[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 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] 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.

multi screen questions

Hey, I know its kinda early as most of you probably don't even have the note yet, but I was curious on how the multiscreen feature works. Can you use it with any app or just Samsung's special apps. Also is the feature packaged as an apk in system app files as to have the possibility of being pulled from the note and ported to other tablets. Thanks, and enjoy your new tablets.

As for now, it only works with Samsung Apps.
Maybe a custom Rom can change that, or a root app.

I was wondering this as well. I'm hoping there will be some way for third party apps to make use of it, but I'm thinking that's probably a pipe dream.

Its a great feature but only works for samsung apps sadly

To make it useable for other apps, Google would need to amend Android to support a virtual split screen. As long as split screen is not part of the OS itself, it will remain a specific solution.

I think the apps that in the multi screen is quite good, you have the snote, internet, polaris and email.

To all that would like to see this in non Samsung apps: send a question to @Samsung-dev twitter asking them to publish an API for this. It may not help but it cant hurt. I for one would love to see a published API for this and the mini apps. They have one For S-Pen, why not for these features also. Should be a value add for their tablet if there were community apps that could use this stuff.

Thanks was wondering about adding apps with UEALI3. Would have been great to add ezPDF to it.

This ability is part of the touch wiz interface.. Its a propitiatory patented framework Samsung will not share it with anyone. Trying to port it can cause severe security issues as this is based on pop up notifications. This is the reason the cornerstone split screen software has not went very far.There was a big write up about this and the cornerstone software on xda tv months back. I looked and cant find it

Currently on ics it's only possible with samsung apps. But as seen with the Jelly Bean updates in India it's going to change to all apps.

Can someone who has it already tell us how the look and feel is for the split screen.
I'm thinking about buying it to replace my 8.9 tab

Sketchbook from Note3

Just found a thread in N7000 forum with the app extracted from Note3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2444504. Checked, it works on N5100.

Awesome. Works on the N5110 also.

Is there a difference between this version a the SketchbookPro for Note available on Samsung Apps?

could be the same - I have no idea - due to my exceptional and outstanding lack of any graphical skills the app is already uninstalled, just thought I'll share it, seeing quite an interest in graphic apps here...

functionally they seem to be the same. there are some ui differences that can speed up usage (or slow you down depending on your usage needs). the dropdowns are a bit smaller and more "pen frielndly" , but they've also moved some of the tools into a dropdown. either would be fine as i don't see the changes are "magical" and not really essential, but i think the samsung version is a bit more style.
