I notice that there are no spare nibs in the box. My previous umpteen Note smartphones have all come with some spare nibs and a removal tool but none came with the Tab S7. The irony is that I intend to use the pen much more with my tablet than I ever did/do with the phones... How long should...

My SPen is a very tight fit too. When I push the button it pops out a bit as normal but then I have to get my nails around the end to pull it out because it is VERY tight for approx 1.5 cm. Similarly when pushing it back into the phone the last 1.5 cm is a very tight fit. It has not loosened...

I've stopped using the fingerprint scanner altogether and now use facial recognitiong (quick) which works flawlessly.

Yes it's rubbish. Worst fingerpront scanner on any phone I've owned. The poor scanner, dropped calls and scrolling issues stop this phone from being 10/10. All very big problems too. I would have kept my Note 8 and not bought this phone had I known.

Hi folks. Love the phone but when I'm scrolling down a weboage or Tumblr my phone will suddenly scroll a long way, or scroll back up the page when I was going down previously. Done it since new. I am running the same apps as on my Note 8 and that phone didn't exhibit this scrolling issue. Any...

The action of the SPen on my old Note 8 is like a Rolls Royce. You click it, then the pen pops out 1/4 of an inch. Pull it and it comes out with zero friction. Press it back in all the way to the point of clicking and it never comes out accidentally. A joy to use. My Note 10 Plus has a really...

Ringtones and notification tones are super-loud on my N10+ but when watching the YouTube app or video clips in my browser the sound is way lower than my old Note 8. Is this normal?

So how come my tablet has the exact-same apps installed and used to lose 1% overnight in Airplane Mode on Oreo? I 'updated' to Pie and now it too loses 4 or 5% overnight. I don't understand what's going on under the hood when all the radios are turned off.

The fingerprint registration process seems very glitchy too but after having experienced an awful 40% success rate with waking the phone using my fingerprint I deleted all the stored prints and started again. The secret is in storing decent prints so keep doing this until the phone unlocks with...

Having half of 12GB available is still way better than having half of 3GB available...

I went from a Sony Xperia XZ with fabulous reception to my Note 8 which was really poor. After 2 years with the Note 8 my new Note 12 Plus 5G has noticeably better receptlon. Whether it's the best out there is debatable but it's certainly an upgrade on the Note 8 when it comes to reception.

My brand new Note 10 Plus 5G loses 6% overnight in Airplane Mode. That's unacceptable from a flagship device in 2020. I have other tablets and phones that lose 1 or 2% overnight in Airplane Mode. Heck my old iPhones used to register 0% loss. Either this phone or Android 9 has a nasty standby...

Pressing and holding volume up along with the power key now only gives factory reset option and no wipe cache partition option. Can anyone else confirm?

You mean a downgrade to Pie. It's rubbish on the M5.

Ever since the Pie update I hate the open apps cards. They don't switch orientation when you change from landscape to portrait when they used to do in Nougat.
