I have been slowly getting cheesed off with Apples products due to the way their updates are rolled out, I have 8 Apple products in our home and when Apple roll out a new update you have to download the complete update to each phone instead of downloading it in iTunes once and then farming it out.
So I have been looking very closely at the New Galaxy phone, but I also needed a new Tablet as well, so I thought I would try things out on the tablet and if it all looked good then go and buy a phone.
I bought yesterday a 2 week old Samsung S3 Tablet 32GB Wifi & 4G, I figured that I could have a play, see how it syncs everything from my Office Workstation and take it from there.
Installed and got everything from the tablet end working fine, then thought, its about time I synced my contacts and calendar and then do my music....how very wrong one can be.
All of my calendar, notes, tasks etc are stored within my Outlook 2016 .pst file, although we have a server I don't use MS Exchange as it would be overkill of resources.
It transpires after an hours telephone conversation with Samsung support that you cannot sync on as an as and when needed status to the Tablet, their suggestion was that every time I made a calendar or contact change that I back up to one note and then restore to the tablet/phone.
Although I have a Google account, syncing to that would entail a similar operation.
Are Samsung right in their reply or is there a way of doing a sync on a daily or half daily basis?
I have checked out the Kies App but that doesn't work and it suggests you download Smart Switch, which the provided link reports no such file.
So as I am not mystic Meg, and a bit ****** off with having wasted my time and money, does anyone have any suggestions before I put it back up for sale?
Thanks for any ideas.
