Hi,
i played this weekend with a couple android devices and i liked the contact app on the samsung galaxy tab. is it possilbe to get it on the desire, or is it special made from/for samsung?

What's so special about it?I've never seen it

i think it's the same as in the SGS...the contact application is very nice..it allows you to swipe right or left in order to make a call or send a sms.. i think if there is a way to import this in to DHD it would be very nice
and i also like the style and layout, but will probably look very tiny on the small display of the dhd.
but i like it. better than the htc one....
Its basically like the iPad's contact app, in landscape mode it shows the contact list down the left side and when a contact is selected it fills the right hand side of the screen with the contacts details. Is that what your after?
yep,
i also like contapps, like the portrait view with the name under it, but unforunately it sorts the contacts only by first name and i would like to have it with last name...
Im not a massive fan of contapps, however i can see the appeal. i would definatly like the Tab's contact app though, and i think with the DHD's 4.3 inch screen, it would work pretty well.
right now contapps is buggy, but i like the idea, the design is a diffrent story, but maybe they enable themes...i like the facebook integration in cotapps more than with the standard dhd people app and facebook for thc sense, because, this f**** always messes up my contact pictures...
i just would like to have the "updates" from facebook not the pictures and anything...
but i think the conact app from the galaxy tab is only for samsung...its not a open app for everybody....
Off, u can always override pic of contacts in edit mode,htc sense.
-- sent from htc z using xda app
yes i can overide it until the next sync, than i have all this nice facebook pictures back from facebook for htc sense or twitter for htc sense...*bullsh..*
i am looking for a goot contacts app who still does integrate stuff like facebook and twitter but let me choose what to do. like in contapps, i can choose which picture gets overwritten by the facebook one...twitter is not yet integrated, but i like the foursquare integration too...
i even looked at sony eriscson xperia 10 today, the integration of the networks look better there, but i could test if it does the same overwritting like htc facebook.
Had a unpacked (preproduction) Galaxy Tab rom laying around from my Galaxy S days (Way.. back) Here's the contact app from it, I assume it doesn't run on the DHD, but who knows, maybe someone can make it work
I don't know how to get it running on the DHD. If you have questions, please contact the Samsung or HTC Helpdesk

Hi team,
Nice app you have there. I like the way you advertise it on your website.
"Dude, I’m so
bored with my mobile
contacts…"
"Try contapps,
it’s free!"
Lol... keep up the great work.
EDIT: in dutch your app and company name sounds a bit funny. In dutch "kont" means "ass" .The pronunciation of "cont" is the same as "kont" in dutch, so in Dutch it sounds like ass apps
I suggest a fusion with a company named "kick" for the dutch app market

You're right. I was a bit to quick. Probably because I assumed beforehand that it cannot be installed.
anyone tried to push it via adb? might try it when i get home
any1 had any luck?
Just trying contapps, very nice i have a few suggestions which i think would work nicely
Using contapps too, but I don't like that I cant sort the contacts by last name and it shows me a lot of the items twice, like home and work address, birthday and so on, I think it's because, I have all my contacts in phone and synced with google too. also would like to link the contacts with other social sites and an overview of it in the info section

Hey whats up guys, I have a Galaxy Tab on the way from sprint.
It's my first actual official Android Device (Had a T-Mo MDA, Sprint Mogul, TP1, and TP2). I have a Touch pro 2 that I was able to put Froyo 2.2 on... But that device became too tedious and I felt it was way behind compared to most Android Devices.
So I have a couple of days between now and when I receive it.
I was doing some browsing on the capabilities but I'm 100% sure I haven't seen all of what can be done.
So I figured that everyone can chime in as to what capabilities this thing has, and other members can be informed of what their device is capable of that they didn't even know.
Rooted, and Unrooted.
I think this can help everyone being that it's all condensed in this thread.
Thanks guys
Pretty much about 90% of what you'll ever need to do.
Except make smmiches and coffee.

I was, at first, a Tablet hater. Not sure what possessed me to get the Tab, I think I wanted to see what the hype was about.
I honestly, don't use my laptop much anymore. It's become such an effort to turn it on, and browse the web, when my tab is near instant. 3G is a must. Its what's made it so useful. Its just a fantastic device. Games are amazing on the 7" screen, browsing is a delight (I use Dolphin HD) and its just so portable. It'll fit into some jean pockets and most back pockets of any trousers.
I would buy a 2nd version of a Tab instantly.

We all know a lot of the main features that come on a stock tab.
But I'd like to know what you guys can do on a rooted device

My experience with my Tab has been making/editing themes, editing photos for work and I've recently been designing a website for a friend.
Obviously, each aspect is limmited to what apps are available, but whatever profession you're in, there will always be an app for you.

