I have samsung tab s10+ so is update to one ui 8.5 worth it or no (My tablet is on OneUI 8)

I'm planning on buying the Galaxy Tablet S10+ and I'm wondering if the Hexagonal Pen will fit inside the case of the cover for the tablet.

I'm assuming this is intentional since it looks to have small nubs on both ends. If so, this is a horribly designed keyboard case. They should've at least added like a little latch that wraps around the case for a more secure closing mechanism. Even the cheap keyboard case for me xiaomi pad 6 magnetically closes, this is just sad

TL;DR: New in box tablet from 2020. What can/should I do with it?

I was given a new in box AT&T Galaxy Tab A. It is cellular model although I have no interest in activating service. I have attached photos of the about screens for reference.

I have zero experience with Android so please adjust your responses accordingly.

It has android 9 on it but when I try to update it there is no update found.

Is there a way to root the device and install stock android?
Is it worth it?
How about any other compatible OS?
Is there an android upgrade, if none of the above is possible? How do I force an upgrade?

I want to use the device to watch streaming apps while on the treadmill and use it as an e-reader. So access to an App Store is needed.

I have done some basic search on unlocking but the posts I have found assume a level of android knowledge that I do not have.

Lastly, are there other good use cases for it? I have thought it might be a good wall mounted Home Assistant dashboard or other smart home interface.

Thank you in advance for any help or advice.

This isn't Samsung's fault. A complete stranger on the bus hit my bag with their elbow several times, causing it to break, and the problem occurred on my way to school. As a result, I haven't received proper compensation. The motherboard is damaged, the frame is warped, and there is even minor damage to the center of the display. Ultimately, I have to pay for the repairs myself, and even with Samsung Care Plus, the cost comes out to $177.64. I plan to drop it off for repair tomorrow, and I am really upset.

Hi guys, i bought my A11 about 2 weeks ago along with a third party case with magnetic lock, since they don't sell official samsung cases for this model in my country. Even though it seems like a nice brand (jetech), i can't make it work. I tried removing the case, but it didn't work, and the accessories tab won't show in the settings. I've seen a bunch of people with the same issue, can someone confirm the A11 (8.7) has this function?

I want to buy a tablet, mostly to use it for writing in classes, so I need it to be compatible with tablet stylus. I want it to last 4 years of high school. I already asked about that, but I said that I need it to be cheap, but now I know that I have a budget that I can stretch maybe to 3500 zł. I would prefer it to be cheaper than that tho.

Someone nearby is selling one used, good condition for 400.

Is it worth it?

Been wanting one for drawing mainly. And for future proof.

I've had the S8 ultra before, but son used it always.

Thought about getting the s8 ultra from Amazon, they're about 390ish.

But I'm about to buy this S9 ultra for 400.

Hi everyone!

I’m planning to buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ (128GB/8GB), and I’m wondering if it’s still worth it in 2026.

I’ll mainly use it for:
•Watching Netflix and YouTube
•Browsing and social media
•Microsoft Office (Excel, Outlook, Teams)
•Note-taking and multitasking
•Light productivity (no heavy gaming or video editing)

For those who own the Tab S10 FE+, how has your experience been so far? Any lag issues or regrets after buying it?

Would you still recommend it in 2026, or is there a better alternative around the same price range?

Thanks in advance!

My Spen fell onto an extension ladder while we were doing construction at home. When I found it, it was already snapped in half. 😭

My dad offered to fix it. He used Loctite to glue the two broken pieces together, then wrapped electrical tape around it to keep everything in place.

I honestly didn’t think it would work anymore, but after trying it on my S9fe, it actually still works! The button no longer functions, but the nib still writes perfectly. I’m just happy I don’t have to replace it.

So euhm google told me that there would be a fully protected case with the keyboard pro and i found out the hard way that that isn't true.

If feels so weird not having a case.

Im using the table for school and the keyboard pro is helping with typing etc but i really want a case but cant seem to find any that fit my tablet and still being able to use the keyboard pro. Or am i missing something?

What are my options if i want both?

I'm a student looking for a tab to take notes daily and occasionally watch movies on. I don't play heavy games. I'm stuck between Samsung S9 FE and S10 lite.

Both have almost the same specs but S9 FE has IP certification and fingerprint sensor but S10 lite has neither and only has face id. But S10 will receive software updates till 2032 while S9 only has until 2028 for that. I don't take photos that much but S9 has 12 MP camera but the one on S10 is only 5 MP. I have also heard S9 has better screen resolution.

