Hello everyone, first and foremost I am a happy original Gnote 10.1 user, who migrated from the original tab 10.1. The GNote 10.1 have been the most useful gadget I ever used in classes, and it works flawlessly as an entertainment device as well. I purchased the Gnote 10.1 when it came out and nothing has been able to replace it.
I was looking forward to buy the 2014 version as soon as it comes out and retire my old Note, but now I am having doubts.
I bought a Note 3 from T-Mobile on day one, moving on from a Nexus 4 because I needed a device with better battery life and capabilities, and since I was familiar with the Note series-it wasn't a hard decision to make. 4.3 is fast and runs flawlessly on the Note 3, but I couldn't help but notice the changes that Samsung have done to the S-Note app. You know, one of the main reasons consumers actually pick a Note device over the competition. Here's what I noticed so far:
1. Clicking the button on the S-Pen inside of S-Note does not switch between the pen/pencil presets, but instead brings up Air Command.
2. Formula matching is pretty much hidden, you can no longer use that feature inside of S-Note to look up solutions for mathematical formulas via Wolfram Alpha. Instead you have to enter it in S Find. Pretty stupid if you ask me. Actually I couldn't find how to look that up for the life of me if it wasn't for another XDA user.
3. Erasing anything precisely that you draw/write is basically a pain now. You can wave goodbye to being precise about erasing anything you draw into S-Note. Let's say you drew a circle, and you set your eraser to a 1 because you want to erase just that small portion of it to correct it or whatnot, it will erase a lot more than you think it will even if you set it to 1.
4. Backwards compatibility, when trying to import an .SNB file it forces you to convert it so that it only works with the new version of S-Note.
5. Syncing with Google Drive has been removed, instead you could only use a Samsung account or Evernote. Granted you could copy the files from the S-Note folder and back them up manually, but why do you have to do that?
6. Shape matching is the worst downgrade of all of the above, remember how you could draw a crooked line or a set of lines (crossed or not) and they would get straighten up automatically? Now you have to draw those lines, pick the lasso tool, circle the lines you drew, and hit transform into shape for that to work. 50% of the time it misses the shape you're actually aiming for and then you have to redraw the whole thing. This is a setback because if you're crossing lines and if only one of the lines wouldn't be transformed correctly then you have to draw the whole thing again.
Trust me, I am not b*tching about Samsung or trolling, the app has been improved a lot visually and it looks better than ever, and I will probably wind up buying the tablet cause it is still one of the best tablets out there (for me). But I cannot help but ask why would they do all of that? What do you guys think?
If you root you can probably uninstall the new s note and install the old one though there might be issues. I don't think most people used s note anyways. I used lecturen otes personally and don't bother with wolf ram alpha.

Of course all I've said is subjective to everyone's usage patterns and what options do they use, but I used all of those regularly. The only reason I'd root my device is to be able to use more apps for multiwindow...but with the Knox drama I will probably hold off. Regardless it is still a bummer what they did to S-Note.
I watched so many product demos of the old Note 10.1 and being the owner of the new 10.1, I can tell you that your complaints regarding S-Note on the Note3 are valid for the Note 10.1... S-Note for the Note3 and the Note 10.1 are the same. The biggest bummer with the new version is that it doesn't automatically do "shape & text" conversion on the fly anymore. You now have to lasso everything, select the conversion, hope it does it well and then to top it off, it doesn't line it up to the lines on the template so you have to lasso it again to move it. To make my handwriten notes searchable I name/tag the top of each page in standard text or just use the handwriting recognition piece at the bottom, which is ok but isn't nearly as good as Microsoft's OCR tool like in OneNote. I wish there was a training utility to help with accuracy; or if anything it'll teach me to be more careful on my penmanship.
this is sad news
i will wait for further confirmation on the incoming reviews
i didnt have the Old note 10.1, so when i choose now what u think ! i Mainly want it for Note taking
and does the lecture notes app solve these issues
would they make modifications in the new snote, wether by Samsung itself, or developers !
Note 10.1 2014 and Note 3 Snote tips.
I just got my Note 10.1 2014. S note still has formula and autoshape functions. They only become an option AFTER you draw them and then hit the select button (looks like a cloud) - then circle the item and hit transform. It works well in practice.
i am looking into the others, after I clean and my tablet charges. I ran out most the battery downloading my apps from my previous tablet.
I could do an insane amount of stuff on a note 10.1 and used it for everything - and I will figure this out - and I have my list.
What I do know is advanced art functionality was given a new home in Sketchbook instead of residing in SNote.
S Finder does solves - but I haven't found out how to do it native to SNote yet.
The Global Search of Wolfram Alpha no longer is in S Note either.
My Note 2 qand Note 10 both toggle eraser and pen - not different presets in my pencil box. No way i found to toggle that yet on the new tablet.
Erase by Stroke is an option in the eraser - and this is new - uncheck it and it does not erase the whole word or shape - just what you actually go over. Tap the eraser for the option. (just found that!)
I am still paying and researching and tinkering - and will find more, i am sure.

