My new tablet

Post Published:


I’m using my  new Samsung Galaxy S3 9.7″ tablet to post this.

Yes, I’m using the onscreen keyboard. (I did not buy the keyboard cover.) It’s  not so bad. Nicer than using my phone. Of course it’d  be much more functional to use the WordPress app for Android instead, which I’ll do in the future.

I really like this tablet. Also the “Samsung Internet” app, I like it, but being purely invested in Chrome is painful.

On pc, the extension to sync bookmarks isn’t working for me yet, but that’s only part of it. Android chrome works ok enough, supplying me with all my passwords and site knowledge, so that is what is mostly crippling me.

I tried Flow with my Galaxy S6 Edge+ today. I turned it off for now, not so useful as I don’t  let any apps notify me on my phone. (It really annoys me how quickly the battery goes down on my phone while doing nothing at all.) I also prefer to Not have to unlock my phone with security. So there that is.

Hot Spot is easy enough to use when ever I might want to. I’m home most of the time, after all.

The Magnetic Folio Cover is good. It’s not the most secure cover, but it’s darn useful, I can clip the S pen to the book fold easily. The stand functionality is quick and sturdy for most things, but suffers failure when sitting with the tablet in one’s  lap, for instance, and that means a naked tablet… so learning how it works best is key to a long relationship [with this tablet.]

I used to have my Sony Xperia Z3 compact tablet on it’s  dock beside my bed, I loved that. Now I have a non-wireless tablet for charging. I’m trying to figure out how to get a nice relationship to my Acer Switch Alpha 12 (Win 10) and charging, USB-C PD isn’t entirely mainstream yet. I’ve been charging my laptop with it’s power cord, and really want to get something portable that’ll work with it and my S3 Tablet. A Samsung battery that I have doesn’t  work with my laptop, no surprise.

Also no Theme for Samsung tablets, my tablet is oh so jealous of my phone. I’m not a fan of Samsung colored icons…
