[A7 Themes and Apps] DroidxRage:
This should be renamed the "Apps that don't work" thread... lol

Also note if you're running a ROM or modified build.prop (if you don't know what this is, don't worry)

Need for speed shift - doesn't install the update needed

Grooveshark - fails after login, FC's
[A7 Themes and Apps] johng75:
Anyone have any luck with skype? Mine is hit our miss... Sometimes I can get it to fully load and work, but for the most part it just sits and trys to login...
[A7 Themes and Apps] RojasTKD:
Mine had never worked... just sits and trys to login..

Now I have a bigger problem. I broke my screen. ;(

Anyone try Fring video chat? the other side sees my video upside down. Is this happening to anyone else? I've also tried Tango for video chat, but it won't even connect to the other caller.
[A7 Themes and Apps] sjpn:
just tried knocking live video and it seems that it's not a problem with fring. i hope someone at the factory didn't install my camera upside down!!:confused:
[A7 Themes and Apps] mingkee:
Does anybody manage to have slingplayer works?

I did a "sideload" from memory card (extracted from XT720). It installed but it doesn't open.
[A7 Themes and Apps] DroidxRage:
Same thing here. If I just use the camera its fine, so it must be software. I don't think the hardware is incorrectly installed.
[A7 Themes and Apps] cpg716:
The camera image was not upside down until the last FRING update.

[A7 Themes and Apps] bazbob:
Works:

Slingplayer Mobile for Android (but sometimes you have to launch it several times)

Doesn't Work:

SIRUIS-XM Online: Hangs on update after initial sign in.

I'm hoping both Sirius and Sling work on improving their apps for android tablets. Sling isn't bad but they should offer a higher resolution player like they do for the iPad. Having HDMI out and using Sling could be a killer app for for the A7.
[A7 Themes and Apps] DANOinSD:
I've got Yahoo messanger video call working great, just DL'd the messenger app from the market (using Dexters Mod), and then searched for the yahoo video plugin apk.

I also HAD an Archos A70 and had similar issues with the webcams being upside down, may be something in the froyo software.

Android

I have had my Elocity A7 for 3 days now and only one conclusion, Android 2.2 and all of the software is junk. I have found that after the posted updates, more of the apps crash the system than work. The only tablet that I have seen stable with working apps is the Samsung Galaxy. Android will never gain marketshare with abundance of negative press from people like me.
[A7 Themes and Apps] Durbin30:
Did you apply Dexter's ROM? I had the ViewSonic G Tablet prior to purchasing the A7 and nearly all the apps I tried worked fine. As for the A7 some work and some don't but for the money, I can't complain. Like it or not, Android is here to stay and will only continue to get bigger
[A7 Themes and Apps] RojasTKD:
Update to my post on page 1.

Works:

- Latest Skype now works with ElocityMod v1.1.

Not Work:

- Navigon Mobile Navigator won't run (FCs).

- Google Navigation dosen't work.

Even with an external BT GPS device that works with Google Maps it Says, "GPS is disabled". You click "ok" and it takes you to location & Security Settings, I assume to emable GPS, but there is no option to enable GPS as the A7 has no built in GPS. Note Google Navigation does work on my Viewsonic g tablet.
[A7 Themes and Apps] Durbin30:
Rojas,

Can you enable GPS through the power control widget? It's strange as google maps can find where you are but no navigation.
[A7 Themes and Apps] RojasTKD:
I thought of that, but it dosen't work. When I click on the widget it taken me to location & Security Settings, but there is no option to enable GPS there.
[A7 Themes and Apps] trevor432990:
Same GPS problem on the Advent Vega

Just thought I'd let you know that recent software introductions on the Advent Vega have caused the same problem with GPS that you are finding. If you want to find out more then please check out my thread at android.modaco.com (can't put whole link in unfortunately).

Would be grateful if you can let me know whether you have managed to overcome the issue yet and how of course.

Regards

Trevor
[A7 Themes and Apps] 855Elm:
If you are in mapping a free piece of software OruxMap is very nice...as long as you have a external bluetoth GPS receiver.

Copilot Live works great for car navigation and more ...

Regards
[A7 Themes and Apps] RojasTKD:
I have not found a solution.

