How is Words with Friends supposed to work?? Looking at that video it looks good but on mine it rotates to portrait and is all jacked up
Maybe the Honeycomb version isn't out yet ?
If you watch the video they act like its the same app for the phone and tablet..evidently its not tho because it don't work at all on mine.
swiftkey is not available yet, right?
And like others said, I dont think words with friends is out for honeycomb yet. I d\l it and it is jacked up.

I tried this app on my Captivate a week ago and it was too buggy to use. Constant server connect issues and saying it was my turn but when I would make a play it would say it is not my turn. Notifications suck. Wordfeud works well although it will only work in portrait mode. but it works well including notifications.
my all time favorite game app fruit ninja is also available for honeycomb based tablets.

It forced close on me when I wanted to use the Facebook widget. Remove the Widget and everything seems to be working fine for me. They seriously need to make a tablet facebook app though.
That or get the Browser sorted so that it stays on the full version of facebook when you navigate away from the opening page. That is frustrating for me

Quick, someone send Zuckerberg a Xoom!
The nook apps works fine on the xoom on this end, also the kindle app.
also the VEVO app looks really nice on the XOOM, but at times it force closes and they should add support of FULL HD also.
Anyone else noticing problems streaming HD videos? Especially on Youtube app, it seems like Xoom is not buffering enough. I've got it wifi connected to a 24mb/s connection and its talking to router at 54mb/s. Wonder if there is something I can do?
EDIT: Confirm same problem on VEVO noted above (FCs).

I have been a fan of HTC Androids for two reasons. First, I love Sense. Second, there is always an option in the stock browser to turn off the Mobile View for web pages. Is there a browser available for NC that will allow me to do that? Or am I just missing something obvious with this one?

On the stock browser in the address bar type "about:debug" without the quotation marks and press enter. Nothing will change on the browser yet. Now go to your settings> UAString and now you can select Linux Desktop and you will no longer have mobile view. I have done this on multiple android devices and it works the nook color as well.
Dolphin-Browser HD has extensions, including a User-Agent switcher, which lets you switch between android and desktop user-agents by taping a single icon.

That sounds useful. How do I go about enabling that? Is it an add-on?
I currently have my user-agent set to custom ("WIN") to get Hulu to work, but it bothers me that a lot of web pages show up all squirrelly. Being able to stick with desktop and then quickly switch to WIN when watching Hulu would be awesome.
I prefer Dolphin Browser HD as well. It works really well on the Nook Color screen. Also, like what others said, extensions allow for customizations.

I've mainly tried out stock, Opera Mobile, and DolphinHD, and found myself going back to DolphinHD, so it's now my default.
Opera mobile for sure. the Page loading and rendering is GPU accelerated, and is the only browser that has decent smoothness. How people can use Dolphin/Stock after using Opera is beyond me......

I guess not too many people bother with the rather difficult way of setting the User Agent in Opera Mobile. But it's by far the smoothest and fastest browser out there.

Opera Mobile not Opera Mini right?
+1 for Opera.
Latest versions of Dolphin HD have been buggy. That page loading bug was a show-stopper. I think its fixed in 5.1. but Opera has always felt like a smoother experience. I do like the gestures in Dolphin though...is there a page up option in Opera that I'm not aware of (to jump you to the top of the page/address bar)?
The stock browser needs tabbed browsing. The current window system makes it feel clunky as hell. Performance wise it feels slower than the other two browsers as well.
I have a TouchPad using CM9 (I think one of the newer nightlies after the last stable, it's been a few weeks though). Everything has been working fine for a few weeks. Go to my home screen, and the wallpaper is missing (I use a live wallpaper that uses the Gallery to get a custom wallpaper, live wallpaper was working fine, but missing the background). Tried uninstalling/reinstalling the live wallpaper, nothing. Happened to check out the Gallery app, and it looks like all it has access to is my online Google account pics, nothing local on the "SD card".
I tried resetting permissions, wiping cache/Dalvik, deleting the Gallery4.apk and re-installing GApps...nothing. Gallery still only shows online pics. All other GApps appear to be working without any trouble, and I hadn't made any changes at all since my last CM9 re-flash.
Thoughts?
Gallery has always been buggy for me, i removed it altogether and use quickpic from the market instead, no problems.

