Just thought I'd point people to this app I found in the market:
https://market.android.com/details?...?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm5sLmZhbWVpdC5yb3RhdGUiXQ..
My case (Like most of them) positions the Tab upside down in the "typing angle" mode, which I found frustrating because some apps override the auto rotation and put themselves in Landscape mode, which makes them upside down when using the case. This app is the only one I found that will force any app into any orientation, so it overcomes the issue.
The only problem is if you set it to Forced auto mode, some apps that are designed to run in portrait mode will be forced into landscape mode. This can be useful for some apps, but some will not be happy and either be unusable to crash.
I have nothing to do with this app but found it useful.
Updates:
Note: This is a 7 day free trial but then you need to pay for the license app.
I did suggest the developer add an app-specific setting so you could exclude apps that don't run well with auto forced rotation or just enable it on those apps that need it. He added the ability to use it with Tasker as a way to do this. I haven't used Tasker so I can't say how well it works. It would be nicer if this was built into the app but at least it's an option for those using/willing to use Tasker.
Another paid app I noticed that seems to work similarly is:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...S5jb2luc29mdC5hbmRyb2lkLm9yaWVudGNvbnRyb2wiXQ..
I haven't tried that one so I can't personally recommend it but based on the comments it seems to work similarly. Slightly cheaper but no trial period.
Finally, blindbox found this one, which is free:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wxLDEsInJ1YmJlcmJpZ3BlcHBlci5PcmllbnRhdG9yIl0.
I tried it and it does work but it places a floating button on the screen (not in the notification area) which you can use to toggle forced portrait or reverse X/Y (as an option in the settings) - press once to force, long press to disable. I don't like how it works compared to Ultimate Rotate Control, but it is free so give it a shot to see if it's adequate for you.
Nice find.
awesome!
Works great!! perfect for minimalistic text and myalbum..
Should be on roms!
GREAT, nice find!

You might want to put in the OP that this is a 7-day trial; this is one of those annoying apps that requires two apps if you buy it (one for the app and one for the license). BTW-if the dev does read this: This tactic of making a trial app look like a full free app and burying the "7-day trial" language at the bottom of the description is a bit of a bait and switch. You'll lose as many customers as you'll make.

Has anyone found another app that can do this? I have the Samsung book cover case and Gameloft along with some of my other apps will not rotate upside down. I am thumbing through some apps now seeing if they work.
Try an app called 'Display orientator'. forgot the name of the guy who made it but it's free and it's on the market. Name os exactly the same as the one in the quotes.
Oh, too lazy to edit but anyway, the guy who made ot is rubberbigpepper
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

For that purpose I think EzPdf is way better than S-Note, at least if you want to make a workflow of annotated pdf's.

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....

You can use the pen to highlight or underline, but no sticky notes. You can however create a text box and write in any notes, but that's as close as you can get.

How do you highlight?

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. Don't want to get locked into s note or lecture notes for the actual storage - just looking for advice on the best way to recognise handwriting, capture info etc, and sync seemlessly into Evernote.
any thoughts?
Is there any way in S Note to do a vertical page to imitate a sheet of paper like lecture notes can?

