Best way to transfer photos from Note 10+ to Tab S6 - Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers

I just am looking for the best way to transfer photos from my Note 10+ phone to my Tab S6 tablet as I take them each day. Suggestions welcome.

Assuming your two devices are associated with the same user account and email address, just mail them to yourself.

Easiest way would be to back them up to a cloud service (dropbox, OneDrive. Google Photos, etc.). Then they are accessible from both devices.
Samsung Flow can send photos from one device to the other, but I don't think you can automatically send over new photos. You would have to manually do it.

simply sign into google photos on both, and turn on sync.

I strongly agree.
Even consider paying for 2TB of space when shooting lots of 4K video like I do.
Works perfectly fine, syncs to my PC and tablets.

Hi, i work in mobile and i used the built in app samsung smart switch, in your note 10 box you have a dongle/adaptor to connect both phones, looke up a video tutorial on youtube its easy, fast and you can select what to transfer. Good luck

Files by Google is like airdrop for Android. Try it out.

Try syncthing fork in the Google play store. Does file sync over local network. Only caveat is that the files need to be on local storage and not sd card for it to work properly due to file permissions access restrictions since android pie.

All okay ideas for other posters, but best way is you select the pics you want to share! Then hit Wi-Fi direct you can’t mess with it’s so fast and you can send 100s pics in one go!

Best app to recover a stolen galaxy tab 10.1 with only wifi?

Hello, i am starting to become paranoid about going outside with my galaxy tab because i am afraid it might get stolen. I am looking for a good app to let me track any possible thieves like the ones ive seen many times for pc, that let you get the almost exact location where the lost item (phone, pc etc) is and automatically take pictures and screen captures.
The ome iwanted to try is Prey (because it a chilean software, hehe) but for android devices it only tracks the position, but nothing else, and i think it is kind of usseles as yiu dont get a 100% accurate position and it is usseles if the adress you get is a building with 100+ people living in it.
Also another issue with prey and othe simmilar software is the they only work on android cellphones where you have to send a text message to activate the tracking mode, but i cannot do that in a wifi inly galaxy tab.
So, do you guys have any recommendation for a nice software? I am lookin for so ething simple that runs in the background and doesnt disturb me. (and of course.... Free)
Thanks in advance
Samsung actually have features built into the gal tab 10.1 for this.
Go to samsungdive.com. If you are signed into your samsung account on your tab, then you can start using it straight away i think.
In terms of other software, androidlost has heaps of features for free. It doesn't rely on text messaging. The design is pretty terrible, but hey, its free.
Lookout has a product called plan b. It always you to install the app remotely and tell you where it's at. But needs an Internet connection.
I don't think its honeycomb compatible but its one to watch out for.

Another option is Norton mobile security for android. This one I have tried and it works on my Samsung galaxy tab.

I also have the Samsung configured on my tab. Yeah lots of overkill

Did you managed to get it working for Wifi version? It does not work for me.
thanks for all the info. I tried the samsung thing, but it didnt work .
Lookout seemed like a good alternative but it is not supported on tablets.....
I also gave a look at some of this applications (http://lifehacker.com/5832947/five-best-phone-recovery-tools) but they are all phone-related.
Guess we just have to wait a little more for some apps to be released for wifi-only devices............
I have used both androidlost and seekdroid on my galaxy tab 10.1
So there are apps that work on tablets
I like prey
http://preyproject.com/
Very cool, and it's free. It can take snapshots from the camera, use closest wifi spot to send ip address and info, you can sound an alarm or lock the device out. There are a lot of options. It allows 3 devices for the free version.
yeah, i also like prey, but it doesnt work with the wifi only tab as it requires and SMS to be sent to the device for activation

It does work. You first have to add your samsung account on the tab. under settings then accounts/sync, add account, then click samsung account. Its the only way samsung knows you actually have a samsung device. Btw it works pretty good. Best of all, its free,
Tab left on plane
Hi, so what would you recommend to find one left on plane, with sim card but in airplane mode, wait and see if someone gets through the security to see where it is or is there a way of forcing the tab to turn itself on?
thanks in advance

