The Galaxy Note 10.1 is Samsung’s latest flagship in the tablet category. It is a great device with amazing specs and the magical S Pen. The tablet device is available in three variants depending on connectivity. Thus, we have the following models: Galaxy Note 10.1 (3G + WiFi) GT-N8000, Galaxy Note 10.1 (WiFi) GT-N8010, Galaxy Note 10.1 (LTE + WiFi) GT-N8020. The Galaxy Note 10.1 was launched back in August 2012. Below is a detailed article describing all possible Galaxy Note 10.1 tips and tricks.
Some of the major features of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 include 10.1″ WXGA (1280 x 800 px) LCD display, 1.4GHz Exynos Quad-Core Processor, 2 GB RAM, 5 Megapixel Auto Focus main camera with LED Flash, 1.9 Megapixel front camera, and a 7,000mAh Li-ion battery.
Well, I have already written a tips and tricks article for the Samsung Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note 2 and the Google Nexus 4. I wanted to write this article two months ago but was always rolled back because of the lengthiness of such posts. Finally, here is a simple guide for not-too-well-informed Galaxy Note 10.1 users that will attempt to illuminate your understanding of this huge tablet with S Pen.
Info: Please note that the guide is based on the Galaxy Note 10.1 (N8000) with Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean.

Galaxy Note 10.1 Tips and Tricks
Setup Quick Launch
The Galaxy Note 10.1 has a very nice feature in the form of the Quick Launch icon at the bottom that can be used as an app or function shortcut. By default, the Quick Launch onscreen button is set to capture a screenshot by a single touch. You can assign a different shortcut to it, such as applications, search, and camera. Go to Settings> Display> Quick Launch and select a shortcut.
Show or Hide Applications
Your Galaxy Note 10.1 comes with a lot of apps pre-installed on it. While most of these apps are useful, there are some which we generally do not use at all. Such apps only crowd the app drawer and make it harder to navigate the installed apps. Well, you can easily hide any app from the list. Just tap on the options icon found on the top-right corner when you are inside the app menu and select Uninstall option. Tick the apps that you want to hide and then tap on Done t the top corner.
Later when you want to bring the hidden apps to the front, open app drawer, tap on the options icon and select Show Hidden Applications, uncheck the apps you want to show, save the changes by tapping on Done. This is one of the most useful Galaxy Note 10.1 tips.
Manage and Rearrange Apps
If you want to manage your installed apps on the app drawer, you can do it easily. While pressing and holding an app or widget brings it to the homescreen, you can rearrange the apps manually by choosing the Edit option from the app drawer (see above screenshot). In the edit mode, you can long-press an icon to drag (left or right) it to place it on another page or even on the same page. If you have to uninstall an app, tap on the options icon after entering the app drawer and select Uninstall option.
Launch the Notification Panel
All Android phones have a common way of opening the Notification drawer, and that is swiping down the status bar. Being a tablet device, the Galaxy Note 10.1 has a different way of opening the notification center. Swipe up your finger from the bottom tray where the time, network and notification icons are displayed.
Get Better Battery Life on Note 10.1:
The 10.1″ LCD display of the Galaxy Note 10.1 is good to look at but it drinks a lot your battery’s juice. When it comes to battery backup this device does not have a very good performance despite of the massive 7,000mAh. In such a situation, it is better to use and configure in such a way that you might enjoy a longer battery life. Here are a few tips and tricks that will surely let you enjoy a better battery life on your Galaxy Note 2. Read the following guides and follow the instructions given over there.
Turn off the TalkBack Mode on Galaxy Note 10.1
The TalkBack mode is a very useful feature, especially for blind people, that activates voice mode on your device. You device speaks out your actions. In this mode, the regular scrolling and swiping gestures are deactivated. If you have accidentally suck on the TalkBack mode on your Note 10.1, here is how you can turn Talkback off.
Using the Multi Window/Multiscreen/Multitasking Feature
The Galaxy Note 10.1 takes advantage of its big-screen too well. It is very similar to the multi-window feature of the Galaxy Note 2 and S3, but working with two or more windows opened simultaneously on the Note 10.1 is a delicious treat. Such features fade the fine-line between PCs and tablets. Multi-Window lets you view and use multiple applications simultaneously, which you can move around and re-size.
Here is how you can launch and use this cool feature. Tap on the arrow icon the bottom tray (see above) and open an app, tap the multi-screen launcher again and select another app from the tray to open another app. Now you have two apps opened in different windows. The multi-screen feature on Galaxy Note 10.1 has two modes: Cascade View offers a flow patterned view of multiple applications (up to 16) adjusting to your daily tasks for flawless apps management. Dual View allows two main apps to be viewed side-by-side vertically or horizontally. You can choose or change the mode this way: open the multi-screen tray then tap on the icon found on the left edge of the bottom tray. You can move the opened app panes by tapping and holding the top bar of a specific window. You can also resize the app window by tap+hold a dragging the right bottom corner.
See this official video showing the multitasking feature in action:
Air View Feature on Note 10.1
The Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean update added another cool feature called Air View with which you can conveniently and quickly preview your contents without having to open it. It is an S Pen specific feature and works in apps like gallery, calendar mails, video and S Note. Pull out the S Pen, press and hold the button on it and hover its pointer over an item to see a quick preview. You can see the frames of a video clip by hovering the S Pen pointer on the video progress bar.
Besides, the Air View feature is also useful in some other ways. If you do not know what a UI button (icon) stands for, simply hover the S Pen over it to get a quick introduction. The S Pen can also be used to scroll a list of items on your device up or down. Hover the Pen over the top or bottom of an email and or message list. to scroll up or down. This feature will work in any app where scrolling can be used. If the feature is not working for you, make sure you have activated it from Settings> S Pen> Air View.
Using and Customizing the Quick Command Settings
One more interesting thing that you can enjoy with the S Pen is the Quick Command feature. The S Pen quickly activates applications and services people use most often. It makes actions like sending an email, calling or sending a text message to your friend, sharing the meeting location and so many other things very easy and intuitive. To enable the quick command mode, press and hold the button on S Pen and drag it to upward from bottom on the device screen. You will see a quick command dialog box. You can use one of the preset gestures to open applications, turn on/off services like WiFi, Data, Bluetooth, etc. Besides, you can also create your own gestures for certain actions by tapping on the “+” icon. Having set up a pen gesture, do not forget to save it by tapping the Done button on the top right corner.
Galaxy Note 10.1 S Pen Functions and Actions

