    poetic slimline is junk

    I love mine, it's been dropped, bitten by a horse, smashes around in my backpack and white coat pocket and showed no wear. What did crack that plastic corner nub? Just catching the edge of my desk when setting it down fairly normally. It still lasted months more before it broke and I crazy glued...

    10.1 (2014) Idiosyncrasies

    The update centers the drop down so width of it in landscape is equal to its width filling portrait. I'm in the hate it camp lol. Minimum number of settings buttons is full row across so 7. I had occasional issues with menu button but doesn't really happen anymore, I'm in landscape 100% of the...

    KitKat Update: Likes and Dislikes

    Thanks! I will probably have to soon there's just some things that are really getting to me. Is anyone else unable to set default keyboard? I had mine set to full landscape keyboard and now it either pops up in partial qwerty or yellow handwriting and that is always unusable now-it's missing the...

    KitKat Update: Likes and Dislikes

    My streak of luck with the 10.1 seems to have ended with the kit kat update. I never had any lag issues, had great battery life, and was absolutely in love with mine from day one when I got it in Oct 2013. I switched to nova launcher prime, not for speed (again it was already lightning) but for...

    Note 10.1 How are you using it to Work?

    I am in the final transition year of vet school, so I use it 14-16hrs a day. We still have some lectures so it takes notes and records, multi window allows me to grab info/charts/graphics etc from web/textbooks/etc to implant into my notes. In labs its great for a tech to hold for me when i need...

    Hmm am I the only one who dislikes the new ui on the 4.4.2 update?

    I dislike it, aesthetically I find it unattractive, the drop down menu is horrid, the multi window is more difficult and minimum width is now in effect, I cant selectively clear notifications and mostvof the time selection something on the notification menu does nothing. going to make sure my...

    How fragile is the S Pen?

    I wore mine out after 3 weeks of crazy heavy use writing, second lasted 1.5 months. It still worked with the rubber completeoy chunked off just using inner plastic core! (dont recommend unless you are 5000mi ftom replacements and have a screen protector). I got 2014 replacement s pen with 6 more...

    Installing Flash Player?

    A lot of people that recently purchased this tablet are having issues with playing flash amazon videos. I gave instructions on my product review so they have all done EXACTLY what I did to get it working fine on mine this past October. But they are getting an error message from Amazon. Any...

    Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) Battery life sucks, as does charging

    Re: Battery life sucks, as does charging Does anyone know where VDC530's guide can be found now? Its removed from XDA and android central and I had wanted to forward a bunch of people to where they can read it. Thanks!

    Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) Battery life sucks, as does charging

    Re: Battery life sucks, as does charging Forgive me if I missed you mentioning this previously or in another thread but did you do a factory reset after the updates on either tablet? If you can't get more than a few hours than that is absolutely unacceptable especially in two different tablets.

    Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) Battery life sucks, as does charging

    Re: Battery life sucks, as does charging I use my tablet heavily 16-17hrs a day. As soon as I got it I went in and turned off/disabled much of the unnecessary stuff I have no use for and that are not needed for all the things I use this tablet for. I will admit I never have the screen...

    Nova Launcher Disables an app at every restart

    Have had nova launcher (full version) for 5 days now, really like the customization and not having to deal with My magazines etc, but it disables Google Play Magazine app at every restart- removes the icon and every single time I have to go into Play store, enable it, re-add the icon. This is...

    [REVIEW] COD iONIC Screen Protector - Anti-Glare vs Ultra Clear

    Thank you so much for this, l ordered them blindly on Amazon because I needed something FAST as it had to make an international flight 4 days later. Unfortunately, even though I chose overnight shipping and delivery date gave me 2 days to spare, the seller was still "processing" the shipment on...
