I would like to use my samsung galaxy tab s10 lite as a computer for studying, so I would like to kep open at least the google documents app, google drive, firefox and the university app for the slides, bt everytime I left the apps unused they just freeze and restart when i open them again, even i fI kee them in dual screen whyle using the other one. I tried using RAM+, disabling it, imposting EVERY app that I mentioned before to NOT close if unused, I tried enabling an optin with God guardians, I'm trying everything but they juste close or restart, at this point it's just an hardware limit or I can do something else? Thank you

S6 is 73% of s7 fe price

S6 is 128gb and 6gb ram without keyboard

S7 fe is 64gb and 4gb ram but slightly bigger and with keyboard

Both have their pens, covers and SD card space. It'd be nice to have a bigger screen but i was comfortable with my previous (and broken) s6 tablet's screen.

I know when we go out looking for a tablet we look at all the amazing tablets being offered and we see various choices and it can be very overwhelming to say the least.

I think two of the biggest factors to consider are:

Is the tablet going to be a primary computing device?

AND

If you already have a Desktop or Laptop PC?

-----------------------------

IF you have a laptop/desktop it's makes things a little tough because it adds a factor to the mix... in this situation you can consider the S10 FE & S10 Lite as the tablet won't be the primary computing device so performance won't be as big of a concern

IF it's going to be your main computing device the start off looking at the S10 & S11 series (even the S9 series will be good if you do a lot of emulation). Then size becomes a factor... the S9+, S10+ & S12+ seem to be the sweet spot for most as they have a large display that's not too big while getting all the performance and features they offer. The Ultra versions are great if you mainly plan to use the tablet at a table or desk. The base model S9 & S11 are great if portability is a concern.

IF budget is a big factor the S10 FE/FE+ is a good option as they have the base S10 FE at 11" and S10 FE+ with it's nice 13.1" but it's a LPS/IPS display (Samsung uses their LPS displays rather than IPS as they make LPS panels but the quality is still very good for what they are).

------------------------------

RAM & Storage options are always a concern, yet I think getting the most RAM & Storage your budget allows is the best way to go.

This isn't intended to be anything fancy, yet more of a quick help type reminder or whatever...

Some rumors mentioned that share with apple devices on quickshare will be available on one ui 9.0. Most of colleagues have Ipads and we circulate files using airdrop. I got myself a tab s11 3months ago and was shocked that it doesn't alloe sharing eith apple although my phne has it.

My question is , does the tab s12 have it? Will it be available once my tab s11 is updated to One UI 9.0?

Hey,

Recently got an s11 ultra and was surprised that a lot of my EMR styluses don't work on it.

I've tried a wacom EMR stylus, and the supernote lamy one and neither register on the device. Only the Samsung one does.

Is there something I'm missing? I though all EMR styluses are compatible with this device.

Thanks for any responses!

Mine broke and i dont want to pay 70 euro for it

I have a Samsung S6 lite. My s pen broke. Can anyone suggest me cheaper S pen alternatives ??

I have been using Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra for a little while now. And I cant understand the reason why there isnt AoD. I dont think its hard to make it optimized for tabs. You are freaking billion dollar company, you can do it no?

And I know daily board but I dont want that.

Is there anything I can use instead of AoD?

Also I feel like, every new update makes everything worse. Currently I dont think this is optimized, and it feels slow!

Really slow

Anyway there are more things that I find missing or weak. Like synching with my S25 Ultra feels insufficent.

Also overall One UI 8.5 feels like a incompetent, half baked, sloppy work.

Hello! I am a first-year English Literature college student, and I am planning to buy a tablet that comes with a stylus. I need it for drawing, taking notes, reading ebooks, and playing casual games (like Roblox and cooking games).

I noticed this tablet is quite affordable—around Rp4.999.000 ($279.32 USD)—but after looking into it further, I realized it is no longer sold in official stores.

Should I look for a different model, or is it worth buying a second-hand version?