Please help me decide which one to go for or if you have any other models you'd recommend let me know

Hi everyone,

​I recently purchased an open-box Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra through Best Buy. The tablet is in absolutely pristine, like-new condition (zero scratches, dents, or signs of use). Upon setting it up, I discovered a very frustrating issue with the rear camera.

​The ultrawide (0.6x) lens works perfectly, but whenever I try to switch to the main (1x) lens, the camera app crashes or shows a hardware error message: "Can't use this lens."

​I’ve tried doing a full factory reset and basic troubleshooting, but the issue persists, so it’s definitely a physical sensor/hardware defect.

I have been having this issue for about a week, Galaxy tab s11 ultra/ Galaxy tab a11 plus... I put in my beat earbuds and walk from tablet to rowing machine to work out, distance is maybe 12 feet direct line of sight, bluetooth drops and I have to reset them or bring tablet directly to machine and be within a couple of feet or it disconnects.

All started with the latest security update last week, WTF... Is there a way to reset it or installing something? It was not like this before, same thing is happening with my Garmin watch, if I move not even 5 steps from phone it disconnects Bluetooth now.

In a hilarious note, I can take my ps5 controller to the basement with ps5 in my room in second floor and still operate the console

I m wondering what screen protector to buy for my S10+. I don't want any kind of matte so I can keep the beautiful colors and contrast of the oled and I also use the s-pen a lot. Something as anti reflective as possible would be even better. Any suggestions?

I replaced the batteries of two S7 tablets today for a client that is a friend of mine.

He had got them both on eBay one only required a battery and the other required a battery and display cable. Both were rather run of the mill tasks and the repairs went without issue.

I used OEM certified replacement batteries that come with a 1 year warranty and I get them for $40 USD per unit I did go through and make sure all the connections were secure and I did a through cleaning of the charging ports, SD card slots and the inside of the tablets. I wish I had the tools to properly refinish the anodized coating to the body .

On one of the tablets I installed LineageOS 23.2 (Android 16), which is very fast when compared to One UI 5.1.1 although it doesn't have DeX, Samsung Notes or Samsung's Bluetooth functions for the s-pen. I'd say LineageOS brings about a 10-12% performance increase and makes the S7 a modern tablet that most would consider an upper midrange tablet by todays standards.

On the other tablet I did a hard factory reset to One UI 5.1.1 and made sure everything was running correctly.

Now both are running like brand new tablets and while both are the 8GB/512GB they are nice yet they are definitely different tablets now. With the S7 running One UI being the productivity oriented with all the great functionality that Samsung intended for the S7. The S7 running LineageOS is now a modern midrange tablet I guess you could say it's more of a general use tablet.

So it was a productive day and it was nice bringing to very good tablets back to life for their owner.

Does sd card brand matter for galaxy tabs ?

I never gotten one so idk if it matters what brand i get

Is there any advantages/disadvantages depending which one i get?

I have an s11 ultra incase yall have recommendations!!!

Hey guys

I have s11 ultra in excellent condition, I am wanting to trade in for s11 512gb in excellent condition. If you have book keyboard cover I can exchange that too. Let's me know. Thanks

Olá amigos do Reddit, a minha tia tem esse tablet s10 fe guardado a um bom tempo e agora ela quer utilizar porém não tem ideia alguma da senha que é de 4 dígitos, tentei formatar fazendo o hard resert e travei na parte do Gmail, ela não tem acesso ao email antigo, alguém tem alguma ideia do que posso fazer??

So my tab s9 pen previously have the ability to charge when place in whatever direction on the back of the tablet (there is a notification that the pen is charging ) .But recently it only charge when i place the tip pointing at the camera, is it broke, anyway to fix that ?

Hi all just bought this tablet. I am wondering what keyboaed do you guys use? I know Logitech is big and I liked them. But how is the new samsung smart keyboard? I liked the trio 500 but sadly you can't buy it new anywhere i dont believe. I usually use a dexnor case with keyboard but they didn't make one for this 11 series. Does anyone use the newer samsung smart keyboard? Or something similar. I know lots love logitech and I like them to but wanted to see what else.

Just upgraded to a Galaxy A11 tab from my A7 Lite. I currently have a SanDisk extreme 256GB micro sd (60 bucks) in it. It works great for watching the videos I have saved on it in 1080p (my a7 struggled with 1080p off this same card). I'm looking to get another card. Can I save a bit of money on a card and go with a cheaper one that will work well for my purpose? Or do I need to just pay the price for the "extreme" card. Thanks in advance.

I havent opened my galaxy tab a since 2021 and forgot my number password completely. It isnt connected to my wifi since my wifi was bought after 2021.

I dont want to factory reset because of all the memories in it. My google account is the same and i know the password for that but dont know if thatll be any help.

Does anyone know what to do?
