Let me start by saying, i'm running stock untouched, unrooted, i turned it on and installed apps from the market, version of Gt10.1. It is the 32Gb version and came with 3.1 on it.
I've had my Gt10.1 for almost a week now and I must say that I'm stunned at the frequency of FC errors from various apps. I mean even my "Samsung Account" force closes after each restart.
Anyone else noticed that the screen isn't calibrated correctly. Seems I have to touch to the right of what I intend to select. This is particularly noticeable when selecting text in the browser or in text editors such as this app.
Should I reset to factory?
A lot of apps that work just find on my Epic4G are unstable or not available ... like where is facebook???? And how come nearly every game is either buggy or not available... EA games are just unsupported?
Is there a place anywhere that filters the marketplace by supported os version ? I.e. what is proven to work on HC 3.1

Facebook has been pulled from the tablet market for a while.
The samsung force close is on every tablet I think after reboot
I'd try resetting and see if that helps with the force closes and the screen inaccuracy. Maybe try not loading every app you had before. If that doesn't work, take it back to where you bought it and see if you can get an exchange.
Yeah its disgracefull that samsung have released the tab with so many bugs. Im writing this now on my tab and the text cant even keep up with my typing...the whole gt 10.1 is an unpleasant experience, the amount of force closes is staggering and unaceptable. theres no filterin the market to show only tab apps, it gives off a high pitch noise after every selection from the speakers, theres no predictive text input, the video play back its utter crap,why dont the home buttons auto hide to give more screen space, reading books is awfull due to each page being out of focus for a split second before being displayed properly. Theres people with dust under the screen, oh and the batteru life is in my opinion well below stated. and last but definately not least yeah it does flash in websites but not 100% some sites work and some are awfull,,,,

I feel for u. I've resolved the laggy keyboard by sticking with either the Android keyboard or Thumb keyboard. Both perform excellently. My experience has been that hidden home buttons seem to be a per app behavior. Example. Kindle app does it beautifully. I also have not experienced the out of focus issue. The video / screen rendering is unparalleled. Ive only experienced poor battery stats when I'm streaming from a weak wifi connection.. like being tethered to my phone running 3g 3bars or less.

-There is a problem with the way the stock browser handles text selection in web fields, it's probably related to some of the JavaScript problems the browser has. Until it gets patched a workaround is to use the Opera web browser.
-There are a few lists that people have compiled of HC optimized apps and games: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032381
@richie_jones:
-Turn off audible selection under settings>sound
-The default Samsung keyboard has XT9 predictive text, but you have to go into settings to enable it first. There are also numerous alternative keyboards to use if you don't like that keyboard.
-Video playback is very good on the tab. But like every tablet on the market you should convert your video to mp4 first for optimum results, or use an alternate video player such as MoboPlayer, Rock Player, Vplayer etc. If you don't know how to covert video files then check this thread for some simple instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060825

Yeah I believe the samsung force close is caused by an authentication issue on the samsung account. I looked in log with aLogCat after a force close (they always come at boot and always twice) and there was an exception logged from the samsung account app.
This happens when connected to a wifi network and also when not connected. Whatever causes it to bw unable to authenticate, the Samsung Account app certainly doesnt handle that condition well.
And finally, you think Samsung would have caught this one....
I took my Tab 10.1 back and got a Tab 7" instead. Honeycomb has a long way to go really, and all the issues the OP had I can attest to. Hardware was nice, slim and tight but given the software issues I couldn't justify the $500 tag when a 7" tab was going for $200 brand new. Very happy with my decision.

I reset to default and everything works perfectly now... the text SLOWNESS is limited to the default browser app.. I use either Opera or Dolphin now.
My only gripe now is with Samsungs advertisement or shall I say FALSE advertisement... this is not the tab they advertise. It does not have touchwiz, mini apps or Media Hub support

So you have no lag on the home screens when scrolling from one to the other, you have no typing lag on google browser. I don't think so....
Smooth it definitely is not"..."
no lag with he screens. Keyboard lag yes. Otherwise its running nice. It is a leaked tw rom that has been modified. I expect a custom rom based on the official release in a couple days.
Really nice free news feed app just released. Worth giving a look

End up installed using the apk from post 3. Google currents is amazing

Works fine on my EVO View. Debating which will be my go to app now, Currents or Pulse
The UI in Currents is pretty dope I must say, but Pulse seems to be better at updating the various feeds

