New Note User --S Pen?

[debdroid1a]

I'm new to the Note series. I've always liked the idea of the S pen, but the size was what stopped me from getting one. After the S5 and seeing the Ip6+ from coworkers, I got one.

I do like to write with the Spen. One reason I got this was the ability to write on the screen with the phone off (no more lost thoughts).
Took a pic and wrote on that.
Found you can do a screen shot with it, and just what I want (yeah, no cropping) and then write in that.
Also I realized 2 games the S Pen works great for. One is "Word Search". You have to highlight the words you find and I found it difficult with my fingers, but so easy with the S Pen. Also "Spider" solitaire. The cards are tiny and the Spen works in moving then easier.

What are some other features you use the S Pen for?

ETA - I did read the post about not putting it in backwards and will avoid that.

One thing I have used it for with every Note, is if I need to write down info while on a call. The Note 2 would automatically pop up a blank Note if you pulled the pen out while on a call. The Note 4 would save that Note with the call. If you looked on the call log, the Note was there by that specific call to that number.

I think they have taken a lot of options away from the action memo that the Note 4 had, but I'm not sure yet, haven't had time to play with the spen yet and see.

Yes that does work. That is nice. Thanks for the tip.

I just called my work and since I'm home got my voice mail, but was able to use the S Pen. My Note stayed up too and I just deleted it.

What are some "Shortcuts" others have added to the Air Command?

I haven't added any yet, but for some reason that question reminded me of something. There is an app you might want, PicsArt. You can draw and write and not having to use the spen, but also there are other things you can do with the spen. It's a free app. There are also other edit options.

MyScript Calculator & OneNote.

OneNote is by far my most used data organization app. I keep track of everything in it. OneNote is like a giant filing cabinet I carry around in my phone that syncs to my laptop and desktop.

MyScript calculator is just really cool. You can write out a math equation by hand and it will calculate for you. With two kids in Highschool and one starting collage, this comes in handy.

On the previous Note phones, you could hover the tip of the pen near the top or bottom of the screen to scroll up or down. I haven't looked into it much on this phone, but the option wasn't there in Google Chrome. Hopefully they didn't remove that feature.

There are many suggested uses in the Note 4 forum.

Plus other S pen threads if you search for them.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Do all those Note 4 options work with the 5?

I have searched and been watching this note 5 section since August 21 so I'm getting more familiar with it.

ETA: Checking the thread out now.

S Note Expention Pack! Did you Download it? -- You can find it by opening up the S Note App, choosing More, then choosing More Features.. I finally downloaded it this morning. It apparently has in the extension pack that includes advanced tricks like a heartier toolbar and shape recognition, handwriting "transformation" and the ability to record sketches.

Note 4 features are still on the spen, you just get to them in a different way.

You can even write and address, tap more, link to action and scroll to the GPS icon and it will map it and be ready to navigate.

I started graduate school today and I was using my S Pen to take notes on .pdfs.

A simple but useful idea:
Take a screenshot of a Google Map and write or draw on it to help someone understand where to go or meet on a map.

I've done this a few times to describe to someone where to park their car and how to walk from the parking lot from one building to the next. Very handy.

I can't seem to find the handwriting "transformation" setting. Does this turn handwritten text into actual text? Am I just missing it?

I'm a long time paper Moleskine notebook user and downloaded their app last year, but didn't use it to much. The spen works ok on it to write with as you can see by the attachment.

Just a warning, if you lock a notebook, type in the password accurately. You get one chance and if it's wrong you have the notebook forever locked. Just found out. I'm going to let then one they need a verify password feature.

This is in the basic S Note app. No add-ons needed.

See the 1, 2, 3 below.
1. Choose the selection tool
2. Select your text
3. Choose Transform into
4. Choose Text

Thanks! I didn't know how that worked either.