If you read my post carefully you would have understood that I am not looking to transform my handwriting into formulas, but actually writing a formula and search the Wolfram Alpha for it. Which like I said only can be done now through S Finder. I find that unacceptable. The transform handwriting to shape is troublesome since I have to go through all the extra steps to do it when I could do that on an old tablet by just clicking an icon and start drawing.
I also did explain that erasing is still not precise even when you set up your eraser side to 1, which only can be done by unchecking the erase by stroke option...
i want the old SN back........
I don't like the new S Note either. If we got a petition going, do you guys think Samsung would change it?
Nope. You would need at least 1 Million names on that petition.

So far this thread has a 1000 views. Maybe the petition is worth a shot lol. The majority of the people that found this thread probably feel the same way.
I just don't get how Samsung thinks that drawing a shape or formula and then drawing a box or lasso around it is better than converting the drawings on the fly.
It doesn't even seem to be quicker, especially with complex shapes.

I'm right in thinking that s note is laggy correct? Not just my unit but pretty much the experience? It takes a good second or two swiping between pages and a lot of times I have to redo the gesture not knowing if it detected it or not. I do have the lag when waking the device up to getting the home screen unlock and stuff like that, but that doesn't bother me as much because I don't do it as often, but trying to "flip through" notes is next to impossible with the delay. Is that the norm??
S Note does seem to be laggy and semi-unstable. When I first powered my tablet on and got the two forced updates, my tablet was supper laggy and S Note would crash on conversions and imports. Based on that, I wrote a hideous review on Amazon and started the return process with Newegg.
I factory reset it and packed it back up. So then I started getting flamed on Amazon from die hard Samsung fans and decided that it was time for proof that S Note was slower on the new Note than the original. I was video taping the pdf import and noticed that S Note improved, as well as the rest of the tablet. I think the two updates cause the infamous "slow after update syndrome" despite being pushed for increased stability.
Anyhow, that was all to say that after the factory reset, the tablet is more responsive.
However, I do agree that S Note has taken a step down and that it is slow to turn pages. I converted all of my notes to pdfs from my old tablet; the process was actually quicker than I thought. I am transitioning over to Lecture Notes; the import and export speeds are nice.
I would only factory reset after a backup or if you have nothing to lose. I did notice that after I reset the tab, it automatically downloaded all of the apps that I previously installed on it; this saved some time after deciding to keep it.

So I factory reset mine. Kind of a hassle having to redownload an reconfigure stuff, but oh well. The wake to lock screen is now much faster but S Note is still slow, maybe 20% faster in the page to page swipes, but still slow overall. I may have to just switch to LectureNotes or Note Anytime...

I'm glad it's a little faster. I've switched to Lecture notes. So far it's a good replacement if you don't depend on shape or formula match. S Note is still questionable on my tab as well, but the crashing at least decreased. Lecture Notes has a free trial I think so you would have nothing to lose

The problem I have with Lecture Notes is not syncing between devices. With Evernote (Skitch) or S-Note with Evernote sync or Samsung sync it works pretty good. Also, with Note Anytime it sync really well and also to my Windows 8 notebook and iPad. Lecture Notes is like an island unto itself and I have too many devices

I just found out that the maker of our S-Notes did release their version to the Samsung market. (not only to the OEM)
It has one big feature: writing and convert later :victory:
The selection tool is also good.
It does also export to txt. :good:
But the rest is mostly the same as the S-Note, if not worse: :crying: No shapes, No Calc, limited choice of backgrounds and pen styles, no recordings, no Wolfram.
Perhaps a bit slower.

