I don't know but i wait the compatibility with Samsung Galaxy Tab2 10.1 ... i'm surprised because i have paid this tablet so much and in italy we have SKY(TV) where we can see Football, films,disney channel's cartoons, history channel discovery channel ecc ... but the app for mobile(to see sky on mobile and not on tv) Is compatible with ipad 1 ipad 2 Samsung galaxy tab 1 10 pollici Samsung galaxy tab 1 8.9...why for new tablet is not compatible like galaxy tab 2 10 and ipad 3 :-(

It seems like if you get the apk's for incompatible apps, they will install and work fine.

Hi everyone.
I have a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and you can get apk from certain games and apps and it could work (for ex. Max Payne and GTA 3, but you need to download data via wifi).
But for other (mainly Gameloft's), you can install the app, download the data via WiFi, and still wont work.
If you google it, you can find a lot of issues and refund-requests because of people buying the games and apps and not getting them to work.

Ok thanks but why we who buy new things must lose?

Its not just if you have the apk. You need to change your build.prop file to emulate another device (such as galaxy nexus) see my post in this thread:

Okok but can you pass me on pm the build.prop file that i need to work the gameloft games and other...

You dont need to change the whole thing. Just those few lines. I dont actually have an entire galaxy nexus build.prop (altho google could help) but I think that would seriously mess up your tab. Just download a build.prop editor and change those few lines. If you need the stock gtab 2 7.0 one i can give you the link (hopefully)

[Q] EA Games not working on the Galaxy Tab

Hi everyone...new on to the site and love it...since signing in yesterday I have probably spent 16 hours of my 24 hour day here hahahaha.
I have a question...I just recently purchased the Samsung Galaxy Tab and re-installed all my apps that I have purchased on the Market. I noticed that my EA Game apps are not working. Am I the only one having this problem? Is there a fix or work around this?
I have NFS: Shift and FIFA Soccer 2010 and while it tried to load, it would give me an error and say that it is an Unsupported Device.
Also my Bejeweled 2 is giving me the same message...any help???
thanks in advance and love the site ^_^
There is a Tab specific version of NFS in the Samsung Apps store. They haven't put Tablet supported versions on the Android Market though.

I guess am stuck for now

Plants vs. Zombies is now available for Android...however...

...it DOES NOT work with the Samsung Galaxy Tab.
It works for my 3G Xoom however. So sad....
Why are you sad. You got it working on xoom anyway. ;-)

But I want it to work on the Galaxy Tab because the tab is more portable. I use my Galaxy Tab more often than my Xoom.
I think that for now, this game only works with Tegra 2 devices.

Yes, I did try Chainfire 3D with Nvidia plugin but it force closes while loading home page.
whatever you're trying to install can't be the real game, because it's not released yet. it will be out by month's end on the Amazon store.
I've also found this apk floating around. It seems like the read thing tbh. It gets to the loading screen then crashes and goes to my home screen.
| Don't Revive Me Bro! |
Awesome. Cant wait.
Same with my GT here it just starts on the opening screen and after a few seconds self closes. Tried it both on stock froyo then on GB overcome....
not working for me on both galaxy tab and o2x.

Maybe because its leaked? You can hold the iPad version and this side by side and there arent any differences.
| Don't Revive Me Bro! |
There are two versions: a clone (that works) and a leaked one (since the release is tomorrow). The leak works well on Tegra 2 and I've read that someone was able to have it working on HTC HD2, but with a custom ROM with more RAM available.
Working yet
I got the leaked apk that's been going around, the HD 1.0 version, and it works fine on rooted SGS II. Looks like the proper thing as well.
Available now for free. I hope somebody can provide this here as it is only available in the US.....

i found an apk that worked on my GT but im not going to link to it because that would be considered as distribution of warez and a mod would have to come and edit my post.....

[Q] any app which makes Admin/user accounts, for kids tab2

Is there any app for tab which makes Admin/user accounts, so kids can be safe & restricted to their user account & privileges.
I am planning to buy a tab for my kid, on my phone they mess up by opening non related apps & setting changes like enabling /disabling wifi bluetooth & many other settings.
I found an app called kids place (actually its a launcher) which restricts the kids to an extent but was looking for a better option with proper control as admin has on computer.
kids place actually restricts them from the tablet interface all together, that not what I want. Interface should be available to them but they should be restricted to certain privileges, they should not be able to change settings & use apps which are not assigned to them.
if you get an tab that has jellybean, you can create 2 accounts with terminal emulator. with other account you cant change settings, atleast the more sensitive ones. you can hide apps etc

Tab2 as of now is being shipped with ICE 4.x.x version not sure if samsung will upgrade it to jellybean.
Only google nexus 7 tab is being shipped with jellybean which is already overbooked, I would have to wait for months getting that.

That would be awesome if that is true but meanwhile I found what I was looking for the app already exist but I never came across earlier neither in play store nor at xda saw anyone discussing it.
SwitchMe is a unique application for root users that allows you to log in and out of multiple installations of Android just as you would on a desktop computer.

That is good to know I can wait 2 weeks if that is happening or can buy now & update later.

Kno

Does anybody have the Kno textbook app for their n8000? I tried to download it from the google play store, it says that it is not compatible. are there any work arounds for this? I really want this on my galaxy note tablet for studying. I have it installed in my galaxy s3 and I am happy with it. Any advice would be welcome BTW, my galaxy note is not rooted and even my s3.
Have you tried using the default Samsung appstore?

Yes I have tried looking for it in the play store and in the samsung apps but its not there.
Not compatible with the 3g version of the galaxy nte, don't know why but a lot of people aren't happy about that... You can sideload the app but you need to edit the build.prop to think its an 8013/10 or a google nexus.... You can find more info in Themes and Apps section...

best apps on samsung apps ( are there any)

So I thought I might start this thread to see what apps everyone likes on samsung apps if any.
I,'ve only ever found 3:
navigon
Need for speed
PES 2011
All available for galaxy tab 7 but not for note 10.1, unfortunately. Haven't found anything on there yet worth getting for this tablet.
You need to look harder.Ive found several that are not only worthwhile but paid apps at other stores.

Can you list any, is the Samsung store the same in all countries or does it depend on location as to what apps are available.
Anime Radio
Game Radio
Jet Set Radio
A Few

Amazing text free-you can label your home screens with text in different colors and effects.
I second Jet Set Radio! Controls work great on the tablet plus the game is classic from Sega.

afaik it depends on your location.
BTW, if you edit your device ID in the build.prop to GT-I9300 instead of N8000 you'll find 3-4 gameloft games which are normally paid but for free in the Samsung Apps store (Asphalt, Modern Combat 2 and 2 other which i can't remember)
