Hey everyone, I just picked this tablet up to bring to job sites with me. I install glass shower doors so I'm always drawing pictures (I attached one) to send off to the manufacturers for quotes. Instead of drawing them on paper and then going back and re-drawing on the computer to send over, I want to just draw them on the tablet and shoot off the email right from where ever I am.
I know coming from the tablet they won't be exactly the same as what I have attached, but I'm just looking for similar. Anyone know of a good app that may come in handy for me? The reason I went to the Samsung was because of the stylus, and I can lean your hand on the screen while drawing for better accuracy.
I also like Evernote's cloud based system where you can login from any phone/desktop/tablet and have access to all of your data. Seems like a great platform and I may end up using it, but I'm just looking for other options at this point.
It doesn't matter if it's a free or paid app, if it does what I want it to do I have no problem paying for it.
Thanks everyone,
The Play Store is your friend...
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=floor planners&hl=en_GB ...then scroll down to Apps
Yeah I know you can obviously search but there are countless apps, I was asking if anyone had any previous experience doing something similar to what I was looking to do.. and knew of an app that handled it well.
Any drawing application will do that for u, sketchbook pro or artflow pro. Do u use ms paint for the pics you draw?

Actually you should have Scetchbook for Galaxy already installed on this tablet? Tried it?
try “s-pen share”

I would use Infinite Painter, found in the play store. You can perform wonders with the appropriate layering work flow. Give it a try. It's free! It's also designed for the 10.1 2014!
PM me if you can't find it.
Hope it helps.

I'm with the above user: Infinite painter is one of the most powerful drawing toos using S Pen
there's also Infinite Design for more technical drawings. this one isn't fully integrate with s pen, however

So, I got to play with this at best buy and I must admit, if I had 300$ to spend I might have left 300$ there at best buy and walked out with it.
This tablet was the most fun I've ever had playing on a tablet. I wasn't impressed by ipad, the galaxy s tab was cool, but not really "eye catching" in terms of being worth the price..
This sucker was smooth though.. it ran really, really smoothly. It was probably one of the coolest things I've seen.
The weird part is that I really had trouble finding a logical use for the pen. It is always nice to get more for what your purchase, but I am having trouble finding practical uses for it. I am sure if I got one I would think of more uses after the fact.
A few times I've used it to take notes. But mostly, I use it to show my friends how much better my tablet is compared to theirs. I think the latter is what HTC was going for.
I use it to quickly mark up power points and presentation notes when I do reviews at work.
So far I haven't found a use for it. Taking notes on the tablet does not appeal to me nor does drawing on screenshots.
I use it whenever I need a paper to write something on. Paperless for me. Only print it out when I really need it. Environmental friendly as well

I use it to takes notes in my classes. I find the notes mobile app much easier to take notes with compared to the HTC notes app. Plus with honeycomb you can use the pen all throughout the tablet as apposed to only taking screenshots on gingerbread

I use it @ work (IT) for taking notes, since we are trying to go "green" in the office, it's my "see here ya go I'm going green"...and hopefully this means that work will reimburse me for it.
I never even thought about the possibilities involving roms.
Could be loads of fun.
Hm... wonder if ICS will have anything special for pen based tabs...
I design and manufacture parts for the auto racing industry.
I use the Flyers camera to take a photo of the area I’m working on then, note the dimension on the pic with the pen.
If need be I can take several shots from different angles.
I then return to my workstation’s cad program and I have all my info at hand.
It really helps me to visualize the part I’m working on.
For making a usable quick sketch and markups. I was surprised how much I started to markup screen shots of Web pages once I got used to the idea.

I got the pen just because it was on sale for 39.99 and I had a 10 dollar reward certificate. I'm not really sure how much I'll use it but hope with the upgrade it'll be more useful.

