      Please follow these steps to download the “Market” on your Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 or Tab.
      (Please backup your device before going on as your device will be reset to (Factory Default) all data will be erased.

      1- go to key pad and enter *#06# it will show you the device IMEI number
      2- write IMEI number on a piece of paper and keep it aside.
      3- enter *#272# IMEI number #
      4- Options will appear on the screen, choose the option XSG and press INSTALL
      5- Your device will restart and “Market” will appear on the screen and in the Applications.

      thanks

    Scale apps “scales” after reboot, but games don’t (Assassin’s Creed, Burnout, Heroes of Sparta). Am I missing something? Maybe there is something else I need to do, or those apps are just not compatible? Thanks, Slk

    • http://www.thegalaxytab.com Bogdan

      Did you test any other apps if they scaled full screen? If yes, than those games are just not compatible.

    thanks!! :)

  • Survivor977

    Thanx a lot… coz some of my games were not running properly…..

  • Araphel

    This solution doesn’t seem to work on all apps. iGO for example doesn’t get scaled to run in full screen, also some other apps and games. I sincerely doubt that i did something wrong, since i got Spare Parts to run on a ful screen, as is seen in the video, but some apps simply stay lower res. if there’s anz solution for making iGO run properly on Tab, please feel free to enlighten me XD

    I have the tab through Rogers with no contract, using wifi most of the time. I can’t access the Samsung apps at all, does anyone know why this is or how to get it going? Also, the Readers Hub only allows me to download magazines and newspapers but not books, any ideas on this problem??

    Thanks Darlene
