Hi everyone,
I have Galaxy Tab 8.9 (GT-P7310) with stock Android 3.2 and there is Firewall in Settings allowing to set which application has access to the Internet and which doesn't.
On my Galaxy Tab 7.7 (GT-P6800) also with stock Android 3.2, Firewall in Settings is missing. Where is it and how can I get it there?
I haven't noticed any stock firewall in setting. But you can install avast internet security which is available for free on play store and you can set which apps you want internet access or not.

Thanks for your reply. But let me be more specific. I'm not looking for any 3rd party solution (I already use one), I'm intrested in this particular firewall.
Attached is screenshot from Galaxy Tab 8.9. And my question is - is this standard Android's feature or is it added by Samsung? Can I have this firewall also in my Galaxy Tab 7.7?
That feature is not incorporated into the 7.7 software

Galaxy Tab
Bought in Hong Kong
Problem is that lots of what are probably standard apps for you on Galaxy Tab-like:
Skype
Ultimatejuice
Robo defense paid upgrade
Air control paid upgrade
A million more
For me, my "market" can not find them. And if I goto a website with the pcname, I get the error that it doesn't exist. But I know they do.
I have already tried accessing through a vpn tunnel, so I know it is not as simple as IP controls.
So I am thinking that there may be some region setting which I can change.
Help please!
I have root on my device.
Do you have apps that you know exist for your Tab that you can not get due yo not found? Where did you buy your Tab?

i can't seem to install most apps from marketplace, eg angry birds. It prompts me that it cannot be installed in my country (Malaysia) but i was able to download it on my Galaxy S before and i can even download angry birds and other apps on my Samsung Galaxy tab without any issues. What's the issue with Iconia A500? Anyone with similar issues?

To access the market in unsupported countries you will have to set up a vpn to connect through. If you connect through an american vpn you will have full market access

Use market enabler for rooted devide. U won't have any issues
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
hey everybody, major props to all the devs and everyone helping out on xda in general. So the whole "country" issue when it comes to installing apps is the same in dubai. I rooted my a500, installed tor n orbot and got them working with firefox... also installed marketenabler, not exactly sure about how its supposed to work... I long press any of the fake networks and choose the "run now" option. What's the right thing to do next? Total android noobie here and any help would be most appreciated. Thanks guys
If you can compile a small list of apps that you would like to download that are free (or not free if I happen to have them) that you would like to obtain, let me know and i'll place them in my Dropbox for download on here. Since i'll be doing this from my own account, though, try to keep the list to a minimum. So discuss the list amongst yourselves and try to narrow it to no more than 5-10 apps and i'll see what I can do!

Edit:
Something else you can try is www.4shared.com. If you search for apk files you may have pretty decent results too.
I have noticed that the Google Market on Android 3.0 is much more aggressive in enforcing the location limitation :-(
I was able to overcome the limitation and download some US-specific apps by following these steps on an rooted device:
1. run Market Enabler and choose a US carrier
2. make your tab location-blind by going to settings / location & security / uncheck all of the following: "use wireless network", "use GPS" and "use location for Google search"
3. go to Settings / Applications / Manage Applications / All / Market. Click "Force stop" and click "clear data" (AFAIK, no important data will be lost, Market will retrieve the list of installed Apps automatically)
4. Activate US VPN account
5. run Market.
I now can download all types of goodies. Your mileage may vary. HTH.

edit : can come to us market and install google earth, but still many apps i cant install
edit 2 : so now i can download all apps that befor i cant, the way is all above + make new google account using us based vpn ...
That's one heck of a generous offer and finally a solution... for some. Btw I think this is the first time this country/appmarket problem has been resolved. No other sound sources for a solution on the internet. You gentlemen r rockstars.
Which makes the persistence of my problem all the more frustrating. How would u suggest I use a U.S. vpn? I tried bestfreevpn since it obviously worked for the last post-er. Nothing happened, app market wouldn't stop 'loading' and internet browsing also stopped working (the telecom big brother in dubai is hitler on steroids, I'm sure they've got every thing to do with this and every other global tragedy). Anything I can do with orbot, tornetwork? Coz I tried accessing the app market thru firefox and it thought my IP was based in germany. I've also created a U.S. based gmail account but that didn't make any diff either.
Again, sorry for the noobieness and thanks.

Thanks "harlaquin"
I've rooted my device. Please send me the link of "New Android Market".
I found one. It's working on my Galaxy S (Phone) i don't know if it's working on A500 (Tablet).
Thanks
you can find links in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166152
Sorry, doesn't fixed
Many of the apps aren't supported on tablets yet. I am having the same issue trying to download one of my paid apps to my A500 as well. Need to find a way to let the market know I am connecting with a Samsung Galaxy as it has been tested to work with the program and the market will let it be downloaded.

