Thought it might be handy for any new S2 users, a bit late for me, but would have been nice to have know these features when I got it
Enjoy

Interesting about the browser user agent! Well there you go... I thought people were producing hacks to provide this feature, or was that only for the sgs1?

IIRC, the hack was to make it a menu option, rather than having to type in the URL every time. Also, I'm pretty sure it resets every time you restart the browser, so a menu option is obviously a bit more convenient!
(Apologies if any of that is explained in the video - I watched it without audio!)

Anyone?????

Look at the first replay here!
Not available in 3.0.1 so far on all tablets.
It's very irritating, as it stops me leaving reviews (I would like to review many apps, but I won't go to the effort of finding them on the browser).
Guess I'll have to keep my comments to myself until the feature is added, but frankly, I can't believe it wasn't added in the first place.
I don't think it's in 3.1 either, actually.

Same Issue in 3.1 ...
Many apps don't scale the text right and those tiny lists would surely get app ratings down which would be unfair to the devs.

Well not really; if their app doesn't run well on Honeycomb, I think it's fair for Honeycomb users to give it an honest rating. Emphasis on honest, of course... no flippin' "one-star until feature X/ until Y fixed"...
Unless I've misunderstood what you were saying!
Having said that though, if an app doesn't run well in Honeycomb for me, I much prefer to contact the dev directly (at least that feature exists in Honeycomb's market) and get an answer as to what's up. The devs are only too happy to answer questions, usually, and you can get feedback to them directly, giving them a chance to work on it without just leaving a review.
Agreed. I'd very much like to rate the good apps that are well designed for tablets as well...
Thank you all for your help.

I made a couple of videos for the Tab 10.1

Hey guys,
Just wanted to share some of my work so there are more views than just me on my videos
I know they're not of the highest production value, and I kind of jump around quite a bit (was a few beers deep at this point), but if you're on the fence or just want to see how someone else has their device setup, this may help:

Hi,
Thanks for this "unpolished" review. I guess I really understand why people complain about the lags and FCs when scrolling and resizing. Did not see them in all those "professional" reviews. Do they get special hardware units or did you mess up your tablet so badly? Just kidding.
Overall quality could be improved in for next videos but unlike common YouTube-sense I liked this lengthy review so much that I featured it on my blog if you don't mind....

Spb tablet UI....

This app ...so called spb shell 3d version 5.0 ....is freakin awsum...see the demo video by searching on google this threads title.....I don't have it...does anyone know its release date??

Looks great. But running that in background of a actual useful app.say a game even browsing the net is the question. Looks CPU graphic intense.
It does look pretty cool, but I agree with Erica. I'd be afraid that it would be too much of a resource hog and bog down my tablet. Be nice to show off to the friends so they can witness the awesomeness of my Acer, but I probably wouldn't want it for everyday use.
I don't think it would consume enough resources and lag the device.....as far as spb goes...even at the release of the current version of spb..(which iss now available in the market)..it was thought to slow down any device...but it didn't....

I don't know... something about it is, kinda.. off... I can't put my finger on it. I mean it certainly has the eye-candy... but is it forsaking eye-candy for functionality? *shrug*
We have to look past the silky smooth actions here - everything looks great when you hand keyframe the animations just nice and perfect. It's still in concept so I have to reserve judgment until there is something more along the lines of an alpha/beta. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.
I hope it they release the app soon.....they launched the concept video in early march.....the launcher was for honeycomb....they better launch before android 4.0.....

I have this for the Evo, look for it market: SPB Launcher 3D. It is great. Add more screens, and the integration with all the Widgets make it a smooth transition from any other launcher.
As for CPU usage. I found that it ran better then my HTC: S with animated wallpaper.
I am really waiting on this to be released for the tablet. As my a500 could really use more screens and the customization features of this launcher.
i am using the SPB shell on my galaxy s i9000 slighlty overclocked 1.1Ghz. it works very well, does not slow down anything.
it is really great to use.
Spb launcher for tabs is out......

Ya. Clearly.
I bought it for my Charge, didn't work well. Market wouldn't show it for the A500, so I downloaded a bootleg apk just to see if it worked. Basically said this is an incompatible device and closes. I still want to see what it can do on the tab, since it's far more powerful than my phone.

Go to Settings/Advanced and disable Enable Javascript option.
Edit: Damn wrong button. You've just got a free thanks from me (they should make the button smaller).
Edit2: I wonder how many sites depend on Java. Maybe I could just leave it off. It's a shame that we can't select on a site to site basis.

Yes I know that but TBH I was under the assumption that he meant javascript because I also don't see a way to disable Java on my device. Even about:debug doesn't have this setting.
Besides web pages often use javascript not java.

Many sites use javascript, and you'll lose a lot of functionality within a site if it's turned off in your browser, such as popup notifications for messages on this site. This is the only site I turn it off while browsing on. I find it funny that a site for handheld and tablets is so draining on them.

This is a site devoted to development. Development is done on PCs. Do any forums work well in a phone web browser? The nature of forums is such that a dedicated app makes sense. Not a new concept.

Here's a fact for you. Most people browsing the tablet sections of this forum, are on their tablets, or phones via xda app, not on PC's. I don't give a rat's azz where the development is done, as that's irrelevant as to what they're browsing the site on. So that agruement falls flat on it's face the very second it leaves your lip, or fingers as that may be

[For Hire] Vibrant Bible App

Im looking for Someone that can make me a decent android app that makes it easier for people to access my Vibrant Bible (Im sure you guys know of it)

And thank you for being Supportive
$100?
You're ballin'
Sounds like a great idea!
You might also want try posting under the Main Android Directory Themes and Apps, will get more exposure there too.
probably the easiest way for someone to do this would be to manipulate the xda app/tapatalk app so it just opens to the bible thread.
with that said, youre offering a lot of money for something that is already very easy. just favorite the bible thread in one of these apps, or put a bookmark on your homescreen for instant access.
This would be a sweet app.

I don't really think that it's the app's fault. After all, they draw from the same database that a computer browser would - only it gets displayed for mobile viewing pleasure. I could be wrong, but I think it's just how fast your data connection speed is on your phone, and whether or not you're using wifi or regular signal.
While it wouldn't take a lot of work to probably make a little somethin' somethin' to have the bible displayed a certain way, you'll still probably run into the same issue as data flows from the same sources.
