I received my Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 on February 10th 2018. I've viewed both videos. They help me out a whole lot in setting up my new tablet. Thank U. Anthony 🐢🐢🐢
Nexus D'venn, I find myself using less and less my tablets when I am using the Note 5. I have been using the s6 edge and the iphone 6 and I found myself going for the tablet very often. When I got the note 5 and moved to it. I used the tablet less. It comes down to screen size for me. That being said, I do like the size of the tablet. The 8 and 9. I have enjoyed surfing the web and reading.
Thanks for the great vids. Is there a way to use a pen with this like the s-pen? I like the tablet but have to have a pen. Why didn't Samsung just put one with it? Do you think they will have one again anytime soon on a tablet?
Nicely done introduction video! I've got the 8.0" S2 now, but found one glaring issue in the Samsung OS. For apps that require the menu button, you now have to press and hold the 'back arrow' to access it....However, upon pressing the back arrow, it actually goes back first! Sometimes it will go back two screens before 'giving' the menu command to the app! In some apps, if there's no screens to go back to, it will actually close the app! So in effect, the menu button is completely unaccessible in most apps. Do you have any work-arounds?
Wow. I didn't know that so many of the options I normally have to root and install third party software for is available on it right now. I had heard that the latest Touchwiz is pretty nice and its seems to be true. Great video, thank you.
hey dude, great review! could u give a advice? I am confuse between tab A s pen or Table s2. Basically I need to pick one to studying, read books, pdf edition, office works: specially power point. My iPad mini 2 is not so good to work on it. let me know about yr experience. thanks
You can hold u power saving on that bar you bring down and it will take u to the menu that u can enable grey scale. you don't need to do a long process
Hi i need some help , in your video i see you got an icon call "Video" , and i don't see it anywhere on mine , and because of that it hard to navigate through my video , so can you tell me how to make it appear like yours ,and can you also tell me how can i add/remove icon i want to appear on it ? Thanks .
Great video! I noticed how you had an S Pen laying around alongside the Tab S2. Can you tell me how compatible it is with the Tab S2? I'd like to know if it can tap, drag, and highlight text in the same way that it can on the Note platforms. Looking forward to your reply!
Awesome, I learned a lot from you. You didn't open or mention anything about S planner. My S planner is not working properly at the moment. I lost my previous and present files. All months comes out empty. I can use it again but the colour option for different activities, meetings or schedules also gone. Can anyone help me. Thanks, much appreciated.
another question is it safe to synch all my apps on my Samsung devices for actual applications that I use? I worry about theft and someone stealing one of my devices. I realize that you covered this subject in your video but I don't know how secure the Samsung factory tablets are. Also of Norton is a worthwhile application and how good is the smart manager app as compared to Norton or macafee. I actually have macafee free with my cell phone provider but I don't think it's a good product based on experience during my past home pc days
I just subscribed so forgive me if my question had been asked numerous times in the past. Q. My dictionary on my s5 and I'm guessing my different Samsung tablets have an update feature to include slang and already arrives with different acronyms that I actually do not use and find swyping extremely time consuming. id rather have a vocab list from my original s5 for example to add or remove vocab words from. is it possible to remove updates without sacrificing security? Q2. I hate pre-installed unremovable bloatware, and I know I can turn off updates. is there a security reason I should continue to update bloatware? I don't know which apps to update. I also realize I can debug and dbm apps, is there any risk doing that with my home pc or Microsoft scan pro 4 or whatever that tab computer is called? Sorry about all the questions. should I join a blog somewhere instead?
hello. just want to ask how to activate the touch buttons of this samsung GTS2,.? its not visible now.. u know the back button and min/max button.. thanks☺
Not a check mark for Flipboard. Turn it on or off and then you have to cycle power for it to work after you have turned it off. Also, I created a new page but I can't move it pinched or unfinished. Running Android 6.0.1. I'm open to your suggestions.
I have misspelled words in the Dictionary. I found a "Personal Dictionary" in my Android cellphone and can delete misspelled words. But I have not yet been able to find this feature in this Samsung Galaxy S2 9.7. Can you post the steps to locate and *how to delete the misspelled words?* Greatly appreciated.
About the auto restart feature: did you notice that in the menu it says conditions only under which the tablet will restart at the selected time? One of them says that there has to be no SIM lock, so if you have an LTE version with a SIM card insterted make sure to either disable the PIN code or do not use the auto restart feature because it simply won't work 😀
Clearing the RAM at the end of the day is good but while in use leave RAM alone Android works better with more RAM used than not used. If you clear it while it's active (using it) all that will do is make it eat up more battery as it will launch the apps that typically run in the background and any app you had open before will have to relaunch and that will just kill the battery.
iI just purchased my S2 8 inch. I tried to get rid of briefing page,but there is no option to uncheck, only to turn briefing page on or off.Any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong? Thanks
Hi, can you explain or help me..I just Got a Samsung galaxy s2 8 and downloaded the Facebook App, but the pictures are in horrible quality comparing to ipad mini or iphone 5 and 6 Facebook app.. But it only happens with the app, if I go to facebook trough the internet, google Chrome or firefox etc the look fine...
I've not been able to find any videos with a real answer to this question. Mainly because it's not logical I suppose to compare the two. But what benefits besides screen size do you find in using a galaxy tab S2 versus your galaxy note 5?
great tablet having it in my hands right now 😂 but the grey colour is not needed bcs of that the battery is large enough for a nearly full 12 hours (in real life 😄)
Where is my phone app to make and receive phone calls.. Or even I don't have text estate option.. I have the at&t's 9.7 galaxy s2.. Not having these options sucks and it would be nice to to kick my cell phone out the door if I had these on my tab..
Usb charging port Stopped working. All it does now is charge. Can't transfer data from otg. It's just not recognizing the tab . Laptop can't find it. My portable sd card reader has stopped working. It was all working fine 2 days ago. What could have caused the charging/ usb port to stop working. Still charges but No data transfer recognizing
My samsung galaxy tab 2 is different in settings than ur's why ? i don't want locks at all, im locked out of my galaxy tab A & can't get in to it, bcoz i can't remember the swipe pattern 😨😭🤤 & to stop a video on samsung galaxy tab 2 iv got to keep tapping coz sometimes it doesn't work...why ?
+Tablets for Me thanks for responding but I wanted if you are playing videos from your SD card how do you get them to auto play the next video without having to do it yourself?
+Brooklyn Bred have you figured this out? I tried a couple of different Apps besides the stock Video player and still could not get to "autoplay" videos.
+Marvin Jones bo I haven't either. don't understand why the better tablet can't and older one can. the apps aren't very good. perhaps we need to contact samsung and inquire why.
This video is inaccurate. so far I have not been able to remove Flip board and I can add a page but I can't move it. Must be older software that he is demonstrating on!
+Larry Powell my tab is now on the latest version of Android from Samsung version 6.this feature is available on all Samsung devices. Ranging from the s6 thru note 7. And on every tablet since the release of the breifing application

Is there a way to save websites for future offline reading?
+Gino Guillermo Pocket app.
John Farley ?
usually the Samsung default browser has that option. if not then you can download Firefox.

I want to use this tablet for note taking. dose it work with active stylus? if so, witch ones?
non active stylus is the way to go. But the best note taking tablet is the Microsoft Surface.
