Very disappointed with Samsung tab 2 10.1

I'm very disappointed with my new tab, why? Living in the UK I can't get Sky Go, which I subscribe to but there is no app on the tab.
I can't view live football streaming from sites like wiziwig because the tab won't load the streams.
I can't even download VCL full version which would probably let me watch some live TV.

All the apps above are available with the Ipad.
There are very few people who want to help beginners, Ive asked questions in a few forums but rarely get an answer.

My new Tab is now only used for browsing the web and reading books and magazines.

Hi
Like you I have the Tab 2 and I live in the UK, first of all like you said you can't get sky go yet as there is no App available as yet but according to Sky there will be soon, secondly I have just tried Wisiwig Football I can stream it no problem at all. You need to go to the Play Store and download Adobe Flash Player 11, then make sure your Browser has Javascript enabled then try Wisiwig again and Im sure you wont have any problems. As long as you don't upgrade above 4.0.4 then Adobe have made Flash still available but it won't be available if you upgrade to Jellybean when it comes out for the Galaxy Tab 2, hope you get it sorted.

Hi, I to was very dissapointed to find that I couldn't watch SkyGo on my new Tab 2 10.1 but I have been informed by Sky today that it should be available for android tablet devices at the end of December 2012. Not sure if this will be all versions but it's a start. But having been let down my Sky on previous occasions for other issues I wont be holding my breath!

Listen Guy's & Gal's you can hardly blame Samsung and the Tab because there is not a Sky Go Android App available, can you ?

From the sound of it, you won't have to wait too long before it's available anyway.....so go and enjoy what you can use it for, which is considerable, while you are waiting .... :good:

There are other Sky Android Apps, so that's a good sign...

PS: What's this then ?? .......

Does anyone here from this side of the big water know if there are apps available to watch live boxing and baseball on the Galaxy Tab 2?

I didn't like hearing that Adobe Flash won't be available if I load Jellybean. What other surprises await?

Found a way to watch skygo on tab 2 10.1, its not 100% and no sound but you can still watch it clearly, all you do is tether the wifi from your phone or computer and on phone or computer install teamviewer quick support for free then on tablet install teamviewer remote control free version then you can access laptop or phones skygo and watch it on tab 2 10.1 cheers stuart

Install adobe flash player android macromedia version from google it works on jellybean 4.1.2 cheers stuart

Thanks for the update and for a solution. However, it would be nice if you could tell us the Android version you have, which I'm assuming based on your specs is Jellybean 4.1.1., not 4.1.2 which seems like a custom rom.

Please put that information into your profile as per the Forum Rules. :good:
