The android app DriveSync will sync Samsung Notes PDFs to drive, and a bunch of other cloud services. Either one way or two way sync. I use it every day. Sync A tablet to Drive with An icon push, then do the same on another tablet or phone. Everything is updated.
too slow though...
Hi! Just a point: there's a configuration setting under display to increase the touch sensitivity, improving the finger usability while using the cover 😉
Hi! Is it possible to remove pressure sensitivity of spen in onenote? I really hope to have a uniform thickness of pen stroke in my notes. Thank you very much!
Great video! I am just now delving into digital planning and am considering going paperless by 2024. I will ne watching a lot of your videos between now and 2024. Thanks for being a great resource!
Glad it was helpful! Wonderful to hear.
All versions of Samsung Notes have sync with OneNote capability. (Samsung and microsoft are partnered, many features sync to microsoft, such as Reminders/ToDo). OneNote does not sync back to snote AFAIK.
As a consultant, I use one note for my project time and meeting notes. I just got the s9 Ultra and have a fold 4, so I'll use one note. Your template looks great.
Great to hear and that is a great pairing.
👍 I’m a teacher, 5 or 6 classes every year, plus some other stuff, and I’ve been using One Note for years. I find it to be the most logical and usable, since I’m on IOS, Windows and Android at the same time.
just got the s9 ultra, and loving your planner. do you have a dark mode version?
Heyy, can you compare the notepaper screen and the privacy screen?
Where can I find that paer lije screen? What is its exact name.
this is fucing awesome. thank you for this video
Hey that is awesome that you are that excited. Thank you.
Wow this is DOPE.
We agree!
Hi, thx for video! I just wanted to add that I was able to get the Windows app version of Samsung Notes. Its not as straight forward as downloading from Microsoft Store on PC but the method is out there and its easily found under a search... I found it to be the MISSING LINK in my note syncing, as One Note is good (I especially like the sticky note syncing) but I just prefer to have all notes in one location!!!
I am going to research that paper writing screen. I want to see if the screen is backward compatible. I started using Samsung Notes with your software. I instead use OneNote as it syncs to my PC. When using the Windows Surface PC, I love that it will sync to all my devices. Using the software is excellent. I want to go totally paperless by Oct. I am doing my best. Thanks for your hard work.
Branden, can you do a video on how to move the page (the background ) to a fresh page? How to unlock the background. Sometimes I want to copy your screen and have it appear twice on the same page.
What is the calendar template you are showing in one note and where do i find?
If you are looking for the templates for OneNote they can be found here: OneNote Planner Shop: bit.ly/3H0n6j5
you doing good work man!
Well, thank you! Love sharing real content.
Great info Branden - was able to narrow down my tablet choice, and really excited to try your planner for 2024! Thanks for taking the time to put this video together - well done.
Thats great to hear. Glad the video was helpful and also thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. Means the most.
Very useful and thanks. Which Note taking app allows inserting a few blank lines between two paragraphs, so I can write something more?
You are welcome. As for adding lines, are you looking for a template or you looking to be able to create your own lines?
Can you attach a back cover to protect the back of the tablet while using that notebook cover
get the Samsung brand SmartBook Cover - you can use the Notescreen along with it at the same time and get the back protection you are looking for
I love Penly!❤
Yes it is a great application, specially if you want to create hyperlinks between pages and notes.
Doesn't that paperlike screen cover wear down the nibs?
It probably does, but probably not much different than writing on the glass. I haven't noticed much change in the last month.
There is a touch sensitivity setting that can be turned on when using thick screen protectors/note paper covers, will be able to type without lifting the cover.
That is a great tip. Where is that setting?
I have a samsung tab s9 ultra, where i can buy the paper screen?
on samsungs website is one good place
Hi Branden, where I can buy that note paper screen, that was cool, I want it
It is available directly from Samsungs website.
This works on the s8 ultra?
Yes everything in this video in terms of software works with the S8. As for the notepaper screen, I am not sure but I don't believe this is the case.
Great video!! In your opinion what is the best out of all the apps mentioned for note taking? Also is there a recommended app for ebook reading similar to “books” on Apple? I’m transferring from an iPad 😅
If you are going to use Samsung products only, then Samsung Notes, if you want to sync across platforms then onenote. Penly is great as a quick app specially with the hyperlink feature
@@bodendorfer thank you this helps a lot
@@bodendorfer Also what do you think is a better note taking tablet the tab S9+ or the s9 ultra?
