I just set up the Samsung Kids Mode app on our family's tablets and it works quite well. If it's not preinstalled it should be in the Galaxy Apps store. It disables IAP, allows access to only certain apps, lets you set time limits and so forth.

BTW, T530 is a Tab 4 10.1 not a Tab A. 5.0.2 is the latest OS for T530. I had one and sold it to upgrade to the Tab E 9.6 T560NU, which I then sold to upgrade to the Tab A 10.1 T580. I modded all of them, mostly to get rid of Knox and other unnecessary apps.
If you do indeed have the Tab 4 you would be better off looking in the Tab 4 section.

Oh, that must be the T350 which is the Tab A 8.0. My wife has that tablet and I installed the Kids Mode app on it today.
Android 6.0.1 is the latest OS for that but it looks like Nougat is coming any day now.

Samsung has released a firmware update for the Galaxy Note II, which enables the much anticipated split-screen multitasking feature.
Multi-View enhances the multitasking capabilities of the Galaxy Note II, allowing you to run two apps on the screen simultaneously. Mind you, not all Android apps are supported, but unlike the Galaxy Note 10.1, where only Samsung apps could be brought up to the screen, Multi-Window supports Google apps as well (Gmail, YouTube, Chrome and Talk).
The update version is XXALIJ1 and comes with a new baseband, as well as an update to Google Chrome.
If you own a Samsung Galaxy Note II, you can check for the new firmware from About device -> Software update. While waiting to download, you can see Multi-Window in action on the official Samsung Galaxy Note II ad below (around the 2 minute mark).

I used S note a lot on galaxy Note.
Then bought Note 2 - used S-note even more.
Then I bought Note 10.1 - and got dissapointed, the S-note app for 10.1 were older and missed some fetures.
Now I bought Note 3 - a much newer "S note" app, that converts the notes to a new format. - that note 10.1 never got an update for...
So. using Samsung proprietary app, which they (dirty bastards) do not update using Google Play, is a big fail. It makes me stuck with old version of the app, something that would not happen to any normal Android app on google Play.
Morale of this story is: do not trust apps that are not updated via google play for all devices.
Solution ?
I've tried to copy the note3.apk from note3 to my note 10.1 , but for some reason, it fails to install every time.. and I do not know why ?

just bought the 10.1 yesterday BECAUSE of the s-note?!??!?!!
damnit!!!
have you tried copying over the note2.apk?
I think it's flat out ridiculous that we have to be stuck with old versions of software because the companies are too greedy and only focuses on new products and selling new hardware/software. I mean we've been on 4.1.2 since release and 4.3 is rolling out to other devices. Couldn't we at least be on 4.2.2? Come on Saumsung. I love your devices but this is craziness.

Check out Lecture Notes, works well & offers may more features than all versions of stock software. Since when do the hardware mfg's have to offer all software? They don't provide updates via Android Store because they can offer updates via firmware, so why should they have to pay Google for a service they already provide? My advise open your wallet instead of your mouth.

Well, Samsung does not need to pay google for free updates via Play, - and could resctrict it to their devices.
On the other hand, they could provice updates using Samsung apps market, which they do not....
finally you write "because they can offer updates via firmware" - and that's the main problem: they did not.
- While you are prety cocky with "My advise open your wallet instead of your mouth" - you brought one great suggestion for an app... purchased.
thanks.

I must be missing something here. My notes work fine on my Note 10.1 (2012 edition) and my Note II.
There are some minor differences, but I can still read them on both devices.
OP is fruatrated because not all Samsung devices are using the same version of note-taking software, right?

My take is the newest version on the Note 3 will convert notes from 2/10 to a newer format. And the 2/10 do not YET have the newer version of SNote to use the newer format.

Ahhh, so when you work on things with your Note 3, they are no longer compatible with your Note 2/10.1(2012) ... that's no good.
What happens when you try to open them? Would you be willing to share a screenshot of an error or ... ? Your Note II/10.1 just won't see them?

The converted notes become invisible for old s note application. (not much to screenshot)
I would share the current s-note3 app if anyone is better at finding out why it won't install on the 10. 1
s note app with Samsung Apps Store
It will probably roll out with the next OS update. Samsung committed to take the 10.1 as far as 5.0. I'm betting it will go to 4.3 before Christmas since compatibility with Gear needs 4.3 and they want you to buy a Gear for Christmas!

I had the same problem called the dutch samsung helpdesk he told me this problem would be fixed when 10.1 update to 4.3 in about 2 to 3 weeks.
other differences
The new SNOTE stores its files in a differnent folder on the sd card and in additon, the old snote could handle folders of notes, but the new one doesn't seem to support this.
EDIT: It does support folder but you have to tap the "recent note" and then the menu allows you to create a folder. The only way to possible share between verison I can see is to export from Note3 to pdf and then import the pdf in Note 2. Sucks..

