[Q] How do you print with KitKat? - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl

My dads Note 10.1 2014 edition was recently update to KitKat (4.4.2). For a long time I was excited about the upgrade as there was supposedly a feature to print to any printer on a network even if the printer itself isn't ePirnt capable. Two apps we spefically use that we'd be interested in printing from is Quickoffice and EZpdf Reader.
There is an HP printer on my dads network. It is not "ePrint" capable.
What are our options to print to this printer from the tablet, now updated to KitKat?
Please note, rooting is out of the question.

It should just work. Select print from the app and this should pop-up.

Select Samsung Print and the Wi-Fi printer should be found.
The above are from N3 but my N10.1-14 works the same way.

I thought that should be the case. When I originally read about it a few months ago it seemed like a matter of Update to Kitkat> download/install service plugin for hp printers> go to desired office app (in our case QuickOffice)> open document > Print.
But alas... not print option :\

Search Play. There was a HP Printer plug in yesterday. But mine worked before the update too.

I had the same problem at first for my canon printer on my note pro 12.2.
However you need to install the Canon Print Service. It is an app in the playstore, that once installed does not display an interface or something similar.
You'll need to go to Settings>Connections>More networks>Printing and the Enable the Canon Print service.
After that my printer works.
See also:
http://play.google.com/store/search?q=printer service&c=apps&hl=nl
Google has a cloudprinter servcie that installs the same, and indeed you'll need to enable it at the same location.
If your printer is also cloud enabled it will then popup twice in the printers list when you want to print something in an app that supports the new printing framework.
Now i have a question for you:
Can you test to see if you can reproduce my problem:
i have an another user added to my note pro.
That user does not have the option in the Connections screen to choose More Networks.
And as such can not enable the Canon printer service.
And as a result can not print to the canon printer.
For the record, the main user can print to it, so everything is installed properly.
The second user can also install the printer service, he just can not enable it....
Samsung was clueless about this, i think it is an omission in 4.4.2 ...
I hope this is/will be fixed in later versions.
Anybody any info here ?
UPDATE:
I just checked with a Nexus 7 2012 (4.4.3) and this does not have the problem since the settings menu is layed out differently.
Any other user is able to access the printer screen and thus able to switch the printer service on.
Is this Samsung specific then ?

Digital Tv Tuner?

Anyone know if this is possible?
Basically I want to watch live tv on my xoom. I want to pull the signal straight from the airwaves and not use 3g or wifi etc. Anyone know any device that would do this for me? Basically something I could just plug-in and be able to watch live tv?
First, you'll need a tuner (mini PCI-E or USB) Then you'll need drivers to use that tuner, possible that a major tuner mfg could write them but then Google or a dev will need to build them into a distro. Finally, you need an app that can interpret the data received from the tuner.
The likelihood of all of these things coming together is unlikely due to the small market for such a tuner. I, personally, would love it.
TV on Xoom
I realize this is not the config you are looking for, but I purchased a DVR like box called a Vulkano made by Monsoon and basically it goes between your TV and the Cable box (and to your router). It then provides a feed to an app for android (free and/or paid) and tt literally controls your cable box remotely, and you can watch live TV, your saved shows, setup recordings, record to your device, etc.
I've tested on my Evo, Xoom, and A7, which all work.
However, the recent update to 3.1 caused the Xoom version to not work anymore, but the developers said a fix is coming soon.
While I was on 3.0 the HD channels on the Xoom were F-ing sweet!
The box was about $150, but there are multiple versions, and I bought this on a whim hoping it would just do DVR type functions, but went well beyond that.
I've run it over wifi, 3g, and tethered to 3g, and all have worked very well.
Again, maybe not the config you want, but this is nothing short of AWESOME!!
isnt that kind of like "slingbox" and how did you get it to work with 3g?
TV on Xoom
Pretty much exactly like Slingbox (I think, never used it), just cheaper and they have a free App for Android and Apple. There's a paid App version, but didn't bother since the freebie worked good for me. I use it on my Evo and eLocity A7 all the time via 3g and/or Tether. And until the HC 3.1 update I was able to use it on my Xoom via 3g. If you get a good signal or go wifi it will stream in HD, and looks killer on the Xoom. But alas, the developer needs to update it for HC 3.1, impatiently waiting for that!
Also I found that if you record thru the App, it stores it locally on whatever device you are using. I often use it on my PC, and then save it to my NAS drive for remote access later.
Like I said before, I was trying this out as a maybe option, and was totally stoked at what I got for $150, I think the slingbox doesn't quite do all this, and costs like twice as much for the Pro, and you still have to pay $25 for their App.
There is also 6 versions of the hardware to fit your budget and needs.
here you go, pick a channel and watch.

nice find. Not exactly what I was looking for.
I am looking for a dtv tuner that connects to the xoom. If anyone figures this out please post.
They had talked about a version of the Samsung Moment that would do this, not sure if it ever came state side or not. But that could take care of the tuner software side, then you would need a device and a driver, I remember having a winTV device at one point in time that worked in ubuntu with out any extra work...so there's definitely linux support for the type of device.

