Battery dies when tablet is not being used
on September 16, 2014
Posted by: PebblesCO
from Fort Collins, CO, USA
Purchased this first of July when they were released, getting the cover with it. Have enjoyed it for the most part.
Biggest pet peeve of late is dead battery. I will press the button on the side to shut it off in the morning (I don't power it down fully). If I happen to leave it in my knapsack I often start hearing the dreaded beep of low battery a few hours later -- while it has just been sitting in my bag -- not using it. A few weeks ago, encountered this when I had it sitting on my desk and had placed a notepad on it. Yesterday, had it inside its case, inside a soft-side tablet case -- made sure screen turned off before I put it inside. By early afternoon it was beeping and it hadn't been used since the morning.
There are days I do get to use it for several hours without a problem. Just extremely frustrating battery dies when I'm NOT using it. Tired of planning to use tablet during bus ride home at end of the day to find it has died while sitting idle. They claim 9 hours of battery life, but it will go from 100% battery to <5% in less than 8 hours of sitting idle in the bag.
Not sure if this is due to the cover design or what is happening. One would think that if you press the button to put the tablet to sleep, it should stay asleep until you press a button to wake it up.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, samsung quality
Cons: battery will die when not in use
I would recommend this to a friend!

The screen is the star of the show!

However, the performance on the device isn't all that great. The GPU struggles to perform under some very basic conditions at times and noticeably lags. The screen truly is the shining gem though. Also, offering a basic 16gb of storage on tablets needs to stop!
Pros: Bright display
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The quality of this tablet is great. It's well built, light and thin. Leather finish is soft to touch and helps with the grip. I am enjoying playing games, listening music and watching videos. The colors are amazing on this tablet! And I like the fact it's fast and very smooth. Overall it's a great tablet for
the entertaining and business or school.

Either a dream machine or a dudd
on July 10, 2014

At 58 years young text size and readability are becoming increasingly important to me. The Galaxy Tab S 8.4 will be a dream machine for many, especially the younger generations. But, for many of us middle-ager's, it will be less than ideal. The performance is exceptional. The design is almost flawless, except for the omission of a mini HDMI port. But, useability is hampered by the Android OS and a lack of true integration of "Accessibility" features with many popular apps (ergo Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, etc., Did you know in the Facebook Android app there is NO setting to change text size or fonts?!). Changing the font size on the Android system under Accessibility features does NOTHING for Facebook, and so many other Android applications. And, it only minimally helps with Web browsing (many section headings, callouts, sidebar items, etc., are still dinky and hard to see even though you may have cranked up the system font size). So, depending on your activities and age, this tablet may have limited value. At this point I actually find it easier to read my social content and email on my Samsung Note 3 than on the Tab S 8.4!! I hate to admit it, but I'm going to take a look at an iPad Mini and see if they have this worked out, and if they do, then that's where I'm heading!
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: android os, limited accessibility integration to popular apps

Ram utilization is very high. I have few apps installed. Expecting android 4.4.4 soon as it has many of the bugs fixed and battery related issues are also released. I hope samsung resolves these things. Excluding performance rest all are very good. I look the design, display and easy to carry.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations, performance is not upto expectation.
