Android Convert needs a couple questions answered please - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
recently purchased a Nexus 7. It is my first tablet and first Android device and I love it.
I have some specific questions I cant seem to resolve, perhaps you can help me.
I'm running the stock JellyBean version that came with it, albiet with one OTA update 4.1.1 build number JR003D
any way here we go...
1) In the 'People' app I see all my contacts. Some of which I have connections with over a number of accounts...Skype, facebook, LinkedIn, whatsApp etc etc. I see a little green circle next to names that are online, but how do I know which service they are online for? I cant seem to work that out...
2) in the native Gmail App I am trying to send a note to one of my predefined groups. In the browser, I just type the name of the group....and it recognizes...in the App on the Nexus 7 doing this is not recognised....I actually do not know how to send to a gmail group from there...is it possible?
3) Once you select an option for program to open a file (asks you to do it 'just once' or 'Always') can you 'undo' this selection as I made the wrong one and now I'm stuck opening files that way.
cheers for your help!
J

3. Go to settings>applications>all then find that app, click it and select clear defaults

No MarketPlace Icon

Hi All,
Currently working in China so bought this for the misses and the first problem is
1) the stock browser does not seem to recognise flash 10.3 so I most of the websites she uses are useless.
2)No market place icon to download Dolphin Hd etc
3)No Gmail Icon or Samsung Account/ Gmail Account options when try to setup the accounts
4)Tried to create an account in Gmail for her using laptop but when try to download an app from interent it says no devices associated with the account and you need to access the MarketPlace using the device first.
5)haha, downloaded the marketplace.apk and installed it on the app, however just says i need to setup an account before I can use it, 8-( however the Samsung Account is setup and using the Gmail Email Address (all be it not an actual gmail.com address)
Please anybody, can you help before this thing goes through the window, the shop has refused to allow me to return it so after pointless argusing in English to somebody who does not understand and my misses also trying in chinese we are left with it, any ideas how to resolve the above?
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease.....
I'm also getting messages when using the internet saying something about WebIM and Windows Media Player needed to be installed, when click ok, nothing happens ?
Doh !
Resolved the Flash issue with the stock browser, very simple answer, was just in the settings to always allow plugins...
But still need to resolve the Market Place issue and the Windows Media Player Plugin for the browser, anybody any ideas please ?
Nobody got any help ?
入手这个以后说实话我很纠结。。。
什么是真理? . . . .
I am also in the (Chinese) market for a Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Wifi), since it is way cheaper in China than back home in Germany, plus it is actually being sold here
I've bought an Android device in China before and it also lacked the Google apps as well as Facebook etc. And the Market app, most importantly. On that device I just downloaded another, non-Chinese firmware, installed it and it worked like charm.
Is that also possible with the Tab? Because I would like to get rid of the castrated Chinese firmware. If yes, which firmware should I use - and how high is the risk of bricking the device?
Thanks in advance
Mucho
I had thought of putting the Europe Firmware on it, but as its for my wife I aso need it to have Chinese Character Support, My Galaxy S2 mobile has the XX firmware on it, but I cannot switch this into Chinese Language so was worried the Galaxy Tab would be the same....
So that means no Chinese input or no character display at all? Because for the input you just install another IME and it should be good to go...
Anyone else any ideas about the possibility of slapping a European firmware on it?

[Q] problem with my tab 10.1

hi all,
After i bought this 10.1 tab, i feel like a bit regret. It is some of the app doesnt work properly to my tab. Is it because of i download from a wrong place (mostly from market).some of it doesnt work.
Can u guys help me on this problem?
1. I downloaded facebook for android from market but then, its always give me an error in sometimes.
2. I cant find yahoo messenger app.
3. My whatsapp doesnt show any of my contact on the contact list. But people can whatsapp me.
Please help me on this guys. I am really appreciate if u guys can give me the best answer.
Million of thanks.
1) What kind of error ? a system error from the android it self or from the application ? You may search for an unofficial facebook app. I saw one on the market.
2) I don't know if they have such app, but search in Yahoo's web, you may find it.
3. Whatsapp searhes by phone numbers, rather than user names. Make sure phone numbers are cirrectly entered in your contacts.
Yahoo messenger is available for android and its also supported by honeycomb! im using it right now! it also has a plugin for video and audio calls!! you can easily find it by googling it
why do you want to use the facebook app anyway ! ?
You can use the browser
Sarkise : its an app error..facebook.....katana.. I already google ym for android. ?.it requested my hp number and i got the link...but then it says it doesnt support...any idea?.?
Ikeny : it is correct number and i saved into my device..but it still didnt show the contact list..i can get the conversation if someone text me first.. Then i try to save the number again, and then refresh the list, its still the same.. Any idea??
Farhang _za : can u give me the link?? Appreciate if u can give..
Matrix_19 : it is much more easier using the application rather than using website..

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes.
For example, if i will press "www.xyz.com<parameters>/bla/bla"
From my cellphone, the web site will open the famous android popup"in which application
To use: browser/application.
I will tell you to where i aiming for - If user enter to my website via his cellphone
I want it will open it in my app(if its installed on his phone earlier)
If not, it will open my website via browser.
I don't know how to do what your talking about but I get what your saying...so I'm just here to clarify
Say you google something and an youtube link pops up
You go to open the link on your phone, and you get that famous pop asking if you would like to view it in the YouTube app or the browser
You want to add that function to your website
So a person has your app installed
They click on a link to your website through the browser or something
You want them to receive the pop up that asks if they want to go to your site using the app or the mobile browser
Hopefully someone can actually answer your question

One more example :
If you installed on your phone ebay application, and trying to access
To this link, the popup showen and ask u with which app
To open it - with ebay app or web-browser, how do i do it ??