Live T.V
hey if there is any developers out there .. could you possibly try to get this to work for Xoom? I use to have an archos, and I was able to put live t.v on it .. but the system was modified for it, using URUKDROID.. I'm just wondering if we can just extract the drivers and use the T.V app that comes with this installation???
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=871391
Theres a blank header inside my UK3G Xoom, I'd love to get TV on the go, either by sticking a card in or perhaps hardwiring something to a USB header inside the device?
this?

pctv broadway 2T wifi and internet, great quality dvb
I own an old dreambox 500. It can stream live satelite signal . Also videos,mp3, remote pvr.etc. it didnt cost me more than 60 dlls. Ita not illegal if you put your smart tv card in this reciever. I can watch my tv since android 2.1 via stream and my xoom can run them without delay. Im trying to buy a dm800 or dm500hd i hear the stream is much smooth

Anyone know of a case with a keyboard that works with the Fire?

hi i've been looking for a while now and ive found a few 7' tablet cases with keyboards and was wondering if anyone has tried one with the kindle fire.
It's highly unlikely right now.
The chip set in the Kindle apparently supports Bluetooth, but Amazon chose to not enable it. There are talented devs at work to enable it, but nothing so far.
Bump
I am not the most tech savy person out there, but is there no other portable external keyboard that would be compatible with the KF that is not necessarily Bluetooth. I started school, and love using my KF for simple note taking, but i can only swype so fast lol, and would love to use it for faster and longer note taking.
Any suggestions or ideas would be great!

At the moment, no. The only options for keyboards are bluetooth and usb, neither of which are currently available on the KF.
You will either have to wait for a ROM that can support it (thus rooting and flashing your KF) or wait and see if Amazon will release an OTA which enables the support.

Get a stylus and use it on a journal type app? That's what I'm doing at the moment. Then I go home and type it all out on Evernote since it's a bit sloppy. I'm actually going to give Quill a try next week which supports Evernote too.
I dont know why amazon would have bluetooth and the other stuff that ppl would use disabled.
I think it only hurts the sell of the KF if you ask me, haha I wouldnt have the one I have if my wife wouldnt have gotten it.
It's unfortunate that this isn't possible yet, it's something I would really like to see.
so there isn't any keyboards that work over wifi that could work? That's kinds what I was thinking. I know its possible because I got a app that uses one aneroid device to control another over wifi.

Yes, there are apps that use a computer to do the same thing. HOWEVER, there is no such thing as a dedicated wifi enabled keyboard. Why? Because the speeds wouldn't be fast enough for daily usage. It'd be like using dialup, except that instead for webpages taking a minute to load up, it'll be all your keystrokes.
Wifi connections are good for home sharing files/music/video, but not for something that should only take .0000000000001 milliseconds. Lol.
Which is why Bluetooth and USB are the mainly used interface. They're faster, they are not dependent on your router, and are far easier to plug & play.
A little bump but is there anyway this thing can help?

Can I plug it in with a bluetooth usb, usb keyboard or 3g usb or whatever using the same thing?
I know the other tablets can do this but Im not sure kindle's roms support it
You cant use that cable, Kindle Fire doesn't support USB host. Developers are trying to make ICS work fully and neither bluetooth or USB host are priority to them.
Not yet.

Bumped into a RIM guy with a playbook. He was testing out a bluetooth enabled keyboard and showed it to me. Very nice.

Bluetooth Mini Keyboard

I connected my Bluetooth mini keyboard with Touchpad to the Note and I am happy to report it works perfectly. Volume control, touchpad mouse etc all work fine.
I bought mine from Tigerdirect. Mine is labelled as "Ultra eXo Bluetooth Mini Keyboard with Touchpad," however it appears to be exactly the same as the one in the link below.

Can you please tell me what are the uses and HOW OFTEN you will use?
Does it have buttons mapped to the Menu, Home, Back, and Search keys?
OP - I hope Tiger Direct accepts returns, because they overcharged you, BIG TIME. Get it from Amazon instead for less then half http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846
I have one from dealextreme (brand name Rii)
I'm using it when I'm connected to the work via Juniper SSLVPN. And I have a cheepo Galaxy Note mini holder... (from ebay, below $3) awesome
Meethere - The keyboard like this is great for business presentations. Connect the phone to hdmi and control from a distance. It has a laser pointer as well. I won't use it often but it will be very handy when I need it.
Xetaray - There are buttons mapped to menu, back and home. I never tried to find one for search. I will connect it again later and tell you.
Anymal - Amazon is cheaper, yeah, but shipping, and customs import duty and customs brokerage. Everyone on these forums is not in the USA. It was a spur of the moment purchase for a different device and I am sure $90 isn't going to make any difference to me. If I was going to go return it and then reorder, how much is my time worth? More than that. But thanks for pointing it out, very nice of you.

