The MOST stable Today Information plugin eva

By the way, can someone recommend the most stable Today Information Plugin?

I was using latest PowerLevel plugin by ScaryBear but it has lots of memory allocation/deallocation problems. Then I switched to simple 15Kb "TodaysInfo" plugin by Lou Terrailloune (v1.7) and it is quite stable but it has significant rendering delays when rotating screen. So, what is the most stable/fastest one to show battery/memory levels and perhaps it can inform you when your battery charge completed (aka PowerLevel/AudioInformer)?

Thanx!!!

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BarryH_GEG:
Like many of you I’ve suffered through trying to get a 10.1” Android tablet to perform typical productivity functions with a keyboard and mouse. I had a G-Tab 10.1 with Samsung’s BT Keyboard Case, a Note 10.1 I used with various BT keyboards and now the new Note 10.1. It’s a miracle. I don’t know whether Samsung finally focused on integrating keyboard and mouse support or if it’s changes Google introduced in 4.3, but finally the keyboard/mouse performance is incredibly seamless.

Here’s part of the secret. There’s now a setting to disable the on-screen keyboard. When selected there’s no longer a fight between the internal and external keyboard as to which has control. And once activated, the new Note knows to disable the on-screen keyboard automatically when an external keyboard is connected. Nirvana.

There’s also zero lag when typing or using the mouse. The latter works as well in Android as you’d expect a mouse to in Windows. After typing for a while I’ll forget I’m using an Android device and start using Windows-only features (like shift-click to select).

The keyboard I’m using has shortcuts for the stock Mail client, stock Browser, settings menu, notification panel, apps, media control, and more so I don’t even need to touch the new Note when I'm head-down in productivity work. It’s incredibly impressive.

For "Word" solutions I use three products - Polaris, QuickOffice, and the Microsoft RDP client to use real Office on my home PC. I’ll usually use Polaris for quick documents I need formatting control over. QuickOffice for something short where I want spell checking. And for serious documents I’ll either start and finish via RDP Word or start something locally with Polaris or QuickOffice and paste it in to RDP Word or save it to DropBox and open it via RDP to complete it.

After suffering through the G-Tab and old Note I can’t describe how night and day the new Note experience is with a keyboard and mouse. I’ve always been sold on S Pen/S Note but now have no qualms traveling solo with the new Note comfortable in what I can accomplish with it compared to schlepping around a notebook/netbook and its assorted paraphernalia.

Here’s my setup.

And this is a must have. It’s an angled USB cable that can be used when the Note’s in a stand to keep it charged.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BarryH_GEG:
KNOX was created with/for the DOD. So I'm guessing the physical capability is there. Whether you can actually navigate the process to get your individual Note connected is between you and the layers of IT and security supporting whatever you're trying to connect to. ;)

How did you deal with the keyboard disconnection issue? I'm still fighting with my keyboard disconnecting if I stop typing for more than a second, and not reconnecting without a couple keypresses, which are sometimes typed in and sometimes not.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BarryH_GEG:
I didn't know there was a keyboard disconnection issue. ;) I'm using a SM-601 and the keyboard's made by Samsung if that makes a difference. Try disabling the on-screen keyboard as shown above. The conflict between the on-screen and physical keyboards in Android has historically been legend. If that doesn't help perhaps try a different brand of keyboard. BT connectivity is (sadly) far from perfect.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] cspradlin:
Ah, I'm using the 600. I'd imagine the firmware is at least slightly different (since everyone continually asks about specific model numbers in threads pertaining to software)

Same here with the sm-p600.Samsung finaly found a solution to get rid of the on screen keyboard when using a bluetooth keyboard.Works perfect.I use the stand pouch from samsung as dock(if a need to charge it i just turn the note around) and the samsung bt keyboard in combination with a 7 euro mouse i found on ebay!!!

