Hello, i've just got a couple questions about Android itself and a device I recently bought.
Today I got a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 for the sole purpose of using it for study, I also bought a case/keyboard it. I also have a Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE-A. I'm wondering if there's a way for the two devices to "talk" together at all. I am also wondering on the tablet how to get rid of the "Quick Connect" option which is next to "S Finder" in the pull down menu from the top of the screen. I'm still somewhat new to Android, so any general tips would be great too. I've removed some bloatware from both of my android devices themselves, such as all of the Samsung pre-installed software.
Also any recommended apps too would be great and also some tips on how to use my tablet and get the most out of it. I've been a desktop computer person my whole life and I've built a few too, I just felt like a new change and I want to make the most out of it. I apologise if this is the wrong area to post in, it's just I have no idea where to ask for help.
Thanks.

2.2 do not support Chinese？
and will it？
Mine is Diamond，where I can find a lite rom for android.
232603 are you talking about the language support? wouldn't see any reason it wouldn't be supported in the future if it isn't already.
as for a literom, are you gsm or cdma? are you looking for a rom to boot android or dualboot android and winmo?

We haven't built it in. I'm sure we have it in the source though. once the builds start getting more stable i'll start adding those in. For now we just fixing bugs.
Bypass Google Accounts? Or alternatively set it up over a wireless network.
Howdy,
I have been watching the Android development for the Fuze with quite some interest for a while now, and it has made leaps and bounds over the past several months to the point where I decided to try it out.
It successfully booted into Android; however, I have data access to my phone disabled. This seems to cause the Google accounts set up to fail and causes some sort of infinite loop where it keeps asking to set up my account
Is there A) any way to bypass the Google Account set up and set it up later or B) jump on a wireless network (or alternatively jump to shell)?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

We've removed the SetupWizard and default provision so no more setup loop.

Hi, i've been using xandroid since last month and everything is running OK except the battery is draining and charging quickly (1-2 hours) which is pretty unusual for normal usage or charging.
What I've noticed that this can also happened even in sleep mode. Did there is any way to preserve battery power? Usually it can stand up to 8 hour on WM6.5 (gps, data connection on).
I am using HTC Touch Pro (RAPHAEL).
Anyway it was the greatest effort you have put to make this device running Android

It is truly a problem when you only get a couple of hours of usage and even on sleep mode. There must be something you're using that keeping the device awake. To test what happening you can use adb logcat and it will let you know which process is kept on running or you can start a new build and test every app individually. Its a lengthly process but in the end if will help you and allow you to achieve greater battery life in the long run.
remap hard keys? my hard keys on the front bottom of the phone don't seem to work other than directional. Is there a way to make them work for back and menu? or remap some keyboard key to back and menu?
i changed the wall paper and then got into the endless xdaandroind logo boot screen. WTF ???? lost everything because of a wall paper from the ROM gallery which suppose to be ok.
A couple of questions about 2.2:
1. Is there anyway we can get slide to answer back?
2. Has 3d been activated on this build?

ROM has no effect on Android, that we've found.
Sounds like you didn't copy the startup.txt... Did you follow all the directions?

Yep there are definitely some stability issues and will create an infinite loop. Until we get the builds more stable these issues will be present

Isn't slide to answer default? Otherwise we'll implement it in future builds
And yes 3d is activated in this build. From the very beginning of 2.2 and recently back into 2.1

First of all which device are you using and type?
This sounds like a very strange behavior and making a layout like this would be kind of useless. Does those buttons work in winmo?
yahoo issues?
ok guys weird problem. not sure if anyone else has it.
i use mail.yahoo.com at work. it has the chat feature. i use it to send text and msg's while at my desk.
i've noticed that since i've started using froyo, whenever my phone boots up or comes out of deepsleep, i get signed out of my yahoo chat with a message that i've been signed in somewhere else.
now i have no messenger on my device. i have yahoo mail through the stock android email app along with my gmail and exchange mail. i also have a yahoo news widget.
i have had my g/f send me a message after i am kicked out. on her messenger it lists me as mobile. i have never received a message from her on my device.
any ideas on this?
Has anyone tried the S beam on this? I may be handing down my S III to someone where using this might be worthwhile.
I did the settings on both phone to enable it, but have not been able to get them linked to transfer files. I have tried going both ways and get a popup of touch to transfer but it disappears fast and nothing is transferred. i had read that it is supposed to first ask permission to connect, but this does not pop up on either device.
I am wondering if in typical Samsung fashion, have they made the two devices S beams incompatible (like they did with Android beam)?

to use S-beam, both devices must have S-beam and wifi enabled, which means they both must be samsung devices (S3, note II for example). you then have to go to an app that supports sharing via NFC such as a picture from your gallery. after you touch phones you have to hold it there then tap and wait until it prompts you to separate the phone; i'm guessing this is the step that's being done wrong. if you separate too early the connection will never be established.

I have encountered the prompt to separate a few times, and I do so slowly (also been using stock gallery pictures) and still no transfer.
This took me a few rries with my new Note2's. Touch the backs, touch the image to transfer, and separate when it says to. Works pretty decent. Even cooler is photoshare. The wife and I went on a safari today and took about a hundred photos between the two of us and we both have all of them on both our devices. Badass Samsung!

