Hey, I will make my question quick and painless (hopefully)..
Is it possible to take a program designed for windows (in this case, it's a daily logging program for truck drivers) and put it on the Galaxy 10.1?
Short answer: No
Long answer:
You could use the app through remote desktop, but then you probably need to open some ports in your router at home and use your external IP or use a DynDNS host of sorts.
You can use a logging application like this perhaps and log after?

I don't know if anyone has done this with the 10.1 yet, but maybe you can install Ubuntu on the tab and use Wine / Qemu to run the Windows program: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258506
PS: It will probably crawl, if it runs at all!
Use Splashtop to run it on your PC from your Galaxy Tab. Works fine with Wifi and 3G. As a bonus, it's on sale now. Great app!

I installed the complete pack on my Tab S 10.5 size. All is ok BUT due to the size of the screen of 10.5 which is greater than 10.1... you need to have a valid Office 365 account to be able to fully use the apps.
On my old tf300 i installed the apps and was able to create modify and record any doc. It's laggy on such an old tablet but it was just to test.
On the tab S 10.5... you can't ! You need a office 365 account... just for 0.4 inch ! What a shame
Yeah what a DB move from MicroSawft.. I installed on 10.5, then quickly uninstalled after seeing how useless it was.

Same problem here. Unable to create or edit document on the Galaxy Tab S 10.5....
Need a subscription beacuse of .4 of an inch!
Hey has anyone got a solution to this problem? The only guy I've seen try anything is this user http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/microsoft-word-excel-powerpoint-remove-t3017094
Other than that is there any way we can contact Microsoft to request that they allow the 10.5 inch screen?
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.

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.

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.

And no offense to Lee82UK who was trying to be helpful. My frustration was to Samsung for releasing a pointless app.

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 mySMS. It syncs across your devices so that you can create and send sms from your tablet or Pc. Your phone only needs internet connection.
Cant download Mysms, says it is incompatible

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.

Can windows 10 installed in tab s6 like Galaxy Book S given Windows 10 can install in ARM ?
Thanks
Not currently. Nothing is impossible but it is highly unlikely it will ever happen.

The following ways are convenient for temporary tasks or remote work:
Microsoft Remote Desktop Client, or Jump - if you have desktop PC.
Shadow - https://shadow.tech/int/discover - if you don't have a PC

The remote clients is not an option for most of us as we need to physically connect hardware to the tablet to use the Windows 10 features. Why carry a laptop with me if I can use my tablet to do hardware programming via a serial port or LAN card. These units needs to be physically conncetd to the device in order to access the programming thereof. Its a shame we can't get Windows 10 properly emulated to use these awesome devices in stead of laptops.....

You can connect hardware with USB Over IP like VirtualHERE.
Or buy a Windows Tab, like Surface Pro or Flow Z13.
I read and write cars Engine ECU with a S5E and Shadow.tech , my hardware is usb shared with VirtualHERE and everything work.
I just acquired a new Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 10.5" tablet. So far so good, but the mail icon from the front page of all my other Android devices is missing.
I did also (then) use Samsung's smart-transfer utility, but it didn't install it either.
I do have Outlook as an option, but am used to the built-in one.
I wonder why it is missing, and how to get it.
TIA.
If you did use Samsung Email, then it should be on the Galaxy Store.
Samsungs smart transfer is not always doing a perfect job.
GOt it, thanks!