Here a pic of my setup.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BarryH_GEG:
It's a cheap folding aluminum stand. I don't remember where I got it; might have been eBay.

http://www.cellz.com/mobile-stand-f...ium=shopping&gclid=CPqorYqt5LoCFUdk7AodEAgA7w

I also have one of these.

http://www.toshiba.com/us/accessories/Tablet-Docks/Tablet-Stands/B2B018

I have the OEM Book Cover but the stands provide some height so I can connect the angled microUSB connector while the Note's sitting on its stand. That way it's fully charged if I'm typing for a couple of hours and doesn't look dorky with the Note turned upside down with a wire sticking out of its top.

It's my own creation from recycled Samsung accessories I couldn't use any more. It's the OG Tab 10.1 BT Keyboard Case that I used an Exacto knife to remove the flap and cover from. It's microUSB rechargeable and lasts a week easily on a charge and is incredibly thin.

I store it in this which is the old G-Tab leather slip cover.

Barry, where did you get that usb angled cable? I've been looking for one like that...

---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 PM ----------

Because of this thread I just started to test out an HP bt keyboard I have around... It's really nice, BUT, I use Swiftkey (on screen keyboard) instead of the Samsung default and every time I turn on the bt keyboard I get a pop up system message telling me that the tablet it's defaulting back to the stock Samsung keyboard... That's annoying because when I'm done using the bt keyboard, I have to go back to the settings and default back Swiftkey...

BTW, as a reference, that switch to enable/disable the on screen keyboard only shows up when the bt keyboard is detected. Once you turn off the bt keyboard, you'll get back the on screen keyboard without the need to do anything. (In the case the switch is off).

I'm using the Microsoft Mobile Wedge Keyboard and Mouse, via Bluetooth. The keyboard is fantastic, with the occasional bit of lag. If I connect the mouse however, everything falls apart unfortunately. Using the mouse disables the keyboard, until I start typing again, then that disables the mouse. Very annoying and I hope it just requires a software fix. Otherwise, I have a something between a Chromebook and Windows 8 laptop in terms of productivity.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] ccampbell1:
Are the Bluetooth keyboard issues resolved on the US WiFi SM-600 ? I found it unusable on mine, constant disconnects followed by complete keyboard non recognition, and tablet lag all over the place. Would take a reboot to recover performance. This happened with several different keyboards. I returned the tablet, partly for this reason. If I can be sure Samsung has solved this with perhaps some update, I might re-buy the tablet, because I loved it in most other ways, but it was useless for BT keyboard use, at least for me.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] cspradlin:
Actually found that disabling the on-screen keyboard (as mentioned previously in the thread) fixed those problems, at least for me. My keyboard (a Microsoft Wedge) now works just fine. Only annoyance being it has to automatically switch to the Samsung keyboard, and I have to manually change back to Swype afterwards.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] matsuru:
If you are using external keyboard, you cab try an app called external keyboard helper. It has an option to called upon the pop up Keyboard switch window when u start using and stop using the external keyboard.

Give to a try. :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] GeorgeP:
Try this:

1. Switch off the keyboard.

2. Gently tap on all of the keys for 25 - 30 seconds.

3. Let the keyboard sit for a minute of two.

4. Switch on the keyboard, and pair it to your tablet again.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] LaRoach:
Not really. I tried the trick mentioned earlier with disabling the onscreen keyboard without much luck.

IMHO we're screwed for BT keyboards until Kit Kat gets released as Google doesn't seem to have any desire to fix the problem in Jelly Bean. You can, of course, root but then your warranty is void if the Knox bit gets tripped.

Keyboard key issue

Hi,

I have tried to ask for help in other topics too without any success so sorry if someone feels it is not the right topic:) So I started to use my P605 as a PC replacement , with bluetooth keyboard and mouse and with Allshare Cast dongle to mirror the screen to my monitor. It is great. I am suffering only from missing key kombinations. CTRL+C, CTRL+V and ALT-TAB are the most important the others which are exist is quite easy to get used to. I have tried to ExternalKeyboardHelperPro application where it should be possible to define custom keycombination, but at the end I did not managed to do this. I have tried to contact the developer but no response. Is there anyone who can help me how it is possible to use these key combinations in any way(not neccessary to use ExternalKEyboard).

