[Q] How to input Secret Codes like Galaxy S/S2 - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to enter secret codes in Galaxy Tab like I can do with the phone S/S2, e.g. *#1234# to get PDA/PHONE/CSC?
Or is there another way?

I don't think so. I presume you mean dialer codes which would not work here as this is not a phone and I don't think the dialer or phone apk work on honeycomb.

[Q] cant use secret codes on any of the roms

Hello,
I'm trying to use the secret codes for the SGS 2 and it just wont work.
only one of them is working regularly-*#*#4636#*#*.
non of the other seems to work on any of the stock(KG5+KG3)+custom roms(cognition, vilian, criskelo).
i installed the secret codes app for maybe be able to access the *#9900# menu.
the phone was bought in India and was imported to Israel.
anyone got an idea why is this suddenly happening??
it used to work properly in the beginning(around July)
if you need any more details.
codes can only be used with the original dialer supplied by samsung . Any 3rd party dialer will not work.
Did you install a 3rd party dialer or make any changes to the dialer.
oh yeah...also i used a theme(hyperdroid black) no all of them so i guss that is the reason. thank you.

[Q] Having an issue with a game from another region

I am a huge fan of the Shining Force series, and I wanted to play the android games in the Shining Force Chronicles series. I managed to get the free apks off of play.google.com using the APK Downloader extension in Chrome.
My problem is that when it loads on my Galaxy Tab, I get a SIM ERROR (obviously because I have the wifi only version), and then when I try it on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus it loads a page that appears to be an ad for the new Sonic by the same company. All of the text is in Japanese and translates to something about try the new sonic game, and need to upgrade to a new version of the app (but I have the newest version of that app already), so I have tried doing a few searches on google.
I found a post about a way to play the Sonic games from the store, but you need to change your provider id to docomo. I was wondering if something like this would work for the Shining Force games. My problem is I cannot seem to find a way to change a provider id, or what to change it to for docomo. I have found carrier id, and things like that, but I don't want to change something that will break or perhaps brick my phone.
Does anyone have any idea on what steps I might be able to try to get this to work? I still have my OG Droid that is off-contract and uses just wifi, so if need be I try some things on that first to see if I get it to work.
Will changing the provider id make any of my other apps not work, or maybe even do anything to phone calls or texts?
Does anyone know how to change a provider id, or even what it is? Maybe it's a carrier id? I am a bit stumped here at the moment.

[Q] Bypass device restriction in Google Play?

Hi
I can't install many apps on my device (Galaxy Player 5 USA) from the market, it says "Galaxy Player - This item is not compatible with your device".
I'm sure if my device woulda been a Galaxy II or III it won't be any problem downloading the app.
Is there a way to bypass these restrictions so I can download ANY app from the market?
Notes
My device is rooted
My country is already hacked
I have a higher density than the standard
Thanks

You can edit device model in build.prop as well as LCD density

Its probably because you changed you LCD density. Clear data for market and Google services framework, change your density back to normal and reboot. Then open up your market let it load then change you density back to whatever then reboot.

I kinda prefer the change device model solution because many apps are blocked even web I set the density back to the original setting.
Anyway, I installed a build.prop editor from the market, but I'm unsure what setting to change.
I think it would be grey if I can turn my device into a Galaxy II or III, or perhaps even "upgrade" my Android version, or fake the density.
So bottom line, if you could please tell me how to change device.
Thanks a tone!

The device id lines
Code:
ro.product.model=*insert device here*
ro.product.brand=*insert line here*
ro.product.name=*insert line here*
Also I wouldn't recommend changing the Android version if its a really high jump (2.3 to 4.0 for ex.). This would probably cause incompatibillty of the apps since some have version for both OS version such as GMail or YouTube.
I would recommend using something with the same or similar SoC so that you get the right graphics package with games. The Galaxy Play 5 uses the Exynos 3110 SoC. Ther is a list on Wikipedia of other devices with the same SoC:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exynos
The Galaxy S and Nexus S both use that SoC and are popular enough candiates to use as a build.prop.

You'll also need to change the fingerprint ID.

Can you please tell me exactly what setting I should provide for each of the above lines in order to fake it to Galaxy S 2?

SideSync APK

Where can I find an APK for SideSync application which has been released recently by Samsung along with its Tab-S & Tab-Pro serious?
I wish if I can run it on Note 10.1 to be able to Sync with S5 mobile.
Any help would be appreciated.

Has any one gotten it to work with earlier version of Galaxy S3 and S4 phones?
I got the app to work on Note 10.1 (2014 edition). I installed the app on S3 phone. Comes up on both devices then instantly closes on S3 phone. The reason I am asking this I believe there a lot of users of the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy S4 phones that might like this ability to work like on the new Galaxy S tablets and Galaxy S5 phones.

Also got problems with running it. Only old version can be installed on my Note P605 and on PC there is only version 3.0 available. After connecting tab to PC nothing happens.
Soft do not find my tablet. If any of you make it work please share how to?
I downloaded SideSync 3 from Aptoide to my P-605 & using it with my S5 mobile. Works normally

Is there a way to load this app on my Note and view the screen from the a PC? It seems the app can only view a phone's screen and not act in reverse.
You can change the product name in the build.prop to sm-p905 too, this will allow you to install anything that installs on a note pro

It works fine on my S4. The phone must be running kitkat. Unfortunately you are not able to make or receive calls through the tablet, but all other features work fine.
i was able to download this on my p600 with the play store no problem but it says not compatible on my s4 active for work. i cant root it so i hope i can do something.
Does any1 have a problem with call forwarding ?
I've got note 10.1 2014 edition and note 3 lte stock rom, stock kernel.
Sidesync 3.0 works great beside call forwarding. When some1 calling me I only can see it on my phone. On the tablet is jus black screen.
Any1 got the same problem and solution ?!
Hi,
I have SideSynce running on my phone and tablet. I can connect to my phone from my tablet and can control the phone within the tablet.
I only have one problem. If I try to write a text for example in Whatsapp the keyboard doesn't get shown if I tap into the textfield.
Does someone has a solution ?
Thank you!

I use my S-Pen w/ Direct input

S pen

Hi guys. Got the new tab s3 wifi with a keyboard case. Trying to figure out all the cool features. I am an owner of nore 10.1 2014 edition and a note 5. My question is, can this s pen act as the one of the note 5? Meaning for example recognise hand written numbers and covert to typed ones, same for text and/or shapes. Is it the s pen function or a software which can ge downloaded?

I havnt used the SPen that much yet, but I did install GOOGLE HANDWRITING INPUT APK - this can be used to covert hand written notes to typed text. I will try playing with the SPEN Later to see if I can do the same things I used to do on my Note 5 back when I had one - maybe someone else can share their experiences in the meantime - but like I said, if you need something now, try the GOOGLE Handing Writing apk, it works great.
Yes, converting hand-writing to text still works with this Pen

Samsung notes (I also have S Note installed but haven't played with it yet) along with most (all?) text input fields when you use your pen rather than the on-screen (or physical) keyboard