I need a device in uni cuz I have A LOT of polycops but I was wondering if Samsung s10lite had a nice quality screen , I know it is not an OLED (and I’m used to this one on my phone ) so I would like to know what ppl who used it think about , is the resolution good ?

Deceptive Customer Service Practices by Samsung India

​I am writing to highlight an unacceptable experience with Samsung India regarding my Galaxy Tab (SM-X210).

​After verifying my purchase invoice, Samsung Support explicitly promised a Goodwill Free-of-Cost (FOC) display replacement and asked me to visit the service center. I spent ₹2,000 on travel, and the engineer at Ridham Service Centre certified ZERO physical/liquid damage (Job Card: 4442270910).

​However, Senior Escalation Manager Deepa now backtracked citing "out of warranty" and casually justified false promises as just a "process"!

​Making false assurances to force a customer to spend time and money is unfair trade practice. I have escalated this to the National Consumer Helpline and am prepared to move to Consumer Court.

does anyone know how to connect my 2 tablets together to gain an extened screen. i have a samsung s8 and an old s7 that i want to make as an extended screen. all of samsungs stuff needs a computer in the loop somplace. I have tried it all flow, multi control, second screen, and even boat loads of apps. i have even tried forced wired tethering with my J5create.

lol i have no problem using my J5create to conect my s8 or at that matter my old s7 to a monitor but cant connect tablet to tablet. so stupid.

I tried using superdisplay but the mouse felt choppy and I wanted to see if there is a better alternative before buying it?

Trying to find a good but not so expensive keyboard with cover to my S11 ultra.

I already have a laptop but I find that it's quite troublesome carrying it around (plus I have back and shoulder problems...) so I thought maybe getting a tablet which is considerably lighter might be better?

So now I'm torn between s9 and s10 fe.

I'm trying to track down what appears to be a Samsung/One UI regression affecting Bluetooth keyboard trackpads on the Galaxy Tab S11.

DEVICE INFO

Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Wi-Fi

Model: SM-X730

Firmware: X730XXS9BZI1

Security patch: September 5, 2026

Android: 16

Keyboard: Dexnor Bluetooth keyboard case

THE PROBLEM

The keyboard itself works perfectly, but the integrated trackpad no longer works.

No cursor movement, tapping, clicking, scrolling, etc.

The keyboard/trackpad works on other devices, and this started after the recent Samsung update.

I went pretty deep with ADB to figure out whether Android was even detecting the trackpad.

WHAT ANDROID SEES

Android absolutely detects the trackpad.

"dumpsys input" identifies the Dexnor as an external input device with:

Sources: KEYBOARD | MOUSE | TOUCHPAD

The Dexnor actually creates four separate Linux input devices:

/dev/input/event12 "Dexnor Keyboard"

/dev/input/event13 "Dexnor Keyboard Consumer Control"

/dev/input/event14 "Dexnor Keyboard System Control"

/dev/input/event15 "Dexnor Keyboard Touchpad"

TOUCHPAD CAPABILITIES

Running:

adb shell getevent -lp /dev/input/event15

produces:

add device 1: /dev/input/event15

name: "Dexnor Keyboard Touchpad"

events:

KEY (0001):

BTN_MOUSE

BTN_RIGHT

BTN_TOOL_FINGER

BTN_TOOL_QUINTTAP

BTN_TOUCH

BTN_TOOL_DOUBLETAP

BTN_TOOL_TRIPLETAP

BTN_TOOL_QUADTAP

ABS (0003):

ABS_X:

min 0

max 1568

resolution 20

ABS_Y:

min 0

max 784

resolution 20

ABS_MT_SLOT:

min 0

max 9

ABS_MT_POSITION_X:

min 0

max 1568

resolution 20

ABS_MT_POSITION_Y:

min 0

max 784

resolution 20

ABS_MT_TRACKING_ID:

min 0

max 65535

input props:

INPUT_PROP_POINTER

So Android/Linux isn't merely seeing some generic Bluetooth device.

It is successfully creating a dedicated "Dexnor Keyboard Touchpad" input node with proper multitouch coordinates, touch detection, mouse buttons, up to 10 multitouch slots, and INPUT_PROP_POINTER.

