Sorry in advance, but I bought a gtab for the wife, and although I'm an engineer with many years of experience with PC hw & sw, this android stuff is all new, and there's no user's manual that I can find, and I'm too old for this sh#t!
So anyway, every few days she comes up with something she easily does on the PC but can't do on the gtab running tnt lite.
Today's is that she wants to email a link to the website she's on to herself or others without copy and pasting to an email client, and I can't see, or find, any to do it.
Help, please. And anyone want to buy a slightly used gtab!?!? j/k; she does like it - but I don't need the aggravation!
Thanks for any help,
Robb

I don't know if this works on the TnT browser (I don't think it uses the stock Android Browser).
But on stock android browser, press 'menu', 'more', 'share page'
Thanks, but menu button seems to be dead while using the browser.
Lol I was trying to do the same thing earlier today and can't figure it out either My HTC evo all u do is hold down the website link and it will pop up share page or copy page URL. I have tried everything no luck
You could just load another browser??
Opera, firefox, dolphin, Xscope.
They all have their advantages.
Firefox mobile has a 'share page' option; thanks! 1 down, a few more to go. I do see there are printing apps I'll need to check out.

You can do it on Dolphin too if you want your browser to support flash.

Hi guys, done a search so don't think this has been asked before. Has anyone managed to get facebook places working reliably on the hd2? From my initial hunting around I've been trying various html5 enabled browsers with intermittent success. Any advice appreciated.

Hi Alan,

I'm sure I've read they have to support HTML5, so anybody know which ones do. HTML5 is very new and AFAIK there is no browser for WM with full HTML5 support, there may be some betas with partial support, they would need the geolocation part of HTML5 to be implemented. I'm about to try Iris now
maybe this'll help some of you (PM by Xenton; thanks!):
I couldn't post this as I'm new here and it has links so here ya go:
Right been at this most of the day now, the most promising course of action would be to google gears which adds geolocation functions to browsers. It only works with very specific browsers though, one being Opera Mobile 9.51 (Presto build 2.1.0+) it's available via Opera's FTP site at ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/winmobile/951b2 download "opera_v9.5beta2_gears.cab" and install launch the browser then goto gears.google.com and click install. It will prompt you to reboot your phone. Now relaunch the browser and navigate to touch.facebook.com try to use places, you should get a warning that your location information is being accessed via gears, click okay and you should be good to go.
I got as far as a suggested list of places for my location but nothing on the screen would respond.

It's been a while since I was trying to get this to working and I gave up, so this information may not be up to date but there were no apps that worked with places, the touch.facebook website did but needed a browser with HTML 5 support, I tried many browsers, finally a combination of browser and addon that should of worked but didn't. I think I'm correct in saying android and iPhone have browsers that work nicely wptg the Facebook touch site but WinMo has neither a browse nor an app that works wptg places. I did give up on this a while bin now, and would love for someone to tell me I'm wrong...
......EDIT: It works!!! I installed 4.1 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6392459&postcount=2 (this is the page the download app button on their facebook page links to) and it prompted me to update to the latest version and then, places was working, just like that amazing, I'm well pleased. Also had a play with the latest better, kept freezing and crashing but it looks very promising, an awesome app!
yeah i was using it for places but now when i go to places it locks up
It's still working for me, try uninstalling and they reinstalling, that might fix it, it is a beta still and is not rock solid stability wise yet.

Worked for me! thanks
I just got a Viewsonic Gtablet with Android OS 2.2 and Tap UI 1.1-3588.
From everything I've read I should install a ROM like Vegan but I read that a 'stable' release will be available soon, so I was kinda waiting for that since I am new to all of this.
For right now, I can open my web emails (hotmail & gmail) in the web browser but when I go to compose a new email message there is no option to add an attachment. How can I attach files to my emails?
Is this something that is fixed only by changing ROMs?
I apologise if this was already brought up but I did search.
Thanks
I know this doesn't answer your question, but how long are you prepared to wait for "soon"?
Well I only just got the tablet so I figured I could wait until August...keeping my fingers crossed that 'soon' will be by then.