I tinkered with Cerebus on my Tab, seems to work just fine (wifi only). I've been using this on my Android phone. Can attach up to 5 devices.
https://market.android.com/details?...51bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5sc2Ryb2lkLmNlcmJlcnVzIl0.
As long as there is battery, you can track your device's location, log app activity, send a message/VERY audible alarm to the device, take a screenshot, take a picture with front or back camera, a few other options. Obviously, app needs to be loaded on the device BEFORE you lose it.
Works great!
great, i will check it immediately. Thanks!
i just checked it, it looks very good. Saddly its not free, but it is extremely cheap, so i think i will buy it once i get home. thanks again.
AndroidLost is a great app and works perfectly with GalaxyTab 10.1
register your device with your samsung account and use samsungdive.com
works great for sgs, sgs2 and sgt7500
I was using Prey on my laptop and all phones

DropBox or SugarSync?

Which one do you prefer. Right now I have a Dropbox pro account that I dropped but still has membership, and I have a recurring sugar sync account which I love. But I was just wondering which do you prefer?

I personally use dropbox, mainly because it was the first one I tried and was free, have never heard of or used sugarsync. I stand by the motto of don't fix what isn't broken and having 7gb on my dropbox I don't plan on going anywhere soon.

Dropbox for me, I only have 5GB, but that's pretty much all I need.
That's good, but I can't get referrals for the love of it.
Dropbox, but not because it's better than SugarSync. I have a ton of friends that use dropbox and with the recent 5 gigs they gave away I'm at 17 gigs of space.
That being said, I've heard great things about SugarSync so if you don't plan on sharing anything/folders with friends (Dropbox is, for the most part, the universal standard) I might give that a try too.

It may sound like something you absolutely hate doing, but spam the hell out of your friends and family. It won't cause them any harm and you'll GREATLY appreciate the extra storage space. It took me a long time to come to terms with it, but boy was it a great decision. I sent out an email explaining that I was helping friends coordinate a programming project and that by them signing up it helped us out a lot with school. Worked like a charm (though it was all true. lol).
What? no one signed up for Asus Web Storage when they got their prime?
I still use dropbox, but signed up for a Asus account thru my Prime and they give you 8 GB of storage instead of the 2 GB that anyone else gets.
Why not just use Tonido and use your own computer and as much space as you want? By using Tonido I don't have to worry about space anymore.
I use Dropbox and Dropsync to keep important docs local and in sync. That way I don't rely on wifi... Works great for me. Go check out their blog to see if they still have the recent beta going where each 500MB in photos and video you sync automatically gives an equal amount of storage up to 5GB.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
DB for sure. Google the 2.0.9 apk and it now has unlimited uploaded & there is a way yo get 500gb free instant & then 4.5gb free for uploading during the beta.
Plus the new version can sync photos & bids instantly when taken.
Ya I'm doing it, but I only received the initial 500mb then after upload automatically I got nothing. What the 2.09 APk I don't understand.
With 2.0.9 every 500mb you upload with their new upload feature will give you 500mb up to 5gb. Many of us all got the 5gb as I just made 500mb vids & uploaded them.
Yes I just did it too. It seems the google Adwords is a great way to do this too huh?
I've used Dropbox for a while and will continue to - I have several shared folders set up that are very useful. I did sign up for the 8gb from Asus and the 50gb promotion from Box. Those along with misc cloud storage that came with my laptop and printer (he'll, not to mention Google Docs and Music)...... I'm pretty well set I use them for different things and so easy I've not used at all yet.
just use vmware and set some virtual machines up, u'll get 16gb in no time(had an .edu email so it gave me double), so far i got 23.88gb from dropbox.
wouldve been more if i didnt miss that 1gb scavenger hunt thing
Sugarsync for me
I use Sugarsync and it works well. The main reason I picked it over Dropbox was the ability to select multiple separate directories to sync (vs just one Dropbox directory). You also can choose which directories to sync between which PCs (not all dirs have to be synced between all PCs). Very handy. However, Sugarsync has two large holes (that are supposed to be filled this year) - you can't sync a directory on a USB drive, and you have to sync with the cloud (vs getting data directly from a local PC).
Agree on Dropbox, tried them both and its better on android.
Dropsync is very nice for tablets/phones too. got on my prime and sgs2 for convenient sync with no hassles

