    Galaxy Tab 10.1: firmware update

    It should... Try mine and follow it closely and several times. My method worked for lots of people. If it doesn't work, your in the same position you're in now as it can not harm your tablet like the recovery mode methods. You need to know what you're doing if you go that route... I do root...

    Stop Gmail from syncing ALL contacts to phone. ONLY want Phone contacts.

    SD card question

    I got the 64 gig card. Yes, apps will take a long time to use the internal space or the card... but I load all my mp3 music on the card and my collection uses half of that, 32ish gig... I am not a fan of streaming music or movies as I live in a rural setting. Any media file you wish to store...

    My Magizne gone

    Prob just a Samsung TW only app... Nova is just an app too so exit it. Then when asked what launcher to use, select TW for one time only... Within TW you can see if the My Magazine is there and working... Not uncommon for special features to be made available for only specific uses or apps...

    What Do I LOSE by Using Nova Launcher?

    Lose? Read previous posts again (and I agree with them all too)... You gain so much. Not mentioned is the customization ability that you get too... The manufacturers slow the OS down with their versions and yes, you lose their proprietary touches... but you speed the OS back up... Posted via...
