I've tried it with a standard HDMI display. It works for me. Unfortunately, my TV is mounted on the wall and is too large and too high up to make a decent monitor for my tablet. But it does allow me to display different apps on different screens like an extended display. I don't like just...

Everywhere I look, people are explaining how to use your Android tablet as a second display for a Windows PC or MAC. I don't want to do that. I hate using Windows. I have multiple Android tablets (Tab S7 is my primary) as well as multiple Android phones. Everything is Samsung. I want to use a...

I prefer a trackpad over a mouse, as it's easier on my carpel tunnel syndrome.

There are many apps that the developer restricts purposefully from being allowed to be resized. However, if you use Developer Mode, you can over-ride the manifest values and make all windows resizable. To enable Developer Mode, go into Settings, then About Phone. From there, tap on "Software...

You just need to use the "Call and Text on other devices" feature. Turn it on on both Samsung devices and your calls and texts will come through on both devices. It should already be installed on both devices, as it comes built-in on those. You'll need to search "call and text on other devices"...

Yes, charge is only for the Bluetooth functionality, which is mostly the remote control and gesture features of the pen. If you aren't going to use those, you'll not need to worry about charging. If you do use those, it's comforting to know it only takes 5 minutes to charge the pen completely...

I'm using a heavily customized Square Home launcher. I prefer a home screen that has access to everything I need without having to scroll through pages of icons to find an app, even when using a less often used one. Category folders let me organize it all, and still keep it fairly minimalistic...

I do not use the OneDrive app for this. It's very restrictive and useless in most cases, especially when I have a specific place for different types of files, or if I need to download multiple files. I use CX File Explorer. I've set up OneDrive as a location, Google Drive, and Dropbox. I'm...

If you don't want another person to see installed apps from within the Play Store, then install something like Norton App Lock (free) and put the Play store in the list. No one will be able to open the Play store without the passcode. As many as you wish to the list. It can be temporarily...

While Android 9 completely blocked the feature, and Android 10 went further, there is an app that works perfectly on the S20 series, most all Samsung on Android 10, as well as many other major brands phones. I am not affiliated with the software, but I use it. It's called "Call Recorder (No...

If your getting it from the Samsung store, open the Samsung store app, tap hamburger menu icon, then the gear icon to enter settings. Tap on notifications. You'll see the following. Set them accordingly.

Once Kroger pay is set up, then open the Kroger app at the store and there will be a long button for Kroger pay. You have to be at the store to get the convenient access to it. No widgets.

Alas, my A71 doesn't arrive until Tuesday. I made the purchase after seeing many reviews from trusted sources. Battery life was a big plus to all who reviewed it. Runs very well for a mid-range, but it's no flagship. The screen is super-AMOLED and is gorgeous. Whether or not it's the right...

For me, it's easier to use Kroger Pay now that they've finally made it easier on their app. Scan the QR code displayed by the app, scan your groceries, hit mobile pay, and you're done. Loyalty card and payment in one, so it saves a step there. I need my loyalty points for the gas savings.

The Square Home launcher has a setting to allow to keep a folder open when returning to the home screen, if that's your cup of tea.
