With all this talk about optimal charging practices, I've always wondered if it isn't possible to create an app/kernel that can more intelligently decide when to accept a charge and when not to. That way, the battery could be charged to, say, 80% when you plug it in at night and then let the...

I have a similar issue. While websites seem to load normally in the browser, I frequently get connection errors or time outs. For example in the Play Store it has happened several times that, after clicking on an app, the page for that app can't be loaded and al I see is a 'reload' button in the...

MySms and MightyText I use both MySms and MightyText. They both work the same way basically, both allow you to send text messages through your phone, either from a tablet or their respective websites. But there are a couple of differences. I've been using MightyText to send text messages from...

ezPDF So after getting my Note, I gave all your suggestions a try. Like most people I feel like ezPDF is the overall winner. But I'm not entirely happy with it. I'm still hoping that I'm just missing something, so maybe somebody could enlighten me. The two gripes I have with the app are: 1)...

Does it support the S-Pen/palm rejection?

This is my current setup as well for sending texts from my pc, but I use mysms. It's always just been a little more reliable for me. Does anybody know if the new hangouts, which does sms on android now, supports/will support this functionality? I installed the new apk on my phone and received my...

I've never seen that one, must have missed it. It looks very similar to the Poetic Slimline (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FLO8LFQ/) which I ordered, but is still on backorder. Do you think one is better than the other? The poetic one isn't described to have magnets for wake up or magnetic...

That sounds like an exellent idea.

Doesn't that case cover the S-Pen slot in the picture? Granted the pictues might be of a Tab 3, but still. They also call the tablet N8200, which isn't a number I've ever seen in relation to the Note 10.1 '14.

Thanks for the clarification acadoid. I guess it'll be a while until I have my setup figured out. It's kind of a bummer that PDF handling appears to be such a pain. When I found out about LectureNotes that was a big push for me to get the Note 10.1 '14. And of course, I would also totally be...

Wait, are you telling me that exporting from LectureNotes will give me an image PDF? I.e. it's no longer searchable? That would be a major dealbraker for me.

I don't have my Note yet, but what I think I might like would be the ability to use the hardware buttons in landscape and in portrait mode disable them and show on-screen buttons. Is there a way to make the capacitive buttons only react to the pen while it's in use? I'm worried about touching...

I just pre-ordered the Poetic Slimline. It's only $3 (as it has been for a while) so I thougth I should order it now. But I ended up paying $23 for international shipping (to Switzerland)... :eek: Does anybody know of a cheaper way to get this in europe? Amazon UK and yourpoetic.com were the...

Cool. Thanks for the help. I'm definitely looking forward to using LectureNotes. It's the biggest incentive for me to get the Note.

Thanks for letting me know. It's probably no big deal, I haven't figured out my workflow yet anyway. But could you imagine implementing this somewhere down the road? The scenario that I have in mind is the following: Whenever there is a definition in my lecture slides (currently in paper form)...

Actually they're not saying it has LTE. They're calling it LTA :)

That's an awesome feature! I'm waiting for my Note and plan to use LectureNotes in class. While thinking about my workflow with it I thought that this 'indexing highliter' would be a really awesome feature. Does anybody know if LectureNotes has this functionality as well?

May I ask what you do with all of those tablets? Or are you just getting rid of the old (relatively speaking) ones once you buy a new one?

Thanks, but I wasn't really wondering about the official book cover, but rather the poetic slimline case. And I was hoping somebody with a black Note would be willing to offer some color advice, but maybe nobody bought one themselves.

Is no one able to help me on this?

I've never used it myself either. I might check it out once I get my Note. But the fact that it hasn't been mentioned in all the LectureNotes conversations on here tells me that it might not actually be comparable. Does any one know whether OneNote on Android supports the SPen? The price is...

I am currently/was wondering the same thing. I'm an engineering student and I want to use a tablet for note taking and reading/annotating papers. I considered a Surface pro or a lenovo win tablet with a pen. Mostly because of OneNote. While I haven't used it, I'm sure it is the most mature note...

I have a couple of questions: Does the Poetic Slimline Case have wake functionality? They say so on their website, but not on Amazon (although I thought it used to, so I'm a little confused). Maybe someone has owned a Poetic case for a tablet that supports the funcionality and knows if Poetic...

I didn't even know you could install Whatsapp on a tablet. I thought you needed a phone number for that?