You can change the timing on updates. Mine was defaulted to only update when charging when I installed, and to only check every 6 hours.
So far, I think currents blows pulse away. Time will tell.
I never used the Andriod version of Pulse... didn't to pay for it.
I thought the iPad version allowed you to add your own RSS feeds...
Hopefully Google builds in the functionality to sync or import Reader feeds.

the ability to add feeds from Google Reader is already there (add, scroll down to "Google Reader") :S
what i find shocking (or loling) is that you can't mark items as read, just like on Pulse, which makes both apps nothing more than eye candy, or only useful for people who just want a cursory glance at what's happening in the world and aren't really concerned about content
In case you haven't noticed lately the average attention span for media users these days appears to be about half that of the common fruit fly, so eye candy is exactly what most apps are trying to achieve.

You're right. I guess I didn't get that far down the list...
Interesting what they do with this... maybe something for Google TV.
Hmm, nice app. I think that I still prefer Pulse and Feedly, though.

Overall I'm liking it better than Pulse. To me, Pulse is better at updating the feeds you add manually, that arent already there from their selection of content.
For me, these feeds in Google Currents, updating a bit slower regardless of how often I set it to update to.
For example, I read ProPublica. On Friday at 6 pm. I updated the ProPublica app, as well as add it to my Pulse and Currents feed.
The app showed 4 new articles posted on Friday. Pulse had all of these available , while Currents only had the first two articles of that day.
Later on that evening, when I checked again, Currents had all 4 posts from Friday
I am noticing that more as well, even when I manually check for updates. I still like the layout of currents better, but when I am bored with nothing to read, I still find myself going to pulse when my currents aren't updating.
My Flyer received the OTA update to Honeycomb over the weekend and, minor stability issues aside, it seems pretty good.
I do have a problem with the Amazon Kindle app, which won't rotate. Well, the library view does rotate, but the reading view doesn't. In gingerbread, when I rotated the device, the lock symbol would appear but in honeycomb this does not happen. My reading view is stuck in portrait, and won't switch to landscape.
Is anyone else seeing the same behaviour? Or, does anyone have the Kindle app behaving properly on the honeycomb Flyer? I've force stop'ed the app but haven't tried reinstalling it, I thought I'd ask here before resorting to that.
Thanks in advance...

this video review of kindle app on honeycomb shows screen rotation as working, so i would probably go ahead and reinstall if you want to be sure if it's the app or if your setup that's the problem
i can tell you that on Mantano Reader you can lock the view to portrait or landscape, as well as having many (many) option settings which the kindle app doesn't provide
Hi
What name of this apps that u guy talking about b.. is it better than repligo for reading ebooks ... Tanx befor for your asist
he is talking about Kindle App
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.amazon.kindle
I am talking about Mantano Reader
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mantano.reader.android.trial
YOU are talking about Repligo, which only reads PDFs and is not an ereader app
It is always the same:
After an update from gingerbread to honeycomb (OTA or last leak), you should re-install all apps or at least all with strange behavior..
Many apps didn't recognize this update and still think that they are running under gingerbread. Normally this is no problem but some apps has flags, install different stuff, etc. when they are installed first. And also for many apps exists a different honeycomb version.
PS. It flip but has not the two-side-landscape mode :-(

Okay, I check it and you are right, it's only the iPad (and self the iPhone) version which have this mode
Fair point Elim, and I've now removed and re-installed the app. Now, the rotation lock is gone, the page rotates with the device, but there's no way to lock it.
What appears to have happened is that the technique Amazon used to pop the little padlock icon onto the display when the device was rotated no longer works, so, although the config setting is present, there's currently no way to change it. When my Flyer was upgraded, I had the rotation locked and the app honoured that under HC, but now, after a re-install, the rotation setting is back as unlocked and again, there's no UI way to change that.
Before the Kindle app got a lock setting, I used Tasker to switch off Auto-rotation when the Kindle app was active. At least now, I have the choice to go back to that. I emailed Amazon support who suggested I call their helpline to go through some live assistance... I'll let you know how I get on..
Dox
I spoke to Amazon who confirm that the Kindle App doesn't play nicely with Honeycomb. It does rotate (unless you upgraded to HC with it locked) but there's currently no way to get to the control to lock/unlock from within the app. They suggest I watch out for an app update to fix the issue...
In the meantime I've written a little Tasker profile to turn off auto-rotate whilst the Kindle app is running. That way, it will stick in whatever orientation the Flyer is when I start the app. Not great but better than the display rotating annoyingly when I'm reading in bed...
Thanks to all who offered help.
Dox.

