My Samsung Tablet

My Samsung Tablet

Last time I updated it was in December 2013.

Last time I used it was in May 2024.

Touch screen is very smooth and l wish it keeps it like that for ever.

Google does not support Abiword hence I will never use this tablet for long pieces of writing. 

Certainly not books.

It is updated to Android 14.

My standard cellphone was updated to Android 13 and I am happy with it.

I expected it to be smooth after updating but it went into a fenzy mood trying to do many things (multitasking) at once.

Before updating had several pages with different application icons in different pages.

My regular browser is Firefox but I use several browsers. I wanted all my browsers in one page. I could not move application icons to what I desired or alternative location.

Moment I touch the icon it opens up the application and split the screen into 3.

This was annoying. 

With some fiddling I got the blogger app to the first page.

I went to the Setup and look at the option for display.

It had two options,

One standard icon display.

The other was the split active application display.

I choose standard and it did help to stabilize.

All these things are annoying to an old guy. But I am a fast leaner.

I used to keep my cellphone charged to 100%. 

Samsung advises to charge up to 85% for longer battery life. Battery life is a concern for me, simply because unlike the old ones one cannot replace the battery easily when it is dead. One had to break the rubber seal. My first Samsung cellphone had that problem.

I am a Nokia fan from the very beginning.