Hi All,
I'm new here so be gentle. I've had android phones for a couple of years now and love them.
I am eagerly awaiting delivery of my new Galaxy Note tomorrow ....so what do you all think the first things I should do with my new toy should be?
Root it?, cool apps?
Ideas please.
Cheers all.
Neil Luck
Read all QA , general section thread.
Then read 1 St link of my signature how to root, read it twice, thrice till you make everything clear. Then root n then proceed to development section
Well, I'd try charging it hehe.
I don't root my devices, for some reason. After being on the iPhone for a year, I find Android REALLY open and I don't need anything else. So many good apps!
I installed an application that backs up all my calls, sms, mms to my google account (great way to keep track of everything), and I restore from MyBackup Pro.
I install some fun casual games, a good ebook reader, and tested the camera out hehe. Great device. By the time I got all that stuff done, it was dying and I gave it a first charge. Fantastic device. You'll love it!
Wow
So I got my Galaxy Note and all I can say is Wow
Once fully charged and turned on for the first time the first thing you notice is the screen quality, it is just awesome!!
I'm finding the size to be just about perfect for me.
I've added a load of apps and played with the camera which is pretty good quality too.
I can't think of anything so far that I can gripe about, it is a superb device.
What have you guys done regarding a case for yours?
No case for me but I have a good screen protector installed. No harm in being safe right?
Glad to hear you're enjoying the Note!

Pretty disappointed after picking up my gear last week. I'm going to give it a month before I dump mine for sale if they don't start putting out useful apps for it. Seems like half the stuff is pushed out with bugs and semi working or not working at all. Half the apps in the store (gee there really isn't much) hang on install, fail to work correctly or are just junk that you don't need. Is it really that hard to offer an app that would let you read your full email body on it, or an app that would give you facebook updates on it without reading them on the phone, or a watch making app that actually tells time and doesn't lock up 4 times a day? Samsung should just change its name to the Galaxy gear beta edition. I understand the 30% return rate on them now after owning one.

I don't really get where people find the time and energy to post like this. Get a refund and move on with your life, already.
The galaxy gear is awesome (and so is the pebble, the sony smartwatch, etc. Can't wait to see what Google and Apple do)
Samsung has really knocked this out of the park and showed us the potential of wearables - probably better than anyone - and how they're so obviously going to be the future.
Samsung has been innovating incredibly well lately. I really hope Microsoft/Google/Apple up their game and keep up!
Well...it is indeed lacking a lot of features that should be there right out of the box but I am sure you have done your research before you bought the watch. I did do my research and I am quite happy with the watch. I wouldn't buy it at $300 but at $210 with tmobile discount 30% off, this is not a bad buy at all.
I never once had a problem with installing apps from Samsung app store. Their selection is really small and apps are not that great but it never hang or fail to install for me. You can also sideload apps as long as they don't require access to internet if you don't mind some extra steps of installing.
Reading email would be a nice thing but I don't see myself using the tiny screen to read email. I would rather want to do it on the phone.
Facebook update sure would be nice.
Never lock up 4 times a day but then I don't use watch styler app or custom face.
Also please try the ATN app. It helps with all the notifications that I need the watch to show such as whatsapp and whatever others app you might need.
Could it be better ? Sure. Will it get better? Of coarse it will !
There's nothing BETA about it, its simply a new consumer product which hasn't boomed yet.. once the developers gain interest you can bet your ass your going to see some amazing stuff from the gear.
Anything Samsung related on the watch works extremely well, could they have included additional features sure. But why would they ? Its a Samsung device providing support with Samsung products/applications straight out of the box.
All the things listed can be easily resolved via software updates, or third party software. Eg. ATN.
Any complaint you have about the gear will have the same complaubt about the new sony smart watch. Its new. Do your homework before you buy something.

Eh, I love mine (got the 30% off deal) but I agree with the OP and am disappointed with the small amount of apps in the Samsung store... and at least half of it is junk. A big reason for that is because Samsung is being weird about releasing the SDK to the public, I wish they'd get on with that soon. Though I think (I hope) the situation will get a lot better soon when they release official updates for S3, S4, Note2 to make them compatible with the Gear.
I have to disagree with the OP. The gear is amazing. I don't have problems installing apps and I think some of them are pretty good like watch styler. The only thing I don't like about the gear is that it doesn't show notifications for third party apps and I hope Samsung releases an update enabling notifications for all apps.