I tried Navigon because I read at was a good app and superior to CoPilot Live. But Navigon won't run on either my eLocity A7 or Viewsonic g tablet. I might have to give CoPilot Live a try, as 855Elm suggested.
[A7 Themes and Apps] Regis St-gelais:
I have MOD 1.1 and my Alarm application is not working (force close). I tryed to erase the application's data but I get the same result. Anyone having the same issue ?

Thanks
[A7 Themes and Apps] dbrock:
Having the same issue, but set your alarms through the clock and all seems to work just fine. Haven't had time to find the issue, but I know setting the alarms through the clock works perfect.

Dale
[A7 Themes and Apps] Regis St-gelais:
You'r wight. It's working using the clock app. Tks.
[A7 Themes and Apps] Regis St-gelais:
Actualy the alarm goes of if the device is running but it does not wake the device if it is sleepping. :(
[A7 Themes and Apps] dbrock:
Better fix for the alarm clock. Seemed to work while the device was sleeping for me.

1) Download the AlarmClock.apk from here (http://www.mediafire.com/?iohizhkcziw)

2) Using RootExplorer go to the /system/app folder and rename AlarmClock.apk to AlarmClock.apk1. Now copy the downloaded file in this same location.

3) Shutdown the device. When you restart, your Alarm should work.

Dale

(Let me know if you need more detailed instructions for the copy or how to use RootExplorer)
[A7 Themes and Apps] Regis St-gelais:
Thanks for the tip but...

I removed the old AlarmClock.apk using SystemApp Remover, then I copied the new AlarmClock.apk in the system/app folder and then rebooted the device. I get the same force close error :(
[A7 Themes and Apps] dbrock:
You will need to set the permissions too. They should be rw-r--r--. That should fix it.

Dale
[A7 Themes and Apps] rspray:
Anyone able to get the VPNC Widget from the Market to work? It supposedly is the only working VPN Client compatible for Cisco, but I get errors with pre-reqs. Root access missing, no access to TUN device and TUN device missing are the errors given. I'm using most current Dexter mod.
[A7 Themes and Apps] Regis St-gelais:
I'm an experienced programer but I am new to Android. how do I do that ?
[A7 Themes and Apps] dbrock:
I have used a program called root explorer. It is a paid app that is easy to use. From the program, navigate to the system/apps folder, find the app, click on the mount r/w button. Now you should be able to change the permissions by holding down on the app and selecting the permissions option. This will bring up a dialog box that you can change the permissions from. I am sure you could do it from a terminal program using the chown command too if you know linux, but this should be easier. Let me know if you need more info.

Dale

Obviously I was confused...not chown that changes ownership, but chmod. This allows you to change permissions. Sorry!
[A7 Themes and Apps] sdialect31:
Using an app called "Fdroid" I was able to find a number of free versions of "root explorer" that work wonderfully.
[A7 Themes and Apps] mskitty76:
Thank you! I've been having an issue with my alarm clock for a while now. This fix worked wonders for me! ;-)
[A7 Themes and Apps] dbrock:
You are welcome. Glad to help!

Dale
[A7 Themes and Apps] Regis St-gelais:
Setting permissions to rw-r--r-- (just bought root explorer) did fix the force close issue but it still won't wake the device :(
[A7 Themes and Apps] dbrock:
Just to make sure, you are not using any applications to automatically terminate applications and you are not powering off? It appears to be working for me, I am testing it deeper now and trying to duplicate what you are seeing.

Dale
[A7 Themes and Apps] Regis St-gelais:
I did not install any task killer.

When I turn on the device, after the alarm should have appened, I can see the alarm popup on the screen.

The only app I installed that do access the power is "Button Savior" (A must have app with a device that do not have backlight on the buttons like the A7)
[A7 Themes and Apps] rspray:
Anyone figured out how to get Google Voice to place calls? I was able to get it installed and set up correctly using my cell # as the A7's phone number. The issues I'm running into are 1) the contacts app doesn't allow contact via phone and 2) every time Google Voice tries to place a call, it says service unavailable. 1) is no doubt Elocity's software, but 2) is drawing a blank for me. Ideas?
[A7 Themes and Apps] PhillyGirl2011:
I was looking for this same feature. I tried Skype, but that just closes out. I tried other programs too like nettalk, but eventually landed on Nimbuzz. I don't know a lot about it, but testing it out now. It would be easier to find something that just uses google voice.

