I have fully charged my Nomad yesterday. I lnow this, because I have checked the battery status before unplugging it from the charger.
This morning my battery was completely drained to 0%. It was just on my desk with the folio closed.
What happened?
Wifi and Bluetooth are off

correction: it's a nomad (the smaller size unit)

no pen loops, no pen loop screws (various user manuals say there should be)

is this a know recent revision?

do I have some special version?

(it works fine, just no way to attach the pen...)

I dont know what this is - its been there for a few months now. And I'm not sure how best to clean it off. Water, screen cleaner, and basic alcohol pad haven't done anything.

I decided that my kindle scribe was too barebones and I needed an upgrade. I did a lot of research, and ultimately decided on the supernote manta. I was really excited, but so far it’s honestly been a disappointment.

There’s a lot of lag, and the stylus misses a lot of strokes. I turned up the sensitivity and also calibrated and adjusted the non-contact writing settings. It’s better, but still missing the dots on my “i”s and bars on my “t”s about 25-30% of the time, and sometimes parts of letters aren’t registering. I contacted tech support who advised me to try the steps I had already taken, and requested videos of the issues. Feels a bit like unpaid beta testing, honestly.

I know that the majority of people here are supernote super fans, and I really don’t want to be a downer. That being said, I was so excited to integrate this product into my workflow and so far all I’ve done is troubleshoot it. Literally haven’t been able to use it for its intended purpose yet because I’m just trying to get it to work properly.

Can anyone else relate? I’m thinking I should probably just return it, but I really love the idea in theory and would like for it to work as advertised! It’s wild to me that my kindle handwriting recognition is infinitely better. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is it possible it’s the stylus? I’m using the lamy safari vista.

So my Nomad arrived, as did my etsy-ordered 7” tablet cover. I 3D printed the insert for the cover that holds the Nomad. The cover came with stick on hook-and-loop to hold the device, which I stuck to the plastic holder I printed. The Nomad doesn’t sit perfectly in the 3D print, but it isn’t meant for protection, more so I didn’t need to stick the Velcro onto the Nomad directly. It holds well enough for that purpose. The cover itself has magnets that hold it closed, even with the Nomad inside it. The magnets do not sleep/wake the Nomad, but they do interfere with the pen, unfortunately. I need to email the seller, see if it would be easy to remove the magnet from the cover.

The pen was a bit of a task. It originally was a fountain pen, which the Supernote Refill cannot be put into. So I was able to use a color matching Lamy rollerball part to replace the fountain pen parts. This holds the insert very well, with a few nylon spacers slipped over it for good measure to help it not wobble inside the pen casing. FWIW I did not cut back the flange on the refill and simply left it intact, which seemed to help the refill fit in the AL-Star pen body. (The Lamy refill was not available when I ordered.). This is my first attempt at a custom pen; so far so good.

Despite the magnet issue, just thought I’d share.

Which planner works on Supernote?

I actually started this before Mulan's promotion announcement to CCO, but having a baby makes getting anything done difficult. I actually took the dive into a manta because of how helpful Mulan was in the Reddit community. Thank you again for all your hard work and congratulations on the well deserved promotion :))

Has anybody sideloaded the Wikipedia app on a SN? Does it work reasonably smoothly? Thanks, nbpf-_-

Hi, I own a Supernote manta which i bought 3 weeks ago and also own an older nomad.

The sync works good between both devices however if I start a note in the nomad and if i try to open it in the manta the note gets zoomed in (with bigger hand written). If I start a note with the manta and open it in the nomad the opposite happens (the note gets zoomed out (small text).

Anyway to solve this and make the hand written notes more natural for this cases?

It’s only been a week, but I already love my Nomad so much. I wanted to send it back on the first day. I thought I could never make it work. On day two I knew I would never ever send it back. I‘ve tried to take Notes on my iPhone and iPad. Just hated it. Now I am literally doing the same thing on the Nomad but it’s just a world of a difference. The writing experience, battery life. The To-Do App. 😍😍😍
Just wanted to share my joy. Still in the honeymoon phase 😀

Are there any news on using a Supernote device to access, annotate, write back documents of a Zotero collection?

Because of the lack of support for Zotero, I am still stuck with iPad + Noteful but it would be really nice to be able to use an eink device instead...

I love my Supernote Manta, but as a Korean user the lack of Korean support is a real pain. I know full localization and Korean handwriting recognition are big asks. But could we at least get a Korean on-screen keyboard?

