Android Notepad ColorNote FAQ

2010-10-21T06:35:00.000-07:00

Q : How do you put a sticky note on the home screen?

A : Goto home screen and long press empty space and choose widget, ColorNote will be there for sticking on page. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpMLF9b2aTQ See this youtube video to learn about the home screen widget.

Q : How come the widget and the alarm and remider functions don't work?

A : If the app is installed on the SD card, your widget, reminder and etc. will not work properly because Android doesn't support them! If you have already moved app to SD card, but you want those features, you have to move it back to device and reboot you phone.

Settings - Applications - Manage Applications - ColorNote - Move to Device

A : Click 'ColorNote' on top left of the main screen.

Q: How do you back up the notes?

A: Goto backup screen 'Menu-BackUp' , tap backup button, and enter your master password.

Q: How do you restore backed up data on SD card?
