Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Skype Problem.

Hi there, I recently got this Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 for free with the purchese of my mom and dad's phone. Now I tried to install Skype throught the Google Play Store, it installed and what not, but everytime I launched it, it just wouldn't load after I put my username and password in. It would just simply try to boot itself, then reboot. Any suggestions on how to fix this? or any reason behind it?
Also I've tried many times installing it and using a differet Skype account. Obviously none of these have worked.

Same here... when I first downloaded and tried to run it it did this thing where the skype logo with the blue screen kept loading over and over again in an infinite loop without even giving me a chance to sign in. Then after I reinstalled it, the login screen finally loaded ok but everytime when I try to sign in it accepts my password, but then takes me back to the original login screen, again and again. I really wish they work this bug out ASAP.

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.

I recently received a samsung galaxy tab 4 nook? and no matter what i cant sign in adobe keeps saying my iinfo is wrong yet i can sign on here whats the issuee and how can i fix it

I've tried resetting the password that doesn't work no matter what I try

I wish I had an answer, but the same thing is happening to me. Can I go back to the old version of Digital Editions, please? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Update: While I didn't answer the question above, I did manage to fix my problem. Here is the background: My old Nook was a Nook Color, which, while it was greatly loved and semi-intelligent, it wasn't a tablet. When I connected it to my computer, it was recognized as a device and showed up in Digital Editions. My library uses Overdrive to handle the borrowing and download/reading functions. When you borrow a book, you downloaded it to your computer, opened it in Digital Editions, and then did a "drag and drop" into your Nook. I had assumed that when I got my new Samsung Galaxy Tab Nook, it would work the same way. I had not adjusted my thinking to realize that the Tab is a true computer with an operating system (Android) such as that on my laptop. I was trying to fix the problem with the DRM authorization using every other ePub reader that I could find (installing the app and then attempting to open the book) and nothing worked. I finally got a message that clicked saying "You do not have rights to open this book" rather than the unhelpful message that I got from Digital Editions saying "Error! Check Authorization". I looked at my library's website and caught the notification that Overdrive has an app. I downloaded and installed it, connected to my library, logged in using my library card number and everything was there. Now, instead of downloading to my laptop and then moving the book to my Nook, I directly connect to my library's website and download the book to my Galaxy Tab. I could read directly in my browser (provided I was connected to the internet) but downloading ensures that I can read the book in any situation.
This absolutely does not fix the problem in the question above, nor does it answer why my old method worked for exactly two and a half books and then stopped working, but at least I learned something and I have a solution that means my Galaxy Tab can be used for the primary function of my old Nook, that of packing library books with me no matter where I am in a lightweight, easily read format.

Unable to preview folios in Adobe Content viewer using Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (SM-T210)

Hi,
I am using Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (SM-T210) Android Version 4.1.2 .The folios were not displayed and I only get a black screen, despite the fact that I was able to download the Adobe Content Viewer latest android version (3.3.0.0.87854), the Android device was detected by Adobe CC, able to load the folio into the device. I tried re-installing the app, but it did not work.
It may also help to mention that I can't view the DPS Tips App files, also. I was able to download the app and its documents (folio basics, etc.), But the same black screen is displayed when I try to read them.
Are there any programs that I have to download for it to work? Please help.
Thank you for reading.

Our testers looked at this and saw the same problem. Updating the OS firmware of the Galaxy Tab 3 resolved the issue.

Request for Admin-BBY Sticky Post for new Trade In & Trade Up Samsung Galaxy Tab S $50 Offer Details

Considering some of the problems that people have had in trading in their qualifying working tablets not in Best Buy's trade-in system for a minimum $50 Best Buy Gift Card during the ending Surface 3 promotion... would it be possible for Admin BBY to post a new sticky message for the new promo starting today for trading in any non Nook/ereader tablet without screen/water damage that turns on for a $50 gift card and coupon for $50 off the Samsung Galaxy Tab S? It would be valuable to know if any of the terms of the trade-in have changed, and to head off questions about the inability to use more than one coupon per tablet purchase before you are inundated with complaints..
Thanks in advance! Nothing gets me into a brick and mortar store more assuredly than the promise of a discount off a coveted new piece of technology!

Hello StellaDallas-
It’s definitely concerning when customers are experiencing disappointments with one of our promotions and I can certainly understand your desire to see something posted on our community to help head off any future issues.
The stores are provided with all the information that they need to process these promotions correctly and hopefully, we have also learned from any past mistakes as well when putting them together. Right now, you can find all the details of the Samsung Tab 3 trade-in promotion here. From what I can see, it seems to cover all the details of the promotion very well, including stating that only one coupon can be used per transaction.
Otherwise, as far as I can tell, the promotion is identical to the Surface 3 promotion, with the caveat that the trade-in must be used towards the purchase of a Samsung Galaxy Tab S.
Thanks for connecting with us!

Device Configuration for Samsung Galaxy Tab?

Longtime Flex/AIR developer here, but first time developing for Android.
Want to build for Samsung Galaxy Tab. In Flash Builder Burrito, when creating a Run Configuration, there's a list of devices to target. But the Galaxy Tab isn't one of them. Which one should I use? Or do I just create one and enter the right dimensions etc? Is there any information associated with those device configurations besides the pixel dimensions and pixels per inch?

