[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
If an app is not supported it's for one of three reasons

1) the app developer has put a 'ceiling' on the app so it can only be downloaded by devices up to a certain version of android. Most likely 4.0.4 and they have not updated the play store information to allow for 4.1/4.1.1

2) the app developer only allows it for certain devices (HBO GO) and has to manually add support for the Nexus 7 either through more development in the app or simply enabling support for it in the Play Store.

3) The app does not work in jelly bean and there for the developer is not allowing anyone to download it and has done one of the above until they can enable support for it.

This happened with honeycomb (3.0) and ice cream sandwich. (4.0) and there is nothing to freak out about. Just email the dev and tell them that you can't download it on the nexus 7 with jelly bean.

Has anyone tried the Comcast Xfinity app? I cannot get it to work. It loads, you are able to choose video, but when it starts trying to play it says your video will play shortly with a spinning circle next to it and never goes any farther.

Same exact thing on HBO GO on Fios.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unclesem:
I would not be 100% sure its an app issue. I have an app in appstore. No versions limitations and I can even see nexus 7 in list of supported devices. But still get incompatible message if I try install it. Totally puzzled
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkelly0727:
instagram was un compatible. but engadget say they release an update to support the n7 and it can use the front facing camera take photos.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unclesem:
Does anyone knows what needs to be changed in app to make it compatible?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3r3tic:
You can try to change the build.prop in you system folder to match another device. I did this on my older tablet and on my galaxy note to get more games to show.

U need root access to read and write system folder.

ro.product.model=A500

ro.product.brand=acer

ro.product.name=a500_ww_gen1

ro.product.device=picasso

ro.product.board=picasso

Edit these lines. Then reboot make sure u make a backup this may or may not work. Anytime I didn't work I just rebooted again and it went back. If Acer doesn't work you can try an Asus transformer build.prop. There is always gonna be an issue with comparability though. Your better off finding and side loading an apk for now to test rather then buy to find out it don't work.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unclesem:
Thanks:)

But I would like to know as a developer how to fix it in app
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
aye. because you guys can't read.

If an app is not supported it's for one of three reasons

1) the app developer has put a 'ceiling' on the app so it can only be downloaded by devices up to a certain version of android. Most likely 4.0.4 and they have not updated the play store information to allow for 4.1/4.1.1

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unclesem:
Let's not make a noise

please check my question again . I read

I'm developer. My app is running on other JB devices ( galaxy nexus no issues what so ever)

I can manually install app on nexus 7 and it works perfect

I just not aware of any limitation could be that would block device. I tried already removing request for vibration permission but still play store doesn't allow app for nexus 7

it's something strange

I already opened ticket @Google for this
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gromet:
Dude. You are wrong. These are not the only reason apps don't show. Tell me why an app would appear and install and run just fine from the amazon app store but not show up at all in the play store?

Try the new Rovio game Amazing Alex. Doesn't show up in play store but comes up in the Amazon app store, installs fine and plays perfectly.

I have side loaded the newsday, ameritrade, tmz for tablets etc... And they all run perfectly.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sal33n:
Who is your comment directed at exactly?

If it is in the market and lets you install then our questions are valid. I would not trust amazon's market to let you install apps and expect them all to work especially ones that are in your purchased queue prior.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guthrien:
The Nexus devices are going to be (are?) massively popular. I'd have some hopeful patience.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unclesem:
you would laugh but Google is saying issue is because they don't trust the device

this is mail from helpdesk

Thank you for your note.

If your app appears as incompatible with a specific device or no longer appears in Google Play after enabling Copy Protection, please note that our copy protection relies on being able to trust the build of Android that the app is installed on. Therefore, we only show copy-protected apps to known good builds of Android. If a specific port of Android is not a known good build (e.g. some “Custom ROMs”), Google Play will not display copy-protected apps to these devices. If the users switch to an official version of Android, they'll be able to see your application again.

Copy protection may help prevent applications from being copied from a device. It also increases the amount of memory on the phone required to install the application. We expect to deprecate copy protection soon.

To avoid this issue in the future, we advise disabling copy-protection and using the Licensing Service instead. If you have a paid application, review the instructions on implementing Google Play licensing service here: http://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=186113. For free application, we recommend implementing your own copy protection scheme.

Regards,

The Google Play Team

This is complete nonsense. On google IO they said that not only encryption would not be dropped but it would be made on devices bases.

BTW My device is on original firmware without any root access or other modifications:)
[General Questions and Answers] Astrikz:
I once downloaded a program that would let you flash roms/recoverys/ and splash screen but i forgot the name.

It asked you to what phone you had then it would tell you to locate the file to flash.

