    Is there any trick to getting the s pen to write notes properly?

    If the problem happens around the edges it seems like u have a protective case with magnet locks. Magnetic field interfere with how the SPen works. Try with the tablet without a case.

    Calibration issue or dead spots on the screen?

    Yes the finger reading is capacitive and is not effected by magnetic field. Samsung/Wacom pen technology uses electromagnetic induction which is separate from the screen and is sensitive to external magnetic field. Microsoft's Surface Pro, for example, uses newer capacitive tech that uses the...

    Calibration issue or dead spots on the screen?

    Have you by any chance using some cover that has magnets around there. Try to use the pen there while the tablet is not in any case or cover or close to any possible source of a magnetic field.

    Official covers, worth it?

    And #1 happened sooner than I expected:) While picking up the tablet the pen got caught on something and the clip snapped. So my advice - don't use the spine of the book cover as a pen holder. Now I am exploring other options. There are few accessories for the Apple Pencil. The pencil looks...

    Screen tint on Tab S3

    Have you by any chance turned on the "Blue light" filter? It also has a scheduler to turn itself on at certain time of the day. Slide down the settings and checked if the icon with the rectangle with the letter "B" in it is enabled. You can find it also in the display section in the settings.

    Tab s3 hissing sound

    This is awesome. I kept playing with it and my new finding is that if I turn off Touch Sound in Sounds and Vibration options then the noise it is not present. Apparently the tablet is not trying to make sound every time the screen is touched. However if I press the off button the tablet makes...

    Tab s3 hissing sound

    I have the hiss in my silver device. I restarted in safe mode to check if this is caused by some running app on the background. First I thought that the hiss disappeared, but then I noticed that if I ro something - like start an app, change the volume or type on the onscreen keyboard, the hiss...

    Are you going to upgrade to the Tab S3?

    "Worth the price" it is little bit of a stretch, but "This is the price" :). It is a really beautiful device.

    Official covers, worth it?

    I got the official book cover and so far I really like it. It is slim and well made. It really complements the design of the tablet. 1. Clipping the pen to the spine I'd assume was the idea of how one would carry the pen around and for most of the time I think it works pretty well. My only...

    It might be that the idea is that ok the bookcover the pen could be clipped to the spine.

    UK release?

    Hey guys can you check if there is a hissing noise coming from the speakers. The noise is more noticeable from one of them. Also you need to hold the speaker very close to your ear. There are quite a few people in us and canada say their tablets are doing this (incl mine). I am trying to...

    S3 Folio book cover

    "3. Built-in magnet enable the automatic sleep/wake up function, and the magnet also keep front cover firmly closed with your tablet screen" That part bother me. The SPen uses electromagnetic induction to communicate with the tablet and any badly placed magnet will disturb it work. I had a case...

    Tab s3 hissing sound

    Has anyone talked to Samsung tech support? This might not really be a defect but just noisy circuitry. Inductors tend to make noises. As an example iphone 7 is notorious for this. I noticed that the noise disappeared when headphones are connected, but IMHO this could really mean anything.

    S3 Folio book cover

    I was told from Bestbuy.ca that the book cover (black only) will be available mid-May. They don't have any info yet about the keyboard cover. This is just... I don't get it

    S3 Folio book cover

    Beats me too. I just noticed yesterday the cover showed up on the Canadian samsung website, but can't find it for sale anywhere. I might be wrong but I think the actual release of the cover in us and canada is April 6. It looks like only the black book cover and keyboard cover was sold by us...

    Tab s3 hissing sound

    Actually you are right mine has the hiss too. You really have to put your ear next to the speaker. It is mostly noticeable on the lower right speaker (if u keep the tablet so the home button is down) and very slightly from the upper left. The hissing sound doesn't seem to be affected by any...

    Mysterious clips in box

    There little bit more than an emergency. Different colored tips have different friction with the screen. How I feel it the darker ones have more 'drag' than the lighter. The tablet comes with white and gray but they use to have black for the old pen which I personally liked the most. Also...

    What is the truth really? Does the tab s3/spen support tilt sensitivity or not?

    I just found out that OneNote have very nice pressure support (despite being extremely underdeveloped at least in the handwriting area) Anyways this is the first app I notice supporting it. I am yet to find one with tilt support. Afaik spen is the only active pen technology in the Android...

    S3 Folio book cover

    Apparently the book cover has two magnetic stripes where one can "stick" the pen. I personally doubt that the hold will be strong enough to be trusted when u carry the tablet in a bag. I know what u mean I did the same. I went from S2 to Tab A with pen to S3. Going from then click S2 to bulky...
