Upgraded from Note 2 w/Note 3 ROM - where's Pen Window? - T-Mobile Note 7 Questions & Answers

I've just upgraded from a Note 2 with a Note 3 ROM, and I absolutely loved Pen Window. It seems to have been replaced by the ability to pop up an existing window, which isn't the same thing - I really like the ability to be in the middle of logging into something, draw a window and say "start my password app there so I can quickly grab the password without switching context".
When did Pen Window go away, and can I get it back?

My guess is its kind of replaced by "glance"

I thought that might be it, but I can't actually *do* anything on the glanced-at application. Am I missing something?

please help
thanks in advance!
second that
I have been looking all over for an app like this, not confined to a single program on windows but working like any Wacom tablet.
If love that as well! Sounds like there's an business opportunity for an enterprising developer...

As long as you have the Tablet PC it could work.
The vice versa can also be truth - used to have HP TX2650 tablet, all I've got left now is the pen, which works perfectly on the note
Not possible without hardware modification to your computer monitor.
PRemoteDroid on the market, lets you connect your note to the PC via wifi.
it lets me use my galaxy note as a drawing tablet for the PC. its not the most accurate thing to use though, but its better than nothing.

You both misunderstand what the OP is asking for. He isn't asking to use the S-Pen to draw on a PC monitor, no, he is asking to use the Note as a digitizer tablet.
Using the Note as a digitizer tablet for a PC is certainly possible, but it requires quite a lot of work because one must code a complete virtual digitizer driver. Transferring data between the phone and the virtual driver is the simple part.
That said I think you'd be better off just buying a cheap digitizer tablet somewhere, the Note is too small to use comfortably like that.

come to think of it, you might be perfectly right, although the "use G-Notes stylus pen to draw on PC" is bit vague, anyway it would be a funny idea

Excellent! Please develop this further. This app would be ideal for drawing diagrams while in meetings and can take the things you can do with the Note to the next level.

I actually couldn't get it to work. There is no black screen on my computer when I run the client. Running the client on the computer just opens up a small window which detects the finger and shows the output in some numbers. When I write on the Note, I see the writing, but it closes the app in a couple of seconds. I have windows 7.
The app looks very promising.

App closes when orientation is changed. that's a bug. (just disable screen rotation)
about black screen on PC , its just some drawing application with black background. this small app on PC just forces cursor to move. and when you use stylus, it imitates mouse press. just open mspaint and try it.

Wow you should be on the xda homepage with this awesome program THANKS!
Hey dzjosjusuns! Any update on that? Would you consider making a Linux version of the server?
This is a really cool and useful feature
But unfortunately it's not working for me, i just tried to install it on my n7000
After i copied the apk file over to my phone, i tried to open it and got the 'Parsing Error: There is a problem parsing the package"
Do you think this might have something to do with it not being compatible with Gingerbread 2.3.6?
Sorry if it sounds like a bit of a dumb question but I'm a noob to all of this

Galaxy tab 2 No Pen Memo??

I just got a new gt-p3113

capacitive styluses work on my tab 2 10", i use one i bought long ago.
Yes I have a stylus and it works great on mine.
As far as notes, Evernote is hard to beat. I use it every day for work and have over 40 notes stored. I can get to them from the office, home, my gtab or my phone. Give it a try. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evernote&hl=en
To answer the original thread, yes there is a pen memo. The keyboard is smaller so just laid out slightly different. To find it, open memo, start a new memo and act like you're going to type something to bring up the keyboard. Then hit the 123 button to activate the numeric and symbol keyboard and in the lower right you will see the capital T with the pen on it. HIt that, and you go into pen memo (handwriting) mode.

You're talking about "T Memo" on the p3113? Version 1.0? With the Samsung keyboard? I don't have the "T" to bring up handwriting mode. I'm running a custom ROM so I may not have the stock/current version of the app.
Try note everything, catch, evernote or handrite free from google play
Or try ported supernote app from asus work in our tab

[Q] Couple of Questions

I've used the S5 and figured out how to disable the magazine app, well, the S6 has a similar feature that uses Flipboard. I haven't been able to figure out how to disable.
Also, I have NO IDEA how to create a folder in the App Drawer.

Dunno about about the folders but you can hide (but maybe not disable) the Flipboard screen by unchecking its box in the "rearrange home screens" mode.

Yeah, I did that, and you can do that, but, there's no wrap-around feature; Basically you will have no screens if you swipe left once you hide it.

While the wrap around effect is long gone in TouchWiz, it is still implemented on most third party launchers. And call me crazy, but someone with so much experience should know how to simply add new pages and reassign the home page.

I wasn't asking how to rearrange home screens. The feature is alive and well in the 4. Don't see any benefit to removing it, but you're not really here for help or a discussion. Just to be argumentative and condescending.
Just pointing out something...the iPhone home screen doesn't wrap either, so it would do no good for them to get one for that feature. ...

