Solo app used on Samsung tab 10.1 2.

Ricky Bercegeay · Nov 16, 2016

Does anyone know how I can get the solo app to download on my Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 2. I've tried manual download of the apk file and keep getting message " problem parising download. What that means.

where are you downloading it from?

Ricky Bercegeay · Nov 16, 2016

I've done tried like 3 or 4 sites. Which should I use. I'm not no pro or wiz at this

I've just downloaded everything I need for my Android devices straight from the play store. This doesn't work anymore?

Roger Caplan · Nov 16, 2016

try this link to the google play store from your tablet (this *should* open the play store app).

Device not compatible

Roger Caplan · Nov 18, 2016

ah, you might have a non-google-play tablet - does anyone know if Solo requires Google Play Services, or should it work on any android distribution, e.g. amazon?

Marich · Nov 18, 2016

Just curious...but is it possible that many Android devices aren't compatible anymore? In that case you've always got Solex.

Roger Caplan · Nov 18, 2016

That's true, it might just be that this tablet has an Android version older than 4.3. Solex won't help in that case though, since it requires at least 4.4.

Solex for Solo

It's an excellent app for Solo using Android - generally it's regarded as being better than the stock app.
You could always use Tower, another Android app that allows for the best pre-planned autonomous flights.

The Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 2 was released in 2012 and only supports up to Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean). The Solo app requires Android 4.3 plus.

There are a couple of options for the note 10.1 (N8000/N8013, which is what I fly with). Samsung has official OS upgrades available, but from other countries:

Update Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000 to Android 4.4.2 Official KitKat XXUDNE4 Firmware

This will retain all of the note features and you can use the tab for more than just flying. It will operate just as you US firmware would, but with a more recent OS version. The second option is to root your device and install a custom ROM, but I'd suggest you avoid this unless you have experience in doing so.

Best of luck

I haven't looked into this but be careful which firmware you use. International versions can brick a US version and vice versa since a different chipset may be used in the same model device.

I don't think the Galaxy Tab and the Note 101 are the same thing, are they? Though you may be able to load the same flavor on both, not sure.

I have rooted and loaded Tab 7 with varying success.