- While drawing or writing anything with the S Pen, you can create thin or thick lines simply by decreasing or increasing writing pressure. You need not make a line width selection from the pen/brush menu.

Note 10.1 Pop-Up Video and Other Tips
The Pop Up Video feature was introduced for the first time with the Galaxy Note 2 and then it rolled to Galaxy S3. The Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean update for the Galaxy Note 10.1 brought the Pop-Up video feature to our device too. Having activated this feature you can see a pop up on the top of your screen and thus you can enjoy a video while doing any other thing. You can drag this pop up pane to any area of the screen and even resize it.
Let’s take a look at the video player options on the Galaxy Note 10.1. Open the Video Player app and while a video is being played, tap on the screen. You will see a screen like one shown above. You can see four icons in the top bar. The first one from the left is a screen capture icon, tapping which you can screenshot a video screen. Next to the screenshot button, you have the Pop Up Video play icon. By tapping the third one, you can see the list of available options. Finally, the icon at the top-right corner lets you play the video in multiscreen mode.
Keep Away Unwanted Callers and Other Notifications
The Android 4.1.1 update added a new feature to the Note 10.1 called the Blocking Mode. When this mode is enabled, notifications for selected features are disabled. However, you can create an allowed people list from the settings to receive calls only from them. Go to Settings> Blocking Mode and turn on the Blocking mode. To customize this option tap on the option itself.
Remove Yellow Square from Photos
The Galaxy Note 2 has the Face Tag feature which recognizes a human face on any image and lets you add a tag/name to it from your contacts list. If you do not want the yellow square to be shown on your images, do this: open the Gallery app and ten open a photo that shows the yellow square on it. When the image is open, tap on the option/menu icon on the top bar (see below) and open “Face Tag” option and turn off the feature. The irritating yellow thing will not bother you now anymore.
Here I end my list of Galaxy Note 10.1 tips and customization tricks that will help you use this device better way.
I have a N8020 on bootloop and usb debugging mode is off. Is there anything I could do to it?
Odd. My profile says I haven’t commented yet but I could swear I left a comment here…
I’ll post it again; sorry if it’s a repeat.
I was wondering if there was a way to enable S Pen Touch Only mode so that one could rest their hand on the screen while using the S Pen without it scrambling inputs.
Thanks in advance.
No, you can’t do that. 🙁
Aw, sadness. Alright; was worth a shot. Thanks, anyway! ^^

