[Q] 2 questions for sm-217s variant - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My first question is this: What variant roms can I flash or is 217S roms all I can use?
My second question begins with a short back story. My vision is fading so I bought this Tablet so I can see it better. No matter what font size I choose, the font remains super tiny except in the settings menu. The font is even smaller than the font on my Galaxy Note, Note 2, or Note 3. Is there a way I can make the font larger so that these old eyes can read them without a magnifying glass?
Thank you for any and all replies.

2: Unless there is something radically different about the Note II screen or pen, then the iShield screen-protector should work absolutely fine it all works perfectly fine with my Note I
I hope this helps?

[Q] S Note Question

Hello,
Does anyone if S Note is capable of making a page dynamic in the sense that if it needs more room, it will make the page larger (width and length)?
Is there another app that can do this? I looked at some, but they all use pages.
Sometimes I need to draw flowcharts, but I run out of room on my Note 2 and it goes to the next page, making it look weird and not smooth .
Another unrelated question;
It says in my "About Device" my Model Number is GT-N7105T. Is this the LTE version or what?
I live in Australia and got my Note 2 with a Vodaphone plan.
I remember I used to go on a forum which didn't like you signing off. So I won't do it on this thread just in-case.
LTE version it just has different frequencies.

[Q] Galaxy Note 2 Custom rom with Wacom

Hello all,
I've recently ordered a Galaxy Note II from Three (the description was vague so idk if LTE version or not) and I was wondering what a good custom rom would be so that I could still use the Wacom technology in it and have a functioning S-Pen, I was also wondering if there was any mods or apps that would allow me to use my Note as a graphics tablet for my PC which would be pretty cool.
But in your opinion, what is the best custom rom for the N7000 and N7150
thanks
Also I'd like to know an app so I can use my phone as a graphics tablet.
I seen some but is there a way to configure any of them so if I put my SPen at the top right of the phone it'll go to the top right of the screen on my laptop, if you know what I'm trying to say, so the position of the mouse on the screen is relative to the position of the pen on the phone, like most graphics tablets work.

[Q] Note 10.0 2014 Visible Digitizer Matrix

Hello everyone. I have been reading forums on this website for a long time and I must say there is tons of useful information over here. So thought I should become a member too.
Recently I Bought Note 10.1 2014 Edition LTE version. I was expecting it to be much better that its really is. The display is nice but there is lag on this Tablet. It stutters during web browsing. I have a note 3 also which is much smoother although it has 1.9 Ghz Exynos processor as compared to 2.3 Ghz on this tablet. Anyways I have read on net that may be its because it has double the amount of pixels on display as compared to note 3 therefore it has some amount of lag.
Ok my main question to you guys who already own this tablet. In reflection of light I can see the Digitizer Matrix all along the display. its a bit annoying looks like faint sctraches on the screen. I have used many android devices but never experienced anything like it before. while looking as it directly with no light reflection it is not visible at all but even in faintest light reflection is starts to become visible even with the display on
So is it normal or a defect?
Help would be highly appreciated.

Have you used a device with an inductive display before? It puts out an electromagnetic signal which detects the presence of the pen. That's why the display looks different. I've been using mine since November and have never noticed the grid in everyday use. As for lag it pretty much went away with the 4.4 update. If you're already on 4.4 and the display grid is going to bother you return the device while you still can.

The visible matrix does not bother me too much when in use. The display is still beautiful.
I am still on 4.3 coz 4.4 is not available in my region yet. Lets hope once the update is made available in my region, lag will reduce.
The gaming performance however, is better than on note 3.

4.4 is rolling out painfully slow. What region are you in and what model number N10.1-14 do you have? Chances are you can safely download and install a compatible region's ROM without changing the status of your device or tripping KNOX.

You can download the HK 4.4 ROM here.
http://samsung-updates.com/details/30043/Galaxy_Note_10.1_2014_LTE/SM-P605/TGY/P605ZSUCNF1.html
Many people on the forum are using ROMs from other (but compatible) regions because 4.4 hasn't been rolled out to their specific region yet. I'm using a Panamanian ROM on a SM-P601 from Trinidad. They work fine. There can be some oddity (I still have lock screen widgets which I shouldn't and don't have Daynote when I should) but everything else works as designed.
If you've never installed a non-standard ROM on your device do a Google search on "Odin." It'll link you to s/w you need to download and provide you with instructions. I can answer any questions you might have. There's little risk and it doesn't affect your device's status (it stays "official") or KNOX. For me, 4.4 was like getting a new tablet.
Yes I am sure 4.4 solves many issues. I will try the above instructions today. thanks a lot and best regards.

Hi due to political instability in my country, my office is off nowadays and I finally got some time to update my software.
I installed P605XXUCNF2 version which is from NEE region. At first I was not sure but then the lag and stutter in my tablet forced me to go for it.

Like you said Barry its literally like having a new tablet. The lag is gone and overall it has become really smooth.
Thank you for your advice without which I would never have found the solution.
God bless you bro.

i just thought i'd pitch in, theres a setting in chrome you can change to eliminate that lag - it just doesnt allocate enough ram for the resolution its rendered at by default.
Wow another thread about lag..I have had this tab since Dec 2013 ..Never had lag, no issues ever... I have a life, so I don't sit and stare at the tablet all day and pick at it. It's Android . And Sammy it will have some issues...There are quick easy fixes for the mysterious lag people are complaining about. This is the best tab out for this year..The Tab S is the same tab minus the pen..it only has a better screen ..but that could be debated as well.

The amoled display will considerably increase battery life and will have better contrast. Its a huge improvement.
Other specs of tab s is same as note 10.1 as far as I know.
