Samsung Notes windows app (if it existed).
S Note could sync to Evernote. I really miss that.
OneNote (the Android app) syncs fine (to OneNote, the desktop app), but I don't see a way to go straight to creating a new note in it from the S Pen shortcut menu. You can create a badge that does it; it floats on your display (similar to the S Pen floating icon), but it doesn't seem to integrate into the S Pen workflow.

S Note (NOT Samsung Note) still does it

So is there any way to get my current Samsung Notes over to SNote (or even Onenote)?
I can switch over but my old notes are still in Samsung Notes
I got to this old thread looking for something similar.
There is a windows 10 Samsung Notes APP.
What does not work for me is the freaking AUTOMATIC sync... i have to manually go into the options menu and hit sync both on the phone and on PC... kinda bad.
I can't install the app on my surface pro, says not compatible!
I primarily use Onenote on the desktop, but Samsung notes is a better app on the note 8.
If there are issues with finding a Windows app then try using Samsung DEX it turns your phone into a desktop.
That's like using a digger to crack a nut.
I think I'm just going to review my Workflow, treat the phone as more of a note pad and review my notes onto the desktop.

Me too.
Anyone knows a workaround to install Samsung Notes on a Surface Pro?
I wish to get "samsung notes" to work on my surface pro also
I have Samsung notes on my Note 8 and the Samsung Notes Windows 10 app on my Samsung Notebook 9 Pro. Works perfect and notes are synchronized back and forth.
Should work the same on Surface Pro.
Unfortunately, here's what I get on my HP desktop (Win 10 x64 latest build):
"This app is not compatible with this device."

Nope, Samsung Notes is not compatible with the Surface line for whatever reason.
Also not compatible with Lenovo X1 Carbon Yoga

I checked again Friday and it would install on my Surface Pro 4. The issue was it wouldn't sync with the SNote app on my Note 8.
I installed the SNote app on my Surface Pro 4 and also on my Note 8 and managed to get a first sync. It really is crap and I'm sticking with OneNote even though you can't use quick notes just by taking the pen out. The sync seems to take so long and sometimes there is a syn option in the Windows 10 menu and sometimes pressing the button asks if you want to deleted the account. I changed a note on my Surface and then opened the same note on my Note and no changes were made.

I think you're confusing 'S Note' and 'Samsung Notes'. They're two completely different apps.
Samsung Notes seems to be only compatible with S-Pen devices. So that's only Samsung devices then, I guess.
S Note is a different story and works on all PCs, but it's different from Samsung Notes and they don't share the same database, unfortunately.

Nope, look in the app store on either Android or Windows and you will find S Note that can install on any Android. Samsung Notes is what comes stock on all Samsung devices.

Sorry, I think you missed my main point. First, I don't know if Samsung Notes comes preinstalled on all Samsung devices. But Samsung Notes doesn't install on devices without S-Pen, which includes Microsoft's Surface Books. S Note is the old app, that is slowly being replaced by Samsung Notes. S Note does install on probably all devices, and doesn't require the S-Pen.
And this is the unfortunate part: you can't share data from Samsung Notes to PC, if you don't have a PC that is able to run Samsung Notes. Furthermore, Samsung Notes doesn't sync to Evernote as well. And that is annoying, because Samsung Notes is (among other things) the default app for "Screen Off Memo" and in general will become the default app for everything.
So: people would prefer to continue using S Note, but they're pushed towards Samsung Notes, which doesn't meet their needs.
I saw a recent article about being able to use tasker to activate, via Active Edge, to run any app you want. I've written and called the Google Pixel tech team and suggested that they added a "squeeze to answer" feature. I hate swipping to answer especially I'm a Samsung convert coming from a Note 5. The Nt 5 had a physical home button so you could set the button to answer calls which made life easy and one handed. But, now I have a Pixel 2 XL don't miss the Note at all, but I want that feature.
So can it be done? I hope I don't have to root
Thanks
Any way to view notes from galaxy note 9 on galaxy watch? I use my note to write down a bunch of skus of soils and mulch and when I'm driving the forklift I'd like to just look at my watch instead of having to constantly get my phone out of my pocket to see what I need to grab. Thanks in advanced