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.
Hey folks,
the first week with my new G Watch is over and im still impressed of the simple daily usefulness of it.
I´m kinda an early adopter and do like the freaky stuff as well (of course i had to try Flopsy Droid and so on...) but the potential in daily usage is huge I guess!
Every day a few new thoughts came to my mind, what feature I would love to have and what modification would be useful.
So I wrote some down and I think, I´m not alone with this, am I? ?
So here is my list and I will update it regularly. What ideas do u all have when using the G Watch?
Hopefully some modder, programmers or GoogleGuys get lost here :angel:
Google / System / gApps:
Maps:
- Proximity warning/information for Google locations (vibration if a friend is in a specified radius around me)
- Show small map with friend location….
- simple function: showing a map with my position on it….
gMail-App:
- Button for Deleting email
- Button for Subject and/or Text when answering or composing
- Possibility to scroll through email headers (like calendar) and open them up for reading
Settings:
- Vibration setting (duration, intensitiy, etc. depending on event
- Free choosable Apps i.e. for weather forecast etc.
Voice commands:
- “Where is contact.name?” (Shows a little map and the distance to this person)
- “Lights on” (start flashlight app or (later hardware versions…) LED)
- “Hangout to contact.name: xyz” / “Whatsapp to contact.name: xyz / and so on...
- possible to dictate punctiuation marks in german as well.. my god… cant be so hard if implemented in english for a LONG time now….
App Ideas / Wishes:
Speedometer for Cycling etc (already partly realized with "Speedometer")
WhatsApp !! Whats taking so long?
News / Headlines (App that just shows Headlines of ie. RSS feeds, with a touch you can read the whole story on the watch
App that can record Voice commands and open a specific APP for this command (on watch or phone)
Remote control apps (like for samsung TVs) should work with WEAR.. so i can switch channels and so on with my watch
Hardware: (my G Watch 2 should have...)
One or even 2 cameras, for selfies etc.
brigthnessensor for autom. display illumination
little speaker ( just for plings, alarm clock, etc)
LED for flashlight and for status messages
infrared for using it as remote control

Doesn't it already work like that? If I have multiple emails I only see the header and the first line and when I click on the the whole thing opens for reading.

Just disable the weather card in google now and use your own favorite forecast app. This works perfectly already. But maybe I don't quite get what you mean here ^^

That's about my thoughts
For catching bus every day, I needed better than minute resolution without the need to twist my wrist - and this is an watch face I came up with: Everyday.
The current version updates the time even in ambient mode every 20 seconds and it doesn't seem to have almost any noticeable effect on my battery. I usually end up with 65% when returning home from work and it is the same with this watch face.
So far the face is tailored a lot to my taste and preferences (black and white, 24 hour mode, date format etc) and it's not configurable. I might continue to experiment with more frequent updates.
Am I the only one who needs seconds in ambient?
Perfect! Thank you! :good:
This is exactly what I was looking for.
Using it with Sony Smartwatch 3.
Does not work
I get an error messsage: "Error: null" when trying to select background picture. How can I transfer the app from my phone to android smartwatch?
If anyone cares, here's the new successor watch face "Just Time" (for Android Wear 2.0+) I created. "Everyday Watch Face" will no longer be updated. Most of the functionality is there plus it handles complications (up to 2 long texts). Native wallpaper support was replaced with support for large background complications. One missing feature is support for custom fonts (TTF). There are also no configurable colors. Let me know if it's something you'd want to use.
It's still free, available from Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brouken.wear.face.justtime

I'm afraid I can't include it directly in the watch face as Product Sans license doesn't allow that. I count it as a request towards custom TTF.
I've been looking all around for a face for my Fit2 that had time, whether, and date. I can't seem to find one anywhere. This seems like common things people would want. Am I just missing something?
If you're looking to display current weather + date I've only seen one "All in one: Fit"
Almost the entirety of watch faces are made with Samsung Gear Designer program that doesn't allow weather data to be displayed.
Two other options for you:
- The new weather app (available from the Essentials tab of the store) has added a weather widget (the swipe right widgets like floors, water etc.)
- Many watch faces, including most of mine, have date + link to weather app (for example Active Life [12 mile] By TM)

Fitness Battery Pro has weather on the watch face but it really eats the battery.
loads of watch faces on here
Google +
hope it helps
Yeah, most of the faces that advertise weather are simply a link to the weather app. Thanks talmarsh for the tip about "All in one: Fit", that one looks nice and I really like the level of customization supported.
The recent firmware update that came out after the Fit 2 Pro includes a few new built-in faces. Two of those, "Fitness Pro 1" and "Fitness Pro 3", include the current weather.
But also there is "Weather Fit Watch". It's not free but it's very well done, showing current weather as well as forecasts. That's my pick for a weather watch face.
I've been using Fitness Pro 3 since it gives the most data and weather. too bad it doesn's display battery % until you hit 15% or less.
I wish there were more that displayed the actual temperature instead of a link
