EMUI Tips and Tricks You Won't Want to Miss
The smartphone has become an indispensable tool in getting things done.
EMUI offers some innovative features to turn your phone into a pocket-sized productivity powerhouse.
Try them out to become more efficient!
-1-
Capture moments of inspiration
Inspiration can be frustratingly fleeting and difficult to recover. This means you need to make a record before it disappears. With the handy Quick note feature, you'll always be prepared to capture your moments of inspiration when they strike.
Go to Settings > Apps > Notepad > Quick note, then enable Quick note.
Once Quick note has been enabled, you can touch and hold the Quick note tab on any screen until your phone vibrates, then swipe inward to show the Quick note window and record what's on your mind. You can express your thoughts out loud and your phone will then convert your voice into text in real time.
Express yourself with more depth and meaning by adding pictures. Once saved, the notes can be shared to your social media accounts as images.
Notepad works more than a note-taking app. Getting more mileage out of this app can make your life easier, thanks to its rich text editing and ability to sync between devices.
-2-
Make email less stressful
Email is the main mode of communication to carry out day-to-day tasks at work. How does the preinstalled Email app help boost your productivity?
Email can fetch your emails from other apps so you can stay on top of your inbox.
Do you wish there was a better way than having to enter contacts one by one every time? Add members to a team and send emails to all the team members in one go.
Worried that you might miss important messages in your inbox? Mark your important contacts as VIPs, and the app will automatically place your emails from these VIPs in the dedicated VIP inbox.
If you need to communicate with foreign friends or colleagues, try the surefire email translation feature.
-3-
Stay on track with a calendar that works for you
Be prepared for every single event with the Calendar app.
When creating an event in the calendar, you can add the time it takes place, set reminders, and add location information. You'll get timely reminders that help you stay ahead of schedule.
You can also set your ticket information to be displayed on the HUAWEI Assistant.Today screen.
That's all for today in terms of making the most of the Notepad, Email, and Calendar apps. If you have any tips about using these apps, leave us a message.
*The above features may differ based on your device model.

Anyone know?
Thanks

Not sure, yet you can DL the file of course. i use Polaris Office due to working easily with MS Office.
Can someone post the apk for this app? I want to use it on my Xoom.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Anyone else have any idea about syncing?
thanks

It sure does! I sync between my Jetstream, the web, my Windows laptop, and my rooted HTC Incredible.
I have HTC Notes and the Evernote Android App on my Jetstream. You don't have to, but they each have a couple cool features that the other doesn't offer... By the way, having both installed has not led to any conflicts with syncing as far as I've noticed. Here are the couple of cool features IMO...
HTC Notes on Jetstream:
Timemark recording - open or create a note > hit record audio > write down "need to verify the numbers he reported". When I review the note after the meeting, I can jump right to the section of audio that was recorded at the time I made a particular text or ink (scribe pen) entry.
Calendar linking - I can link a note to a calendar entry... This makes it easy to recall a note specific to whatever meeting I happen to be in. I can also create a new note from a calendar entry. This only links with my calendar on the Jetstream I do not see the linked item in outlook on my PC for instance. I can still find the note in Evernote on any of my devices though.
Android Evernote App on my Jetstream:
Notes does not have the format functions I've come to depend on in my notes. The android app has the basic text formatting features like Bold and font sizes. No big deal until you have to live without them... I use formatting to categorize things withing my notes all the time. When it all looks the same, I get lost in all the noise.
The android app also has more complex formatting like bullet points and... CHECK BOXES! No such thing as notes without action items and this has become a crutch for me!
On a side note... I've used an iPad2 and a Xoom and never found either to be the go-to device that I could take from meeting to meeting. They were great for checking email and accepting meeting requests, but my phone was better... and more discreet. This is the first time I feel like I've invested in a business enhancing tool vs, a fun media, web, etc. tool. My take. I can't wait till a decent case with integrated scribe pen compartment comes out!
Cheers!

