Hi,
Thanks for your time, I need some help!
On my Tab S, downloads from some sites run fine, while from others the orange webpage progress stripe travels across the top of the screen, but nothing happens. No files appear in downloads foler or notifications. If you long-press & select open in new window, the new window is just blank.
It is this device, not the files, as the same files open fine on other devices.
It's not the browser - same problem if tried in Chrome, Explorer or Firefox.
It's not the .pdf viewer, of which I have several working fine.
McAfee security software maybe causing problem??
This problem only started about the end of May ... so maybe an update caused the problem?
80% of download files work fine. 20% do nothing.
The biggest problem I'm having is with my cloud accounting software “Xero” - on this device, .aba banking files, .jpeg & .pdf ...any file actually .. from Xero.. will now not work on this device. Files from Xero used to work on this device, & they still work on my phone.
Here's another example. This .pdf from Suncorp DOES open on this Tab S device no problem, both in cloud viewer & downloaded to device:
(not allowed to post the link, so put the terms ".pdf Suncorp" into Google seach, click on the .pdf titled "Module: Introduction - Suncorp Group")
However, this file - also a .pdf from Suncorp - will not download on the Tab S, but it works fine on my phone (same McAfee package is used on the phone (Galaxy 4) so I don't really think McAfee is the problem either):
On the Tab S - for some seemingly random files - the download just doesn’t seem to start anymore. ??!?!
On the google search page, a long press on the .pdf files brings up "open in PDF viewer" as a menu option for some PDFs and not for others ... maybe this is a clue?
As noted above, this random refusal to download acurs with other files types as well, not just PDFs.
Any suggestions? I use this device mostly for accounting & banking, so this problem is a real pain!
With thanks for you time,
Michelle.
(Galaxy Tab S, model SM-T805Y).

I bought the expandable/foldable xda keyboard from o2 for my xda, but my phone crashed and I lost the cd a few months ago. I don't have any documents that would tell me about the makers website so I have no idea about what to do. Does anyone know where you can download the installation software
Here you are
Dear you is what you need to install to make it work. Note that you should DISABLE the "recieve all incoming beam" option in the setting to aviod possible port conflict when using the foldable keyboard.
HTH
How do you install this CAB file?
Ken,
I finally got a G7B0 folding keyboard for my SX56 (XDA). I lacked the CD, so I downloaded the driver from the Darfon site that was labeled G7B0. I installed it and it turned up on the list of Programs on the phone, but nothing happens when I put it on the keyboard. And when I click on the lower right corner, I get the usual list of choices (letter recognizer, on-screen keyboard, etc) but no mention of the folding keyboard. It does appear in "Remove Programs" as being in memory, though.
I downloaded the CAB file you attached (thank you) and clicked on it; au unzip program appeared and extracted seven files, ending in .001, .002, etc.
Now what? I can transfer these into the phone, but in which directory? And how do I get the phone to recognize and use these?
Dan
Dear Boston,
The file I attached here is already in .CAB format, You need not extract the file, just copy it to whatever location you prefer on your device (XDA) and then double click on it for self-installation.
Once the installation is complete, the keyboard icon should appear in the program menu and not in the "input method panel" in the lower right corner.
Once it's complete, activate the program, and in the window of setting, select "Keyboard" (not Infrared and serial). And as I mentioned, to aviod possible port conflicts, UNselect the "recieve all incoming beam" in the setting window.
HTH
Ken
Thanks
Jusy a note to say thank you to those who post replies to those of us who need to be spoon-fed when we hit problems, and to the site for archiving these replies.
Special thanks to Ken, I have just successfully installed the driver for a keyboard given to me by a friend.
Regards,
Dave
Does anyone know why some cab files open as atext webpage in PIE?
i'm trying to install supertasks 2.0 to my phone (no desktop pc nearby)
http://www.softwareandson.com/SuperTasks/download.php
It's a problem with the web page design. The cab file is not declared as the correct type on the web page. Unlikely that you can do anything to retrieve it on your PocketPC.
It downloads fine for me...strange.
Here's a trick: Right click on the item, and select "save link as..."
This should work.
HappyGoat - downloads fine for me too, on a *pc*
I think dah54 is right, can't do anything about it. Maybe Netfront will be able to d/l it.
I think its so stupid that a PDA is tied to a PC. It should be autonomous.

