Bluetooth broken on Verizon Galaxy Tab?

Is there a fix on the way for the Bluetooth functionality on the Galaxy Tablet? It seems that with all other versions,(from other providers) it is possible to use a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. The Verizon Galaxy will not work with a Keyboard and Mouse at all. This has been confirmed on many forums.
Is this just a mistake that will be corrected soon with an over the air update or should I consider a return to get a device from another company? I can't imagine a good reason this would have been removed by Verizon. All other vendors have it available so what is the story?

Hi, it doesn't seem as you say. There is a discussion among a few users on Android forums and xda with a youtube video of a Japanese tab was shown with a bluetooth mouse. It was pathetically slow--you should wach it--and hilarious too. It is a touchscreen device, lol. I don't know if it is related to foreign or GSM versions but some reported eventual success with a Tmob version and there was one report of AT&T. None for Sprint, I think.
I had a similar issue with Bluetooth voice acttivated dialing on Android--none!. That was essential to me, but I got the Droid anyway. The feature wasn't added until Froyo. Anyway what function do these accomplish better than touch or that you need? To each his own. Seems to defeat the purpose of a tab. But if that is essential to you, you should shop around--It's interesting to note that that feature is not touted on any of the carrier's websites--there is no differentiation at all. They all say 3.0 and none say HID. But on Samsung's site, they vary. TMob says 3.0, the other say "yes".

Cant connect to samsung galaxy tab 7.0 via bluetooth

Cant seem to connect via bluetooth to a samsung galaxy tab 7.0 via bluetooth both devices find each device but will not connect any ideas why?

No. You can't. That's not a feature of the iPhone. Never has been. It does not support bluetooth file transfer.

Questions about the Galaxy Tab on Verizon

Hello
Samsung is saying that the Galaxy Tab is comming to Verizonwireless soon. Rumors are sometime in November. I'm really excited about this product but I'm a little in the dark on some of the features and capabilties Verizonwireless will have for the Tablet when it is introduced.
Q1. Will I be able to use my Verizon cell phone number with the tablet to make and receive phone calls? If Verizon configures it for cell phone serivce, this device will be an iPad killer. Rumor has it that it is being offered in the UK with cell phoine service.
Q2. Will it be introduced on Verizons 4G network? May as well start off on the right foot. Again, this will be hugely popular with Verizon customers if it is.
Q3. When? My contract is up in December and I am looking for a device like this. When does Verizon plan to release the Galaxy Tab?
Thanks
JayT

Verizon Webmail site will not load on Samsung Galaxy Tab SCH-1800

Is there some compatibility issue with Verizon's Webmail site and the Galaxy Tab? In the past I have easily been able to access my Webmail account directly with the browser on my Galaxy Tablet. But over the past year or so, that access has gone away. At first I was told to download the FiOS app to my tablet. That worked for about 6 months. Now even the FiOS app does not work. When I type any version of the "netmail.verizon.net" or "webmail.verizon.net" or "myverizon/webmail.net" I get redirected to the Home Verizon page. From there, I don't get any login links and thus I can not access my email root server from this tablet. I've called Customer Support on numerous occassions but nobody seems to have any clue why this is happening. Does anybody know if there is some compatibility issue with this old tablet and the website? Perhaps the platform is no longer supported, or the Android OS is too old?? Very frustrating that nobody can answer this simple question.

Samsung is usually late to the party.. no real info but i know most of their devices are last to get any updates

Can Verizon host a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4?

Is there a Verizon SIMM card available for the Samsung Galaxy Tab® S 8.4" SM-T700NTSAXAR?

I got a reply from Verizon C/S that indicates that they do. Not to surprising since they sell the 10.1" version which shares the same Operating System. You will have to get the SIMM card from your local Verizon store.

