For me it's Android only for many reasons.

If you don't run into the limitations of iOS, then it's a great purchase.

One of many examples is watching movies you downloaded:

1) No SDCard support meaning you better buy an 128GB+ device - expensive

2) The song and a dance to watch it on iOS (VLC, send over air etc.)

S3? An SDCard no problem. An mkv movie? Copy-paste over wire, you are done.

And that is just one example.

Point is due to the fundamental inherent limitations of iOS I never even get to the point of considering the actual hardware.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kizznyc:
Yep, that's what is is... Basically Android is open source. You can probably even make an app similar to ipad ones
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] d210:
This has nothing to do with open source or not, for example I don't think anybody complained about being hard to transfer files to/from a windows PC (which by the way Surface Pro is, so it isn't only Android versus iOS when it comes to serious tablets).

Also if file transfer is the best iOS limitation we can come up with it's a pretty unnoticed one. Heck, the ipod (THE classic or whatever they call it now, the one that is NOT an iphone without the phone) had no removable storage of any kind, no wireless connectivity of any kind and not only you had to install itunes on the computer to transfer files to it but it was paired to ONLY ONE COMPUTER (if want it to use it with another one you had to wipe it first and start from scratch). Think about this again: if you wanted something on your mobile device (which at some point would do even videos) you had to go to your home PC (a specific one if you had more than one) and transfer from there. You couldn't buy or download anything from the device itself, no youtube, no netflix, no spotify, no plex, no cloud, no ftp, no other tens of network transfer apps, no NOTHING. And it was still a mega-popular device. Now you can do what I mentioned and much more. There's even an adapter for the ipad to get your pictures/movies from SD/card or USB/camera (and pro photographers started to use the ipad; not only as a nice portable display but for heavy apps like Lightroom, which is dog slow everywhere else, including powerful desktop PCs).

Not that I'm voting with my money for an iPad. Thankfully there are still alternatives, even if the best from Samsung (which is probably the best with Android) is pretty pathetic. But if I'm forced to get an iOS device for sure I won't lose any sleep about how hard is to transfer files to it.

Been with Samsung Tablets from since Note 10.1 , Then Tab S 8", and now the Tab S3.

Used the Note capability extensively from 2012, almost stopped taking my laptop on my numerous business trips.

The S Note & S Pen were real head turners. And the huge screen, a boon for long haul flights, and ultra long layover in airports.

The Tab S3 seems a worthy successor for the Note 10.1. Honestly i havent had a battery issue till now. Touchwood.

And I am no longer a tinkerer, business user. The Tab S3 fits the bill perfectly. There is this problem of glass back, but use a Supcase Beetle case

and problem is solved.

My only gripe wid Samsung:

1. The updates for tablets are very slow and less, even their so called flagship 1z.

2. They goofed up the S Notes/Samsung Notes,, badly!!

Wish they make up their mind quickly and decide which 1 and port all functions into that 1!

As of last month people were still waiting for the patch for Blueborne. Way to go, Samsung - even Windows got updated somewhere in early September! Glad I returned mine while I could.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] aspexil:
The fix was in the Sept 2017 patch and I know for a fact my S3 got that a long, long time ago. It just got updated to the Jan 2018 patch last month.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] NitroSS:
I just bought a verizon galaxy tab s3 to replace my Google pixel c. I play mobile games on my tablet more than working. I bought my pixel c because it has the nvidia tegra x1 chip. Plus has a large display with great pixel count. But, I later thought the tab s3 might be better because I wouldn't have to wifi to it to use it online. Plus all the extra bells and whistles. Some reviews on tegra x1 vs snapdragon sounded like they are very close. So after a year with the pixel c. I bought the tab s3 today. I'm so disappointed with the display on the tab s3. My pixel c has way better image quality in gaming than the tab s3. Plus the CPU runs much cooler on the pixel c. The pixel c will run about 90F to 92F max. This tab s3 is hitting 125F to 140F running the same games as the pixel c. I'm a Samsung fan too. I've had the note series of phones since the note 2 or 3. Even the S series phones. I'm just in disbelief how something much newer, can be such a step in the wrong direction.

Pixel c is a tablet ...doh
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sam Sung:
"doh"? Have you given thought to the possibility that your flippancy might deter those who might otherwise offer help? A little respect goes a long way.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] NitroSS:
I think you have mistaken what I have said here. Pixel C is a tablet. Tab S3 is a tablet. So my comparison between the two is very valid. I wasnt comparing phones to tablets. Just stating I do enjoy other samsung mobile devices. Your right a little respect goes a long way. Always practice what you preach.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Touchmetallic:
You may want to get your tab checked. It has, objectively, one of the best displays on the market.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cshuttle:
This. All of this. This is the post I would have written had you not already written it.

I presume somewhere in Samsung HQ there is a team that has competitors products in hand, and has side-by-side compares with other options in the marketplace. I would also imagine there was a focus group who was asked how they feel about the S3, and specifically how they would compare it to the iPad.

I'd like to have been there for those demos and meet the executive that signed off on the feedback saying "Yup, this is good. Ship it!"

