[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prcme:
This worked for my Sprint tab!

I tried airplane mode before, but when it killed the wifi (as I expected), I started searching... I had searched all over for this simple procedure with no success until now.

I had recently purchased this Sprint tab under the description of being a wifi only. When I received it and saw that it was a Sprint, I did not care at first, since I live in Canada, until the battery started being drained very quickly in my poor cell reception basement because the CDMA phone could detect a weak cell signal. I know that any other CDMA phone I had would use all its power to latch onto a weak signal.

Thank you very much.

Airplane mode turn off the cellular radios. Sim cards have nothing to do with it. Both GSM and CDMA are affected by airplane mode the same way.

It will turn your device into a wifi tab.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamM69:
I just select airplane mode then re-select wifi on. This shuts off the 3G but lets you surf wifi.

The problem with the Airplane Mode is that it also turns off Bluetooth. For some reason, unlike wifi Bluetooth can not be turned back on individually while airplane mode is selected. Any ideas anyone??? :confused:

I FOUND THE ANSWER!!!!! EasySwitch Pro

This is a fabulous app that allows COMPLETE and SEPARATE control of your wireless radios.

EasySwitch Pro by SMARTDYNE

Uses a very simple and effective widget to switch settings.

Works great on Samsung Galaxy Tab!!! :D

I'm not on my tab at the moment so I will do it from memory. For the data issue, if you hold down power, you will see a selection above airplane mode about something to do with data. Turn that off. When I was playing around with it I'm the past, you need to have the radio on (not airplane mode) in order for the GPS to lock. You can also, In settings, enable network location in the location section.

To get rid of the activation nag, note the icon in the notifications bar. See what it looks like? I used root explorer, rooted of course, to navigate to /system/app. Scroll down slowly until you see an apk that has the same green circle with a check mark inside it. Enter rw mode with root explorer. Add .old to the end of the filename. Reboot. No more nag. If you delete it, you cannot update to gingerbread. It needs to be running to get the update. You can disable it later. You also lose all update functions in the about my galaxy tab section.

I use Widgetsoid2.x it allows me to go airplane, enable/disable 3G, wifi, GPS and more. Can get it in Market.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordLugard:
Sigh, you have it wrong. Turn on Airplane mode, go back into Settings and turn on WiFi and Bluetooth. Simple as that.

The ONLY way you can't turn on Bluetooth in Airplane mode is from the drop down slider thingy in Android. If you go into Settings, you can turn on Bluetooth in Airplane mode.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobz:
whats up?

Still wishin to kill cell-radio-app =) Any new ideas except the airplane mode?

ps:GPS and Bluetooth don't work in this mode..
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rwoolf:
I tried selecting airplane mode and then turning back on WiFi. However, Galaxy Tab is still trying to activate the Sprint account I do not have or want to get.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidow:
use titanium.

i use titanium backup pro... open titanium press "backup/restore" tab and look for the icon as appear on status bar, the app name is "System Updates 1.0.0" press and hit "Freeze !" this gonna stop the app to work is better than deleted dont delete it, you may need it later, then reboot. Sprint Activate message disappear on my tab. You must be rooted to use titanium app.

i have the same issue, cant find a solution. trying apps just turn on airplane mode. :(
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gd48202:
I have installed Cyanogenmod on my Sprint sgt. It is much better than the stock, but was trying to connect to the Verizon network to activate. I was finally able to completely ignore the 3g by renaming the phone.apk in the system app directory. If I go into something that accesses the phone I get a force close, but since I don't need the 3g, it doesn't matter.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VDub2174:
I'm gonna have to try this out over the weekend. I don't mind having to hit cancel when my Sprint SGT tries to avtivate on Sprint but it's always better to not have to do that :p
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gd48202:
This was copied from another site (it was written by rodderik). This is specifically for the sprint tab and definitely works, as I used it before switching to cyanogen.

Install root explorer (another paid app)

1. Open root explorer and navigate to /system/app/

2. Hit Mount R/W at the top

3. Hit menu key and multi-select

4. Check DeviceManagement.apk and DeviceManagement.odex (if you have it)

5. Hit Move at the bottom (or delete if you never want to activate)

6. Navigate back to /sdcard/ and hit paste

7. Reboot

You will need to keep those files and do this same process to re-enable it. (Move files back into /system/app/)

[Milestone XT720 General] xxeddixx:
How do you hard reset the phone when it freezes? which buttons do I hold down?

I hate having to take my shell case off and pulling battery every time :mad:
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
To the best of my knowledge pulling the battery is the only option for that situation.
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
+1

agreed

that's what i do
[Milestone XT720 General] androidcues:
Don't you mean reboot?