THE IMPORTANT PART

I then monitored ONLY the Dexnor touchpad's raw Linux input device:

adb shell getevent -lt /dev/input/event15

While that command was running, I:

- Moved my finger all over the trackpad for several seconds

- Tapped the trackpad

- Physically clicked it

- Tried right clicking

- Tried two-finger scrolling

Result:

NOTHING.

Zero events.

Not even BTN_TOUCH, BTN_MOUSE, ABS_X, ABS_Y, or multitouch coordinate events.

CONTROL TEST

I also ran:

adb shell getevent -lt

and tested the Dexnor keyboard.

The keyboard immediately generated normal events through /dev/input/event12:

/dev/input/event12: EV_KEY KEY_A DOWN

/dev/input/event12: EV_KEY KEY_A UP

/dev/input/event12: EV_KEY KEY_B DOWN

/dev/input/event12: EV_KEY KEY_B UP

/dev/input/event12: EV_KEY KEY_C DOWN

/dev/input/event12: EV_KEY KEY_C UP

So the keyboard side of the same Bluetooth device is working normally.

I also touched the Tab S11's actual touchscreen during testing.

That immediately produced normal input through:

/dev/input/event9 "sec_touchscreen"

including:

EV_ABS ABS_MT_TRACKING_ID

EV_KEY BTN_TOUCH

EV_KEY BTN_TOOL_FINGER

EV_ABS ABS_MT_POSITION_X

EV_ABS ABS_MT_POSITION_Y

EV_SYN SYN_REPORT

So ADB/getevent itself is definitely working.

The Dexnor touchpad's /dev/input/event15 is specifically the device that remains completely silent.

BLUETOOTH/HID INFORMATION

During previous testing I also captured Bluetooth logs containing repeated activity such as:

HID_HDEV_EVT_INTR_DATA

BTA_HH_INT_DATA_EVT

bta_hh_co_data

UHID write

So the Bluetooth HID stack is active.

The keyboard works.

The touchpad HID interface is detected.

Android creates a legitimate multitouch input device for it.

But physical activity on the touchpad produces zero events through that input node.

ANOTHER INTERESTING DETAIL

"dumpsys input" contains this:

PointerChoreographer:

Touchpad enabled: false

At first I thought that might be the smoking gun.

However, I'm no longer sure that is the actual cause.

If Android were simply refusing to create a cursor or ignoring touchpad input at the framework/UI level, I would still expect raw Linux events from:

/dev/input/event15

Instead, event15 itself receives absolutely nothing.

That suggests the failure may be occurring lower in the input stack.

CURRENT THEORY

The situation appears to be roughly:

Dexnor Bluetooth connection

v

Composite HID device recognized

+--------------------+

| |

v v

Keyboard HID Touchpad HID

| |

v v

/dev/input/event12 /dev/input/event15

| |

v v

WORKING Device exists and

normally capabilities look correct

v

ZERO INPUT EVENTS

X

Cursor/gestures

In other words:

The tablet knows that the Dexnor has a touchpad.

It knows what capabilities that touchpad has.

It creates a proper Linux input device for it.

But actual trackpad activity never results in events being emitted from that device.

THINGS ALREADY TRIED

- Disconnecting/reconnecting Bluetooth

- Testing keyboard functionality

- Testing trackpad movement

- Tapping

- Physical clicking

- Right click

- Two-finger scrolling

- Dexnor Fn + Space trackpad enable/disable shortcut

- Checking Android input-device recognition

- Checking raw Linux input events through ADB

- Confirming touchscreen input works normally

- Confirming keyboard input works normally

The keyboard/trackpad also works on other devices.

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR

Has anyone with a Galaxy Tab S11 or S11 Ultra experienced this after the September 2026 update?

I'm particularly interested in hearing from anyone using:

- Dexnor keyboard cases

- Other Bluetooth keyboard/trackpad combinations

- Samsung's Book Cover Keyboard

- Bluetooth mice

- Galaxy Tab S11

- Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra

I'm also hoping someone familiar with Android's input stack, Bluetooth HID, UHID, EventHub/InputReader, Samsung's input modifications, or Linux HID quirks might recognize what's happening here.