Screen Write Problem: Cannot get back to annotated screen if switching to another app

I am having a problem with my Note 5 on Verizon and want to see if anyone else is having the same issue. if you pick up the stylus and choose Screen Write, and then switch to another application, there is no way to get back to your annotated screen earlier. Can anyone confirm that this is the case. Samsung support says it works fine.
I can't do it either, not without multi window.

So does anyone know how to fix it? That is kind of a problem particularly when the Note 5 is for taking notes..... Otherwise what is the point??
Scratch that, can't do it with multi window either.
I did it. I opened chrome, pulled out the same s-pen, and started screen write. Then using lmt launcher I opened messages. Using the back button to get out of messages took me back to chrome with the screen write still active.
I think the problem is once the screen is cleared which happens when choosing recents or going to the app drawer, screen write gets cancelled.

No because that requires clearing the screen, which clears screen write.
Just save it in the Gallery. You can open the Gallery and annnotate til your hearts content. The Gallery is Multi View so you can reference other apps at the same time if you want to. I use Screen Write to capture something interesting for business or funny/cute to share with friends. The former I save in folders in Scrapbook and the latter I MMS or e-mail. So for me it's not broken.

If you save it to the galery, and you write and have to switch again, then you still lose the contents. It seems to me more like a bug rather than a feature particularly when that is supposed to be the purpose of using it for annotation.
My plan was to use this for feature for meetings. You are going over the agenda etc. and then you want to take notes on top of an existing document and then save it or share it to Evernote etc.
I use S Note for everything you described. That's what it's designed for. Screen Write is for quickly capturing and annotating something. It's not even a persistent app which is why it goes away when it loses focus. And what difference does it make if you annotate<>save or save <>annotate?

N950N Review

Since my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 N910C had been starting to develop issues, while I am in Hong Kong. Which was probably due to the latest OS updates. Or it could be due to the fact that my N910C doesn't support the use of LTE-A bands, which HK Cell Providers are starting to adopt. I decided to upgrade to the Note 8. I managed to find the Korean N950N model with 256GB of internal storage for an excellent price. The only catch was that they only had it in Deep Sea Blue and they didn't know when they would get the Midnight Black version back in stock. I bite the bullet and got it. The shop owner was nice enough to give me a slight discount. He also installed a case friendly screen protector that didn't work very well with the Spigen Tough Armor. It is not too much of a problem. Just that the part that protects the sensors pop loose from time to time. I am amaze at how fast the Note 8 running, it can handle anything I throw it's way like it was nothing. The placement of the fingerprint scanner isn't as bad as I thought it would be. The iris scanner is pretty good when I have my Note 8 positioned properly. I was able to transfer everything(except my UK Whatsapp account) from my N910C to my N950N using Smartswitch , which was incredible. The Secure Folder is useful for storing my personal files and apps, I managed to put my UK Whatsapp number in there.
The only downside is that some of the old S Note features are now gone! I can no longer take a picture and have it converted into an editable document like in my N910C. Which was a very useful feature, I guess that Samsung must have removed it.
You can install the old S Note app, search for it
Hello,
How much does it cost?
The s note app? it is free

Tried it. But even that doesn't have the photo note function. Which is strange as the S Note app on my N910C has been updated to the latest version, and it still has the photo note function.
After installing the Oreo update. I noticed that one of my games Texas Hold'em Poker 3 no longer takes up the full screen when it loads. Even if I have the game set to fit the entire screen. Other than that everything looks the same. Except the Settings Menu has been brought up to the S9S series GUI. There maybe some performance increase but I didn't notice any.
Still rocking my N950N. Even after the release of the N960N. My N950N is still a beast. The camera quality is excellent despite being a single aperture lens.
Just installed the Android Pie update for my N950N. I have noticed that when my device boots up it takes a few seconds longer for the keyboard to appear for me to enter my password. Besides that everythings seems pretty snappy. I am not fond of the One UI. I prefer Samsung UI, which came with Nougat and Oreo. One UI seems way too cartoony. The buttons and icons for all the Samsung apps seem to be designed with kids in mind. I like that you can just use swipe gestures to navigate the device, which eliminates the need for navigation buttons.
I have also discovered that the game launcher doesn't include the stretch to full screen option anymore, which is a shame as that worked fir stretching games to full the display very well. Figured out how to fix this problem in the Settings Menu.
Just discovered that you can no longer disable Bixby once you have installed the Pie update onto the Note 8. :crying::crying:

But you can now remap the button to any app you want.
Now there is a option for a single press and a double press.
Just got the Bixby update.
edit.
Know I have Google search open up when I single press instead of Bixby and if I want Bixby double press.
But holding down the Bixby button will bring up Bixby voice command.
Have you tried a third party app to disable it?

Go to Bixby voice settings and tap on voice wake up. It's there, look at my previous post with screenshots you can set the option.
If not there update Bixby.
Now the feature does it like Google style with voice unlock. Meaning it just unlocks when you say "Hi Bixby" without asking you for a voice password.