If you're referring to Vegan Ginger, then I'm afraid you've been misinformed. Nvidea has not made drivers for the Tegra 2 (harmony) for gingerbread or honeycomb, nor have they announced any plans to do so. They've stated that they would support their device if the vendors request it, but as of yet, not a peep from VS.
Alternatively, I noticed that you mentioned the web versions of your e-mail providers...why not just use the e-mail/g-mail apps? I'm using Calkulin/Clemsyn, based on the stock TnT. I have my e-mail app set up for g-mail and hotmail as well.
Also, it may be the browser your using. try a different browser, or perhaps a different view of the browser (mobile vs. desktop) and see if it shows up.

I was using these two apps just fine since the beginning of TFP but now I can't see any of my bookmarks when using the APW Bookmark widgets. It'll show stock browsers bookmarks but not Dolphin browser anymore.
Can anyone help me figure out a solution or should I email Dolphin browsers developer about this?

i'm experiencing the same thing and was about to post about it too would love an answer or alternate widget suggestion
Im guessing DB updated and changed something that doesnt make it as compatible. I wish I noticed it sooner so I could just roll back the updates. I use that widget alot >_> it's annoying now having to go into the browser now and pulling up the bookmarks lol
Lazyness at its finest.
Hi guys,
As I've written in the Android Pro Widgets thread,
Dolphin updated their application and one of the changes was blocking the access to bookmarks. What it means is no application except for official Dolphin apps can access the bookmarks list so it can no longer work with Android Pro Widgets.
We contacted Dolphin and hope to resolve this as soon as possible.
Please be patient

Thanks!!! Greatly appreciate you popping in and letting us know what's going on! Very much appreciate it.
Hi again,
As of now it seems like we won't be able to support Dolphin Browser anytime soon.
Per their request we implemented it as a separate Add-On a while ago. All left is for the apk to be signed by them like they did with other 3rd party Add-ons (and some cosmetic changes...).
Unfortunately they recently informed us they might not be able to support us (???) at this point. My attempts to explain it is already implemented have failed with no answer.
I didn't understand it at first until I saw their new bookmarks widget update today. I guess they thought they can do it on their own (You decide if they got it right).
Anyway, I tried my best and it really exhausted me so please understand why I'm giving up on that one.
I'm not entirely sure this is only a Nexus 10 problem ... But I noticed yesterday that links have stopped working on some sites in chrome and boat browsers. The Guardian website for example. The link highlights on touch but does not open the relevant page. The only way I can get it to work is to long-press the link, then open the link from the popup menu.
This only seems to be a problem on the desktop version of a site, and is not happening in Firefox.
Can someone try this out to see of they have the same issue?
Thanks in advance

Thats exactly my first thought!
Its only happened since they launched their new mobile layout, but the desktop version is so good on a tablet.

sure, it does look good on tablet..
the new mobile is pretty cool on my phone
I love to read Charles Authur's completely biased one way thinking..an apple-nazi if ever there was one..
I have been searching for a solution, but its not so easy to analyse their HTML from my tablet..
when I boot up my PC I'll have a good look at their html to see why it's causing the problem in chrome
I do notice that the first time I go there the first link will work.
have you found any other sites where the links don't work?
T
Seems to be working again now.
So, for work I have to use IE for some sites. Being able to use my tablet for this would be AMAZING. Beyond AMAZING. I have tried Opera, Chrome, Firefox and Dolphin. I get super close with a Custom User Agent someone else offered up on here about a year ago. But the top of the website where the links are doesn't work properly. It thinks its one whole banner and won't let me click the individual links like it does in IE. If anyone can give me direction I would be pleased beyond belief. If it's just a matter of finding the right UA, I'll run through every one I find. I just don't know, and I'm hoping someone else can give me some guidance. Thanks a bunch in advance.