Many thx

Hi there,

Cool news what you ha e submitted there. I wanted to ask that for the sake of using the tablet as a full fledged laptop a full fledged office app is also necessary.

While all this mobile apps focus o n touch friendly interfaces stumbled upon this fork of OpenOffice in the play store.

Is the real deal, runs great with All the stuff you are used to already. It is worth totally the shot.

Here is the link:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andropenoffice

I am using it in GNote 10.1 first edition, and was checking the forum before making my decision to upgrade for the 2014 ed. It would be nice if the guys who have a complete set of tools (keyboard and mouse) would post some impressions on performance and visualization.

Also, as a former Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet user, I got the keyboard accesory for it and I was able to do COPY, CUT, PASTE functions with the keyboard. Could you please confirm this? Deleting stuff should not be a problem as for now is quite impractical but it does the job. Having the android keyboard disabled, it shlould be a breeze using this app with a mouse. Looking forward to see comments and screenshots. Thanks in advance for the tests.

So here is my little contribution :)

I just got a microsoft wedge keyboard today and I agree this is a really viable laptop replacement. Incidentally the wedge keyboard looks like it was made to go with it if you have the black tablet; it has an almost-matching silver edge.

I still have a few things to sort out to get it to work right but I am very comfortably sitting here right now using the keyboard and tablet together, with the tablet upside down on the wedge stand.

I'm really pretty impressed. I can see this working very well for me. If I expect a lot of work, take laptop. Medium work, take tablet + keyboard. Minimal work, just take tablet. It is especially viable with RDP and VPN.

One annoyance (there are a few, but they all seem likely to be fixable) is that when I hit "space" while still holding "shift", the screen gets overlaid momentarily with the word "english" and the space keypress doesn't register in what I am typing. It turns out that I hit space while holding shift pretty often when I am typing quickly. Is this just because I installed ML1 firmware which includes more than one language? I am guessing that shift+space toggles languages. Any way to turn it off?

Not all keyboards are the same

My setup is the Logitech Tablet Keyboard and the Microsoft Wedge Mouse. I find that Logitech has set the power saving WAY too conservative for my taste (5 - 10 second disconnect). I'm not sure what the Apple BT Keyboard is, but since it was originally a desktop keyboard, I'm betting it's better.

I'm using the Citrix Receiver to connect to my company's published desktop. I also think the Microsoft RDP client is the best one on the market, and to answer the Windows 8 question, yes, you need Pro or above (Enterprise, Ultimate) to have RDP capability to your machine. Recommendation - do NOT directly expose the RDP port (3389) to the Internet. You're just asking to be hacked.

Mine (which is about to be collected for replacement) works with a bt keyboard or mouse, but not with a bt keyboard AND mouse. Have you tried with both a mouse and keyboard via bt?

When I asked about the return process, the seller got back to me saying, "i've checked with the supplier and this is a known issue, so we'll collect it by courier and send a brand new replacement".

I think even though you've rooted it you should try to return it. It is a nuisance but given that Samsung are clearly aware of the hardware issue you might be okay. You will feel better if you have a non-faulty device. AFAIK we do not know that tripping the knox flag will cause Samsung to reject the return, we are just assuming that they will.

Seriously?

The Note is a small tablet. It's powerful and can do most of the day-to-day tasks that most people use a PC or Mac for. If you want to run Monte Carlo simulations, an enterprise class database or, dare I say it, do 3D CAD, I am afraid you will have to look elsewhere. Apart from anything, a 10" screen is hardly suitable for things like CAD or DTP.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BarryH_GEG:
Well said. It's a matter of picking the right tool for the job. Those that do CAD work or manipulate 4GB Excel files aren't picking tablets. Tablets are generalist tools that combine consumption and productivity. Android is biased to the former, Surface to the latter. And the N12 offers nothing performance wise over the N10.1-14 other than a 2" diagonally larger display and comes with all the productivity limitations of every Android tablet that has preceeded it.