I see it's rather pricey too (€8).
But this price could also be considered good news if this app is intended to really become a full featured, "pro" version of SNote in the next future.
Anyway, at this stage, I don't think the price is worth it yet (considering the features present in SNote and not in the app and considering other good paid for alternative apps that are priced less than half).
I had it on my lenovo thinkpad as an oem version. It want perfect utilities the things it did it did well to me s-note is full featured but doesn't do the basics well enough so much so that it is nearly unusable. I can't for the life of me figure out why the basic function of converting handwriting to text is so poorly implemented that I never use it.

And, if you buy from Samsung, you'll only be able to access it on Samsung devices. Too bad it hasn't come to the Market. At least that way you don't have to pay twice.
Folks with the ThinkPad Tablet got caught that way. Bought it from Lenovo and now if they want it for their Note they have to buy it all over again.

It's pretty basic and missing many features of the S-Note, but I love it.
Because it convert a bit better, I didn't have any problems with : backslash or coma, numbers and the r.
Where the S-Notes makes me mad, you write a text, make a mistake and the problems begins: you try to correct, but loose the input focus when using the pen, so you use the arrow keys you get back at the end of line but forget the space... no easy way to put text blocks together.....
And so one....
The MyScript is almost as so good, as was my old Newton MP2100.
Could someone get a deeper look at the JB S-Notes, I know about the page slider, color picking, backgrounds, I also did peak something about "Import" ?
What else did change? Or is new?

MSN didn't work for me, so I bought it and asked for a refund in the first month. 7Notes with mazec is far superior IMO. It handles my chicken scratch writing much better than MSN ever did. Glad it works for you. SNote was much worse for me than MSN.

I don't see MyScript Notes in the Samsung App store. I am running a Galaxy Note 2, so maybe that explains it. I'd love to get my hands on that apk file.
Funny, seems only for 10" Tablets.
I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 N8013...how come I cant find this app? It's not in the PlayStore, and I also cannot find Samsung Market on my tablet. I tried to install Samsung Market, but I dont see the app on my device.
I have my Note 10.1 for around 6 months now, i use it daily and i'm happy with it regarding smoothness and performance but i can't find use for it's specific features. I use it like i would any other android tablet.
Some of the specific features i'm talking about which i don't use:
Spen: it looks interesting as concept but it doesn't feel pratical to use. it's much more intuitive to use your finger instead of going for the pen.
The pen feels like an unnecessary extension of your finger.
I tried drawing but it was a disappointing experience, it doesn't track fast enough like you would on normal paper, it's much too slow, i have to draw in slow motion or it won't keep up.
Maybe it is useful for some handwritten notes but due to the drawing lag and the fact that the keyboard prediction is quite good i end up preferring to just use the keyboard.
multiwindow (or apps in hovering windows): it looks powerful and interesting but i've yet to find a use for it. I use several windows in a PC usually but it doesn't feel pratical to do it in a tablet, the screen size/resolution isn't big enough, you get 2 small windows and end up not enjoying properly either app.
Please help me make better use of my note, i'm happy with it but i feel i'm waisting some potential uses.
Hi,
I use the spen every day to take notes in meetings or at my desk. the snote application is for me unusable but with the right app (in my case Lecturenotes) it replaced completely my paper notebook in the job. Together with syncing the notes to Evernote or own server or sending handwritten notes with drawings per mail directly to collegues it fit's all my needs.
As mentioned, I don't see any lagging using the pen. and true, using the pen only to control the device does not make sense at all.

