    Has anyone used android auto with the Galaxy S8?

    sorry, I installed the app Android Auto on the phone first, then went to the car and plugged it in. Originally I was following the instructions I had to plug it into the car first, let it detect & install sync etc, no luck. Sit in your house, install the Android Auto app FIRST, then go & plug...

    Removable battery and sd card are a joke.

    I'm using a 128GB MicroSD in my Note 3 and loving it, along with a spare swappable battery.

    Smart move, it might be OK for a Child; beyond that I don't see much use for it.

    Oh my bad, I thought I read it wasn't. I'd would try to side load the app then and see what happens.

    Review: Bought a Sero 8

    Not really sure but I'm guessing maybe cause it's a dual-core vs a quad-core? I passed on sero 8 because the current model is more like a sero 7 LT, rather than the Pro; I've got way too many tablets now as it is, but I would have grabbed a Sero 8 just for grins if it had been more like an...

    Seriously thinner you say?? I just had a buddy go and get one of these only to find out it is Thicker than the Nexus 2013 NOT thinner. I just measured the Nexus 2013 as 8.65mm & his Sero 8 as 10.45mm, he was looking for cheap & thin as in your OP, but you've got that info wrong as well :(

    Many places list specs and say is does NOT have that feature, would you like links to several sites that list a Tablet and feature and then says does NOT have; wrong again.

    You are correct you will never convince me, out side of getting GPS through WfFi which I already stated, it does NOT have GPS. Yes I have that app and a whole lot more and the Sero is istting right infront of me next to one of my Samsung's, want to guess which one has GPS w/o WiFi ?

    Recommeding the Samsung Note Pro 12.2 is a very good recommendation, However as for checking specs, you say it doesn't mention it?? Where do you check specs? Try checking directly on Samsung's site, their specs certainly do show it has GPS: Samsung Galaxy Note ® Pro 64GB (Wi-Fi)

    Review: Bought a Sero 8

    Just like facts mis-reported for the Sero 8 Do this on your Sero 7 Pro, turn off WiFi, next open up google maps it will jus sit there and sit there, it has no idea where you are; then turn on & connect WiFi, presto it will show where you are. This is not based off an article, this is based on...

    Review: Bought a Sero 8

    To recap what I previously posted, a Budget Tablet is not for you then, not sure why you would buy a Budget Tablet without GPS IF that features is so important to you; Sero's never had GPS, it relies on the WiFi connection for that info. Other than you just wanted to play and do a review on...
