- Hi everyone.
This video is about to test the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.5 LTE (2018) tablet split screen (multi window) function with the Uber app, Google Maps, Lyft and Waze, and test to make and receive phone calls. I think it's very useful for Uber and Lyft drivers.
Thanks for watching.

Update on the tablet. I bought another one of this tablet. I got the International model, T595. Everything works well and has the same features just like yours. The original one I had was the Verizon version, the T597. It didn't have the phone and messaging app native which is a huge deal breaker. Although I could have found other apps to call and text people that would work with Uber app, I prefer just using the one Samsung provided. I also got an anti glare screen protector and a RAM mount. Setup is great. One pax thought he was in a Tesla lol
Good job :)
What car mount are you using? Can't seem to find one for tablets...
What are you using to mount it to the dashboard? Can you please provide a link to the product?
*_Hey, that is so cool, man. This is probably the best use case scenario for a Samsung Galaxy Tab. Really admire your being techie being put to use, especially at work. Drive safe. Enjoy. Hope I could book your Uber when I visit your town someday. More Tab video uploads, please. Cheers!_*
Thanks :)
Nice Video, I am a Uber driver in Holland. It al works. Google maps en also waze with this tablet.

Since watching this video I bought the Samsung galaxy Tab s4. Yes the expensive model but not so expensive as I bought it second hand on Facebook market and love it. I have started using it daily driver as well which is weird but yeah it's awesome. I do use it for Uber and navigation but must say I use it upright because you can see alot more in Google maps rather then horizontal. Thanks my friend

I'm wondering if it'll still work well if one tethers their phone's network instead of buying a sim for this.
One of the best setting ever thanks
I been using a 7inch phablet Honor note 10 with exactly the same features for quite some time. At the end I can use the phone for day to day usuage as well and mounting it on the dash is just like the phone so it's easy.
Thank you for this it really a game changer. Tablet was just delivered today, playing around with it. Going to get the LTE setup on my account later this week.
Hey man, welcome in the TU family! (Tablet Users) If you have any question, just leave a comment. :)
@@uberdriverlondon So I got a SIM to get the tablet active on LTE. I noticed for my tablet, I don't have the phone app or messages app. I do have a number associated with the SIM in my tablet. Is there a way for me to install those apps? I think the issue is that my tablet is branded for Verizon and the type of software installed removed those apps
I don't know man, but I say try to install a phone app from the Play Store, or alternatively, you can try the Google Voice.
@@uberdriverlondon I heard Uber stopped letting Google Voice work but ill try Skype for call and text in a few days so I let my carrier get everything sorted with the new phone line thats linked to the SIM in my tablet. But I did test it out and I am able to send calls from the tablet and receive calls from passengers on my phone. No way to receive text on my tablet without installing a 3rd party app so if looking for a good one. Then ill update the number on my Uber account to the new number for the tablet and then I should be able to send and receive calls and text all from the tablet.
Did your tablet come stock with the phone dialer and messaging apps? Im trying to see if theres a way for me to install the Samsung Experience that would give me those apps and remove the carrier apps that came with the tablet.
Hey bud, how do you mount the tablet?
Satisfied video.. ❤❤❤❤
I liked the video. I wanted to know how I can create an Uber driver / Maps Button pair for more easy open and what tablet to buy 8" or 10". Thank you
Great video, are you still using this tablet set up? or have you updated to a new tablet or a better set up? Thanks.
Just subbed! This channel has potential! The cheesy music could sure use a bit of a change but. Besides stock repetetive tunes you should talk more instead.
Thank, I will try to make a better video later on :)
Uber Driver talk maybe lol?
Hello there. Just quick question please. Is it good tab 7s plus 5g?
Can this be done on an iPad?
Great! One more question because I just got my iphone, and it doesn’t work well with google map, can I just get another sim card for my android phone and still use my old android phone like the way you using your tablet? Inwant to use my iphone for personal use and android phone for uber because android phone is great for ube
Olá, internet é nele mesmo com cartão sim ? Obrigado

Sou BR tmb comprou o tablet para Usar como uber e como está? Rapido? Qual comprou