@@roscoe007 I mean a tablet is always going to be better for intense note-taking its more like a sheet of paper and the screen size is meant for large spaces. Same goes for paper notebooks. we have large ones we keep at our desk and pocket side notebooks that we carry. Well we did at one time. Now we can take our notes at our desk on our tablet and on our phone when on the go and they will sync.
You can and should increase touch sensitivity in the settings=> Display and scroll down, while using the cover
Are you talking about the fingerprint sensor working? That setting update will help with pen ink control but now the fingerprint sensor.
@@DestinationEVTravel No, he has problems with using touch through the paper plastic, there is an option to increase touch sensitivity to accommodate with this problem. Also works great with gloves
Hi, good review.
Can you please advise me which one is better to buy s9 or s9+ ?
I'm a student and its gonna be my first tablet so, I'm bit confused and moreover the major difference between them is screen size!!
Overall the biggest difference is screen size. with a larger device also comes additional advantages like a larger battery, but that is mostly use to make up for the larger screen. All and all, I would choose the size that you best think is best for you. I like the plus because it's near paper like size.
When I heard you said Applebee's in Marshfield. I was wondering if you were talking about WI. I live 15 miles away from Marshfield, so it's nice to know this content creater is close. Thank you for all the tips.
That is awesome to hear. Yes I am located about 7 miles north of Marshfield, in a town called Spencer.
@@bodendorfer I'm in Granton.
@@shilohsjobs Thats awesome. I hope you enjoyed the content.
1:00 Note of clarification, the tablet you're using to demo in the video is the S9+ or S9?
The Tab S9 comes in three sizes. In this video I am using the middle size which is the S9 plus. For note-taking I think this is a great size. The Ultra does allow for an awesome productivity experience with side by size apps, but for me I like to have a tablet that is similar to a sheet of paper.
@@bodendorfer Thanks for confirming. The spacing on the S9+ looks great even on camera.
Have you used the S9+ at all as a handheld? If so, is the size too uncomfortable for its general form factor or even after long usage?
@@reverend_wintondupree Yes, I have used it one handed. I think for my hands it's great. If my wife was holding it she might think its a little to big and hard to balance one-handed. The only reason I would consider the larger one is if it was primarily for media use, second monitor when on the go and for dual app use.
@@bodendorfer Greatly appreciate the feedback. Your video showcased the note taking experience on a flat surface is perfect for the space and size. I plan to do the same but spend almost as much time in my commutes taking notes on my lap or holding the tablet in one hand and writing with the S pen in the other. Great to hear its not too cumbersome when handling the plus version in those situations.
@@reverend_wintondupree I think for your use case, the plus is great. The ultra would be too much to carry when traveling and using one-handed.
I really wish I had this when I was in university. But this tech just did not exist at the tab sadly.
I totally hear you!
Branden, I'm really confused. I just bought a A9+ to enter to the world of paperless note taking and implementing an app for my work. I have two problems. Apologies if these are Noob issues, I'm really stuck. First, the S-Pen I bought from Amazon doesn't work. It's branded as Samsung. I looked in the settings menu to pair it and could not find the right commands. The only stylus that works are the cheap rubber tipped pens found by a number of vendors. Secondly, I bought a MOBDIK screen protector to "make it feel more like paper" as advertised. Now, even the rubber stylus does not work, even my finger is intermittent. I'm sure these are all very basic questions. I'm really stuck. Thank you for the informative videos, will be following. Thank you very much!
Jeff - No worries here. A couple of things the A series tablets don't support the S Pen. You would need to get the S Tabs to work with the S pens. You can find some pens that work with the A series but it's not the same as the S Pen. As for a paper like feeling, you will most likely want a hard tip on your stylus with a screen cover. The soft tips don't work well with the matte finished covers.
Great video! Will the note paper screen work with samsung tab s7 plus? Because im using s7plus which still works wonderfully and i dont want to upgrade..
Thanks for the comment. At this time, I believe the note screen only works on the S9. However, you could still look at a paper like screen cover for your S7.
@@bodendorfer thank you
How can I get that template? It’s amazing. Great video.