I have question regarding your use of the Gmail app. I am a current ios user and have purchased a Note 2. I was about to reluctantly return it and get an iphone5 (sad choice, because I loved the Note 2), but since I use my smartphones for work and use emails constantly I need a slick and easy way to sync (IMAP idle/push) four email addresses to one app.
I tried k9 and hated it. No threading/conversation view. push not responsive and def not easy to use. No server search for email. On a good day, I'll get more than 100 emails to various addresses. I sometimes need to search for a specific one. and on K9 Im stuck with only the last 25. I could increase the number of saved emails, but that takes up lots of space. Sure its powerful, but I need the basic to work quickly and easily.
Its a big change for me, moving to Android that is. and I want to make it work. Can you tell me if you can use the Gmail app (which I like), and manage, read, write to and from all my account (one Gmail, 3 domain hosted addresses)?
Thanks for you help.
I use gMail & have my main gMail account grab my home & work eMail brought into their own label (which I set up on the desktop client). Once it's setup & verified I can send from any of my email addresses from my phone.

Same problem

My friend i am going through the same problem - I was *just* about to post my thread when I saw this.
I'm not going to thread jack - but below is what I was going to send - this is particularly the same problem you are facing and more over, I dont get all my sub folders and the emails dont zoom out to the max...
The Samsung Galaxy Note II is my first android device so I would require some help from you guys. I've owned iphone 2g and iphone 4 and now I thought that android had matured enough that I should jump this droid boat. Not to mention that the note 2's s-pen is a real innovation compared to other stuff android fanboys and iphone fanboys boast about.
I'm still getting used to a lot of functions about the androids and loving every moment of it. But im not particularly here to talk about that - I need some help on one thing I rely most upon...
EMAILS
iOS - email app has ALL my mailboxes (some pushing while others fetch) including their folders and sub-folders, all nicely laid out. Also whenever I open an email on the iOS device the email is zoomed out to the max and I can zoom in to my satisfaction.
Pics:
Folders of my work email & Default (max) zoomed out email - kindly check attachment
Problem - I can not get this done on the android. The following pics are from the stock email app but I tried K9, the gmail app (doesnt support exchange) but none of them could provide me the maxed zoomed out layout of the email. Niether are folders easy to access.
Pics:
Folders of my work email (missing all subfolders of the inbox) & Default (max) zoomed out email - cant zoom out any further at all!
kindly check attachment
SOLUTION? I need to know if there is an app that could work like the iOS email app?! I really want to switch to the note 2 but I still end up carrying my iphone with me and I hate it cuz one of the major reasons to switch to android and note 2 was the productivity, and yet I still end up relying on the iphone...

I'm looking for a technique or an app that allows me to display a specific Google calendar in an application with one touch and without the use of a web browser or widget.
Ideally, I would simply tap a shortcut on a homescreen that would open an android calendar app, displaying only the specified Google calendar.
The real world use case is that my office is in a building with a shared conference room that has it's own resource calendar. Sometimes, there will be a spark of inspiration and our team will want to get together in the conference room to discuss. Currently, I have to either run to my desk and view the calendar or go through a lot of trouble on my phone to drill down to the day, then hour and select a particular calendar to create an event to reserve the conference room. It would be so much more efficient if I could click one button to see if the conference room is already taken and click once more to create a reservation event if it's available.
I've used AppXplore to expose the intents of the built in Calendar app for use with Tasker. com.android.calendar.selectcalendars.SelectVisibleCalendarsActivity looks promising but I'm not sure of the Extra activity information that would be necessary to only display my desired calendar. I was thinking that I might create a Tasker task that removes all the other calendars from view, open the calendar app, and wait for a particular event to re-activate the other calendars. But again, I'm not sure about the Extras that would be necessary.
Perhaps there's an app that can create shortcuts on the desktop for each calendar. Or perhaps someone knows how to achieve this with Tasker or a shell command. I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

