    AllShare Cast Dongle on Tab 2 10.1 (P5113) US *Long Post but need help*

    Just following up - I recently got Chromecast and this works great with the Tab 2 10.1. So now I'll retire my wired HDTV adapter.

    my samsung galaxy tab 2 won't charge please help!

    Most of the time, it seems most people find it is a bad cable (not the tab or the charger). If you only have 1 cable, you'll want to buy another. There a several cheap ones online. I think I picked up 3 for $5 The build quality is cheap (seems weaker), but they all work OK.

    Why does Mobile Data need to be turned on to send photos?

    I didn't see anyone mention this, but instead of sending an image via text/sms - just send it in an email (like gmail) and the photos will be sent just fine via your Wifi connection.

    Why are there no phones that sync with Outlook anymore?

    Re: why are there no phones that sync with Outlook anymore? Download the latest Kies 3 software from Samsung. It will sync with Outlook. I've been doing it fine.

    Why is Samsung referring to the Note 3 as the "flagship" device?

    This thread seems strange - S4 and Note3 are like 2 different lines. The S4 is a large phone and the Note 3 is a phablet. So I'd buy the one that is the size of what I want. For me, who cares which is the latest and greatest if it's too big to put in my pocket. I got the S4 (didn't want the...

    AT&T software update disabled my foxfi hotspot

    Not sure what to make of this. Verizon is still charging for tethering and in another thread I read that the latest update disables foxfi. So obviously they are not complying with what that article from last year states - perhaps it was overturned or they've found a loop-hole.

    AT&T software update disabled my foxfi hotspot

    OMG... I almost busted a gut when I read that. No, tethering is not supported on the Verizon metered plans. I have both Verizon and AT&T phones and they do the same thing (telling you to sign up for the feature). The big American carriers are optimizing their profits by making use buy tether...

    Why do most people hate TouchWiz?

    Re: Why does almost everyone dislike TouchWiz? I'm just really really curious... On why people buy this phone, instead of blaming ads or 'its the in thing' - how about my reason. This is the best premier phone on the market with the features I want. I considered HTC and Nexus. Many of the phone...

    AllShare Cast Dongle on Tab 2 10.1 (P5113) US *Long Post but need help*

    I had purchased this from AT&T shortly after I got my Tab. It was new and they got the impression from the Samsung Rep (who recent gave a demo) that it worked with all the Samsung devices. But I couldn't get it to work and after going back to AT&T they said they were mistaken and Samsung...

    Back panel "SAMSUNG" letters fall off.

    Maybe stating the obvious, but has anyone contacted their carrier about getting a warranty replacement?

    smart stay problem

    I upgraded from S3 to S4 last week (I killed my S3...). I agree smart stay on the S4 is not as good. Pretty much doesn't work at all for me when I have my glasses on and I hold it at normal distances. I gotta hold the screen 12 to 18 inched from my face and then it works, but that's just a PITA.

    Google keyboard

    Let's see... There were 21 words in your message and you have one typo. 'topping' instead of 'typing'. So that's 95% correct. :)
