Question

When I add a contact on my note 10+, it is not showing up on my tablet?

Dan B

Community Answer

Make sure that both devices are logged into with the same Google or Samsung account and auto sync is enabled on both. If this is done, when a contact is saved on one of them, it automatically saves on the other.

Question

When I am watching Netflix, Amazon Prime, or Hulu, the video doesn't play on the tablet. Why?

Rudy Toth

Community Answer

You might need to set up an account with those titles on your tablet. If you watch those titles on your phone, then it's a different device.

No, as a Samsung tablet cannot detect a Nokia phone and a Nokia phone cannot detect a a Samsung tablet.

Question

What happens to your phone when upgraded to a tablet?

Rudy Toth

Community Answer

Nothing, since you have two different versions one for your phone and the other with your tablet. Both are separate in device terms.

Question

When transferring data from my phone to sync with my tablet, does it affect any of the data etc., on my phone?

Samantha Fitzpatrick

Community Answer

No, it just transfers the data from your phone to your tablet. It doesn't affect any of the data on your tablet either.

Question

It says I can't sync my calendars. True?

Oscar Wang

Community Answer

Normally, if you are using a school or work account, it is true. If you are using a work or school account, sometimes the administrator will make your account so that you cannot sync.

Question

How do I get my s21 to connect with my sm-t810 so I can receive phone calls and texts on my tablet?

Omakoji friday Paul

Community Answer

On the Bluetooth of your phone. Search the name of the device on your phone and then it will bring out the name of that device, then you click on the name of that device to connect.

Question

I just got this Samsung tablet and trying to sync my Samsung phone. When I use the Samsung Flow sync, I am stuck on step 5. It is saying "no shared content".

Omakoji friday Paul

Community Answer

This is because you did not back up your details on your first phone or the email you use. You need to back up your details, because the old content is different from the content you enter on your new phone.

After syncing note 10 to tablet, how do you answer the call on ta ablet?

Community Answer

With the Call & Text on other devices feature, you can make and receive calls on your tablet as long as it's signed into the same Samsung account as your phone.

Question

I'm unable to connect my Samsung S21Ultra to my Samsung S8 Tablet. I already accessed Samsung Flow and Smart Switch. What am I doing wrong? I cannot make/accept calls or texts on my tablet.

Community Answer

A tablet doesn't support a phone plan (carrier), so it will not work.

Question

Using Smart Switch from a Galaxy S9 phone to a Galaxy tab S8, "messages" is grayed out and doesn't transfer. Am I doing something wrong?

Community Answer

It's possible that the "messages" option is not compatible with the Galaxy Tab S8. You can try using Samsung Cloud or a third-party app to transfer messages from your Galaxy S9 to the Galaxy Tab S8. Samsung Cloud allows you to back up and restore data, including messages, from one device to another. Alternatively, you can use a message transfer app from the Google Play Store to move your messages between devices.
