Galaxy Tab Voice

I am just curious why the carriers decided to give consumers in the US the shaft on this device. Will this be the policy for future tabs as well? Is this your way of trying to force people into keeping up with 2 devices?
I really dislike the whole law suit mania that happens here some times, but I really hope someone gives the carriers that made this decision the shaft.

Yep, 2 devices, means 2 lines, and a higher ARPU. It's called Capitalist Protectionism, and it's a crucial element in the American Corporate Business Model. They didn't want to offer voice plans on this device so as not to canibalize smartphone sales, data plans only so they ripped the phone dialer out.
But...that's ALL they did. If you look in the settings menu > wireless networks. At the bottom is a PRL update/activate phone function. What that is, is a phone dialer pre-programmed to *228 that calls verizon and does what *228 option 1 on a smartphone does. Pretty music, robo-lady, SPL unlock, the whole bit. So the phone WORKS.
Also, XDA Developers have managed to reflash T-Mobile's Tab with the Euro version of the unit's HSPA radio software, and guess what...the dialer works on that Tab too. Only problem there is the Euro 3G bands are different frequencies than T-Mo's AWS band so no 3G when you install that radio. But again, the phone WORKS.
So I suspect before too long someone will write a dialer that works with VZW's Tab and put it in the Market. Or if enough pressure is put on the carriers, they might issue an update with the dialer eabled on smartphone plans. It's all up to you folks. So get on the stick and scream.

  • Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro

    I was told that Adobe Cloud Services (apps like Photoshop) could run on tablets like Samsung's Galaxy Tab PRO model and/or the Note Pro. Is this true? Anyone know?

    People sometimes use the term Photoshop quite loosely and most people assume the full Photoshop software when it is mentioned.
    However Photoshop can mean:
    Photoshop (Windows or Mac only)
    Photoshop Elements (Windows or Mac only)
    Photoshop Touch - Mobile, iOS, Android photo editor | Download Adobe Photoshop Touch
    Photoshop Express - Android,Windows 8 (Windows 8 tablet and desktop only),iOS
    Photoshop Mix (iPad)
    So, you cannot run the majority of Adobe software on your Samsung mobile device - only those specifically written for the Android operating system - currently Photoshop Touch and Photoshop Express.

  • 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

  • How do I stop Firefox for Android from popping up the on-screen keyboard when loading a page with a search box on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2?

    When I go to certain sites on the web which have search boxes, Firefox will pop up the onscreen keyboard as the page load completes, without me doing anything to focus the search box. It's annoying to have to tell the keyboard to go away each time before I can navigate in the page.
    I specified the device I am using (Galaxy Tab 2 7 inch) because it uses a nonstandard keyboard applet, called simply the Samsung Keyboard, which could be doing something different than the regular Android one. I don't have the option of switching to the stock Android keyboard.

    That won't help iamjayakumars. That pref blocks popup windows on load. The keyboard is not a popup window.
    This behavior happens because the website sets focus to a text box on the page. Firefox is following the standard behavior for desktop browsers.

  • How can i install firefox 10 on a galaxy tab 10.1?

    I have firefox 10.0.5 on two galaxy tab 10.1, and would like to install it on 4 more tabs, but the current version of firefox is not compatable. How can I get firefox 10 on these newer devices. I is the most stable browser in spotty mobile coverage areas.

    '''the-edmeister''', before the mobile Firefox 14.0 came out the previous Release was actually '''mobile Firefox 10.0.5esr''' as there were no 11.0, 12.0, 13.0, releases as they were Betas test builds only and for 14.0 it went to native Android UI framework and the tablet ui was still a work in progress.

  • 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. Please search on the idea exchange and cast your vote. There may be another member who made the same suggestion.

  • HP Deskjet 2540 and Galaxy Tab 3 - cannot print wirelessly

    Hello
    I would be very grateful for help with the following issue.
    I have an HP Deskjet 2540 and a Galaxy Tab 3 (Android) and wish to print wirelessly from the tablet.
    I have installed the ePrint app and the ePrint All-in One Remote app on the tablet.
    In order to print I have to change the tablet's wifi connection from my home wifi to the printer's wifi which means that I cannot print straight from the internet.
    I have tried saving web pages and then printing i.e not using the home wifi but a message appears on the tablet saying " Connect to Samsung printer".
    My question is therefore, how do you print when you can only have one wireless connection on the tablet at a time i.e either the home wifi or the printer? Every time I want to print, do I have to change the wifi connection on my tablet from my home wifi to the printer's?
    Many thanks in advance!

    Hi Sujo,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums.  I gather that you are unable to print web pages from your Android Galaxy Tab 3 tablet because you are using the printer’s wireless direct feature which does not have internet connectivity. 
    Let’s get the printer connected to your home wireless network.  If you have a computer running a Window or Mac operating system it’s fairly easy to connect the printer.  Please follow the steps in the Installing the Printer Software for a Wireless Network Connection document for the operating system that is running on your computer.
    If you only have your tablet available, please follow the steps in the post by @Jon-W titled “How can I setup a Deskjet 3050a/J611 to my Chromebox?”.  Please start where he says “There is another alternative but it can be hit or miss”. 
    Once you have the printer connected to your wireless network you should be able to print web pages as both devices will now be connected to your wireless network.  Please let me know how it goes.
    Regards,
    Happytohelp01

    Hi all
    I'm really pleased to announce our photo competition winner, congrats to StuartRogerson - one Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 will be on Santa's sleigh with your name on it shortly!
    But there's still one Galaxy 2 to be won in part two of the competition - see below for the winning photo from Stuart. We felt this picture best captured the feeling and meaning of Christmas - but what do you think? PM a caption for this photo to StephanieG or SeanD and we'll select the best as the winner, it should be something that captures the spirit of Christmas - it can be funny, seasonal or sentimental. Last day for submitting your captions is 23rd Dec (by 5pm) so get your thinking caps on, we're looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

  • I was ablet to download firefox on my galaxy tab several months ago, but now i can't get it on my coworkers tabs. how can i download to galaxy tab 10.1?

    I have firefox 10.0.5 on my galaxy tab 10.1. When we purchased more tablets last month, I have not been able to install firefox on them. It does not seem to be a supported device with the newest version of firefox mobile. How can I get firefox 10.0.5 or some other version of firefox that works on the galaxy tab 10.1? Firefox seems to be the most stable browser when there is an interuption in internet service. Is there a solution formy remaining tablets that don't have firefox?

    Hope it helps.

  • 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.

  • How do I get Firefox for Android to recognize the built in camera on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7plus running 4.0.4?

    The new Firefox works great on my Galaxy Pad, but does not recognize the built in camera allowing me to upload videos to the web. I do not have that problem with Dolphin.
    When I go to a website that allows me to upload videos and click on record, Firefox states that I do not have a webcam connected. The Galaxy Tab 7Plus has two cameras, one facing each direction. I do not have this problem with other browsers.
    Everything else is exemplary.
    thanks...............biff

    The native Android Youtube player does a much better job of handing video playback than embeded flash in a browser.
