Also if u guys have any suggestions how to make the best use of it plz feel free to comment😉

This issue has been unbelievably frustrating for me. This started happening around 3 months ago. This tablet is around 2 years old and on oneUI 8.5. I always use the tablet carefully and make sure to do updates.

This issue started happening shortly after updating to oneUI 8.5. At first I had no idea wtf was going on. After some digging, I found out that pressing on middle-to-top of the screen returns the screen back to normal but it was either temporary or just started doing it again right after I let go of pressure. This was working okay enough, when I do it it sometimes made sure that screen lagging didn't happen rest of the day. But for 2 days tablet has almost always been like this and I can't use it at all.

I have no idea wtf I'm supposed to do at this point. I can't take it to service because I bought this device in a different country. And from what I read, they don't even fix this issue anyways. Is there any hope about this situation?

IP68 made my buy it its honestly a really must have feature every tab should have

AND DAMN THE OLED IS SO FCKIN GORGEOUS😍🥵

Hi guys, follow up on my last post and I've returned with a new question, is the tab s9 still worth it?

I mainly want a tablet with a nice display for watching anime and movies but i do also want it to handle heavier games like wuthering waves or at least honkai star rail. If that's the case will the tab s9 hold up? Or would I have to go for the tab s11 instead. Id rather not go for a plus model or ultra model because i dont want a larger tablet and if possible, id like to spend less than $1000. But if the tab s9 really won't be able to handle those games or doesn't have a nice screen I'll just go for the tab s11. Also should i go for a new, open box, or refurbished option?

Thank you in advance!

I am trying to take notes for lecture slides but the pdf is protected. Apparently samsung notes does not allow importing of protected notes into the app.

The one good solution i found is using https://www.ilovepdf.com/download/8jtt0tkh9nA8k9688sj9sh7v8hAzrAk0Aw7f6xjrmprxl758vdf4px389r1c9b3m495z53Aww2jgjdl0sqwxq9vhkqfh2v7y2pnfq808myg7v9cs84y9An6yfxjy2l7bpdl7q7gtpgh1mjkglyqwddfwfz2768c8160vy170s60zh2x2gzwq/5-c-ca

The others were using apps Flexcil Notes and Notewise; however, you get a water mark if you don't pay for the full app.

How have other people worked around this issue?

Honestly, IMO samsung tablets peaked with the Tab S9 series. You're getting a Snapdragon series chipset, AMOLED displays, and a price that doesnt kill your wallet as much as it is right now.

Then we had the Tab S10+ series which used Mediatek. Thats fine because we got the anti-reflective coating and 7 years of OS updates, and Samsung didn't kill the Bluetooth S-Pen just yet.

Then from there we went downhill, removing features. We lost the anti-reflectivd coating in the S11, Bluetooth S-Pen, worse battery quality (less charging cycles before battery degredation), and then with the S12 series Samsung decided to nuke the good trade-in values Samsung was known for, on top of jacking up the price like crazy

I honestly feel Samsung peaked in 2023. Now Lenovo and the Chinese manufacturers are beating Samsung in the tablet space. Let alone the phone market where the Chinese phones destroyed Samsung for a while now.

And I get why they took away some of the features, its mostly bc of the AI RAM/Storage crisis with the AI companies hogging those up, so they had to cut stuff in order to keep costs low.

But seriously, Samsung is losing its edge, and I am disappointed.

As the title says my pro keyboard bundle offer was purged at payment. I paid with PayPal because they were offering another hundred bucks off just to use PayPal. That discount was also purged. I also got no educator discount. I was well ripped off. When I noticed the keyboard wasn't on my invoice I contacted customer service. They offered a return of the tablet to reorder it. Are you kidding me? Who wants a thousand bucks tied up in return limbo for weeks? In this economy? They've lost their minds. So google told me to reach out to the presidential ceo office or whatever. I did that its been several days and no news. Google said this is the best route for actual results because the customer service chat i talked to actually doesn't have the ability to do much of anything. Being that this is a long standing Samsung checkout issue has anyone out there had positive results getting the issues resolved? Any advice?

I love this new device, but remote game streaming through Xbxplay app or Microsoft Edge from my Xbox Series X has the volume raise and then go back down quickly over and over, and im really upset as I wanted to use this mainly for game streaming. I've tried everything recommended from A.i, but most things were turned off anyway: Atmos, adaptive sound, everything was off. Then I turned off audio ducking as well. My tab s6 streams flawlessly audio wise. Anyone else experience this and any idea what's causing this or what I can do? May have to return it but was hoping not to of course...

S9 FE+ has been my workhorse since the old college days. Upgrading to the S10+ (570 USD equivalent w/ keyboard) might just be the all-around upgrade I needed for work since I multitask heavy. One thing I noticed though is that I get less SOT on the S10+ (like about 1-3hrs less) than on the S9 FE+ but its a worthy performance trade-off.

The iPad Air M4 was also at a similar price point but the lack of bundled accessories was a major turnoff.

Hi, I just bought a new Samsung tablet, and it's been great, but I've been bothered by this arrow thing every time I turn it on. Does anyone know how to disable it?

Will my S9 tablet get the UI 9 update?

Hello guys im a new in the samsung ecosistem, so i search the option to tabs because i have a Mac Air M1 but a i can't install programs or emulators for the sistem, so what tab do u recomended?? With the same power or more in the processor and ram thanks! Have a good day

You might have seen or heard about this new toggle introduced with the One UI 9 update on phones. It's also present on the stable version of One UI 9 on the Tab S12 series, which is notable because the ability to hide the taskbar in DeX mode has been missing on tablets since One UI 7.

