[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gadgetguy2005:
Hello all,

what are your top 10 apps on the Galaxy?

I have Googled this - but other than general top 10 Android apps, there was no hit.

Since the Galaxy tab is not the same as any general Android phone, the top 10 probably are not the same either. Also, new apps come all the time, so a list from a year ago would not necessarily be the same today.

So: would you be so kind to share with me (to help me discover my brand new Galaxy Tab - bought two days ago) what you consider the best / most useful / must have apps for it?

If this has been already posted somewhere - in that case please forgive my question, and pls point me to the right direction.

Thank you all!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gadgetguy2005:
Anyone? I have downloaded thousands of apps - and I really would not like to try all of them...

I have also tried a couple considered "best" for general android use, and they did not even work on the Galaxy tab...

Please point me in the right direction...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Nobody replied because there is no answer. Ther is no top 10 "best" apps as it all depends on the person who uses the device.

There is a "Must have" topic, you are better of looking through that for peoples "preferences" and see what you like sound of.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonzbabysh:
I don't se why they wouldn't work on your tab, the only thing that might be off is the scaling of the app fitting the tabs screen. If that's the case in which you speak of "not working", just download "spare parts" from the market , open it and scroll down to compatibility mode. If its checked, then uncheck it ( or viceversa check if unchecked) and reboot then once rebooted do the same and reboot and they should all fit your screen. Let us know if that helps.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gadgetguy2005:
Thank you - you comment helped me to find what i was looking for!

[EVO 4G General] jasonleb1:
Is there a downloadable Nandroid Backup of the stock Evo rom or any other rom out there somewhere? I saw that someone did it for the Stock Nexus S rom but I don't think that'd work on my Evo. I'm asking because I dug up my old Evo that is stuck on a Fresh boot loop and I'd like to try to fix it. I tried a factory reset but that didn't work, nor can I flash new roms so I'm pretty much stuck without a Nand Backup.

Yea, use that link to get a stock rom, NOT a stock nandroid backup. NEVER use a nandroid backup from another evo, it's just asking for trouble.

While trying to unlock xoom, after the 3.1 update, I'm now stuck at the Dual Core screen.

Can anyone guide me to resolution?

Thanks in Advance.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robbiev80:
what steps did you take?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoopsdavis:
I just followed the steps of:

This will ERASE your Xoom.

1) Get the Motorola USB drivers MOTODEV > Documentation & Tools > USB Drivers (you need to sign up on their but maybe you can google this and find it as well)

2) Get the Android SDK Android SDK | Android Developers (you only really need the fastboot executable file for your host OS)

2.5) - I will soon put together a windows pack for usb drivers & fastboot so you don't have to download all this stuff just to do one task.

3) Power off your Xoom

4) Press and hold the volume down button while pressing the power button

Even after the Xoom turns back on keep it pressed down and you'll see some starting fastboot protocol text on the top left of the screen.

5) Open a command window in your sdk\tools folder (not platform tools and depending on when you get the SDK you may need to copy over some DLL files)

6) type:

fastboot oem unlock

7) read the warning on your Xoom's screen, hit volume up if you wish.

You're now free to put whatever data you want on your tablet. Cheers.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoopsdavis:
Can anyone help me get back on track?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoopsdavis:
I was able to get my xoom restore with the following steps:

: This will wipe your Xoom

You're going to need to have the Android SDK installed. You can download it here.

Download the official HRI39 build from Motorola here.

Unzip the files in MZ600_HRI39.zip and move or copy them to the /platform-tools folder in your SDK folder.

Connect your Xoom to your computer.

Type adb reboot bootloader. Wait for it to reboot into the bootloader.

Type the following commands, waiting for each to finish before continuing:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

fastboot erase cache

You've now successfully flashed your Xoom back to stock. Now it's time to relock the device.

Type fastboot oem lock, wait for the menu, the press the volume-down button. Then press the volume up button. It'll take a minute or so, then reboot. You're now completely back to stock and ready for the update.

Is anyone else disatisified with the sms app on our wp7? There's no contact photo of who you're talking too, the conversation does indicate who said what, such as my name isnt on one side and the other persons isn't either, just the contact name in big ol huge font at the top. I wish a developer would create a more feature rich sms app that shows contact photo facebook and twitter status updates and more copy and paste access such as copy and pasting entire strings of conversation that include the date and time. and last but not least

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE improve the mms application, it is so lacking does not play video nor gifs and whenever a funny ha ha mms with music is recieved it plays the music file first then shows you the image, its just awful
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
The sms client is bad and halfway done (no video support). we know that already... Yes they need to fix this issue... its a pita yo communicate with no decent I'm and half an mms client.

But you could have searched and bumped one of the other ten threads.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sylau90:
To the OP,be careful mate,M$ fan boys are watching you.your thread title might hurt their fragile heart.Then,they will start trolling and ask you do more researches before you buy a phone.

Anyway,i'm not a M$ fanboy,same here,wish they can add in more features to the stock sms app.

I wonder why there are homebrew sms apps for iOS such as bite sms&ireal sms,but why not this happen in WP7???weird....

cheers mate.just wait until fall,then your question might be answered or maybe...lets hope or just sell the device.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Audio:
:rolleyes:

I'd imagine because the API's are not yet available for Developers, like many others...
[Windows Phone 7 General] GuestK00306:
I don't think there's anything inherently bad about the SMS app. I know who said what because there are only two people in the conversation, and I know what i've said ;) Plus my texts are on the right and the others are on the left. Easy.

What you are listing aren't features, those are design considerations which don't suit your tastes. They suit mine. It's impossible to appease everyone.

BUT, this all boils down to the lack of APIs. If we had these APIs, someone would make an SMS client that you do like. If Microsoft keep going this way, they are going to realise that people won't sit around and wait forever for Microsoft to update. It is much easier to let the community do the work!