Interesting. I have no idea if this works the same in my country. I've never really had to return anything.

LectureNotes has an addon that allows you to record the screen in the app. I've never tried it, but it might be what you're looking for. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.acadoid.lecturevideos

I wouldn't not buy the tablet all together. It's just a matter of paying a little more in order to be able to return it more easily. If I have to do that several times, it might be worth it.

They have some nice pictures. It amazes me how many people apparently have a picture of some scantily clad lady as their background, almost half of the pictures on random mode are of that variety. I never understood why you would want that on your tablet always, for everyone to see, when you...

Thanks for the info, but I'm not in the US, so this doesn't apply to me.

With all these reports I'm worried I'll also have to return mine a couple of times once I buy it. I have a choice of two stores to buy it at. One has a physical store in the city I live, so I could go return it myself, but the tablet is $50 more expensive there than the other store, where I...

On a somewhat related note: Does this tablet have miracast support?

I heard the KNOX security features make the device water proof, just like iOS7 does. :)

Is this fact? I thought it was just a fear/speculation.

That sounds worrisome, especially because other people are reporting similar issues. Unfortunately I would say it's almost impossible that your other devices being plugged into the same strip could have had a detrimental effect on your charge time. A typical wall outlet is capable of delivering...

As it happens, a GNex would be my other device that I'd hook up. So please let me know how yours is doing after charging it. Is that with the stock keyboard? Have you used any third party keyboards?

I believe I read somewhere about the Note 3 that someone (from XDA) figured out how to get any app to show up in the selection for pen windows. It's apparently a fairly simple modification, but one that has to be made to each app that you want to use as a floating app. All in all, I think we'll...

Assuming that you're not buying in Switzerland, don't take these prices and convert them straight to your currency. That will likely not be very accurate. Electronics in Switzerland are generally more expensive than many other countries (altough skandinavian countries might have us beat). WiFi...

See, you need to distinguish between voltage and current. The voltage is provided by the voltage source (hence the name) and is not influenced by what you connect to it. The current, on the other hand, depends on what the device 'takes', i.e. the tablet will draw 2 Ampères from the charger (if...

It's amazing how hard it is to come by reliable information. Anyway, since everybody seems to be telling a different story, I went to look at the device itself. I can't see any mention of NFC on either the display protector, which advertises features like WiFi, GPS and Bluetooth (see video at...

Does that mean we need to worry about charging other devices (e.g. phones) with that charger?

Complaining on here doesn't either.

If it's any indication, I see both the WiFi and the 4G model up for preorder here in Switzerland, and they both have a projected shipping date of 'beginning of nobember,' so you might not be waiting for too much longer.

Just let it go, man. It doesn't matter if it doesn't make sense to you, those are just the terms you agree to when you buy the thing. Everybody is agreeing with you that they'd also want warranty for hardware issues while rooted, but that's just not the current situation. If you need to vent...

I'm almost positive that it doesn't matter what app you use. You just have to unlock the extra space one, and then it'll be usable from any app or the website or whatever. Does anybody have experince with the bonus stuff for users outside of the US? The stores I see it at don't mention any...

Good catch. Looking at phonearena, this is what I see: 243.1 x 176.1 x 7.95 mm (Tab 3) 243.1 x 171.4 x 7.9 mm (Note) So closer, but still not exactly the same. Half a centimeter in height might well be a problem.

Import duty is something else than VAT? Who would charge me for that? TD?

I'm also interested in this. I see a $80 shipping cost to Switzerland, but it's probably still cheaper. I never really understand how the whole thing with VAT works. Can somebody enlighten me? Do I have to expect an extra charge frome a third party, other than what TD is charging me?

All variants of the device have GPS and GLONASS capabilities (see here for example). I can't comment on the performance though, as I am not one of the lucky few who already have it.

Maybe this works better on non-AOSP devices. As far as I know, Samsung also has their own Bluetooth drivers too, for example. Maybe this is a similar situation, I don't really know. I've never owned a non-Nexus device, I'm sure someone else with more experience with Samsung devices can clarify...

Now all you need is for the tablet to have OTG support. For some reason this is always a big question mark. I have a USB OTG cable and have used it often with my Galaxy Nexus, but depending on the ROM I had to install an app (that needs root - by chainfire I believe) for it to work. So I...