I bought the Note 10.1 primarily for notes, reading, work and browsing and I'm happy all round
I use the S Pen all the time and was one of the reasons I bought a Note and not a Nexus for example. Is your S Pen calibrated well? Mine has no problems with lag and can keep up with my writing with no problems at all. Maybe use a different tip?
I also use multiwindow which is nice for taking notes and browsing at the same time for example. Or watching a movie while working (if there's no boss around lol).
I got because I needed a 10" tablet for my whip and the note 10.1 had multi window.. I use this tablet as my main device.. I use cm10.2 because it seems a bit faster than stock and I came to the conclusion that multi window is pointless.. it doesn't work like it does on a PC were I can drag and drop
Sent From Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 [N8013]
I only use the multi-window occasionally. However, the stylus? I used to use that every day when I still had classes, but now that I'm doing all research and teaching, I only use it for quick and dirty calculations. I used to draw with it as well, but I don't have that time now.. :/
(What app are you using? I find that certain apps don't seem optimized for the spen, so the tracker does lag for those.)
tried lecture notes yesterday, looks clean and simple but i still feel the tracking lags a bit if you move the pen faster. if i write as i would on a normal paper it can't keep up completely. I tried the character recognition "keyboard" and it also fails to recognize most of my handwriting, might be a bit my fault too.
Anyway, still happy with my note, but i guess having spen or multiwindow won't be a requirement when i upgrade my tablet.
Otoh it seems that if choose to stick with samsung the new note 10.1 seems the only way to go because the galaxy tab3 has last year's screen resolution.
From your needs I would think that nexus 10 would be more than sufficient. Samsung too.

I agree. If you're not going to use the S-Pen, then why not get a Nexus 10 or even a Samsung Tab2/3? The only reason we put up with the dated resolution of the screen is the S-Pen, since there's no alternative (at least running Android).
Pretty much done away with notebooks here. I'm still torn between lecture notes and s note. I like certain features of each. I do find handwriting recognition more bother than worth. S pen IS the big advantage of the note. Definitely worth it to me.
Bottom line is my. Note is everywhere I am.

I also use SPen everyday. I bought this tablet for taking notes during meetings. I'm fully happywith it.
I use the multiwindow feature when I need several functions at the same time. For instance, I can open SNote with a calculator or internet navigator. But honestly, it's not my favourite feature.
I plan to move to another ROM since Samsung is not prompt to send us a new one. I would like to setup accounts. However, I would like to keep SNote ...

I would have considered the Nexus 10 if it was sold in my country (which is not), but, even so, i read that the Nexus 10 might not be as fast/smooth as the Note due to the higher resolution.

What do you mean exactly with hovering? Of course the software is _able_ to detect the spen hovering, because this is a hardware feature of the digitizer. For example: In lecture notes you can use hovering to scroll the page, that's because the developer chose to get the signals of the hardware (spen and digitzer). Samsung chose to integrate the hovering feature in the system api, so that you can scroll in menu's etc. Most of the AOSP rom's (i am using cyanogenmod, look at my signature) will not include the hovering in their system, but nevertheless it's a hardware feature that is enabled, but the software needs to use it. I hope you can understand this.
To palm rejection: It's nearly the same, with the little difference that the touchscreen always shuts down if the spen is near it. I don't know if it's even possible to write software that brakes this feature.
But I can assure you: On cyanogenmod the writing with spen is much more fluid, smoother and feels much better than on a tw based rom.

i think multiwindow is very useful
The first time I ever saw an iPad in person, I began to lust for one. Then, I bought my son an iPod Touch and we grew to despise iOS. So when I upgraded my old "feature phone" to a smart phone, I went Android. I loved it and never looked back. My first phone was a Samsung Captivate. When we switched from AT&T to Verizon, I got the Galaxy S3 (which I still have, but I'm suffering from S4 envy now!).
My first tablet was the original Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. I loved that tablet. After a couple years, I decided it was time for an upgrade and went with the Asus Transformer Infinity, mainly for the hardware keyboard (with extended battery, full size USB port, SD card reader, etc). What a piece of $#!+ that thing is! The keyboard will not stay attached to the tablet when folded shut. Physically, it feels flimsy and cheap. The battery life - even with the "extended" battery - was worse than my old Galaxy Tab. The thing was incredibly sluggish, slow, and crashed a lot. I tried several custom ROMs and that made things a *tad* better, but not really. Using it was an exercise in frustration.
So, I just picked up the new Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition. I LOVE this tablet! Very high quality build. It feels good and solid in my hands. The thing is FAST and performance (based on my user experience) is amazing! The S-Pen is fantastic and I love using it! (I just wish it worked on my S3!). I feel comfortable and at ease with a tablet again. No frustration at all anymore! This is everything a tablet should be! Even if I never install a custom ROM on it, I think I would still be extremely happy with it!
My only desire now is for Samsung to hurry up and release the Book Cover case for it.

