Okay, so here are a few questions I have regarding my new Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1:
1. I've noticed there is no file explorer. I tried DLing an apk, but I can't see it without the file explorer. What can I do? - Irrelevant. I downloaded a file explorer app which works great.
2. I've noticed that the default music app is the Music beta google app (that i've got on my SGS2). But for some reason it won't sync with my Google Music account. It doesn't even show up in the settings. What can I do?
3. Is there a fast way to sync all the android apps that I've got on my phone to the galaxy tab 10.1?
4. Is there no Honeycomb facebook app?
5. How can I delete / remove unused home screens? I have a few empty ones and I couldn't figure out how to remove them.
6. I can't seem to find a Hebrew keyboard that came with the device even though the device itself supports Hebrew (I can make Hebrew the OS default language)
7. Is there a way to close multitasking apps? In other words, can I close open apps that I see in the multitasking drawer?
8. I've uploaded onto the device a few videos, but the resolution is low and so I see it only in a little box in the middle of the screen. How can I fix that? I want to be able to see it full screen.
9. Can I make folders and put a few apps in them?
10. Is the Galaxy Tab 10.1's USB cable the same type as that of the iPad and the iPhone? If so, does that mean that I can use my iPhone's cable to charge it?
11. Should I download anything else that's worth having on a Honeycomb Tablet? Feel free to recommend apps
might have a few more as I keep playing with the device.
Thanks in advance for your help
1. Yup honeycomb did not ship with any file explorer. Use File Manager HD
5. You cant remove unused screens. Also you cant add additional
7. That is not a multitasking drawer. Think of it more of a recently used program list. An app can still show up in this drawer that is not running. You can't clear this list - however a reboot looks to do it.
1. I like ES File Explorer.

2. Search Google Music in the market, then click Update (kinda goofy you have to do it that way).
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.music
3. MyBackup will sorta. Doesn't backup settings for most apps though, so I find it kinda pointless, unless the phone and tablet are rooted, then Titantium Backup Pro would be better.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
4. No, browser is probably better than the Facebook for Android app.
5. No.
6. Don't know.
7. Advanced Task Killer.

8. Moboplayer might work better.

First of all, thanks for the help
I've tried doing that, and noticed the following:
I can't find the "Music by Google Beta" app on the app store on the tablet.
If I try to DL it from the market.android.com on my desktop etc, it won't let me because it says I'm not in the US.
The main problem is that it doesn't even recognize it in the Application and Sync area like it does on my Galaxy S 2.
I want to be able to stream music.
This seems as good of a place as any for the dumb android newbie questions... I keep all of my bookmarks in my google account via the google toolbar for IE. Is there no way to use them on the tablet? I see the option to sync chrome bookmarks,but from what i understand they are different than google toolbar bookmarks.

Google Music Beta only available in the US at this time.
Looks like Amazon Cloud Drive might be restricted to the US only too.
AudioGalaxy is kinda cool, it streams music from a computer to your tablet, might be worth a look.
9. No folders on Android, no need for them. All your apps are kept in an app drawer in easy to find alphabetical order. And you drop icons to your home screen that you want.
10. No, the cable is not compatible with Apple's cable.

I don't know how the Google toolbar for IE works. But the tablet will sync bookmarks from the desktop Chrome browser (if you enable sync on the browser).
Here's my noob question: what the heck is up with the volume buttons. It seems three times out of four they seem to be going the wrong way. I haven't seen any comments yet on it, have been starting to wonder if it's just me

Well the button does feel like it's mounted upside down if you hold it in portrait mode with the power/volume buttons in the upper right side.
However I've never see a situation where 1 out of 4 times the buttons change. Sounds like it might just be how you are holding the tablet and accidentally pushing the wrong button? Which I think it easy because it does feel like the buttons should be opposite of how they really are. Especially if you've had an iPad, which is in the same spot, but flipped around.

Yeah, Chrome bookmarks are stored differently from Google toolbar bookmarks. I've read that one uses Google Docs, while the other uses something else. Google toolbar settings are tied to your Google account, and it's available for various platforms (but apparently not Chrome). I'm dumbfounded that I can't access them on a Google device.
I don't know how well or if it works on Honeycomb, but AnySoftKeyboard has a Hebrew option I believe. (as well as many other languages, even Esperanto )
I have another one... how do you turn down the ticks and beeps for keyboard and button feedback? I found 3 volume sliders, but none of those affect them.

Try Settings -> Language and Input ->
There is a section for each keyboard with options for sound and vibration.

Not if you rotate counter clockwise.
Running tasks v5 rom, much better than before, but still get a lot of freezes (forcing a hard reset by me) or force closes where the browser disappears. Nyone else getting these yet?
No browser freeze on mine.
I have problem accessing seekingalpha.com. Browser (stock) wouldn't load content and than just chrashes. It happens everytime, with no exeptions. Could someone try to open it and let me know what happens?

