    Compass app for Galaxy Active 2?

    Hi, I received a Galaxy Active 2 watch (Bluetooth only) for Christmas and love it! It is connected to my Note 10+ phone. Since it has GPS, I'm surprised that there are no built-in map/navigation apps - or at least, I can't find one on the watch or in the Galaxy Wearable app. I'm also looking...

    Seeking recommendations for an accurate stylus pen

    Sorry, I didn't realize it got posted in the Note 20 forum. I certainly didn't go there intentionally.

    Seeking recommendations for an accurate stylus pen

    I have been using a couple of Meko high-sensitive styluses with disc tips and am looking for a replacement, as they are getting old and losing sensitivity. They have worked well compared to the regular round tip styluses but are not particularly accurate for drawing precise lines or coloring...

    Looking for an 8-inch tablet with 2048x1536 resolution.

    Not quite sure what you're asking but it has the basic stock Android as far as I can tell. There doesn't seem to be anything unique to Lenovo. Display is great but performance is mediocre. One of the games I play, Gardenscapes, gets laggy after playing for a while and I have to clear out the...

    Looking for an 8-inch tablet with 2048x1536 resolution.

    Received the Lenovo Tab M8 today (it only took 4 days directly from Lenovo) and it's exactly what I had in the mind. In the picture below (Not sure why it's rotated), the first is a screenshot from my ASUS, the second is the Lenovo, and the third is the Samsung Tab A. You can see a big...

    Looking for an 8-inch tablet with 2048x1536 resolution.

    Yes, the M8. I ordered it for the 1920x1200 screen resolution, which is the highest I've seen for an 8 inch tablet ( except for my 5 year old Asus). It's supposed to get here tomorrow and I hope it's up to expectations!

    Looking for an 8-inch tablet with 2048x1536 resolution.

    Thanks for mentioning Lenovo. I found an 8-inch one at Verizon with 1920 x 1200 resolution for about $225 but I wasn't able to buy it without also purchasing monthly cellular service, which I don't need. So then I checked the Lenovo website and found the same thing without cellular for $100 less...

    Looking for an 8-inch tablet with 2048x1536 resolution.

    My 8-inch Asus Zenpad Z580C is 5 years old and still running Android 5.0, which can't be updated. I have to keep freeing up memory to play games and it often crashes but it has the best screen resolution (2048 x 1536) I've seen Graphics are sharp and colors are vivid. I am trying to find...

    Swipe keyboard input

    Thanks everyone. I bought the Note 10 Plus and am happy to report that Swype works quite well using my finger and even better with the stylus. (It still insists on substituting words that don't make any sense for the words that I meant :p though).

    Swipe keyboard input

    I think I tried the keyboard on two different phones - a Note 10+ and an S10 and neither of them accepted swipe input.

    Swipe keyboard input

    Thanks, I'm relieved. I looked in the settings but I guess I was looking in the wrong place. Do you get to the keyboard settings from the gear-wheel?

    Swipe keyboard input

    Hi, Had the opportunity to play with the Note 10+ at the Costco wireless kiosk and am very impressed with the beautiful display. However, the default keyboard does not support swipe input (using the stylus or my finger) and I could not find any way to turn on this capability in the settings. I...

    Swipe not working unless phone is held OR in contact with metal!

    Update: Verizon has kindly replaced my phone again (the third replacement). This one works (at least so far)! I can swipe left, right, up, down and enter my security pattern while the phone is lying on a any surface. The one thing I didn't do that I had done with the two previous phones was to...

    Swipe not working unless phone is held OR in contact with metal!

    Thank you, ratsttam. You are the first person I've come across that seems to have encountered a similar problem. I tried the wet finger test - it seems to work a bit but I'm not sure. Will try again.

    Swipe not working unless phone is held OR in contact with metal!

    I have a most peculiar problem and have not been able to get an answer after speaking with Verizon, Motorola, and in several other forums. Nobody seems to have heard of this problem but I have had it on at least two Moto Z phones - maybe three! This is what's happening. It does not accept swipe...
