    ~11/2018 My Note 2 crashesd shortly after i did a simultaneous multi app upgrade to stay with the times. (I hate updates, they most always cause some kind of negative results; but I was behind, it was late & I was tired so I went for it much too my dismay.)
    1 & 1/2 months later I bought the Note 8 (couldn’t wait for the Note 10 which I really wanted). Most of my S-notes (some saved to SD Card) i thought would xfer to the new Note 8 but i didn’t know the 8 didn’t automatically come with same S-Note that i previously had (I thought it did with my Note 2 though, I’ve slept since then).

    Which S-Note app (icon) offered today is the one I need to recover my old S-Notes as there seems to be multiple versions of the original because I don’t see the same S-Note Icon that I had with my Note 2 ?

    Also, I didn’t think my old phone had backed up my data but, it did restore/xfer pretty much all of my apps, so I guess it was backed up, though not all of my contacts were & some contacts were rearranged last name first.

    Non S-Note related but why would all my contacts not xfer like I had them listed?

      S Note app had changed a lot since Note 2.Samsung stopped the new development for it a few years ago. Samsung Notes is its successor (with less features).

      You can still install S Note app in Galaxy Apps. But whether you can restore your notes depends whether you actually backed up them. If there are backups, both Samsung Notes and S Note can restore them.

      If you used Samsung SmartSwitch for the transfer, the notes and contacts should be transferred

      How did you make the transfer?

    I use the auto back feature to back up my S Note 10.1 2014. I did the back up sync and did factory reset. The new operating system has upgraded from 4.0 to 5.0. But I have tried possible way but can’t see any of my old note documents. What can I do

      Where did you back up to? to Samsung account or Evernote account?

      The safest place to keep back up is your PC!

          I don’t think there is an option to sync S Notes to Google account.

      First, if you use S Note often, don’t forget to back up them regularly. Don’t rely on Samsung’s services. They are not good at this.

      Did you check the sync status? You can manually trick the sync and monitor the status.

    I have a Note 5 and a new Android tablet. I use S Note for over 1,500 medical charts. How do I best back these up. I sync to Samsung. But cannot retrieve from Samsung. It’s awful. If I switch to sync with Evernote, it says I lose old files. What do I do. Is there a way I can sync to a PC and delete the doubled files which there are hundreds. And how can I best store all my S Note files SPD files. They’re all over the place. Is there a way to build a master file then import them back into my phone?

      It is best to back up them to your PC with SamrtSwitch for PC.

      Samsung cloud is not fully functional in Note 5. It will be part of Samsung’s Nougat update, as I know. So, do NOT rely on back up to Samsung account right now.

      If the S Notes are important, always, back up them to your PC NOW!

        thank you… 2nd question.
        How do i back up JUST my s-notes –
        versus the entire phone?

        AND, am i exporting the files OFF my phone (note 5) or just making a exported copy?
        in the past, when i export s-note, i get old files for some reason??

        i cleaned up all my files. renamed, dated, added cover pictures to every file.
        tried to export, – not sure where they are exporting to… but still found old files on my PC
        how do i preserve all this onto my PC or MAC even?!?

          You can back up the phone to the PC with SmartSwitch for PC. You can select items to be backed up. In your case, you can choose S Note only.

          Not sure what old files on your PC you are referring to.

    I just did the most recent update on my S5 (marshmallow) and now I can’t get S Note to open – it immediately closes before it ever comes up. Seems like I had this problem before, but I don’t remember what I did. Already tried clearing and wiping the cache, but neither worked. Please help!

        I have the most up to date version. When I went to it, it says “This version is compatible only with some of Samsung Marshmallow OS”
        1. We are expanding supporting models in Play Store.
        We will support incompatible models as soon as possible.

        2. Please use synchronization features for keeping your data safely.

        I don’t know how to synchronize, but otherwise I guess you just have to wait for them to come up with a compatible version?

            In Galaxy apps, you can also find s note app. But the version is identical to that in play store.

            Not sure about the error if you already updated Google play services.

    i was dumb and dead drunk when i changed the password of a very important file in my s-note of samsung note 3.

    i have tried ways to recover the file and/or the password..inclusive of being re-drunk..and continuous dumb..

    futile as it is i can say…

    are there any other briliant way i could recover this one particular important s-note.

      Backup the S note files. You can then change the extension to zip, and use some password cracking programs for zip files on your PC. If the length is short, you may get it quickly. If it’s too long or too complicated, it may be impractical for any tools.

