Have the Tab S 10.5, ask me anything!

Can you use the s note app and a stylus to take notes and draw on the tab s? Thanks in advance :)
You can download s note from Galaxy app store and use a stylus but it would be like those stylus you can use on iPhone or any other typical device and not like what you get on the note 3 of note tablet series.
 
Can I use a finer tipped stylus? Is the point sensitivity as fine as on the note series?

How do I stop the screen from staying on, after it finishes charging?
I plug it in, turn off the screen, and go away. When I return, the screen is on. Not good for the screen.
When I am using it, the screen goes off, after two minutes of inactivity.
Thanks

It is even worse for amoled screens since those lifespan is typically less then LCD. There might be an option for it in developer mode or somewhere I forgot. If n9t exchange it
 
I Have Photo Mate R2 on the tab s and a 64 GB memory card installed.
What I want to do is get the Photo Mate R2 to see the photos on the card, it can see the demo photos on the tab but not the ones on the card.
If this is not possible how do I move photos too and from the card to the tablet.
I Can move stuff from the card to my computer and vice versa but I just want to know the easiest way to move stuff to and from the card when in the tablet.
Thanks for your help

I may dense, stupid, but probably both. Why would you leave the Tab on when your charging it unless you are using it at the same time in which case it wouldn't matter.
 
How suitable are these amoled basis tablets where the primary use is for reading magazines and black/white technical manually where you will be having the same static screen for a period of time.

Also do amoled really have such a shorter life span compared to lcds, searches I've done seemed to always bring back 6 year old reports, earlier one report life span getting closer to lcd and when I work out my used would equate to 8yrs of usages, I would be looks to get at least 4-5 years life out of a device

You will probably get 4-5 years out of it. LCD screens do have a longer life span but I think the difference is negligible since you'll upgrade before it happens.
 
speaking of developer mode, where or how do I set it for debug or developer mode? It seems to be hidden.
 
Can't seem to find debug mode or developer mode on my rooted Tab S 10.5. Any idea where it's hiding?
 
For you who want to turn off the screen while charging....
Go to settings, device, display, then look on the right corner to find the Advanced section. Make sure your screen saver is off. (Not green) Voila!

It's funny you should say that, because I have the Pro 10.1 and I don't think it's that fast, my 2 year old iPhone 5 beats it in many things, especially graphics-heavy things. I hope it can beat that.
 
Hey there - I have a Tab S 10.5, 32 GB that I purchased from Best Buy a couple months back. I love the device, but man, the thing goes through battery fast. I don't even use it that much - no gaming, not streaming or watching media, just some light weight web browsing on WiFi. It just seems to drain. I charged it to 100% last night, and have been doing some light use of internet today and I have already dropped almost 10% after an hour and is telling me that I have 2 hours of use remaining. I thought I was supposed to get 11 hours! I'm worried, because I bought this thing to travel with (trips to Europe, Australia and South America). I don't think this think would make it through half a flight on one of these. Do I have something set up wrong, or do I have a bum battery?

I average around 4 Hours of Screen time with the thing and standby depends on how much i use it. I have gone 4 days without much use and got it to last 5-7 days till 10%
 
I'm in dilemma between Tab S and Note Pro.
Personally I prefer Tab S because of its superiority in display. However, what I'm looking for is a device for educational purposes (note taking etc.). Therefore, Note Pro seems to be a more suitable choice.

Just wonder if Tab S with a stylus pen can work as good as the Note Pro with its built in S-pen. Please give me some advice. Thanks.