Hard reset is a psuedo full wipe of the phone. Its not as thorough as a fastboot wipe but its still a wipe of the whole system cache boot and ext partitions.

Also if u just wanna reboot...try adb.

adb reboot.

I like to provoke ANR or adb stop and that shuts down system immediately. Then adb start and most likely reboot but sometimes it actually starts again.
[Milestone XT720 General] xxeddixx:
Sorry , "Hard Reboot" :)

Yes This really stinks as I have a SGP Capsule Shell and its hell taking the skin off and taking out the battery.

Why couldint there be a 10 second button hold like every other phone in the world :mad:

First of all, when I searched for doing programming on an android device, I got a kazillion results on programming an android app. I don't want that. Currently, what are the languages that I can write and compile on an android device? Is java one of these?
[G Tablet General] muqali:
I've always wondered why noone has posted a static gcc build for android. gcc g++ gcj, they all should cross compile. You might have to enable swap to use them though.
[G Tablet General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Android basically runs Java. That's the simple answer.

You might find some interesting reading on Eclipse with the google plugins.

If WYSIWYG/RAD environments are more to your liking, check out the "google app inventor."

[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Um, guys, I said I don't care about building apps. I wanted to know if I could write and compile java on an android tablet.
[G Tablet General] mwmeyer:
Not quite java...

First, Android doesn't *quite* run Java. It runs Dalvik. That's a tweaked version of Java to help google not use the lawsuit with Sun/Oracle. There's a preprocessor you have to run over he Java bytecodes to get Dalvik code. This is why you can't simply port (or rather, build, given that there's a Linux under there) gcj and use it as is - you need the jvm->Dalvik translator.

The good news is - that runs on Android. There's a Clojure (a JVM/.net language) port for android that uses that translator to run code. While it's not up to building production code, it's fine for writing/testing code on android. I assume the JRuby port also uses it.

If all you're interested in is programming on a g tab, there's lots of options, most notably Google SL4A package (python, ruby, beanshell, sh - I think). But you can find Scheme, BrainF*ck, Pascal, Basic, etc. No Java, but I found at least three languages that run on the Dalvik VM (Clojure, JRuby, and Frink) that let you access some or all of the Android APIs. If you want to explore the Android APIs, one of these will probably work.

Finally, there's IDEDroid. That runs locally, but looks like it exports the compile and execution to their web server. It has support for lots (and lots and lots) of languages - including Java. If you just want edit/run small programs to play with the language, this might be just the ticket. I think I'm going to install it so I can play with haskell....
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
I wonder. Why in the world hasn't anyone developed a way to write and compile java code on android?
[G Tablet General] muqali:
GNU has gcj, I'm fairly certain the same tools you use to compile a kernel would work to make an ARM/Android version.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Could you please clarify? I guess I'm seeing the potential to incorporate the gtab into my work at the lab. Let just say we're a bunch of engineers trying to act like IT programmers. Why hire an honest to god programmer when you could have your engineers lose sleep over trying to program the machines?

So, please could you stop giving me single sentence answers? If I get the gtab will I be able to use it to write, debug, compile, etc. java codes? We've been doing our own things with java and it's too late to switch to something else. I'm sure it's possible, I'm just having trouble finding the answer in search as it seems noone has ever brought this up before. Ever.

Would the following be what I'm looking for?

[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
So, I take it that it is not possible to write, debug, and compile java code on an android tablet?
[G Tablet General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I did mis-understand you initial post on my first reply.

Now that I understand you question, I'm a bit baffled as to 'Why?'

A tablet just doesn't seem to be a very conducive platform to entering and compiling code.

I don't know about any development tools meant to run on android directly. But there are people running ubuntu on their tablets.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
I don't understand how you could have misunderstood my original post. Here it is.

I said, and I quote:

I don't how else I can make it clearer. I'm an engineer, not an idiot. A simple google search turned up millions of links to how to manage android projects on a pc. Why in the world would I be asking this? And I even said I google searched and it turned up nothing.

For the sake of convienience... and to baffle my colleagues.

The whole point of having a tablet is its light weight and the touch screen. I'd like to be able to take it to meetings, take notes with a stylus, show colleagues basic autocad drawings, write and debug java codes for some of our projects, etc. This is not to say I want to use it as my main device. I will still be using either my laptop or my desktop for my projects, but having something like the viewsonic gtab to carry around and do these things seem cool to me.

I'm just baffled why there hasn't been an app development to run/compile java code on the android OS.