The Galaxy Gear is ready for Prime Time.
I love my Gear.
Has all the Apps I want.
Anybody that takes the time to find this forum should know,
You do not have to get all the Apps from the Samsung Store.
A member of XDA has a solution for notifications, many people use it and like it.
Do not know about facebook, could care less about facebook.
Sounds like the OP thinks the device replaces a smartphone,
A smartwatch tells you at a glance if the message you get is worth pulling your smartphone out.
Who other than the OP, has every had any problems with the Gear Locking up?
Who other than the OP can not find a way to tell time with the Gear?

I LOVE my gear watch
For me SVoice/Phone integration/Camera is what makes this watch, and also of course the notifications. Really don't care about apps (Although Tripit, Evernote and MyFitnessPal are nice).
It's like google glass on your wrist!
eing able to reply to messages by voice from my wrist in the car is awesome. I never hear anyone talk about these great features when they are griping about the watch.

Well lets see....
Cant even hear a call unless your in a quiet room
Cant reply to a txt with s voice unless its dead silent or s voice gets it wrong
Facebook app turns your phone settings so it speaks every stupid thing its doing
watch making app STILL locks up daily your clock
every other day updates to gear manager trying to fix something without a update list to give you a clue
installing apps hang alot
some dont work or give you just a blank watch face when you try to open them
Guess all the posts in the gear forum are made up
I quit flashing roms and tinkering since my HTC MDA days, I just want a product that works out of the box I guess
Every review is the same.. so so on it. Return rate is high also. The few that love them, great, tinker away with yours. When I can read my 3rd party apps emails, pick from 100s and 100s of apps maybe Ill dig it. Till then its a beta toy as far as im concerned. i knew it when i got it just didnt expect it to be this crappy I guess.
I'd like to know how many of the returned watches are due to either people not usually wearing a watch or because it wasn't compatible with their device
I've not had any of the problems mentioned here (mind, I didn't use watchstyler). Mic and speaker seem fine to me
Hardly any apps these days mention what has changed between versions so can't see that being a negative. Having to reset every time there is an update sucks though (however, the restore thing seems to go ok for the most part)
I just want my notifications to give more detail - mms to show pic, email to display html, sms/facebook/etc not be limited by character limit. It's all very possible going on the evidence
Couldn't care less about apps. Good to be able to sideload though

the 30% who returned will buy again when new software comes out , Samsung will do lots of new things once it's compatible with all device . It's a clever divide I love it

I'm loving my gear but can also appreciate where the OP is coming from. In the main I think the gear lives up to its expectations ax far as I am concerned.
The biggest issue I have is the lack of water resistance, and how it handles facebook notifications. I am hoping though that this thing gets better as time moves along. It does worry me however that work on the Gear 2 will already have started and we will end up with a non supported device quite quickly.

you have to be blind to call Gear a decent product. they had a great idea, but the execution is terrible and you may disagree with that, but you are lying to yourself. this needs so much work to become a decent product.

After reading your post, I had to REGISTER to reply.. :fingers-crossed:
Seems like you got a beef with the apps. Not the phone. You keep talking about bad apps, or not enough apps. Well they were selling out in my area, and I got mine on discount. Found out they were selling fast on Ebay. Purchased a couple more at discount, sold them for a profit. It seems like a lot of people think differently than you. We all understand this is a FIRST, you didn't expect this to first run to be PERFECT did you...
BTW, I am a layman, don't know JACK-CHIT, to be honest. I got the Note 3 on a humble, and since I was way over my head with the Note 3, I might as well go all the way..Got the Gear at $209.. Happy Camper...

I found this to be a very good overview of using the Note 4. You can probably skip the unboxing part at the start and get right into the usage part.

The ones that do the best reviews for a newcomer are the following Youtube people
Zedomax

Ricky The Android Guy
Watch their review videos and get good a good basic idea but in the end nothing will beat good old experimenting. Welcome to the Note 4 - you have entered a new world. The Iphone and Note 4 couldn't be anymore different. It will take a while to get used to Android and all its new possibilities. You probably will get frustrated at some points but I encourage you to stick with it and find out what you can REALLY do with an Android driven Note 4. The possibilities are limitless. Remember the basic rule about Android - if you don't like something - just change it. My Note 4 doesn't even resemble a stock android anymore because I tweaked it so much but I spent countless hours tinkering around with it. When you have questions - just ask politely and you will find there are tons of people willing to lend a hand.
Good luck and as I said welcome to a new world.
Hi off the top of my head I would think everybody should enable the S pen reminder setting where if you set your pen down and walk away without it your phone would beep and vibrate reminding you the pen is not in/near the phone anymore
To enable
Settings >
Scroll down to the tab “Motions and Control/Control” >
Tap S Pen >
Tick S Pen Alerts
Its probably ticked by default but cant remember and its good to make sure its enabled cause I walk away a couple of times and forgot the pen haha