Open letter to Verizon regarding Tab 7.7 ICS Update

Note: This is a copy of an e-mail I submitted to Verizon Wireless regarding my Galaxy Tab 7.7 LTE tablet, in order to ensure that Verizon receives the communication and to share the concern with the community which has substantially discussed the issue. If this violates the content regulations of Verizon's forums, accept my apologies -- I have never been clear on the guidelines.
Dear Verizon Wireless,
The primary purpose of writing is to notify you that I will be withholding 75% of my payment on the data plan for my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, in light of Verizon's degradation of service on this device. Upon purchasing the device in June, I was told that it would be receiving the Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich" (ICS) system update. By that point, ICS had been released from Google for nearly eight months. In August, Verizon began updating its branded LTE tablets in earnest, but it was not until early October that the ICS update for the Galaxy Tab 7.7 LTE was formally announced. After a failed update push, Verizon has been silent on any plans for the past two months. Its response to a discussion on this topic in the Verizon Online Community was to simply remove comments and shut down the discussion without answering any of the community questions.
Most apps in the Android Market now require ICS or later. The Google Nexus 7 tablet, a comparable tablet to the 7.7, is now shipping with Android 4.2, a full two major revisions past the version Verizon has yet to deploy to the Tab 7.7. Additionally, I personally have experienced increasing instability with the tablet, with the network failing and requiring a manual restart multiple times a week.
At whatever time Verizon successfully updates my device to ICS, I will happily return to paying my bill in full. Additionally, I am more than willing to discuss this with a Verizon agent to come to a better resolution. However, given Verizon's current response of ignoring the problem and providing no explanation, and continuing to offer a degraded service below that which was promised upon purchase, I must take this step in an attempt to protect my interests.
Again, I would much prefer an amicable solution to this situation. Please feel free to call me on my Verizon phone number to discuss this.

In regards to this, I'm going to post excerpts of a post I placed in another thread with additional research about update timelines, Verizon's extremely loose interpretation of the word "soon", and the despicable service provided to owners of this tablet, as it relates to the specifics of this thread's topic. I am also including significant additional information relating my attempts to acquire additional information.
I purchased the Galaxy 7.7 in April this year. Like most (if not all) others, I bought it with the promise of an update to ICS soon. At this time, eight months later, I, like the vast majority of owners, am still on 3.2 (Honeycomb). Honeycomb does not support many of the apps I use, and more developers drop support for it every day, as its device presence percentage drops close to that of Cupcake and Donut (Android 1.5 and 1.6) and has already sunk below Eclair (Android 2.1), according tohttp://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html (This is a direct link to Google's own site, where they publish such information; last sample conducted over 14 days ending Nov 1, 2012).
...My local Verizon corporate store is selling the tablet with ICS pre-loaded. This means the software not only exists, but has been successfully deployed to retail units.
...The original Droid only took four months to get the 2.1 update, and the 2.2 update followed five months later in August of 2009. Keep in mind, these updates were being developed between these pushes, with 2.2 only being announced by Google in May of '09. That is 3 months from announcement to deployment. ...
Our Galaxy Tab 7.7's have now waited 13 months since the release of 4.0 by Google and still are not up to date. I'll permit Verizon the few months that they did not have the tablet, but this reduces the delay to "only" 9 months, two to three times longer than it took for other devices to be upgraded. Oh, and we're still waiting on the update. It might be suggested I'm being unfair at this point by comparing a dual-core highly advanced tablet with a much older, single-core phone that came out while Verizon had far fewer smartphones to maintain, so I'm also going to compare it to the Motorola XOOM, a contemporary device with similar hardware and software at release.
The Motorola XOOM was released February of 2011 as an incomplete project, again with the word "Soon" attached to those missing features. It took 6 months (August) to receive the SD card update. Similar to the original Droid, though, the update was only made available from Google in June, meaning it only took two months for Verizon to deploy the upgrade once it was released by Google. The LTE upgrade came out just a month later in September, seven months after the launch of the tablet. This delay could, theoretically, be pinned on Motorola, but my suspicion is that it originates with Verizon. Android 4.0 took seven months from the date it was published by Google (November 2011) to be released to Verizon XOOM owners (June 2012).
Galaxy Tab 7.7 early adopters have now waited an extraordinary nine months since their tablet was launched for their "Soon" to be fulfilled, and there's no end to the wait in sight as Verizon actively avoids communicating with their customers on the matter.
Explanations can do quite a bit to quell customer anger, as can simply finishing the update and publishing it. We've received neither, and the existence of the updated software on new units being sold adds rather grievous insult to dysfunctional software that has become an injury to those who rely on this equipment to function. I feel this is paramount to telling us that we, as existing customers, simply do not matter.
I have two further pieces of information to add that were not in my original post. Today I contacted both Samsung and Verizon Wireless about this matter, directly. The Samsung rep was, unfortunately, either incompetent or completely uninformed. Nice, polite, but unable to provide any relevant information due to either Samsung's rules or training, or lack of personal knowledge. The Verizon rep was far, far worse. I'm a very polite person when speaking (I'm in sales, I have to be, even to people who are being rude), and I didn't even get a third of the way into describing the issue before I was being interrupted by this defensive, crass individual. When I finally managed to get her to listen to my problem, her response after a minute of typing on her computer was that it was "currently available" and "[she] has no way to push it to my device" and "[I] have to wait for the network to push it". I very calmly explained to her that the documentation she was looking at was from October (she acknowledged spotting this on the documentation once I pointed it out), that the update never came through and was pulled due to issues, and that I knew both methods of forcing the tablet to check for updates. She then claimed that a coworker had handed her a Tab 7.7 running 3.2 and that it was the "current version" and that Verizon had never offered an upgrade to 4.0, in direct opposition to her earlier statements and my own eyes. This...farce went on for nearly twenty minutes before I ended the call.
It was the most insulting, rude customer service I have received in years. I felt like I was being talked to like one would address an errant child, not a paying customer. The last time I was treated this way by a cellular carrier, I left them, switching from Sprint to Verizon. Unfortunately, I am stuck on Verizon at this point due to unlimited data and hotspot on my personal line, and extraordinarily heavy personal usage, but I have no such motivation to have a 3G/4G tablet through them. I prefer it due to battery concerns, but an extended battery and larger phone are worth the cost of never having to deal with Verizon's spectacularly awful treatment of their tablet customers ever again.
Even though they're keeping my account, it's shrinking by two tablet lines.

