    Google Error Messages on Note 10.1

    I did the update. All seems to work - for now. Thanks. I was hoping that the update might in the least update the original Note 10.1 to the same Android version as the Note 10.1 2014. I have had the original for just four months and I am very annoyed that Samsung consistently, device after...

    What does the Samsung firmware update do other than fix this problem?

    Samsung Galaxy Note 10 - S Note 2014 text conversion

    In any application, go to the keyboard and hold the microphone key for a few seconds and a window will pop up with three icons. Choose the middle one - a T with a pen next to it. Click on that. A lined yellow pad will open on the bottom half of the screen where the keyboard was. Write on that...

    Google Error Messages on Note 10.1

    I tried as suggested and all that worked was uninstalling updates to put Google Search back to stock. Now it works. I am not going to update again unless I have to. Thanks.

    Google Error Messages on Note 10.1

    Recently when my Note 10.1 started I was getting a message saying "Google Plus Cannot Start" and then a box to close or report. I went into the App Manager and uninstalled all updates to Google Plus. I don't use Google Plus so I don't really care. This seemed to fix the problem and I don't get...

    Direct Connect to Camera by USB - how to change default "Import" folder location?

    I have just gotten the Samsung USB connector for the original Note 10.1. It works fine with USB drives, SD Card adapters, and my digital camera - but the digital camera when plugged into the Note opens to the Gallery on the Note 10.1 and not as an SD drive. The only place it seems to be able to...

    Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 - Cannot Play new videos uploaded or downloaded to the Note 10.1

    Try installing another media player app and see if these videos play. They may be incompatible for some reason with the stock player. The other possibility is that the video files are being corrupted during the transfer for some reason.

    Newbie SD card question

    Do the actual file names show Episode 1, 2, etc.? The easiest way is to use a file manager app (ES File Explorer for example) and open the Ext SD card, go to the folder with the show files where you will see the actual file names, click on the one you want to see and it will ask you what you...

    Accessories change because of the 2014 Note 10.1

    I just got off the support chat with Samsung and their answer was too bad, what is made for the Note 10.1 2014 will not work with the original Note 10.1. Old accessories will be available only as long as Samsung factory parts stocks them as they disappear from retailers. So if you are...

    Accessories change because of the 2014 Note 10.1

    Now that the Note 10.1 is out and has done away with the 30 pin input connector and instead has a standard micro usb input, the accessories line for the Note 10.1 has changed. The 30 pin charger has started to disappear from retailers (I know of two stores that no longer stock it) and...

    Planning to buy note 10.1, help needed...!!!

    The 2014 is out. Best Buy has it (at least in wifi) and the prices on the original model have not changed any. There is about $50 difference between the two models with the 2014 showing the increase. It is more of a matter of how long Samsung will supply the original or will they not be shipping...

    Handwriting Emails-- Does it work?

    Wherever you can type you can handwrite - using the handwriting screen that will fill the bottom of the display. To put handwriting in a specific spot - like moving from the subject field to the body of the email, just touch the screen in the body with the pen and then go to the handwriting...

    S Pen drawing or art app?

    Thank you starbuckk - When I first opened PSTouch I did not see that a blank image can be created to draw on. It kept asking me to open an image file. I played with it tonight after reading your reply and found out how to do that. I also did not know about the way to delete the background of an...