      Yes, factory data reset will erase all your data, including S notes in phone storage. You should back up them before resetting the phone. Actually, you should backup them regularly.

    Hello, when importing pictures into s-note I clicked via google drive but then accidentally clicked ‘always’ instead of just once. Now I can’t import pictures from any other location. Do you know how to reset this please? I’ve tried settings -applications-s note-reset defaults but its not highlighted as an option. I love s note so hope this is fixable!

    I’ve been taking my lecture notes on it for the last 3 years, deleting s notes by mistake is my biggest problem I have sketch show and audio in each note , so exporting to pdf won’t help I need my s notes
    but when typing so fast or just closing the app a lot could go wrong
    is there any way I could recover my deleted s notes or maybe a way to secure the rest of the page while I’m typing? ??
    When I delete it does it completely disappear from my device ?

      Android doesn’t have a recycle bin as Windows. Once a file is deleted, it’s deleted. You have to rely on data recovery services if you desperately need them back. Such services are usually expensiveb without guarantee.

      Backup, backup and backup, if there are anything important. It’s strange that you never backup your notes.

    Upgraded from Note 2 to Note 5, I had approximately 100 notes organized into a dozen folders,when I opened S Note it would show my folders.

    On Note 5 when I open S Note it shows “all notes” by default, I have to select a “category” to see the notes in an individual folder.

    Is there a arty way to get a “category”view by default instead of the “all notes” view?

      No, I don’t think Galaxy Note 5 offer this option for the S Note. It seems the developer has no idea what are the useful features to keep because a lot of very useful features were added, then removed over versions. i guess the developers are not using S Note heavily. That’s the common problem of almost all Samsung apps.

      When iNote comes, Samsung will know how to do it correctly.

      It’s very hard to recover files after deleted. The good practice is to backup and sync your notes.

      If they are extremely important, you should check with local data recovery services providers.

    query…can exported files(i will probably export in pdf) be easily imported by any s-note(diary) in any samsung device and read exactly the same way. i just saw the s-note in the 4 and it’s way different than my 8. i would think there’d be issues about being formatted correctly if say i transferred notes across devices. kind of important if i have a different device handy at the time…yes?

    would a proprietary samsung file work better for this than pdf? thx all

      If you import pdf files to s note, a lot of formattings will be lost. Similarly, when you export s note to pdf, you also lose some formattings.

      Pdf is de facto standard and you can use any pdf reader to open a pdf file.

      But s note is complicated. Samsung fragmented it’s own app. New version can convert files created in old versions with some (minor) loss in formatting. But old version s note app has no way to open new format. This is normal and usually referred as backward compatibility. But Samsung apparently failed to update the old s note app to the latest version in most recent updates. It’s a shame for developers in Samsung.

      So it’s a pain to sync s notes if you have more than two or more note devices that are not in the same generation.

      So, try to finish individual notes in each device. To make it safe, backup the notes and backup the pdf or image versions of the notes as well.

          S note is good for note taking if you try the s pen for a few days. Some designers also like it.

          For diary with photos, illustrations and handwritings, s note is still probably the best app. The main problem is the version of s note app is not consistent if you have different generations of note devices.

      Thank you for the interest. Unfortunately, due to the substantial difference of S Note in Note 1, Note 2, Note 10.1, Note 8.0, Note 10.1 2014 edition, Note 3, Note Pro and Note 4, it is too difficult to cover them in one book. We are still considering how to proceed. The original draft based on Note 1 and Note 2 was scrapped because it is outdated and may cause confusion (a book or a short guide should clear doubts, not add frustration to the reader..)

      In short term, we are adding some short S Note guides in how-to guides section for Note 4..

          As I know, there is no tool to export spd file (with sketch recording) to a video.

          For snb (the old format), I remember someone released a small proof-of-concept tool to do it. But in spd file, the sketch recording is no longer saved as an individual xml file in media folder (SPD file actually is just a zip archive). So, the tool should not work any more, to my knowledge.

          You may try to find a good screen recorder on your PC or on Note device. I really don’t know any other solutions.

      if the file is corrupted, S Note cannot fix it. You can copy the S Note file to a PC, rename it as a .zip file. Then use 7zip yo unzip it. If you are lucky, you may recover some media files.

      You may try to copy the s note file to the pc, rename it as .zip and use some cracking tools to get the password. If the password is long, it may take very long time.

I have written several notes, but cannot find a way to organize them. Can I create folders in the application and save the different notes there?