I looked at the user guide and a few youtube videos and supposedly I should be able to save a cropped image and then drag it over to s-note or something. Whenever I crop the image, it gets saved in my gallery and disappears. Any help would be appreciated!

How to delete empty pages on home screen??? Pls
Just pan your 2 fingers from 2 corners of your Note’s screen, You will be able to see all screens as tiles. Tab the screen you want to delete and you’ll have the option to delete it.
Note 10.1 (N8000): make the pinch gesture somewhere near the center and a bit away from the corners to show pages as tiles and edit them (add, delete, rearrange).

Hi, I would like to know is their anyway to keep the notification panel from launching while taking hand written notes? It seems while writing the bottom of my palm keeps keeps touching the notification panel and popping it up in the while I am writing.
Well, there is not option to make notification passive to touch. Just be careful while using notes.

Hi there !
I’m the happy owner of a note 10.1 since about a year, and it’s really a great machine.
However, it suddenly started to talk aloud while browsing applications and home screen pages: “the folder is open”, “page 3 of 4”, etc..
It’s NOT the TalkBack feature.
Anyone have any idea how to disable it?
Hi, I just bought Note 10.1 and have som problems when using with Line as follows: 1. When making vedio calls, my face in the camera is not vertical. It is either upside down or lies on the side. Have been trying many ways, yet can’t solve this problem.
2. I can’t save any video when people send through LINE. I can’t see any option to save. Hope someone knows how to solve these problems.
Why have I not got wifi direct on my galaxy 10.1
How do I delete all messages in my gmail. I don’t see an option to delete all messages at once like on my laptop. Can anyone help me with this? Thank you Nancy
Well, that option is not available on mobile devices for security reasons. However, there is still a way that lets you mark as many mails as you want and delete them collectively.
Open Gmail app, tap on the mail thumbnails to mark them.
On my note 10.1 runing 4.1.2 I can’t find a way to change the notification panel, it has disappeared from display settings. Hope can I change them?
I don’t want to receive notifications and want to remove the Gmail icon from the system bar notification area. I guess the same can be done to other applications (like Facebook), but how can I do that? TIA.
I am not familiar with any such method. You can get such apps modified and make those icons transparent to make them invisible.
I found a way to stop Gmail notifications: after I got a new one of them I opened the notification panel and kept the Gmail message pressed. This caused a Gmail settings window to appear and there I unchecked the option to display notifications. I was kind of lucky… But I still couldn’t find a way to stop Facebook’s.
LOL, I really missed the app settings thing. I took a look on FB app settings and found notification disabling option there. Open app, tap on Menu icon (3 horizontal lines), scroll to App Settings and uncheck the Notifications option.
When I wanted to print from my new Galaxy Note 10.1 tonight for the first time a “UPS print” popped up, looking like a defaulted setting. My HP wireless printer was grayscaled. I do not anticipate using the mobile printing service, thus need to delete so that I print automatically to my HP. HOW DO I DELETE THE UPS ICON?
Thank you for you assistance!
GT-N8010 – bought used. Re removal of icons in app drawer. Following your instructions,tapped options icon, tapped uninstall, but no ‘done or cancel’ appears, only a block of squares and the word uninstall on upper left. Fiddled with these but to no avail.
Problem 2 – following instructions from others – cant’ find ‘bookmarks’ .
Show me the screenshot, Helen. The Uninstall option works only with 3rd-party apps, not with Samsung apps.
