anyone else get the white overlay/watermark while trying to draw on a picture? and if so how do i disable it?
This is because you aren't actually drawing on the picture. If you notice the animation flips the picture over. This is a rather gimmicky feature that resembles turning over a hard copy of a photo where you right on the back, like the occasion etc.
To actually draw on the image you would need a photo editing program, or a cheap way of doing so would be to open up your photo in fullscreen, take a screenshot of it by using the S Pen, hold the button and tap the screen then hold it until it flashes a screenshot, then draw on this screenshot.
After that you'll have to get some suggestions on apps to use to just straight up draw on the image.
Another way to do it is to open SNote and add the picture as a background image.
verizon removed the "samsung apps" app from the phone. however, you can search for the apk file for samsung's "photo editor" (which SHOULD have been included on the phone in the first place). it's not the best photo editing software, but it does allow very easy cuting and inserting (from clipboard) type of editing on photos. i downloaded it the other night and it works real well for what writing on pics, cutting pieces out of pics, or even cut and paste type of photo editing (like cutting my head out of a pic and putting it on Mr. T's body.....not that i did that or anything). no root needed to just load the apk. fyi....i don't believe our device is actually listed as a supported device, but i can verify that it works just fine.

I use sketchbook mobile. Theres also photoshop mobile I havent used. I think photoshop mobile is more the effects/filters side and sketch book has brushes, colors ,flow, opacity, and allows you to load pictures. You can draw directly on the picture or make layers and export as a. Jpeg .png or .psd.

Photoshop Touch is annoying (mostly because it's hard to find anything). In order to save something, you have to save it as a project then save the project as an image.

If it was any variant besides verizon, he was likely using the samsung photo editor, which, again, SHOULD have been on our phone.

This site has already made sized wallpaper for the note with good quality. It takes a load off of some people by having to resize.
Click on the image, then go to other resolution, under mobile you should see 800x1280 click then download! It fits the note perfect!
Enjoy
Wow. Awesome, thanks.

I don't see a setting for 800x1280 on any of the images. Just 1280x800. Big difference. Are you choosing resize? Do you mean to click on the image twice from the main page? Or once from the gallery, then choose the resolution from the dropdown menu?
Because i don't see it at all...and I've looked at a dozen different images.

all the difference? lets say the wallpaper features something where orientation matters (not a pattern) for example, then it would look retarded to have lets say, a building, flipped sideways since most ppl and most launchers, are used in portrait mode.

I think a lot of people are using the phone in landscape, I know I am, and so this works for me.
But I do realize this is a problem for portrait.
Recent images are not sized for the note untill a week later! But go into catagory and you good to go.

Most people use their phone as a phone in portrait mode. The only time i go intimately landscape is when im in an app.
If you use a 1280x800 wallpaper, it will either be pixelated, or will have black bars on the top and bottom in portrait mode.
The use case for landscape mostly consists of games, video, or browsing. All cases where your not in the launcher. But when youre initiating a phone call, text message, or other phonely activities...you generally dont want to have to use two hands.
If its a pattern you can rotate it, and then apply it. But most cool wallpapers arent orientation neutral.
To get the 800x1280 wallpapers:
1. Click on a category. Ex. 3D
2. Click on mobile
3. There is no option for 800x1280, so on the end of the url add "/800x1280"
It will show all the wallpapers with 800x1280 resolution in that category now.

I love car wallpapers, but seriously, 30 pages of Acuras?
I seem to be missing the stock photo editor icon and the ability to use it. On my phone I cannot locate the icon. However, when I go into setting, applications, manage applications, all, the icon is there. When I click on it, it is basically blacked out from me doing anything. See photo. I am rooted on stock ROM, but it was never there for my use. Any idea what is up? If for some reason I cannot use the application, can I re-install it? Is there a better application you recommend for simple photo editing?
when you select a photo in the gallery then select more and select edit you will then be using photo editor,for some reason it's not in the app drawer though.
On my Galaxy S2 it was in the application drawer. Just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something.