It would let me flash png files so i can have it as my splash screen. Anyone know of what program im talking about?
[General Questions and Answers] AshtonTS:
that would depend on what phone you have...
[EVO Shift 4G General] buddha112572:
My phone works every but at home, I can't make a call or send a text from home. If I'm anywhere else it works fine. I can't seem to be able talk to the tower, if i use the open signal app it sees the tower and acts like I'm connected.

I'm running CM 7.1.0 speedy, I updated to 7.2 but had issues so i downgraded but that was weeks ago and it worked fine afterdown grageding.

It stopped working on 7-4, I live in the detorit area.

anybody run in to this before or know how to fix it???

*****updated

upgraded the radio, still no luck, flashed back to the stock ROM and still not working after updating the PRL. Called Sprint and the tech had me go though a bunch of resets and reprogramming. He still could not get it to work.

He said there was a issue at thee tower and they were working on it. He finally gave me a $15 credit on the account.

Is there a way to make you phone connect to a different tower?
[EVO Shift 4G General] Quetzalcoatl:
You can force it to roam.

I believe the setting is under mobile network.

Its usually set to automatic, home is sprint network I believe, and I forgot what the other one is, but that one is roaming.
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
If you continue to have bad service at home, call Sprint. Then explain what's going on, and remind them that no service at home is grounds for being able to legally break contract. They will most likely offer you an AirWave. Just make sure it's free of charge. Lastly when you call make sure your on a Sense Rom.

[EVO Shift 4G General] buddha112572:
I forgot to mention that my wife has the same phone an is setup the same. She has had no problem and my mother in-law has the same problem i do and she is running the stock ROM.
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
Do a Nand of your current Rom. Then flash a Sense Rom, update PRL / Profile. See if that resolves the issue. If not call Sprint while your still on a Sense Rom. Ask them to reset your Data / Profile on their end.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
I booted my sense rom (the one on rom manager) yesterday on bootmanager to update my prl/profile and it worked great.
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
Yes I know your Sense Rom runs with Zero issues, I have tried it :) . But he has some other weirdness going on.
[EVO Shift 4G General] buddha112572:
I have three different people at Sprint reset my profile, none of it worked. I called on they way home and they are sending me the Air Wave, it is suppose to be free; we will see.

Oddly enough it was worked since I got home, I'm sure it will be out again in the morning. the thing about this problem I don't get is that it isn't just my phone acting up, it's almost like someone is hijacking the signal or cloned my phone or something and the network will not let two phones exist on the same number or address or what ever you want to call it.
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
Well I'm glad they're at the very least sending you an AirWave. Yes it's supposed to be free if your signal is non-existent at your home. The reason they do that is to keep you as a customer. Just keep an eye on your Bill ;) . As for your phone being cloned, well it's possible. But very unlikely. If someone did it they would need access to your device for a good bit of time. I just noticed your in Detroit :eek: . How the hell are you having this issue in Detroit :confused: ???
[EVO Shift 4G General] buddha112572:
I'm really not sure how one phone will work and one won't. I also really don't get how my phoe won't work since I'm less than a 1/2 mile from the closest tower, according to the Open signal app.

My house is aluminum sided, so I don't know if that is wreaking havoc on the new devices or not. I had a issue in the last year where my wireless router would drop out and I would lose connection with it. After repeat service calls I finally got a tech out that knew what he was doing and sugested that I switch routers or channels. After scanning for wifi for a few days I picked up on about 3 other people being on the same channel. I changed the channel and the problem went away.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jamstruth:
Ever since I got my phone onto the Jellybean update I've had Grey signal bars on my phone and have no idea why. I am connected to WiFi and data works just fine, sync is working just fine too. I'm connected to the house WiFi and even that comes up as grey.

I had to do some small things to my phone which may have messed this up slightly to get the Jellybean upgrade. I ahd to reflash stock 4.0.4 via Galaxy Nexus Toolkit because when I got the update message originally I had CWMTouch installed, when the device tried to flash the update CWM said it wasn't a valid file and didn't flash it. My phone then insisted it was up to date until I reflashed. Upon reflashing I didn't go through the normal setup procedure. I skipped adding my Google Account because I knew I ahd a TitaniumBackup to restore from which I thought would restore my account (it didn't... possibly due to JB vs ICS). So I connected the phone to WiFi and let it downladd and install the JB update then ran Titanium Backup and then added my Google Account. Since the JB upgrade its been constant grey signal though. Could adding the google account via settings have messed it up?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
what happens when you open gtalk?

also, never use titanium to back up anything but apps and their data. anything system oriented thats backed up and restored will cause these gremlins eventually. what you can do is data wipe(factory reset), sign into your google account, then restore your apps via titanium.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jamstruth:
Gtalk shows my contacts list but with everyone offline including me. So yeah looks like **** ain't working... Do I need to reflash or will a data wipe suffice?

