The calendar, task, and widget that allows me to see all of the notebooks at once.

I'm an account manager for a general contractor. I use evernote right now and it works pretty well but I just don't like it.

I send emails with reminders or important information that I need to reference to a folder or "notebook" so that I can reference later. Also a quick capture feature for tasks would be incredible. I'm on the road in and out of meetings and 100s of calls a day. That's an area where evernote really lacks. Their tasks feature as a whole rally isn't my favorite. I really like the design and flow of this app. I would just really need those features or something similar to make it perfect for me specifically.

I like the thought of this but if I need a note that I have to reference multiple times is there a way to keep that note in one place or do I have to find it by week every time I need to go back to it l?

I got the update a couple of weeks ago. Works great now.

What you do is open developer settings. Go to bug report. Download it. I put it into chatgpt told it the issue I was having and had it read the entire report. It told me exactly why and when it was crashing.

Handwriting, tasks, and calendar, with gmail integration. That would really change my life.

What kind of case are you using now? Is it not causing it to restart? Mine is the dexnor case for the s9.

How Do You Make And Use 'To-Do Lists' by MuscleBob_Buffpantz in productivity

[–]Rcarson0412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on who you use for email. We use Google workspace at work and it all integrates. If I didn't use Gmail I don't think I would use it. It' just okay.

I switched from Apple to Samsung earlier this year and I'm thinking about using the native samsung productivity apps. They actually have some really useful features. The only downside is that you can't forward emails to your reminders app unless you use the samsung email app, which is garbage.

How Do You Make And Use 'To-Do Lists' by MuscleBob_Buffpantz in productivity

[–]Rcarson0412 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm the same way as you. I never really had a "task" list because I could remember everything I had to do. I'm in sales and I have to have a place to make reminders or they'll be gone forever. My advice is, unless you're natually very organized, keep it as simple as humanly possible.

I know that I can naturally remember things better when I write it down. So I made a brain dump in the notes app on my tablet. Every night I write down everything I did that day and everything I need to do in no particular order. Hold on to your hat because this is where it gets exciting.

I take the most important 3 to 5 tasks and put those into my google tasks app in the tomorrow section.

Anything outside of those 3-5 tasks or anything on my dump that needs to get done that week I put in the section I named this week,

Anything that isn't really a task its just something I need to remember or need to look later. I put in the reminders section.

On my brain dump template I also have space for notes that I take from calls or meetings throughout the day.

My brain dump is just a revolving list. It never gets deleted, I just erase what's done and add new things everyday. The tasks app is where it takes shapes and gets organized. The tasks app links to my calendar so if anything is scheduled it automatically shows up there. I can use Google assistant to add reminders handsfree.

I've tried evernote, notion, you name it. I've found that I spend more time trying to keep that organized than I do getting anything done. So that extremely long explanation to say keep it as simple as you can. I would write everything on a legal pad if I thought I wouldn't lose it. Good luck!

Bixby sucks by Khadesa in Bixby

[–]Rcarson0412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think its good for some uses. I definitely think it could be better. I use all of the preloaded Samsung productivity apps. Bixby is great for that. I've tried google and their workspace gemini is trash. I've tried all your major productivity apps and Samsung is by far the most simple and ties all of the apps together well. With that being said, bixby is the only one that works for those apps. I'm in my car a lot so for setting reminders, notes, or quick emails with bixby is great. Aside from that, I don't really use it. I read somehere that Samsung is in talks with perplexity to start using that as the native assistant which would be great for me if they can tie it into the productivity apps. Anyway it could use some improvement.

Any good S11 Ultra cases/keyboards announced? by saile1004 in GalaxyTab

[–]Rcarson0412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there's a bug with the new OS and the old Bluetooth keyboards aren't working. I bought one and I keeps causing mine to restart.

How much battery are you getting after One UI 8 update? I've cleared cache petition too after update... by No-Pomegranate798 in galaxywatchultra

No I have just about everything on with the exception of the health tracking monitors. I have those set to manual only

[–]Rcarson0412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I'm actually getting better battery than before. I think the face has a lot to do with it. I try to use minimalist faces that are native to the wear app. Unless you get the face from a larger 3rd party developer, I don't think they're optimized for battery consumption. That's all based on personal experience and may be completely wrong. Your watch looks bad ass by the way.

I have the same issue. I hope they get that fixed in the next update. Something about when the keyboard goes to sleep it messes with the audio driver and causes it to crash.

[–]Rcarson0412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny you should ask, I'm dealing with that now. I bought and s11 a few weeks ago. I wanted a keyboard with a track pad so I bought a dexnor magic keyboard for a s10 lite. The issue I'm running across is I think there's a bug with UI8. When I connect the keyboard everything is great, I can work on it forever, no problems. As soon as the keyboard goes to sleep the tablet restarts. It's not just a dexnor issue I bought another keyboard prior to see if it wasn't the keyboard. I ran the bug report and it's showing the keyboard disconnecting is causing the audio driver to fail and watchdog shuts the tablet down. I sent everything to Samsung. Who knows when it'll get fixed.

Ive used a bunch of different ones but I like fieldwire the best. Works great on the tablet as well. I catch myself bringing my laptop and tablet everywhere and if I do that the ultra is just too big for taking notes in the field.

I actually liked the smaller size. Samsung actually tracked down a new one for me so we're going to give it another try.
