Looking for a Clamshell type keyboard for the 10.5 S

I remember my Tegra 7 had a aluminum bluetooth keyboard that had grooves on each end you slid the tablet into and the you could open and close it like a laptop.

That is was im looking for, for the tab s 10.5.

Bo PU leather folios with build in keyboards, or the official drop in keyboard im looking for something thatll turn it into a laptop.


Im sure they make 10.1 inch ones which im all ears to see and read about but finding a 10.5 one is probably going to be tough.

totally looking for one thats metal but plastic is fine.


Thanks to any and all contributors.

Tab S2 9.7 vs S 10.5 screen quality

Hi

Can someone who have used both S2 9.7 vs S 10.5 and had some chance to compare them side by side comment on the screen quality? I'm interested because I have the S 10.5.

Aside from the obvious aspect ratio and minor size difference, how are the displays. Text sharpness, clarity, color saturation, contrast, etc.

I saw one amoled phone (don't remember the model) and what I liked about it was the display image seemed to float right at that surface of the screen. I think it's because the gap between the top glass and display is very thin. I don't get the same feel with the Tab S, i.e. it feels more like the display image is below the glass, if that makes sense. What about the S2?

I hear the S2 uses pentile attachment as opposed to RGB. I know this is controversial and some say it does not matter, but if it does not affect quality then why don't Samsung and everybody use it in everything from phones to high end TVs since it's cheaper and less power hungry.

Thanks

Forcing external sdcard on android with cordova and file plugin - Galaxy tab 10.5

In a cordova android app (scroll to the bottom for device,version, plugin list, all of it quite up-to-date as of this writing) I want to preferentially store file on the external SDCard and use internal storage if SDCard not there. I am setting my save path to:

persistentFS= cordova.file.externalDataDirectory||cordova.file.D ataDirectory||fileSystem.root.toURL();

Its eventual value is file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.fubar.app/files/, same as cordova.file.externalDataDirectory.

I have set:
<access origin="cdvfile://*" />
...
<preference name="AndroidPersistentFileLocation" value="Compatibility" />
<preference name="AndroidExtraFilesystems" value="files-external,sdcard,files,documents,cache,cache-external,root" />

in config.xml,

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_ST ORAGE" />

in AndroidManifest.xml and set various enchantments in index.html Security metatag. I add that a SDcard is inserted, write-enabled and I confirm that I can write to it with - for example - a file manger. It contains the Android/data/com.fubar.myapp/files/ folder, as it should.

All for nothing: files get written to - and read from - the internal device storage. I have read all google could scavenge on this topic but nothing has brought me closer to the task (some folks suggest using the file-system-roots plugin, but it appears to have been subsumed by the file plugin).

Using adb shell, I can see that the external sdcard files folder for the app has an absolute path of:

/storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.fubar.myapp/files

and calling resolveLocalFileSystemURL on

file:///storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.fubar.myapp/files

happily succeeds. I do not think that is the way to go, as that path is device dependent.

Any hints? TIA, alf
