[Q] Trick Market into thinking your Phone is a Tablet/New Phone? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So the new Zinio app came out, and it is offering 24 free magazines to anyone who downloads the app before June 15th. However, it is only compatible with these devices:
Android 3.0 Honeycomb Devices supported:
-Motorola Xoom, LG Optimus Pad, Acer Iconia Tab a500, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
Android Preload Devices (Android 2.2, 2.3, 3.0):
-Samsung Galaxy Tab, Samsung Galaxy S II, Dell Streak, Motorola Atrix, T-Mobile G2x, T-Mobile G-Slate
So I was wondering... how might one trick the market into believing our Incredible is one of those devices? I would really like to have the Zinio app.

I'd be more afraid the content would look wrong at the resolution and size we display at.

Afraid....really?
I'm also interested in this. I have a dell streak and its also not on the list.
I'm going to post on the Samsung forum to see if some one can dump the apk file

Thanks. Besides those, other phone can it support? e.g. Note 3.
If it's not listed, then it might not be. Best to email them directly for new phones... not hard surely?

Wtf is this doing in the Nexus 7 accessories section? Please take your ridiculous question to the proper forum, so that people can berate you over it there.
Thread Closed as it has nothing to do with Nexus 7 2013.....
BTW answer is in post #2.

[Q] When will 12.2 Pro be avaialble? Does Samsung upgrade large tablet every year?

Considering to get the Note 10.1 2014 or the 12.2 Note Pro. Is it true that the 12.2 Note Pro will be available for purchase in March? Somewhere I read that it will be the first week of March. During this waiting period, I am considering to get the iPad Mini Retina Display or iPad Air or Note 10.1 2014 and when the 12.2 Note Pro comes out, do a trade-in immediately when the 12.2 Note Pro is out. Do you expect that all the problems (e.g. lag, when the power is low, cannot use the device even it is plugged in to the electric socket because charging is slow, etc.) with the current 10.1 2014 will be fixed in 12.2 Note Pro? I read that recharging on the 10.1 2014 is slow but Samsung has not implemented faster charging via USB 3.0.
Latest rumor is for a Feb 14 release of the Pro series. Rumor is based on an internal Samsung memo restricting employee vacations that weekend.

What do you want?
The 10.1 and 12.2 are very different in size, if you need a bigger tablet your better off just waiting.

If possible, I want both the 12.2 and 8" versions.

The Tab|Pro 8.4 and 10.1 are the same price as the iPad Mini Retina and iPad Air respectively. The Note|Pro 12 prices are set at a new high for Android tablets. These aren't going to be jumping off the shelves; especially to the point of needing more staff to handle the throngs of anxious customers. If you break it down and de-emotionalize it the Tab/Note|Pro's they're just another set of high-end Android tablets with top tier h/w specs, a new user interface, and a bunch of included s/w that's all provided by third parties that are already available today for any Android tablet. That might be really exciting for us (N10.1-14 owners) and enthusiasts but does anyone here think Samsung's 2014 premium tablets are going to turn the market on end and have Apple quaking in their boots? I think they'll do well (+/-10-15M sold this year including the N10.1-14) but those aren't big numbers in the greater scheme of things when there will be +300M mobile devices sold this year by Samsung.
and yeah
at this point I expect the high-end to be updated each year. This year got the screen on the 10.1 from junk to quality resolution. Samsung should have a process-shrink on their chips in the next year, so likely higher-performance at lower power consumption chips will be available a year from now. I'll probably skip the next generation (unless it blends and makes ice cream) but my wife's 1st gen nexus 7 will be ready to be replaced in the next generation of 7".
On the size side, after a month with a 10", I would not want larger in a tablet. I can just barely palm the 10" in portrait mode. I love the larger screen compared to a 7", but the 7" fits in a jacket pocket and the 10" will not.
Anybody knows why Samsung does not make the Note Pro 8.4 available at the same time? Do they want us to buy the 12.2 first and when we feel that it is too heavy, they release the Note Pro 8.4?
Although I need a laptop to run engineer and CAD applications, most of the time I could do the web browsing and document typing/reading on a tablet I suppose. The Note Pro 8.4 is good to use when I am waiting at the bus stop or on the bus. The 12.2 is good when I use it at the restaurant while waiting for the foods.

I would prefer the Samsung eventually as I can make phone calls using the Pro 10.1 and 12.2. I can also access flash flash websites, have additional memory and most importantly S-pen.
Can anybody confirm whether or not the Pro 12.2 has native phone calling and receiving capability? I plan to get a headphone with a mic. Thanks.

Almost all Samsung's tablets come in 3G and/or 4G versions which have a Dialer and MMS app. Exceptions being the U.S. and Turkey. I have a 3G N10.1-14 imported from Latin America.
Does that mean the international 4G LTE version of the Note PRO 12.2 will have native phone capability?

Sample...
The Note|Pro 12 Wi-Fi is up for pre-order on the Samsung UK site. It's also got pictures of the tablet from all sides. Earlier, there was confusion about the placement of the USB 3.0 port with some pics showing center bottom and some showing center right. The official pics have it center right.

Pre-order the Note Pro 12.2 today and get a free Gamepad
£649.00
Scheduled to ship on Feb 4. 2014 in black or white
It seems that the one available for pre-order is not an international LTE version. Am I right?