NAS Server
You should check out a NAS Server. Set up your own cloud and stream your content wherever you are!
Synology DS212j is a pretty neat little machine!
I have used SugarSync for about 18 months. I am liking how they are agressively updating it and appear to be trying to gain traction in a very competitive market by improving the product. It works well for me on my TFP 201. I have the 100 gig storage plan.
Dropbox
Currently using Dropbox and loving it. I have the 50Gb account that is up to 54.5 with referrals, beta etc. This may change though when Google deploys Drive.
I've used both, and Sugarsync wins just for the ability to sync multiple independent folders. I know there are some workarounds in DB, but I don't want workarounds. I like the ability to just click on a folder and share it immediately, and still keep it where I want it. It's pretty easy to get above the given 5Gb too, with a little legwork. I got up to 6.5Gb in 15 minutes by jumping through their hoops. Also, the interface is pretty easy to work with. I had formerly used Windows Live Mesh, which was quick to sync, and can work peer to peer (still use it on my LAN because it's so quick, and no file limits via P2P). Unfortunately there are few mobile clients for Mesh. So Sugarsync wins for me.

[Q] A couple of questions for 920 users ?

Hello,
I'm fed up with my Nokia N-8. Works bad, is slow, freezes, has some hidden files somewhere taking all the phone memory, and generally pisses me off.
So now I'm hesitating between the Galaxy S4 and the Lumia.
I'm someone who needs :
- reliable phone in most situations. It would be unnaceptable to have no phone due to proffessional duties.
- A Citrix app (good), thethering on an Android tablet (even better) or both (awesomeness).
- Reasonable amounts of games for train strikes.
- Reasonable pictures taken (I heard the Lumia is amazing on this side)
- NO BLOODY NOKIA OVI SUITE. NO. NO. NO.
- A SIMPLE software to synch the phone music/pics/videos, and save the phone contacts. I'll be running windows 8 pro from tomorrow evening onwards.
- A VLC or equivalent application.
- A Dropbox App
- Microsoft Office documents read and write. Can you store Excel spreadsheets on this Skydrive thingy and read/modify it on the phone whenever you want ?
- And lastly a complete email client. I guess there's an Outlook on theese things, but could you please confirm ?
I know the GS4 will be better in terms of pure hardware, but I'm generally not a big Google fan, and I would like to avoid having work stuff on Google's Android. I guess if I take the Lumia I'll switch the Asus Transformer for a Surface 2 when it comes out. This said I was extremely pissed off with my whole Nokia N-8 experience, and try to be sure I'm not making the same mistake again...
Thanks a lot.
Kind regards,
A prospective
Wouldn't know about Citrix, Android tethering or VLC, but as to the rest, the answer is yes. I got my 920 as soon as AT&T posted them, and I love it.
No problem tethering an android tablet...or any tablet for that matter. Not sure on VLC

I'm using Windows Phone for years since in my opinion is the most stable and user friendly phone experience... In my smartphone telephony is still the most important thing, thats a reason why i left Android, it's not acceptable for my that my phone reboots and hangs on the pin screen which android did a lot
- A Citrix app (good), thethering on an Android tablet (even better) or both (awesomeness).
Wifi-Tethering is build in in Windows phone, don't know about a citrix app
- Reasonable amounts of games for train strikes.
There are enough games on Windows phone, sure there are more on iOS and Android, but now with native coding and xbox live every day more games are coming
- Reasonable pictures taken (I heard the Lumia is amazing on this side)
Windows Phone is the best an fastest picture taking experience you can get on a smartphone, every phone has a dedicated camera button which starts the camera super fast... and you can view your last shot in milliseconds.. which is taking ages on android... The quality of the pictures depends on your smartphone... if you want good pictures take Nokia or Samsung... but do not take a HTC for pictures ^^
- NO BLOODY NOKIA OVI SUITE. NO. NO. NO.
No ovi suite
- A SIMPLE software to synch the phone music/pics/videos, and save the phone contacts. I'll be running windows 8 pro from tomorrow evening onwards.
It's all done directly from the phone to your live account no need for a PC for pictures, calender and phone contacts...
If you want music or videos, just copy them from the explorer to your phone
- A VLC or equivalent application.
VLC is coming, right now you have xbox video... i play everything i throw at it
- A Dropbox App
I use Skydrive so i don't know abaout Dropbox
- Microsoft Office documents read and write. Can you store Excel spreadsheets on this Skydrive thingy and read/modify it on the phone whenever you want ?
Yes, Yes, Yes
- And lastly a complete email client. I guess there's an Outlook on theese things, but could you please confirm ?
Email is solid and built in, and you can even "zoom in" into your HTML mails unlike on android