Kindle app rotates 360 on my Archos 80 running HC. I believe the Flyer only rotates one way for landscape and one way for portrait. Kindle app is currently nicer on GB than on HC (more options to customize in GB).
I read most of my books in Moon Reader Pro. Lots of customizations available.
I've tried everything : flashing Honeycomb, CM9, AOKP and now official 4.0.4. Never had timeline on my SGT 10.1
The facebook app looks like crap in my SGT 10.1 , I cannot use it in landscape mode because the photos in the news feed are half showed and of course no timeline.
on my SGS 2 the app is working fine : timeline, landscape and portrait are switching just fine. So please please how can I fix this?
Here is two screenshots from my tab and phone
Badger Facebook to make the a tablet version of the app. They do on iOS. The current app just wont do it, youre better off going to http://m.facebook.com in a browser for the time being.

So everyone with Galaxy Tabs has this stupid version of facebook?
Yes. Some idiot at Facebook decided to give the finger to Android tablet owners and remove the previous optimization. It's formatted for phones only now which it why it looks like garbage. Use the website. It works just fine.
No full screen photos in website mode, and also a little bit slow than the Facebook app. Those Facebook stupid people shouldn't breathe

I have this problem too. Am on PA 0.5 and it was working without any problems then one day I realized that the layout had reverted to the old version.
After various tests such as changing App dpi, clearing cache, even dalvik (?) I'm at a loss.
Looks like there is yet to be a solution for this.

If you use FB app in portrait mode it's a little better layout, but not much.
Friendcaster has an awesome UI and I like it, but it doesn't pick up all my friends' posts. Apparently if they have set their privacy settings to block 3rd party apps, Friendcaster can't recognize any of their posts.
I still go back to the browser version. I was using the regular FB page through the browser but it was SOOOOOO slow. The mobile page is much better. Maybe some day they will come out with a tablet app...
I just found FAST for Facebook. It's in Beta but impressive so far.

I've tried the 1.9.0 the 1.9.2 , today I've updated to the latest 1.9.8 Same old stupid interface.
Sadly I have minimal to zero knowledge about how to modify .apk`s but I think if we could somehow ``tell`` to the facebook app that is not running on a tablet but let's say on a galaxy nexus or s2, s3 (you name it) this should do the trick. So, how to mod facebook to ``think`` that is running on a phone not a tablet?
it is a TERRIBLE app
In my household there is a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and an ASUS Transformer Prime. The Facebook app looks just fine on the ASUS, as if it's been optimized, but I get the same result you do when using the Tab. It's REALLY frustrating, and will hopefully get resolved if enough of us pester the app maker. I've left an updated review for each iteration, and I see TONS of Tab owners complaining about the app in the reviews.
After a quick search I've found that if you change the build.prop to other tab ( or phone ) the facebook app might work. The problems are : I don't know how to that. Will this have an impact on the installed apps?.
Timelines seem to be working now. Fb must of changed the code on their end. Can only view in portrait mode really, its doesnt scale right in landscape. At least you can access peoples photos, about etc tabs now too.

Edit: and its gone back again. No more timelines.!
A friend of mine as an Allview Tab wich is half the price of the Galaxy Tab, has an HD resolution and guess what? Facebook app is working perfect, just like on my phone, so **** *** Samsung for doing some great devices but forgets some small things like this, wich is kind of sad.
I got a GT-P3100 (Samsung Tab II ) with CM10nightly and still face this problem ...
I when I have the time I will try to change the product Id of the tab to see if it works. Anyway F*** y** Samsung.

My rom is an official rooted stok ics and, despite I've also unistalled and installed FB app, I can't see timeline. Instead I have it with the same app on the phone... do you have a clue?
There's another fb app thread here.
It seems the app hasn't been fine tuned at all for Android and various devices.
narrow column
cropped photos
screen caps (if you're sharing games in a game group) are cropped in half...so annoying.
IIRC actually, I think my gal tab 10.1 DID display Timeline fine. IT doesn't on the 8.9.

Hi, I don't know guys how, but it may have to do something with cm10 JB 4.1.2 because since I installed that version, Facebook app just works fine. Proper timeline, photos, etc.
I find the website is way better than the app. In most cases it's faster too.