Missing apps?
I was editing a photo, then had to look at something else on the phone and moved from the editor display. It doesn't show holding home as last used app.
Can you continue editing/reedit a photo once saved?
Also it seems we are missing the video editor. I looked at a few video reviews, it seem the international note has these icons in the app drawer, but we don't..

I just figured out today that the att version does not have all of this great software we have been led to believe it does. I still love the phone but I'm a little pissed about it and I am looking for ways to strike back.
When you've on a photo, click menu> share>photo editor.
Took me a while to figure it out. Sometimes it doesn't show when you're looking at a photo from the gallery, but when you click the view finder from the camera, it works all the time.

If you saved it, then it created a copy of the edited photo on your SD Card and you can get to it through the Gallery. It would have created a folder called PhotoEditor or Edited or something.

Thanks, I knew about that one. But what if I haven't saved yet and it's still being edited but I hit the home button or answered a call during the edit? How do I get back to the current picture?
What I did was snap the same picture again to edit, it then took me back to the one I was editing, saved it and replaced it with the new snap. But I couldn't normally get back to the app and I could not continue editing the one I was already working on... lol... sigh
You know you hold home key and it lists the last apps, multi task to switch back? It doesn't show photo editor, but you can go into the task manager and it shows it's running, but you can't click/touch to bring it up.
Gotcha...I have no idea then. Sorry I can't help you more.

Why is it when you try to use a picture you have taken on the phone as a wallpaper it makes you crop it and then stretches it to make it fit the screen? Why doesn't it show just like you are looking at it? I have tried resizing with no luck. Any suggesstions?
Do u mean scrollable? Bc it has to stretch to fit the screen. Otherwise there would be black on the sides. Idk if picspeed wallpaper apk did it or it was there previously, but there's a custom option that doesn't mess with the pic size as much.
This picture for example. You see how at first the whole picture is displayed but the crop area only allows at the most, half the picture to be displayed.

No, I didn't, but I wish I did lol. Saw it on some chan site and used it as my wallpaper. Pretty funny in a cute way.
So I noticed on my note 3 that S-Notes is way better than it was on the Galaxy note 10.1 and Galaxy Note II. There are more useful templates and more useful features (mainly, syncing with more services like dropbox and evernote).
As people get more experience, can anyone tell me which service they prefer? I'm split because I prefer LectureNotes for its power and the Cornell Note-taking template. But the S-note app is better integrated into touchwiz and has more powerful options now with automatic evernote and dropbox syncing.
For me i think it will be down to the S-note's ability to flawlessly import pdf's and annotate it

what do you mean when you say annotate, because honestly lecturenotes does it flawlessly. you can import and then write on it, type on it, draw on it, insert pictures on it, basically everything you can do on a normal blank paper.

i've never used the widget before, but i'm going to fix that right now and fill you in.
ok:
i'm just assuming here but still; i'm gonna assume that S-note has a widget where if placed on a homescreen you can simply type in without opening the app itself. lecturenotes from the few tests i just made can't do that. you can either have a "widget" (really an app icon) that can open to a particular page that you specify or you can have one that just opens lecturenotes, i see nothing that would allow you to edit without opening the app itself. definitely not something worth dedicating a homescreen to....

I got frustrated with S Note and ditched it. I'm using Lecture notes now and really like it. The main thing that killed S Note for me was the way the notes were organized. Felt very cumbersome and non-intuitive. I wish they had left the UI for browsing folders and notebooks the same. Or maybe I just had too much trouble transferring my old notes into it.
Anyways I was wondering if anyone knew how to quickly expend a single page in lecture notes. I know I can go into the settings and change it that way, but I'd like to be able to do it on the fly and on a page by page basis instead of a global modification of the page length.

