Rosemary Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 My husband bought me a Samsung Galaxy Tab2 10.1 because our internet is so unreliable ( ) When I logged into the forum it said I must/can/should (?) get Forum runner. Is this only necessary if you have the phone or should I download it for the Tab? Sorry I am clueless with all this stuff My lovely new toy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 you dont have to download it just click cancel and it will take you to the forum... but you can use Forum Runner or tapatalk on it if you wish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueWolf Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 The forum is built for pc's with big screens while Forum Runner and Tapatalk are both optimized for small phone screens. You can still use the forum as you used to do but it might be a bit harder and/or slower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosemary Posted September 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 no tech advice lol but that's a great present! Thank you. With Monty being away so much lately, the Tab and the camera are like 'keep the wifey happy' gifts. I can live with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 The Samsung Tab is an android device and while is not a phone uses the same operating system. So when you log into the forum the forum detects that it is running a version of android and not windows. It then gives you the option to run a display that is better optimised for a small phone screen. The forum does not know what type of device you are on just the OS you are using.

Thanks Andy, forum runner is not available to South African users on Samsung, but I don't think it is necessary to download it anyway. I can see everything just fine just like on my laptop, just on a 'slightly' smaller 10" screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
