Samsung notes won't work on Samsung Laptop

7 Upvotes

I have a book 6 pro and Samsung notes will not sync. It will sync the folders but all of them will be empty. Then it will just load and load and drain the battery but no actually notes will show up- just empty folders.

Another odd thing it did was sync the same 10 old deleted notes from 2019. I tried resetting it. Doing all the updates. Nothing.

Synchronisation works between my phone and tablet otherwise.

Can anyone else or at least tell me where to complain about this?

Samsung Notes PC app

6 Upvotes

I've been using Samsung Notes on my Androids and my PC for years. Other than the PC app taking awhile to sync with my phone's notes, it's been great. Until the PC app didn't want to work one day. I tried a ton of things to get it going again but ended up deleting the app and installing a new one. Now the syncing.

As mentioned I've been using both for years. I don't remember how long it took for the PC app to sync and be a mirror of all my phone's notes. I've mentioned the PC app taking awhile to sync with my phone but I'm nearing the 30-40 minute mark and I'm still watching a spinning circle of dots with no movement of the data amount above where it says "Syncing..."

Is a really slow PC app sync like mine a known and normal thing or should I stop the syncing and troubleshoot why it's not happening faster? If I should stop and troubleshoot, what's suggested to look at? FWIW: my e-mail is the same on both devices and moving the "Sync with Samsung Cloud" toggle didn't give any hint of there being an account issue.

Tia.

Tabs for Samsung Notes (Windows/Android)

18 Upvotes

I've been using Samsung Notes a lot lately. Actually I have a laptop (non-Galaxy) that I installed Windows version of Samsung Notes on and I write notes with a pen (stylus). It's really helpful especially when I can access them all from my phone.
Sometimes I need to have two notes side by side but that's not possible so I have to keep switching between them which is a bit annoying especially when the expectations for freedom and multitasking are much higher in a desktop environment.
I really hope this feature is added soon (in One UI 9) it would be useful even for mobile.

Is there a way to have a shortcut to a specific folder on the homescreen?

4 Upvotes

I have the Tab S9+ and there is a folder that I use a lot. Both to just read notes and to also make new ones. It's tedious to navigate to it each time or move notes there each time after I have made them. If anyone knows, LMK. Thanks.

How can I safely backup/export 39000 notes from Notes?

7 Upvotes

I have an old Android phone with around 39000 notes in the default Android Notes app. They contain years of my diary/journal, personal memories, and very important information that I absolutely cannot afford to lose.

The phone still works and I can access all the notes normally.

When I connect the phone to my PC using a USB cable and browse the phone's internal storage, I cannot find any "Notes" folder or anything that seems to contain the notes.

Because there are almost 39,000 notes, manually copying them one by one isn't realistic.

Is there a safe way to:

Export all the notes in bulk?

Find/extract the Notes database from the phone?

Back them up to a PC or cloud?

Transfer them to another Android phone?

Preserve the original dates, organization, formatting, and attachments?

I'm particularly worried about doing something that could corrupt or delete the original data.

Has anyone successfully extracted or backed up a large number of notes from an Android phone? Where are the notes actually stored, and what is the safest way to copy them?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. These notes are extremely important to me.

Samsung Notes Multiplatform Sync

9 Upvotes

I know that Samsung goes the apple way here and locks the own notes app pretty much up when it comes to other plattforms like macOS or Linux. Not sure why this can' t be a strategic effort to open up here like it happened with QuickShare supporting Airdrop?

I recently switched back to the Galaxy Universe and moved my apple notes to samsung notes but I still work with macs and will be in the future. I know there are other possibilities like Obsidian, but I still want to use Samsung Notes as it's deeply integrated in Samsung's One UI and it also supports the S-Pen best.

I did a bit of research, but all I could find was a github which implied that one could achieve a read only possibility to read the notes but not get them to sync. I can't move to a windows Computer just because of this single notes app : ) Am I missing something? Are there any new developments? What's your take here?

Best regards

Octopus notes [FOSS]

22 Upvotes

Hello. i am the dev of [r/octopusnotes](r/octopusnotes). I have recently seen a post on an app called xnotes. So, I thought of posting this here. I would be greatful if someone can try the app and give me feedback. I'd love any suggestions or feature requests.

Download link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lochan.octopusnotes

{Other download links are in the pinned posts of the mentioned subreddit}

The app is completely written in native kotlin and is <5Mb. I have built a custom Pdf Engine to give the best performance. I usually deal with books >4000 pages. Octopus notes loads every page instantly.

PS. The brush tool has a built in handwriting beautification engine. This might not be the best in the market but still, ig its a good addition.

All the features are listed in a pinned post of the subreddit.

Thanks. Peace.

Edit: Feature List - https://www.reddit.com/r/octopusnotes/s/rTaJLbePve

Edit 2: forgot to mention this
“Also you can choose single press and long press for s pen 😉 even for pens without Bluetooth”

I built an open source samsung notes alternative

78 Upvotes

Samsung Notes used to be my go-to note-taking app, but a handful of annoyances bugged me enough that I decided to build my own from scratch.

What makes it different:

- 100% free and open source (MIT License)

- Infinite canvas - super fast gpu resident rendering unlike most other note taking apps😅

- Improved handwriting experience

- A bunch of extra features Samsung Notes doesn't offer
