    No voice control for camera?

    Sadly, there's nothing like that in settings. The camera app, apart from having a few flashy effects, is actually pants compared with the one on the Tab S, so I think I'll be looking for something else.

    No voice control for camera?

    I couldn't resist the 9.7" Tab S2 in John Lewis today. I've got a Tab S and I use the camera fairly frequently for photographing my craft work. I use the voice option to take pictures, because I'm often holding my work in two hands and have the Samsung propped up. I can't find a similar option...

    Annoying notification number

    Yes. Numbers. You see the '2' in the red circle in the image I posted? That number. It didn't use to be there. After the Samsung software update yesterday I get this number showing on any app that has notifications, and any folder which contains apps that have notifications. This has always...

    Annoying notification number

    It's not an issue with individual apps. I know which apps are causing the notifications. If I open the folder, each app with notifications has a number showing. This only started happening after a Samsung software update yesterday, so I know exactly what has caused it. I don't want to turn off...

    Annoying notification number

    One thing that I loved about my 12.2 was that it didn't have the irritating 'number of notifications' number on my folders, which drives me mad on my 10.1. My 12.2 has just installed an update and now I have those pesky numbers all over the place. I don't want to turn off notifications...

    Helllllp!.... I'm having a blonde moment of titanical proportions

    When you create a new notebook, you can import an image as the page 'pattern'. I'm not sure what file formats it supports. I think I used a jpg. Sent with love from one of my Samsungs

    "s-pen detected" missing in the notification bar

    I posted about this very problem in the Note Pro forum a few weeks ago. I'm glad it's not just me! I still haven't found a way to bring the icon back. Sent with love from one of my Samsungs

    Helllllp!.... I'm having a blonde moment of titanical proportions

    I use Lecturenotes the same way. I use it a lot for my genealogy research, so I downloaded a family group sheet and use that as a background image in Lecturenotes. Then it's just like writing on a "proper" form. It's a very versatile app. All it's lacking is the ability to sync. As for SNote...

    Writing and bumping buttons

    The same way you do, by turning the gnp upside down. I haven't found another way to overcome the problem. I use Lecturenotes a lot, and I've become used to the reversed buttons. I have my buttons lit up all the time, so it's always obvious which one is which even in low light conditions...

    Pen detached icon vanished

    I've just noticed that the little icon at the top left that tells me that my S-pen is out has vanished. I don't remember changing any settings, and I still get the vibration when I detach/attach the pen, so the Note knows when the pen is going in and out, it's just not showing the icon any more...

    Note Pro 12.2 spoils you for any other screen

    When I upgraded from the old 10.1 to the 2014 version, I was gobsmacked by the screen quality. I still am. My laptop screen is **** in comparison. And now I have the 12.2 as well, I hardly ever turn my laptop on, unless I need some serious keyboard use. I still look at the tiny, sharp text...

    A great S-pen feature

    I like Screen Write too. Now I have paperless statements for my credit cards, I can use Screen Write to scribble notes all over the statements, just like I used to with the paper versions. Sent with love from one of my Samsungs

    Galaxy Note 10.1: black or white?

    I've got 3 notes - 10.1, 10.1 2014, & 12.2 - and they're all white. They're all clean because I keep them in cases. The cases are filthy though. Sent with love from one of my Samsungs

    Would someone please test this in Hanword for me?

    Seems to be working fine for me. Have you got a dictionary selected? There's a 'Hancom Office Shared' app, which I think installs the dictionaries etc. You can check if you have any dictionaries to use by clicking on the icon circled in the image below. .. Sent with love from one of my Samsungs

    New here and have a question. What is the difference between tab and tablet?

    The 10.1 2014 is a fantastic machine - the display is outstanding and it's big enough for most things. It's a manageable size to carry around too. The 12.2 is also gorgeous, but a lot of apps don't make use of all the extra space - things are just magnified. I assume this will eventually change...
