[Q] Tab 10.1 / How do you close a HC app?? - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am the proud owner of a new Galaxy Tab 10.1 and I have just come to the realization that I have to relearn a new OS.
It comes with Honeycomb (3.1) and I simply don't understand how you close an app?? If you back out of an app, it remains on the list of running apps.
Some apps have an EXIT menu option but others, like Gmail, don't.
Someone said it automatically controls this but the list of running apps gets quite long and how does it know which app to close?
Any help much appreciated!
Thanks!

[Q] Folders for organization?

Hi all,
Is it possible to make Folders on the home screen to place apps in for organization? I Know HTC Phones allow this, but I've never used a Samsung Android powered device.
Any advice would be great as I would love to organize my games and tools.
Thanks!
https://market.android.com/search?q=app+organizer&so=1&c=apps
those are collection of apps that can do so ... the market is full of this kinda of applications , also , if you use any launcher instead of our stock launcher lets say ADW . got this ability , but you can't put it in folders , but you can place which apps can be showing in the drawer or not to be showing
Thanks much! I will be trying one of these soon! While I'm at it, is there any way of changing the lock screen? I tried Widget Locker but they weren't formatted correctly for a tablet.
there is look screen like the one in Honeycomb , just look in the market for Ripple Lock its nice though , i bought the paid one and its a little bit buggy , but its cool
Trust me, The ONLY app you need to organize your apps into folders is Auto App Organizer.
You can automatically or manually organize all your apps into folders and are also able to create shortcuts to these folders on home screen aswell as change icons of them etc.
Its a [email protected] sweeeeeet app!
SiMi Folders works quite well and is very customisable
Lol, I just realized I'm in the wrong forum. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Thats why when you mentioned the HoneyComb lock screen, I was confused because thats the same screen I already use.
But regardless, all these tips and apps still apply, going to try them.
aww, Simi folder is not supported my the Galaxy Tab 10.1 it says in the market.
LMAO LMAO .. you know if we know that from the beggening , trust me you ain't gonna get SH*T isntead you'll get trolling ...
go go catch your tab10.1 section rofl
It was an honest mistake though, the forum names are really similar. And plus, I found 3rd Party Organization apps that i never knew existed via the market, so I'm very Greatful.
Thanks again all, not at all trying to troll.
no prob , have a visit from time to time you'll see stuff , you can't see it anywhere

[Q] Graphics Problems -AOSP Galaxian-Soup

Hi Guys,
I curently using the AOSP Galaxian soup ROM ([ROM][ICS][4.0.4][AOSP]Galaxian-Soup[GT-7310/7300][beta 1.7.3]) on my Galaxy Tab p7300.
I'm experiencing the following problems and wondering whether anyone can help me.
1. I play a lot of the Story games by Kairosoft. When I load any of the Kairosoft games, the text in the menus and top bar in the games are all in the wrong position. See attached screenshot. Is there any solution to this?
2. When i first loaded the ROM, it would reboot/hang quite a bit. The screen graphics would be fuzzy or jumbled which it would reboot or i would have to restart it. It doesnt seem to happen anymore. Is this due to this being a deodoxed ROM? Should i be concerned?
3. This is not a ROM issues or a problem per say. In the calendars app of ICS, i would like to sync more than the standard 30 days behind. In the options, there is an option for synching everything, this would not be an issue if it was for calendar, but it seems to apply to my email as well. This is huge as I am synching to my work exchange server. Is there any current workaround or do I have to live with it?
Thanks in advance to any help / advice given. I appreciate it.
AOKP Fixed the first and second problem.
Shudve just went Kang in the first place

[Q] Customizing the "Phone" app

Hello All,
I have just recently made the move from iphone 4 to Android. Galaxy Note is my first ever android phone and i must say i am impressed. Everything is working the way i want it to except one thing that just bugs the hell out of me.
I am still new to android so my phone is pretty default, meaning i have not modified any of the core things or in iphone terms, "jail-broken" it. I am currently on the 2.3.6 version of Android.
Now, the app that allows me to make phone calls, named "Phone" is giving me an inconvenience. The menu bar that has "Keypad", "Logs", "Contacts" and so forth is at the very top of the phone. The Galaxy Note being a rather big phone, requires me to stretch my thumb on either hand in order to reach it.
Is it possible to move that menu bar to the bottom of the phone instead of the top?
A friend of mine told me i'd be able to adjust it if i'm on ICS, can anyone who is currently running ICS confirm that?
Thank You In Advance,
Good Day
Yep, just be patient!

