[Q] Does the Galaxy Tab have a Digital Compass (Magnetometer)? - Galaxy Tab General

As the title suggests really, haven't been able to find a concrete answer either way when look around. Does the GT have this feature, so you can use things like Google Skymap and augmented reality?

Yes.

[Q] handwritten notes app?

is there any GOOD handwritten note apps (like something I could functionally use to take note on my 10" Viewsonic G-tab?) something similar to Dan Bricklin's® Note Taker HD App for the iPad maybe?
Try "Most It".. By far the best notes app I have tried.. I don't know how would it work on a tablet but you can give it a try..

Controllers for tablets

Hi there,
Is it possible to make a phone a controller for your tablet? I have a galaxy s2 and galaxy tab 10.1 - it would be great to be able to use my phone as the wireless controller...
Has this already been achieved? If so, please point me in the right direction...!

You'll have to provide more more information than that. What do you want to control?
Otherwise it's just like saying "I want a transport vehicle" and it could be anything, car, bike etc. You get my point

What I figure Freddie means is what I've been looking for as well - to use your Android phone as a gamepad or otherwise for your Android tablet, similar to the SNES HD app for the iPad:

There is great support for exterior controllers like the Wiimote being used for emulators and games on phones and tablets, but porting this method of using your phone as the controller itself is a great way for people who don't already own/don't want to buy another accessory.
I would assume it'd be similar to broadcasting your phone as a BT keyboard, and then using various button mappings fullscreened to create the gamepad. If an Android phone can receive input from a device, why couldn't it broadcast it?
Indeed!
Why use a gamepad when i could use my phone!

Tab 2 or note 10.1

If i use the tablet to surf and email..just basic things and watch movies. Would the tab 2 10.1 be sufficient enough because i don't wanna spend $500 for the note 10.1 if the tab will be fine. And how have the official updates been for the tab2... Thx in advance

I would say for basic stuff, you should be fine with the Tab2. The big reason to get the Note 10.1 over the Galaxy Tab 2 IMO would be if you used it for note taking, or artistic work, because you would have the S-Pen. Updates for the wifi only models have been coming about one per month from what I can tell, not sure about the 3G model. There hasn't been anything recently though, but I'm guessing that Samsung is spending time getting a Jelly Bean update ready rather than continuing to work with ICS. I'd guess that we'd get an official Jelly Bean OTA shortly after the SGS3 does, given the recent "leaks" popping up on SamMobile.
The tab 2 will keep you happy.
I wish my 7 was a 10 sometimes.
Install cm10 in this tab and you will make all basic and advanced tasks

tab1:
1-tegra2 better in some games that need tegra chip but not better in videos as no neon libraries so less extesions work for videos
2-android honeycomb 3 not ics or jelly bean officially
3-front camera 2 mpixels back camera has flash
4-no sd card slot
tab2:
1-omap processor which is open architecture so more development friendly and operate more video extensions
2- ics official out of the box and leaked jelly bean (i think official in the near future)
3-front camera vga back camera has no flash
4-sd card slot up to 32 gb and some managed to operate 64 gb
5-thicker by about 1mm
6-front speakers so better audio directed to you
I recommend tab2 and install cm10 in it work good in this tab

I think tab 2 is a good option..only cons are no AMOLED display, No adobe flash player support and mediocre camera without flash.. if you don't mind these then tab 2 is an excellent choice

For me no as i install apps from google play and not from unknown sources, i think i'm safe
May be will install one to scan my tab then uninstall if find it resource heavy

If you aren't installing random apps from the Market and aren't sideloading pirated apps (shouldn't do that anyway), my opinion is that you should be safe without an AV app. From what I've seen on various android news sites, most issues come from China, and only happen to get to the US and other western countries when they get popular on the Play Store before getting pulled by Google. The other source is pirated apps.

page turning app?

Hello first time poster here
I am looking for the app that is commonly seen on the nexus 5 where some one is using an e reader app and when turning the page it actually looks as though a large is being turned. Die anyone know what the name of this app is ?
Thank you!
Google play books?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Moon Reader also does this if you enable it in settings. Nicer and more realistic than Google Play Books. Looks like iBooks.

Screencast + Google Slides

Is there any good app for the Note 10.1 2014 that will allow me to record screencasts of presentations I've done for class using Google Slide files?
I want to use Explain Everything, but it's a bit one limited compared to the iOS version.
