Sketchbook Mobile is a nice one. Takes a little getting used to it though. I also like the Wacom Bamboo pad but for whatever reason it's now coming up as not compatible with the device.
more s-pen apps
Infinite Painter (S-note), Papyrus have proper S-pen support. Hope to see more good apps add support soon. I really like Papyrus, it is a very well designed notes app.
PhatPad and its companion WritePad are alternatives to Samsung keyboard and handwriting recognition, but far from great. The keyboard for Writepad is fuzzy, not up to par for the Note's hi-res screen. I used them on large phones & on tablets before I got the Note.
There are a few really good note apps, but so far they don't support the S-pen's pressure sensitivity, hoping they will soon: LectureNotes and Quill stand out in this category. For drawing & painting, also without pressure support try Sketchbook and Infinite Design.
@teandro: LectureNotes should actually support pressure sensitivity for all devices with S-pen running Android 4 or later, you can enabled it for all standard pencils in the app's input settings and individually for the custom pencils in the custom pencil settings.

AT&T Default Application selection

In the days leading up to the release of the Note 7, there were stories about Samsung finally doing away with the default app selector they used to replace the one from stock Android. It's annoying because once you select an app to open something, that becomes the default until you clear it. I was pretty excited about it.
On my AT&T Note 7, this is not the case. It behaves exactly like it did on the S7 and S6 series: Once you select an app to open something with, that becomes the default with no "just once" option. Can anyone comment on their phones from T-Mobile, Sprint, etc on whether or not they have this option? I'm wondering if it's an Exynos thing.

Edit: I'm an idiot who apparently is also illiterate. It says right in the article that you can change it yourself and how.
You might be an idiot, but this helped me! Thanks!

Dear M51 owners, could you please confirm that Link to Windows is supported with Apps feature ?

Microsoft recently updated Your Phone app to allow single apps connection to Windows for Samsung devices (beside Screen Mirroring). The official supported list includes almost all Galaxy A series devices and there is no mention of Galaxy M series, which would seem weird that Galaxy A51 and A71 are supported but M51 not.
If you can't test Apps linking at least let me know if Screen Mirroring shows up in Your Phone windows app.
For Apps linking you need to be in Windows Insider Release Preview channel at least.
I would really appreciate your input as this is a major factor in my buying decision.
Thank you !

S Pen feature update is coming to the Galaxy Tab S7 series this month

The Galaxy Tab S7 series was updated to One UI 3.1 last month but Samsung hasn’t stopped working on developing new features for its flagship tablet duo. In fact, the company is now getting ready to release a follow-up firmware update for the Galaxy Tab S7 series; one that will introduce a handful of new S Pen features which will likely be appreciated by productivity-oriented users.
The update will make the S Pen usable in more scenarios and allow for handwriting in more text boxes that are usually serviced with the on-screen keyboard. For example, once the update will be applied, Galaxy Tab S7 and Galaxy Tab S7+ owners will have the ability to use the S Pen for handwriting in address boxes. They’ll have options to insert punctuation marks, and the text will instantly be converted into digital text. The same S Pen to text option will also be added to Samsung Notes, and it will be available in over 80 languages at launch.
Scanning documents just got easier
The Galaxy Tab S7 and Galaxy Tab S7+ already give users the option to scan documents using the Camera, but the upcoming update will bring this feature more to the forefront.
This isn’t as big of a change as the S Pen to text addition but, following the update, the Scan option will be found under Attach, right next to the Image, Camera, and PDF options. Once a document is scanned, the user will be able to start jotting down notes on the document using the S Pen.
Samsung claims that the next Galaxy Tab S7 firmware update with the S Pen to text feature included will be released by the end of February. The rollout will commence in select markets though, so it won’t be available everywhere at start.
Once you’ll have the update running on the Galaxy Tab S7 or Tab S7+, you’ll find the new S Pen to text feature by opening Settings and accessing S Pen under Advanced Features.
Galaxy Tab S7 S Pen feature update is live and it brings Dolby to DeX
Samsung has promised us that a new firmware update for the Galaxy Tab S7 series will go live before the end of the month, and the company’s keeping its word. The Galaxy Tab S7 series is now getting a new S Pen feature update in Europe, and it happens to include the latest March 2021 security patch.
Galaxy Tab S7+ owners in Germany — and possibly other countries — should now be able to download firmware version T976BXXU1BUBB from the Settings app, and the firmware will also be available for download from our archive soon. The rollout began with the Galaxy Tab S7+ but the base model shouldn’t be far behind.
New S Pen to text feature is live along with Samsung Free, Dolby for DeX
The latest firmware update for the Galaxy Tab S7 series adds a new S Pen to text feature that lets you use the S Pen in more areas including address boxes, and it makes scanning documents a little bit more convenient as the feature is easier to reach.
In addition, the new update introduces Samsung Free, as well as Dolby support in DeX mode and improves the platform’s stability. The fingerprint scanner should have also improved but no additional details were included in Samsung’s official changelog. If you happen to notice any changes, feel free to let us know in the comment section below.

Question Samsung Devices Not Working!

As the title says, I have a Galaxy Watch Active 2 and a Galaxy Buds Live which was connected to a Samsung phone I had before. I bought a OnePlus 9 Pro today, and tried connecting both via the Galaxy Wearable app. None of the two devices are going past the first stage, where the error says "Not able to install required Plug-Ins" for both. Is there any fix for this? They're not getting installed via apkmirror too. The apps not installing are:
1. Watch Active Plug-In 2
2: Samsung Service Accessory
3. Galaxy Buds Live Plug-In
Is there any fix, or will my samsung devices not work with my OP ever? Please advice me, thanks!
I don't have the Active 2 anymore, but it worked with my OnePlus 8 & 9 Pro.
Maybe some info over in the watch forums, here's sample:
Tutorial for Connecting JioEveryWhereConnect to Samsung Galaxy Watch/Watch 3/Active Watch 2
So its the time to share the tutorial of connecting Samsung Galaxy Watches LTE mode to Xiaomi/Redmi phones (applicable to whoever using custom skin android like MIUI, OneUI, Colors OS etc). We searched alot of youtube videos and forums about this...

Thanks for the reply. But it seems like this method is to setup the LTE version. Mine is the Bluetooth only version which is not getting connected.
