MobileNoter for Android 0.9 Beta 2

12/25/2010 3:42:05 PM #

With Beta 2, Mobilenoter will not sync with my PC over wi-fi. This worked with no problems when I installed Beta 1.

I installed the mobilenoter sync client (version 2.3.4) on the PC and Beta 2 on my Android phone. I entered the PC's IP address in the configuration and selected a Wi-Fi sync.

When I click the Sync button, I see a "Please pair your device with the PC" message. However, the message gives no instructions on now to do this.

The instructions on the website indicate that I should see a "Pairing PIN" window on the phone after entering the PC's IP address. However, no such window appears, nor do I get an error message indicating that the window failed to appear.

Ink still gets messed up and if I zoom in, the ink, which is stored as scalable vector curves in OneNote, is grainy just as a bitmap. Browsing handwritten notes is very slow either.
Else it's a great app, mainly because it's the only app which is able to show handwritten notes at all, sadly not properly yet.

Liking it so far and looking forward to being able to create and edit notes.

Been comparing MobileNoter / OneNote (on PC and Android) to Evernote and I have to say I've given up on Evernote.  The Evernote Android app has a serious bug and they showed little initiative when I reported it.  So it looks like MobileNoter it is.

Keep up the good work!

I installed everything. Is it also possible to sync via the USB cable? The thing is that in our company due to some regulations we do not have wifi in use normally, also if I can get the laptop to the wifi hooked up I would still not be allowed to connect my HTC Desire to it.
My mobilenoter notebook is pretty big, too big to sync via the cloud.
Any solutions to this problem or why USB sync is not supported?
I would love to sync and see how it looks on my mobile

About hyper links.

I added a link to a graphic, it will not open.
A normal link like www.somethin.com works fine.
A link to an other page does also not work.

I am also looking forward to being able to create and edit on my HTC Desire.

Thanks

I like the app and am looking forward to create/edit capabilities.

I have run across an issue -- From Outlook 2010 I saved an email (w/PDF attachment) to OneNote 2010.  I ran sync and the email shows up fine on the Android.  However, when I try to open/view the pdf attachment I only get a "creating thumbnails" message, then a view of the two images that were attached to the sig file of the email.

I have tested this with other emails/attachment formats -- if there are multiple attachments to the saved email I can open all the but last one.   Oddly, I did find an email with only 1 attachment -- a PPT attachment that I could open -- in addition to the file type being different this email was long thread that had several replies embedded did NOT have any sig file images in it.  

It seems consistent -- if the email has embedded images (At least at the end), then the last attached doc cannot be opened.

Hi

I am trying to sync with an Android phone via the cloud and it always hangs at 10% - I don't think the notebook is corrupt as it syncs fine on my Ipad etc. I've tried beta 1&2 and installed both several times.

Any help you can give would be gratefully received!

Thanks

Andrew

My question is when can the Android version take templates form One note and update  them and change them?

Have been looking at a number of note applications for Android, especially that will sync with the windows desktop.  This has the most promise by a long shot.  It is the most professional and well thought out design out there.  That said, it won't be useful until the editing capability is added.  Like the idea of the quick note functionality.  I use a combination of typed notes embedded with scans and pictures.  All come through beautifully.

Any timeframe on a GA version with editing capabilities?
Great job so far.

still like to play with it

One thing I tried was to open an email which I copied into onenote and synced via the cloud. The symbol of the email is not there, just the subject, when I click that the email will open only in code. But there is the option to open the attachment. When I tried that I got the error message that there was not service to open that attachment which is a .msg email. I am not sure if I need to install anything to open the email or not. Have a HTC Desire.

Second, when I am connected via USB in storage mode, I can not open any notebooks, I get the error message that the sd card is unavailable. (my preferred sync would still be via USB because in the office the wifi has restricted access)

good work, thanks so far

Are you planning to implement .one format to Android instead of converting them? I really hope so since we have a lot of syncing services which handle sync very well (eg Dropbox with 30 days versioning feature).

Thanks,

Few comments on beta-2 version:

1. Sync over wifi - works with a specific IP address, but not with the ocmputer name (with or without the domain name). I've sent a specific description in an email.
2. Edit function - hope to see it soon
3. Openning an email (exchange) attchement - wasn't able to do it so far.

Installed PC Desktop Sync successfully. Installed android phone app successfully. However, cannot get WiFI Sync working.

After I enter my PC's IP address I am getting no pop-up whatsoever for a PIN code or now with latest version a "send paring request." Nothing happens after I input IP address and hit ok.

What am I missing something? I've checked and doublechecked my setup and eveything matches your instructions. I am lost.

Will there be a version geared towards the many Android 3.0 hoenycomb tablets that will be coming out soon? Or will this be compatible?  Make this so and add editing features, you will make my dreams come true!

I use OneNote 2010 and rely on the web based sync to help work, home and travel computers to stay synchronized via Microsoft Live.  My only frustration is the lack of access via my Android Phone.

In reading the site it doesn't look like you are working with ON2010.  AM I missing something?  I really want to make sure htat I'm synchronizing between phone, web and computer access.

Thanks for helping clarify how this works.  If it doesn't, will it in a future release?  how soon?

I use MS OneNote 07 everyday in school but usually I insert a power point presentation as a handout and then write my notes on the sides of the document. I’m currently testing Mobilenoter on my iPhone and found that for some reason synchronizations go through without a problem but those pages in which I have pdf/power point slides along with my notes won’t show on my iPhone. Is this supported? I tried inserting pictures in  blank pages to see whether there was an issue as well and after synchronization they were all visible in my iPhone no problem. Is there perhaps a fee to be paid to view the slides within a page on Mobilenoter as there is on Evernote?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
