[Q] iPhone/iTouch as remote control for my tablet - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have my Tab 10.1 mounted on the dash of my car. Having to reach to press any onscreen buttons is a pain, and dangerous. I would like to use my iPod touch as a wifi direct or bluetooth remote control. I have been looking for about 6 wks now for an app for each that would be compatible with each other. Can anyone tell me if there is such an app that will help me?

I would look at moving the tab, rather than polluting it with fairyfruit!!

W-w-w-w-w-white people problems!!!!

Thanx for the chuckle. Rude! But, funny.

Default keyboard for OEM Samsung Dock

Hi all,
I love my GT and the keyboard dock it came with (plus all the shortcuts). I use them nearly everyday together for taking notes in class, but I HATE that holding the backspace key will end up deleting everything I typed. I wish it would just continously delete until I let go, like the stock keyboard. Is there any way to remove this "feature" or make Swype or the stock keyboard the default for the dock?
Changing it everytime I dock my tablet is annoying and every now and again when the screen turns off it just turns back to the samsung keypad.
TIA

Ever tried SwiftKey X Tablet? It seems to do everything you mentioned so far, some say it has dock support but I wouldn't be too sure. You might wanna test it, the app is free ofcourse. If you feel you like it, buy it

[Q] Lock app drawer / kid mode

I gave my 5 year old son my old Galaxy S. He loves it and it pretty good with it but he keeps going into the app drawer and going into things he's not supposed to.
Is there a way to lock to app drawer?
I tried Go Launcher and I was able to remove the app drawer. However if he hits the menu button in go launcher, he'd be able to do a whole lot of damage. lol
The phone's rooted, if that helps
Any ideas?
There's an option in go launcher to to hide icons from app drawer

[POLL] Do you use the Galaxy Note II's "multi window" multitasking?

I'm on the verge of buying an LG Optimus G, or a Galaxy Note II, and the one big software feature that draws me toward the Note II is the multi-window feature. But, I'm wondering, will I really use it, and how well does it work?
Please participate in the included poll so we can gauge just how usable this feature is.
Thanks!
EDIT- Thanks to everyone who responded. I finally got my Note 2 and I'm loving it. I'm planning on rooting to enable multi window access for any app
Re: [Q] Do you use the Galaxy Note II's "multi window" multitasking?
When ever I am on stock I use it a lot. Multi window is also the first thing I show to all my iPhone friends
But if you want ASOP, then multi window won't be a option

I use it to show off. Thats it.

At the moment I only use it to show off but I don't see why I wouldn't use it in the future. It would be useful to check something while I'm navigating.

That's funny. Same here.
I don't use multi screen but I will jump back and forth with the recents list instead.

This thread is funny because it's true. Only use it to show off to people. Otherwise useless. Recent open stuff is easy to scroll through and it holds your spot for the most.

Re: [Q] Do you use the Galaxy Note II's "multi window" multitasking?
I use it when I'm looking at a website and I'm copying things to my build prop in root explorer or stweaks or anything else I can think of like that. It's better than holding down home and going back and forth.

I don't find it practical to use on such a screen this size. Just to show off.
Re: [Q] Do you use the Galaxy Note II's "multi window" multitasking?
I use it all the time. I watch videos on top while I do other stuff (games, texts, etc). Fyi.....verizon only includes about 7 useless apps in that feature so you would have to root to really use it. Seriously. ...the apps they limit it to make it pointless. I rooted just so I could throw youtube, nfl, netflix, etc in there.

That's a good example of when to use it but I always forget.

Same I always forget about it since I always have it off because the handle thingy always gets in the way :/
You can actually use ANY app in multiview if you mod the apps installer file WITHOUT ROOTING:

This sounds perfect. I havent recently but I delivery as an odd job sometimes and having the music app and navigation right there without switching is perfect especially in a car
Is there a way to completely remove the MW handle and have it activated on a swipe gesture? I don't know about you guys, but that handle always gets in the way of something which is why I always have it off :/

I think the large screen size of the note 2 is the only reason the multi Window has any use at all.
I actually do use it more than I thought I would. I've had xda open or a screen shot of instructions on xda open on top and root explorer on bottom so I don't screw up and move mod files to the wrong location.
Another big one is my todo.txt app alongside my calendar app to plan out my day/week. Also YouTube is awesome to have in portrait mode and slide the screen split up a bit to hide everything but the video and do something else in chrome. Or sometimes I'm watching lucidmike on top and trying out whatever he's talking about on the bottom simultaneously

That's the biggest thing I've used it for so far, makes it easy to follow mod instructions while making changes.

Fuse Panel App

Anyone know of any app that would let you have a diagram of your fuse panel. There's an app for IOS but none for Android.
I think it would helpful to be able to have an app diagramming all of your breakers, plus a flashlight, so when a breaker trips, or you need to do some electrical work, you don't have to guess and flip each one trying to find which breaker goes to which room.
Just a thought....

Draw it out using S-Note. Thats what I do to remember diagrams and other things.
Some ROMs have a flashlight toggle too. Or you can get an app for it.

Discovered an AMAZING app for the N2

I'm new to these forums obviously so I'd like to take a start at sharing probably one of my favorite Note 2 apps. I normally wouldn't post a thread like this but using this app has made my experiences with the N2 SO much better that I just have to share And heck, maybe we can turn this into a favorite app thread.
It's called ShareKM and it works great, check it out

This app is spectacular. Pairing over bluetooth with a desk dock has already changed the way I use my phone at work. I usually listen to music from my phone so now I can just drag my mouse to the left and interact with the phone, even control volume with the mouse scroll wheel and play/pause with the Function keys on my keyboard.
Great find! Everyone in the office is pretty jealous of this today.
yea ever heard of Mobizen?
