Note app

Some help with the built-in Notes app please....I had a Note 2 and used S-note quite a bit, I used drop-sync for Dropbox as Samsung have a weird .srb file type for their notes....I've since saved all my notes as .pdf files and they are accessible in my Dropbox folder. Now I want to do something similar with my XZ, there is a built in Notes app which is basic but does the job, it has a sync option which is with Evernote, which I've created an account with them and turned the sync on though it's not syncing my notes to Evernote
Has anyone else used the Notes app yet? If so have you got Evernote sync working?
Cheers

On the top of the Notes app, just beside the icon you can see area with a number of notes you have taken. Click there and from the drop-down menu select your Evernote account, now they will sync.

I have another problem with the built-in app. It's great that it syncs with Evernote, the widget is just awesome, but you cannot edit the notes from the app, you have to open them via Evernote. If you create a note from the app, then you can edit it, but then it syncs with Evernote, and once you edit or view it in Evernote, you again cannot edit it in the built-in app. Any suggestions?

Use Google Keep instead

[Q] Upgrade Process - Transferring Data

Hi Guys,
Just curious if anyone knows if they have a method of transferring contacts and photos and whatnot in store? I've been upgrading through HTC iterations and they have the p2p software for this. I don't know how it's going to be going from an M8 to a galaxy device and wondering if I should do it all myself tonight or if the guys at the store have something for me.
Really excited to get my device tomorrow!
Thanks in advance.

Samsung Smart Switch app is installed on the phone when you receive it.

I feel like I'm missing something here.

Do it yourself, should be automatic for the contacts.
One of the beauties of the Android/GMail/GDrive eco-system is automatic syncing of these things.
IOW, your contacts (& calendar entries & other stuff) should already be in your GMail. (check first, just to be safe)
When you register the new handset in Gmail, it will automatically sync your contacts, calendar entries, etc.
.
I'd use Drive to back up yer pics & vids. Open 'em up and check off all you wanna keep.
Then share with Drive. Easy peasy.

Haha no you're not missing something. I have everything auto-backing up through google's ecosystem. My issue was that I bought a Moto360 recently which forced me into using Google Hangouts. When I made the transition, literally 1/2 of my contacts stopped showing up - I only see phone numbers instead of names on quite a few text messages. Checking what I've synced w/ google, all my contacts with names are definitely there. But I've just been leery of trusting the cloud ever since. And maybe too lazy to dig and work out a solution. So I was hoping for some miracles to happen with some 3rd party transferring intervention. Thanks!

Thanks for the tip! I did have to download it from the play store but it works flawless. I've tried so many apps to back up and restore my messages from my note 3 to note 4 and all of them failed to restore my group mms correctly. This one did it correctly and a lot faster. I went with the back up / restore via SD card method. Thanks again!

spen notes syncing

I own a s3 tablet with spen and wonder whether handwritten notes would sync between the Note 8 and the tablet via Samsung sync. Any idea? Thank you. :fingers-crossed:

Notes have synced before with other devices and if they don't, opening your saved notes should import in the updated apps

From settings for Accounts ensure you have a Samsung Cloud account sync and set Notes to sync. Alternatively look at settings in Samsung Notes and select Samsung Cloud sync. When you get your Note8 do the same and Notes will sync between devices. I use this with my Note GE and Tab S3.

Some older notes do not sync...my Note 3 notes would not sync to the Note 7 because I didn't update the SNote app on my Note III..I had to import them. The notes that were made with the updated app synced fine...Always manually sync all accounts before swapping devices though...If you use the switch app, they should all transfer easily...

Samsung Notes Can't Sync Error

I hate this app but I'm stuck using it cause that where the off screen notes save to.
Anytime I create a new off screen note, a notification comes up saying couldn't sync to Samsung Cloud. I can silence the notification but it shows in the app too & is annoying. Any way to disable that?
I have all cloud services disabled as far as I know but doesn't matter as it seems it's the app that is the issue.
Why couldn't Samsung have just stuck with the good ol' Snote!

All good, but thanks. Yes I did finally figure it out. It was a permission issues that was causing that message & would have caused a sync issue as well if I was using sync. I originally only had storage granted for permissions. Granting contacts & phone fixed the issue like you said.
I prefer not not sync my notes. Samsung currently has no way of deleting the sync'd notes off their cloud through a webpage. You need to use the original device that was sync'd to delete anything notes saved in their cloud. Had to find my note Note II & fire it up to delete the sync'd notes saved on the cloud.
While, I'm here anyone know the location of the saved notes for Samsung Notes on the Note 8? It doesn't seem to save to internal storage like the old Snotes did. I think it's somwhere /data/data/com.samsung.android.app.notes but I can't figure it out. I currently only have 2 notes but in those folders nothing matches up.
