BT FON App on Android Tablets

I have a tablet based on Android 2.2. It has been built by the manufacturer with a generic market app installed. It does not, therefore, recognise that I am downloading from Market in the UK. Consequently, I cannot get access to BT FON on my tablet PC with Android Market. I have tried getting to the app from my web browser on the tablet, but attempts at installation raise the old chestnut "there is no android phone associated with this account"... um, oh yeah - it's a tablet !! I have rooted my device, tried market enabler, location spoofers, etc., etc., but just cannot get the BT FON app to install.
However, if I could get the BT FON .apk file I can USB it across to my tablet and install with a package manager. Does anyone know where I can get the .apk file ? I'd be really pleased if BT could mail it to me !!! Having access to BT FON would break my tablet free of my house and wired connections
Please, no replies with complicated solutions about running an emulated Android device, copying images with Titanium backup, uploading files to DropBox ;-)

the app only makes connection a bit easier but if you wifi can pick up the BTFON wifi from a hub then just connect like any other wifi signal username is your [email protected] and your password. must be main account as sub accounts do not work. normally it will remember the wifi connection and connect when in range

BT FON app for Android Tablet - help

I have just got a Android tablet.
It runs a cut down version of Android 2.1 and doesn't have Android Market on it.
Anybody got any ideas how I can download the BT FON app without going to the Android Market?

Yes, and No.
If you are on BTBBAnywhere, you are on option 3, which gives you unmetred access (nearly) to Fon.
The key to Fon is not a BT SIM card, but a BTBB a/c. I only know option 3 (which I am on) and that gives you open access.
So if you are with another operator with a windows/android/i phone + a BT Broadband #3 a/c, you sign in on the BTBB landing page with you BT username and password (sub-accounts dont work).
I dont know that #1 and 2 on BTBB have.

I need to create an APP that runs on an Android Tablet to play mp4 video stored on the SDCARD. I have tried using VideoPlayer and passing NULL to the Connect() method, but while this will play a video from a shockwave SWF it will not play it as an APP from a .apk file.

There are several apps in the App Store. Look at them to see what might meet your needs. There is a keynote app that might be best for you.

Need to orient the Android ePrint app screen to tablet mode.

I need to use the Android Eprint app in tablet orientation, as I am using it on a Transformer Prime, with keyboard attached. Unfortunately the app defaults to smartphone mode (portrait) which makes it dificult to interract with it with the keyboard attached. Any suggestions?

Hi 41CWxOfMsg,
I see that you have a question about the ePrint app. At this time the ePrint app for Android devices defaults to portrait mode it doesn't rotate to landscape.

Disable share function on acrobat reader on Android tablet app

Installed the adobe acrobat reader on a android tablet. As the table is locked down for the most part with other third party apps, I also wanted to prohibit the ability for the user to save to acrobat.com or to share to other apps or internet. Basically a view only reader.

There is a special subforum for the Android version of Reader:

DRM and Android tablet

I am unable to unlock my textbooks on my tablet and have been told Adobe Reader no longer supports DRM. Is there another option?

Unable to download bt fon app to Bebook Live android tablet. Apparently its not compatable. Can anything be done or do I just miss out on a service I'm paying for?
Just log into FON using a web browser, no app is needed.
Scan for the FON wireless network, and connect to it, then launch your browser and you will get the log on page.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

Adobe Creative Cloud app for Android (preview) compatibility?

HI - I notice that Adobe have released an Adobe Creative Cloud (preview) app for Android. This is very welcome as it would allow me to share files across Windows desktop, Android tablet and, if necessary, iPad.
But it says it isn't compatible with my Hudl2 - why?
Could it be because my tablet is wifi only? (I hope not.)

I now have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and the Android app is not compatible with that device either - why?

Updated - NEW BT FON App for mobile internet acces...