      It is easy to create folders to organize your S Notes. Using folders is the recommended way to manage S Notes.

      Open S Note app (assuming you are using Note 3), you are in Recent Notes view by default. Tap the Recent Notes (top left, with a Home icon). You are then in All notes view. Tap the hardware menu key (left to home button), you can then find the Create folder option.

      Once the folder is created, you can move existing Notes to this folder by tapping the menu key–Move in the All notes view. You can also open the folder to create new S Notes to this folder directly.

      Actually, you can also use any file manager (e.g., the pre-installed My Files) to manually create folders in the SNotedata folder, and manually move the S Note files (SPD) to this folder.

      To combine S Notes into one, I use these steps (I am not sure whether you have faster way…):
      1). create a new S Note, 2)open the new S note; 3). tap menu key-edit pages; 4). tap “copy pages from other Notes” in the bottom of the page; 5)select the S note and pages 6)tap done; 7) repeat the process from step 4.

      the audios are embedded in the S Note. Actually it is very easy to retrieve the individual audio files (with audio files, you need find some speech-to-text software app..)

      Please follow these steps to extract the audio files from your S Note:
      1. Backup, backup and backup your S Notes.
      2. copy the S Note files to your PC. The S Notes are saved under sdcard0/SNoteData (Note 3, Note Pro, Note 10.1 2014 edition) OR sdcard0/S Note.
      3. on you PC, install 7zip
      4. right click any S Note file, click 7-zip, click extract to “XXXX\” (XXXX is the file name).
      5, in the XXXX folder, under Attach folder, you can find the audio files.

      Please let me know whether it works. I am actually preparing a video tutorial for this. I would appreciate it if you can feedback any problems with this method.

    Hi!

    I am a teacher who is having students take class notes on the note 10.1 2014. Right now the best way I have found for fast and easy sharing of notes is for them to share as an image file to google + (I have class Note 10.1 linked to a class google + account that the students share). But this is limited to visual content. Is there a way to port an snote to a website with a click (and not send as a file attachment)? Right now the google + account is fed to a class website.

    Alternatively – is there a way to get snote to modify a google doc directly? I cannot seem to find a way to do this, but If I could get snote’s shared as images(or better yet full featured note files) directly into slides in a google presentation, I would be dancing!

    Can you help my student’s and I dance? Thanks!

      Unfortunately, there are no apps that can solve your problem. For exporting the S Note to a website, it depends on the scripts used in the site. Currently, S Note can only share to WordPress powered site. It can insert the image and crate a new post. This requires WordPress for Android app in the tablet and the site must be powered by WordPress.

      For the integration between Google docs or slides aand S Note, I heard nothing about this. You probably still have to export as image, then manually import them into Google slides or Google docs.

      You need check which app drains the battery on the battery usage info page.

      You may follow this old guide to find the culprit app https://allaboutgalaxynote.com/how-to-solve-battery-issues-after-ics-update-in-your-galaxy-note/

      Sometimes, you can try to reboot /restart the galaxy note 8 to see whether the problem persists.

      I did not get your points.

    How do I delete a memo on my Galaxy note 8? When I detach my S-pen and a box pops up on the screen it gives me the option of writing a new memo or I can choose from a list of old memos… How can I delete my old memos that I’ve written? When I tried a message came up saying, “after deleting all pages one new page will be added” but I don’t want a new page to be added, I just want it deleted. How can I do this?

      You can open S Note app and delete the memos.

    , download all my files, export them to PDF format and then import them to s note. If I delete the files From the hard drive will the imported file delete off s note?

    Reply
    • Simon says

      March 23, 2014 at 11:57 pm

      No, the files are independent. Once the file is imported or exported, the changes will not affect the imported or exported file, and vice versa.

      Nowadays, most vendors do not provide hard copy of user manuals. And most functions can NOT be found in user manual as well.

      You can always request a soft copy of the user manual from the local Samsung Service centre, then print it a t home or some printing shops.

      We have some collections of the user manuals for Note series in different languages. You may download them here: https://allaboutgalaxynote.com/user-manual/

    Wish the new eraser wasn’t stupid. What’s wrong with a pixel-for-pixel eraser? I hate that it erases whole areas.

    • Simon says

      November 12, 2013 at 12:02 pm

      You can tap the eraser until the setup box for eraser pops out. You can then change the size of the eraser.

      I agree, Even when I don’t have the ‘erase line by line’ checked, it removes whole chunks. This is notanything to do with the size of the eraser .