Xbox video will not play MKV files. Or at least the encodes that much of the anime fansubs are done in.
Thank you for all your answers.

Thanks for your time.

I'm running outlook synced with work server. it runs well and updated all my contacts and appointments well. i can also update appointments and sync using my phone. only downside so far is pdf experience. Office files can be saved on phone and skydrive so you can work offline. I like also nokia map as it is offline as many times i am in china and don't have cell data only wifi. New update for skype allows notifications as well which was finally released. I been happy with phone only couple of hangs since november. i also dropped it from good height and only got couple minor dings on frame of phone.
Oh well.
I did my usual thing. Sigh. Say "f*** it". Ordered it.
I hope I'll like it

Catch notes is going bye bye

So catch is being discontinued.. I need a legit solid comparable application, keep sometimes doesn't save photos.
Any personal experiences with evernote or spring pad?
I mainly use it to save photos I find on fb or Internet.
Thanks!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
I am in a similar dilemma.
I don't like evernote, mainly because they are way too expensive (about 5$ a month is unreasonable in my opinion).
Evernote does not have a true offline option in the free version!
Here are the features that a good note app/service should have (catch notes had all these options):
Web interface and backup/synch (dropbox and web storage services do not count)
Offline editing and full access
Search everything (preferably as you type)
Categories/tags
Password options (preferred)
Reasonable export options is a must so you are not locked in to the app.
No monthly fees for above service (onetime fee only, or atleast a more reasonable month fee than 5$/month)
I looked briefly at the following apps/services and those are the issues I found which do not match my needs:
ColorNote: no web interface
MobisleNotes: web interface without search, no import/export option
Inkpad/notepad: no import/export option on web interface
Note Everything: no sync or export function
I figured I use catch regardless, and just use it for its internal storage options just sucks there aren't any real comparable services.

i have 3000+ notes and im looking at simplenote as a host, syncing with NValt on desktop, and there are a few android clients.
evernote is very reliable but too heavy. also i dont like that everything must have a title, and i you have to pay to store everything local. most of my notes are short and plaintext anyway.
however im having a lot of trouble importing them to simplenote. they have a tool but its super finicky and inconsistent. i think it will be easier to hack the notes into a client db, and then sync them up to simplenote. however this too is proving difficult because i want to keep the create and modify dates intact as well as the tags.
please let me know if anyone finds a soln.
in the meantime, id like to find the datafile on my phone. at the directory above i have hidden files turned on, but still see only media in ./media and one zero byte file in ./cache. where is the text data?
No luck yet

Last Updated: Apr 16, 2013 12:25PM PDT
We have made a decision to not allow for a Global Search based on security reasons. With the option to set a passcode on your notes, we feel that Global Search would navigate around this and violate the notes security.
For example: If you have a passcode set on your notes, yet we allowed for Global Search, any term you search for may return a result, thereby indicating that the searched for text is part of a note's content.

Im currently looking for a way around this as im trying to use dropbox (storage) and dropsync (to sync particular folders)
If this fails it appears ill have to learn how to create apps and create my own with the Catch API
Failing that decompiling and rebuilding it to my specs is prob the final method
lets hope it doesent come to that
As you can see I haven't been converted to the dark side of other apps yet
Me too. I'm still using catch but locally.