So my problem seems to have been that I was trying to uninstall Samsung apps- there are so many that it would be nice to at least hide them. I have now tried to uninstall a 3rd party app – successfully, however the screen does not app as you have described ie the words ‘done’ and ‘cancel’ in the upper right.
I tapped the options button on the upper right
-then tapped uninstall
-tapped and held the icon to be deleted
– the word ‘uninstall’ appears upper left with a symbol beside it
– tapped the symbol
-a box asking for confirmation to uninstall appears
-tapped uninstall, icon disappears.
Sorry I cant send a ‘screenshot, as requested because I don’t know how ! Thanks for your help.
Hi Helen, you can easily capture a screenshot by simply tapping the icon on the Status bar below the screen or by tapping the S-Pen tip on the screen with button pressed. You can find the method in detail on the article above.
I want to know if you can hide the dual pane icon in the bottom right hand of the screen ? The icon blocks several functions including dropping to the next line when typing with swift key for tablets and when I want to add photos on facebook.
Sorry Carl, you cannot hide that icon. I know it is a little convenient sometimes. 🙁
Thanks 🙁 lol
I know what you mean and it’s a lot more than a little inconvenient!!!!!it actually takessome of the functionality away from some of my apps!!!!!I’ve been a lifelong Samsung fan and I’m starting to wonder if I’m going to buy a Samsung next time?
Hi I just bought the Note 10.1 and would like to know what’s the easiest way to connect it to an elmo projector. I’m a teacher, it would be very helpful if I can do this in my class. The only way I read was through the hdtv adapter (which is kinda pricey) then connecting an hdmi to vga adapter. Is there an easier way? The projector has vga, rca, and s-video connections. Thank you.
I have a samsung galaxy note 10.1 that I just recently bought. I by mistake hit something on the keyboard and now its a note pad. How can I change it back to keyboard.
Thank you
Kamlesh
Open Settings> Language and Input> and change keyboard type from there.
How do I add downloaded apps to the mult app split screen function?
what do you mean to say? Can you show me a screenshot?
Unfortunately not. I will describe the situation. This device has a dual screen/ multi application function where apps may run side by side on the desktop. However, the type of apps that may utilize this function are limited. I want to download and place 2 apps into the dual screen menu for simultaneous operation.
Hi Diego, I think you are talking about Dual View and Cascade View feature. I have a Note 10.1 too and so I can tell you it doesn’t support 3rd party apps so far.
However, if you root your device and install a custom ROM, you can have this feature:
https://www.droidviews.com/install-omega-rom-on-your-samsung-galaxy-note-10-1-gt-n8000n8010n8013/
https://www.droidviews.com/root-and-install-cwm-recovery-on-samsung-galaxy-note-10-1-n8000-n8010-n8013-n8020/
Is it possible to change the default saving locations of documents?
Are you using Polaris Office?
I would also like to know this. For example, when I download docs from various apps, the doc saves in that apps default folder on the external sd card. Yahoo attachments go to the Yahoo folder, Pdfs go to the iannotate Folder (my chosen app for Pdfs), images I download to the ‘download’ folder. I want all docs I download to go to a folder I created.
Hi, my samsung note does not have the multitask choice when i open f.ex. the internet och s- note. How can I get it?
In some US, Canadian and Australian variants, the feature is not found. Try a firmware upgrade. I guess you have either Note 10.1 N8013 or N8020.
However, you can still have multitasking by using some 3rd party apps. Have a look here to find one: https://www.droidviews.com/category/downloads/android-apps/
Okay so it only workd ob those notes? I have N8000, it worked in the store on the note they had on display and so i thoguht it wouod work ob the one I bought :s and thank kyou for the quick reply!