The Windows Phone Power Tools are a natural extension to the developer tools that come with the Windows Phone SDK. Instead of allowing you to only install developer xaps the Power Tools let you test update scenarios by allowing you to update an existing developer app. Instead of having to step through the IsolatedStorage file browser on the command line, the Power Tools provide a GUI to allow you to interact with your applications.
Looks like a useful tool. Thanks for the heads up.
On my LG Optimus 7, V7392, tha app crashes when accessing file explorer.
Deploying XAPs results with a crash to.
Thanks anyway
Yeah had a couple of crashes myself.
When adding files, it always ends up at the root folder of the isolatedstorage and it doesn't refresh the treeview so u can see the new files either.
Can somebody explain how to properly install this application?h
When I clicked on .application file it just installed
.appref-ms file in Start menu with this content:
http://wptools.codeplex.com/release...pplication#WindowsPhonePowerTools.application, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89698295f69f556b, processorArchitecture=x86
Clicking on it does not do anything.
If you have bug reports, I would suggest using codeplex as it has better tools to actually track that sort of thing in the issues section. Discussions are useful for any questions not related to specific bug/feature requests.
@sergoreg
A .application is usually a ClickOnce file and when you double click it should install the app. The .appref-ms extension is basically a pointer to the internally stored app location and it's quite easy to break this relationship. You could try uninstalling the app via the Control Panel and reinstalling via the .application file. It's rare but possible that you got a corrupted install.
If you're really savvy, you could locate where the app is stored in IsolatedStorage and double click on the .exe directly but it's a lot of work when this should just work for you.
great feature does anybody goy it working on windows 7 and android 4.1.2 ? :silly:

Hi Guys... Please follow the link of the thread that I did for whom need to have how to get the side sync phone screen app installed on non-Samsung PC… hope you enjoy it!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41243207#post41243207
yeah did found that thread but when installed can't find programm can't get it working on win 7
I found a semi-working app for non Samsung PCs, thanks to https://twitter.com/KashaMalaga
He posted the SideSync app, and a hacked SideSync.exe that runs on any PC, and they work on mu Compaq PC, but upon trying the connection with the SideSync app on my S3, it crashes (Force Close). I don't know if this is for all (bad hack of the exe), or it is my ROM (which is a stripped down version of Samsung EMD2, many bloatware removed, and many frozen useless apps)
While the Phone Screen Sharing works just fine, quite fast. no issues

i have installed it again and it seems to work fine now thanks !
Quick write-up:
First a YouTube video with the functions: http://youtu.be/HVvczhM5KxI
Links as posted by KashaMalaga on his twitter -> https://twitter.com/KashaMalaga
First link, full package: http://goo.gl/WcbGP
Second link, cracked sidesync: http://goo.gl/1RfeS
Extract both archives.
1. Open this folder from the first link: Side Sync 1.0.2.12 and execute the inst.exe file as admin. (Wait till its done)
2. Open this folder from the first link: Phone Screen Sharing 1.0.0.1 and execute the Chain_Install.exe file as admin. (Wait till its done)
3. Copy the file SideSync.exe from the second link and paste it in this folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\Side Sync
4. Of course overwrite
5. Grab your phone
6. Open Samsung Apps on your phone (Pre-installed on s3 en note 2 as far as I know).
7. Download Side Sync and Phone Screen Sharing (Both made by Samsung)
8. Go to settings -> Developer options -> Slide top right slider to on position -> Check Usb-Debugging
9. Hook up your phone to your pc (Wait a minute for windows to install drivers and such)
10. Open Phone Screen Sharing app on your phone
11. Open Phone Screen Sharing on pc
12. Let Phone Screen Sharing on pc look for updates and such and follow instructions.
13. Everything should work now.
Tips:
Notice that you have two hidden arrows on the side of the phone preview on your pc. Top and bottom.
Top arrow hides functions like taking a screenshot and taking a movie. It also hides drawing and file manager.
The bottom arrow seems to have the equivalent function of holding the home button (Sort of a task manager)
You can re-size the preview phone, just grab it at the top left corner.
You can drag files from your pc to your phone preview. It will always ask if its okay to overwrite even though its a completely new file.
To be honest we are only using the Phone Screen Sharing app.
I couldn't get the Side Sync to work, which in my opinion is only handy if you have a dock for your phone.
I think the functions of Side Sync and the Phone Screen Sharing app are identical (Its just missing the backup function).
NOTES:
I opened both files as admin, I don't know if its necessary.
Also, I just wrote down what I did. Its up to you how you deal with those files and if you trust them.
Working on S3, Paranoid 3.15, Win7, but just the Screen Sharing one.
alternative app.
there's an alternative app with does the same job (well, almost the same job).
for those having issues getting sidesync to work, you might wanna give ShareKM a try. (google it, i can't post links just yet)
On the Note 10.1 2014's pull down status menu, when I click a recently downloaded .doc file, it gives me an error message that the document 'is not a supported document type'. It does open POLARIS Office 5, at which point I can open the doc through the file browser. I was thinking that POLARIS wasn't the default word processing program, but when it attempts to open the file, it does run the program. I'm new with Android, so am I missing something here? How can I make the file open when I click on it from the recently downloaded file list on the pull down status menu?

Go ahead and download "Kingsoft Office 5.8" from the Play Store. Just search for it with the word "office", it should be the first result. I don't have much experience with Polaris, but usually those Samsung apps aren't the most full featured ones you can get. That's why we usually refer to them as bloatware. Kingsoft is probably the most full featured and widely used office suite for Android and if that doesn't open it as well then you might have have a problem with the file. Plus It's free.
If you have trouble locating the file, use the "file explorer" app to locate it. It's most likely in your "Download" folder.
