I want to know if anyone take notes with your transformer. And i need an opinion about a good cheap capacitive pen, and a good app tu take these notes. Thank you all.
PS- I live in Portugal. If I were to buy online I would prefer buying at least inside the EU.
I'm using the classic pen from www.adonit.net. It's a wonderful pen for only 20 dollars. It's super acurate and works wonders.
As for the app i use, I use a couple diffrent ones. I find that when i need to type something, like review questions for a quiz, Kingsoft Office works wonders.

As for notes with the pen and such, I use WritePad.

There's also another app called antipaper, but I dont't have the pro version of that. If you need screen shots I can post some later. Otherwise check out the Adonit Jot thread for screens of diffrent not taking apps, and the pen it's self.
i just use the built in one called supernote. You can type fine as well as handwrite and add anotations such as diagrams. been using it now for about 4 months with no issue
I'm taking a lot of notes.
It's not easy, far from writing on paper, yet dooable and saves you a lot of time and strugle with sheets of paper and notebooks.
Cheap styluses - are very bad, don't buy them.
Adonit Jot - better for writing.
A tablet with digitizer stylus will be probably a much better choice for taking handwritten notes (although I'm not sure if accuracy of those kind of styluses is enough for easy writing).
Hi!
Thanks a lot all the answers. I see that this Adonit Jot is the way to go. Another thing, when I write on paper, e usually do a lot of pressure, if I accidentally put to much pressure writing can I wreck the screen/pen? Thanks again.

Please do additional research on the Jot before you purchase it. Read the entire thread from start to finish than google it and read others opinions. There is a lot of problems with skipping but than again alot of people have no issues with it. I guess the luck of the draw.
I do a lot of handwriting each day for work and i tried the jot but had issues so i returned it- it wasn;t for me- I went back to my cheap Acase II stylus purchased on Ebay $9.95 delivered. And it works the best. One thing to do when you use a rubber tip stylus is to clean your screen than coat it with RainX and you will have no binding of the rubber tip stylus. And minimal fingerprints- will need to recoat once a month.
I use Antipaper, Supernote and Genial writer, Another one which is new but will be good is Phatpad- this one needs some improvement but keep watching for additional updates before you purchase it.
Good luck.
Edit: I forgot to mention this beta app i just started using- 7Notes handwriting recongnition works great so far- also works with evernote

Thanks a lot for your opinion. Just one thing, what is this RainX coating? I'm not sure I´ve understood what it does. About the App, i've been playing with supernote, and it isn't the type of App I was looking for. My idea is an App with Blank pages where I can copy things from de board in class, just like a normal printer paper. Thanks again!

You can find Rainx in any auto section of any store. It is a wax'ish coating that you apply to glass. ( you can not put it over a screen protector- only use if you don't use a screen protector.) I have been using it for well over a year on a few devices and it works great. really cuts down on fingerprints and makes your stylus smoothly work on the screen,
For your note taking are you looking to draw diagrams along with notes or just notes. If just notes than genial writer is the smoothest note taker. but if you need to draw diagrams etc than some of the others listed. What problems do you have with supernote- maybe we can help.
Thanks for the info. I need to take notes and also draw some circuits and graphs. My problem with Supernote is that I've never used it before =P, but now I think I can make it work for what I want. Thanks!
Skipping is easy to fix with conductive grease (or toothpaste). I just did second test after a few weeks of first applying the toothpaste - I had to replace the toothpaste because it dried out but after that the writing is without skipping and doesn't require any force again. (coductive grease wouldn't require replacing so often).

Thanks for recommending this app, absolutely superb. No other app to date can match the accuracy of this app.

It's actually a silicone polymer...

EDIT: Just to be on-topic - I am still waiting to receive my Estylo .1.1 from Kickstarter (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/plai-tv/estylo-11-magnetic-dual-tip-capacitive-stylus-for). I'll let you know how it turns out!
I use saliva to make the Jot better . I'll possibly come back to add pics of my notes.
I use supernote although it does FC sometimes
7-note is pretty slick if all you are doing is text. Doesn't seem like there is a good way to sketch pictures.
i keep going back to ezpdf for my note taking needs.
I'm liking SuperNote. I'm not sure where it came from. Is it in the ICS rom?

