    Where to buy Tab S 8.4?

    I've only seen the new Tab S at Best Buy for MSRP. BTW, this is the Pro 8.4 section, not Tab S. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    What do you primarily use your Tab Pro 8.4 for?

    I watch movies on the 8.4. I use MXPlayer and I crop the image to full which only cuts a small portion off the left and right but the video is as big as it would be on the iPad air. The contrast is very nice on this tab and the video looks much crisper than a Nexus 7.

    Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 Battery Won't Charge Without Reboot

    This happened only the first time I tried to charge my tab. The battery indicated not charging so I rebooted the tab and tried again. Second time worked and I haven't had an issue since.

    Power Saving Mode not saving power

    I have yet to see the difference between regular mode and power saving mode. I recently gave up trying to stretch the battery life on my Pro as it seemed I was obsessing over the battery life more than just using the tab. I'm lucky to get 5 to 6 hours of use on this thing (screen on time). I...

    What do you primarily use your Tab Pro 8.4 for?

    I have had mine for three weeks now. I have used it for some gaming, Netflix and downloaded TV shows when on the go, but I'm really enjoying using it as a fitness tracker. I'm starting to watch what I eat and there are some good apps out there to track daily workouts and calorie intake. My only...

    Nexus 7 vs Tab Pro 8.4

    I would concur with armwood's post. The screen on the Pro 8.4 is vastly superior to the Nexus 7 2013. I own both and have been able to carve a niche for each and use them for different purposes. For the Nexus 7 2013, having owned it for 10 months now, it has pretty much been relegated to...

    Resize weather widget?

    FWIW, if you're willing to use another launcher (I use Nova) you can resize the weather widget included with your Tab Pro.

    Wallpapers and widgets seen in promo shots?

    So is there a resource for Samsung users with other "tabs" to get access to these wallpapers? Forgive my ignorance, the 8.4 Pro is my first Samsung tab that wasn't the Nexus 10!

    Galaxy Tab S 8.4 VS Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4

    Yes, they do 14 day price guarantee. I believe 30 day returns are standard. So even if they fight you on the price match, you could just return one and buy at the lower price.

    Galaxy Tab S 8.4 VS Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4

    Be sure to get back to Best Buy and get the price match for the $249.99 sale. Will net you back $30 plus tax!!! This is an in store only sale. Not sure when it ends, but my guess is they're clearing inventory of the Pro 8.4s.

    heads up BestBuy selling the new an Pro 8.4 $249

    storino03 is right...it was YMMV. I don't think it's available anymore, but it was only if you purchased it online at BBY's website for $329.99 then you got $50 GC shipped to you. If you selected pick up in store, they automatically adjusted your price down to $249.99 with a credit for the...

    Case/stand for movie viewing

    I bought the Fintie case off Amazon for less than $9 and find it great for multiple viewing angels, expecially for video playback Sent from my SM-T320 using Tapatalk

    Galaxy Tab S 8.4 VS Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4

    Thanks for the link to the reviews. It makes sense now why video playback helps the over all battery life for the tab s. I'm content with my tab pro 8.4 though after seeing the graphics comparisons. Sent from my SM-T320 using Tapatalk

    heads up BestBuy selling the new an Pro 8.4 $249

    Just wait...in a month it'll be $199.99. But, I too couldn't resist at $249.99 considering the $50 GC BB bonus, $25 Play store credit, three audio books, 50gb dropbox and yadda yadda!!! Sent from my SM-T320 using Tapatalk