Hi, this looks great! What mount did you use to put the tablet on? Can’t see me to find one that’s good and worth the money.
Hi. I used for a year dual suction cup mount, you can see on my webpage, www.uberonboard.com/#/device, but I changed my car and I purchased PLDH PRO car holder XS80-BJ05, which is got a sticky suction cup, but not sticky enough to stick on the dashboard, so I purchased a 108mm adhesive dashboard mounting disk, what I stick on to the dashboard and stick on to the car holder. And it's working fine. I will update my webpage later on and I will put a picture from it.
Uber Driver that’s great! Thanks for that! I’m hoping to get a big Android phone and to use the split screen function to run both google maps and uber driver app at the same time....any recommendations on a big android phone? I want to see if the split screen will work for the apps?
Does this still work in 2022?
I absolutely cannot figure out how to create a pair shortcut to my split apps (uber and waze) for my samsung galaxy tab s4 tablet. The instructions i found say to touch the blue line between the apps when in split screen to open a menu. That does nothing at all. No menu opens. How can i create this shortcut??
I created that shortcut when I purchased the tablet and after a year or so come an update and after that, I can't make it anymore. But the good old shortcut is still working. And yes it was like "tap on the blue line etc..." but not anymore and I not even brave enough to reinstall the Uber app or the Google maps because I'm afraid the shortcut is gone.
@@uberdriverlondon oh ok cool, I still really like the idea of using the tablet in split mode with uber on one side and separate navigation in the other one. Thanks for your video!
So in my opinion is maybe you can try a factory reset if it's rolling back to an older version of the Android (but I'm not sure) and be careful no lost your data. Or search for some kind of third party application or launch menu or whatever, maybe there is another way. I tried to find one but I gave up after a while. If you find the solution please tell me I'm really curious. :)
How is this tablet now i in 2024?
Ty for the video, was amazing, but you need a sim or you can share with your smarthphone wi fi conecction? without Sim
Thanks. Definitely, you can make a mobile hotspot on your phone and share the internet with the tablet. But I don't think you can call the passengers if necessary. (I mean if you Uber driver.) Are you Uber driver?
How I know so far, at least in the UK the Uber make a random redirected phone number for every single passenger, and from the application, you can initiate the call. (You can see in the video.) And if no sim, you just ignore that you can't call the people or you can find an alternative solution, like make Google phone number or something like this.
Amazing m8
Qual programa vc usou para dividir a tela
You are top ❤
Thanks Uber drive I make same thing good picture for costumers...
Hello there!!!
You know if is There a way to open the Google maps in an floating tab, and let the Uber and the Lyft apps running in splited windows?
Hi there. Yes it's probably does. I tried with 2 apps on split screen, the Uber app and the Google maps, and 3 apps in floating window, the UA-cam, Gmail, and Gallery. And it's surprised me but it's working fine.
This tablet looks okay
Nice video but could you show us how did you install the tablet on the dashboard?
Thank you for your question. I'm using a "dual suction windscreen mount" with sticky PU holder. It's not the best mount, it's a little bit wobbling but I can't find any better. I did set up to rely on the dashboard, and when I stick the tablet, I push it towards the window column, and It's alright. The mount sticky surface is quite sticky, kinda hard to remove the tablet and of the day.
To see pictures, please visit on my webpage, I just updated now: uberonboard.com/#/device
How did u mount that on your vehicle?
I use this one. Magnetic. Very strong. www.amazon.com/dp/B00I608BJ8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_5FS2FbPNA5TV8
Nice
I have the 8.0 LTE 2018. would it work?
Probably. Let us know if you tried.
Can't call the customer or receive calls 😞
You can just upgrade to a Zfold 6 and do the same thing.
good info but the music is too loud and so bad and annoying;
Quick and easy order yourself an android double din radio for you’re car I got a 10.1 inch screen android 8.1 and with the radio since it’s android you have dual screen option for both apps! Keep in mind you’ll have to tether the Internet from you’re phone to the radio and you’re good to go I’ve been using it works perfect with no need to keep looking or mounting my phone everything is done on the radio! Look up eonon 10.1 android double din I can make a video if anyone needs me 2
Can you download apps on it?
Lakeitha Fleming yes of course it’s android! Any app can be downloaded same just like any android phone. I difference just in a radio form
What car mount are you using? Can't seem to find one for tablets...
Holy fuck is the music irritating! I couldn't even finish watching
Why do you need Google Maps and Uber maps running at the same time?
Uber Maps can be very innacurate sometimes, mainly during high traffic times.
I like to use the Google maps for navigation, but some cases good to see the Uber apps too. Like come in new request before I drop my passengers, and I wanna see what is about, or just to see what is the recommended route by the Uber and compare to the Google maps. I find with this just easier to manage this job.
Oooooyes ok vision ok
👍👍
Like, But music is not need at all
hope that isn't where you live otherwise you just showed everyone your exact address
Its been 4 years and hes locked at least 3 potential robbers in the basement. 2 confirmed still alive.
Please do an update
I will do some time.
i cannot call from my tablet A 8.0
Do you have LTE version or wifi only?
@@uberdriverlondon i think so,my tablet is 8.0 and i have T mobile,i just call them they say they don't hv calling futeaure
There are many possibilities. Never trust in a call centre. Even in my tablet specs doesn't show directly it's can make phone calls, just say GSM connection blah blah blah. If I call them may they say, "no, it's not a phone, it no makes phone calls...". But maybe they right and your tablet no capable for making phone calls or just disabled this function.
I believe the phone calls use a different band than the 4G data connection. So the way to figure it out to try to install something phone application from the Play Store or maybe you can try to update your Android to the Oreo if you don't have already.
Or alternatively you can try the free Google Voice for making phone calls if it's available in your country, or you can try the Google Hangouts, but that's not free.
Or you can just simply change your tablet for this Tab A 10.5 LTE or Tab S4, or Tab S. If so, I recommend buying from locally because of this band things. So can happen you buy a tablet from the US and doesn't work in the EU.
If you have a Honda Civic Ex 2018, you don't need a tablet because it got a tablet install already and makes life easier.
Have Uber/Lyft showing on the phone and the GPS map on the Honda Android tablet.
Thanks man, I didn't know that ;)
its a good idea, but more chance to get chaught by police for using device when driving.
