Section 4: Entering Text

This section describes how to select the desired text input
method when entering characters into your tablet. This section
also describes the predictive text entry system that reduces
the amount of key strokes associated with entering text.

Your tablet comes equipped with an orientation detector that
can tell if the tablet is being held in an upright (Portrait) or
sideways (Landscape) orientation. This is useful when
entering text.

Text Input Methods

There are three text input methods available:

•

Google Voice typing

•

Samsung keyboard (default)

keypad that can be used in portrait or landscape orientation.

You can set a default text entry method in Settings. For more
information, refer to “Keyboards and Input Methods” on

Using the Samsung Keyboard

The Samsung keyboard is a custom virtual QWERTY
keyboard, featuring optional predictive text or continuous
input. Input characters by touching the on-screen keys with
your finger or use speech recognition.

You can enable predictive text, to have the Samsung
keyboard match your key touches to common words and
displays them. The Personalization option learns from GMail,
Facebook and Twitter. Log into these applications to enable
the Samsung keyboard to learn from your text input.

Keyboard Types

In addition to the default QWERTY keyboard, there are two
other types of the Samsung keyboard: a Floating keyboard
and a Split keyboard.

To change the keyboard type:

1. Use two fingers, such as your index

finger and thumb, to make an inward
pinch motion on the screen, where the
keyboard is displayed.

A pop-up displays the three keyboard types.

2. Touch one of the keyboard types to display it.

The Split keyboard can be moved up and down and the
Floating keyboard can be moved anywhere.

Using Predictive Text

By using Predictive text, you can have next-letter prediction
and regional error correction, which compensates for pressing
the wrong keys on the QWERTY keyboard.

Note:

more information, refer to “Samsung Keyboard Settings”
on page 142.

While entering characters, potential word matches display in

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that provides access
to local area networks. Use your device’s Wi-Fi feature to:

•

Access the internet for browsing or to send and receive email.

•

Access your corporate network.

•

Use hotspots provided by hotels or airports while traveling.

Wi-Fi communication requires access to an existing Wireless
Access Point (WAP). WAPs can be Open (unsecured) or
Secured (requiring you to provide login credentials). Your
device supports the 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi protocol.

Configuring Wi-Fi Settings

For more information about configuring your device’s Wi-Fi
settings, see “Wi-Fi” on page 119.

Finding Wi-Fi Networks

You can have your device automatically notify you of available
networks. For more information, refer to “Advanced Settings”
on page 120.

Turning Wi-Fi On

Managing Downloads

Files, apps, and other items you download via Internet, Gmail,
Email, or in other ways, are stored on your tablet’s internal
storage. You can use the Downloads app to view, reopen, or
delete what you have downloaded.

To manage the demands on their networks or to help you
avoid unexpected charges, some mobile networks place
restrictions on the size of the files you can download. When
you are connected to such networks, and you try to download
an oversized-file, you are asked or required to delay
downloading the file until the next time you are connected to a
Wi-Fi network. At that time, the download resumes
automatically. The Downloads app can also be used to view
and manage these queued files.

Downloaded files are stored in the Download directory in your
tablet’s internal storage. You can view and copy files from this
directory when connected to a computer with a USB cable.

Uninstalling an App

Apps come pre-installed on your device and you can