Unable to use FiOS Mobile Remote App on Samsung Galaxy Tab 2

I'm one of the holdout Blackberry customers who Verizon doesn't recognize as wanting apps anymore. I finally broke down and bought an Android tablet device when I saw the FiOS Mobile Remote App and recognized it as an easy solution for controling my multiple HD STBs in my "Man Cave". Unfortunately, the app has been completely useless.
The app loads fine. I'm able to register each HD STB with the app, however doing anything more than the initial set-up for the remote function results in a crash. Every time I attempt to use it, I get the message "Unfortunately, FiOS Remote has stopped." I will occassionally see the attempted connection displayed on the corner of my TV screen.
All other functions of the app work, including the DVR function.
I've reported this failure for months, using the handy little report button below the crash message. No response.
I've commented on this topic in threads from other users with the same problem. No response.
I've posted to the comments section of the Google Play store. No response.
Please, would someone from Verizon acknowledge this problem exists? My best theory so far is that my tablet device is not on a Verizon data plan (WiFi only), so therefore Verizon isn't interested in supporting it (or this loyal customer).
Device is Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, 7.0, running Android 4.0.4. All FiOs STBs replaced with latest generation.

I am sorry to hear about the troubles you are having with the app. We try to make the app as compatible with all devices as possible. The full list of devices the mobile remote is compatible with is https://www22.verizon.com/OnDemand/unprotected/AboutFlexView.aspx . You may find there may be devices that do work with it that re not on the list, but these are all verified working devices with the app. Since yours doesn't appear to be on the list, we can not gaurantee it will work. Submitting all the feedback has gotten word back to Verizon about the troubles you are having. You can also submit this to the Verizon Idea Exchange.