Congrats. This is my first tablet I have ever owned, although a few people in my family own one. Because I started school again, most of my books are in PDF form and I started taking notes with the Note 2014. Taking notes has been really good, very easy to erase things and move equations around to other pages.
I'm very happy with this device and I'm finding new ways to integrate it into my life as the days go by.
The display is key, but the hardware needs to support it to avoid a laggy experience. This is why the Asus 700 and Nook HD+ suffer and is why I got the iPad 4.
The 2014 seems to be the first Android tablet to cover all bases without some significant caveat. Catch is the price. The pen function adds expense and I get why folks that need the function love it. I will not use it, so will wait for a price drop. Would have waited for the A701, but have read enough and seen enough issues with the Shield and Toshiba tablets to stay away.
The 2014 covers all the bases and has a key thing (sd slot) that I need.

When you do use the pen though, the price becomes worth it. The level of software they had to program into using the pen makes it worth it if you definitely need it.
But if you don't use it, then I guess you'll have to wait for the Galaxy Tab 4.

What do you use to annotate on books? I'd think s note would take forever to navigate through a large pdf.

I have a large number of pdf books including numerous Adobe DRM protected books. I highly recommend Mantano reader from the play store. I have tge oremium version but there is bith avlight and standard version.
The premium version adds so much functionality it is insane. All highlights, nites and bookmarks you have made are visible together on an index page fir each b9ok so you can easily find everyvnote you have made on a book or every highlight.

That's an awesome feature! I'm waiting for my Note and plan to use LectureNotes in class. While thinking about my workflow with it I thought that this 'indexing highliter' would be a really awesome feature. Does anybody know if LectureNotes has this functionality as well?
I'm not a mobile device guru or anything, but I have used a pretty decent variety of devices. My last two laptops were "convertibles" (the monitor flips around and folds over the keyboard to become a tablet). Currently a Dell XT3, previously a Fujitsu Lifebook. I delved into the "UMPC" world. I had a Samsung Q1 for a while and also thoroughly tested the Black Diamond Switchback, OQO Model 2, and others for my previous job.
The S-Pen is not a mere stylus like what came with all the other devices I've used. One of my favorite features is the ability to toggle it so the touch screen does not recognize my hand. I can finally rest my hand on the display while using the pen without weird things happening. It's a small thing, but really big for me.

I use ezPDF and take a snapshot of whatever I need in my notes. Then I paste it in and do stuff there. If anyone else has a better of of doing things, please let me know.

Thanks for letting me know. It's probably no big deal, I haven't figured out my workflow yet anyway. But could you imagine implementing this somewhere down the road?
The scenario that I have in mind is the following: Whenever there is a definition in my lecture slides (currently in paper form), I highlight the name of what's being defined with a specific marker color. That way I can easily skim through my notes when I'm looking for a certain definition. Switching to the Note/LectureNotes, I thought it'd be really cool if all my highlighted definitions would show up on one central page as bookmarks/links, making it even easier to find what I'm looking for.
Anyway, I should probably not be making feature requests before ever really having used the app.
Thanks for being such a responsive developer!
@The_Maverick: LectureNotes allows to attach keywords to notebook pages and creates a table of contents and an index from that (either for individual notebooks, for all notebooks in a folder, and for all notebooks on the notebooks board). This is the second part of the suggested functionality, the first part where highlighted material becomes a keyword is missing, you need to type the keyword manually.

Cool. Thanks for the help. I'm definitely looking forward to using LectureNotes. It's the biggest incentive for me to get the Note.
I mainly bought this for the great screen, multitasking, and the SD Card slot...but I must say that I have been surprisingly happy with the S-pen and all the functionality it brings! I wish I would have had this while in college.
I also wish the S-pen would work with my S3. The Note phones are all too big for me, so we'll see what the S5 will bring. I highly doubt it, but it'd be awesome if the S5 could use the S-pen too (even if it didn't come with one).
I used to think the Notes were too big, but after using one for awhile it seems rather normal. I think because they slimmed down the 3 a bit it's not bad.

