Means it has a more usable "Desktop mode" instead of enabling "force desktop mode" in develoepr menu. Thnaks.

I use LauncherPro for my homescreen. LP Allows you to set up a shortcut to virtually anything on your phone. I noticed today when I was looking for the UAString setting that there is a "TV Out" Setting. Unfortunately, this process crashes immediately when I try to run it.
If you have LauncherPro, check out the following:
>Press+Hold Home Screen to get the "Add" menu
>Shortcuts
>Activities
>Settings
You will find "TV Out" - com.android.settings.TvOutSettings - between "Horizontal Calibration" and "Dock Settings." There's also a "Lock Screen Wallpaper" setting - do we have that?
Can anyone with DK28 try plugging in that 3.5 Mini-to-RCA cable and see what happens?
This is known about, but we don't have drivers that support it. Maybe once we get froyo source.
Generally, you can enable USB Debugging by selecting
Settings option -> Applications -> Development -> Check the box for USB Debugging to turn it on
But sometimes, the checkbox for 'USB Debugging' is unchecked and greyed (in my case). That's because the tab is currently using another USB setting scheme which disabled the USB Debugging.
There are 4 setting scheme under Setting option->Wireless and Network->USB setting:
Samsung Kies
Media Player
Mass Storage
Ask on connection
Normally the "Samsung Kies" is selected. Change it to "Ask on connection" and go back to Setting->Applications->Development->USB Debugging, you will find it is enabled and can be checked.
You're right. The pre-configured USB connection mode will override some detailed options.

I find this a pain to drill thru the menus to switch this on an off when needed. Has anyone found a widget that can control this from the home screen. I've looked and yet to find one. Since I have an AT&T SGT I have to frequently turn USB debugging on when using the Sideloading Wonder Machine app as AT&T locked out the option for sideloading apps normally. Again, it's a pain to drill thru the menus.
If you use ADW Ex (may work with ADW or another launcher that provides "Activity" or intent based shortcuts), you can create an icon that will take you directly to the page with Application options. To get to it in ADW Ex, choose add "Custom Shortcut", tap "Pick your activity", click "Activities", scroll down to "Settings", tap to expand, tap "Development(.DevelopmentSettings)" and that will directly bring up the page with the USB Debugging checkbox. I'm not sure if that particular activity was in ADW's list, but I know for certain it's in ADW Ex, as I have such an icon on one of my screens.

You're awesome! Works in a P1010 (wifi only) Tab as well, same options. Thanks!
I'm working on a side project to come up with a proposal for a better way of deploying apps. In a perfect world, a customer would come the a download portal webpage. It would have some text and then provide a "Download" button, which would animate as some form of progress indicator while the apk is downloading. Once done, the button would change to an "Install" button if the "allow non market apps" option is checked. Otherwise we would have a button to "change settings" which would launch the phone/tablet settings page where they could check "allow non market apps". My question is, is any of this possible? Is this possible via javascript? Android activex equivalent? etc?
So for a long time the only issue I have with this device is that while writing on the device, or holding it watching videos or similar accidental pressing of the hardware buttons can be a pain. I always thought it would be ideal to quickly be able to turn the hardware buttons on and off. As it turns out this was always available without root, but not obviously, so if this is of interest read below:
To disable the hardware buttons you need to enable interaction control. This allows you to disable access to certain parts of the screen (not needed), and is typically intended for expo type use, or giving the tablet to children. However while active this mode also cuts all input from the home, back and menu buttons ( ).
Open settings, Device, Accessibility, then scroll all the way to the bottom, and turn on interaction control.
If you read the text it tells you that this can be enabled with the home/volume down combo, or a triple press of home if enabled in "direct access". All good, if you are happy with the home/volume down combo you are all set. However the problem is that I would prefer the triple home option, and in my current rom based on stock 4.4.2 (and possibly therefore on stock as well) Samsung seems to have completely omitted the "direct access" option within the settings menu.
Without the ability to activate "direct access" you are stuck with the home/volume down combo as the only way to enable/disable the feature. However I noticed that the "direct access" menu option was available on my galaxy s4, and that Samsung gives the option to import/export accessibility settings between devices. So I quickly enabled the triple home option on my s4, exported the accessibility options and imported them onto my note 10.1 2014. This worked perfectly, and I can now enable or disable the hardware keys with a simple triple press of the home button.
For those of you without access to another samsung device here is the accessibility settings file to import

This doesn't work for me. I get an error telling me it cannot activate while multi-window is in use, even though only one window is open when I attempt this.

You have to un-check multi-window option from pulled down notification first. Samsung should change the meassage to " disable multi window option " rather than say "while multi-window is in use"

Settings, device, accessibility, manage accessibility, update, then select the file.
How do I use this feature? It's always asking me to "enable Alexa in settings" when it's already enabled.

You can reset your Fire tablet into factory defaults.