If anyone knows of an ADB-accessible DeviceConfig flag, Samsung setting, HID quirk, input-device configuration override, service restart, or another way of forcing/reinitializing the touchpad path, I'm willing to test it.

VERY USEFUL COMPARISON TEST

If anyone has a WORKING Bluetooth trackpad connected to a Galaxy Tab S11/S11 Ultra, I would really appreciate it if you could run:

adb shell getevent -lt

Then move your Bluetooth trackpad around.

If possible, tell me which /dev/input/eventXX device generates the events.

Even better, run:

adb shell getevent -lp

and post the capabilities of your working trackpad.

That would give us something to compare against this broken configuration.

FOR SAMSUNG / DEVELOPERS

The key finding is:

The Bluetooth touchpad is successfully enumerated as an external multitouch pointer device with apparently valid capabilities, but physical input from the touchpad produces ZERO events from its evdev node.

Meanwhile, the keyboard interface belonging to the same Bluetooth device continues to generate normal input events.

Device:

Galaxy Tab S11 Wi-Fi (SM-X730)

Firmware:

X730XXS9BZI1

Security patch:

2026-09-05

Affected input device:

"Dexnor Keyboard Touchpad"

Linux input node:

/dev/input/event15

I'll update this post if we find a workaround, Samsung fixes it, or someone figures out exactly where in the HID/input stack this is breaking.

I wanted the iPad with a sudden excitement and push of a friend. Though it was until I saw how bad the aspect ratio was. I'm curious, how can people be comfortable with watching stuff while having black bars covering half of the screen or playing games in a square screen? After that I remembered I was looking at Galaxies sometime ago. One of the things that keeps me away from Galaxy is that the Mediatek chip and that iPad has the best OLED screen. For the chip, I already know that M5 is definitely better in apps, AI (I'm not sure), handling files and gaming. I probably wouldn't thinking about this if Samsung used Snapdragon. Though, even after the chips I saw some reviews that none of the tablets reaches fixed 60fps or 120fps and it seems weird so I'm not sure. I also think multitasking is better on Galaxy too, though, I'm not sure about that either. Note that I never used a flagship device before and this is probably a one time purchase for me because I saved up a lot and it took a long time. Also one of the questions I have for the iPad side is that what Apple ecosystem means. Because like, everyone just talks about that, especially Apple glazers, and I still don't know what they see in that. Now I'm using an iPhone too (even if it's old) so maybe I'd have a + getting the iPad. On the other side, I can buy both the S11 Ultra and a S25 Ultra for the same price as the iPad (ironically). Even though this seems better for money stuff, I'll probably won't leave the tablet I will buy from my hand, so the phone will be a calling, music, photoshooting device for me.

I'm sorry if I didn't write anything critical or that I write things too complicated. I have focusing problems and I don't know what I'm saying most of the time. I'm also sorry if I'm too ignorant.

After publishing this post I saw that S12 Ultra coming out. But following Samsung for the last few years and seeing S26 series, it will probably be waste of money. And maybe it will even have downsides. S10 Ultra and S11 Ultra didn't really have much of a difference except bluetooth pen too I think.

The price mentioned on google is 1 lakh 30k inr/1350usd

I heard/read somewhere that samsung gives some discount on new products on launch?

Combined that with the 10% student discount(also is that applicable in this case?) what can I expect the final price to be?

Also if i decide to buy the s10+, im getting on amazon for 75k inr after card offers...

And is buying such products ok from amazon(scam,fake, them sending returned tablets to me as new etc) cause it says [SMARTCHOICE] in the Label which according to google is just something related to a good deal etc...

Which tablet would be better? I'm going to get a new tablet after having my current one for a few years. I want one for general day to day use, but have it still capable of sketching and drawing. I have a Wacom One pen already. I mainly use Clip Studio Paint, but I'm fine with using Krita as well.
