I own this Tab S 8.4 version. The screen display is the best I've seen on any tablet. Ipad included. There's very little if any drag and the response times are comparable with iPads. Thanks for your video - more a user introduction than any slick tips and tricks but value to watch none the less.
Saw the S series in the store and played with it. The colors are over saturated and unnatural and almost cartoonish. I'll stick with the Tab Pro 8.4 and the Note 12.2.
Thank you so much for the wealth of info in these videos. I just purchased a Galaxy Tab S and being a computer Dinosaur, your step by step videos make this old-timer get through the technical stuff. There is only one very important item i cannot get to work. installing an ext. sd card seems to be a problem. I hae searched the internet for easy to understand directions on howto properly install this option. Thanks for your help.
I love that first tip for the camera. I don't have the option under settings for the voice control. I can do this with my phone but can't figure it out for the Tab S
I just bought one and this video helped a lot! The only thing is my keyboard doesn't have the split screen / float screen option. Does it have to be set up somewhere in settings first?
I loved the video. Thank you for making it. I wish it was a full screen, because even with my glasses on, it was a little hard to see were you were at in the Tablet. I will watch it again. Next time, I wish you would talk about deleting data also. Just simple usage on how to learn the Tablet, for a newbie. Thank you, Sharon L. Knapp AZ.
Thanks. New tab S 8.4 owner so learned a few things did not know. Have 4.4.2 now trying to decide if good idea to goto lollipop. ..any chance you have done a video on what changes to expect on tab S 8.4 if upgrade. I thought you created good video.
Hi Saki... First and foremost, I'm a big fan of your page... Thank you for all the info you've provided us on all the latest gadgets... Appreciate it alot.. My question on the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 is; can I make a phone call from a "wifi only" set whilst my Note 4 is side synced onto it? Or do I need to have an LTE set for that to work? Thank you in advance for the reply and keep up the good work bro...
This was a wonderful instructional video. Thank you. I was interested in accessing the floating keyboard, but that option does not seem to appear on my tablet. When I bring up the keyboard, there is a key with a capital T on it right next to the / key. When I hit the T key, it brings up options for a microphone/speaker, the T key (I assume to type), the clipboard and the settings menu. An option for a floating keyboard does not appear. Any idea how I can access this feature?
Good comments: Question: with the samsung Tab 7.7 I could make a foto from the screen. I used this to store as pictures my travel documents from on-line booking. Does somebody now how to use this feature on the Tab S 8.4?
I have a question about the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 camera features, can you transfer the features of the camera from the Samsung Galaxy Tab S to the Samsung Galaxy S5 if the S5 doesn't have all of it's camera features, and modes. For the Samsung Galaxy S5 SPHG900BBB how do you add the missing toggle icons for the settings menu I have a prepaid carrier with Boost Mobile, I have a Snapdragon 801 processor, and I think it's suppose to have 22 toggle icons.
Can someone please tell me how I can get ride of the "my magazine" on the far left screen so I can have the Carrosel style home pages? I can't find a video or tutorial or instructions on this anywhere on the Web.
I asked about the split keyboard option and have figured out the issue. Just in case someone runs into the same issue. You have to make sure the Magnification Gestures setting is turned off. To do this go to Settings>> Device>> Accessibility>> Vision and click the Magnification Gestures button to turn it off.
This is upgradable to android 6.0 just read online. The Samsung tab s 8.4 is still way capable even for 2018,the screen resolution is amazing always was. Just ordered it in titanium bronze refurbished from Amazon for 150. I had the Samsung tab s 10.5 but it was way too big but loved the performance on it and features.
I can not join live feed over google or you tube, it keeps sending me to the hangouts app,which I already have installed. Am I doing something wrong or does the device not support live feed?
Yes, but if you want to use it for gaming is not a good idea, I have one for multimedia support and some documents also rooted and deleted all the bloatware.
You also forgot the mouse controls that is on the tab s 8.4. Like the tool box icon, it stays on all screens for easy access. I thought that was a cool feature. Another feature was the cursor movement by sliding your finger across the keyboard. Another great feature, it makes it much easier to put the cursor where you want it, I always had a problem using my finger in between words to edit words. Most of the time i couldn't place it right where I wanted it. Now I can easily. That would be nice if you added these to the video and shortened up the video. Good job though, I did like the info you gave, just a little lengthy. I like fast informative videos, 20 minutes is too long, 5 minutes captures my attention better.
is there a way to disable the lighted buttons on either side of the home button? I keep accidentally pressing the return button when I use my 10.5" tab s in portrait mode to read
if 8.4 tablet screen is broken and it doesn't display anything it means the digitizer also needs to be replaced. How can I turn off the tablet without an working screen? I also pressed in the same time the power , up volume , and home button...but nothing happens. the lights for back and multiple screen come up in the same time sometimes. What does that mean? Thank you...
I'm having a problem finding volume control for streaming video. The is so low that I cannot hear it. and can't find a volume bar to adjust the sound. Any help.
Hi just got my tab s 8.4, one question how can i turn off the start-up sound? The sound you here when it's a black screen with the tablets name. Many thanks Ken H
hey everyone , i bought this tablet like 4 days ago and i installed cpu temp app on it and have the cpu temp overlay ON and i can see that sometimes depending on what im doing loading vids or huge amount of pics or installing the temp hits 70~ or so and then it drops , i wanted to know if its normal or there is something wrong with my tablet the back of tablet however does not get hot at all , it only gets a little warm nothing to even notice but the app is what's worrying me if anyone can try it on his tablet or has info about how the temp should be share please can help me a lot thanks :)
I noticed in your video that your soft keys do not stay constantly lit how do I turn mine off, having the soft keys constantly turned on drains the battery faster.
+carlos daniel Having owned a Tab 4 for a few days, the lack of light on those buttons was irritating when using in a dark room. I'm now waiting for this model to arrive, and it's in white. I was thinking it would easier to see those buttons on a white unit, but now I've learned those lights can stay on..problem totally solved!
Could you explain why my Tab s 8.4 LTE version only shows 19 days on Ultra power saving mode at 100%? I was thinking it needs to go back, until I saw that many are also claiming they see 19 days. 19 days --> 49 days is crazy, and I would love to know why. Thanks
My Tab S has become a headache. I had to send mine back because of horrible sounding speakers, and now the courier service are messing me about with the replacement :/ Anyway, the estimated battery life on UPS remains a total mystery. You either get 19 days or 49 days, and nothing in between. Samsung can't even explain what's going on. Maybe it has something to do with OS? Perhaps only applies to LTE versions with 4G? I gave up trying to find out why some get 49 days, and still hope someone will explain one day :( For the record, I can get SOT (video play back ,for example) for the promised 12 hours, can you? I decided there was nothing to worry about because of this.
I got mine like a year ago from amazon and have not had any issues with my tab S. IT sucks That yours is not Working Properly . i usually get about half a day from my Tablet, but if Your speakers are messed up Than you might want to return it and get a replacement. best of luck to you .
Samuel Molgado Thanks. yeah, I did send it back, and hopefully will be receiving the new one today. Not so sure the speakers are going to be any different, but playing some of the alarm melodies over 50% volume sounded bad. Were you happy with the sound from yours? Yeah, about half a day sounds about right using wifi and doing lots on interaction stuff, but the Ultra Power Saving is awesome if you just want to use it as a phone, and it will last many days, which is great.
Samuel Molgado Seems I wasted my time sending it back, as this new sounds exactly the same as the other one. I think me ears are too sensitive, or was expecting too much from it. Oh well, guess I'm keeping this one. Oh, I bought a case for it from China, only £4.60! Seems to work ok apart from the stand, but as a Samsung imitation, it's pretty damn good and a 9th of the cost.
Wow thanks for the info Just bought my Samsung Galaxy Tab S . Btw I have a question me and my bestfriend watched videos in my tab then suddenly it freezes like i cannot touch or move anything on the tablet . I asked my friends for some advises then they said that i should wait for my tab's battery to drain then I waited for many hours and still while waiting the screen of my tab is still frozen so I wait until it drained. When it drained I charged my tab . I tried to turn it on but It wont turn on . What should I do ? . Can you please tell me ? Sorry for the wrong grammars if there are any.
Dainnah Jericca Belbider We dont have clockworkmod but we have twrp. To fix the freeze just force a reboot by holding power, home, vol up and down buttons all at the same times and after 15seconds it should reboot. Installing a custom rom fixee freezes.