Make notes when reading eBooks.
Take a picture of office maps (fire routes work great) then mark them up for new network drops and whatnot.
I've started using it in place of anything I'd have used a paper notepad for. Extra cool that the notes are ocr'd and searchable.
Maybe one day I'll get around to drawing up plot diagrams, creating story arcs, and writing a book... Too busy for that right now though.
I use it to take notes. My daughter uses it for notes and to annotate her books for her English class using the reader that came installed on the flyer.
Everything. I am a recruiter for a consulting firm and take notes on my conversations with candidates - been using evernote for a few years so its a virtual database of people now. Also in grad school and use it to mark up powerpoints and sometimes record audio or the cam to capture diagrams on whiteboards. Used it at a family get together to find a pizza place with Google maps, pull up the menu, and write down (on the menu screenshot) our complete order - easily placed the correct orders and people were like "that is awesome". A life saving feature is accessing my home machine via logmein as well. I love this thing.

I just got my first android tab. Everything is so far so good. Frankly was really worried since there are tons of people whining about Wifi, bleeding and even short charger cable(lol mine wasnt short at all)
Either way, biggest and maybe only disappointment i have with my tablet is that there is nothing on Android Market that is comparable to "Notability" from IOS.
If you have an Ipad, you know what i am talking about.... I looked around for a while and cant find anything as good. I was wondering if anyone can make an recommendation on a note taking app that is similar to Notability.
Supernote should have come stock with the TFP, look for it. I remember it from the OG Transformer. It was really good, better than most I've seen on the market.

Skitch (market link) is an add-on to Evernote that provides much of the same functionality.
Try freenote- same concept but not as feature rich (yet- v responsive developer
You're probably better off posting this in the themes and apps forum.
You might want to take a look at AntiPaper Note Free from the market. I don't think it has all the features you're looking for but hey, this is Android :-/
We'll eventually catch up.

I can take notes on my Prime, open them on my iPhone, or on a Laptop or Computer in a Web Browser.
It is awesome. I used it for making Christmas Lists in December. Took my girls to Toys R U, wrote down what they wanted, BOOM!! Awesome!
I also prefer writing with the stylus and ive seen people use notability.
I started out with supernote but didnt like how it was not as easy to free write.
I tried antipaper for a while and i liked it a lot and the writing style was a lot more like notability, but overall i preferred supernote because it was a more complete program and was organized better.. and i found out then if u hit insert-annotation you can free write something on the note and move it or resize it.
And evernote is no good because you cant write. Stitch is not an addon, it is an independent app that was bought by evernote, and you can just share to evernote within skitch. It provides no where near the functionality or efficiency of the other stylus writing note apps
Was gonna post this in another thread which I found out has closed so I'm asking here cause it seems appropriate:
I've never owned a device running iOS, so please could someone explain to me what is so restrictive about Apple's products? I know you can't have widgets or download from a third party without jailbreaking (surely you can download pdf files etc. Though, right?) but what else?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
There is no technical reason for that, Steve Jobs said once that they are putting the apps under a series of test before putting them on the market to provide an higher degree of quality, honestly i see every kind of junk in the App store, even apps that plays farts.
They are just trying to offer less and make a lot of money out of it.
Do not forget, Apple does nothing on its own, does not have even 1 single factory for their hardware, even their OS are just FreeBSD porting, it's just about fashion with their products, also they can't be open because of their business strategy, think about iTunes, iTunes is based on the fact that their OS is closed, if iOS will be opensource probably the music industry will leave iTunes and iTunes itself will die.
Being closed-source also facilitate the "dream factor" and the users can't verify how a feature work and they just use it a the brand tells them.
Apples products are restrictive because they try to lock you into Apple's ecosystem, you can't install apps from anywhere other than the iTunes store (without jailbreaking), they block apps from their store if they find a "moral objection" to them (trying to force their morality on the consumer) and finally they outright ban apps from their competitors (the iOS gmail app which has become an "applet" you can access through the browser).
There are some APIs that you don't have access to that you would have on Android.....mainly around hardware stuff. It also takes a lot longer to get an app approved in the app store. It can be up to a week or two weeks depending on you app. Compare this to Google Play where its almost instant.
Like the previous poster said, with iOS you are tied into using apple's eco system of the app store and itunes. Its not a bad thing really if you are happy with that, but some prefer the relative freedom of Android.
I've developed for both Android and iOS and personally I havent had any issue with restrictions on iOS......it hasnt dtopped me doing anything I wanted to do on that platform.
Good luck!
So it ain't as bad as everyone makes out?