[Q] Wallpaper Changes Layour Style Itself

My galaxy note seems to reset the wallpaper layout to spread across each pane instead of staying as the whole picture on each pane (which I set it to do). I don't know why this is and I'm getting fed up of having to change it. This is my main query.
My note also just reset itself whilst I was in the middle of a phone call.
When updating to ICS the layouts were reset so there were no apps that I wanted on the main screen, no widgets whee I had set them up and no bookmarked internet pages. This doesn't matter now as I have gone through the trouble of doing it all again, but I thought it might be useful for people to know if they are considering to buy this phone.
I've seen an aweful lot of good reviews for this phone, but I'm beginning to wonder why.
You obviously downloaded a full wipe version of pics, or possibly wiped yourself during the process. Pretty standard behavior really, not sure it needs a thread about it!

There's too many people on here that act cocky, just because they know more than somebody else. Do you get enjoyment out of it?
As it happens though, you were no help at all because you haven't answered my question.
I don't know why the layout keeps changing on its own. I've got no idea what you mean about a full wipe version of pics. I have downloaded nothing of the sort. All I have done is taken a picture and set it as my wallpapaer, but the phone decides to spread the picture across all the panes after a while and I have to keep changing it back.
Sorry, that was supposed to be ics not pics.
What I meant was the old add age of a bad worker always blames his tools, the rom seems to be behaving normally.
And you didn't ask any questions, just slagged off a great phone

Ok... Why does my wallpapaer layout change on its own? There you go... The fact is, you still don't know the answer and you haven't helped me.
'A bad worker blames his tools'
I don't really know what that has to do with anything. I just use the phone as normal and the wallpaper layout changes on its own. Nothing to do with me or how I use it.
And as I mentioned, the phone restarted whilst I was in the middle of a phone call... To me, that doesn't sound like a great phone.

Ok. Assuming you're using TW Launcher, goto "Applications" > "Settings" > "Display" > "Home Screen Wallpaper" > Select your favourite wallpaper here > choose the second layout (with one column > the right option not the left one) and you'll have a non moving non spreaded wallpaper.
Hi djpianz
I have done this and that's what I have to keep doing every time I turn my phone on.
When I turn my phone on it seems to have reset to spread accross all the panes.
Problem still not solved. It still happens every time I turn my phone off and on again.
I did have that same issue on gb. I know its not a fix, but a work around, but have you considered a 3rd party launcher?

Spydertracks. Excuse my ignorance but what is a 3rd party launcher and how do I go about using one? Problem still persists.

A launcher is what gives the phone its visual style. So touchwiz is a launcher and there are various others eg. Launcher7, adw, go launcher, spb shell 3d. They each add different functionality and provide sensation to the home screen, folder and app drawer layout.
Have a look at each of of them on play store and see what you think.

Switching between apps

Hello.
Today, after update of apps on my galaxy tab s 10 lte, I did some research on just instaled updates, and suddendly, I got supprised, that switching between apps worked in other ways than always - on bottom of screen I got 3 icons on black background (just like here: aboveandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/android-5.0-L-1.jpg]) and while swapping on that bottom I was switching between currently working apps
I don't have idea, how I got to that mode, and I don't know in which app I activated this mode, but it looks like somthing from andoid 5.0, which unplanned got to some app (on my tablet I have only applications from andoid market, from offical google profile). I have andoid 4.4.2 on my galaxy tab s
Have someone got the same mode? I liked it very much (it is much easier to switch between apps than standard button and choosing app), but I don't have idea how I got to it.
Can someone help?
