[Q] Galaxy tab eBook app

Hi All,
I just bought Galaxy tab and I am loving tab eBook app, not just because of animations but because of few important features like dictionary which is not available in Readers Hub Kobo.
One quick question- How can I purchase and import books in Tab ebook App. There is no download/buy button.
I have downloaded few books in kobo but I would like to open them in Tab's eBook app. Please help how can I do that.

You can't, those are 2 differents apps. And could you be so kind to post the apk of the ebook reader? I lost mine while upgrading my firmare. And I really loved the old book theme
Should be in /system/app/Ebooks.apk
Thanks again, kind sir

Just use Calibre for your ebook needs... It can't get them for you, but it can organize it for you and convert from almost any format to almost any format.... Also it can download cover and meta data...
You just have to download a book, import it, ( edit meta data), convert it, send it to the device, and read.

Sorry, Could you guide me bit more. When I click download Epub from website, i got URLLink.acsm file which I can open in Adobe digital edition. I am not able to convert in to tab supported epub using Calibre.

If I remember it well (I currently haven't the ebook reader installed - looking for a deodexed version) you can import ebooks very easy by creating a folder on your sdcard called Digital Editions and place your epub books in there. Maybe you have to reboot before they show up.
(Could be that you first have to sign up for the online store)

Guys could you please just guide me how can i download epub format book.

Just download the acsm file, open it with Adobe digital editions. Go to My Documents/My Digital Editions and there you have your epub files.
(Hope you didn't found that out yourself while I'm writing this)

I always remove the drm protection from the eBooks I buy. Just to prevent this kind of problems. I use this method: http://www.dvdvideosoftware.org/guide/remove-drm-from-adobe-epub.html
Maybe there are some better ways nowadays. Just search for it.
BTW isn't it possible to set your adobe id in the eBook app?

I can not see /system folder. I am using inbuilt files application.

Which format are ebooks that have animation when flipping pages?
Sent from my GT-P1000M using XDA App

To get it back you have to change the product code back to something like CPW. This worked for me.
The code was something like *#232*IMEI#. Check the forum if thats not the one.
After that factory reset (you will loose everything!), youll be good to go

The flipping pages animation isn't part of the ebook format (although most ebooks are ePub format) that's just something the ebook reader does or doesn't do. Laputa does it but when you flip backwards it's the same animation. The Nook software is the best for the US for accurate animation.

You'll need to use something like ASTRO File Manager
I have an additional question. Does anyone know where/how the ebook app stores it's book index? I would like to be able to sync the book and index between my Note and Tab.

why my ebook not working?

Wow i just realize that calibre is already developed for android

[Q] S-Note Password locked

Hey, so many of my older notes are password locked and I never locked them >.<. It happened after JB update. Been having this problem for months now.
I've tried:
Full Wipe from recovery
Factory Reset
Wiping app data and cache in Application Manager
Anyone know a solution?

Been having thjs issue on my n2, I think the problem lies when Samsung syncs your notes. Only solution I have found is to disable syncing and use google drive. The spen works great and so does the snote app but god damn samsung servers suck! I am hoping since the note series is getting popular not only with phones but also tablets and now 2 mobile os' s that samsung will improve their server

Sad to say more than likely your notes are jacked. Unless you have copies you wont retrieve them back. For some sketches and notes I had jpg images from me sharing text or faxebook. I opened a new note and opened an image stretched it to the whole page and saved it. In addition to syncing to google drive. I also uploaded the snote folder in my sd card to dropbox
Also I believe you have to to sync files manually...

CANNOT OPEN FILE error message

My college daughter just got herself a Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet. She has Office Suite installed.
When she downloads a .doc file and taps on it to open, she gets the error above (CANNOT OPEN FILE). If she opens OfficeSuite and select this file it opens without a problem. It does not happen with .pdf files for example.
Any idea what it might be and how to fix this?
Thanks.

I dont use that software but, my guess would be go into settings, manage apps, then look for office suite program. Click on clear defaults. Now when she clicks on a .doc it should ask her what app she would like to use to open it.

I tried that, it didn't help. It's not even getting to a point where she is asked to select an app to open the file, it just says CANNOT OPEN FILE and it says that about any .doc file.

Im at a loss, you could try google quick office. It is supposed to be quite good. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Good luck.

Thanks. As I said, we don't even get to the option of selecting which app to use, it just point blank tells us "cannot open".

Any app to view stored wifi passwords?

I have tried many apps but haven't been satisfied with anyone. I see somewhere that there is a file located in data/misc/wifi/ named "wpa_supplicant.conf" which stores all passwords from wifi networks. My question is: Is there any app that lets you view your passwords and even create a backup of them? Just see them, so when someone asks me the password I can tell him by looking at that app and giving him/her the password..

Can someone try to access this Capital One 360 site and see if it works?

I have a Google Pixel and am unable to log into my Capital One account from any browser. Ive tried Chrome, Firefox, and Dolphin and get the same error. When I try to log in to any of the Capital One 360 banking sites it redirects to this link here. https://www.capitalone.com/ent-signin/ . And then I try I get errors on all 3 browsers. Ive tried everything except for a full factory reset. Ive tried clearing cache, cookies, all data, uninstalling and reinstalling. I also tried 2 different Wifi networks, and through LTE. I even went through the Pixel chat support and the tech couldnt figure it out either. So can someone that has a Pixel please try to access that site link using a browser and see if it works? Here is a screenshot of the error I get. Thanks
PS: The app works, but I prefer the mobile version via browsers.

Works just fine for me but using chrome beta? You might want to try and clear cookies for all capital one properties.
Just as an aside, why do you not use the app? They just added fingerprint auth and allow multiple accounts.

Just tried the beta and it does the same thing. How would I clear cookies for all capital one properties?

See in the middle of the too many redirects message you're receiving? Click that. Is it not opening on wifi and cellular as well?

Yes, Ive tried it on wifi and cellular. And cleared all cookies since the "beginning of time". Cleared all chromes data and cache as well. Also tried without being logged into Chrome. Always same error.
Another note is that it works perfect on my S7, so this is my Pixel only having this issue.

Well I'll be. After using an incognito window I'm having the same issue (seems to be happening on all mobile sites just tried on two other phones).
It's ugly but if you request the desktop site it works. Perhaps we should report to them as I believe this isn't a pixel issue.

It doesnt happen at all on my T-Mobile Galaxy S7, only my Pixel. I already sent a message to Capital one. I also spent about 45 minutes in chat using the Pixels built in chat support and the tech said it must be a Capital one issue with just the Pixel? I really dont know. I also just tried to clear all cookies for any capital one site. Still happens.

When I click the request desktop site it goes to a page with several capital one sites. But when I click the log in to 360 it goes to the same error page. None of this happens with my S7, so I dont know if its the Pixel, or Capital One's problem.
