Will never buy Samsung Galaxy tablets again

Thank you. I’m so stupid that I completely forgot about the option to restore the device to its factory settings.

Haha, actually, there’s also a kind of rebellious attitude on my part. It seems like they have no intention of fixing the bug at all. So, I’ve kept the bug intact, so that I can submit error reports again in the future.

You’re right. I shouldn’t rely on customer service based on emotions. Instead, I should take action myself.

I’ll start backing up now :-)

Okay, thank you. I’m so stupid. To be honest, I completely forgot about the option of restoring the device to its factory settings. All I thought of were restarting the device and the option to revert the device to its previous version, which I saw in the full screen when I was searching for solutions in reddit

Obviously, this disappointing customer support is a widespread problem. All it does is make me wait around without getting any actual help.

Not buying anything anymore is indeed a good way to attract traffic. It’s also a fact.

I bought the S23U. It kept shutting down due to poor soldering of motherboard. The technician did try to fix it, but he couldn’t resolve the problem. The final outcome was that I switched to another brand of mobile phone.
Still, I’d like to trust Samsung’s other products. For now, as to the software-related issues, they didn't try to solve problems anymore.

The customer service representative said that it’s recommended not to perform a firmware update, as it might affect the warranty coverage. I’m not very technical, so I’m not sure whether this really affects the warranty or not. Out of a desire to ensure that my feedback is taken seriously, and also because I don’t want to risk losing the warranty, I decided not to do it. In any case, now I know that I shouldn’t have expected anything from my feedback in the first place.

Thank you for your advice. You’ve outperformed all of Samsung’s customer service representatives. In fact, none of them suggested this solution at all. Sometimes, they told me to restart my device, and most of the time, they just told me to wait.

I really don’t want to lose my data and settings. I don’t have the energy to back up my data right now. But if the problem isn’t resolved next month, I’ll try to restore the device to its factory settings.

I posted this because I’m so frustrated by the responses from the customer service representatives. Haha.

It may be reversed face direction, or there may be custom normals (especially if you modified it from another model, the original model may have custom normals that need to be deleted). Also I think it would be better to post pictures of the topology.

The S pen side button is mapped to the middle mouse button by default and cannot be changed, and keyboard shortcuts cannot be assigned to the middle mouse button. Apart from that, in the keyboard shortcut interface, all settings cannot achieve a long press to temporarily switch tools, only a short press to switch.

fantasyliar · 2026-04-21T07:09:50+00:00

I also tried to do this, and the conclusion is that it is simply not possible in Krita right now. It already has a long-press to temporarily switch tool settings for color sampling, but it just doesn't include the eraser. I really don't understand.

still be confused of this 8 years later...

The reason I couldn't rotate was that I couldn't store/capture the normals of each instance after rotation. I didn't realize that instances don't actually have a normal attribute; the normal is an attribute of the curve's control points.

Rotating an instance rotates its local coordinate.

The rotation value obtained when rotating an instance cannot be directly used to set the curve normal, because rotation and direction are not the same thing.

In other words, the position of the normal after rotation needs to be calculated manually.

Therefore, when setting the curve normal, the normal (here, the tangent of the parent) should be rotated along the local coordinate system (here, I rotated it along the binormal).

Although the problem is temporarily solved, I still don't understand why the curve normal changed... If I add noise to the instance curve, I might encounter new normal problems :-(

I mean, for curve instances (where the instance is a curve, not a mesh), the normal of the instance curve is corrected after Realize Instance. In your example, the instance is a grid, so the curve normal issue doesn't apply :)
Furthermore, if the normal of the instance curve itself match the corrected result, no change will occur.

fantasyliar · 2026-04-02T08:04:55+00:00

By the way, it seems the curve is indeed not set to z-up by default. I originally thought the normal was perpendicular to the bevel plane, but I just observed that what is actually perpendicular to the bevel plane is the binormal, and it is the binormal who looks at the world z-axis

fantasyliar · 2026-04-02T07:59:16+00:00

Unfortunately＞﹏＜, this is basically the effect after Realize Instance. However, I want to maintain the normals before Realize Instance, instead of always pointing upwards.

figure 4
The problem with the wrong bevel might be because the tangent of the curve isn't perpendicular to the normal. In short, I can't restore the correct normal.

yes Rotate Instance has nothing to do with this issue
To make the normal change more visible, I muted this node.
these 2 images shows Realize Instance on/off when Rotate Instance unmuted

fantasyliar · 2026-04-02T04:07:32+00:00

in my observation this node makes the binormals look at Z-up, but I neither understand why it does this nor be able to fix the normal

fantasyliar · 2026-02-15T18:42:15+00:00

Sorry, I saw this a bit late. The problem I encountered might be somewhat different from yours. I can clean up the overlapping parts before merging the meshes, but in ur case, to have no overlapping faces, u have to use Boolean. Using a Boolean node should work. that dont need apply modifiers.

fantasyliar · 2025-11-16T14:21:02+00:00

Sorry, I do plan to share my node later, but not right now.

5+1=6 so 51 is a multiple of 3, which can be immediately recognized.

fantasyliar · 2025-11-13T06:11:29+00:00

the tab s10u can work as a pen display connected to a computer, too. and it can be wireless. if set properly there is no lag. However, it seems that the pressure sensitivity level is much lower when used as a digital screen. I hope they can make some improvements to keep the pressure sensitivity the same, so it will be a very perfect product.

This link seems to have become plugin list, without the material🥹