Best app ever for retail!
I work in retail (Best Buy) and I use this app all the time to write down quick notes or customer requests.
Suggestions?
Only one, different color skins for notes/interface. Great app otherwise!
I love the idea, but it won't sync with my phone. I created a list on the phone and deleted the example notes. The phone app shows the example notes and not my list.
Suggestion : Add the past (Copy/Paste) from todo list "GTask" (google task) and/or from "Out Of The Milk"
Whether an application for Gear S offline without a smartphone? Is it possible without smartphone Gear S create notes and reminders to get?
Question..why dose the app need so many permissions? Like accounts. Gps. Alarm. Apps. Sd card ?!!!! Its a note app! ?[emoji52]
Question/Suggestion
First I want to say this is a great program so thank you for making it.
I have one suggestion or question. Is it possible to be able to re-arraign the tasks within a note. It would be nice that when i open the program I immediately see, from the snapshot, important tasks first. Basically be able to add a line to the first line.
Thanks

It is a note app which is connected with Gear watch and syncs notes with Dropbox and with Gear watch.
Also you have the choice to attach pictures and to add time or location based alarms for each note.
Thank you for the question.

Very nice suggestion. I wil try to add the choice to rearrange tasks inside a note.
What about the option for completed tasks to move to the end of the list?
That would be a nice addition, but I just delete the task once completed so all I see is what needs to be done. That's why it would be nice that when i open my notes that I see the top five shown to be my priority. thanks
I really love your app!
This is an example of an app full of features. I think the developer smartGear is doing right by asking feedback. It's a nice way to improve the app and detect possible errors.

Sync with watch
I can get notes in gear app to sync with watch. Gears S3.
The app gives me "no gear device has been connected" message. I checked the obvious Bluetooth connection etc. Any suggestions on how to solve this?
Hello dear community,
I am looking for this for quite a while.
Is there an app that will allow me to create my own cloud based dictionary? I want to improve my language skills through creating my own dictionary.
The dictionary database has to be editable online (web based), since I would like to be able copy/paste detailed definitions from different web dicts.
And of course a sync-able android app that will allow me to check some words on the go or learn while in the train
"Now" dictionary is getting pretty closer to what I wish for, but it's only available for smartphones and no browsers.
"Anki cards" is cool too, but they focus on the flip-cards learning feature which I don't frankly need. I will be completely happy with a super simple searchable custom dict.
There are some apps that allow to create custom dict file and then upload it to the SD or whatever and use it. But I want to be able to add words constantly (web or on the go)
I'm thinking - there definitely is such an app, its just me who fail to search of it properly so please help )
cheers,
Kalin
Hi there!
I would like to encourage you to check out the Spreadsheet Memo app: http://spreadsheetmemo.com
Spreadsheet Memo is a flashcard-based learning web application (combined with the power of Google Sheets to store your content) that allows you to quickly memorize things.
Flashcards can bear vocabulary, major historical dates, chemical element names, math/physics equations or even types of dinosaurs
Simply put, any subject matter that can be learned via a question-and-answer format.
You can use it for your study, as a preparation tool, knowledge check for one of your exams or to practice new vocabulary.
Sky is the limit!

Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SpreadsheetMemo (news, helpful tips and updates notifications)
Twitter: https://twitter.com/SpreadsheetMemo
Example Document (updated with every new release; provides the examples of how to use the new Spreadsheet Memo features)
Chrome Web Store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/spreadsheet-memo/kkanmehahohgnfcncalgknpbnaiaomeb (you can add the Spreadsheet Memo to your Chrome Apps for quick access - this app is free, no ads and no hidden costs)
The main features and the main goals of the Spreadsheet Memo are:
It helps you to memorize things: and it works! Every lesson is composed with two rounds. The goal of the first (initial round) is to check your brain memory's performance (you reveal the answer and subjectively define its difficulty by choosing one of the following: "I knew it" or "I didn't know"). The second round (final round) is to make sure that you have remembered the new or troubling things. The progress of the current round is presented by the progress bars located near the Question/Answer cards.
Ability to use the Google Sheet documents to store your data: with all the benefits of Google documents like sharing, editing, printing, etc.
Compatible with mobile devices: you can use it on your computer but also on all kinds of your mobile devices. You're not bound to one device. So, whenever you've got some spare time, start the new lesson. You just need a web browser!
Multiple documents: you can use as many different documents as you want. All according to your needs! You can even use the Named Ranges feature offered by Google Sheets. This is a very useful way for slicing your Spreadsheet Memo documents to a smaller parts and describe those parts with friendly names.
Responsive: no unnecessary pages loading - clean, quick and simple.
You can add links and images to your content: sometimes the words are just not enough. You can add an image or a link to the internet resources to enrich your content. It could be especially useful when you prefer some additional visualization for being able to remember things quicker and better.
You can enrich your content by using Wiki Markup - supported types are: Text formatting, Indent text, Lists, Sections, External links, Images and YouTube videos.
You can add mathematical equations or formulas using the TeX or AsciiMath notation.
Your documents stay with you: by using the standard Google Sheet documents you're able to review and edit their content even without the Spreadsheet Memo app.
Secure and safe: all of your documents belongs only to you, no personal info is shared or collected, all connections are made with secure https protocol.
No ads or hidden costs: it's all for free!
Your privacy is very important and you have the right to remain anonymous.
The Spreadsheet Memo was build on the foundations provided by Google (Google Apps Script: https://developers.google.com/apps-script/) and uses all the benefits of this platform, such as:
integration with Google services (e.g. Google Sheets)
single sign-on (you don't need to remember yet another login/password. Let the Google manage and provide access to other apps, like the one to the Spreadsheet Memo app)
built-in security, stability, scalability and efficiency
This app uses the Google Authorization. Thus, when first launched, the Spreadsheet Memo will need your authorization to run. You can read more about it here: https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/services/authorization You don't need to know all about this - the most important info is that your email, login, password or any other personal info will NOT be passed to the Spreadsheet Memo. They will always remain your property.
Your approval of permissions will let the Spreadsheet Memo operate properly and with full capabilities.
And I'm fully aware that all the permissions might look pretty scary at first glance. And that is exactly why I've written all of this - trying my best to make you feel safe and making sure that you are well informed.
So, let me explain those permissions:
View and manage your spreadsheets in Google Drive, View and manage the files in your Google Drive - for being able to find the Spreadsheet Memo documents. This app operates only on Spreadsheet Memo documents, it has no access or even isn't aware of the existence of any other of your Goggle Drive files.
View and manage data associated with the application - for being able to store your preferences using the user properties (those preferences are private and are connected specifically with your Google account)
Allow this application to run when you are not present - for being able to run this app without additional login prompt, when you're already logged into your Goggle account - just to save your time (standard behavior of Google related products)
Know who you are on Google - standard permission to recognize you as a google user (no information is processed or collected)
View your email address, Send email as you: for being able to send you the welcoming mail (with short summary and information about your current Spreadsheet Memo assets). And the best part is that this email will be sent from your account to your account, never leaving your own context. So your email address, as well as your identity, will stay hidden and secure.
And If you don't like this app (something that, I hope, is unlikely going to happen ) you can always revoke its accesses (uninstall it). There are two ways to do this:
Just follow the instruction from https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/services/authorization#revoking_access_rights
or you can use the Uninstall option provided in the mail that you will receive from Google. It will be sent right after the first launch of the Spreadsheet Memo app. Look for the mail: "More information about Spreadsheet Memo with uninstall instructions." in your inbox. Any documents that you've created will stay in your Google Drive, nothing will be lost.
Wrapping things up: remember that all of your documents belongs only to you, you can uninstall this app any time you want, no personal info is shared or collected, your identity (such as email) is and will remain your own property. From the Spreadsheet Memo point of view, you're anonymous.
You can find some additional info about the Spreadsheet Memo at the https://www.facebook.com/SpreadsheetMemo page - including news, helpful tips and updates notifications.
I've been using flashcard-based apps for quite some time (Super Memo was great!) and I've found them very useful. But every one of them had some things that just doesn't work for me (e.g. troubles with data migration, lack of support for mobile devices, no statistics, etc.) - so I've decided to write my own.
One line of code to another and the idea transforms into something with its own domain name and Facebook/Twitter page.
So, feel free to check it out. And if you have any thoughts about it (like/dislike, opinions, reviews, ideas) please leave a comment. Thanks in advance for any feedback!
