I'm looking for cases that hold the spen for the Samsung Galaxy s9+ in it's slot, hopefully from AliExpress if anyone knows of one
Hello guys,
I’ve been using my Tab S7 FE to take notes and recently noticed a difference on the behavior of the zoom on Samsung Notes app.
Previously when I zoomed on a page while reading or writing it would snap to full page(ish) but now when I try to zoom on a page to fit it to the entire available space(minus pen tools on the right side and the header at the top side) it just continues to zoom. This is not a big problem while reading but when I take notes I zoom in and out multiple times on a page and it becomes frustrating.
I haven’t updated the system software on the tablet but I might have updated the Notes app. I went through every setting but couldn’t find anything related to that. Do you guys know any settings related to this or have you guys experienced this kind of behavior change?
Thanks, Murat.
I just unboxed my A9+ tablet, and I immediately noticed the lag in the UI. It is updated to OneUI 6.1 and it has 8gb ram and 128 gb storage. How can I fix the lag in the UI? I already tried setting the Ram+ to 8gb, tried to restart it twice already and still can't see any results. Please help.
I'm looking at getting a Tab S9 11 inch, because I really appreciate the smaller size footprint and the OLED panel.
From what I've read, 10% battery life per hour of Screen ON time is pretty normal.
What I'd like to know is what is typical percent % use when the screen is OFF, such as overnight? What about after a week of no use, does it maintain a charge? How much does it drop per day of non-use.
My current tablet gets charged about once ever 7-10 days when I'm not using the screen. I charge it to about 80%, and I've setup a routine to keep Battery Saver on in the late hours, to help minimize battery.
So as the title implies, I bought my A9+ on Facebook marketplace because I wanted a tablet to draw on the go and manage my Discord, twitch, etc. I REALLY enjoy thr tablet but I HATE that I can't draw with it, the S9 is my next best bet but I can't even trade the A9 for a significant price cut, any ideas?
Hey guys! Any case and tempered glass recommendation? Or apps na rin. 🙂
mainly looking for a Samsung tablet that’s good for digital drawing, schoolwork, runs smoothly for gaming, has decent battery life, and works well rin for entertainment. Besides the Samsung S10+ Tab, are there other models that function the same or even better ?
So i just wanted to factory reset the tablet normally trough the settings app, but it asked me for a samsung account password i have long forgotten, so i tried entering recovery mode by pressing pwr+vol up+home. It gave me this screen but was still able to boot normally. Then i tried removing it from my google account, then rebooted it and now it wont enter normal android and now its either this screen or download mode(by pressing pwr+ vol down+ home). Can anyone help me fix it?(i don’t care about the data, just want it working)
Is there any way that you can erase shape drawn from write to shape function ?
Yesterday I bought replacement spen tibs for my tab s6 lite from an authorized samsung store.
While pulling out the old nib, the nib broke leaving the stick inside the pen. Went through videos and finally was able to pull out with help of a needle and then entered the new tip.
Now the new tip wont work properly. There is a lag while using notes and the eraser button has a huge lag. Dont now if the tip is at fault or me making the mess of the system inside the pen while pulling out the older one.
If anyone have faced similar issue do let me know how u tackled.
Also, what are some good replacement s-pen available in India? And does a s pen of newer tabs like s9,s10 works with tab s6 lite
Been hunting for deals for a while and i think this is as low as it could get priced, but one friend of mine insists that i wait till black friday which is a bit of a small wait but I'm afraid I'll lose this deal, should i wait or is this price a one time chance?
I recently got the S9 FE tablet however fb messenger does not have other app options to “open” pdf files. Whenever I want to download a pdf file, I see browsers apps like chrome and Samsung internet, and docs. That’s it. I don’t have my pdf viewer app as an option nor Samsung notes. Oddly enough, when I open the chrome version of fb messenger, I see the pdf browser and Samsung notes but none of the browser apps. Is there a way to add more app options in “Open with”??
Does CODM works smoothly in Galaxy A9+? How about the resolution and long term use? Is it still playable after update?
Im planning to buy one, hoping for an honest review.
I recently lost my S-Pen on a flight when it fell off my case in the seat pocket. Luckily I happened to see someone selling a new pen on Marketplace for $25 so I picked it up.
The setting to warn if the pen was left behind was already enabled. I normally put my tablet directly into my backpack which explains how I didn't see the previous warning that I left my S-PEN behind. I will obviously be more attentive to make sure that the pen is attached to the tablet when I put it into my backpack but was curious if I could somehow tie the lost pen warning from my tablet to my S24 Ultra which is always in my pocket. I would be much more likely to notice an alarm going off from the sound and vibrations in my pocket as opposed to the message only happening on my tablet in my backpack that I probably won't feel vibrate or hear an alarm from.