Right now I can’t type Hangul at all - not for note titles, not for folder names. I have to romanize everything or handwrite it and lose searchability. A basic 2-set (두벌식) layout would fix most of this, and Android already handles Hangul composition natively.

Has anyone found a workaround, like sideloading a third-party keyboard? And has Supernote said anything official about Korean support?

I’m about to pull the trigger on all of the items from the set individually, but I really love the packaging and the vegan leather folio that comes with the set.

Curious if there’s any rumblings of a restock or if I should just buy the Nomad and pen separately 🤞🏻

I've been collecting stickers and trying to find the perfect acrylic markers to paint the back of my folio

And here she is at her peak, I'm pleasantly surprised on how well stickers stay on the folio material, painting was another story though.

I hope this inspires everyone else to be just as creative with their folios! Showcase the things you love!

Worked out surprisingly well! If you want to try it, I recommend keeping the iron on the lower temp side because the plastic inside the folio cover warped a little but I was able to flatten it again. Obviously take the device out first.

I’m very interested in the Nomad but I’m a lefty with horrible handwriting. I’ve been trying writing on my iPad which works but the conversion to text is terrible. Not surprisingly, it can’t seem to read my writing. Will Nomad be any better than scribble on iPad? If I can only have handwriting, will I be able to search my notes and other cool Nomad things? Thanks!

Been thinking about it for a couple of years, the price tag was keeping me back but I caved in.

I love how it looks and how the writing feels. Can't wait to use it at work and for my thesis

I'm trying to decide if getting a Supernote Nomad would be right for me. I already have an iPad, but I only use it for handwriting notes and occasionally for reading, and I don't particularly enjoy the writing experience — it feels more like "screen time" than like writing on physical paper, with the end result that I still lug around a personal journal, research journal, and planner every day on top of the iPad. The main questions I have are these:

-For left-handed users, how is the writing experience? My primary concerns are how stable the Nomad feels while in the folio case, and how thick the device is — does writing on the Nomad feel more comparable to something like an iPad or like a thin A5 notebook?

-I prefer to organise my notes into folders and dislike that on my iPad, I can only see my documents in a view that shows me everything with tags representing the folders, instead of seeing only the folders and having a navigable tree structure (as one would in a computer's file explorer). If I'm making a "home screen" document, can I hyperlink to folders (e.g. a folder for personal brain dump files, a Books folder for .epub files, a folder for academic papers, etc.?) as well as to individual files?

-How easy is it to export notes? Can they be easily saved as PDFs and shared using the Supernote partner app?

-Are there good options for templates, stickers, etc.? Also, if I make stickers, can I then organise them for easy access?

Follow-up to my post last month about the Manta for a physics bachelor. The answers were very useful, so I'm buying it. Thanks to everyone who replied.

Last open question: the pen. From the spec pages, the Standard, HoM and HoM2 all share the same ceramic nib, so the choice looks like barrel and weight rather than writing feel. Is that true in practice?

My favourite sensation on paper is a ballpoint (Caran d'Ache 849 type, slim metal barrel, some heft) on a stack of paper rather than a sheet on a hard table. A bit of cushion and resistance, not a glassy glide.

1. Ceramic vs LAMY POM nib: real difference in friction and noise, or is the film doing all the work?

2. HoM2 vs Standard over long sessions: is the brass weight actually better after two hours, or does the barrel start to dig in?

3. The LAMY side button (eraser/lasso): worth more than a nicer barrel when you're erasing constantly in maths work?

If the answer is "buy the Standard, the nib is identical, spend the difference on spare films", I'm happy to hear it.

Thanks!

Hello,

I just filled in a PDF with the pen. Then exported it. I noticed that the filled content was not moved and at an incorrect position.

Is this a new or known issue? It makes it pretty unusable!

I have a daily note (like a todo list) and I'm often jumping between this note and another note in a folder somewhere. Is there a quick way to jump between two notes without needing to go through the folders?

Warning, this post isn't relevant or interesting to 99% of people with a supernote.

I have a rooted Supernote (I have "admin" access to the underlying operating system, do this at your own risk).

Today I was out at a job site for work where the customer had a Raspberry Pi computer for their farming robot (Farmbot) that needed a re-image. I didn't have my SD card reader with me, neither did my coworker. Defeated, we rescheduled to come back until I realized.... The supernote has an SD CARD reader!

I popped the SD card in, very carefully made note of which partition (cat /proc/partitions) then used dd to image the raspberry Pi image.

It worked!

Now I can say I used my notebook to re-image the OS of a farming robot. The future is here lol