Take your IToy....connect and sync it with your computer...go to your friend's house. He has some music & vids on his IToy that you would also like on yours. Connect your IToy to his computer to get those music & vids...see what happens..
Or have the hard drive crash on your PC, get a new hard drive. Connect your IToy to your computer so you can copy all your music & vids back to your PC & see what happens..(this happened to somebody I know)
How are the things mentioned here anything but bad? Anytime competition is prevented is bad for the consumer since competition is the only thing that encourages innovation and without it every company would just follow planned obsolescence.
Very costly sdk which makes developing very easy...............
closed source nothing to learn nothing to gain............
very costly its just isnt worth what to pay ............
most of the apps are paid ... unlike android..........
you wont recive os updates and ports custom roms like android does..........
all things are complicated you need and should be done via ituunes unlike android plug in usb do what you want..........
no live wallpaper support out of the box(needs jail breaking)
same userinterface how dumb can it get without the desktop............
no customization...............
add to that damn costly..............
theres a bigger list but its waste of time discussing abt it.......
Thanks, wanted to know. Don't own an iOS device and don't plan to

Depends on the app itself and whether your small ram pool may cause android to kill your app.

No. "True" multitasking requires the service to keep running in the background. What you're describing is just caching the app in the RAM.
So it depends on the apps themselves? I have 1GB RAM.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
iOS restrictions are as follows:
-Only available on one phone/tablet
-Can't install apps outside of app store without jailbreak, so no betas, console emulators
-No widgets, custom launchers, custom keyboards (like Swype)
in true multitasking the app shouldnt be killed and should be cached with no lag......thats true multitasking.
Actually, iOS proprietary, and from there go restrictions.
But Android is open to all, anyone can bring in their code.

Well, I just got myself an OTG cable for my Nexus 7. It's currently connected to a keyboard and I'm actually typing on it right now.
Since I just got my tablet, I'm not sure if I want a laptop. I have a desktop at home if I wanted to do homework, but in class I could bring my tablet.
Do you think it's silly to take notes in class with a tablet/keyboard combo? I'll probably use Supernotes too, unless there is a better note taking app.
Is it even practical either?

It's all a matter of personal preference personally I use a netbook for taking notes in class, but several people I know and my friends who have tablets use a a tablet and keyboard combination for taking notes (Ranging from ASUS Transformer to Ipad with bluetooth dock keyboard cover) and it works great for them. If you want to go light and the tablet/keyboard combo works for you I say go for it. Also check out Evernote, in my opinion the best mobile note taking app out there right now, plus it easily syncs with your Evernote notes on your desktop, on pretty much any OS and you can also edit your notes easily and conveniently from the web.

Catch is good but I feel as if Evernote is more polished, less buggy, and works better cross platform. Plus for me while the interface felt nice, things didn't necessarily seem as intuitive as they could have been, nerveless it is still a good alternative to Evernote. I also use AK Notepad by the people who make Catch for real simple quick and dirty note takings (Have been using that since early on with my Droid 1).
Over here in my school its compulsory for everyone to have a *cough* iPad *cough* (because its simple to use... really??), yeah I prefer it to pen and paper. Much faster and I get more customisation choices, screw different coloured pens... they're all on Google docs and I share them with everyone plus they don't get lost. Love it.

Ive been looking around also. I enjoy art and bought Sketchbook mobile. There is a free version with some features cut but still worth a download. If you're into art it pretty much a slim Photoshop in your pocket. I've never used a wacom so this is as close as ive been but the one dollar app was worth the $300 phone haha.
I guess a lot of it comes down to what you want to do, but I rely heavily on productivity tools like Astrid Tasks and Note Everything Pro. I use gReader for RSS, USA Today, and recently discovered Flipboard for news. Sign for speed dialing, Wave Launcher for quick access to certain apps at any time, Tasker, and Tapatalk. As far as S-Pen apps, Paper Artist that comes with it is fun, and PicSay Pro is that much easier to use now that I have the S-Pen.