Hello,
I recently bought a Note 10.1 but in my tablet no matter what I choose as an option, the function of “Settings> S Pen Settings> Options after Detaching S Pen option” is not working. I tried several different apps to load when I detach the s-pen but no success. Also, while working with the SNote, the app does not recognize my strokes which is expected to give me flexibility with enter, space, delete and so on. when I make a stroke of inverted “L” which is “go to next line” function while writing, it does not cares about my gesture, but write “y” or “j”. 🙂
What can I do? What might be the reason for that?
Option delete is not there
I have taken a photo and i want to delete it but i can’t as the delete option is not there but in the another photos its there but for this specific photo its not there .
It wrote in the pic auto backup
How can i delete ???
Sound weird!
Have you installed any third party backup app? What do you mean by “It wrote in the pic auto backup”?
Anyway, find out the name of the image file, open My Files app, go to DCIM and open camera folder. You can easily delete that file from these. You can also use a computer and delete this image.
I delete the file as you say but when i return back to the gallery picture is still there.
In the pic you will fing that it wrote auto backup
You know also i have reset all the settings and delete all data on device and i found that every thing removed except this pic
Ah, now I understand that. Actually, it is a synced image that is downloaded from your GOOGLE+ (Picassa) acount. Go to Settings> Accounts> Google, tap on gmail ID and uncheck the sync photos from picassa option.
I removed the sync mark ,so that it will not make a sync any more with picasa but still when am returning back to the gallery delete option is not there
Now delete from file manager and it should be gone.
When I open a photo it no longer gives the option of what app to open it with. Any ideas?
Hi, it is because you have selected the app that currently opens the image as default. Go to Settings> Application Manager> All. Select that app and cler the defaults. It should be okay then.
Thanks mate. That worked perfectly. #genius

Is there any way to lock or disable the notification center? I use the s note app all the time and when writing or sketching, my palm grazes the scren there before the s pen is noticed by the app, opening the notification center, and often launching anothe app. Extremely fristrating when trying to take notes in a meeting. Any suggestions?
Hi Tony, unfortunately there is no way to move, lock or hide the status/quick bar. I just checked it on my Note 10.1 but did not find any way to do that.
My notification sounds fail to play when i recieve a new messagee from whatsapp and facebook or other messages. The sound plays when i recieve calls anyway. Please help. This was not the situation when i first had the device. Please help. morps2000@gmail.com
Did you ever get sound notifications for any of these apps? If yes, when did you notice it first?
Yes sir, i got the sound notifaications earlier on till anout three months ago when it ceazed.
I realized that icon in the right bottom corner
Okay, check that notification sound on your device is ON. Also, open WhatsApp settings and set a custom notification tone. Let me know..
Ok sir,
I did, when i was doing that for the whatsapp, the i could here the sounds before i selected one (whistle) but when i went to settings and tried to select a default notification, though i check the box for sounds and vibration. No sound was played
Okay press the Volume up or down key and tap on settings icon on the popup and set the Notification sounds to full and try again.
Ok sir, thats what came up, the notification bar moves up or down like the other but no sound is heard either increasing or decreasing
Please take a close look at the notification icon, is that how it is supposed to be?
Great tip! Im wondering if theres anyway to move the task bar/rearrange for lefties? Everytime I use the pen, I tend to hit the screenshot button.
Well , I am sure it it works on all versions of Note 10.1 or not but try pressing and holding the Screenshot icon and dragging to some other location on the bar. You can also disable the Screenshot icon from Settings> Display> Quick Launch.
Thanks! I couldnt move stuff aeound, so finally I disabled the screenshot button. Its reduced unwanted touches since, but theres still the home and return buttons, but not so often as the screenshot
You can capture the screenshot by pressing the S Pen tip on any screen with S button pressed.
Got it! Thanks very much for your help!

