I bought my wife a galaxy tab 10.1 for Christmas, and I'm trying to figure out a way to play a video from the device's memory on or during start up as an inception sort of present. Is there a simple way to go about doing this? My searching has proved futile.
Thanks a lot.

Hi all,
Just bought my wife a NC for Mother's Day and we're having some issues. Every time we go to the BN "Shop" we get "A Problem Occured". We can't view magazines, books, games, etc. We're on WiFi and are able to view web pages via the browser.
Is it just because it's Mother's Day (high traffic)? Does the "Shop" play up often or for anyone else.
FYI: I'm new to NC, but not to Android. As it's my wife's NC, I'd rather not root it unless that ends up being the best way to get apps.
Thanks for any info you can provide!
Rooting it is going to be the way you will be able to install other apps outside of the Nook Marketplace. You can also look at running another OS and booting it off the sd card.
There servers have crashed at high volume shopping days before. The days after Christmas were a pain, so it seems possible. Everyone probably opened their new NC yesterday and were probably trying to buy stuff at the same time.

If you're still on virgin stock, I'd try again and/or call B&N. You shouldn't be having those kind of issues and I had no problems with a rooted NC both the day after and today with the shop.
Thanks for your reply. We'll take it by the nearest BN store and see if we can get on the wireless there. I'm not ruling out a router issue at home as we still have a fairly old router.
I have a rooted GT 7510 WiFi only that had the generic rom. After installing an app that was supposed to change the transition affect when moving from one screen to another (don't remember the name of the program) my tab was stuck in what I have read is called a boot-loop, it would get about 1 second into the Samsung splash screen and reboot again.
I read around online and found someone posted a fix for the problem. I went into download mode and loaded the .md5 file that was supposed to fix it....fail.... and it actually made it worse. Now i cant get into clockwork mode and Kies wont connect, only download mode. I can still connect thru Odin but that is as far as I can go. the tab now shows the "firmware upgrade encountered and issue....." screen unless I boot to download mode. Turns out the person on that forum linked in a file for phone rather than tab.......
Unlike many, I actually use my tab for work. Its so much easier than carrying around my laptop and can do everything I need it to.
Here is what makes me different than others who are posting here. Im willing to pay to get mine fixed. I cant go to a store or a service center to get repairs...I live in a country where there is no service center and flying back to the states to get it repaired is not an option.
In looking around online I have found other places that service them for about 50 bucks. If you can get it to work, Ill send funds thru paypal. Sorry but I wont use anyone else. I know many will be skeptical of such an offer, and I wish there was something I could do to prove that I'm for real. I just don't have the time and I need someone who knows what they are doing to help me out. I have the money but not the time it would take to get it fixed through regular means. I can use remote PC software like teamviewer or the like and you can take control of my laptop or Ill even call you....anywhere on the planet.... if you can fix this for me.....I'm that desperate.
Only real pros here please. In a noob for Andriod but please don't waist my time with things you "think might work"
thanks
I think you have the wrong forum. GT7510 != P1010 (WiFi only 7" Galaxy Tab).
HOWEVER. Your tab has a glimmer of hope left in it. If you can still get into download mode, and Odin can say hello to it, then it can be restored from the brick graveyard. Chances are, her soul is there, you just gotta kick Odin to rescue her soul and stick it back in her body (which is the Tab, of course!).
But! I'm a nice 'cube (hence my username ) and found you something that may bring your beloved tab back to life. Your mileage may vary, but I hope you all the best.
So I have read through the thread on creating a CM10 SD card. I have also read a couple of threads on root etc.
I am interested in doing some research and demo of an HD+ and want to be able to go into a B&N or a BB and boot to a micro card I bring with me to test a few apps.
Is it possible to do something like that, or do I have to "build" the card on a device? If someone has a working image of a card I could download that would be perfect.
My overall intention is to then use my wifi hotspot, install dolphin and dice and do some web surfing tests as well as stream video tests.
Want to see how the unit stacks up to my Acer a500. I have played with a demo unit in BB and was able to surf via the built in browser and youtube but I want apples to apples comparison since that is what I am familiar with.
I use my acer 2-4 hours a day for video, surfing, etc and its getting a little old and slow these days.