Try the nearest match in terms of resolution. Also if you design your controls with relative size (%age based or relative to a fixed initial size), it shouldn't be a problem on device. There is also a blog post which may help you in writing your app: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flex/articles/writing_multiscreen_air_apps.html

Videos on Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.

I have the problem that Videos won't play on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. No difference if they are inline or full-format. Of course they are mp4 with .h264 encoding. I also tried the "handbreak" settings "Android Mid" and "Android High" with no success.
Btw the Videos play well on the old Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 and on the 7.7.
Has anyone figured this out?
Thanks, Christian

alright, I tried like 100 different things and here's something that works.
I put my video in After Effects (so I guess you can do the same with media encoder, but at least here I'm SURE it works fine)
Put your video in a 1280*720 comp
resize it as you want inside the comp
then render with these settings (ok it's in French but just transpose in the boxes)

Samsung Galaxy Tab Orientation/aspectRatio Bug

Hi there,
we developed an App and defined <aspectRation>portrait</portrait> in the descriptor xml.
We also set:
<autoOrients>false</autoOrients>
        <fullScreen>true</fullScreen>
        <visible>true</visible>
        <softKeyboardBehavior>none</softKeyboardBehavior>
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 gt-p3110 with Android 4.2.2 seems to ignore this setting and so the app always crashes.
We tested it with Android 3.7 and 3.8 beta.
Perhaps this is also the issue why the App becomes rejected on Samsung Apps...

Its been awhile, but if I remember correctly the Galaxy Tab's default orientation is Landscape where as most devices, certainly phones, tend to have their default orientation as Portrait. So my code actually detects Portrait mode as:
var isPortraitView:Boolean;
public function setIsPortraitView():void {
    // Each device, for AIR or for Android, can choose either Landscape mode or Portrait mode as the DEFAULT.
    // This means there is no system property to check for portrait mode, so we'll create our own.
    isPortraitView = (stage.fullScreenWidth < stage.fullScreenHeight);
The apps I work with auto orient which won't happen if you set the Aspect ratio to Portrait or Landscape - regardless of how the AutoOrient flag is set. Setting the aspect ratio to auto just removes the line entirely from the app descriptor file.
So my app at start up determines and sets isPortraitView and then checks the stage.orientation property against it like so:
// Interpretes the given orientation against the given aspect ratio
public function getIsPortrait(orientation:String, aspectR:Boolean):Boolean {
     var view:Boolean = false;
     switch (orientation) {
        case StageOrientation.DEFAULT:
        case StageOrientation.UPSIDE_DOWN:
             view = aspectR;
             break;
        case StageOrientation.ROTATED_LEFT:
        case StageOrientation.ROTATED_RIGHT:
             view = !aspectR;
             break;
        case StageOrientation.UNKNOWN:
        default:
             break;
     return view;
Later when my app gets orientation change events I use the above method to decode them. Remember though that as the device physically rotates clockwise the orientation events are received counterclockwise - think of it as a bubble on a level.
Also there can be a problem with apps not reporting their capabilities correctly when first starting up. So my code actually takes it one step farther and when first setting isPortraitView I also use it to correctly set internal properties for width and height like so:
// Capabilities reports screen resX and resY based on the mode the app starts in
if (isPortraitView) {
    screenResLandscapeWidth = Capabilities.screenResolutionY;
    screenResLandscapeHeight = Capabilities.screenResolutionX;
else {
    screenResLandscapeWidth = Capabilities.screenResolutionX;
    screenResLandscapeHeight = Capabilities.screenResolutionY;
Also lets say I have an app with a stage width and height of 600x400 on a device with a 1280x800 screen. I finally had to hardcode these values as some devices would report stage.fullScreenWidth as 600 and at other times report it as the device's screen width of 1280. So I recommend always having your app configure its own internal properties at startup and then have your code only refer to those properties. That way if there's a problem with your app receiving bad data it's much easier to isolate it and code a workaround.
I hope that helps.

Wifi for samsung galaxy tab

Hi I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy tab through Verizon and downloaded Skype on it. I only have a 2g monthly data plan and was wondering how if any I can purchase wifi or something to use with it. Thanks Missy

I believe the wifi only version will be available through Best Buy. I think it was delayed through. Maybe by late November or early December?
BTW I would suggest you remove your phone number from your device description. Everyone can see it.

Wrk54g and Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1

When I try to connect the galaxy to the wireless network, the tablet shuts down (to the start page, unlock page) when it is searching for the ip address for the network. The firmware is 1.55.02. Cannot get upgrade as not available from Cisco. Anyone had this problem and found solution? Have disconnected all other devices from the network in case there is some interference problem.

Does the problem is only with the Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 or it happens with the other wireless devices? You can try out the following steps:
# Open up the browser and on the address bar type 192.168.1.1 that will open up the Router setup page…
# Then Click on wireless Tab and select you can make Standard Channel to 6, 9, 11... Click Save Settings...
# Then click on Advanced Wireless Settings, change Beacon Interval to 75, Fragmentation Threshold to 2306, and RTS Threshold to 2307...
Try out these settings once and then check the connectivity….

Printing from samsung galaxy tab 3

Hi I have a samsung galaxy tab 3 and was wondering how do I print from it as I have a HP photosmart C4680 printer, can this printer be used?

Hi,
This topic is covered by another thread here, which indicates that the printer is not e-Print enabled so you won't be able to print to from your Galaxy Tab.
You'll find a list of e-print enabled printers here.
