So, when i open samsung apps (the app) on my italian tab, i only see three applications.
Ive read somewhere that sammy has hundreds of apps for android... so where do i get them?
I only get the remote control app.
and on my phone I get 13 apps :-(
As far as I know those things are being loaded by local operator by using custom CSC file. They are not really worldwide applications. But it would be a good idea to create a thread where we comment all the market programs that run nicely on full screen.
Is there away to get more of samsung's apps, or should I treat the thing as bloatware and remove it?
Can it be removed safely?
It looks useless to me. Samsung apps is their equivalent to market or appstore for Bada.
I don't think there going to be published something for TAB.

I've a question for you: Have you checked again lately?
I've rooted my tab and I've tried several firmwares and I always got 2 apps in the store.I've tried also 3 sim cards TIM(Italian) Wind(Italian) and FIDO(Canadian) and always 2 apps.A friend has a 'untouched" with a TIM sim card in, and after he did a factory reset he had a bunch of apps in the Samsung Apps (Corriere, Gameloft HD,Milano finanza etc)
I'm not able to understan why....any idea?
Its based on location, which is why it needs a sim.

Do you still have the original JID? Have you tried to install Market enabler and fake TIM provider? (it should works also with samsung apps because when I tried changing the provider the Sam apps asked me again to accept terms and conditions..)
Yep, and because of the lack of apks ill have to flash it again to get the sammy store back!
What are you on? I might give it a shot, but i see no other reason to flash yet - from what i hear theres no improvements in any of the newer firmwares...
edit: also, why would TIM have more samsungs apps do you think? are they an official partner or something?

I'm back on JID now I've tried JI6 and JJ4, but all the same, just 2 apps....About TIM I just said because is the provider my friend has..but he started to have all the apps after a factory reset which its also strange...and they are no partner because all the italian provider are selling the Tab.
I'd like to know if someone from italy with a brand new tab (no root or different firmware) with an Italian Sim card in, can see the apps or not...
dude... i realise just how stupid i have been!!!
start kies and click on the samsung apps widget

I tried to write to Samsung, I can't wait for an answer...sure will not fix anything though
I am in the US. My tab was shipped from Italy with only two apps showing in the Samsung apps store.
It shipped with XXJI5.
Later I flashed to JID and more apps showed.
I then reverted back to JI5 and only two apps are showing.
I think it is relates to JID.

If you have a Sprint Galaxy Tab and would like to get the feel of making phone calls try this app from the Market "Line2" you will be able to grab a phone # from any area code in the us.
I came across another post talking about this great app, Posted By dfullerman.
There's already a post on this.
It looks like you work for them and are just trying to advertise here.
The UI sucks.

1. if u take a look, I mention that there is another post talking about this, I notice that one after I did mine and for the record I call on those that have a Sprint Tab like I do.
2. if I work for then, at least I have something to do, over 200 people came across this but only u have to come up with something negative.
3. if u dont like the UI maybe others do.

There is no contract, if you want you can just go with the month program they would send you an email for your next payment, I did the $49.00 for the 6 months.
I'm using a pre-paid credit card
THanks for the prompt response.......so just install app, register and voila! Able to make phone calls?!?!?!

i did initially, but after few days after i setup line2 and tested. It tells me that it cannot connect or waiting to connect to the servers... So uninstalled.
Sadly to say, i lost my i9003 today.
I have done all the password change and remote wipe.
I don't think I am able to get another i9003, so bye, bye i9003 forum.
Thanks for all the people who turn this phone into a great device.

don't call it dead yet! ask questions to see what can be done. why are you trying passwords, and what remote wipe are you doing? I've never heard of remote wiping...
there is app on market for remote wipe,but in my point its stupid unless you have some hard personal or professional files.

It is a gone case. I left it at another side of the world before traveling by airplane.
I remote wiped my Outlook work email (was using Touchdown). It supposed to delete the email data once the apps connected to the network again.
Well, in case somebody else happens to be in the same situation, I advise to do these immediately:
1. Change your Google password - this will disconnect your phone from your Google account.
2. Change your facebook password.
3. Change your yahoo password.
4. Change every online password that you have been accessing using your mobile phone.
I will be searching for new phone soon...let the research begin....

I second this recommendation
I say go with the Sony Neo V, relatively the same spec-wise and also relatively cheap but smoother on stock and you'll get ICS next year.
if you are from india go for lg optimus 2x. full hd and support of ics
That's very sad u lost ur cell.

Over here the retail price is about the same price when originally Galaxy Ace was launched (RM800-RM900). A friend of mine bought Galaxy S Plus 2nd-hand also about the same price.
I thought this will be a seller, and true enough, the XDA forum section was granted way faster than when we requested for the Galaxy SL.
The biggest plus of the galaxy w is...it will be updated to ics...well, thats what samfirmware told!!

So for the past year or so I've been using whatsapp. The main reasons? It's cross platform and the ability to group instant message. My parents, sister, wife, in law's... My entire family has adopted it on my account. And it's great, for mobile phones. But yesterday I bought a nexus 7 and discovered it won't work on tablets. So basically I'm now trying to find either a way to get it to work on the nexus (preferably) or any alternative that suits our needs.
Basically, it's a cry for help. But I'd love to hear from you guys. Any suggestions are welcome.

Didn't work. The new verification code is 6 digits. But even if it weren't, pretty sure it wouldn't work. Anything else?

Rumors (in other words, not necessarily true or false, but not confirmed).
I'd suggest you use something like Skype, GTalk or another IM that doesn't use phone numbers for verification. Obviously, it will be harder to add friends since it's not automatic, but you're not going to find any app that uses your contacts' phone numbers directly and your number without verification as that's a real issue.
Even if you could get Whatsapp to work on your tablet, it doesn't support two devices at once (your other device will be desactivated), so I'd really suggest you don't root your tablet and get a backup app just to try that that. Of course, it has its advantages, but it won't be useful in this case.
here what i done on mine
whatsapp application need a phone number verification which ll provide a code over text or phone call so i suggest to use a different phone number since you choose your tablet or cell-phone if you use the same number, since you cant run on both
try this download the apk over computer and transfer to u memory card or use a file host as dropbox to simply download and install
visit to download http://www.whatsapp.com/android/
and now use your home-phone or another number different as the one you use on cell-phone or try google voice if you are in the US
now just input telephone number and request a code over phonecall which is faster and get the code when the app request it just input the code and you are set!
hope helps or get the idea to accomplished what you need
Thanks for watching

I'm going with Skype. If does what I need. But both Skype and GTalk have a problem : neither support android 4.2 multi user. This is a problem. What I am trying to do is consolidate my Android experience. Both me and the wife have Android phones. Now we purchased the tablet for browsing at home and such. When out and about we use the phones to keep in touch with other connected family members and friends using Skype. When at home, we want to be able to reply from whatever device we are interacting with. If I'm in my session on the Nexus, I want to reply from there. Don't want to have to get up and go get the phone. Same for the wife. As main user, I can do this. But I can't get it to work for the wife's profile. At least not without logging out of Skype before switching profiles.

There are several texting apps in the Play Store. My personal favorite is TextNow. The only caveat is that you tell it what area code you are in, and they assign you a "phone number" and that is the number your texts come from. You may end up getting a phone number from the area code you enter, or you may not, it just depends upon what's available. As long as the people you text know it's "you" and list it as one of your "phone numbers" it does not really matter.
You can even buy "credits" and make and receive voice calls using this number.

But, that's the whole point. It's not a "phone" it's a tablet. I know it has a phone number however, that was the reason for my question, because its not really a phone.
