hi

how to remove the extra home screen

wish to show me how

thanks in advance

[sanjamagha]

How do you stop the background running apps ??? Please help

[slobdogg1211]

@sanjamagha First question: Why are you trying to stop them? If they are chewing up battery life, either set the refresh interval on the app to the longest time possible, or just uninstall it (it's probably a poor app anyway if it's eating away at your battery).

The Android OS handles background applications with more efficiency than people credit it with. WIth that said, if you really want to close background apps just search the Market for a task manager. Just don't set it to auto-kill tasks.

how you get the splitted keyboard?

[slobdogg1211]

@MrUnsuspiciousName Thumb Keyboard available in the market.

[FatherRhei]

How do you create folders :S ?

[slobdogg1211]

@FatherRhei I use a file manager called Astro. It works great for me. You can use it to create and edit folders and files.

[slobdogg1211]

@FatherRhei If you are referring to folders on the homescreen, you'll need to add it as a "Shortcut"

[Msspinnerb8]

thanks. where did u get your wallpaper? really cool

[slobdogg1211]

@Msspinnerb8 Thanks! I can't post links, but if you do a google image search for android wallpapers you'll find it rather quickly.

[slobdogg1211]

@Msspinnerb8 Thanks! Just do a search for Android Wallpapers and you'll see it in Google Images, not too far down.

[cinderbain]

this was great info. for me. I just received my Galaxy tab 10.1 a few days ago and do not know much about it. I will watch this video several times I am sure.

@mikeyiscoolable If your contacts are stored via Google then they will automatically sync when you sign into the tablet with your Google account. The same goes for Gmail, Music, Calendar, Picasa Photos, purchased apps, Books and Movies all stored in your Google account.

If your contacts on your Android phone are being stored on the SIM card, you will need to export them and import them into Google.

my ass? oh apps

[EnigmusBruticus]

Hi, love the work. Question: How come the black bar (using minimalistic text > static text) doesn't show on the screen after I click 'ok'? The bar is saved but it doesn't show on the screen. (Sometimes it does show on the screen. Using ADW launcher ex in a galaxy tab 10.1, 3.1 Honeycomb) Thanks in advance.

[TheMasterglitches]

does upgrading to honeycomb have a chance to brick ur tablet?

becouse i get a new 1 tomorrow i never had 1 and i readed u got market and it got mutch faster with this.

i just wanna know is there any chance my tablet will brick?

[slobdogg1211]

@TheMasterglitches It depends on which tablet you are getting. This Galaxy Tab 10.1 has Honeycomb preinstalled, while the original Tab (7") is on Froyo and may not have a Honeycomb version available.

What tablet are you getting tomorrow?

[TheMasterglitches]

@slobdogg1211 i got today the hannspree hannspad. i can install honeycomb too, so its faster and android market installed.

but idont want have chance of bricking..

[ComputerTech999]

so glad i am buying this today for my bday been waiting for months =D

[123vlog1]

i typed lol and this whati get ha hahaha

[clanpsi]

It's VERY important to note: If you have a limited 3G/4G data plan, opening a full-web webpage uses a LOT more data than it's mobile counterpart.

[slobdogg1211]

@clanpsi didnt think of that, but very good point!

[PARRA090]

@slobdogg1211 yey i recomend u to use opera mobile, and with opera link it's awesome! xD

[1979danjo]

can you get this on a upgrade i have 2.2 still need help on how to upgrade?? i have a 10.1 samsung galaxytab

[slobdogg1211]

@1979danjo somewhere you are mistaken. maybe you have a 7" tab on 2.2? The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 are all on Honeycomb (3.0+). Go to settings --> about tablet to view your OS version.

[MrTanchinchian]

Hi, can i know what's that keyboard?

[slobdogg1211]

@MrTanchinchian Thumb Keyboard

[zeroluis1]

great help!!! my flash wasnt working!!! Learned a lot. But i did the debug for the AU link. However I am still sent to the mobile versions on the web.

[slobdogg1211]

@zeroluis1 some devices have a hard time making the change to the USString "stick" There may be hacks that you can find to overcome that, though, depending on your device.

I have the newest TouchWiz update as of 8-20-11. But the problem I'll describe happened even before that:

It's impossible to view NON-YOUTUBE embedded videos properly on any certain sites when in Android mode. When you click on an embedded non-Youtube video on a site like "io9" (a scifi blog), for instance, you end up with a "play" button stuck in the middle of the screen during playback, but it works fine in Desktop mode. But, in Desktop mode, embedded Youtube vids become unclickable.

Great vlog. Headed to Best Buy this weekend. I'm sold! HTTR!

[ToDaHeZy]

I encourage everyone to watch the whole video but 7:30 is definitely a great tip! THANK YOU!

[WRAYPERRON]

[Sugworld]

how do i make adw ex my default?

[santaana36]

Best demo/overview of honeycomb on youtube despite the crazy camera work.

[FilipinoNikki]

LOL "bam bitch.. it is a microphone."

[darkdog4440]

Do you have any tips for the wallpaper cause I can only fit a certain resolution cutting off most of the picture is there a solution?

[drawnhere]

@darkdog4440 Use "Wallpaper Wizardrii." It allows you to make the image you choose without cutting anything off. It's in Android Market.

Sometimes, when using the app, you need to close the the app and re-open it, to get ALL of your pictures in your picture files to show up in the application. Then just choose a photo, choose "set," and "scrollable" or "non-scrollable," whichever you prefer, and it will put the image on the Tab perfectly. I use it on my phone, also, by the way. Works great.

[backshotmaster]

Love the tips and tricks, but yea invest in a cheap tripod so we dont have to have brain spasm's trying to keep focusing on your shaky video! Can't wait to try some of the tips and tricks i learned from your vid on my new Thrive!