I'm not web expert, so I don't know what's going on with this site, or in what "technology" is it written. But, they have changed site recently, and since than it started to be extremely slow on my HTC Desire (Gingerbread), like beating the hell out of the processor. And now I found out that crashes Honeycomb browser.
Is there any way to contact Google to point them to this problem? I couldn't find it...
Opera or Dolphin can open it. But also, there are some rendering problems in Dolphin with left column (adds and some links on the top). It's dynamic (moving with you as you scroll the page), so that could be source of the problem.
I haven't had a problem with this site really, mostly when the keyboard is up (using Swiftkey) or quickly scrolling. Also other things like samsung email app and a few games seem to cause problems.
All seems very random and infrequent, can't find a pattern to them yet.
Just got my first browser FC today, happened twice when trying to add a bookmark
could this be a hardware problem? The tab freezes several times a day, usually on the browser (use that the most too), also in exchange email app and various games. It's driving me nuts. Tried every rom out there as well as stock and pershoots kernel.
Anyone have any ideas? It's driving me crazy and I'm curious if I could have a serious problem or if it's something the right update could fix.
I use Dolphin for Pad browser (not Dolphin mini or HD). Never had a FC.
tried dolphin. No difference.
have u tried the v6.1, got some (few) lags on v5 but v6.1 is smooth (for me) now
Yes, I've tried 5,6, 6.1,overcome, starburst. Makes no difference.
In Dolphin use the desktop agent instead of Android. It' their mobile site that causes the problem. If your rooted you should be able to set the stock browser to desktop also.
There is a function in the built in browser that says sync with google chrome. I have tried to logon to my google account there, but nothing happens. If I could sync my bookmarks with google I would never use any other browser.
Anybody got it to work and want to share the secret?
One more question is about flash. I have got it working in the built in browser, but not in Opera mini, my son also have a 10.1 and he can use flash in Opera.. He says he has not done everything special. Why doesn't it work for me?

Hmmm.... this isn't the 10.1" section, but nevertheless :
1; Install the Chrome-browser from the market, sync with your PC, then use the buit in browser to sync with the installed Chrome...
2. Some browsers support flash , some not without installing it. I use Dolphin HD...

Sorry for misnavigation.. If any mod see this, plz move to the right section.
1. Is there really a chrome-browser for android? I cant find it in the market. I can find some sync tool called chromemarks, is it that one you mean?
2. I know some browsers dont support flash, but my son and both tried Opera mini, and it works in his tab but not in mine.

Market
I suppose you both have the same FW installed, or does your Tab have different ROM in it ? Maybe you should look for a working install for Flash then and try if it improves anything...
Here's the solution that will fix your problem.
Follow the instructions below, do not skip any steps.
Desktop Chrome Settings
1. Go to Settings
2. Go to Advanced Sync Settings
3. Choose either Sync Everything or ensure Open Tabs is ticked
Android Settings
1. Go to your System Settings
2. Under Accounts, go to Google
3. Select your Google Account email address
4. Ensure Chrome is ticked
Android Chrome Settings
1. Go to Settings
2. Under Basics, click on your Google Account email address
3. Tick Chrome to Mobile
4. Click on Sync
5. Choose either Sync Everything or ensure Open Tabs is ticked
Now, the tabs you open in your desktop will be available on your Android, under the Synced Tab (at the bottom, next to the Favourites (star) tab).
The tabs you open in your Android will also be available on your desktop, under Menu -> Recent Tabs.
Is anyone else experiencing problem with Opera after updating to ICS? I have been having nothing but issues since I updated. Fortunately for me I am not having the random reboot issue.
1. I can only have Opera open for a few minutes before it decides to close.
2. With the option selected to view pages in desktop mode Yahoo refuses to. I always have click the Desktop link at the bottom of the mobile page.
3. I cannot log into XDA either.
Yes, I have cleaned out the cache along with all the other stored data. After having Opera open for as few minutes it will still close.
Opera worked perfect for me before updating to ICS. I don't know if this is an Opera problem or a ICS/Asus problem?
I use Opera as my main browser, before and after ICS, and am not having a problem. It is more stable than the default browser for me.
I should add that I don't use the Opera Link or Opera Turbo options, in case you are using them.
Had a few problems with Opera

I had little issues here and there but not like you stated. The last few updates helped out. If you have opera link set up I would blow away the install and try again. If not try killing the cached process in ics settings not just the running process.
I recently got windows 8 for my pc and tested out some of the browsers only to find at this moment in time Internet Explorer is the one with the best metro ui so I decided to wait till the others got updated and stick with IE(for the time being).
However there's one major thing that's annoying me and that's that my default search engine has been turned to conduit and there's no simple setting to get rid of it and uninstall conduit can anybody help me please?
Did you change it in Desktop mode? Internet Options -> Programs -> Manage add-ons -> Search Providers?
