General :: Using Android Tablets / Phones Without Calling Feature
Jul 24, 2013
I just purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 GT P5100, and installed CM10.1 quickly. I am just using this for reading and do not want any of those sim card detection or phone feature on my tablet. I want to remove the Emergency call feature also. Basically, I do not want my tablet to detect any GSM network for using the phone feature and also want to remove that Emergency call feature. I want to remove the calling feature from my tablet. I am just using this tablet with WiFi

I'm using multiple android devices, all of them under one phone number (only one plan that includes five separate sim cards). All of the services are available under any individual device, BUT! Text messages (SMS) ONLY arrive at the devices that holds the "primary" or "master" sim card.
What I'd like to have, is the ability to somehow send any arriving messages from the primary device via something (email? im?) that doesn't require them to be in close vicinity (so no wlan/bluetooth). So that it wouldn't matter which device I hold, I'd always receive any incoming text messages and they would be available on all devices. Best would be, if also SENT messages would sync between devices.
Also of note is that the sync should be (almost) instantaneous (as fast as can be achieved via push-gmail or instant messaging). So no scheduled syncs or anything that requires an interval.
Each one of the devices are capable of sending/receiving sms on their own, so no technical barriers exist on that front.
By syncing, I mean that the messages would be available at each device's own "messaging system", NOT just backed up in email or something. (so SMS2Mail of backupsms -style apps are out of the question.)
The devices are running Android 2.2, 2.3, 3.1 and come next year, android 4.0.
I'm going to use:
* Samsung Galaxy Note
* Samsung Galaxy Tab
* Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9
* Samsung Galaxy Gio
* Motorola Defy
I've looked into TotalSMS Control, DeskSMS, Phone Control and various other apps, but they all lack some part of what I need. (DeskSMS looked the most promising, but apparently doesn't work on Honeycomb, at least market doesn't show DeskSMS for my Tab 8.9).

I've tried lot of methods until I heard of this not-known-for-many app which finally unlocked my chinese tablet.
If you cant find a root method specialized for your device its a must to try this out before asking:
Unlockroot Pro 3.36
I had trouble with the free version but I "bought" *cough* the pro version(3.3.6) and it rooted my device on less than 2 minutes.

For my site I need to be able to tell the difference between when an Android tablet visits and when an Android phone visits. It needs to be detected before the page is sent to the user so using JavaScript to check the screen res isn't an option.At the moment I use this to detect an android device: stripos($ua,'android')Is there anything unique thar a tablet has in it's user agent?

It would be very useful to add NFC feature to Android. There are a lot of projects in France around NFC integrated in mobile phones.

I'm getting a Note 8.0 soon and was wondering if I could get a mouse with this. I'm buying a Bluetooth keyboard for sure and was wondering if I could use both at the same time. So my questions are:
- Can you use any Bluetooth/wireless mouse on this tablet?
- Do you prefer Bluetooth or wireless?
- Can I use both at the same time?
- Will using both at the same time eat my battery?

I have been trying to work out if it is possible to view 1 movie simultaneously on 2 seperate tablets. I am trying to set them up as in-car entertainment for my kids (3 and 1.5). They are too young to keep heaphones on so i was hoping to be able to somehow sync a movie on both tablets to keep the audio in time. I have heard of the Seagate Wi-fi HDD but am not sure if that can play the movie in sync on 2 devices.
Also it would have to be without a wi-fi unless i used the seagate drive.

All I can find is video output to 1 secondary monitor. I need to know if I can (using iDisplay or whatever) output from a pc to 8-12 android tablets in extended desktop. So the tablets would make 1 big monitor. Operating system on pc side can be linux or windows 7/xp.

I'm on a medical school, and we have a lot of documentation to work with which is digital form, so I thought if I could edit those documents on my Android tablet. BUT, there is a little problem. Those aren't just ordinary Office documents, but they have integrated many charts in which we add text; checkboxes and dedicated fields for text input. But I don't know, if any application from Google Play supports those features in the document, or would it just ignore/not recognize, or even scramble the layout of the document? The running through every application on the Play would be a too big pain in the..n.
Is there any application that would preserve the original layout of the document and allow editing those fields without any issues?