I was also quite disappointed with S Note. I used Samsung Note 10.1 (2012)'s S Note extensively, and sync them to the Samsung account. Just bought the 2014 Note 10.1, and to my surprise, the old S Notes don't sync over.
I resorted to Syncing with Evernote, and then opening up in Evernote in the 2014 edition. When I click on the notes, it says I have to covert them to the new format. When I did, it looked like everything was mucked up. Diagrams all went out of alignment etc.
Anyone know what to do to get around this??

The best would be if somebody managed to install note3.apk from a newer device, on the 10.1
Do you still have the old one? If so export the notes to PDF. Maybe lots of work but should get them moved.

Hello guys
I want to buy the tab 4 t230 mainly for reading pdf files
is it a good tablet and how about its performance ? I don't want it to be all laggy
thanks for your help
I don't know about the 230, but I have the 330 model and reading PDF files, and any other sort of document is a overall good experience for me. One could make the argument that bigger is better, but for me having the 8" model in horizontal or even vertical layout has worked quite well when it came to looking at notes, editing documents or even reading textbooks for college lectures/classes. I haven't noticed any lag when it came to just looking at a file, only when it came to running graphics intensive games.
(Quick summary) I use the 8" tablet daily and love it. recently, I purchased two textbooks from the play store and reading them and other PDF files work perfectly. :good:
-still it's always good to browse around.
Update: Before I made the purchase on the 8" model I read around that if you have a little bit extra it was a good idea to buy the 8" model over the 7" cause of the different processors inside. So it's all about how much you're willing to spend.

Edit. I would not buy the 7...
I bought the 8 and the below is for the 8...sorry. I forgot to mention that.
The tab in itself is decent, but with samsung pushy BS Apps the tab is slower...
However, should you buy the tab >> Root device with Towel root >> Freeze / uninstall all bloatware >> Install nova launcher >> Disable animations system wide >> Move larger apps to SD >> Presto = You've got a good tab!
Samsung software is not needed whatsoever. You can get a huge performance advantage by removing bloatwares and providing near android stock performance with nova launcher and animations disabled.
srsly no, i am still unable to root it, for the same price i would suggest a nexus 7
I rooted it out of the box a night or two ago. Just got it.
Same here, root capabilities were available a few weeks to a month after it was available for purchase back in june. I bought my tablet back in May when it first came out. However, I would still agree that a nexus 7 would be a good purchase if you just want to use a tablet for reading PDFs. Actually the Nexus 7 2013 edition is on sale for $159 on Ebay. The Nexus is still Googles current-gen device as of now and has many accessories and what not available, while it took months before I could even buy a cheap case for this tablet ( Better cases and accessories are out now, just not a plethora made specifically for the Tab4).

What is your device model? My tab is the 8 inch one. The 8 and 10 have similar specs and processor whereas the 7" tab has a marvel based processor and thus is different methodology to root.
Also, Yes I did update to latest firmware on my tab. Opened the box, ran updates, and rooted all about 3 days ago.

I do too know if I am speaking out of place, but can you return it and get the 8? Fr9. What is love ready Modders are having issues with the 7. The 8 and 10 are where it's at. I believe the 7 will always be sluggish.

yeah its a gift from the telephone company, if i get to pick i prolly will go with the 10 inch one, or the new sony z3tc
Ah, you might be out of luck until they can find a better root method for the marvel processor in your model..
Thiugh, reportedly if you go to the towel root thread it has worked for 7 inch users.

Well, it looks like Microsoft is finally inching closer towards releasing Microsoft Office for Android tablets, and I'm sure quite a lot of you with Note Pro 12.2" tablets would be interested to try it out.
(sorry, can't post links yet, but just google for 'office android tablet', there is a lot of information released on news sites in the last 24 hours.)
Unfortunately, the preview sign-up says they are only supporting tablets 7" - 10.1"
I tried signing up for a preview and chose 10.1" but when it asked for the tablet model I chose other and typed in "Samsung Galaxy Note Pro"... I guess I might get rejected
Can anyone share their experiences if they've been able to get the preview running on the Note Pro?

That's the old crappy version (15), not version 16 beta which is what this thread is about.
Seems the latest beta supports our tablet without having to side load. Just download it from the play store like normal.

Yup, the Beta from the 16th allowed for screens larger than 10.1". Some people are reporting that you MUST have Office 365 to edit docs with the latest beta *IF* your screen is over 10.1". While many are complaining about it, this is consistent with their policy for Windows tablets. With Windows tablets, the cutoff is 9". iPads ...... well they are no "laptop replacement" tablets yet so it's free on all of them.
It's rather annoying, but not a deal breaker for me. I ran out and picked up a 4 year university subscription as I currently qualify for it. The latest preview runs smoothly, but at the moment I still honestly prefer HWord.