Thank you for the comment on the video! You can find the planner at www.key2successplanner.com
Does it work on the S7+?
Yes it does. Matter of fact I have an S7 still myself.
@@bodendorfer would you suggest this over a paperlike screen protector?
@@_blankato9336 I would say yes to that, because at times I like to remove the cover and have a media experience without the finish that a paper like cover would provide.
@@bodendorfer Thank you for your answer.
So I cannot use a case if i use the NotePaper Screen?
It would be difficult unless you find a case that allows the one side open. I would look for a case that allows for a keyboard.
Great review 👍
BTW, your last name sounds very GERMAN!
Thx from Munich... 😉
It is!
@@bodendorfer I know 😉
Can note paper screen be used over an existing screen protector?
Very likely, however I wouldn't recommend it.
@@bodendorferwhy you won't recommend?
I have the same question. I already have the antireflection screen cover, and I love it because the screen conserves the brightness, and I am interested in the note paper screen only for writing, but I want to use it over the screen protector that I already have, have you try it?
For anyone who is wondering, This Note Paper Screen also works if you already have another screen protector on!
I just received mine today and have a temper glass screen protector already applied and it works Flawlessly!
Since no one talks about this on UA-cam I figure I share this information!
Hope it helps! 💖💎🙌∞
The paper screen cover is really not at all neccessary at all and a waste of money. Been taking notes on the Galaxy Tab s8 Ultra for the last year and a half just fine.
Yours without any protector or you have a glass one?
@@therightchoice8292 I definitely have a glass one on it. I highly recommend a glass screen protector. Because even the keyboard case that you purchase with it can scrap the screen. I notice it has left a small scrap on the screen protector itself. It doesn't scrap it easily. It is likely due to me having it in my bag with a lot of other stuff causing it to press up against the screen more.
Honestly the android version of Onenote is like sheet (like compare to the ios version let alone the desktop version), like Microsoft doesn't even care about it.
It’s really odd because generally android connects much better with windows.
Though tbh onenote performs terribly on my 12.9 inch iPad Pro 3. So laggy and crashes all the time. I’m surprised everyone says it’s so good on iPad, seems bad on both to me
@@IceBlueLugia I never experience Onenote on iPad but as I heard, Onenote on ipad has more features than Onenote on android. For example ink to text, pen color, ... Using Onenote on android only has basic features like drawing and inserting image
Onenote is lacking so many functions on tablets
The android version of OneNote does lack all the luster that the Windows desktop version offers. However, if you want a tablet for taking notes, it is still great. Then you can access all those features on your devices.
My stuff ain't like that..
This is an s9+ not an s9 isn't it?
This is the S9 Plus.
You talk too much and show too little. No one wants to keep looking at you gesticulating when the tablet is the whole point of the video. You mention apps without opening or pointing at them, you talk about liking certain features like the S Pen without diving deeper into functionality... This whole video feels very superficial and slow to get to the point.
Hey you might have your opinion. Which is healthy. You should make your own video and take a run at it and post the link here.
Sorry, but you talk way way too much, and you didn't show anything, it is probably why your dislikes are at 13%
1. You should have shown how it sounds, and you should have done more writing.
2. You should have shown sketching and note taking features.
3. You mentioned features at the start of the video, but you did not show them.
4. You didn't do any scientific measurements, such as writing with the cover, and without.
Sorry mate, but this was a very poor video.
Sorry Mate, but you nee to work on your math skills. Dislikes are 3%. As for your points. Those are good topics, however we are not here to show scientific measurements, but just general use. Most people don't care about the tech specs, they care if it works and if it will be an improvement in their life.
I am sorry mate, but if you think you can do a video with more details and get higher engagement, then I suggest you do so. Feel free to send me the link and I will happy publish a blog promoting it. Until then, I will just smile and wish you well.
@@bodendorfer if he would do that by himself, what was the purpose of watching your vid 😅. I was also thinking what tablet size would be better for notetaking but here comes the part, I would like to not 24 hours on a desk ..so on a couch or maybe lying down..I cannot find really good vids on that, what is your opinion..s9 or the plus? and can you hold it with one hand
@@confidential303 Good point! I appreciate the comment for sure. I like like to engage with everyone. As for the size of the device. I like the plus, not the ultra for taking notes. I am very happy with that size.