Hand on touch screen
awesome thread. i was actually looking for something like this but i got other question. when you get the stylus do you have to keep your hand of the touch screen? when you're writing on paper your pen just follow your hand but on touchscreen it might be tricky right?this is software thing for sure. So finally my question can some of the apps you mentioned handle this? That is just recognize the "sharp" stylus and not your "huge" hand?
I used to have trouble with it, but I just write like I would "properly" or as a Chinese calligraphy thingie.
Hand on touch screen
ok never mind. found it. http://www.xda-developers.com/android/writepad-handwriting-optimised-for-stylus-beta-testers-required/
Hi everyone, this is a bit of a weird question but I'm sure it's one that's crossed everyone's mind at some point.
Does anyone know if it's possible to remove the Samsung logo on the bezel of the tab. It's Purley for aesthetic reasons to make it look that little bit neater.
Running your finger over it it doesn't feel like a sticker, perhaps it's painted on? Any ideas? Or has anyone done I already!

Use a exact same background color sticker?

I was thinking a strip of black electrical tape...
It's really not an issue for me. I also have a Verizon logo in the upper right of the bezel. I usually focus on what is on the screen, so I don't usually notice the logos.
dude i found one article on lifehacker, maybe this could help u!

I loved, and still live my MXPE camera. This one seems a little lackluster comparatively. Any found a setting that needs tweaked? It seems very software related.
I haven't had any issues, I miss the old layout but I changed the option from shutter button to tap anywhere and it feels better.
Aside from redoing a point and click to help adjust light, no, haven't discovered any big tricks yet. Pro mode doesn't add all that much. Related to camera, anyone get scratching on cams lens? I had it for two days and kept in soft sunglasses case, and already it's covered in microscratches, my note 4 has been abused for a while now and has zero, little disconcerting

Mid-light seems to cause real dramas for the Moto Z camera. Bright or low light no problems but there's some terrible shutter lag in mid-light. It can be easily overcome by going into Pro mode and increasing the shutter speed (at the expensive of added noise) but it's a shame it's not been turned to this setting out of the box.

The same story here, after 2 days of careful usage, I noticed two scratches on the camera glass that's supposed to be made of gorilla glass 4, the best way I found to deal with it is to put a dbrand skin on it, costs just 99 cents, it just arrived today. Another thing about the camera, is it just me, or it seems slow to react to movement, like when in the camera app you move the phone and the image on the screen moves real slow a second later, like back in the day on cheap Chinese no brand phones:laugh:, doesn't happen all the time though, hard to say what the reason for this behavior might be.

That "slow to react" thing is the image stabilization catching up, can be worse sometimes than others. And I would get a protector for my lens if it didn't create a whole other layer of light refracting scratches. This lens is like putting little tike wheels on a sports car, totally embarassing in design and kinda unacceptable

Then there's this, Not happy with how easily the lens scratches. I don't abuse my devices...
So baby that thang if you want the camera below the crappy shield to work

I can't get side sense to work. False registering, but not when I actually want to use it
How do you split screen without side sense?
Ok I figured it out , long press on an app icon, then select split screen
Disabled immediately on both XZ3 and X1. Useless in my opinion but I'm sure some users will find it useful.
I think you can choose sensitivity
Enviado desde mi G8141 mediante Tapatalk
It takes sometime to get used to. I've been using it since XZ3 and I found slide to back is so much easier compared to reaching for LLHC during one-handed operation.
It's a lot better on the X1 compared to the XZ3. Turned it on again and it's actually pretty useful.
Slide to back is quite useful. Once you get a hang of it, it works great.

Can't be used if you use a phone case right? Or can you still reach the screen edges on a usable way?

Works with my case.
Sent from my J8110 using Tapatalk
I have more difficulty when the case is put on.
Once i remove the case, it is more easier to activate the side sense.
i can't pass the tutorial. sliding up or down doesn't work for me. I disabled side sense.
I am very sad.
I bought CC9 pro. Then I bought Mi 10.
The graphic design programs I use do not work on the screen edges.
No Sensitivity.
Something is blocking.
Curved edges are detected a few ms late.
Edges (Curved region) do not work well. Sensing sensitivity is variable according to the direction of movement.
Free screen please.
A setting please.
game Turbo mode on the curved edges, does not work, does not solve the problem.
Nobody cares.
There is no phone left for 15 years. I don't want such a problem.
Stop limiting screen sensitivity.

Hi
I believe there are settings on the phone to adjust the edge sensitivity. Have you tried this?
let us know, my MI-10 is due on thursday
Thanks
Z
Anyone else can confirm if this is an issue or not?
This is not an issue.
You can adjust the sensitivity of the edge area in the settings, just like @zetex said.
Options are "Standard (recommended)", "Big area", "Small area" and even "User defined".
No complains here
No problem for me, and I have it on the recommended edge settings