LectureNotes is much more customizable. It's quite possibly the most perfect note taking app that exists anywhere, including Windows, Android, or iOS.
The ONLY thing I wish it had is the ability to add an expandable sticky note to either notes or PDF's I'm annotating.
@han solo
and maybe it would be great if the Lecture Notes UI would move somewhere near the Android HOLO conventions... been using Lecture Notes for a long time now and I still keep forgetting where which menu item is hiding.
Otherwise, good app.
@Ulukaii1983: I try to keep functionality organized in a meaningful way, but I am always open for specific suggestions (in fact, I have moved several menu items following user suggestions).
@acadoid:
Hey many thanks for your reply! Glad that you still find the time to read the opinions about your app.
If you don't mind, I would post some UI recommendations in your other thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1870639&page=167
... but I please give me a little bit time to make some valuable recommendations.
Hello, I am using the Note 2 LTE and the PRO 12.2 LTE. I am planning to buy either the Note 4 or the new Gear S. Sure the Note 2 and Note 4 are smaller than the PRO 12.2. The latter can do almost all the things that the Note 2 and 4 are capable of (can we upgrade the software of the PRO to the ones used in Note 4?). For me, the main use of the Note 4 and Gear S is: phone calls. I guess I can do it with the PRO using some kind of bluetooth headset. Of course, besides having a better camera, the Note 4 is better at photo taking because it is too heavy and difficult to press the photo taking button while holding the PRO 12.2.
I will buy a new MacBook Pro Retina 15". It will be too heavy to carry the laptop, the PRO 12.2 and the Note 4. I probably use the PRO 12.2 for pdf annotation, pdf viewing, note taking, video watching, etc. I may not carry the MacBook Pro 15" as often as I did in the past. I do need the Mac (Mac OS and Windows) for my research work though. The PRO cannot serve as a laptop replacement in my case.
Looking to pick up the Note 4 eventually though I'm not sure if I'll do so straight away. I still like my Nexus 4 w/ Mahdi ROM.
I'm not sure I want to pick up a Tizen based wearable. I just have this personal issue with entering into another platform and wonder what support there will be for it from application developers. Its just another consideration I'd have to make which may not exist as much on plain Android Wear devices. I'll most likely pick up a Moto 360 or LG's round watch though.
When I travel both my Note Pro and my rMBP come with me. I really don't mind the weight of carrying both at all and my use case simply doesn't support the Note Pro being a laptop replacement. My Note Pro is primarily for content consumption and web browsing. Note taking is secondary and productivity is a distant last. It's quite useful for email and whatnot but I can't get significant work done on it other than mild annotation of PDFs.
Probably not. I have a Note 3, the Note 4 feels like a step backwards. (Particularly if the EU gets the N910C with the Exynos. Rubbish.)
I'm a gamer and a designer, so I always carry my laptop(17.3" Asus N76VB) with me, as the NotePro is simply not capable of replacing it. Not because of the hardware, but mainly because of Android. (iOS won't help. Neither will Linux. And the Surface has an Intel HD, so not useful either.)
As such, my NotePro is my entertainment device. Films, magazines, comics, drawing, that sort of thing. My Note 3 serves as my go-to device for most things on the road, as well as an e-reader.
As for the Gear... I'm a Scifi fan. I didn't get stuck in 1960, and as such I will not be spending my money on tech with a 'retro' design. Not to mention, I want Android, no Tizen. Until it starts working and looking like this, I'm out.
Thanks for the warnings about the Gear. The Note PRO is more like a large screen device below 1kg that I could use on public transportation and while waiting for the foods in restaurants. For research work, I still need a laptop.
I don't know why, but I've always liked the idea of making phone calls with my watch, without the need of a smart phone nearby. The Gear S is the most interesting to me. As others have mentioned, the new OS is a bit of a concern. Not to mention how nice it plays with other devices, should I replace my Note 3. I'll be keeping a close watch after release to see how it does in the wild.
I may consider the Note 4 a few months after release once prices settle down, real world results are in, and the other manufactures have released competing devices. But for what it'll cost off contract (i.e. $700+), I hardly see a reason to hand over that kind of cash any time soon. And that's coming from somebody who frequently buys new gadgets way too often.
When it comes to smart watches and Android Wear what exactly is the draw to these devices?
I currently see them as wrist mounted notification panels cleverly disguised as watches LOL. What else am I missing?