Hi Everyone
Some updated info to add to that below. We've had a few people asking whether the app can be used on the iPad or Blackberry - i'm afraid the short answer is no - not at the moment but it is something we are actively working on.
We launched the app initially only on Apple and Android, and we've had a fantastic response so far. Over 70k downloads at this point, making it no. 7 in the Apple iStore downloads. We've had lots of great feedback and we are working on developing the app further so we can bring it to you on other devices and operating systems.
We'll keep you up to date with any new developments on this forum, so please keep checking back!
Thx
Kerry

Hi Guys,
The ipod touch devices don't have GPS functionality and hence cannot automatically locate your position if it hasn't already got a connection. The mapping still works as long as you enter the location (postcode, street name etc); but will not work if you select "Choose a location to search>Your current location".
There is no reason why the app won't work abroad. A colleague at FON tried it successfully in Madrid. It will work with any BT FON/BT Openzone SSID.
Cheers

Hi,
Given your ptinter supports print from Android, you need an app called HP ePrint. Please use Google Store to install it:

WiFi Tether Your Android Tablet to Your Cell Phone - LG Marquee Boost Mobile Example

Greetings Earthlings and Android Fans....
Just posted this to my blog and wanted to share a text version here. Check it out if you're looking to tether your tablet to your cell phone. I tethered my Thrive to my Boost Mobile LG Marquee.
From: Kaio's Klassroom: WiFi Tether Your Android Tablet to Your Cell Phone - LG Marquee Infrastruct...
Want to tether your tablet to your cell phone, but Ad-Hoc got you down? How about trying this nifty little tweak that got me up in running in a jiffy!!
I recently got a new LG Marquee Prepaid Phone with Boost Mobile @Amazon and I really love it. Only problem is, I was spoiled with my last phone because it was rooted to support Infrastructure tethering and I had no idea how difficult and unusual that was. I've since done some research with my new Boost Mobile LG Marquee, and after a little trial and error (and some lucky Google searches) I have successfully tethered my LG Marquee to my Toshiba Thrive tablet!!!
Here's what I did:
Mandatory Disclaimer - The following information is for informational purposes only. Proceed at your own risk!!! Rooting will void your warranty and could "brick" your phone if you do something wrong!! So if you damage your phone, or any of your tech, that's on you.
NOTE: If you don't have an LG Marquee, just search "your phone model" + "root" and you should find plenty of information specific to your phone. There's always people wanting to do the same thing you are, so it's just a matter of finding the information that's already out there. Once your phone is rooted, come back here and start on Step 2.
Step 1 -- Root your LG Marquee (You do NOT need to root your Tablet)
The following information was taken from LG Cell Phones Blog and are for the LG Esteem, which is a generic root mod.
> Enable USB Debugging on your LG Marquee: Go to Settings > Applications > Development > Enable Debugging and check the box.
> Download and install the LG USB drivers at: LG Cell Phones Blog You want the file "LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN32AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3. 2.1_2.exe"
> After installing the USB drivers connect your phone to a PC. On the phone, pull down the notification bar at the top of the phone's screen and click on USB Connected. Set the phone to Internet Connection mode (CHARGE ONLY not Mass Storage).
> Download "LG_Esteem_Root.zip" at: LG Cell Phones Blog. Unzip the file and double-click on the run.bat file.
Note: Kaspersky Internet Security will flag this file as a Trojan: "Exploit.Linux.Lotoor.ag" I don't believe this file is a Trojan, per se. I believe it's required during the root process. When I let Kaspersky eliminate the file, my phone wouldn't root. So I decided to run the root program on a secondary computer, just in case. I disabled Kaspersky temporarily on that computer, and ran the root zip and my phone rooted without a hitch. I later scanned my phone with Webroot Security and AVG, and neither found any viruses on my phone, so I believe the process is safe. Technically, rooting your phone probably does involve a Trojan hack, hence why Kaspersky flags that file. However, I must reiterate to proceed at your own risk.
Just in Case -- How to Unroot Sprint LG Marquee:
Use root explorer and delete superuser.apk from the /system/app folder. Go to the Android market and download and install super user. Use root explorer again and delete su from /system/bin. Go to the market and uninstall super user. Do a factory reset & you will be back to square one.
Step 2 -- Verify that you have properly rooted your phone with this nifty free app: Root Checker Basic
If you did everything right, you should get a message that says "Congratulations, this device has root access." If you fail to get that message, go back to Step 1.
Step 3 -- Download the Android WiFi Tether for root users app
Currently, the only version of Android WiFi Tether that worked for me was 3.1-beta7. The newest version doesn't work properly with tablets, so be sure to get 3.1-beta7. Here's a link and QR code for easy access: WiFi Tether 3.1-beta7 apk
Step 4 -- Configure WiFi Tether app:
I've tried many settings, but these are the only ones that have worked. Start the app and grant Super User Permissions. Then Click Menu to get into the app's setting. Inside the Settings, do the following:
> Change Device Profile to: Samsung Galaxy S
> Change Setup Method to: Netd (Master)
> Enable WiFi Encryption: Check box to Enable
> Change Pass Phrase to: any 13 digit password of your choice.
> Change SSID to: any name of your choice.
> Change Channel to: 4 (2427mhz)
> Disable Update Check: Check box to Disable.
> Click your phone's Back Arrow to Exit back to the app's Main Screen
> Touch the WiFi button onscreen to start tethering.
> Grant Super User Permissions
Note: If you get Error Code 67, Click Dismiss. If you update, I don't know what will happen; my guess is it will disable the ability to tether. But if I click Dismiss, my tethering is Enabled, and works perfectly.
Step 5 -- Grab Your Tablet & Start Tethering
> Go to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Check the box to Enable WiFi > Click WiFi Settings > Under WiFi Networks, find the SSID for your tethering app that you entered in Step 4 above. > Click on the SSID of your tethering app > Enter the 13 digit Pass Phrase you created in Step 4 above and Click Connect.
That's it! Congratulations -- your tablet should now be tethered to your cell phone!
Now that you're tethered to your cell phone, be smart, and DON'T download a ton of gigabytes. Just be smart about it, and you should be fine. Remember, tethering to your cell phone probably goes against the terms of service with your cell phone carrier, so DON'T abuse the privilege.
Now that you're the envy of all your friends, why not test your data speeds: SpeedTest App - FreeMy data speed test results with my Toshiba Thrive tablet tethered to my LG Marquee:
Download: 855kbps Upload: 302kbps
That's pretty great for a 3g no-contract cell phone with unlimited data.
Happy tethering everyone!
Go forth and Androidify!
Hugs, Kaio