Received my A7 today. First thing I did right out of the box was flash elocitymod 1.2

Everything seemed to be going fine for all apps I tried, ironically the only FC I have gotten so far is the XDA app lol. FCs every time I try to log in.
[A7 Themes and Apps] Regis St-gelais:
XDA app also FC on me.

I have mod 1.1 installed
[A7 Themes and Apps] netstat_EVO:
Android market question.

There are apparently some apps that for whatever reason are not available in the elocitymod 1.2 version of the market that are available in the market on my evo 4g.

Example: Verizon Fios Mobile Remote.

Any ideas?

[A7 Themes and Apps] Zahg:
Hello all, just got an A7 yesterday but i already love it.

First thing I did was the official update then the 1.2 modded rom.

Almost everything I have tried works with it so far:

Yahoo messenger and voice/video plugin works good.

AndroidVNC works good connecting to a TightVNC server.

Fring works okay, video NOT upside down for me.

Pocket Legends works good, cant zoom the camera due to it having software multitouch, but its playable.

Youtube app works okay, browser looks better though.

Uloops Studio Lite gets an error when trying to create an account.

Some 3d driving game(forgot the name already lol) Uninstalled because it was unplayable, kept making hard left turns for no reason, and i had to jerk the hell outa the tablet to steer lol.

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and all other gameloft games I tried work, but they dont go full screen, is there a fix/workaround for this?

I've emailed to developers of XDA, waiting for answer...
[A7 Themes and Apps] Regis St-gelais:
Could it be that the eLocity A7 does not have the neccesary hardware. IR transmitter in this case.
[A7 Themes and Apps] netstat_EVO:
Not the case. App uses link to STB via Fios wireless router. No IR required.
[A7 Themes and Apps] netstat_EVO:

Apparently if google doesn't recognize the "footprint" of the Device/Market app then it doesn't allow access to protected apps... This did not make my day any better :(
[A7 Themes and Apps] pawizard:
PlayOn apk

I had an email letting me buy PlayOn at 1/2 price, so I took advantage of it. The main reason was that there is support for Android now. I downloaded the playon.apk from XDA's website (just search for it) and installed it on my A7. I connected and it works great.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=958547

I don't know if that address will come through, but just so you know, I've been playing with Dexter's mods (thank you, thank you, thank you) and go back and forth between the factory update and his. This apk will work under both. Just install the free trial on your pc and install this on your A7. It (videos) resizes and works on the screen automatically.
[A7 Themes and Apps] droidflix:
Thats cool,I installed the trial as well and I am loving it,I dont even care if netflix or hulu ever release there Hollywood apps, by the way how do you get one of those half price deals if you dont mind me asking?
[A7 Themes and Apps] pawizard:
Don't worry, now that you've gotten the trial pak, they will start sending you emails. As you get closer to the end of or after the end of your trial, you will get one that lets you buy it for 1/2 off. So it will be 19 and change for the 1st year and every year there after.

Enjoy.
[A7 Themes and Apps] netstat_EVO:
Verizon Fios Mobile Remote

Ok, After slightly obsessing about the Fios Mobile Remote App seemingly not being available on the Market, I found the APK in another area of these forums and installed it manually.

The app installed with no issues, however It seems like its going to be a little bit of a pain to use on a tablet... There is no rotation, so it is stuck in portrait mode, The length stretches to fill the length of the screen, but the width doesn't, so it only uses about half of the available screen real estate :(

Still have to test to see if it has any issues connecting to the Fios STB once I get home, but I really don't see it being something I keep since it doesn't even display correctly.

Monster Madness does not work on elocity A7

Warning:

do not buy the latest released game: Monster madness.

it does not work on elocity A7.

1. it will not install initially unless you change build.prop to say 2.3

2. when game downloaded its 400MB and you actually see main screen. you cannot use any touchcontrols, so game is not compatible.