James Bond.
That's hilariously the main reason people want one; because he wore it and that made it cool, and ever since they were kids a lot of people have wanted one to feel like they're a spy.
I'm not kidding, that was the reason they developed them (employed or not, the R&D lads are still geeks and nerds.(Aren't we all?)) and it's the main idea behind the marketing of them.
Better if it has a camera and a voice recorder.
The exciting thing about the note 4 release is the eventual release of the software enhancements that may trickle down to the other note products. The snap note feature for example or the improved floating window support.

Turnover is just too damn fast for me.
Hi Y´all!
Got my P905 pro 12.2. Got my N9005 N3. Don´t really need anything new in the months to come.
Anyway - As the title says. The turnover in this business IMHO is just too damn fast, at the very least for me, to continually keep buying the very latest.
I might just decide to get the Note5. But - on an entirely different matter - I recently found out that the 50 GB Dropbox that Samsung proudly keep advertising everytime they present a new flagship(ish) device is actually a bag of hot air if you bought another device before I knew you´d only get the 50 (48 actually) GB once. I.e. not 48 GB per device. But at the very least i´d be able to extend the 48 Gigs. But Noo - no.
So at the moment i actually consider Sony next time.

Understand the frustration there but the purpose of the promotion is to bring users to Dropbox that eventually get hooked into having to pay. In their eyes once you are hooked you shouldn't be allowed to continously increase your free capacity using the sane promotion. Every giveaway has loss built in so allowing concurrent application of them surely can't be sustainable in terms of profit margins. Like I said I hear you, this is my second note pro since I lost my first. .. sucks. .

It's 50GB per dropbox account, once. You can, however, simply make a new account on dropbox. (That's what I do. I currently have 5.)
That is not something Samsung chose to do. It's Dropbox's doing.

Hi!
Your argument makes perfect sense. On the other hand: Samsung gets a benefit by increasing the value of their product as well.
It therefore struck me as logical that there had to be some sort of deal between Samsung and Dropbox. I.e. so many $ to Dropbox each time a unit is sold. If Dropbox gets an income per unit, i´d assume (yes - i know what is said about those) they´d also have to provide a service per unit.
Damn those assumptions

LOL You're right! Sadly they're silent on the fact that you can't continually apply the credit. Perhaps its there in fine print somewhere and I'm just too excited at each product purchase to see it . . in any case I'll buy the Note 4 sometime before the end of the year and I'll lose the ability to take full advantage of that offer. Oh well . . .I'm not about to go through the hassle of using multiple dropbox accounts.
I wish Dropbox would match Google's pricing (I actually use both but reserve Google Drive for collaborating with others whereas Dropbox I use for myself and family) across the entire range of options. Would be nice to have a $2/mo 100GB option. I really don't need 1TB of space.
Back on topic though the Note 4 Edge looks interesting too. I'm concerned though that Samsung put the curved screen on the wrong product. Having never had a Note/Note 2/Note 3 I cant say for sure so I ask those of you who have - do you think its going to be hard to avoid touching the icons and menus on the curved edge while gripping the phone and doing other things?

Well - i´m left handed and use a bumper on my N3. Being somewhat of a klutz i have to protect my device. I couldn´t hold the N4E without almost constantly being in physical contact with the curved edge. The curved edge is on the right side of the phone and looks like an ergonomic nightmare for us "leftys".
For a right handed person your right thumb looks, to me, like the "intended digit". Then you´d have to hold the device between your other 4 fingers and the root of your thumb/edge of your palm. Seems to me it´d be very nearly impossible to avoid touching along the edge. This needs to be tested IRL the phone shape is IMHO just too special to extrapolate or assume (Insert scared whine here) anything.
Edit: And speaking of bumpers - will they even be possible?
Regards
ELO
Yeah my first impression of the edge was it's too bad the S5 didn't have a variant of that instead. The larger note size doesn't seem practical for the edge technology. Also it would be nice if earpiece speakers doubled as normal speakers, hard buttons on front were removed, microphones placed on all corners and an earpiece speaker on top and bottom. With this setup, use rotation sensor to detect orientation so that the proper earpiece gets sound when the phone is in use. Use proximity sensor to up speaker volume when paying media. It surprises me nobody does this, a phone that you can answer in either portrait orientation that also doesn't need speakers on the sides or back.

