Hi. Could anyone else confirm these? I am pretty dissapointed overall for a premium price tablet which I hoped to use to increase productivity at work.
When using the Samsung app for emails, it shows a number on the email icon with unread message count. If you use Outlook at work and delete emails from Exchange, the email number never goes down. Same goes for Gmail. If the tablet picks up an email, it shows number 1, but if you log into Webmail and delete it there you can come back hours later and the lock screen still shows 1 email unread. This is a nightmare with Gmail and work Exchagne synching as it is never correct during the day!
I had the tablet synching work email and gmail. I have unticked the box for work Exchagne and just left calendar on. I click the refresh button and it says "Email sync is disabled" BUT the email still comes in from work! I have turned the tablet off and on again and email still comes in. I was hoping to turn work email off sometimes (same as I have always done with my iPhone 4) but despite being unticked it still picks up email
Screen text loses clarity and icons have a lower quality look sometimes. I have narrowed this down to the video player. Try this - Open a video in video player. Click home to minimise the player. Now move the tablet to portrait and back to landscape. You will notice text appears less clear as if antialiasing has stopped working on websites, icons, etc. Now hit task manager and end the video player and immediately the text appears normal again?!
In the video player, select to play the video outside the player as a small window. Now click on the video to re-open the video in the main video player. How do you get back to the video index list?! The back button no longer works as it just takes you to the home screen instead of the video list like it should. You have to close the video app out of task manager and re-launch it fresh to get to the index page again.
When watching videos in the mini window mode, it doesnt update the progress bar on the index page so when you view all your videos, some show as half finished even if you finished them. It is as if the mini window mode is a completely different video player? This is annoying when you have lots of videos and can't always remember which episode you were up to or want to leave a video at a certain point and refer back to it later. WHen you launch the video application later on, the progress bars don't relate to where you left the video whilst in mini mode.
No email list or appointment list on the lock screen?l Probably more of an android features so not a bug but would be useful for productivity not having to unlock it each time (aka iOS notification style)