(it does work on Folio100, so maybe a multitouch problem, having only singletouch)

but so you know Monster Madness is a no go for this tegra2 tablet.
[A7 Themes and Apps] DroidxRage:
Good catch Dexter... I had been eyeing that one too, that's too bad.

Has anyone gotten a Screen Capture App to work?

I've tried (4) of them and all of the files are just black, blank, empty.

I attempted captures before and after applying Dexter's Mod.

Tried settings for .png & .jpg

:confused:

Apps tried:

ScreenShot, by Giksoft

AndroSS

PicMe 0.7.6 | nogo at all, Complains about not having Root and access to the graphics

ShootMe 0.8.0
[A7 Themes and Apps] Dexter_nlb:
as our tegra2 seems to use a different framebuffer size, none of the capture apps on market are compatible..

but in Folio100 toshiba, included an app to captuere the screen, but it require an background service to run and the app needs to be adapted for generic use. but it works :-)

i might find a way to do this, but since the service is needed, it might be hard
[A7 Themes and Apps] middle_road:
Thanks, Dexter.

Figured it might have something to do with the chip.

'ShootMe' had a pref setting for Framerate, 3,5, or 10. Tried them all. -nogo

File Transfer | HTTP / FTP Server | Working

File Expert by xcxin. -=- LINK -=-

Works great! I had it setup and going in less than five minutes.

Tried it on the A7 and on my Desire (CDMA) Handset.

Via wireless network at home.

Works between handset & A7, from Win7 to A7, from ubuntu to A7.

Firefox, Chrome, & Opera browsers used on PC's

Very quick.

I only tried it with the service mounting the SDCard directory.

File transfer and manipulation is a breeze.

For those who are new to using HTTP/FTP servers, make sure to go into 'Settings' and change the 'Username' & 'Password' settings for both services before using.

[Defy General] lonest4r:
Hallo,

Does anybody know an application to detaily monitor the power consumption of the running apps? Something similar to PowerTutor but suitable for Defy.

Many thanks,

martin
[Defy General] m0nk3e:
I use Battery Indicator.
[Defy General] psixda:
Try "system panel lite".
[Defy General] Sorensiim:
Try the pro version and you'll get logging too. I have it and I love it!
[Defy General] lonest4r:
Thanks, system panel seams to be very nice. I have a question regarding the monitoring. What exactly is the percentage in the top apps view? For cpu usage, it seams a little low? Or is it battery consumption? Should not the sum of them be 100?

Thanks a lot,

Martin
[Defy General] lonest4r:
Or is the sum of the percentages not 100 because stuff such as the display is missing?

Thx and best regards,

Martin
[Defy General] efpob:
is there something wrong with PowerTutor? I have it installed on my Defy.
[Defy General] lonest4r:
No it seams to fine as well. I just wanted to try something else because, after installation, powertutor wrote that the phone has not been recognized and, thus, the measurements may be not accurate.

Right now, I have both running for comparison.

greets,

martin

[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
well he's saying that the manufacturers sold 1.5 million to the carriers, not actual people, so if people don't buy the phone it will just sit on the shelves.

They need people to go to the stores and buy these phones!

but this is great news for WP7, and I do think they have a good product, let's hope they force google to ramp up their product as well.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
^ doubt it. Google and Apple aren't taking notice of WP7. The only people that care about wp7 is wp7 sites, and this small part of xda. Search around you wont see any Android vs WP7, or IOS vs WP7 threads anywhere. If you do, its very brief.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
but I think that that will change real fast :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] lekki:
How can you say that Google and Apple aren't taking notice?

Do you work for them or have insider knowledge or something?

Any sale of a competing device is something they don't want be it 1 or 100 units so it would be foolish of them to not take notice.

1.5 millions WP7 units bought by retailers means 1.5 million not Apple or Google phones not bought. Why would they not take notice?

And once again, here you are being negative in a WP7 thread. Why do you hang around here if you have so little faith in the OS?
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
I think Google and Apple are taking notice, MS is nothing to ignore, look what they did to apple in the computer OS world, now they're doing it again.

Take Apple's business model and UI and kang it to run more efficiently and universally, that's what they did with their computer OS and it looks like that's what they're doing with WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
Not to mention most stores have very low stock so most of the 1.5 million phones are most likely in the hands of consumers..
