Where did you buy it?

@Stressed1Heavy, @ColEll60 Unfortunately I just found out that the "Unlock" feature is not available. Not sure if it is a bug or intentional but it apparently went away at the end of last year There is an option to Lock the tablet. If the Tab is already locked it will tell you that but then you can look it again. This lock will provide you with a one time pass code that you can use to unlock the device. There are mixed reports as to whether or not this only brings you back to where you were, or whether it unlocks the device.. 50/50 split on responses. Also note that if you're sure that you have the correct PIN, waiting more than 24 hours to try it again has been successful for some. Good Luck

If your tab is registered on Samsung.com, log into findmymobile.samsung.com and unlock it from there.

I believe that the A14/One UI update for the 2022 S6 Lite began rolling out in January of 24 and it should get A15 when it is released.

The fact that you had another pen that was working totally escaped me in my thought process. So sine hanging the nib didn't work it is a bad pen unfortunately. How does it charge? maybe if you let it discharge fully you can use it without BT and see if that works.... just a thought.

bill-e · ‎03-22-2024

Difficult to guess what's wrong when you have a used tablet and a used S-Pen. Often the symptom you describe is rectified by replacing the nib. Since that didn't work there's a chance the pen is bad. I would boot the Tab into the Safe Mode and see if that has any effect otherwise since you really don't know the history of either the Tab or the pen, you might need to send it in for service. You could also take the tablet and ppen to a Best Buy or someplace that sells Samsung stuff (phone carrier) and talk them into letting you use your pen on their device and use their pen on your device to try to isolate the problem.

If you decide to try Message+ you will need to first install it and make it the default message app on your phone and from there you can install and connect it on your Tab. One it is installed you can either continue to use Message+ on both devices or make either Samsung or Google your default on your phone. I like Message+ but don't use it on my phone because I try to use what I'm likely to see more questions about here, which is Samsung Messages, but I did use Message+ for years earlier in a past life. Especially if you have contacts on Verizon because you don't have the file size limitation like SMS... it's more like iMessage.... that and you don't need a phone near you, or even on for the Tab to work

bill-e · ‎03-22-2024

I use Samsung Messages on my phone and Message+ on my Tablet. When used like this they don't sync perfectly but Message + can be used anywhere the tablet has internet, no phone needed.

Contact Amazon Kindle and put in a support ticket.

bill-e · ‎03-18-2024

Turn on Multi Control in the setting of both devices and follow the setup instructions. You should be able to use the keyboard/mouse/trackpad connected to the Galaxy Book and drag and drop between the two. I do this with my Tab S8U and Fold 5.

When you a Factory Reset did you restore your backup? Try booting to Safe Mode and see if the issue presists.

bill-e · ‎03-18-2024

Try booting to Safe Mode and see if it still occurs. If it does then Reproduce the issue and then open the Samsung Members app, click on Support (Lower right)->Feedback->Send Error Report, Remember to check on "Send System Data Log"

bill-e · ‎03-18-2024

Reproduce the issue and then open the Samsung Members app, click on Support (Lower right)->Feedback->Send Error Report, Remember to check on "Send System Data Log"

bill-e · ‎03-17-2024

As far as I know there is no other settings other than the IHRN toggle in the Samsung Health Monitor app and I can't speak to whether or not the Watch 6 is working since I don't have Afib. Best thing to try is to reproduce the issue and then open the Samsung Members app, click on Support (Lower right)->Feedback->Send Error Report, Remember to check on "Send System Data Log"

bill-e · ‎03-17-2024

As you probably know there is a difference between diagnosed afib and palpitations, the latter although feeling like you have some kind of afib is not. I did turn off my HRM for a few hours and I did see that the IHRN was a checking every 10 minutes so I do believe that the watch 6 has IHRN While I ocassionally have palpitations and actually checked myself in because of them a few years ago, the results of 5 hours of testing was that it was normal palpitations caused by too much caffeine 😉

bill-e · ‎03-17-2024

@LongHiker Is this not automatic? I snapped this a few days ago for another post and today it says that the last time it checked is today, Mar 17th. IHRN is not the same as taking an EKG. I haven't manually check my EKG in many, many months. I don't know how often it checks or if there is a setting for that. Samsung says it's available on USA WearOS 4 watches

I'm not sure how you resized the icons before but the only adjustment that affects the Taskbar icons and Home screen icons is Screen Zoom. I'm actually not aware of anyway other than Screen Zoom even before OneUI 6.

Curious as to what you base this speculation on as this would apply to phones as well. Being that AI is likely moving to a pay subscription feature, it is inevitable that there will be at least two baselines, one with and one without. In today's scalable, modular and loosely coupled software development environments it's difficult to believe that this would be an issue.

Some things to try, check performance between each suggestion: 1. Make sure all of your apps are updated after the One UI update. 2. Press and Hold Power and Vol Down until the tablet reboots 3. Clear the System Cache (Wipe cache partition) Instructions at the bottom of this post. 4.Boot to Safe Mode. If performance returns then it is one or more of your added apps causing it. Turn off the device * Connect to a computer via USB Press and hold Volume Up + Power buttons simultaneously till the device logo appears When it logo appears, release Power button but hold the others few more seconds Release all the buttons when Recovery Mode screen appears You can use the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons to scroll up or down, and the Power button to select Using the Vol Down rocker, select Wipe Cache Partition Press the Power button to select Use the Vol Down button to select Repair Apps Use the power button to select Use the Vol Down button to select Restart Use the power button to select * Some devices need to be connected to a computer in order to enter the Recovery Mode.

To rotate Facebook to landscape try Settings->Advanced Features->Labs->Landscape view for Portrait apps->Facebook->Full Screen=ON

bill-e · ‎03-13-2024

Are they going to replace it? As far as I know there's no way to get around it. My suggestion is that when you get the new one, create a separate Google account to be used to set up the tablet and do backups etc. Set your email address as the security backup email on the new Google account. Then even if the kids change and forget it, you'll be able to set up a new password.

bill-e · ‎03-13-2024

Which orientation are you trying to use Facebook in?

bill-e · ‎03-12-2024

Check Galaxy Store for Good Lock and Home Up. That app adds more options.

bill-e · ‎03-12-2024

Press and hold the Power and Vol Down buttons as long as it takes to reboot. can be up to a minute.

Most people add background music when editing the video and the built-in Gallery video editor has the ability to add background music. So you can use your phone or tablet to take the video and then edit it to your liking and add the background audio. If you were playing the background music while you were shooting the video you would be unable to edit the video without interrupting the audio.