Maybe I'm over thinking it and will definitely pay closer attention but I thought having the alert on my phone would ensure that I 100% would notice if I left my S-Pen.
Thank you again in advance for all the help. This sub has been awesome.
Hi All. Both Best Buy and the Samsung website are both offering $300 off the Galaxy tab S9 Ultra 256GB model. I know it is hard to tell but do you think black Friday will see a slightly bigger discount? Or would it be better to buy now with the $300 discount and not risk waiting till Black Friday. I was thinking this $300 discount will expire soon and when black Friday comes around there will be a smaller discount. Thanks for any thoughts on this.
Any way to set it to open in landscape?
Hello everyone,
Pleae don't kill me but I have an ipad but wanted to upgrade to the new 13" but the ONE thing I hate about apple is how each updates destroys the battery life. I am wondering how is the S9 ultra perform when new updates occur. Is there severe battery drain? Also how much batter do you get now on a s9 Ultra?
Your help is greatly appreciated~
Did a stress test and results shows this way, any thoughts on why this happens? No problem in performance though just gets hotter when gaming etc.
I have a Galaxy tab S7 and I know there's pen sleeves out there but I want to replace my S Pen tip with one that looks more like the Apple Pencil ones? I just want that pencil-point look and feel when I journal on my tablet :(
I have lost my tab's SPen any idea where to get a new genuine spen in India. The samsung store doesn't have any in stock. Found a website called southport.in where it's showing in stock but not sure if its a genuine site for purchasing anything. Any suggestions?
I have both Galaxy Tab S7 FE 5G (Verizon) and Galaxy S21 FE (Verizon as well) both signed in to the same Google and Samsung accounts. I know the google account won't make much of a difference. Both devices are running Android 14 One UI 6.1. What ever SMS/MMS I get on the phone, shows up on the tablet as well as long there is an internet connection to the tablet. Other than that, when the tablet is not connected to the internet or turned as a good example. Non of the messages that are on the phone won't show up on the tablet. So I don't know if it has to do with any versions of the for Call and Text on other devices, the version on the messaging apps themselves on the phone and tablet or if there is something I'm missing. I do have Text on other devices turned on both the phone and tablet
This is a gift for an older adult in their 60s who's mostly used windows and an iphone but wants a tablet.
The hardware package (keyboard and pen) for the Matepad 11.5s is tempting and cost about the same as the Galaxy Tabs8 without a case.
how much of a issue is not having the playstore? is the 11.5S faster over all than the Samsung?
Any alternative pens good for the S9?
I don't mind spending a bit.
Is the s pen pro any good compared to the s pen?
I find if I tilt the s pen beyond about 30° it really struggles to sense pressure input because the force is acting sideways not perpendicular to the potentiometer.
I also find it to be very hit and miss for gentle strokes. Sketching is my thing and light strokes first off is important to building up an drawing, and the pen just doesn't really sense it if I don't push decent amount.
It also doesn't help that the nib is quite rubbery and soft because it is difficult to tell how much pressure you're applying sometimes, in fact sometimes you can't even tell you're pressing on the screen because it's soo soft and gentle when you touch glass, there's no subtle vibration or tap sound to give you feedback.
It's also a bit wobbly, the nib has room to wiggle around and this makes drawing curves and bends a bit awkward because you feel the nib getting pushed into the pen casing at certain points and it makes it click and makes it a less smooth or fluid friction free experience.
Maybe I also need to get some kind of paper texture screen protector too, idk.
Here's a video for reference.
Just started using the PenUp drawing/coloring book app and had a few questions for anyone using it as well:
How’s your experience with it, in comparison to other drawing apps?
Are there any tips I should know about the app?
Bonus question: Ex iPad procreate users, how do you feel about the switch up?
I don’t draw regularly, but this app feels easier than what I was using before, Sketchbook (I think). But I’m so excited to get back into it because the color book function is just awesome!
I bought two tablets in the last few months. The first one was the cheap A9 from Costco. At under 200 bucks, It sounded good enough for me since I really only want to stream video from it. I ended up having lots of issues with buffering and glitching but the real issue was apparently you can't watch it in landscape mode with polarized sunglasses on. After some research here, people basically said you have to get a Galaxy tab S something. So I did. I got the S9 FE+. On sale for $400 at Costco right now. I like the larger 12.4" screen. They had it side by side with the A9 so it was nice to see that the screen doesn't go dark with polarized glasses. However now I'm reading that it doesn't have the last feature I want to use it for. Video out. In addition to watching TV on it, I wanted to be able to connect it to a TV once in a while. The A9 didn't support this feature and I thought this one did but apparently it doesn't either? 🥴
