I was afraid of that. I really want to use the tablet as a laptop alternative away from the desk with the main task being writing and editing. But if the dang document won't load, makes the whole thing useless. Anyone know of a tablet with better specs that I can use this way? Looked at cheap...

I use LibreOffice on my desktop and Collabora on my tablet and phone. I also use Calibre on my desktop and Calibre Companion on both phone and tablet. When I use Calibre Companion on my phone (S21 Ultra) and I tell it to download a book, it is done in, like, seconds. With the tablet, same book...

No, I was not. I've only used it once or twice. I was trying to decide if VPN on my desktop.

Oooookay. I had installed Malwarebytes about a half hour ago. I uninstalled it, along with Webroot, Webroot Wifi (a VPN app) and the next two apps that were updated. Buzzing stopped. Reinstalled one (Highway Weather) of the apps. Rebooted, no buzz. Reinstall the 2nd (Skype), no buzz...

I already did the safe mode. The buzzing stopped. According to Google Play, two apps may have been updated from when I unplugged it last night to where I plugged it back in this morning. I uninstalled both and rebooted. No difference. I'll do the safe mode again in a few minutes.

Just did the wipe cache. No effect. No notification. No weather alerts. No texts or calls that got stuck. I've done several antivirus checks with two different apps. Just the pulsing buzz. I tried to take a video of it with my tablet but it shakes too much. I'm wondering if it is the battery...

I used my Google Fu but didn't find a solid answer. Note 8 SM-N950U software version N950USQS7DTA5 hardware version REV1.0 Today the phone had 79%. I plugged it in to charge. It now vibrates while being charged. I tolerated the buzz for as long as I could and it went to 81%. Symptoms: Plug...

So it is a cellular thing only? Whatever for? That's...stupid. Tablets get notifications too.

I love my iOttie. They have come out with a wireless charging one. I have the iOttie Easy One Touch for my Note 8. Since it fits a wide variety of phones, I won't have to get another for my Note 10+. I have never found one that worked with a vent. Not with the heavier Notes. Tried them (can't...

The only place I see it mentioned is on the Verizon site. Maybe it is a cellular option? But that would be weird.

That was it! Thanks! I haven't had the chance to dig around in there yet.

Is this a screensaver of some sort? My tablet is off (not powered down, just screen off) and it is doing this color rotation glowing thing. Kinda spooky. If I tap it, the lock screen appears. When the time out for the lock screen is over, it goes back to the color glowing thing whatsit. Is my...

That's the one I ordered. Should be here tomorrow. Until then, I'm being extremely careful with it. I'm a klutz. You should see my poor Note 8! I dropped it before the shield arrived.

It worked just fine for years, despite being locked into the one OS version. My partner broke her tablet and borrowed mine while I try to find a solution. When I got mine back, it no longer charged. Not even a blip of a charge. I like my tablets big and with a pen. And Samsung's only got one or...

I'm still loving this phone. But I'm encountering a problem. It is most likely not related to the phone but to Android OS and, most likely, the sender. My mom is ill and my step dad started a group message so he could send stuff out to everyone at once. Except his sister is included. I'm not...