Can't get rid of weird Japanese ads on Samsung Galaxy Tab 4

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4, and one of the first weeks I started using it, this Japanese Assistive Touch type thing appeared, but wasn’t connected with an app I could uninstall to get rid of it. But after a couple weeks, it disappeared without my noticing (or doing anything to cause it to go away). But now (from about several weeks ago) I have started getting these popup ads. However, they are all in Japanese, which leads me to think the Assistive Touch and these ads are connected somehow. When I have accidentally clicked on the ads they try to get me to download their apps (which all have very suspicious permissions). But now I can’t figure out how to make them go away. I have run scans through TrustGo AntiVirus, AVG AntiVirus, Clean Master Antivirus, TrustGo Ad Detector, and Lookout Ad Detector multiple times, and all of them after an initial scan and clear (which only gave basic things and didn’t solve the problem anyway) have told me my system is clean, even though I am still getting the ads. I have run Clean Master’s Junk Files scan, and in the results under the “Obsolete apks” heading, were three apps with Japanese titles, and the words Not Installed underneath them. I told Clean Master to “clean junk”, and the apps disappeared from the list, but the ads were still appearing. Next, I tried running my device in Safe Mode to see if I could pinpoint the problem to a third party app (even though Clean Master had classified them as Not Installed). When I ran it in Safe Mode, I clicked through all the apps available, and no ads appeared. But when I restarted it in Normal Mode, I clicked through all the same apps from Safe Mode, and still no ads appeared. It was only when I went to a third party app that the ads appeared. I went to several third party apps, and ads popped up on almost all of them. However, I’m not sure what to do to now to try to get the ads off. Any suggestions? I would like to avoid doing a factory reset if at all possible.

Not technically, no, but around the beginning of when I got my tablet in
July, an Assistive Touch type thing appeared, but I didn't download it.
That was also in Japanese, but I couldn't figure out a way to delete it.
However, it somehow disappeared without my noticing or doing anything about
it. I feel like they're connected. So the issue's been going on for longer
than from the last app I downloaded. I haven't removed any apps yet to test
it though.

Verizon Galaxy S5 Lollipop Update Does not work with Ford My Ford Touch

Updated my Verizon Galaxy S5 to Android Lollipop this week. We have a Ford Edge with My Ford Touch. All Blue Tooth features for Galaxy S5 paired and worked with Ford MFT except for text under Android Kit Kat 4.4. Since Update, I cannot: 1. use voice commands to dial via blue tooth and telephone directory from car; 2. Verizon Telephone Contact entries do NOT show in Contact List; 3. Contact List in phone is different alpha sort order from telephone directory that one can see with pairing of phone and car via Bluetooth. I have unpaired and paired phone/car multiple times. All suggestions welcome. How does one go back to Android 4.4 Kit Kat that seemed to work fine!

DrJerry,
Help has arrived! We'd love to help lead you in the right direction. For more information on the specific changes of the software on your device please contact Samsung directly at 888-987-4357.

Thank you all for the information. While it is true that our Galaxy Tab will not work in the UK, due to the differences in technology, it is the same for using a Galaxy Tab from the UK, in the US. The devices from the UK are not compatible with the network in the US and vice-versa. I am sorry for any inconvenience. You are able to view all of our equipment, including the Tablets we offer, by visiting www.verizonwireless.com/products

Sony MDR-1RBT with Samsung Galaxy Tab 2?

I've successfully paired my new Sony MDR-1RBT Bluetooth headphones with my Samsung Galaxy S3 phone. However, I can't get them to pair with my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 tablet. Are they compatible?
I held the button for 7 seconds until I heard the sound and the red/blue lights flashed. The Galaxy Tab was discoverable but never found the headphones. I tried restarting the tablet, restarting the headphones, etc.
Any suggestions would be appreciated - these headphones were too expensive to not work with all my devices.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I figured this out today - I realized I had to hold the power button long enough to see a red flash and then keep holding until I hear a second tone and a red/blue flashing. The unit paired right away when I did this. Thanks!
