Hi all,
I've just ordered a Galaxy Tab, and am worried that the experience isn't going to end up a heck of a lot different to my HTC Desire. For me it's just mostly going to be used as a WIFI tab, with the 3G used when I am travelling OS (that use case will be very useful for me in fact as my Desire is firmly locked here in Japan by Softbank).
What I would like to know, is if there is a list of apps known that take advantage of the tab's extra screen size? Similar to how Samsung's own apps do it. I see on AppBrain that there are a growing number of apps that mention they've had Galaxy Tab support added, but there's generally no indication if this means they provide a more tablet-like experience to the Tab or not. So if anyone knows of any that do, please let me know.
Thanks!
Angry bird.

Theres a thread in the apps and themes section. Crazy huh?
This thread is simply made for gathering ideas and wishes for Apps only for our Galaxy Note so that app developers could come here and check for ideas.
Wouldn't it be nice to have some apps that only us - Note users - could use because of our huge screen and S-pen that others do not own? Ongoing challenge to create an app for Note is in my opinion very welcome, cos I've had my note since november, and there's not many apps available that would make people want to buy Note. Except S memo and S note of course.
Everyone has probably thought that it's nice to have a pen for drawing and so on but maybe it's possible to have let's say 10 apps that is perfect for our Note only, because of it's 5,3 inch screen and S-pen. Let's start a discussion yeah?
Samsung revealed their new tablets today, with android 4.4 and a new UI. I can't decide if I like it or not.
Also, do you think they will bring it to the Note 3, and will the 4.4 update make root harder?
i'm atheist but it's time for a little prayer
god please don't let samsung do this to us, fellow note 3/s4 users
we've done nothing wrong, please don't punish us
jokes aside, i think its super ugly even tho Android Authority (i think) is praising it as pretty "simplistic" "clean" "good refreshed touchwiz" design
this is bull****. Apple hasn't made anything copy-worthy in past one year so now copy windows 8? This stupid thing is simply live tiles (or watevz Micro$oft calls them) combined with the ****ty my magazine app and slapped on top of previous TouchWiz. I can't say i prefer it to old touchWiz
Well.. I liked it.

There are already reports that small OTA update took away root, so it's 99% sure any new update will make root harder, the patch is ready now.
If it looks remotely like the new Win 8 Live Tile interface, I hate it already without seeing it, Win 8 is the most ugly, useless thing ever conceived. At least thanks MS for ability to downgrade to Win 7.
Anyone got a link so I can have a peek?, can't seem to find it for some random reason
It looks awful. Can't we please just get core android and be done with these pointless skins? Add Touchwiz as an option or something, yeugh.
I'll stick with Apex as the launcher, and Zooper Widget on the lockscreen...

I actually look forward to it
Samsung didn't copy windows 8, they did something similar to chameleon launcher except they removed the app dock.
I guess it really helps especially on a 12.2 in tab where you can get every thing on one screen (calendar, weather, mail, feed, and favorite apps and content without the ugly touchwiz app dock)
it says under testing...so i hope it still is....it needs a couple of key improvements especially on the icons...if it goes a lot closer to kitkat's original icons....then this new UI gets my vote...at this point...anything's better than the current touchwiz...been seeing it since s3...eyesore now
I want the new Magazine UX !!
I know most people don't like the new UI from the NotePro tablet, but I really do. Is there a launcher that is quite similar to this or can someone even port this to the note 3? I'm already using Chameleon launcher but it just doesn't cut it. Anyone?
Those things look like widgets to me and you could probably delete them and it would look the same. Im not a big widget guy. I got widgest but no on the home screen.
So I have had my Samsung gear 2 for two weeks now and love it. I have it paired with my Samsung S5 Active which is so great! After doing so research in the apps that can be downloaded to my samsung gear 2, I noticed that I do not have many apps in the samsung gear app store. But when I watch people on youtube with their samsung gear 2 they have sooo many more apps than I do, like the great apps like Fleksy and other cool apps for the gear 2.
After talking to different people on youtube that are showing videos of their app store and all the many different apps than I have. One of the people told me that since I have a Samsung S5 Active, I will not get ALL the apps in the gear mangager store. He was also saying about changing my model number to the normal Galaxy S5, so it will access more apps I guess?
Any help or links for rooting my samsung s5 active to being able to have more apps on my samsung gear 2 would be soo helpful!
I am in the same boat as you. I have the exact same issues and I have been researching all over the Internet and have had no luck. I would really love some help from the professionals on here!
I will post on here if I find any other info.
Hi,
I just upgraded from a GS5 to a GS7 Edge. I noticed the "Read Notifications Aloud" option under "Language and Input" in the settings is no longer there. Specifically, I use the feature to read notifications aloud from priority senders in the e-mail app.
Does anyone know if this functionality is still in the phone, but under a different option. I have tried every third party option, and have been unable to find the same functionality in any of the apps.
Any help would be VERY greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
I fear this feature is gone since S6...

I thought that might be the case too, but then I saw something. I can't post a link here, but if you search on Google for "Menu tree: Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ (G928T)" and do a CTRL-F for the word "aloud" on the first search result that comes up (at least in the US), it is listed in the menu structure for the GS6 Edge+ just like it was for the GS5.
wrong phone bud

Yes the s6 has it and is easily accessible but we are talking about the S7 and unfortunately it doesn't have it it is also missing numerous other things including the rf sensor needed for remote use for TV .I still use my s5 for all the the things I Miss on my s7 between the 2 you could build one SUPER PHONE!!!
Total nonsense Samsung w alarm and tts
This is a serious error on Samsung's part. Limiting the text to speech (TTS) function and the alarm name read aloud not to mention number of characters and alarms is a massive miscalculation. The INFRA red remote control BLASTER also a (sorry for the caps the idiot bell mobility gs7 keeps doing that very frustrating). Im going to to flash soon to the generic samsung gs7 android or fido. This coupled with how those television and android phone updates, are very vague about what each one does. I phoned the sheeple at 1800samsung , that bozo said "newer is better" regarding my tv update. I said" that's a lie, I updated my gs5 and suddenly video files that played back flawlessly, were not working due to codecs you removed. " He didn't know what a codec was and repeated "newer is better".
I hung up. Samsung if you want to be like apple then improve your phone reps knowledge (yes I have a iPhone 5s too)
Immitating apple by limiting users . At least they add features not get rid of core functions or cripple them.
I rely on my gs5 to read allot let's say at 3pm to say "reminder call courier company and gave packages ready "
Or
"now is the time intake critical mesications "
I used to recommend this to patients
As a reason to have a Samsung phone.
You were on a roll.samsung until gs5 then you introduced apple like hardware and software. All you had to do was update processor and ram and storage leave everything else on gs5 alone ads things like the face recognition that LG has had since their G2 model from 2013.
Was it the young douchebag you Put in charge of mobile decision or the heir to the sun and moon fortune. Get it right Mr sung or your gonna lose many of us.
Ever since the s6 they've been trying to be apple if we wanted apple we'd buy apple . In s7 they took more away ie INFRA , gave us back memory expansion. Samsung may make me switch to LG or something else if this keeps up I've the gs1 captivate, gs3 -gs7.
I doubt Samsung agents come on here. They are probably too busy acting like Jason Bateman 's boss the heir on horrible bosses 1. Lol
If this keeps up I will be abandoning Samsung as my mobile device of choice. They can simply fix the tts and clock in software. Or better yet start at the gs5 and improve things from there. I will not be purchasing a s8 or s9.