So the 8.4 cellular model is out now?
I have pre-ordered the NotePro 12.2 LTE some weeks ago for 899 Euro. Big tab, big price. Even the iPad Air is cheaper.... (869€)
I am so excited !!
But - disappointment wouldn´t be a surprise.
Officially the release here in Germany is 8th calendar week, which has started today ! Cyberport assumes delivery on 21st February.. Just in 3 days.
Will give you my personal impressions here when it´s here.
Device arrived today here.
My unit´s display is yellowish at top, mainly top left and right corner.
Inacceptable for me personally, that´s why I´ll make a return and get another one,
Anything else:
UI ist ugly and stuttering. Pen is working fine, overall impression is really nice.
Will install another Launcher on the next unit.

[Q] Has anyone gotten screen casting to work?

Google released screen casting today and it stopped the beta support for the M7, which is a little weird, because I wouldn't think the phones were that different
Has anyone gotten it to work?

Does any body know anything about these devices?
Their profiles appeared at http://wap.samsungmobile.com/ and they look bad for new devices... Resolution is just 1024x768... Or may be, it some kind of developer board.

I could live with resolution but I am just so sick of Samsung and their craptastic updates. Same generation as Note 3 yet no lollipop insight. I paid T-Mobile $700 least they can do is treat their customers to reasonable updates
Any root on Galaxy Tab A 8" with S-Pen (SM-P350) ?
Guys there are roots for both 8 n 9 " Galaxy Tab A n Tab A plus.

Help me to decide

Hi guys, I do not decide between 3 smartwatch, could you help me decide which one to buy?
Samsung galaxy watch comes with tyzen and rotating bezel
Huawey Watch 2 comes with android wear without rotating bezel
Huawey watch gt new model, I do not know if it's better than the Watch 2
Important points:
I think having a rotating bezel gives a positive point to the clock
So I have read tyzen is not well optimized strong point for android wear
Then i dont decide between samsung or huawey... By the way i love cool watch faces like fallout pip boy or super mario faces,..
Which of the two operating system / clock has the most support on wahtcfaces?
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME GUYS

Samsung watch works will all android phones. Yes there are some difficulties with 4G watches, but ither then that is ok.
Huawei GT uses own OS, so no apps can be added. Also no free storage.
Not all functions are working correctly.
Then what should i choose? I wanna play pokemon go too on the watch
Maybe at future i woulda go to s10 when samsung release them
If you're planning on getting a Samsung phone I'd go with a Samsung watch just for the sake of compatibility.

No, for any Samsung watch, to get the most out of it, you should have a Samsung phone - that's the best integration.

No, the Galaxy Watch will work with either iPhone or Samsung Android phones, it just has better integration with Samsung phones (some integration features are not available with the iPhone). You are thinking about the apple watch which works only with the iPhone.

Samsubg tyzen or huawey wear os? I think wear os rules cause of optimization btw galaxy watch is beatufill and his watch faces amazing fck my brain gonna explode
I have both watches and both have a lot of bags. Huawei does not follow the steps precisely, The LTE version often freezes, the bluetooth connection with the handset (Xiaomi) works bad. The Samsung HR monitor is bad, you can not walk and measure. Also, Samsung products are no longer quality. My Gear S3 was 3 times in the Service, Galaxy watch 42mm came with an incorrect motherboard. For the past 10 years I have only had Samsung mobile phones. From Samsung 6 edge all models were on service, some model 4 times.
Garmin and FitBit are better than Huawei and Samsung, FitBit dont have lot of watch faces, both models are not for gaming.
Chinese watches with Android OS could be a better for gaming.
My recommendation would be to get whatever suits the platform you're currently on. Like for me, I already have an s9 and a tab s3. So the galaxy watch seemed the best fit. I just bought mine a few days ago and I have to say I'm really enjoying it thus far. And if you're into watch faces there are a lot on the galaxy app store. My favorite so far is q watch which is a nearly perfect replica of James Bond's watch from Goldeneye on N64. It's so dope lol.
That said, there are some things which I feel could make it better. For starters, there is not nearly enough support for smartthings. Neither my tv nor my soundbar can be controlled through the smartthings app on my watch despite being registered with the app on my phone. Small gripe but still...Also, texting is super frustrating. And the fact that it only has 4gb built in memory is a bit of a let down. Battery life is pretty decent. I got the 42mm and I get about 1 - 2 days on a charge. 46mm has even better than that. Physical design is pretty well. The silicone straps are surprisingly comfortable, the watch is self just feels like a quality build. Not cheap feeling at all. OS is laid out fairly well. Only took me a couple hours to really learn the ins and outs. Works pretty seamlessly with the S9. But limited compatibility with anything else thus far (samsung devices such as tablet, tv, and soundbar). Overall I'd still give it a solid 8/10. I very much reccomend especially if you're planning to get a samsung phone at any point in the near future.
is Samsung HR monitor really as as bad as all says ?
Can Galaxy watch be used as fitness tracker or it would make more sense just go for stratos 2 ?
Then for should i go? My thing is connect me. To play store and on tyzen u cant (if im correct..) maybe on gslaxy watch theres a way to install play store? I dont love tyzen.. But on quality galaxy watch seems OP with watch faces TT
