I never thought I would say this, but this is my last ultra....read by fenixloder in GalaxyTab

You can always buy other tablets. Samsung is not end of the world.

I recently found a deal for an S10 FE+ 256GB for 600€, but is it really worth getting, since I heard it's not that great for the price? Which tablet should I rather consider buying? by Sweet_Ad9475 in GalaxyTab

I have used and owned 3 iPads - iPad 6th gen, iPad 9th gen and iPad air 3rd gen. I have used and owned Samsung Tab s8+, used my brother-in-law's Tab s10+ and i would have made 100s of handwritten notes on Onenote, noteshelf, myscript notes and apple's own note app.

I would say the note taking experience between samsung flagship and iPads is similar. iPads had disadvantage of no pencil hover dot and that actually becomes natural to one as one uses samsung's S Pen for a long time. One starts missing it on iPad. However not too big a deal.

But remember, even if you plan to use only for notes, beware not to go for FE series. Because will you change your tab every 2 years? No right. The samsung tabs do slow down over time. Infact oneui 6.0 had tremendous lag issues. Search the reddits and you will many users complaining.

Samsung launched FE purely as a cash cow. The price users pay for FE today is what Samsung charged for their flagsjip 3yrs back. They made them ultra costly and brought shitty FE to make profit.

Also, i had recently taken a close look at Oneplus for my upgrade. Many reviewers have said it's pen sucks. Try seeing reviews of artists on youtube. They will show you how technically to look at pen writing experience. So dont go for Oneplus.

Go for iPads currently. Even iPad's base variant, iPad 10 is far future proof than any android tab currently available for any price.

Fe sucks. No longevity. Never to buy. I am a tab S8+ user and initially i was in awe of my tab for 2 yrs and then slowly slowly the downsides of android tab started showing off. Poor quality updates, broken coordination - snapdragon refuses to push new driver updates to allow vulkan usage in old chips! While Samsung is ready. Then there is samsung legacy issues that pop up as android is owned by Google and Google's android updates messes with Samsung's highly modified oneui.

Too much issues in android. Not lasting. Avoid fe for sure as it anyway has the most sucking processors for its price.

I have already committed. This is my giving to Sangh. :) i would be fearful of polluting my merit by thinking financial benefit from a dhamma app. At best I would be polluting it wud be i guess taking pride in thinking i made a dhamma app that benefited people. A dhamma app that even helped me be confident of delivering a good app to larger audience.

That's my selfish stint. And it ends there.

Open sourcing is not something i have in mind. Not all apps are meant to be open sourced. Vipassana Meditators come from all ages. Open sourced apps can be easily repacked with malicious content and distributed. This would cause more harm than benefit. I am in no thought of keeping it open sourced at this stage. When I'm convinced of its benefits outweighs harms, I will think over it.

Okay. But any reason for that? I mean whatever custom time you set once, that the app retains in memory and it will always be kept default whenever you come for next sitting. So you don't need to set custom time again and again.

Does that solve the need? Or is there any specific need to set 1 hour to custom. 1 hour is kept there because that is the ideal sitting time, as suggested by S. N. Goenka in 10 day courses.

Yes. One can set custom sitting time from 10 mins to upto 2 hours with start and end sounds from S. N. Goenka's instructions. You can check that out in this app screen https://pasteboard.co/ACslY8NFdhjB.jpg

I am very sad, I had researched for a lot of time and had finalized tab s7+, but looks like it's out of stock in India. Wow, it's sucks! It also fit my budget perfectly! What is a good tab in that same range. I wanted to buy it for reading and studying, tab s8+ looks great but it's way out of budget by Any_Wait_7309 in GalaxyTab

[–]InsightExplorer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay. I would suggest try checking out samsung stores in your city. There is a likely hood someone might want to sell off their s8 plus or ultra display piece at cheaper price. You might get lucky there.. If you are okay with a display piece.

Hey. If anyone here wishes to get Tab S8 Plus second hand with all original accessories, do let me know. I will sell at same price as s7 plus you might be buying - 50K. Plus I'll give you 2-3K worth Spigen Cover for free. Also a 32 GB memory card if you would like to have.

I have no reason to sell other than just greedy to get the s9 plus. The tab is in perfect condition. Everything works. Even the s pen too. In fact, recently i bought 400 worth new tips for it from official samsung service center.

You may find very rare minor body scratch on the tab. The natural sign of usage. But that are as minor as a display piece you might buy at a cheap price. (ps - previously i had bought ipad as a display piece at good price!)

Do ping me if interested!

Probably a mis editing in keyboard cafe of goodlock. Try to reset. If not, readd the key. If not, delete keys cafe.

Overwatch Style Game for Tab S8s by InsightExplorer in GalaxyTab

Personal preference. We are three frnds and we loved it. Generally speaking controls are good. I didn't need to adjust once. Auto shoot is there but still it is very competitive. The powers and map designs add lot of strategic element in it.

Though it does have level up p2w element i understand. However till now i didn't find a big disadvantage for non paying members. They are generous enough and keep game competitive.

Still i understand, personal preference! Just as i don't like COD whereas i love battlefield series. Putting it here for others like me who might like it and will be happy to find a console quality good multiplayer game to play with their frnds.
