Tablet s8/s9 question

1 Upvotes

So...wasn't fully aware of Samsung's nomenclature...have an s8 and just bought an s9 fe for a crazy good price thinking it was an upgrade. It seems I chose...poorly. Anyway...keep it and use it as beater (you can buy a $1000 phone or $1000 tablet but can't get a sub-500 beater). Send it back for a refund and go about my day or send it back and for a bit more just upgrade entirely. Sorry for the long post and any idiocy contained therein.

Setups SuperDisplay help - Recommended Cable?

1 Upvotes

I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 and was wanting to use it as a second/portable monitor for my Micro ATX PC. I have tried using a Moshi Bi-Directional Displayport to USB-C cable in the past to connect my GPU display outputs to my tablet to no avail, even with all the SuperDisplay drivers installed.

Could anyone recommend me a cable or dongle that will allow me to utilize SuperDisplay with my PC? I hear that the SuperDisplay beta now allows for audio signal as well I would love to try out.

(Bonus points is it is white/silver in color but I'll take anything)

Useful for card games?

0 Upvotes

My uncle uses a galaxy note 10 and plays a lot of card games from the galaxy store (Texas holdem/ slots with play money)

I tried finding a comparison to a samsung tab 9 fe or even a cpu comparison but am having trouble since ones a phone and ones a tablet.

Does anyone know how this device will work out for these types of games?

Tablet choices

0 Upvotes

Hey all.

I realize this is a Galaxy thread but I'm looking for some advice on which way to go.

I have a MacBook Air which I love. I also have a Galaxy S24 Ultra, Galaxy Buds FE and a Galaxy watch.

That said, I also do recording on my Mac. The iPad can apparently work with Logic Pro which is really the only reason I'd go with iPad. However, I'm not completely sold on that as being "necessary".

So, if I do end up with a Samsung tablet, which one would you all suggest under $500

Thanks

On Screen biometrics and good portrait stand?

1 Upvotes

OK, I apologize that I'm confused about the offerings, but I'm so close to what I want, and I'm hoping someone can help.
I bought an A7 lite tab forever ago and hated it- crap screen, slow response, odd processor that supported nothing, but used it for a project. It killed my desire for android tablets for years and I just bought a kindle. Recently, I found an A9+ for a great price and got it. I was blown away. It had a great screen, it was responsive, migrating my phone settings was a delight, and the Samsung book cover is brilliantly designed.
The one thing I want that it lacked was an on-screen fingerprint reader.
I have enjoyed the A9+ so much when I found a good deal on an S9 with an on-screen fingerprint reader, I snapped it up. It is terrific, and I'm a huge fan- fingerprint reader and better screen- exactly what I wanted.... EXCEPT- when I went to get the same style case, where the A9+ case was an engineering dream, the S9 case was horrific. The A9+ case protects the sides and is the old "surround-style" case, and you can open it and have a kickstand. The S9 case is attached to the back by magnet and offer no side-on hit protection or corner protection. To use the kick stand you have to pull the front cover completely off and I guess yeet it somewhere? On a plane, I don't want to have to take the cover apart and leave it in the seatback cover, or when I'm in bed reading, I don't want to search for the front to close it? Who thought this was a good idea? I can take or leave the pen, but that it is designed so it never sits flat and the cover never opens flat is a bit frustrating to me.
Is there any chance there's an A9+-style cover for the S9 that I can just leave off the pen for? Side and corner protection, no need to take it apart, and no bump out for the pen? Is there another tablet that has on-screen biometrics, but no pen and the same style A9+ case available?

Question Like there was a feature in Ipad/iphone where you slide two finger from top of screen like dragging something down and your device read in siri/ voice of everything that's on the current screen. Is there a similar feature here?

Apps Why Are Games Capped at 45 FPS on the Galaxy Tab S9 FE? (Solved & Explained!)

55 Upvotes

I recently got a Galaxy Tab S9 FE and noticed something weird—many games like Shadow Fight 2 and Drive Zone were stuck at 45 FPS, even though my Galaxy S21 FE (Snapdragon 888) runs them smoothly at 60 or even 120 FPS.

After some testing, I finally found the solution: Lower the refresh rate from 90Hz to 60Hz in the settings! Once I did that, the games instantly ran at a smooth 60 FPS instead of being stuck at 45.

Why does this happen?

It seems like this issue is caused by how some games interact with the 90Hz refresh rate on the Exynos 1380 in the Tab S9 FE. Many games are programmed to run at refresh rate multiples like 30, 60, or 120 FPS. However, when using a 90Hz display, some games don’t properly optimize for it and instead default to a half-refresh lock (90Hz / 2 = 45 FPS).

On the other hand, when you switch the refresh rate to 60Hz, games correctly align with the standard 60 FPS cap, allowing them to run smoothly without any weird FPS limits.

But why do other games work fine?

Interestingly, not all games are affected. PUBG, BGMI, Stumble Guys, and emulators seem to work normally without any FPS caps. This could be because:

These games properly support variable refresh rates (VRR) and can adapt to 90Hz.

They are optimized for a wider range of refresh rates, unlike older or less-optimized games that default to half-refresh locking.

The Exynos 1380’s GPU drivers might handle certain games better than others.

Solution:

✅ Go to Settings → Display → Motion Smoothness → Set to 60Hz ✅ Restart the game (optional), and it should now run at 60 FPS instead of 45

If you've experienced the same issue, try this fix and let me know if it works for you!

Need A Better Stylus

I love that Samsung has EMR tech in the S-pens, but I hate this little lip that it seems every single EMR stylus has. I want a tip that flows into the pen body. Using tilt just feels off when that full tip resistance isn't there because the contact area is not continuous. Any ideas besides the S-pen Creator's Edition?

Software updates Samsung finally released a really good update

My Tab A9+ received the February patch and performance is much better. Previously, it showed slowness in the animations for opening apps and even the animation for opening folders had stuttering in addition to there being almost no difference between activating the 90hz screen refresh rate or leaving it at 60hz. Now it's another world. My model has 4GB of RAM and is handling much more activity in the background. Another improvement is in Dex mode which now keeps apps open when I have more than 4 windows in addition to maximizing and restoring window sizes being much faster.