It's probably the same executive that said that the Thinkpad no longer needed buttons on the trackpad.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] d210:
The truth is nobody except Apple cares about tablets. The flagship tablet from the flagship Android manufacturer has the inside of a PHONE from 2016. Well, to be precise the SOC mainly as the camera is much worse. If the manufacturers don't care about tablets because the market is shrinking of course it will shrink even more.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ozark_8125:
I agree with you - I actually just bought the basic 32gb ipad from sam's for $300. It goes for days between recharges and is much snappier than my note 10 (I know that's way older than the tab3)... but I still am eating crow for buying an ipad. ouch. At least for the base 2018 model, it's pretty amazing bang for the buck, but the same old complaints about all the bloody ads and no titanium backup etc etc. I'm getting pretty frustrated with google these days, dividing themselves and competing against itself (hello hangouts-allo-duo-voice-messages-hangouts again etc etc). I'm thinking the tablet is done when/if anyone else jumps on the 2-in-1 factor with chromebooks and they unify tablets/chromebooks. However.. google doesn't have the best track record, and I'm pretty sure they're going to implode themselves on that one too. My guess is they have an organization full of dreamers and not doers, so they have lots of ideas but not the right people implementing them or asking them if they should. oops... sorry for the ot rant.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Faded47:
Dude...

First. Sounds like one, you didnt turn off the CPU Limiter on the s3. There is lag when u first unbox the tablet, until you turn that off....

Second, turn on Dolby Atmos and speakers sound quite better.

Third, battery life w.e. that depends what you do, sounds like you love the brightness maxed.

Tablets dont make you sweat. Most ppl use at least a folio case anyways...

Apple is evil, galaxy destroys ipad. Obviously apple is better for people that aren't so tech savvy though.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Orbital_Logic:
CPU limiter? Wheres that?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sam Sung:
Settings\Device Maintenance\Battery\power saving mode.

If power saving mode is on Mid or max, cpu limiter is turned on.

You can customize mid or max, including turning cpu limiter off.

If you are still on Nougat and setting is set to show as Standard: Settings\Battery\power saving mode
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] rionline:
I had fun reading this thread.

I think every s3 user wants to legitimate the decisions they made. But...if you try the ipp10.5 for some days, you will know what zero lag and awesome battery life really means.

I had both devices and kept the ipad allthough i hate the apple software cage...

Stop crying, you little půssy.Tab S3 is a fantastic tablet.PERIOD.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] d210:
Fantastic in which way? Barely 2 years old is struggling to get the previous version of the OS and won't get the current one? And the S7 SoC is showing its age. Not only iPads 5 years older are doing better but even the Surface Pro 1 (2012) will still run the latest W10 feature update (it came with Win8, not even 8.1) and even drive a 4k monitor.

Like George Carlin would say "the planet is fine, the people are fscked". You're really much better off software-wise with any random Chinese tablet (there was actually one with the same screen as the S5e but for half the price). There might be some market for low-end tablets where people don't have high expectations but you don't get to sell devices at premium prices and just not care about customers. People catch up after a while.

Which busy box are you using? There are several in the Play Store.

when I play a ringtone through phone application (Setting->Personal->Phone)

it's really loud (EQ on and SRS WOW HD on).

Try to quiet her amd she screams

One more funny thing about ATOM EXEC LIFE speakers

While EQ on and SRS WOW HD on you will hear somewhat loud (not really) volume, but try to block any one speaker (left or right) and see how she starts screaming (very loud volume)

Isnt this a funny thing?

hello

i'm looking to buy A replacement screen + digitizer for Huawei P9 (gold) from the Internet but not quite sure which site is most trusted for that and i'm wondering if Ifixit's parts are any good ?
[Desire 820 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tear♪:
Hello everyone

I bought this phone used for an attractive price, the seller said that the touchscreen became unresponsive "after their son installed an update"; what happens exactly is that every second touch or so is ignored. When I begin dragging and it doesn't get ignored the drag never gets interrupted as long as I hold the finger down, so it's not the touchscreen connection dropping at random. I unlocked the bootloader and put a matching Lollipop RUU on it, then updated to latest MM through OTA, installed TWRP and SuperSU - the touchscreen problem never disappeared, not even in recovery. After that I got the digitizer completely replaced... And the new one does the exact same thing.

This is probably about the same problem: https://xdaforums.com/desire-820/help/htc-desire-820-touch-issue-t3398027

There seem to be many others all around the internet with the same thing happening to them, often after an update...

Does anyone have any clues? I tried everything I could think of and now I'm at a complete loss.

EDIT: After taking the phone apart and putting it together one more time, the issue is mysteriously gone. I'll keep this here in case anyone else gets the same problem.

Hi guys,

I recently bought an unlocked version of S7 Edge on amazon for use of Sprint's free year service. Everything works fine except that text messages won't work when airplane mode and wifi are both on, despite that I can make calls thanks to wifi calling. I read on Sprint support page that text messages over wifi is supported. https://www.sprint.com/en/support/solutions/services/faqs-about-wi-fi-calling.html

anyone here has same issue? any help wud be appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] kdecoteau1:
Yeah I had sprint on my T-Mobile S7 Edge running the U firmware. It works good on WiFi, sprint have plenty upgrade for their network, service sucks ass. Best service for the unlock G935 or G930 is T-Mobile, fully working Voice over LTE and WiFi calling especially when you flash the T-Mobile S7 Edge CP or modem. I got up to 115 mbps LTE+, only thing missing is video calling. Who needs it when you have whatsapp.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] biopig:
I went to Sprint only because they now offer one year free service LOL I'm in San Francisco bay area where the coverage map of Sprint shows they have good signal here however I'm not lucky enough to be in that "good coverage" in most area I go, as the signal bar on my S7 edge shows only 2 dots, which sometimes even jump to 3G! So wifi calling is mostly what I need when im indoor. I tried TMO too, I like that they provide wifi calling and one hour inflight wifi even on the cheapest Pay As You Go prepaid plan. they have been improving their coverage these years but still there's some area with no coverage when I'm on the interstate trip.

I did some research about this text messaging over Sprint wifi calling , but not sure whether it is an issue of Sprint network policy or a software glitch of unlocked S7 edge.