What I am asking is does it work with other devices and not just two of the same? I would like to be able to do what you did with a Note 2 and Galaxy S III

My roommate has an S III and I have a note II. We are able to use S beam, but like I said, we needed to hold the phones there, tap, and wait for a prompt to say it's okay to separate the phones. Initially, we failed to beam because we were separating too early. Maybe you should also make sure you both have nfc/sbeam turned on as well as wifi?
Tried the Nfc with a Motorola razor maxx hd and it opens the play store on his phone every time I try to send a file... Why??

sounds like you're trying to send something from an app that he doesn't have. if i try to send my roommate a note from s-note, it will open the play store for him as it doesn't know how to negotiate the file. also note that i dont think you can send large files via nfc, i couldn't even send a picture.
Nfc transfer works with Nexus 7, fyi
Tmobile SGH-T889 using xda premium.
I do not have a SIM in my S III (It is in my note 2 now), but NFC and wifi transfer should not be affected.
I have carefully done all the settings on both devices and the few times I have gotten the "touch the image to transfer", I separated slowly when it said to and have yet to get a transfer. I was only trying to transfer one photo from the gallery. Tried it both ways.
Update. I realized I had the Perseus kernel installed so I flashed over it and now S beam works.
Update 2 - working fine with S 3 on a leaked LI8 ROM. Official JB S 3 update came out, and it is broken at S 3 end now - WTF.
Question - there is no S beam apk, so which apk is it included in?
I am using:
Galaxy Tab S 10.1 (SM-T800)
TMobile S5: Stock rooted late May build, Xposed is installed, Knox apps are disabled (about all the possible relevant things I can think of)
So I fire up Sidesync 3.0 on both devices to try out this much touted feature. I get connected just fine, but I cannot operate the phone's touchscreen at all from the tablet. There's just no response. However, the menu/home/back virtual buttons do work.
A search has turned up empty, which included trying one of the level one script readers from Samsung support. They literally had no information about tablet to s5 connections.
Disabled my exchange administrator thinking it's some security lockdown on my phone, but nope... removed my account, rebooted, didn't fix it. I'm out of ideas.
I figure this is the place to ask. I'm figuring I'm right.

All I can offer is to say that I had no trouble with my Verizon GS5 and my Tab S 10.5 (not 10.1). I controlled it a little yesterday evening. Even made a call through it from my tablet. I tend to keep my phone up on the bar and my tablet with me on the couch so I have sidesync on the phone all evening.

After some searching around I have found I am not the only one. I was very hopeful a minute ago when I found I didn't have the latest version installed on the S5, but it didn't resolve the issue.
I got this resolved. The issue was with the S5, not the tablet. I needed to install the June S5 update. Ran into a snag where I couldn't install the OTA, so, it was time to bite the bullet and flash a recovery and ROM. Did TWRP + BeansTown's stock rooted (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789850)
...and now it all works. A full restore from titanium and I'm right back in business, now with working SideSync!
Hi all,
I’ve just bought a 16GB 8.4 wifi model from Computer Exchange.
It’s come in a box with the initial start-up screen ask for log-in details, wifi password etc. I always make a point of skipping through this and then factory resetting the tablet just in case I spot anything odd.
This time, after the Android robot finishing with the reset, I saw an icon with a monkey’s face, and the message ‘Installing Applications’ before the tablet booted up to the normal initial set-up. Looking through the apps, this seems to be a Swiss app called ‘Teleboy’.
Obviously I found that rather odd. Doing some Googling – I think it might be an app that comes with Swiss Samsung tablets.
Is there any way to check nothing else odd is in there, before I stick all my passwords into it?

I believe it has a different country firmware or some sort though I can't be sure. I'm on the USA firmware and I haven't seen that on my T800 model. Can you go into settings -> general -> about device and tell me your build number etc. Thanks!

Looks like they included it in newer firmwares. I believe you have a different firmware from a different country. Different countries have different apps bundled in your device. I did some research about the teleboy app and it looks like an app for Samsung tvs. I believe you should be fine and if you want, you can disable it to be extra safe.
Here's where I looked at regarding teleboy. http://www.samsung.com/ch/smarthub/apps/app-03.html
It's a TV app in which Samsung included but probably isn't needed if you don't need it. Hope this helps!

Terrific - thanks for your help.
The Galaxy Note 10+ was my first android device in several years. I bought it to play with, intending to return it, and was immediately hooked and sold my iPhone instead. The feature that really sealed the deal for me was the screen mirroring in the MS "Your Phone" app. Yesterday I "upgraded" to the Galaxy Fold, only to discover that the screen mirroring I was so excited by only works on the Note 10+! I'm keeping the fold.. my old eyes just love the size of this device- but I'd really like to have that feature back. Anyone know of another answer that would allow me to use my desktop monitor / mouse / keyboard when I'm at the desk? You think they'll support the fold in future?
I hope they bring this feature to the Fold, I am baffled that it's lacking in the first place. I'd even settle for Dex if that were available.
Working here
The "Your phone app" is working fine here. Might try it again.

The app works, it just doesn't include the screen mirroring feature, that's what I'm lamenting. Or are you saying that's working with your Fold? Could you post a screenshot of that?
Sorry. just photo, messages and notifications here. not screen mirroring
You can do it with Samsung's own Sidesync app. I used to use it with my Note 8. It works flawlessly. Try it.

Install on both your Fold and your windows desktop.

Thank you! Sidesync didn't work well at all, but the installation on the windows side mentioned that it was being replaced by Samsung Flow, which I didn't know about at all. Flow works perfectly, so my issue is solved.
Thanks again.