Hello, I just bought the Sumsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Wifi + 3G but when I turned it, it never gave me chance to setup the time and language, as such the clock is not correct and menus are in Dutch. How do I change to English and also setup the correct time???
Hi Anthony, both the tasks are very easy to do. To set device language to English, open Settings> Language and input> and tap on Language. From the list select English. Now go back and also change the language of the keyboard. To do that, go to Settings> Language and input and tap on the settings icon in from of “Samsung Keyboard”, then select Input language and change it.
To setup time, open Settings, scroll down and tap on Data and Time, select you time zone and save changes. See the attached image.

Here it is
Thanks very much for the support, I have managed to change everything now!! Very much appreciated!!!

Hey quick question, where is the tab function key on the samsung keyboard. My eyes are going cross eyed reading the manual to no avale. Any help would be great!
I have using Note 10.1 and other Samsung devices for long time and I have never seen any such key on Samsung keyboard or any other Android mobile device. Anyways, I looked for it again but as I said there is no such key.
Hi, I just noticed that some of my icons are missing, checked the hidden apps area and there is none, but when check at the application manager, apps are existing, can u help me to restore the icons, thanks
Show Hidden apps feature shows only those apps that have been hidden by the user him/herself. The all applications shows both the normal apps that you see in the app drawer and those that run many features and background processes. You cannot have them all in app list but they do their function.
Anyways, can you name a few apps that you believe they should be in app drawer?
Thanks, I downloaded adobe AIR, its not visible in the drawer, but the application manager shows, likewise samsung push etc, is there any funtion that we can find applications?

Alternatively, you can also capture the screen this way: http://droidviews.com/2013/how-to-take-a-screenshot-on-samsung-galaxy-tab-2-7-0-with-jelly-bean-firmware/
Hope it helps!
Woo hoo, thanks so much!
Not sure how it disappeared but it’s back now, thanks to you. 🙂
Nice! It was already described in the guide above.
Oh woops! Hmm, I see it now…as the first thing! :/ Haha!
I just bought the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. I also have the original Galaxy Note phone. On the phone, I have S Memos. On the tablet, I have S Notes. Is there any way to transfer the S Memos to S Notes? If so, how? Thanx.
Hi Joanne, all memos are found in the S Memo folder on the phone’s memory. You can transfer them to your Note 10.1 via Bluetooth or WiFi direct etc. After sending, try opening them on your Note 10.1. It should work. Unfortunately, I could not try it as my Note 10 is at service center for repairing.
I’m trying to install Flash viewer on my Galaxy Note 10.1 with Android 4.1.2. I’ve downloaded FP 10.3 but I can’t figure out how to install it. The file is playerglobal10_3.swc.
I just got the Galaxy 10.1 GT-P5113 and I want to know how to extend the time i can record videos. It shuts off at an hour now.
how can i save an image from facebook on note 10.1 ??
I just tested it but since there is no saving option it does not seem to be possible in a direct way. However, I figured out a rounded way for that:
Open the Facebook and tap on the photo when it is full screen (with black background) tap on the menu icon to see options and select “more”. Here you’ll see “share” option. Now you’ll get share option. Select Bluetooth email, picasa, s memo, wifi direct (whatever suits you). You can then retrieve that image.
By opening in with S Memo, you can save that image as a Jpeg file in your gallery using import option. Still easier is to capture a screenshot when it is fulscreen and then crop it. Images can also be imported from picasa in your gallery.
Hi I’m trying to use the feature where you take a screen shot with multiview open with say for example the internet and s note. I want to crop an image from the screen shot and drag and drop to s note as shown in multiple videos. However everytime I take the screen shot it doesnt allow me to drag and drop it just saves the crop to my pictures. How can I change this so it works like the demonstration videos?
Thanks for the great article!
Can I disable S pen’s feature, such as
8. Press and hold the S Pen button and draw a shape to make an image clip?
I am trying to write using Papyrus, and dragging the button should give me lasso tool to move what I have written, not saving the image.
If I can choose to disable S pen’s feature in specific app, it would be perfect!
Thank you.
Hi, you cannot define S Pen settings depending on separate apps. All settings are globally effective and unfortunately the feature you want is not available so far.
Thank you for your answer. Can I disable the button behavior globally? I don’t want it to make an image clip when I drag the pen with holding the button.
in your email i send my question.. Thank you

