Galaxy Note Pro 12.2: Logitech Keyboard Case

[v133marl]

Sorry about that folks, my first post here and this is actually a response to Ion_NotePro's "initial thoughts", I sent it as a quote of the post above it (with no response/comment) by accident, and I don't know how to delete it so i am editing it. That said....

Concerning the stock Samsung auto brightness control comment: I don't like it either.

So i tried what I use on my cell phone, "Lux" auto brightness, and it actually works even better on the Note Pro. It takes a little getting used to how to use it and not everybody has the patience. There is an auto - setup that works okay, but I strongly suggest using the manual "link"ing of ambient light to a given brightness function. Set at least 10 levels/links (more really is better: I probably have 15 most near the zero to 150 mark), then go back in and manually edit them to their nearest "whole or logical" values. Nearest zero lux (very dim light) you need many more links (like every 10 or so lux increments) in the higher end you can step by hundreds.

NOTE: the settings are not remotely the same for different devices, my S3 tops out in the many tens of thousands, my note 2 below 6000 and note pro in the lowest thousands.

Takes time to get used to, but works flawlessly once set up right.

I do not use the auto sunset, or even manual night modes: I prefer to just adjust the regular color balance daytime settings, (I like the simple black and white/cold color balance) and sorry, I can't remember the differences between the free and paid versions, but do recommend you try the free first

Great info folks, I just ordered the 64gb note pro today and looking at cases now in advance. I just read reviews on Logitechs site that buyers have left and the very first one I read was that " the tablet can fall out of the case when changing positions"...anybody have the tablet pop out on them yet? The guy loves the case and keyboard and states he has had Zagg and others but that the design flaw in his mind is a major fail on Logitechs end and a deal breaker, I can understand that. I love Logitech stuff always have gone there first for peripherals. I'll wait until I hear from folks here about this issue if its in fact an issue or just a glitch, sadly.....
I got a bunch of tablets(Nexus 7.2, Tegra Note 7, Asus Memo Pad 10) and this will be my first Samsung...These are awesome aren't they??? I'm an older disabled guy and have a ball playing with these tablets....

I have the logitech keyboard/cover after trying both it and the Zagg. I note that one can indeed push the tablet out of the Logitech case if one doesn't pay attention when opening the case. However, learning to pay attention has completely overcome this issue for me. After looking at the situation very carefullyt, I believe the Logitech mounting system is well thought out to hold the tablet, prevent damage to the cosmetics of the tablet, and allow for easy removal of the tablet as desired. If one was willing to not have an easy insertion/removal of the tablet from the case then a locking clip at the bottom of the tablet would do the trick.

About "more is better", tip from Lux developer (tips are in the app):
- Having many linked samples does not improve the quality of adjustments. In fact, it can have the opposite effect.

I have 4 links created for Note 10.1 2014, works great.

Best case I've had for a tablet

I know this is old but just in case someone is looking, Swiftkey key board app allows you to use a physical keyboard (logitech) with spell check. Awesome find! I was about to return 3 tablets I had bought for the family because of no spell check on the logitech key boards.

Ive had the Logitech keyboard since last June and have no complaints. I love the feel of this keyboard out of several I tried. I work on my tablet daily as its replaced my laptop. I will surely use that app!

@Allan What settings did you use to turn on swift key spellcheck with the Logitech keyboard?

Can you elaborate on exactly what app you installed and anything you had to do to configure it? This is the one hiccup with this tablet, so much so I switched to cyangenmod to get spellcheck. I'd prefer to switch back though so I (and sounds like others) would be really interested in any information you can share.

@baude I think I have figured it out.

1. Install SwiftKey (now free)
2. Open Android Settings
3. Under Personal, open Language and input
4. Under Keyboards and input methods, Check SwiftKey Keyboard
5. Under Physical keyboard, I have my Pro Keyboard Case as the default
6. Close settings
7. Open a document and type with your keyboard and it should autocorrect.
8. Now the onscreen keyboard will be SwiftKey, but SwiftKey is pretty good so it is not a big deal for me. when you first type in something SwiftKey will pop-up on the screen, but after the first time I minimized it, it has not shown back up on screen at all when using my physical keyboard.
9. This is outstanding especially using the Apple Magic Track pad and the Pro Keyboard case!