I'd imagine you just select the marker tip with whatever color, then change the opacity between 10% and 40%. Whatever you're comfortable with. At least that's how I had done it in the old 10.1 model.

to expend a page? you wanna know how to quickly use up a page? don't understand what you're asking but i'll cover a few bases.
to quickly add a page click the "+" on the top right or if you're using a keyboard just press the down arrow.
to delete a page you click onto the page and open menu and delete it from there. deleting isn't as simple as adding unfortunately..
@ChrisNee1988: There is no built-in highlighter, as tastes concerning highlighters differ widely. As described by gina$zanboti, you can make one of the custom pencils to act as a highlighter, choose your favorite color and width, an intermediate alpha, and enable `draws behind other colors´. To quickly change to the highlighter, you can show the pencil toolbox (select `Show pencil toolbox´ in the `pencil´ menu, can be moved around by click-and-hold and setup in the app's tools settings; a single click on a pencil sets the pencil and a double-click on a custom pencil brings up the custom pencil settings) or assign it to your stylus button (in case your stylus has a button).
@gina$zanboti: I am not entirely sure whether I understand correctly. LectureNotes' pages have a fixed size.
Does LectureNotes have handwriting to text conversion? I have been using MyScript Notes Mobile which does do this but it begins to get laggy after 2-3 pages in terms of the screen delay from writing to on screen. When I used LN, it's near instant which is awesome and I really like it overall but converting to text is really big as I export QC scripts a lot.
My problem with snote is that importing removes searchable test which is a big no-no for me. Otherwise I'd probably use it. I am using it for free hand notes and like it for that.
@TheBigSaxon: There is no handwriting recognition in LectureNotes, but there are several soft keyboards that provide this functionality (meaning that you write with stylus and the keyboard app does as if you typed it).
tstsubi the
So, if your main storage for notes is Evernote, what is recommended as the front end for capture of notes, including handwriting recognition.

Yes, there is a portrait template of ruled paper. Or you can use the default landscape ruled paper template, and then just rotate the tablet into portrait mode and it should rotate the page as well.

Here is my 2 cents in using snotes and others working with pdfs
Things I like about snote:
Keeps the use of pressure sensitivity. This is something very special about our spens and I like the feel. I want to keep it when I'm writing.
This might sound stupid but this makes the writing feel the most realistic and not so machine like.
Once I'm in the editing mode I stay in the editing mode. Unlike ezpdf and lecturenotes where I have to hit the pen to start writing again and hand/back to scroll. I found this really annoying. For people annotating it may not be an issue but if you're actually taking notes and such it's a pain.
All the other special tricks with spen work in snotes well because it was made for it.
Negatives:
It has to import pdfs...This was the worst. It can't just open it as a pdf and start editing. Probably creating image type files. Not sure how lecturenotes imports pdfs because it's not available for the trial version. I imported a 200+ page pdf and it took longer than expected but now that
I have an expected time frame I may be able to deal with it.
Since it's not keeping the integrity of the pdf it can screw up some things while importing.
I'm a math guy and it screwed up a few notations here and there.
Scrolling...call me lazy but continuous scrolling is beautiful. Although I didn't like the fact that you can't be in between pages in ezpdf. While scrolling and you let go the page will automatically place itself so you see either the previous page or next page on the screen (depending on how far you let the split go past the screen).
Snote's scrolling is swipe or hit arrow right at bottom of screen. Swipe right is too slow. Animations are nice but unnecessary when turning the page. I usually like keeping the writing area in the middle of the screen. Also a reason why I want to be able to put the bottom of the page in the middle. But my hand being in the middle i think its annoying to go down to hit the right arrow. Just me being an annoying *****.
Hope this helps someone out there. =)
Edit: realized I was missing the add on to import pdfs for lecturenotes.
With short use it has a lot that I wanted. Now I dont know what I should use...
Edit 2 played with settings and im purchasing it now
@aznxkpx88: There is no need to alternate between `pencil´ and `hand´ mode in LectureNotes: You can scroll/zoom outside the `hand´ mode if you enable `allow two fingers scrolling/zooming´ in the app's input settings. Since you seem to use an S-pen (in which case you should enable `use stylus (hardware detection)´), you can also enable `allow one finger scrolling´ and scroll with one finger.
The constrain on the maximal number of pages per notebook in the trial version applies also to PDF imports.
hello, i am looking for an application using the spen for my work. to be able for example to have the choice to make a square or another shape with straight lines, from point A to point B and then continue to draw inside or outside with the spen. A style of technical drawing applications that mixes linear and freehand pencil aspects.
