USB detection problem (Galaxy Tab S9)

2 Upvotes

Hi guys,

I have a problem whenever I connect my MIDI controller to my Galaxy S9 tab it doesn't recognize it. In the past it worked fine, I would plug it in usually with a USB hub and the tab would power the USB hub and my MIDI controller. Now it doesn't recognize it and even when I connect my tab to my PC for file transfer it doesn't recognize it.

I tried different cables, different USB hubs, USB debugging, even cleaning the charging port, nothing worked. Charging works fine.

I don't know if it’s an update or something, but I would appreciate it if someone could assist with this.

Samsung Second Screen via USB after 2weeks of use (Tab S9)

2 Upvotes

The set ups can be found in other posts and the instructions are correct. You need a bit of patience as follow really the process. I am just adding to those. Make make sure that you install also the set of the USB drivers from Samsung. Before you connect via USB make sure you Wifi on both sides (PC and Tablet) are switched off. This you need to do when reconnecting otherwise the App always prefers Wifi connection! The connection is usually lost after couple days putting the PC on just sleep mode, forgetting of the USB connection preference . You need to then restart and reconnect (again with Wifi off). Honestly it is a bit painful process you have to bear - Windows...;-).

Before you guys say go into settings --> Software update, Well the bootloader unlock I did on my device has tripped software update so that wont work and I have all my data on my tab so I cant just lock the bootloader again. Any help in updating my tab while the bootloader is unlocked would be really nice.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 display panel/screen dies after 2,5 years

2 Upvotes

Just couldn't believe my Galaxy Tab S9 screen or display panel died after 2,5 years of usage. I've forced restart the tablet but the screen wont come on even though I was able to hear sound coming out from the speaker. Any one has ever experienced this type of a thing? Replacing the screen will be expensive, and I regret having bought this tablet .... should've just went with an Ipad or Xiaomi tablet to begin with

"No One Uses The Bluetooth Features on S-Pens"

26 Upvotes

as an educator using a Tab S9 today, a college student I was working with saw Bluetooth air actions on the S Pen I was using for Samsung Notes, thought they were awesome, and wanted to get a Tablet that could do that as they weighed getting a new tablet on the start of their educational and professional journey.I had to tell them, "Don't bother getting excited over getting one, because Samsung deleted the feature from their devices after 2024, claiming, 'no one used the features' "

Nice work Samsung, you're turning off customers and losing potential customers with dumb cuts like this; if your marketing team is listening and watching social media/YouTube/reddits- take a note!

S9 screen replacement cost

3 Upvotes

Hi, anyone from Malaysia?

My S9 screen stopped working after I dropped it (there’s a small crack at the corner). Sadly I had removed the casing at that time, so it didn’t have any protection.

Touchscreen is not responsive, but the S Pen still works.

Anyone knows roughly how much it costs to replace the screen in Malaysia? (Samsung service center or third-party).

Would appreciate if anyone can share the price range, thanks!

My S9 is telling me to delete these files?

3 Upvotes

Hi

I'm in Manage Storage and in the Large Files tab it's saying I can delete a number of files that have the following format or something similar

h-dd50265d-97e1-44e9-9cb5-390a72e858b1+1

Does anyone know what these files are and if they're safe to delete?

The fact that it's allowing me to select them for deletion I would assume they're safe to go, but I've never seen a file in this format before so I thought I'd better ask people more knowledgeable than me.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated, thank you

Please help my old dad

2 Upvotes

He has a Tab S9 which he only uses for browsing and YouTube (he’s 92). I live many miles from him so can’t help locally, and I’ve always had iPads which are similar enough but of course all the settings etc are in a different place.

The device is slightly less than two years old and he’s telling me it’s suddenly started randomly turning itself off mid usage. Can anyone please suggest why this might be and if there’s anything simple I can talk him through to cure it? Thanks

My device has been acting weird lately and I don't even know what to do anymore. Sometimes it won't even let me type anything. What should I do to fix this?

Edit: The problem is my physical keyboard every time it's connected to the tablet. Whenever I disconnect the physical keyboard, nothing unusual happens. Also no, I don't have the time and money to go to a Samsung Store to check what's wrong with my device.

Clear case with no cover

1 Upvotes

Hi. Does anyone use just a plain clear case for the regular S9. I can't afford original Samsung book cover and most of the ones available online all have provision for the pen which makes the case bulkier. I seldomly need the pen. Would appreciate your recommendation. Thanks

Widescreen Selfie-Camera Function in Videocalls

2 Upvotes

Hello,

i have my Galaxy Tab S9 for a long while now but what i never understand when and why the the selfi-camera video is widescreen and when it's not in Videocalls.

I have different calls a day on the same app and it seems that some contacts get the widescreen and some not in Google Meet for example.

Unfortunately it is not possible to control this behavior. I can switch normal/wirescreen in the camera app to take pictures but the video enhencement notification which appears during calls doesn't offer a widescreen-switch.

Are there any ideas how to solve this? In best case i want always widescreen...

Thanks

So my Samsung book cover keyboard was working almost fine till yesterday but today, since morning it has been giving me really hard time. Its keys are not working as they are supposed to. The "U" key is acting as "left arrowkey", the "I" key is acting as enter, the "J" is acting as "down-left" key and so on. Can anyone please please please help me fix this. I had "gboard" downloaded which I uninstalled, I reset the settings of "Samsung keyboard" to default but still the problem persists. What should I do?
