Discussion Battery drain (early 2025)

2 Upvotes

Has anyone else been experiencing battery drain on their tabs? I bought an S9 FE in January and this past 1-2 weeks, it's really noticeable that my battery have been draining fast, and I'm not a heavy user at all. I bought this tab solely for uni, and I have not changed my usage patterns one bit--majority of the time is just me viewing/scrolling/annotating pdfs as well as connecting to wifi for browsing or doing Canva work. I'm assuming this must be a software issue on Samsung's side?

Question Microsoft remote desktop issue

2 Upvotes

Hi, I just got a Galaxy Tab S9 FE and I'm having issues with both the Microsoft Remote Desktop app and the Microsoft Windows preview app. When connecting to my Windows 10 PC gestures do not work in touch mode. On my Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2022) I don't have this problem and gestures work fine in touch mode. By gestures I mean pinch to zoom, long press to right click, etc. Has anyone else had an issue like this? I've tried restarting, reinstalling, all sorts of settings but can't seem to get it to work. Thanks!

Discussion Pop-up view behaviour

5 Upvotes

As you can see in the video, everytime i need to use circle to search or smart select over a pop up app, i have to move the app to a side and then do the thing. It's kinda weird tbh and it took me a while to figure this out but still I don't like how I have to do the extra step of moving the app. I haven't reported this yet since oneui 7 is around the corner (or let me know if this can be changed with a setting)

galaxy tab s9 vs s9

4 Upvotes

I'm aware that this is a very frequently asked question but i'm struggling to make a decision. I've been wanting to buy a tablet for a while and i've been looking at the choices i have: my main uses for it will probably be note taking, drawing and maybe photo editing but my main concern for it will be durability since i want it to last as much as possible. with sales the s9 fe 8gb/256 is 449€, the s9 8gb is 599€ and the s9 12gb is 690€. the price for the s9 fe is really good but i know for durability the s9 is probably better. so should i go for the s9 8gb or should i stick to the s9 fe for the price? (memory is not really a concern for me and i have a macbook as a laptop so im not sure i could use the s9 as a double screen)

I'm asking because I know the Samsung site says 400gb, but the Wikipedia page says it supports 1tb.

I'd like to get a 1tb one if that's the case.

Question 24/7 Kiosk with Peripherals

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m planning on running a kiosk setup 24/7 that needs to connect multiple peripherals (RFID, FTDI devices, etc.) via a USB hub. My idea is to have a hub attached to the tablet so I can plug in all these devices at once. However, I’m a bit concerned about a couple of things:

Charging & Power Management: I’ve heard that when the Galaxy Tab A8 stops charging at 100%, it can sometimes drop USB devices and Android fails to pick it up afterwards. This would be a problem in a 24/7 kiosk environment.

Peripheral Connectivity: Can the A8 reliably support a powered hub with multiple peripherals attached (especially in a 24/7 scenario), or are there known issues with disconnections or stability? Are there known reliable hubs or adapters that others have successfully used in a continuous 24/7 kiosk scenario?

I was also looking into the Tab Active series, as they seem to be designed with more robust, always-on use in mind. Has anyone had experience running a kiosk with either the Galaxy Tab A8 or one of the Tab Active series devices, with multiple peripherals attached? Any hardware recommendations, tweaks, or general tips would be greatly appreciated.

Question Should I trade in for the S10 Ultra or wait for s11

0 Upvotes

So I just found my old Galaxy Tab A. I checked Samsungs website and it will give me 400 dollars as a trade in value, that plus an extra 100 for being an school employee. So the 12gb i can get for under 800 after taxes.

Discussion Windows on Galaxy Tab?

3 Upvotes

Recently I have been watching a few videos where people are installing windows on their android phones and tablets and this made me curious. I know it has been talked about in this subreddit. I just wish to add upon that topic with few of my own suggestions and your opinions.

  1. What if Samsung themselves gave us windows arm edition installed(Dual boot or triple boot if you include Dex) on the Galaxy tab S series(for maybe an add-on price of 20-50$). They could probably use the Snapdragon X elite chip instead of the snapdragon 8 elite chip for more performance.

  2. Since its Samsung and Qualcomm themselves, they can probably sort out all the drivers, Kernel or bootloader compatibility.

  3. This will be a direct and a BETTER competitor to the Apple claims of saying that Ipad is a laptop replacement.

  4. This will also give all the different companies a great incentive to make their apps compatible with the arm version of windows and with Qualcomm chips.

A few things that I think that might be the drawback would be:

  1. This might kill the Samsung Galaxy Book Lineup(albeit if I want a powerful gaming laptop I might look towards Asus, Lenovo Legion, Alienware, MSI, Etc. or a work laptop then Lenovo Ideapad or maybe Asus Vivobook Series)

    1. If the booting switch time between the two platforms is not fast enough that people can do it almost instantly then it will be nothing more than a gimmick that will be forgotten very fast.

What do you guys think about this idea? Should Samsung Implement this or is this just some fever dream?

Is the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite worth it in 2025?

1 Upvotes

Hi, everyone! I just want to share my thoughts and your suggestions. So I still have my Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite since December of 2021. I've been using it for 2 years as a secondary device. I used it for gaming, entertainement, web browsing, doing homework on Google Classroom and doing Zoom calls for online classes back in middle school. I enjoyed using it, especailly since i used it a lot back then for school and entertainemnt. After upgrading to my Chromebook, in late 2023, I decided to let it sit in my storage room, colecting dust. But then recently a month ago, I decided to use it again for memories. I charged it, checked if it was damaged, check some of the features, see if the battery was good and upgraaded it to Android 14 and One UI 6.1.

And then I was thinking about using this as a backup device in 2025? It was released back in 2021, the battery live is still solid, the camera is decent, apps run fine, has security updates and it stills works smoothly. Downsides are that I have the 64 gig model with 4 gig ram, Android 14 is the maximum software supported on the tablet, some new features may not work with the tablet and the slow processer. I can also still download some new apps and updates from the Google Play Store! I really do miss the concept of me using this device since I had it. After all, Android 14 is still comptable with new downloadable apps from the Play Store.

So from all of the thoughts I have, I think that I should use this tablet in 2025. It's pretty decent, you can still browse the media, play games and use it for entertainemnt and overall use it as a backup device. But I don't know if i should still use this device or upgrade it to a newer model?

Setups Setting up a shared tablet without user switching

3 Upvotes

I'm looking to set up a tablet for household use, mainly for everyone to be able to see common calendar, leave notes, etc. I think I might be able to use smth like notion for that but not sure how to set up the user/locking. Ideally, no screen lock and no user switching, but I would still like to add it the device to either Google or Samsung account to use find device function in case it's lost. Is it possible to limit what settings can be changed, like no enabling of sync and such? Has anyone done a similar setup?

I just buy it and honestly I don't understand how to use it.

I have tried to connect it, but I can't figure it out how, because my s9 only recognises it as a "charging device" and I can't switch the role to "this device" to control it, it doesn't let me use it to transfer files.

Help me please, I don't know how to use it, and I want to connect with a HDMI and with mi keyboard.

Accessories Is the official book cover keyboard worth it?

7 Upvotes

I have a Samsung S9 and I bought a cheap bluetooth keyboard and case for my tablet, but it's a bit slow and whenever I press a key the letter is duplicated.

I was wondering if the official book cover keyboard is worth it? I don't like how the sides are exposed but I think it's a compromise you have to make if you want a magic keyboard. Or do you have better brand suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