You do have to boot the SD in a device one time to get the card to partition itself. Then adding the CM10 and gapps can be done at home with a Mac or Linux. Then you can take it back to the store to boot again to finish installing. Then you can run it there.

Based on that, then if someone could provide an image of a working micro card, I could use that, correct?
Anyone want to PM me with a download? I just need this to run some quick like for like comparisons before I pull the trigger!!!
If its easier, I am even willing to send a 4 or 8gig micro and a return label to someone and have them make a copy and send it back to me.
Thanks
I'm using a Galaxy Camera EK-GC110 and notice there is a 25-minute video recording limitation. After the recording stops at 25 minutes, I have to manually restart a new recording clip, quite inconvenient. I've tried to use an exFAT file system on my 32GB SD card(format it on Windows 7), still the same.
There is no technical barrier on the limitation, perhaps Samsung just wants to force customers to buy their DV to break this limit.
So, dear hackers, any way to break the limitation. I do not intent to do deep hacking at this moment, so the simpler way the better.

I haven't tried it myself but maybe a 3rd party camera app might work?
Make any progress with this? Just bought GC2 and will return it if I can't get past this limitation. It's plain stupid.

I don't have a solution, but the reason there is a limit is to avoid classification as a video camera which has higher duties(import taxes). I'v seen discussion of this issue on my phone(Note3) and don't remember if there's a workaround.
Hi Folks,
I have been using a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (SM-T515) to connect with an elderly relative. I have Teamviewer Host installed for remote access and Skype set to auto-answer. It was all working fine until the tablet was stupidly upgraded to Android 10. Now Skype will only auto-answer if the app is open and in the foreground. Otherwise, it just shows up with the normal notification of an incoming call. As for Teamviewer it mostly now connects with a back screen.
I then purchased a new Tablet, Samsung TAB A7 10.4 (SM-T505) to set up at home and swap with the other one. However, I get the same issues. I've been on to both Samsung and Skype help both in terms of the community and company support. Skype at least seem to be trying to find out what the issue is. Samsung just gives and blames Skype/Teamviewer. There was a post in the Samsung community of someone else with a similar Teamviewer issue on a Tab A 8.4 which was resolved by an update with the Feb security fix. The TAB A7 I have has the December security update. Although I can't find any reference to the issue with skype auto answering as most of the posts are about trying to stop it doing that.
Before I go and try and get a non-Samsung tablet I just wanted to check if this was a wider issue or just with these Samsung Android 10 devices. While it is obviously getting expensive in useless tablets the bigger issue is restoring a simple connection with my relative during this time so any and all help or advice would be most graciously received.

Similar issue here,
Cannot remote view Samsung a7 tab if it locks
Tried to set up the pin and password in team viewer yet all I get is a blank screen until I unlock at the source
I assume Skype cannot auto answer until it is unlocked... have you tried this then called the device? If it works then samsung security is the issue
If we can set these apps as device administrators (like with antivirus) it may fix this, but Samsung doesn't allow us to set them. Possibly rooting would fix this problem?
Custom OS otherwise, take Samsung software out of the equation without needing to buy another tab
Hi There,
Thanks for your response. Ultimately the Teamviewer issue seemed to be sorted by an update. Strangely it would work in portrait mode but not in landscape (or the other way round). I turned off the screen lock so maybe that is why it worked for me.
However, after some back and forth with Microsoft Skype support they have acknowledged that this is now a known issue is a known problem with Skype on Android 11. I have since found out that the windows desktop version of skype also has the same problem. They said they are working on it but who knows. Have to say the skype support was at least pretty responsive and kept me informed through the process. Which was positive but ultimately they didn't resolve the issue.