I had a chance to experiment for a few minutes, here are my results:
tab = search
esc = home
f1 = menu
f3 = voice command
f4 = power
right mouse = back

Is there any chance to remap these?
8?
good option if you use the phone a lot. Not for me

I just bought the same thing from tigerdirect, it works fine with my laptop. But I install the android.apk on the phone and when i try to activate the driver, it says:
"Activation failed. Please retry before using this software.
Application will now close."
I could use some help.
Did you allow installation from external sources in Settings -> Applications?
If so, did you also reboot and enable the keyboard under Settings -> Languages & Keyboards?

I don't have that keyboard, but I have a similar foldable with an integrated stand that only cost 1/4 of the iGo. That is a ridiculous price for a phone accessory. I'm sure you can find it for a lot less from other sources than Amazon.

I'm on ICS. I have unknown sources checked under "Security" in Settings. The Bluetooth Keyboard isn't showing up with the others under "Languages and Input".
It still keeps giving the same error message. I open the driver app, it says to authenticate, and the error message comes up immediately...as if it didn't even try to connect to Ultra's servers.

Without doin anything else, make your keyboard discoverable, go into Settings -> Wireless -> Bluetooth settings and do a Search for Bluetooth Devices. Make sure the keyboard is showing and then do a pairing.
After that set you keyboard to the phone's standard keyboard, go into a note taking (or Messenger) application, start to write with the on screen keyboard. If that works then try to write with the Bluetooth keyboard. If that doesn't work, tap on the screen until the inset cursor (usually with a blue arrow) appears, pusch Ctrl+Shift and then try to type. Shouldn't that work try Ctrl+Space instead.

Fill-able PDF forms on Tab 3?

Hi all
we are trying to switch our work computers over to tablets to increase efficiency.
our techs need to fill up their service ticket that are currently in PDF form. we made fill-able pdf forms using adobe pro and they fill it up on their PC
the problem is that if you open the same file on tab 3, it doesn't see it as a fillable pdf. it just sees it as a normal pdf and the only way to type info in it, is by opening a type box.
so this is my question for you, is there an app that will let us fill up pdf forms just like how you can do it on a computer?
any tweaks we can do?
i am testing on a tab 3 10.1 16gig wifi model.
all (useful feedback ) are appreciated with Thanks!
bump. anyone?
Which app are you using? I thought the Adobe app did it.

Adobe app does indeed do this on my Tab 3 8.0

Chrome on PC is fillable for me. Chrome on Tab just asks to download.
I believe this is the first year that this form was fill-able. Maybe the city is using a new version of software for authoring.

Sidesync - Confirmed by Samsung support as not yet compatible with S9

It is my first day back at work with my new S9. I have always found SideSync a handy tool, plug your phone in via USB and it will charge whilst displaying your mobile's display on your PC. I noticed that I couldn't connect via USB as I normally do and WiFi would connect via a hotspot but not our main network.
I have just finished a live chat with Samsung Support and after some testing, I was told:
"Thank you so much for patiently waiting. Upon checking, we do apologise but at Sidesync is not compatible with S9 at the moment. Samsung are working on it as soon as possible for more improvements."
Before contacting samsung, I tried:
-Re-installing SideSync on PC
-Re-Installing Samsung Mobile USB drivers
-Restarting PC
Samsung adviser asked me to try:
From the dialler on your device, enter *#0808#.
Under 'USB', select AP.
Under 'USB Settings', select MTP +ADB.

Doesn't look like it.
Samsung Flow requires Google Play Services whereas Sidesync does not, correct? That's a blow.

I have both Flow and SideSync installed in my PC (with Windows 10).
Flow is better than SideSync in almost all the things, but it's not able to mirror the screen yet.
for now i use teamviewer.... waiting for samsung flow ... btw. you can install samsing flow via samsung store. but there is no mirroring option

But I can not use flow with my tab a 10.1 with spen... I can install flow on my s9 and on my PC.
So how do I sync files between phone and tablet?
Thank you
I recommend Vysor Pro, if you have the cash and need the accessibility now. You need Google Chrome for the install I think, on your Desktop.
I use it, works for what I need to. Lets me control it via mouse & keyboard. Lets you change stream quality rate. Latency is next to nothing on the S9.
Supports Wifi and USB remote-in options.

Your other option is to get a DexPad or wait until Samsung Flow supports mirroring.
So... Just upgraded to a new phone. Now Samsung wants to force me to upgrade OS... Work PC, work laptop, home PC. Because Samsung Flow requires Windows 10. Way to go, Samsung. Alienate 43.4% of the PC user base. Or just take a step backwards and lose functionality that I already had with my old phone and current os's. Looks like I'll be trying a different solution this week.

And what about Mac users?? Flow only works on PC.
I gave flow a go but it just isn't as good as Sidesync, I would love them to bring it back.

Hey guys, i downloaded v 7.6.0-507 as an apk and installed it on my Galaxy S9. It worked, except that screen mirroring shows phone screen in landscape mode...
Best regards...