No thank you!
Not only will that cost us 10% screen space, it is also highly irritating if you use full-screen apps. The 'hide the notification bar' feature is already highly irritating. (Every time I try to bring it up in the middle of a video, the swipe is detected by the video player first and it changes the volume or brightness before opening the bar. UGH!)
I don't need more annoyances with on-screen buttons. The Nexus can keep those, cheers. Samsung made the decision to keep the hard buttons for a very well-considered list of reasons.
And no, they can't simply extend the screen. It's bound by aspect ratio. No, they can't add it as an additional bar on the screen either, it breaks the ratio in landscape mode.

All good reasons. I wonder if there's a way to get full use of the device in either orientation without those annoyances.
I was just curious to see peoples' work flow with this tablet. Are a lot of people rocking the note 3 or 4 to have s note and scrapbook sync on both devices? I ask because I was wanting to upgrade my current phone. Typically I go for a near vanilla andriod for my phone like a nexus or moto x, but now that I have this tablet I've been considering one of the notes. Would it be worth it? I see features like handwriting and multiwindows working much better on a 10 or 12 in screen vs a 5.7 in screen, so perhaps this is simply some ocd kicking in on my part.
Note 4. Just because. Lol. I don't use S note , I use papyrus, but they sync nicley
Note 3.
I've never touched S Note or Scrapbook. I use Evernote, Lecturenotes and Sketchbook Pro.
I came from a Nexus 4 and I'm now using a T-Mobile Note 4 on AT&T as my daily driver. Haven't rooted it yet but intend to once I sort out porting over my company phone number to my personal account (in the transition stage from company provided phones to a bring-your-own-mobile program). The Nexus 4 is now just for my work emails.
I've never gotten into S-Note and Scrapbook. I just don't find that I need them for my typical use case but I did play with scrapbook to see if things sync across via Samsung Account and they do. I would imagine S-Note through Evernote would sync too but I don't like jumping through hoops so I don't bother. I use Lecturenotes for all of my note taking now and I sync that to my Dropbox using Dropsync. I'm able to access my notebooks just fine on either device so thats great.
Note Pro has me spoiled when it comes to multiwindow support. IMO its just not very useful on the Note 4. Pop open two windows and then try to use a keyboard and its just a mess LOL . . I guess its fine for watching a video while surfing or something but I don't do that personally so . . meh . .
One thing I can say about the Note 4 is that having one makes me long for an update to S-Pen features on the Note Pro. Smart select and text selection features are fantastic and will make you think "Damn, this is how it should have been all along . . "

Can you sync papyrus the same way you can sync lecture notes (dropsync)?
It sounds like a lot of people do have note phones, but that it's strictly for the hardware. That makes sense, it is one of the fastest phones with the best screen year after year. But the software and multiwindow features seem less useful. Do you guys write much on your phones? I've gotten use to and enjoy writing on my tablet, but I think it would be a lot harder to do it on a phone where I wouldn't be able to rest my wrist anywhere.
It sounds like it might be best for me to start using something like lecture notes or papyrus, then load it on to whatever phone I get. That way I could do all my writing on my tablet, but be able to reference my notes from my phone still.
Sidenote, after reading your posts I started messing around with my apps for taking notes. I realized that with air command off, you can draw shapes and clip part of the screen, then share it to any app you wish. I like that a lot more than the scrapbook option through air command.

You probably can but I haven't been successful with it yet. Papyrus saves its data in a secure location that requires root access to get to it but from what I can tell Dropsync can't see it. I haven't spent any time trying to see if Dropsync can access root though . . I'm sure if there are other sync products out there that get root access then one could use that instead. Unfortunately while Papyrus supports Box and Dropbox it's only for file opening or saving type stuff and not for the storage of your entire notebook database. If it did that (allow you to select a path where all Papyrus data would reside in your Dropbox) that would be sweet.

Writing on the phone is challenging, I do it once in a while for quick text messages and whatnot but yeah I agree that without a place to rest my palm on there's no way to do extended writing sessions. Honestly though if I know I'm going to need to take notes in a meeting then my Note Pro comes with me. The Note 4 is more for availability of my stuff when I didn't anticipate the need of the tablet.

You don't have to turn off Air Command to do screen clipping; instead just click and hold the button on the stylus BEFORE you bring it near the screen, then bring the tip to the screen to draw a marquee around what you want to clip, let go of the stylus button once you're done and the selection popup window should appear.
