Hi,
I have just bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 LTE. It has Lollipop but I can't add users because the face icon in the notification tray and the "add users" option are missing from my device. My question is how can I add users to my device?
Thanks in advance
Samsung has disabled the multi user feature of android on our device. However, if you're rooted there seems to be a way to reactivate it. Look for a guide in this forum in some of the threads with multi user in the title.
E.g. here.
Desired outcome: I want to be able to sit in meetings, taking notes on my phone, but then access them on my PC by whatever means possible.
Is there a way to sync the notes taken on my device with Samsung Notes with any windows app?
I have tried the S Note app in the windows app store. Doesn't work. And sucks big time even if it did.
OneNote maybe? Evernote? Or maybe Samsung has a surprise and it syncs with its own Samsung Notes windows app (if it existed).
S Note could sync to Evernote. I really miss that.
OneNote (the Android app) syncs fine (to OneNote, the desktop app), but I don't see a way to go straight to creating a new note in it from the S Pen shortcut menu. You can create a badge that does it; it floats on your display (similar to the S Pen floating icon), but it doesn't seem to integrate into the S Pen workflow.

S Note (NOT Samsung Note) still does it

So is there any way to get my current Samsung Notes over to SNote (or even Onenote)?
I can switch over but my old notes are still in Samsung Notes
I got to this old thread looking for something similar.
There is a windows 10 Samsung Notes APP.
What does not work for me is the freaking AUTOMATIC sync... i have to manually go into the options menu and hit sync both on the phone and on PC... kinda bad.
I can't install the app on my surface pro, says not compatible!
I primarily use Onenote on the desktop, but Samsung notes is a better app on the note 8.
If there are issues with finding a Windows app then try using Samsung DEX it turns your phone into a desktop.
That's like using a digger to crack a nut.
I think I'm just going to review my Workflow, treat the phone as more of a note pad and review my notes onto the desktop.

Me too.
Anyone knows a workaround to install Samsung Notes on a Surface Pro?
I wish to get "samsung notes" to work on my surface pro also
I have Samsung notes on my Note 8 and the Samsung Notes Windows 10 app on my Samsung Notebook 9 Pro. Works perfect and notes are synchronized back and forth.
Should work the same on Surface Pro.
Unfortunately, here's what I get on my HP desktop (Win 10 x64 latest build):
"This app is not compatible with this device."

Nope, Samsung Notes is not compatible with the Surface line for whatever reason.
Also not compatible with Lenovo X1 Carbon Yoga

I checked again Friday and it would install on my Surface Pro 4. The issue was it wouldn't sync with the SNote app on my Note 8.
I installed the SNote app on my Surface Pro 4 and also on my Note 8 and managed to get a first sync. It really is crap and I'm sticking with OneNote even though you can't use quick notes just by taking the pen out. The sync seems to take so long and sometimes there is a syn option in the Windows 10 menu and sometimes pressing the button asks if you want to deleted the account. I changed a note on my Surface and then opened the same note on my Note and no changes were made.

I think you're confusing 'S Note' and 'Samsung Notes'. They're two completely different apps.
Samsung Notes seems to be only compatible with S-Pen devices. So that's only Samsung devices then, I guess.
S Note is a different story and works on all PCs, but it's different from Samsung Notes and they don't share the same database, unfortunately.

Nope, look in the app store on either Android or Windows and you will find S Note that can install on any Android. Samsung Notes is what comes stock on all Samsung devices.

Sorry, I think you missed my main point. First, I don't know if Samsung Notes comes preinstalled on all Samsung devices. But Samsung Notes doesn't install on devices without S-Pen, which includes Microsoft's Surface Books. S Note is the old app, that is slowly being replaced by Samsung Notes. S Note does install on probably all devices, and doesn't require the S-Pen.
And this is the unfortunate part: you can't share data from Samsung Notes to PC, if you don't have a PC that is able to run Samsung Notes. Furthermore, Samsung Notes doesn't sync to Evernote as well. And that is annoying, because Samsung Notes is (among other things) the default app for "Screen Off Memo" and in general will become the default app for everything.
So: people would prefer to continue using S Note, but they're pushed towards Samsung Notes, which doesn't meet their needs.
Galaxy A30 ships with OneUI over Android Pie. In the list of features for OneUI is the ability to edit screenshots and take extended screenshots on the fly. This feature does work on other phones on OneUI like the galaxy S10, but I found that the A30 does not have this feature in the settings. The Samsung website says that the feature is not available on this phone. So I wanted to know if the is a way to enable/add this feature (preferably without rooting). I tried installing different versions of the Smart Capture apk (the app responsible for these features) but it didn't work. Please help ??

Any way to view notes from galaxy note 9 on galaxy watch? I use my note to write down a bunch of skus of soils and mulch and when I'm driving the forklift I'd like to just look at my watch instead of having to constantly get my phone out of my pocket to see what I need to grab. Thanks in advanced
I have a GW3, an iPhone 11 Pro and a Tab S6. I really want to be able to use the advanced health features of the GW3 in Health Monitor app but I know that I can't get it on my iPhone so I was thinking that there might be a way to get it onto my Tab S6 and connect my GW3 to it. Is this possible? Any help here is great because there's no use for the GW3 without access to these key features. Thanks.

I can say that using a Samsung Note 9 I was easily able to add Samsung health monitor app and ECG and BP on the GW3 in a region that does not yet allow these features using Samsung Health Monitor Version 1..1.0.175.Caravana (Thanks Caravana for the Mod) see the thread on this to "download the apps Enable ECG(BP Featur) On Non-Samsung Phones for Galaxy Watch 3, Active 2" just had to download the two apps and load them on my note 9 and GW3 and they work perfectly , without any changing CSC or other changes. No idea if this will work with the Tab S6 or not but assuming that it is Samsung worth a try.
The watch is asking me now to upgrade the samsung health app and I am avoiding this in case the upgrade tries to block this method
Hope that helps
Tablet clarification...
Would that work on the Samsung Tab S6 tablet? I know that there are ways to do this on non-Samsung phones and on Samsung phones but can I make that work on one of their tablets?
Thanks.

why don't you just try if you have the watch and tablet? Seems like an easy solution
The Galaxy Tab S5e does not recognize the Galaxy Watch on Wear, nor does it install the plug-in. I believe that the S6 suffers the same restriction. []s
I have tried connecting it the normal way through the Wear app but it doesn't recognize it. I was wondering if there was a way to sideload it or an alternate way?