Now the MMS, from what I have read that does suck. I wouldn't know because I have an unbranded device and therefore am not allowed to enter my MMS settings...apparently.
[Windows Phone 7 General] blanket:
i guess an improvement that can be made to the sms client would be to differentiate the sender and receiver by colours, as well as the left/right orientation.
[Windows Phone 7 General] noelito:
Let me say this, I don't want to hurt or upset anyone's feelings on here, I'm pro Microsoft love all things from Redmond, I am a wp7 cheerleader!

I feel bad that I didn't look to see if any other threads had been started regarding the sams subject. My apologies.

I thank everyone for their opinions and input, it gives me a better understanding of why things are the way they are if that makes any sense.

With all the additional features coming to the mango update, I only hope that SMS client gets in on the juicy goodness

[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
To the OP: ah, I see you've never used windows mobile. You don't know what a horrid anything is.

ROARRRR I want my phone to fly a plane and do somersaults!!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
The Windows Mobile SMS client was threaded and similar to the Blackberry SMS client, which is not a bad thing. It also supports full SMS Backup and Restore via Microsoft MyPhone (including MMS, IIRC). It was decent on a well-spec'd QWERTY device or a decently modded capacitive touchscreen device with the right OEM modifications. It is more than usable on the HD2, but its hardware support does stifle the Snapdragon SoC and Camera (Which is capable of HD Recording, IIRC).

The only thing I feel bad about with so many other Windows Mobile device users is that they had such crappy devices (WM minimum specs were so low, that you ended up with OEMs putting up ridiculously bad devices devoid of RAM/Storage and processing post). That never helped it...

@ OP if you don't know who's saying what in an SMS conversation then I dunno what to say. The chat bubbles are descriptive enough to let you know where stuff is coming from quite obviously, and that bubble type is used in almost every type of smartphone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
MS can make any improvement they want. I am happy with what i am having right now... Since i don't text much and the only thing i need is something that i could send and receive messege. I bought the whole new phone not for texting only.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Correct, but a dumb phone is a whole phone and they're cheaper to buy and service than a smartphone...

The issue for some users is that there aren't many good IM apps (if any) on the platform at the moment so you're really relient on SMS and email for textual communications (SMS is superior to email due to the fact that it's pushed irregardless of what type of phone the person has - feature phone IM clients often use encoded MMS). So, it makes issues with that particular application a bit more apparent.

Not that I think they are issues. I think it's kind of hard to not know who's saying what in the SMS client because the chat bubbles are clearly pointing in the correct directions. However, the lack of Voice/Video MMS does leave a functional black hole that even SMS clients on the platform do not fill.

The SMS client has issues, but those issues have nothing to do with the chat bubbles.

P.S. Tons of people who buy smartphones actually use the data connection more than they use it as a phone.

Alright, well my captivate has been broken for probably a month and a half now. My earpiece flex cable is broken, and I want to confirm that this is the reason that my phone won't work.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigg12x:
so i had the mytouch 4g for 3 weeks now 2nd week i calibrated which it fully died charged it fully to 100% with phone on. removed charger and powered off. charged to green light. took off and powered on. then turned off again and charged when off once agian to green. saying this would make batteyr better. i did the same today a week later i noticed battery has gotten way better over time na happyer with it but will this method mess up or effect anything since i did it twice?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altroy2:
You should be fine. Just don't do it so often. There shouldn't be that much of a need for it. Also, if you had ur mt4g for such a short time, the battery should be new, assuming you bought a new one. And one more thing,

Do not discharge your battery all the way. When you calibrate, wait till 1%, not 0%/Dead.

Here are proper ways of doing it. Pick one that you like/works for you.

Method 1: Brought to you by ckisgen

1. discharge it down to 1%

2. turn the power off and plug it into the wall charger

3. charge it for at least 6-8 hours (the more the better)

4. power on by booting into recovery (leave it plugged in)

.5 wipe battery stats (under advanced)

.6 boot it up and let it charge while turn ON for another 30-60 minutes

7. make sure you fully discharge it again down to 1%

8. plug it in and let it fully recharge again (ideally another 6-8+ hours and ideally powered off again)

Method 2 (this is if you must calibrate but do not have the time to do everything) brought to you by coltfoet5

I calibrate by..

1. Charge to 100%

2. Boot into recovery/advanced/wipe battery stats

3. Reboot system

4. Run battery down to 1% then charge back up to 100% constant

Method 3 brought to you by altroy2:

1. Download Battery Calibration by NeMa from the Market

2. Run your battery down to 1% but not to 0%

3. Plug in your charger

4. Run the Battery Calibration app

5. Once it beeps = Full, click Calibrate

Bagtery pull = remove battery, open one click, press and hold the proper download mode buttons (i.e. Vol up + down or just down), then insert the usb cable. Should boot into dl at some point. I could have sworn I read somewhere that this worked for all builds.

It did not work.

I pulled the battery and left out for a few minutes with no results.

I also remember that before this thing happened when I pulled the battery and plug in the wall charger the screen would show a battery icon with a question mark, now I got nothing but the black screen.

The only response that I have noticed when trying your tip is that without the battery when i plug in the charger the green led blinks once.

I am starting to feel that this is hardware related.
[Droid X General] Roland Deschain:
Keep the battery out. Plug in the WALL charger, not through USB. (yes, I know it's a USB cable that goes into a converter to use an electrical outlet; the point is, hook it up to an actual electrical outlet)

If you don't get the big battery indicator for charging coming on the screen, hit power once. Still not, hold power down a solid 5 seconds. If still no go, then you have a hardware problem. Also, try using a different USB cable just in case if this doesn't work.