I have a Sero 7 Pro and along the bottom next to the on screen buttons is a button to take a screenshot. I know you can take them using the side buttons but is there an app to add the on screen button to other tablets?

Bought two tablets for Christmas for the kids, and I would like to have both exactly the same. Don't want them fighting over who has which apps or tablet. The tablets are both the same, so no hardware issues.

Why do some apps fail when sideloading them onto some lower end tablets? I back them up from my phone using astro and try to install it on a viewsonic G-tablet or a Nextbook tablet and the installation fails. They're perfectly good backups. How come it's not supported?

i don't know if this is possible, but lot of people have problems with touch screen on our chinese Tablets Bmorn V99 with ICS with original firmware.
Screen problem is gone when Bmorn is flashed with Eken ICS firmware, but there are other things that doesn't work with Eken.
Is there any way to get two IMG files (from Bmorn and Eken), and somehow get only display drivers from Eken and repack it to Bmorn?

I want to run a dj tango app on a hand-held device. It'll need to run Python (obviously) and will write its data to an SQLite database. Are there any tablets available that will let me do this? Specifically, if I bought an Android tablet, would I have to/be able to install Linux instead, or would I be able to run it under Android?

I've been studying the screen support of Android and yes, while it is flexible, I still don't see how you can support a "really large" screen like the Samsung tablet is going to have. I think no matter what you end up with lots of wasted real estate. The problem is the Android doesn't automatically "scale up" your application if you run in compatibility mode - rather, it fits it into a postage stamp instead. Because of this, how can you really make an app that will "never" have some postage stamping at all, unless you use all 9patch drawables and Absolute Layouts? (Well, you could draw the GUI yourself, which is what my Reloop Sequencer does). As an example, my drum machine app, Electrum Drum, has a certain layout for the buttons and pads. Now, on a larger screen, it would be nice to just make all the buttons and pads bigger. I need the same layout relationships between all the elements though. Basically I just want a "scaled" up version of the UI. Maybe I can achieve this with 9patch drawables and relative layouts? The issue is I could certainly make "large" graphical elements (if not use a 9patch drawable) but there is no way for something, for example, to know that hey, I have LOTS of space I can use.
Let's say for example, that you want a completely different layout on a tablet - say you want more buttons, etc, on your layout now. You can't do it because there is no way for the android app to "know" that this "large" screen is actually larger than "large". A Droid X probably reports itself as large, although the screen is only 4.x inches or so, where you would not have room for those extra buttons. This is no where near as large as 7" or 10", even at a pixel density of 170 or 240. I think the default behavior would have been better to scale up images in compatibility mode, and if the dev could provide higher res images then it would use them of course (put them in the large high dpi folders), but I don't see how a layout itself can scale correctly in really large cases like a tablet. We need some better explanation of how to handle these cases. I still don't understand how a normal app is going to be enabled to scale up easily. It would have been easy if Android would have just "magnified" the view, but it doesn't.

The new Samsung Tab 3 (and older Notes) do not include the bottom menu (the black bar at the bottom and instead have physical buttons for that. The Samsung Tab 2 7" has the same resolution as the Samsung Tab 3 7" but the latter has some extra pixels available since it doesn't have a menu bar at the bottom.
How should one design the layout for these tablets?

When calling, roughly 3 out of 10 calls my phone just spontaneously reboots. It does no matter if I get called or if I am calling. It usually happens straight after a connection is established but in rare cases it also happens during the call. It had this since the beginning when I even did not install 1 app yet.
Other then the calling issue the phone is working flawlessly. I am running the stock Android 4.0.3 HTC ONE V (which I recently rooted, but the problem exists already before the rooting)
Below are the logs for one such crash
System log during call and crash reboot (at around 17:33):
Code:
06-01 02:59:14.756 W/webview ( 9435): at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:864)