Did anyone actually get an email regarding this shutdown? I had a bunch of notes stored in AK notepad which are basically lost forever, and I don't have any emails from catch.com notifying me of the termination - I'm just finding out today.
Maybe they ended up in my spam :/

Tab S3 and galaxy s8 continuity

Hi, I was wondering if the two devices share any continuity between them. Such as, messages for example. Can I receive and send text messages with the tab s3 (number from my phone obviously) also can I pick up on web pages etc. Where I left off? I'm thinking whether the tab or a surface pro4 is better for me, the battery life on the surface pro 4 is sub-standard.
Thanks!
I have both the Tab S3 and a Surface Pro 3, and they are night and day different, mainly in the type of apps/applications that you run on them, so that should be your deciding factor. If I'm going to pick up a a tablet and sit down and do serious work, then it's the Surface. But if I'm looking for something that's in an "instant on" always ready mode, then it's the Tab S3. If you use Firefox, you can synchronize bookmarks and tabs across devices if you sign in the with the same account, but personally I do not do that.
Sent from my SM-T820 using Tapatalk
The text messages is what I would find more useful. Similar to how you can answer messages on an iPad/iPhone. I don't do serious work on these devices really. I don like the surface but wouldn't mind having the same eco system.
Thank you!
imessage on iOS is actually server based. Samsung has something called SideSync where you can link yor tablet or your PC to your phone for txts and other apps but its more of a remote control solution so it chews up battery and you cant leave it on all the time.
I would say between the two, the S3 is much better for entertainment purposes. Lighter weight, cheaper, better (and cheaper) drawing apps, longer batter life.
Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
Check if your carrier has an app option for texting. At&t does.
There used to be a chrome 2 phone extension...not sure what happened with it. Still,I believe you can share a link with yourself.
I have both the Tab S3 and a Galaxy S8+. There is a similar function like Apple's continuity but you have to use an app for that. Just download and install SideSync for both devices (You can also download and install it on Mac and Windows). Then both devices have to be connected to the same wifi. So if you are just at home, simply fire up SideSync on both devices. All your text messages will com to your Tab S3. You will get notified of calls to but can only answer through the S8 and not the Tab.
The downside to this is you have to manually start the app on both devices. Not a true continuity like iPhones and iPads.
For browsing, continuity already exists on Samsung's stock internet browser. Just make sure you are signed in to your Samsung account on both devices. Chrome browser also does continuity between devices. Also, there is a Chrome extension that will sync Chrome bookmarks to the Samsung internet browser.
Original Samsung keyboard case, Folio case and S Pen are on sale now on Best Buy. Its a good time to buy if your looking to get the Tab S3. But still being an Android device, there is no substitute for a full computer like the Surface Pro 4 that you are eyeing. I have a Samsung TabPro S 2-in-1 computer (similar to a Surface Pro) and I dont see my Tab 3 replacing it.
This is exactly what Samsung Flow is for, they even highlight it as a feature on the Tab S3 webpage:
I just installed Samsung Flow on my Note 5 and Tab S3 and I have to say... it's dumb. All it allows you to do is keep your phone unlocked, and read your notifications on your tab. You can enable the hotspot on your phone from your tab, and send content (images) back and forth (which I already do with cloud storage). Nothing about txt message. Uninstalling.

I have used Sidesync many times between my PC and my phone and it's great for that. For kicks, yesterday I installed it on my Tab S3 and tried to connect to my Note 5. It would see the phone but every time say "error connecting" so I never got it to work.
The important difference between Sidesync and what crapple has with imessage is that Sidesync is more of a remote control application like Team viewer, with the added bonus of getting the notifications on both devices. With imessage, there is actually a txt message app on both devices that effective work independently of each other since its server based.
For people in the US that use Verizon, we can install VerizonMessaging which will let you send and receive txt & calls from the S3. However, any outgoing txt you write on the tablet do not find their way back to your phone. So if have a conversation with someone on your s3, and then go back to your phone, you only will see the incoming tats from that person.

Try Pulse for SMS. It works on my essential and my tab S3. It is not free if you want sync and send SMS or MMS but it works very well. It even works on PC.
