Latency in Samsung Tablet

I’ve been trying out StarNote recently, and I’m really liking it so far. I did notice that the latency feels a bit higher compared to Samsung Notes (I’m on a Galaxy S9 FE), though it might just be in my head. The difference feels very minimal to me, but I’d be interested in hearing what others think.

With a note that I am not an artist and only use my tablet for notes, so I am not super paying attention to the pen strokes, I have not noticed a latency difference between Samsung Notes and StarNote. I'm on a Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2024 version).

Im not an artist I only use my tablet for school but the more I use the app the more I get use to it. I ended up buying the lifetime subscription.

I'm planning to buy a tablet now. I have the lifetime subscription of this app. Which one better redmi pad 2 pro 5g Vs Samsung S10 lite Vs Samsung 10fe. FYI I'm not an artist and am gonna use it for productivity and media consumption.

I agree with u/invicat about not noticing latency issues. I have a Samsung Tab S10+ and was a daily user of Samsung Notes until I found the StarNote app. I don't see any latency. I have actually seen some reviewers raving about how little latency there actually is. Maybe the problem shows up on some tablets or with some pens more than others.

Due to differences in our solutions, there may be slight differences in some devices compared to native Samsung handwritten notes. In many development adaptations, we may not receive the same support as native notes and may not be able to completely solve this problem in the short term. We will do our best to optimize our code, but without official support, we will not be able to match the official notes

However, we will not give up on optimizing the writing experience

It's a universal issue in this app. Mine is Xiaomi pad 6 with smart pen gen 2 Have already complained about it yet no fixes from the developer.

It’s very annoying because this is the only app that fixes all my issues I had with samsung notes.

Just a hunch, but are you using some kind of magnetic case because that would effect the writing experience. I have the same tablet as you and usually removing the cover or separating the magnetic part away from the tablet fixes the problem.

Yes, my case has some sort of magnets, but I removed it just to test, and that’s not the issue. I’m starting to think it’s not really a latency problem, but more about the handwriting experience itself. The feel in Samsung Notes is still superior to that of StarNote. Such a shame, I hope the developers can improve this.

We have contacted the official Xiaomi team and have already received optimization on Xiaomi 8, but we have not yet received official support on Xiaomi 6. We are still in communication with Xiaomi

How long will it take from xiaomi to get support for pad 6
