    New Prime Day S7+. And thoughts about tablet home page.

    Got a nice hefty price break on S7+. I know there is likely a new model on the horizon but will likely require a second mortgage to get one :D. Upgrading from an S3 which still is great and I'm sure one of my family members will put to good use. I'm curious why there is a seeming lack of the...

    Split tunneling for VPN not working?

    Are you using a commercial VPN provider or VPN from employer or client/customer? Some businesses and government agencies block split tunneling.

    March 2020, Galaxy Tab S3 Security Patch is out. (U.S.)

    Probably none. It's a security patch so likely all "under the hood"

    Anyone looking to upgrade to the S6?

    Nope. Still totally happy with the S3. Battery starting to get tired but still holds out through the day.

    Where is the Pie update?!

    I thought it was September. But yah if they follow through I'm betting end of August. Still works great. Will be nice to be at same level as my Note 9 though.

    April 1, 19 Security patch

    They rarely seem to give tablets the same care they give phones. The Note 10.1 was abandoned to soon also.

    Why doesn't the S4 pen work on my Note9?

    The reason is to save battery power. Turning of the spen connectivity when the pen is parked will reduce power consumption. You can disable this. But the main benefit to me of using the tablet pen is the size. So when I want to use the larger pen I still pull the phone pen out of the slot rather...

    Why doesn't the S4 pen work on my Note9?

    Maybe a very basic question but this threw me off with my Tab S3 pen and Note 9... was the Note 9 Spen out of the slot when you tested the S4 pen on the Note 9? Spen function on Note 9 is disabled if pen is in the slot.

    Immediate and auto backup of notes - Galaxy Note 9

    S Notes can be side loaded from a few locations. I can actually still see it on Galaxy Apps on my Note 9, but not from my Tab S3 strangely. It syncs with Evernote.

    Thinking about switching from iPhone to Note 9. Should I wait?!?

    There is always going to be some new gadget "just around the corner." The Note 9 is a great phone. Just for perspective I stuck with a Note 4 for 5 years. It took the big wow of the Note 9 to win me over. Still play with my Note 4 occasionally using it as a customization sandbox.

    How Do You Carry Your Note9?

    OneTigris MOLLE Phone Pouch for 4.7" 5.5" Phone with Slim Case (Black - 1000D Nylon) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NYZWWRW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_taa_fb0SCbNN3CXM6?tag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU6528322 I found that most holsters that use clips slide off belt to easily. This one uses two straps...

    Does anyone actually use bixby?

    I been trying to use Bixby and Google assistant more. It seems they each have certain abilities the other does not. Bixby has better control over phone settings while Google assistant does better with internet activities. But now I realize I'm having the same issue as another poster. Voice...

    How long does everyone anticipate keeping the Note 9?

    Kept my Note 4 until the note 9 came out. Almost 5 years! Unless they really wow me or kill 4g, or can't get a bad battery replaced I'm happy. I could have gone longer with the note 4 and not been too disappointed.

    Sync S Notes from my Note 9 to my pc

    Do you mean Samsung Notes or did you download S-note? With S-note you can set it up to sync through Evernote. With Samsung Notes I think you are out of luck.
