New Samsung Tablet - Help With Setting Up Please - Urgent!

[moggie 939]

Hello again - have not asked a question for some time but need your help please.

1. Changed from my Lenovo tablet to my new Samsung Galaxy 8 and have managed to transfer everything easily (nice tablet) but I am confused with my keyboard which appears same as Lenovo when I start typing - however on my old tablet I could click between English and Greek keyboards!

I have definately put Englsh as my main and added Greek but nothing happens and I cannot use Greek typing. I notice that when I got the new Galaxy it is defaulted to Samsung keyboard - am I missng something and is there a different keyboard somewhere with Greek characters?

2. One other thing not important - on left hand side of tablet there seem to be two indents with 7 gold dots - have looked in photos of tablet in manual but nothing shows to explain.

Thanks everyone

Moggie

The indents are to connect the optional keyboard

To change the language on a Samsung tablet keyboard, you can do the following:

1. Open the keyboard

2. Tap the Settings cog

3. Tap Languages and types

4. Tap Manage input languages

5. Tap the switch next to the languages you want to use

6. Go back to the keyboard

7. Swipe left or right on the spacebar to choose a language 

I've just tried on my Samsung tablet with some obscure language and it works.

Your idea of needing urgent answers is not the same as mine......

Thanks Prudie and Barry - thanks I have got the keyboard back now and Barry understand that - never showed in manual but would not need to use this option.

One final question if I may? On my old Lenovo when I connected a memory stick with movies to my tablet they appeared somewhere and I was able to click on them and play without downloading to the tablet - think they showed in file manager. With this new Galaxy they do appear listed in file manager but if I click on them it starts to download and all I want to do is play not have them pweranently to save my storage. 

Thanks Barry

Re. my question about playing movies - I have soreted this now! I have put an SD card in back of tablet and transferred all ny movies on to that card (it seems to default to the SD card when I transfer)

Also I have found out how to move items from internal storage to the SD card and vice versa.

Thanks everyone

Glad you're sorted, Moggie.  I didn't see your post on the 25th but you've found a great solution.
