Anyone in the know care to look at the leaked skype apk to get it to work on the galaxy tab?
Installation currently fails and it seems to only work on HTC phones but there must be a way to get it to work on the tab right?
some guys are looking to modify the leaked apk to be able to use it on other devices, but there is nothing working yet.
Here is the xda thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1031944
I think someone needs to make something like this a sticky I answered 4 threads in the past week with people asking this question.
Well i saw a chery tab brand of china and its using android os. And it has a skype application with video call.

Two apps i want to know if there is a port or an .apk file for the galaxy tab
1st- T-mobile tv app
I found a version of it for g2 that did work but it is smaller then the screen even with spare parts. I'm wondering if there is a version of it for the tab or even a port from another t-mobile tablet that will work
2nd- Burn notice graphic novel
on the panelfly website it says that there is an android app out for select android devices and one some sites i looked at had it showed on a Samsung galaxy tab. I looked at the market place and couldn't find it and wondering if anyone has found the .apk for it.
If anyone can help me find either one of these apps for my galaxy tab lots of thanks will be given.
Try reposting it in the alps section

Hi dear!
I'm currently using Nexus S but I want to get galaxy tab!
I used to have iPad 1g and it was quite useful for study and web browsing.
I miss my iPad right now but I have not budget t.t
So I just want to get galaxy tab as a phone and a tablet pc.
I have some questions so please answer me asap before I make a decision!
1. how is the battery life? (compare to smartphone such as nexus s)
2. How is the internet browsing? (compare to iPad, does it have lag when scrolling?)
3. as a phone, is it okay? (I heard when calling, can use a bluetooth earphone)
4. is it fine to read pdf files? (as I'm a student so I need to read some pdf files and ebooks in galaxy tab.)
5. Skype has been updated hence is video chat working on galaxy tab?
Please reply me I don't mind whether or not it will be updated to honeycomb if it works well as a phone, an ebook reader and a multimedia device.
oh should I root it for better performance or is it okay with a stock rom?
1. 8 hours flat out depending how you use it 2-3 days if you leave it alone.
2. Depnds what browserdolphin browser hd is the fastest.

3.as a phone its ok if you use earphones or handsfree but impractical without them as you have to hold it upside down with the screen pointing away from you.
4. Yes you can as long as you get all the free adobe stuff of the market.
5. Yes you can video chat now although it's a bit pixilated and laggy.
6. If you want extra functionality or to install custom roms boot animations and have full control over it, root it with superoneclick, you can get superoneclick from shortfuse.org
NOTE: ROOTING WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

Okay thanks for reply
but I saw the stock browser on gingerbread is blazingly fast!
should I use the third party app?
Btw, I read that if I root, I can also do video chat on google talk, is it right?
two more! handsfree is in the original package or have to buy?
lastly, after rooting, how can I update OS although we dont know exactly when it will come out?
Stock browser is very fast but isn't tabbed and dolphin browser is which is slot faster.
Earphones with a microphone come with the tab but handsfree kits come separately and you don't need any kind of special one just one with bluetooth.

Yes you can video chat as long as the other person has a pc with a webcam or a rooted device with goggles talk on it.
For the last one that's a question to go to the development section but all I know is you need to get the files from there and flash them with odin there will usually be a guide that comes with it.
Hope you buy a galaxy tab or you might consider galaxy tab 10.1 (the ipad slayer)

Seems you could get your question solved with gtab which has low budget

I love my Tab. Do lots of surfing and reading on it. It's the perfect size (for my uses anyway.) Don't have any plans to replace my phone with it though, so can't say as far as those aspects go. If you can find one for $200 or less, it's a steal and well worth the money.
Definitely

Thank you for reply.
But in New Zealand where I live, tab p1000 brand new is still 640 and only wifi version is 500. Is it worth if I use it as what I stated on the above? Hm..

i recently got my samsung galaxy tab and it's the best device i had ... with custom rom i use overcome rom and the battery life is really great .. the best size for a tab as you can hold it with one hand while going out and even to use it as a phone .. many many apps and games are optimized for it ... great Tablet indeed ..
I apologize in advanced if this question has been asked before but, I did a search and didn't find what I was looking for. Also, I been away from xda for awhile.
Was wondering if there's a fix or another app out there to solve captivates gps issue without root? I remember before that telenav for the vibrant (I believe) worked on the captivate very well. Tried to go to the site but it is not thier anymore.
Thanks.

[GPS][BETA] pb3 GPS Tweaks for Samsung Gingerbread
Hi everyone,
I've been lurking on the xda forums since I had a pocket pc in 2007/8, but I rarely post at all. Though I think its amazing how prolific the users are on the forums. However, I have been surfing the Galaxy 900a forum for quite a while, reading on updates about the phone's rom, bootloader lockdown and the like. it's a bit unfortunate we won't be able to use the phone, like the galaxy s2 (Still my favorite phone to date).
So I have a question for everyone: Is anyone actually using the modified touchwiz roms found in the android development, or are you using stock with root? And I guess a followup question I'd like to ask is, if you're okay with how the phone's android development turned out. Just curious.
Thanks,
Americo24
I'm just fine running the stock rooted deodex. I use TiB to freeze most of the Samsung/ATT apps and replace the launcher and keyboard to Apex and SwiftKey respective. In the past I had a Nexus 4 and ran Paranoid Android, so I've used both flavors of Android. To me as long as it works good I'm happy!
