Will have these 2 devices next week after both are repaired, been quite a few months since I last had both
The Gear S would not connect to the Tab S so am wondering if anyone has been able to get this working,
Think from memory the best solution I found was renaming the build proc?? If that makes any sense,
Any help would be great

The S Pen APK's can be found easily enough, the problem is the screen doesn't support the pen. You can find a replacement screen for the Note 8 on eBay and then install it on your Tab 3. Personally I would just buy a EVGA Note 7 and call it day, you can probably sell your Tab 3 8 for the 200 dollar asking price of the EVGA. Your then getting a much, much, much faster tablet as the EVGA has the new Tegra 4, comes with a active digitizer pen which you can than install the S Pen software, an HDMI out port, so you don't have to fork over an additional 50 for the Samsung MHL HDMI adaptor and it has better build quality, actually one of toughest tablets I have seen. Then there is the best part, it's the closest to having a Nexus device without, well, buying a Nexus device. Pure Android, just a 350mb system OS footprint vs. the 2GB plus laggy mess that is TouchWiz. The updates are also released as fast as a Google Nexus device as this is a NVIDIA reference design, so no more waiting 8 months like with a Samsung.

This is just suggestion if you want a fast, inexpensive tablet with pen support. If you decide to go with the first option let me know, I could help locate the parts and even help with the install by providing detailed instructions. I have a friend who works in the Tablet/Phone repair department for Interdiscount.ch here in Switzerland. Since the Samsung's have more problems than any other tablet manufacture that they sell he might actually have the parts your looking for on hand, his words, In fact when I bought a Tab 3 10.1 he called me an idiot and told me for every 3 sold, 1 is returned. I now know what he meant as I returned mine after only a few days and got the Nexus 10, I heard the Tab 3 8's are much better though. I will contact him on your behalf if your interested. I like visiting his workshop anyway, he always lets me steal a part or two for my Frankenstein projects.
Hello everyone!
I'm very interested in this tablet and instead of buying a stand alone GPS navigator I decided to buy a good tablet that would do a lot more bunch of stuff.
Did any of you try the capabilities of the Tab PRO 10.1" as a GPS navigator? Is the fix slow of fast? I use Sygic, did any of you had/have the chance to try it on this tablet?
Hope someone will help me
I use the 8.4" and a HTC One (m7).
I don't think the 8.4" GPS or WiFi "chips" are as good as the HTC One's.
GPS is slower to pick up a signal and the WiFi works over a much shorter range.
When testing the 8.4 inside, I can wait forever to get a GPS signal, the phone's GPS pick up is just a few seconds.
I've not used the tablet for actually navigate (due to dashboard placement), but, I've tested Sygic in "demo" mode and it works fine.
To sum up, I think the tablet should pick up a GPS signal, by the time you've got into and setup your tablet holder/cables in your car.

Thank you guys! I use now a Galaxy S2 and I find it very hard to navigate: it's slow, laggy and the GPS chip is not fast at all. In a cloudy day I basically can't pick up more than 3 satellites.
I think I'll go with the 10.1" Pro, but only after the 12th of June (when the Tab S line show up) so to know if I'm more interested in one or the other.
In the meantime, please feel free to add any comments or suggestions.
Thank you again!
Looking for some help here to push me one way or another. I just can't make up my mind right now based on the current pricing and pros/cons. I am finding the 32GB N7 for $200 new at a local store. The Pro 8.4 is $330 local (+$25 play store credit). I don't have time to wait for the Nexus 8 or to buy online (but I'm not finding much better online).
Can anyone that has experience with both N7 and Pro 8.4 give some thoughts as to what they like better between the two? My main question, is the extra $105/130 worth it? This will be my first tablet so I'm also concerned that the 7" isn't enough to bridge the gap between my Galaxy Nexus and my laptop. The middle point would be 10" which favors the 8.4.
Thanks in advance!
8" is the sweet spot I think, granted you won't get the latest updates at the same speed like the Nexus will, but I "personally" think the Samsung Tab is the one to go for, I got mine as I wanted a newer tablet than my Note 8.0 (which I sold my 10.1 to buy) the only device I would swap mine for, is if Sammy made an 8.4 Note. The tab has a way better screen and expandable memory, just those 2 things alone are enough to sway me.
I just bought the Tab Pro 8 (instead of the newer Tab S) this morning.
I have also looked at the Nexus 7 and the LG G Pad. I think you get more bang for your buck with the Sammy. It has a better looking screen too.
Thanks for the replies, guys. :good:
I also didn't consider the other "Galaxy Perks". The Go-Go and Sirius XM perks have a little value to me too. While I missed the hell of a deal $250+$50 GC a few weeks back, comparatively speaking (edit: with the 7) I'm probably only looking at about a $75 difference in the end. It would be nice if I could find one for sub $300.
Rooting and knox-ing the Pro would be a given but just like my Galaxy Nexus, the dev support seems to be focused on the N7 - not so much the Pro. With 6 months left on the official support of the N7, it's hard to tell what device will last me longer. In the end, I'd be upgrading devices sometime next year probably.
Is the battery life manageable? I'm used to being tethered (or having 5 spare batteries around) with my Galaxy Nexus but still battery life is a concern. At the same time, I don't really plan on relying on this thing having both a phone and a computer handy 99% of the time.
Once again, thanks for your thoughts.
I have the LTE version so it constantly has a connection, battery lasts all day at least, with my usage (mainly business)
On my unrooted pro 8.4, battery lasted me a day. I use mine for internet and netflix. I got around 6 hours of screen time with about 40% battery left. that was the last time I checked it's battery.
I have just rooted my pro 8.4, and will see what happens.
Hey guys
So my trusty Tab Pro is starting to show signs of old age. In the last year it had a boot loop problems prompting me to reflash a new ROM, it has random reboots, intermittent wifi connection and loosing logins to various apps. I'm not a gamer so when it's working fine it's ok with me but these symptoms I just mentioned tells me my tab is getting closer to it's doom. So this is the reason I'm asking your recommendations for any tablet that I should keep an eye on for sale on Best Buy maybe (which is what I did back when I bought my tablet in 2015). I'm looking for nothing less than what our Tab Pro's capabilities are, so nothing "budget" that are meant for first time tablet owners or for kids where sacrifices are made to have an affordable price tag. I been very happy with my Tab Pro up to now, so I've been out of the loop with whats new in Android tablets.
Thanks for any help

At the moment I would recommend you to just wait. As it is rumored, devices which come with Oreo preinstalled will support project trebble, which will make frequent updates and custom roms much more easier.
Sadly there are no such devices yet, only nougat updated to oreo and that isn't the same.

Sounds like you need a new battery
Just wanted to say that I have similar problems (app crashes, sudden reboots, boot loop) with my SM-T525 and LineageOS 13. Lately it even bricked my device! So for me, too, it's time to consider buying a new tablet. But just like mantarkus I'm not up-to-date regarding recommendable devices, especially ones that are suitable for custom ROMs. Any recommendation is appreciated.