Probably a combination of things: for one, some apis aren't available for the iconia, or for tablets, period. The other issue is locale. Some apps, for instance, are only available in the US.
The long awaited Samsung Drive Link has finally released by Samsung to the Samsung App store :
http://www.samsungapps.com/topApps/topAppsDetail.as?productId=G00008708915
This adds Mirrorlink support to the Galaxy S3 so that it can communicate with Mirrorlink compatible devices such as the Alpine ICS-X8 app link station.
Off to test it now..
any chance you can pull the apk for me buddy:cyclops:

Same here.
AFAIK the app has been released in the UK. Cant find the logic but it might only work there for now.
Or maybe only on UK based roms.

I'm in the UK and have the same issue. I suspect that its a bug at the moment judging by the comments on the samsung app page :
http://www.samsungapps.com/topApps/topAppsDetail.as?productId=G00008708915&isCommentCall=Y#
Its new software so its probably work in progress still as there seems to be limited features at the moment.
BTW, has anyone tried Sat Nav software other than Goole Navigator yet? e.g. CoPilot? Does it work?

It installs and works fine on the latest CM10 release. Seems it doesn't need Touchwiz to function properly
Been testing it and so far Navigation supposed to work with Google Navigation and TelNav I'm currently on a country not supported by both but it recognises them
Also shortcuts aren't working as I thought so, Twitter isn't any where go find even after I added my account just Facebook messages

Can't change the default number set on the shortcuts
No music song can be added in shortcuts dvdn if it says so
It keeps the phone on also so watch the battery if not connected while driving
Hoped for at least Google Maps on the Navigation menu but no so no usd fof countries not supported by Navigation

yes i noted it keeps the phone on even if you turn screen off, which said turn sceen off with nav running and by by gps lock..
almost forgot only numbers i could chose was ones i set as favorites
I bought this phone specifically for the MirrorLink capability. Thanks for posting the apk. I'm going to try to sync it with my car on my way home.
Anyone know why they didn't make the app available in the US?
they just released update for this app, i hope they fixed the screen timing out issue and running in the background draining battery issue

Thanks for the info. Looks like the screen time out issue is fixed. Can't see much else new. Wish they would post a changelog with each release. Anyone know if any other Sat Nav Apps are supported yet other than the default Navigator?
Anybody have the latest APK for us USA users?
at the moment it's buggy.
confirmed on my device:
- screen won't turn off some times while installed (not even started). solved uninstalling
- overheating and higher battery usage while installed (think solved uninstalling)
one question: someone did test it with mirrorlink car monitor? i really wanted to buy one, (sony)
but i want to know if you can manage only the drivelink screen or also other applications..
if only the drivelink it's not really interesting...!

I have an Alpine ICS-X8 app link station which uses Mirrorlink from the GS3. Currently the only applications that are supported at the moment are the ones in drive link. i.e. Google Navigator Sat Nav, and Internet Radio apps TuneIn and Radioclock App. More app support should hopefully be coming.
Currently the Nokia Drive supports MirrorLink the best. It lets you run just about every application from the phone using a feature called "MirrorMode". Here's a demo on youtube showing Angry Birds running on the car dash headunit via Nokia phone....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCDuwXJ3zcg
Samsung need to pull their finger out of their arse as DriveLink sucks at the moment compared to the Nokia Drive offering.
Samsung DriveLink I would class as Alpha software at this stage, as it has so many problems and limited features.

What kind of remote control ? Against theft ? For that, the samsung has it's own remote control service. If you have a Samsung account set-up on your Galaxy S3, go to : http://www.samsungdive.com/DiveMain.do
For total remote access, I don't know. But if it's possible, it may create vulnerability on your device (because it will able to receive instructions from other devices).

Airdroid is goof if you just want to use a browser to send text messages etc.
I have mine set up with tasker to fire up automatically when my phone joins the works wifi network. That way I can text all day without ever having to touch my phone
You could also try DroidVNC for more complete control of the device.
Try Moborobo, you can control your phone from Pc as if your phone is on your hands

Hi guys!
Got a HK I9300 a few weeks ago! the phone is still stock.
I am currently on mainland China, on a China Mobile sim card, must also add i do get access to Google Play (so no need to change to change roms for now)
Problem though is that i wanted to add some security to the phone, with the "remote control". Registered on Samsung Dive, Google, allowed google locations,... and when i go to remote controls and press "ok", i get " Unfortunately, Settings has stopped"
i would like to know if anyone had the same problems or is it remote controls is not supported for mainland china?
Thanks ... really want to keep track of my phone in case it gets stolen