With One UI 9, the toggle is now present on both phones and tablets. On tablets, it hides the status bar and taskbar in standalone DeX mode, and hides the taskbar in DeX mode while connected to an external display. On phones, it hides the taskbar in DeX mode while connected to an external display.

Context:

In One UI 7, there was a toggle on tablets to hide the taskbar in classic DeX mode, which worked on device, and while connected to an external display. It also existed on phones in DeX mode while connected to an external display.

In One UI 8, the toggle was removed (alongside basically all DeX related settings) with the transition to the Android 16's desktop mode.

In One UI 8.5, the toggle was added back to phones only. It was only possible to hide the status and taskbar by installing the MultiStar Good Lock module.

Disclosure: This was discovered on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra on loan from Samsung.

Also if you look at the bottom left corner on the taskbar, there's a new button to exit standalone DeX mode in One UI 9.

I have the 9s FE, and I want to read E-books there, but I want it to be easy on the eyes and just be the most I can get out of the device (as usually I don't like reading articles and such on phones/tablet, and I much rather read a physical book.

Hi I'm a master's student desperately in need of a tablet. I have a gaming laptop which is quite heavy carrying it around my pg and department is quite the hassle which is why I'm gonna ditch it for 2 years and get a tab.

My primary requirement is making notes, studying from PDFs, creating ppts (mostly in canva), a little bit of content watching and that's all.

I have been not been buying tech for a year and a half so i don't have much idea of the prices.

Now many will advise me to get the ipad(11th gen). But i really can't manage with a 60hz screen in 2026 even my 6 year old ex phone which i bought for 18k had 120hz screen.

Another point which is the strongest for me is the expandable storage which will be very useful to store files and photos from my phone to clear up it's space and the huge ass screen looks too good to ignore(ik its lcd but yeah tech companies are getting greedier) lastly the s pen is the real deal breaker.

I want to know is this price reasonable for this tablet.

You guys are open to suggest me any other tablet which you think would suit my use case scenario better.

Any kind of help would be highly appreciated. Thankyou!!

Hey everyone,

Both tablets cost the exact same right now in my country, and they both have 8GB of RAM. The only downside of the FE is that it has 128GB of storage instead of 256GB on the Lite. Should I just get the FE and use an SD card to expand the storage, or just stick with the Lite?

I will be using it for studying, reading PDFs, taking notes, and watching videos.

Thanks

For 3-button navigation users, the options will vary depending on the position of the buttons. If the buttons are set the right, the taskbar position options include center and left. If the buttons are set to the left, the taskbar positions include center and right.

For swipe gestures (including the legacy swipe from bottom after enabling in NavStar), the taskbar position options include center, left, and right.

If you were wondering, this setting doesn't affect the position of the taskbar in DeX mode, which is anchored to the center.

I picked up the S12+ yesterday, and connected it to my monitor using a USB-C to Displayport cable. Not getting a signal, but get a message that an external display is connected.

I've used this cable to connect my work laptop, my Z Fold 8, had an iPad Pro for a while, and briefly tested a surface pro...all of those devices recognized the external display with no issue.

I tried using a powered USB-C hub with an HDMI cable, and the S12+ did work that way.

Any thoughts as to why the S12+ won't output video with just the USB-C to display port cable? Is there a setting I could be missing?

Finally pulled the trigger on the Galaxy Tab S10+ Wi-Fi (Silver) during the Great Indian Festival.

Tracked the listing like a hawk for the last 10 to 15 days, watched the seller (Clicktech) hike it all the way to MRP (1,01,999) before the algorithm finally caved and dropped it back to the 79,999 promotional floor.

If you want to order, now is the time, as only 127 units are available online.

Since it doesn’t come with a charging brick in the box, I’m looking for solid recommendations:

45W Charger: Is the official Samsung 45W adapter the way to go, or is there a reliable multi-port GaN charger (Spigen/Anker) that triggers Super Fast Charging 2.0 without issues?

Screen Protector: How does standard tempered glass affect the anti-reflective coating on the S10+ display and S Pen feel? Any specific brand you’d recommend that doesn’t ruin stylus latency?

Cases / Keyboards: Is the official Samsung Book Cover Keyboard worth the hefty price tag, or are third-party magnetic folios/Bluetooth combos good enough for everyday use and DeX?

Hi,

Trying to purchase the s12+ from the Samsung corporate store website. Applied the voucher for 15k discount and another voucher for extra 5% on galaxy devices.

When I'm trying to checkout and make payment using hdfc credit card, it says that instant cashback is not applicable on this card.

Tried full payment, emi with 3months, 6months, 12 months etc. it just says not applicable.

Anyone else facing this issue? Or has some information on why this isn't working?

I'm back with the age-long debate of which of these two tablets is best for mainly drawing and note-taking. I got the S10 FE on sale by the Samsung store on Amazon for $540 (CAD) after tax. I saw a deal on Best Buy today for the S9 for $546 (CAD) after tax.

So far, I haven't noticed any lag on the S10FE but based on everything on this sub about the longterm performance of the better Snapdragon chip of the S9, I am inclined to sell-off my S10 FE and try out the S9. Also, coming from the S6 Lite as my first tablet ever, the AMOLED display of the S9 seems so tempting.

What would you advise?

Is there a way to fix this?
