Actually strong magnets can affect the wacom digitizer on the Note 10.1 causing dead spots for the pen. I've had several cases with with magnets for the cover and have never experienced this myself, but I do personally other people who have had issues. It doesn't permanently damage the tablet...

Kik also shows when people are typing

I'm not sure if it works pass android Jellybean, but there are apps that can do that if your device is rooted(volume++ was one). Apps like that always add a lot of distortion to the sound and would not recommend it. You probably still will not understand what people are saying, and when ever...

I would only buy from retail dealers on Ebay not individuals. They would have thousands of previous transactions, and any problems other buyers would have posted negative reviews. Plus they usually have some type of return policy. There is no real way of verifying if a cell phone is legit. You...

Re: New to Samsung S5 coming from IPhone... few newb questions You can download another 3rd party launcher, which can add a lot of other functions that Touchwiz does not have. Almost all of the 3rd party launchers have themes that you can install to change the look. You do not have to rooted...

Make sure that the date and time on the phone is correct for that Google account. For some reason if it is not you will always get an error. I had the same problem.

Most electronics today are pretty expensive to fix, usually around 50 to75% of the price you paid, depending on what they have to replace. I've worked for Good Guys, Best Buy, and Circuit City, and if you didn't get the extended warranty your usually screwed(not saying you should always get the...

The default app is "My Files", but you can download much better file explorers. There are a ton of free and paid file explorers that are much more functional than the default one. I use "solid explorer". It has drag and drop function, multi window, and cloud storage viewer. I have the paid...

Stupid me, I have the tablet next to me, and I forgot I could must test it. The side switch definitely works at least to take a screen shot, so I'm assuming it will function the same as with the spen. The eraser also works in snote but it may not work in the app that you are using. If the app...

The s-pen holder kit you bought does work. You need to either remove the pen that is in the tablet or disable the battery saving option in the s-pen settings. I thought the same thing at first. But honestly you're better off getting a Wacom pen. Here is a web site that lists the wacom pens that...

I use Evernote on my Note 10.1(older model) and it's synced with my PC and S3. It works just fine with no problems. Just as a word of warning, if you are thinking of using the S-pen to take notes, Evernote does not have pen support. You would be typing all of the notes. You can use Skitch which...

HDMI is a digital signal, and the old rca cables are an anolog signal. You will always need some device to covert from digital to analog, which they do make. You can try connecting your phone using micro usb to HDMI to an "digital to analog converter box", which would then out put to your tv...

The only real downfall of the Note 10.1 2012 is the low resolution for such a big screen. Although not really a problem with daily use it does become noticeable when watching HD movies. I used my tablet mainly for sketching on the go, web browsing, and games, and the rez was fine for me. Mine...

You're better of than me. I graduated with BA in Illustration in 2000, went into retail, and didn't touch a pencil or brush until around 2010. I had to teach myself to paint all over again on the computer. Right now I'm just doing commissions to build up my portfolio and get my skills up to...

I have a Note 10.1 which I just replaced(about a week ago) with an Ativ 700t running Windows 8. The Note is fine for sketching and doing roughs but that's about it. The apps available on Android are too basic. Now with my Ativ I am using Photoshop CS6 and couldn't be happier. I got mine...
