Tab A9

[Dara70]

Just got a A9 tab, unable to increase grid size. Tried other suggested solutions but these are not working (no Easy Mode on/off option in Display settings and not available under Home Screen Option either). Software up to date, restarted etc etc - all hints appreciated, thank u

@Dara70: That's strange. If you open the Settings menu, tap the magnifying glass symbol in the top right, then search 'Easy', does Easy mode appear in the results? Similarly, if you search the word 'grid', does 'Home screen grid' appear in the results?

Hi Andrew, Easy returns no results, for Grid it only references "verbosity" and "Speak  list and grid info" this is my 3rd Samsung tab, my current one has the grid options under Home Screen settings but not under this new a9 tab

UI7 on A9 tablet removed grid options.

HomeUp is not available  for A9

Thank you so much

I have a  dead 18months old A9. Ive tried all the tips to restart with no luck

So the BIG question is how can I get a 4x6 grid on my home screen on my new Tab A9+???!? Right now, I'm looking and a vast amount of empty real estate with very small folders on the screen. Inside the folders are tiny icons that I can barely see. Even my Samsung phone (with a much smaller form factor) has a 4x6 grid! This is my third Samsung tablet (plus I've bought many Samsung phones). In the past, I have been pleased with my purchases. I hardly expected Samsung to turn the home screen of my tablet into something that is barely usable. I hope you can hear my frustration.

Easy does not appear in the Settings on my Tab A9+. So disappointed with the dense grid sizes that leave the icons (in folders) unreadable and tons of empty real estate on the screen.

It is not available for Tab A9+ plus either. Removing the reasonable grid sizes must have been the brilliant idea of someone who never used the tablet!