What does the Snapdragon 801 processor have, and what can it do that the Exynos 5 Octa Core can't.
Finally!! a dark background for the settings page
can i transfer my pictures to my sd card? on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 inch tablet
Can someone please tell me how I can get ride of the "my magazine" on the far left screen so I can have the Carrosel style home pages? I can't find a video or tutorial or instructions on this anywhere on the Web.
If you still can't, try updating to lollipop. They put the option of removing magazine on last update :p
i just had the same problem.. my tab wont turn on are there any tricks to make it turn on or do i need to run to the shop and have it fixed?!
I asked about the split keyboard option and have figured out the issue. Just in case someone runs into the same issue. You have to make sure the Magnification Gestures setting is turned off. To do this go to Settings>> Device>> Accessibility>> Vision and click the Magnification Gestures button to turn it off.

sakitech.. do you have a video on how to keep notifications from showing on lock screen? it's annoying
is it still worth it to buy today?
Yes, but if you want to use it for gaming is not a good idea, I have one for multimedia support and some documents also rooted and deleted all the bloatware.
How do I get the black ui. Thanks

can i do phole calls without bluetooth headset? Just in case someones calling?
Yes, you can make a phone call through Google Hangouts or any other VOIP app through the speaker and microphone.
Judge Judy is so RIGHT. "Basically" is the most over used word in the English language. I counted 88 times!

I'm not sure why it's saying that. My tablet is at 78% and says i have 38 days.