Sure glad I tried to help.

Prick.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Yes, I'm a prick. I fully admit this. This attitude came from years of experience with 1337s online. When I first started getting into linux, and this was back in the days when there was no visual interface for installation and you had to type in a dozen commands for every step of the way while it asks you for the specific models of your peripherals, I searched for several days on solutions pertaining to a problem I ran into. After being fairly confident that there was no answer to it, I signed into a linux forum and asked about it. I got a couple one-liner answers that made no sense, a couple answers that assumed I was an idiot so they answered the wrong thing, and half a dozen "you're an idiot, go away" answers.

My first rule of thumb is if you could interpret a person's question at least 2 ways, then without further info assume the interpretation that doesn't include assuming the other person is an idiot. And this is for an obscure question. My original post clearly stated I was talking about debuging and compiling java on the android tablet itself. I specifically worded my question like that because I knew people were going to assume I was talking about the thing you assumed.

This 1337 attitude online is getting old.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Thanks. I guess this is what I will have to go with for now. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has thought of this before. Surely, if you could run it on a linux distro such as ubuntu, then I'm sure it's possible to do the same thing on a different OS that runs on the same processor. Why in the world hasn't anyone come up with this yet?
[G Tablet General] adampdx:
Sounds like its up to you to save the day!
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
I'm a materials/structural engineer who's an amateur programmer. I practically live in my lab. Sure, the other engineers often look at my programming work with oohs and aahs, but I assure you they look like something put together by an idiot if you're a software engineer. Something like this is several miles above my head. Most of my work look like spaghetti code anyway.
[G Tablet General] HKChad:
B/c any real programmer would probably blow a hole in his head trying to write/debug code on a tablet. :rolleyes:
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
The same could be said about autocad, and yet there is an autocad app for it, given that the capabilities are limited.
[G Tablet General] Jland:
AndCad is a limited but decent auto cad program

and touchqode (or something similar to that) is a app you could compile code on.. I pulled it off of an open source app site, not sure if its in the market..

If thats what you were looking for...and to be fair..your initial post seemed like you were wanting to CREATE apps or possible EDIT aspects of code of the internals on the G tab...just a simple..( oops just meant to compile and debug) post woulda cleared it all up..but hopefully that answers your Question

No need to get hostile, Just be happy and good luck coding, if you find anything else, please let me know, I would love to be able to do quick edits to code on this thing as I carry it everywhere..

Ya, I really should work on my anger management. I developed the attitude from dealing one too many times with 1337s on the internet. One reason why I have recently moved away from the linux community. They seem to make it their personal play ground when it comes to linux. They seem to get turned on by giving one word answers that I guess makes perfect sense to IT people. But I'm an engineer, damn it.
[G Tablet General] mi_scott:
More IDE tools

Another option, although I don't know if it works on the tablet yet is Google's App Inventor. A nice little option for kids and adults just learning.
[G Tablet General] the3dman:
Touchqode seems to be only good for writing java code, as of now you can not compile or run java code with it. But it is a very good start.
[G Tablet General] PGP_Protector:
not really, developing on the system you're coding for is great, as yo don't have to deal with emulators, hardware emulation,ect.

Also you can use it to test smaller sections of code, gfx routines, sound routines, ect.

There should be a setting for Flash in Dolphin. The first time I open Dolphin, it always asks me during the setup if I want Flash on Demand, Always or never. I always put Always because the "On Demand" doesn't seem to work well.

If I go to espn.com (this calls up the mobile site) and scroll down to bottom and click espn.com it will open the full site. If I then click on Sportscenter Videos tab, none of those play.

Can someone test that out as well? Are there other sites where this works so I can test as well?

Dude what are you smokin'? ESPN.com doesn't have a link to Sprint.com???

To the OP: I followed your steps (with no trouble) and also cannot watch the videos on ESPN.com. I tried setting plug-in to ALWAYS and still no video. The website may be detecting the user agent string and disabling flash server side.

EDIT: just went there on my desktop and when I right click on a playing video it says "Disney's Media Player Framework" - this may be the cause of the problem, they are not using standard flash plug in for video.

I guess it depends on what you mean connect to computer. If you are talking about using your phone to get on the internet with your computer, You can use wireless AP ap that is built into the phone. go to Settings/wireless and network/Mobile AP, check the box that says Mobile AP and say Yes to the popup box. You will have to go into Mobile AP settings if you want to secure your network and setup a pass phrase. You can also use USB Tethering if you want to use internet through the USB cable. Other than that you may want to go into Settings/Applications/Development and check USD debugging if you are having trouble connecting.