In future I'll just restore the Apps using TItanium.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
wipe and reflash is usually best.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jamstruth:
Just wiping has done the trick. Back to Blue bars.

Just an aside though: Why the hell is everything in the market showing as incompatible with my device? This is stock 4.1.1, rooted and with the DPI reduced to 280 by a build.prop editor. What gives?

Just a quick edit: Decided that I should probably reflash to be safe anyway. Doing that now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
your dpi breaks the market, and some other apps. bring it back to 320 and itll be alright.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jamstruth:
Oh ok... makes sort of sense. There's something in JB that has the Market check the DPI before installing. Ok, I'll stick to the default then.

Problem now though: Its not seeing there's an OTA update for it after going back to 4.0.4.
[HTC Amaze 4G] masondoctorjt:
On the sensation, you could press vol up+down+power button, and it would restart the phone even if the phone was not responding to anything. Even from a sod. Is there any button combo that does that on the amaze? I tried vol up+down, and power, but it doesn't work.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Keylogger_0:
Actually I just tried it just for the heck of it. It worked. You probably need to hold it longer.
[HTC Amaze 4G] inuyasha1999:

[HTC Amaze 4G] RZJZA80:
Doesn't work on mine either.
[HTC Amaze 4G] masondoctorjt:
Well, I tried for even 30 seconds, and It's still a no go for me. I liked not ever having to do a battery pull on my sensation. I wonder why it work on some amaze and not others? It seems like it would be in the hardware level, since it would even being a phone back from a sod.
[Galaxy S III General] MartyMacGyver:
Note: I would've added this info to the appropriate thread but as a new user I cannot.

I've got the latest version of the Samba Filesharing app installed on a rooted but otherwise stock Verizon S III and for the record the reported FCs for this app are seen on this phone, even if I am not actually using the app. I suspect it's causing some other WiFi problems while contending for resources in the background (I'll know more once I freeze/uninstall it). It's also reported to cause unexpected traffic even when "disabled" (seen by firewall users), which could be a source of other issues.

The whitelist workaround doesn't help (e.g., enable whitelist with an empty whitelist and then check manual start).

Also, SU doesn't seem to be involved in any way with the app starting in the background... in this testing I'm not even enabling the filesharing function, yet I still get the lag followed by a FC whenever I disable WiFi. Thus the SU notification workaround appears to be irrelevant (it was originally supposed to address the relatively new lag seen when enabling the filesharing function though it doesn't appear to solve that problem either). **

** If you toggle Wifi off and back on in a relatively short time you may not see the FC issue, as it seems to take a few seconds for the app to come back to life in the background after a FC / force stop... it also seems to take longer (around a minute) to restart itself after the latter.

Reading the thread above, it seems that this useful app may unfortunately not be under active development anymore - if it is I hope the issue is resolved eventually, and if not then I hope this information saves others from further headaches. I do like this app, but it doesn't have a true on-demand mode such that when it's disabled it's truly disabled - staying hooked into WiFi whenever running in the background is not good (leading to FCs and other confirmed and unconfirmed side-effects). It's not clear to me why the app starts itself whenever WiFi is turned on but it indeed does that (neither the FC or force-stop leave it dead for long).
[HTC Sensation] aj1cesar:
Hi., experiencing an issue with my sensation. When I the camera and take a picture, the saved file is black. No picture. But the camera is working fine. Can read bare codes.

I'm using CM9 RC1

If anyone have an idea, please tell me.
[HTC Sensation] charlesdg:
Hello all,

I have the same problem as you with my camera. The Gallery isn't displaying my pictures from my camera. it started out with some of them just being black and saying no thumbnail when i would select it. When I open one of it in the gallery, only "loading" appears.

Somebody heard about this issue? I have this problem since last Thursday. I'm using cm9 nightly build.

I try a full wipe but no effect on it...

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Lens cap on?

(Sorry, I couldn't resist)

New camera apps still access the same base camera apk.

So you might have a borked camera apk. You could flash a new one.

Or if you have a custom ROM or kernel something in the rom or kernel might be bad. Try reflashing the kernel, then try a different kernel, then reflash the rom, then try a different rom.

Though i doubt the kernel is at fault since you can read bar codes. It sounds like the camera isnt converting its images to files. That could be a apk issue or a rom issue

Sent from a rebel ship by storing the message in an R2 unit. (Help me, XDA. You're my only hope)
[HTC Sensation] charlesdg:
Like it! :p

Good to know

I try to reflash the rom with a full wipe, no effect... Is the kernel flashed when a rom is flashed (For me a kernel is present inside a ROM, isn't? ) ? If not, which Kernel I have to use?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] charlesdg:
I tried with another Kernel : the Kernel Bricked 3.0 v1.4 but doesn't change anything. How can I find a stock camera app apk?
