So I'm coming from my note 3 and now on my note 8 snote is gone... Why Samsung gets rid of awesome apps I'll never know... Does anyone know a app that works the same? Or is there a way to get snote on my note 8?
Playstore
S Note is on the playstore and Scrapbook is on the Samsung store. You'll need to download the extra features in settings on SNote to get all the functionality.

Is Samsung note not the same thing?

No, far from it. Many of the useful features are missing or crippled in Samsung Notes.
Sorry maybe it's not called snote... It was the app that looked like a sticky note and you could scroll through all your notes with the widget?

I just upgraded from Note3(lollipop) to Note 4(lollipop) and I'm missing a couple of useful features.
Note 3 had an ability to edit a screenshot right after taking it.
I really liked being able to crop it before sharing.
With Note 4 it seems like I can do the same only if I have stylus out?
Is there a way to do it w/o stylus?
Note 3 had a display setting feature where I could change screen settings per application.
I liked have my Hangouts less bright and a bit more yellow..easier to read text.
Note 4 seems to be missing this feature too?

As far as the screenshot edit idk if you're joking or literally don't see it but for the T-Mobile Note 4, it does in fact have that option. Check out the screenshot I just captured.
Edit: BTW I never removed the stylus.
No, I'm not joking. I just never thought of expanding that notification. So :good: to you for that.
Today I received a message from Samsung that the lockscreen "My Interests" will end on 17.11.2015.
They do not tell the reason.
See my screenshot for the message.
I haven't found anything about this in the web.
I'm really upset about this. Samsung has promoted the feature especially.
Edit: It is 17.11.2015. Maybe a mod could fix this in topic

I care! This used to be the "Travel" wallpaper option (Note 2, Note 3) powered by TripAdvisor. On Note 4 it changed to My Interest and added new categories for image sources. I've been using it since Note 2.
Any good alternatives for Lock Screen wallpaper cycling?
I am actually using the other weather wallpaper can it is currently working
I just started using it a few weeks ago.
I mean its no surprise, Samsung backstabs customers wherever possible.
First the updates, then the stupid exclusivity (themes/slimTouchWiz), and now this?
Its just not surprising anymore.
Bought a Z3C recently, it OWNS my Note 4 Exynos regarding multitasking and performance. Never again - even if it means I have to give up my beloved ZeroLemon.
I've been using it since the Note 4 came out, I absolutely love it (used it for landscapes, night shots and travel). I will sorely miss it. Anyone have any interesting substitutes.

Yeah Exynos sucks pretty bad. My snapdragon Note 4 dances circles around my Exynos Tab S
I also tried to setup different backgrounds for launcher and lockscreen, but didn't succeed.
My idea was to use the Muzei wallpaper as a substitute for the Interests lockscreen, and have another wallpaper for the launcher (Nova, in my case).
It is obvious that the battery is no longer replaceable, but there are also other removed features.
I have been using a Galaxy S3 for a long time, because I wanted to wait for the S6 originally, but it turned out different than expected. I was also open for other phone brands.
However, I am wondering about why certain features from previous Samsung phones are no longer there.
Examples:
Radio - Could be useful to gather traffic information where signal reception strength is too weak (no coverage).
Air View - I looked forward to that feature, because it can give me a video preview like YouTube on the desktop computer. Apparently, that feature is no longer there.
Gestures - Didn't previous Samsung phones have some Air Gestures?
Thermometer - Allows temperature measurement.
Drama Shot - I don't care much, because GIMP and Photoshop can do it better probably.
USB 3.0 - Now, we have USB-C, gladly.
Water resistance - Gladly back again.
Battery size - Unfortunately not much improvement here, over the last years.
FTP file manager - I can use ES File Manager for that. No problem.
MicroSD - Is back again.
Infrared - Would really be nice.
Real home button - Is nice but I can live without it.
There were also other minor features I forgot to mention.
Here is a comparison between Galaxy S5 and S6: https://youtu.be/ksa5HKcqrW8
_________________________________________________
Now, why did Samsung remove certain features in the past such as Air View and Gestures?
I would have liked to own a phone with Air View.
Not sure anyone can explain the reasons for why Samsung does things. I assume it's based on market research, profit margins, etc. like any other business.
As sefrocko said, market research mainly
Is this thread about S6 or Note 8? Wrong forum?
Some examples seem incorrect for Note 8:
Air view is still here!
Radio depends on version, SD (e.g. N950U1) has FM radio.
I agree that with sefrcoko. Also, if you remove feature, you can re-introduce as new. Like multi-window was already possible with Note 2 and Note 10.1 in Android 4.2, disappeared and came back later..

This also applies to the Note 8.
I was originally looking for a general Samsung thread, not one for a specific Samsung phone, but I could not.
I posted at Note 8 instead of S9 because I can remember reading an article from Android Authority in late 2016. I will post the link below when I find it.

A test at a local tech store:
Yes, Air View does partially exist. However, in a diminished way.
Also AirView with fingers is removed.

You created 4 different posts, one after the other, all addressing the same one previous post. You could just have edited your first post and added the new information to that instead of creating extra, unnecessary posts.
on previous galaxy phones maybe like 4 years ago, the video app show thumbnails video all playing a short clips on the video.

Go to your stock camera and swipe to the left and you should see a blue box that says create my emoji. Click on that and it should redirect you to the samsung galaxy apps page. It's really useless to be honest with you. Animoji for iphone is a lot better and innovative.

Yes they did! I was cursing and saying the exact same thing.. It's just like the device manager that they took from us for well over a year.. They are always messing with something and taking it something.. And if you look at the date on the kernel, they took a good month to pull things. They're not trying to make sure anything works on their silly network.. They are just trying to remove features in the frail "hope" that it will make people upgrade to the new models.
Same thing for security patches.. Notice we didn't get one at all for 3 months, while Samsung had been rolling them out every month steady. All you have to do is either read here in some of the other threads, or simply sammobile. The latter always tells when they're is an update our patch to any Samsung device. And I just sat, read, and observed. They do this every year, with every single new devices far as Samsung is concerned.
They let Verizon do that to us. But yes, Verizon is as crooked a carrier, as a bent telephone pole.. I feel you what though, it makes me feel just the opposite. Why in the world would I, as a consumer keep investing money in a device that isn't cheap by a Longshot as far as cellular devices are concerned, when all they're going to do, is disable features, that the device was designed for by the manufacturer..
It really, at this price point to me is simply sickening.. And I really and utterly refuse....

There is no AR feature in the so-called AR emoji for Note 8. There are plenty of app that can be used to create personalized sticker, nothing special.

Ha yeah that'd be the easiest solution, are you saying that because you don't think it's do-able? I was thinking maybe even just trying to find the kernel in a note 9 to borrow from? Again I'm not sure .. ?
There's no bluetooth in our SPen, So there's hardware limitation to implement such thing.

Like mentioned above. It's a hardware limitation, not a software one. Our S-Pens don't have Bluetooth, so it can't be done. Even if they did, the next problem would be the system. You'd need to port the Note 9 camera with all its libraries and likely other things, also, to make the device recognise the Bluetooth signal it's getting from the pen and what it should do with it. So, even just taking a Note 9 S-Pen and using it on your Note 8 won't automatically give you those features. Quite simply, it's literally impossible, just like it's literally impossible for pigs to grow wings and fly.