HP Deskjet 2540 - connect to pc via USB, can I print from android tablet as well?

Hi,
I've just bought a HP Deskjet 2540 all in one printer.
I have set it up via USB connection to my windows 7 pc, and it is printing fine.
I also have an android tablet. Can I also print from this whilst using the printer via USB on my pc.
Any help on if this is possible and what steps I need to do if it is would be appreciated (I have been reaeding the help section on the website but I am just getting more confused).
Lesley

Hi @Lesley54R,
You don’t need to have the printer listed with the two different connections unless you’ll be switching back and forth from being connected by USB cable and wireless. You can delete the one you don't think you'll be using.
To print the web page, please use the browser found within the app. I’ve included the ePrint Mobile App FAQs document for your reference.
In addition I’ve also included the ePrint Product Specifications document. This document has the list of supported email programs, file types and print limitations.
Hope this helps!

When I try to scan from printer to Android tablet it comes up Computer not Found. Install Printer Software.I have got HP Remote All in One app and eprint app installed. On my settings it shows the plug in app and the printer name and model. What else do I need to do to get this to scan from front panel of printer to tablet???

Hi,
Firstly you can't scan from your printer to your tablet, you have to scan from your tablet. Please touch the "wheel" at the top right corner and change dpi to say around 200 and try again.

Fios remote app on android wifi only devices?

So many people these days have a tablet. Some ipad, some android. I Dont know how this topic1 applies on ipad because i do not have one.
But i have an android tablet which is wifi only. The fios remote app for android is wifi only. I cannot use it on my phone unless i am connected to wifi.
So why am i asked for the last 4 digits of my phone number?
Unless someone has a workaround for this, i cannot use the app. And to me it would be pretty cool to use this tablet as a remote. Plus i could show my pictures on tv.(assuming that function is stil there)
Ive tried a google voice number but no dice.
So does anyone know whats going on with this?
Any employees with answers?

How do I direct my HP 5510 e-all-in-one scan output to an Android tablet

How do I direct my HP 5510 e-all-in-one-printer scan output to an Android tablet? My printer is connected to my wireless network. During the printer setup I was able to identify both my desktop and laptop computers as "scan to" computers and they both appear as destinations on the printer display. I have been able to direct the printer scans to these two computers without problems. But I have not been able to find a way to direct the scan output to my Android tablet (Android Honeycomb 3.2.1). I have downloaded and use HP ePrint Home and Biz app and can print from the tablet. This app does not appear to offer a way to direct the printer scan output to be sent to the tablet. Any suggestions???
This question was solved.

Hi,
Currently, HP does not provide any scanning solution for Android OS.
Scanning from the front panel will allow you to scan to a computer only, and not to any mobile OS.
I would suggest you to search the Android Market for any 3rd party scan application, as the HP ePrint Home & Biz app currently provide scan capabilities for Apple iOS and Nokia Symbian as you may find listed below:
