Oneplus 8 reverse charging - OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi there,
I received my one plus 8 pro and turn on the reverse wireless charging
I was able to charge my Samsung s10+ ,
my Samsung buds but when i tried charging my Samsung frontier s3 / galaxy s2 it didn't charge.
Any idea?
thanks in advance

Are these the Samsung watches? The gear S3 and S2? If so, I do not believe they support Qi wireless charging and needed their special chargers. I may be wrong but that's probably the case.

Thanks for the fast answer
Yea they are Samsung watches, rechecked it and the gear s3 really doesn't support Qi and the newer galaxy watch s2 does but it seem to be a smaller coil so not standard support.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S4 MHL/HDTV Adapter

Hello fellow enthusiasts, I'm wondering if anyone has been able to source a black Samsung Galaxy S4 MHL/HDTV Adapter? I'm particularly interested in this because (1) I have a black Samsung Galaxy S4 and (2) The Samsung Galaxy S4 MHL/HDTV Adapter does not require a power source.
I've searched almost everywhere and can't get it in black! Any ideas?
They have it on Samsung official site

They have it on Samsung official site and Bestbuy has it also.
I just got mine delivered from amazon today. Very clear 1080p signal, but the end of the cable is a bit fat. I will need to break it apart and retape it in order to fit through the opening in my Neo hybrid spigen case.
Never seen a black one. Beware though - it night not need a a power source but it sucks battery like there's no tomorrow.
Found one in Bestbuy,not sure if need power supply

[Q] Should I buy this or the Note 10.1 (2014)?

I have the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 which charges and syncs using a USB 3 port. I have an old 1-gen Galaxy Tab 10.1 which use to read documents and sometimes read news like on my Note 3. Then I use these two devices while I travel I have to carry two chargers with me the old Samsung non-USB charger for my GT 10.1 and the USB 3 charger for my Note 3.
Some say that the only thing you get from buying this tablet insteed of Note 10.1 2014 is that the Note Pro 12.2 has the larger screen and the USB 3 port. Is that true? Regards if I buy the Note 10.1 2014, I still have to carry two chargers around with me a mini USB 2.0 an mini USB 3.0. What would you Guys surgest that I buy?

I have both the note 3 and note pro, I personally like the extra few inches on screen because it is good for textbook reading and good for note taking. The note 10.1 2014 is a lot cheaper, so if you use cost as a factor, get the note 10.1 2014. I got the note pro 64GB when it was 849, now it is down to 799 for the 64GB, about 9GB is used for system storage on the note pro. The flip board ui is actually nice, but it limits your home screens on the normal TouchWiz UI. The office is really handy as well, but all depends on what you use it for.

USB 3.0 doesn't affect charging on either the N3 or the N12. Its only value is faster data transfer times to/from a USB 3.0 Windows PC. The S-800 devices charge faster but it's because of Qualcomm's QuickCharge chip, not USB 3.0.
The Galaxy Note 3 ships with USB 3.0, unfortunately at least in its current state it doesn't seem to get any benefit from the interface. Although the internal eMMC is capable of being read from at ~100MB/s, sustained transfers from the device over adb averaged around 30MB/s regardless of whether or not I connected the Note 3 to a USB 2.0 or 3.0 host.
Update: USB 3.0 does work on the Note 3, but only when connected to a Windows PC with USB 3.0. Doing so brings up a new option in the "USB Computer Connection" picker with USB 3.0 as an option. Ticking this alerts you that using USB 3.0 might interfere with calls and data, but then switches over. Connection transfer speed is indeed faster in this mode as well, like you'd expect.
Charging is an interesting story on the Note 3, but primarily because of what doesn’t change. The Note 3 continues to use Samsung’s tablet charging specification and charger, which has 2 amps of maximum output. The Note 3 draws 2 amps over a considerable amount of the charging curve, like other Samsung devices (in the linear part of the charge curve). USB 3.0 doesn’t change things up here quite yet with the new supported charge voltages that are coming eventually with the power delivery specification.

Well I have tested a mini USB 2.0 cable on my Note 3 for charging, and my exprience is that it took almost and hour extra to charge my Note 3 using a Micro USB 2 cable than the Micro USB 3 cable which came with the phone.
Doesnt the quick charge need usb 3.0 to work? I would get the 12.2 the 10.1 feels so miniscule now and the 12.2 is miles ahead in usability

And I bet it's a non-Samsung cable you're using. Someone posted charging times with Apple and HTC cables/chargers and they were longer because the device was pulling less amperage. My N3 charges just as fast using Samsung 2.0 cables as it does with the 3.0 cable included.

No. It's S-800 related, not USB related.
I Know its the S-800 but I haven't seen anything but the Note 3 and galaxy tabs with 3.0 AND S-800 Claiming to use the feature. None of the others using the chip claim to support quick charge AFAIK . Maybe reviewers just overlook it?

Oh my bad. I thought the s800 was quivk charge 2.0. I hadnt ever seen it talked about before the note 3. nice info Barry

@Euroman28 I have both and will be putting the Note 10.1 2014 with a boatload of accessories up for sale. That should tell you which I prefer.
When I first got the Pro, it was so much bigger and heavier than my 10.1. I decided to make the 10.1 my couch tablet and the Pro my work tablet.
Two weeks later, and my 10.1 sits untouched for the past three days. The only use it's gotten in the past week is my daughter using Sketchbook.
The 10.1 has its advantages - it's much lighter, easier to hold in one hand, and for games with on screen thumb controls, the 10.1 is light enough for extended gaming.
Everything else? The Pro owns. Remote Desktop, comics, magazines, video, browsing - you name it, and it's better on the Pro. Sketchbook is much better too because there's more area to rest your hand.
I had been saying I'd get the 10.1 if I had to choose because it's a better all around package. But in the past week I've done a 180.
Been there done that, moving on with my 12.2 Note .
Peace and blessings,
Azeke

I think it really depends upon what you value more. Portability or sheer capability, the Note 10.1 is a highly capable tablet which is also fairly portable, the 12.2 on the other hand benefits from an even larger screen and is even more capable than the 10.1 but it suffers with portability.

I've considered the 10.1". But it simply feels too small for me. I'm one of those people who prefers usability over portability (As evidenced by my 17.3" laptop and my 5.7" Note 3), and the 12.2" is absolutely perfect. (Well no, I would've prefered an AMOLED screen, but alas, those don't exist in that size. So perfect by what's available.).
The 12.2" simply offers more. Bigger screen, more screensize (which really matters when you're multitaksing, typing, reading, watching a film, browsing or gaming.) and more usability. I can now read a magazine in full size, or use a full-sized A4 notepad (well, minus a cm or so) for my sketching and note taking. With films I no longer have to squint at the screen to see what's going on. I watched LOTR3 Extended Bluray on this thing last night. Brilliant, it's a portable TV!
Not to mention using it for navigation (When someone else is driving. We have a shared hatred for TomTom and other speaking navigation systems. I can read a bloody map, ta.). To have that much screen space is a true delight!
I don't get why people say it's not portable though. I use it during my extensive commute (7.5h a day), and I've not once had a moment where it felt too big to handle. The only times I couldn't use it was when changing trains, and I wouldn't even use my phone during that time for risk of theft or damage. (Am I the only one who's always afraid it'll fall onto the tracks when boarding the train?).
I don't think it's too big. My hands are fairly small (women glove size 6) but I can hold this comfortably on the train or sofa without it becoming too heavy.
I tried using my 10.1" TF700 yesterday as well. God no, I am never using anything that small again!

I have an alternate opinion. I have a note 8 already , and got a note 10.1 2014 recently from Costco. They’ve also dropped the price on the 12.2 lately, it’s only about 80$ more than the note 10.1, so I purchased it with the intention of possibly replacing the note 10. (Still within the 90 day window)
I use my note in an office, for taking meeting minutes and random surfing when I have a min. The note 12.2 is big. It looks almost as big as a 14’ Laptop screen, so in effect I look ridiculous carrying it around. It looks like I have an extra personal laptop at my desk. Plus with that size factor I’m seriously inclined to look at a Windows 8 tablet which I can use as a proper PC. (Yes, I know it is more expensive)
If I were planning to use this only at home and use only the note 8 at the office, I would keep it in a heartbeat. However, I’m planning to retire the note 8, so the 10.1 is a compromise that works in both places.
My 12.2 also has the screen flickering issue, so it would need to go back anyway. I don’t see myself getting a replacement...
Just goes to show that samsung is right to flood the market with choices.

Understandably so. It is, after all, a matter of personal preference. You have to use your tablet, not anyone else. So you should buy the one you prefer, not what someone else prefers.
It also matter what you do at the office and at home as to wether it is useful. Whilst I find a thousand uses for it as a designer, I can easily imagine someone with a less creative occupation would not find as much use for a tablet of this size, and would prefer something more portable. I need the extra screen landscape, but others do not per se.
I often use it as a fourth screen. My laptop's and two 22" monitors are the main setup, with the tablet as a secondary system. One screen for Photoshop, one for Indesign/Illustrator, one for Bridge(the laptop) and my tablet serves as my internet/sketching system. The advantage of that is that with two split systems, the impact on the hardware is less severe. (because Photoshop + Indesign + Bridge is a VERY big resource hog. It makes Skyrim at Ultra look like notepad.)
I do often get reactions that I look ridiculous with a tablet this big, yes. I honestly can't be bothered to care. It's MY tablet, not theirs. I have to use it, not them. What they think is so unimportant it's an entirely different planet. I did not buy the tablet for them. Then again, I also get a lot of reactions from people who really like the size of it.
For entertainment and artistic purposes, it's a perfect size. For non-artistic and non-media use, not so much. For corporate use, it would depend on the kind of job.
Although one does look quite retarded taking pictures with it. :laugh: :silly:
I really do like the idea of the Surface with full Windows 8. The thing about it that puts me off faster than a pair of crocks is the Intel HD 4400.
I refuse to pay 2000 euro for rubbish that should've been banned from the market a decade ago. (I would want the best one as a laptop replacement for my Gaming needs as well. And Skyrim, Dragon Age, Mirror's Edge or Mass Effect on an Intel HD GPU = Nope.)
If they bring us the Surface 4 one with a serious Nvidia, I'd be willing to give up the Wacom pen. That would be one hell of a powerhouse! I would so buy that...

Very much so. There are 7 billion people and potential customers on the planet, it is corporate suicide to assume everyone is identical and wants the same thing for the same reasons and use it the same. It's a mistake that's going to bite Apple in the arse soon enough.
You catch more fish with a wide net than with a single hook.
USB 3 works better than expected.
Note 10.1
I did a couple experiments with the Note 10.1 2014, trying to get it to work correctly before giving up entirely. Using either the Samsung charger/cable or the aftermarket one, the tablet would always discharge when the screen was on. Slowly, albeit, but i need a device that can work and charge at the same time. I tried turning down the brightness and switching off the wi-fi, but it had the same results: the battery would keep draining.
Note Pro
I returned the 10.1 2014 and, with some trepidation, got the Note Pro as a replacement. I was pleasantly surprised: with USB 3 and a half-decent charger, it charges during use. I tried using a generic Amazon USB cable with equally beneficial results. The charger should be 2.1A, but most high-powered, tablet-based ones should do. That's pretty cool, considering I can get a 6-foot USB 3 cable for about $8.
There is something about USB 3 that lets the Note Pro charge faster. I'd recommend it for any "power" users.
I own the note 10.1 2014 - its a great tablet easy to carry around due to the size - it is my go to tablet and very quick once you install the xkat rom and xluco kernel - I also own the 8.4 pro also a great tablet - this one is running cm11 - and much more portable then even the note 10.1, I am picking up a note 12.2 tomorrow - bought a used one at a great price and while I don't need all 3 tablets I will probably keep 2 of them, just not sure which 2 yet - I am thinking it will be the 12.2 and 8.4 but you never know :laugh: my only concern right now is that there are no custom roms for the note pro 12.2 and I really don't like running stock

Galaxy Note 3 Battery NFC change?