I have just added a video under this head:
Using the Multi Window/Multiscreen/Multitasking Feature:
see it. It might help you.
Hello, i bought samsung galaxy note 10.1, but in polaris office, s note and the other i can not found multi screen to make multitasking, why? Any problem with my note? Thank you so much
Hi Christina.
The multitasking mode works on 2 type of views- dual and cascade. In dual mode you can see two apps windows running side by side and in cascade mode you can many many floating windows with different apps opened and it works with app apps as you can see in my screenshots above.
When you open an app, you will see a window icon on the top right corner. You have to tap that icon to turn fullscreen into half-screen or smaller window.
If you still need help, let me know. Cheers!
Hello!
I’m having a problem with the quick command feature on my new Galaxy Note 10.1 running Jelly Bean. I tried to change the Email command to open up Gmail instead of the Stock email application and it won’t work. Under commands, I changed the “email” command to Gmail so that it will use the “@” when writing the quick command. It will give an option for which email address to use for the contact, and once it’s clicked, nothing happens. I even tried creating a new command for Gmail using a different symbol and it does the same thing. All the other commands work. Is there an option in Gmail to make this work or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Katie,
Sorry for the late reply. I could not see your comment notification. Anyways, I have tested the Quick Settings feature and found that it works fine and should work for you too. I am adding the tutorial in this article. Please visit the page again after an hour.
Regards!
I have tried to make the tip clearer by elaborating it and added a few screenshots. First of all, try choosing an easy gesture for Gmail or any other app and then launch the QC box and write it accurately. I have tested and every thing worked just fine. Hope it helps you, If you still have problem let me know.
Dear Rakesh
On my newly purchased Note 10.1 (Canada) the S note application does not have an icon for “Handwriting to text” and I have no idea how to get pen writing to convert of recognized text. I have tried the settings (nothing) obvious, have updated to Jellybean and have googled with words describing the problem. More specifically the upper left has FOUR icons: page inset toggle; pen, underlined T and eraser. THERE IS NO fifth icon for handwritng to text like the one shown in the various samsung and web materials..
Thanks for any help.

Hi Mike,
When I wrote this article my Note 10.1 had Android 4.1.1 (India) and after upgrading to 4.1.2, I still have that option. If your device is not carrier branded (I guess you have a branded one), yu can try a firmware from another country. Look here http://droidviews.com/tag/samsung-galaxy-note-10-1/
can i use any printer with my galaxy note 10.1? or only samsung
You can use any that is compatible and supports mobile devices.
Hi, I have just started using my galaxy note 10.1. All of a sudden, the bottom tray, which has the home/back and the time buttons, has gone missing. I am not able to restore it back. Could you pls help me out
Hi Srikanth,
Sorry for the late reply 9was busy with some serious issues with the site). Anyways, your case is a rare one and I think it is a bug in the firmware itself. I spent an hour to find out a setting on my Note 10.1 but no help. Here are a few things you can try:
Reboot the device 4-5 times,
Reset the phone to factory settings: Settings> Backup and reset> Factory data reset
If it still persists, install a new firmware: check your device model from Settings> About and download a firmware, follow this link if you wish to install the firmware: http://droidviews.com/tag/samsung-galaxy-note-10-1/
Hi
Thanks for the help. It worked after reboot.
Hi there
I recently bought n8000 tablet and i enjoy it a lot
I like this : Its 10″ display, Stylus writing and hand typing recognition , powerful cpu, 2 gb ram much useful for multi-tasting , Samsung apps (i can pay for apps using Sim card)
l dislike : no resume downloading ‘in google play, no good games come pre-loaded. no sd card install
I recommend this tablet to readers.