Hi guys,
So I read online that the NFC chip is in the battery on Note 3 devices...is it the actual chip or the antenna? Reason I ask is because Android Pay doesn't work with the NOTE 3 because there is a lack of HCE, but just wondering if changing a battery to a third party one with NFC capability could solve this issue, assuming there is one that would support HCE.
Only the antenna. The note 3 won't support android pay.

s5e or s6 lite

Hi people
I am going to buy tablet s5e , but I heard about WiFi problem .
So , going ahead and buy s5e or go to samsung s6 lite ???
Another thing ,s5e and s6lite have an equal performance ???
Thnx alot
Buy both, see which one you like using and give them away to your next door neighbour. I'm sure they'll appreciate it.
Then buy the one you like for yourself!

Yahh ,,, some times I do that , but those tablets are expensive ,and if I buy one it is very difficult to return it to the seller . Just hardware issues considered .
I hope ur my neighbor ???
Looks like the only thing the S6 lite has over the s5e is s pen support and 3.5 mm headphone jack. AMOLED vs LCD? You choose. I'd still go for the s5e even tho it's more expensive and older. It just seems better to me. That's my 2pence worth...

I have the Tab S5e and my daughter has the Tab S6 Lite. There are some differences beyond screen size and S Pen.
The Tab S5e doesn't have S Pen support, but it does have DeX.
The Tab S6 Lite has S Pen support, but doesn't have DeX.
The performance is about the same for both.
My daughter uses her Tab S6 Lite to draw and uses the S Pen regularly.
If you are wanting S Pen, but don't mind not having DeX, then the Tab S6 Lite is for you. If you don't care about S Pen, then the Tab S5e may be the better choice.

There was a time when the S Pen was the only alternative if you wanted an electronic stylus and they would only work on models that came with one. But I have a T720 with a Boxwave Active Stylus that draws a fine line just like the S Pen. I don't think it is "pressure sensitive" like the S pen, but unless you are using it for "drawing", it works just as well as my Surface Book pen does. And you can get one on eBay for under $20.

My daughter wanted the Tab S6 Lite because of the S Pen. She has a Surface Book and loves it and the Surface Book, but there are certain things she couldn't do when drawing on her Surface Book in Autodesk that she can do on an Android device using Autodesk. She could draw on my Tab S5e or her S10, but because neither supported the S Pen, she was limited.
I also have a co-worker, who ironically, is an iPad/iPhone man, that got the Tab S6 Lite. He was impressed with the performance of the Tab S6 Lite.
Back to OP. If you want S Pen support then go for the Tab S6 Lite. You won't be disappointed. If you don't need the S Pen, then either one will work. If you want DeX, then the Tab S5e is the better choice. If you want (or need) both DeX and the S Pen, then you will need to go with the Tab S6. The Tab S6 Lite also has a bigger selection of colors than the Tab S5e, if that is a factor.
Both tablets are excellent tablets.
Thnx people, I love th e s5e but the only thing stopping me is the WIFI problem,.

I very much prefer the OLED screen.
While I do think there have been wi-fi issues after the upgrade to Android 10, I don't find the issue as big a problem as some. And remember, you can choose not to upgrade to Android 10 right away. You can (through settings) avoid the tablet from doing an upgrade to Android 10. Then wait until Samsung fixes whatever went wrong with wi-fi in Android 10.

I don't have any WiFi problems with latest update. You'll be fine with the s5e if you choose it.

There's 2, one of each. Depending on how you hold it you might cover the antenna leading to poor signal.
The update to A10 caused issues on the 5GHz band. This was fixed in the last update I believe.

Good choice. Actually, either one is a good choice.

The WiFi issues may have been addressed by a software patch by now.
I hope you enjoy your Tab S5e. As it is a excellent media content viewer. The AMOLED display has excellent colors and deep blacks.
Does the S6 Lite have HDR? If so, even though OLED screens are generally better, the HDR certification could make something like Netflix a much better experience on the inferior LCD.