Do you mean live wallpapers like multipic? You should get a pop up with different apps you can use to set where it gathers pics from, any apps where you can view pics, but even file managers should come up.

No, it's actually this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mx.livewallpaper.clock
The live wallpaper part is actually the clock, but you can set it to have no background, a solid color background, or a specific image from your device. Up until now, it used the Gallery app to browse the images and you could choose whatever, but I turned on the device and the home screen was black (clock was still there). I tried to reset it, but it wouldn't work. Then I tried to go to Gallery and found it could no longer browse my local device. That's when I figured out something was wrong.
I had a similar problem yesterday after flashing the latest nightly MX video player couldn't see me files which were there, I checked with file explorer. I finally got it to work by removing the tick from the box that said :
Respect.nomedia . I also saw something similar on one of the other forums rootzwiki or cyanogenmod but can't remember which.
:
For anyone who is unaware, Rom Manager's latest update has cause some issue with the nomedia file on the /sdcard where pictures are inaccessible through your native gallery application client. This happened to me earlier.

Solution, though temporary until the ClockworkMod Team releases a fix with the new update:
Uninstall the update for Rom Manager in your 'manage apps' in settings and/or install Quickpic from Google Play.

You didn't say anything about reflashing the ROM itself. Sometimes that's the only way I can get problems to sort out. FDR, format system, cache, install update, gapps, boot once, go back to cwr and fix permissions.

Ruh roh, looks like that could be possible. I'm pretty sure I set Rom Manager to allow auto-update...guess that's getting turned off...
Thanks for the update! I'll try this when I get home.
Ok, an update to what I did to fix it.
First, I applied the update to Rom Manager from Apex_Strider's post (thanks again!). I think this was the root of the problem, for sure. However, after applying it, Gallery still wouldn't read local images. I restarted the tablet and tried checking again, but still no good. I then re-installed the update APK one more time, and then ran Rom Manager and chose the "Fix Permissions" option. I went back in to Gallery, and once again it didn't look like it worked...but I just let it sit there for about 15-20 seconds, and finally the images on the device started to populate. Went back and re-configured the live wallpaper to use the local image files, and we're off to the races.
Thanks everyone for the ideas, and Apex_Strider for ultimately pointing me to the solution!

I just noticed the FB Quickview app has been updated.
It now has a blue and white icon instead of the previous black and white one.
I still have the same problem as before. The first time you run it, it loads current notifications and messages.
But, then the notifications and messages never update on the watch.
You can have new FB notifications and message on your phone / FB account, but the watch never retrieves them or updates them on the watch app.
The notifications I can see are good. You can see pictures and you can even like posts.
But, I can only see the list that was there a few hours ago when I installed the app. Nothing since then.
Anyone get the app to work properly?
Works fine for me. The old version never displayed anything. The new version does (although seems a little slow at times). Wish it displayed more info though. It's useless showing exactly what Facebook notification show me anyway (which is limited in the same way)
Just updated I havent noticed anything new
Mine never shows anything at all. Nothing under notifications, friend requests, or messages.

AND...when you enable FBQuickview Accessibility the stock browser gives you an annoying play by play of everything it's doing..."page loading"..."page loaded". I'm pretty sure that to receive notifications you have to enable this. So after finding this out I decided that having the freedom to use the stock browser (because sometimes it's the one that I wish to use) without the play by play was more important to me than having this crappy app so I uninstalled it. Well, almost...now I have FBQuickview category stuck in my notification archives because it had received them. Because I uninstalled the app the actual notifications are gone, but the category is still there. I am currently trying different ways to get that to go away but I may just have to reset the Gear and re-set it all up again. Sure, it's not THAT big of a deal to have this legacy category there, but it just bugs me. And I'll never get the 45 minutes of my life back discovering that FBQuickview Accessibility was the culprit of the sudden an mysterious verbal browser feedback.
If I am wrong about needing to enable FBQ Accessibility and or if anyone knows what I can do to make that damn FBQ notification category go away...please let me know.
Isn't this app a bit redundant now that GM pushes all notifications to the watch?

Yeah, I think so...but I thought that it gave more info than the stock notification. Maybe I'm wrong. I was just so desperate to find any app that is worthwhile for the Gear. Pretty slim pickins so far. I'm really anxious for more development.

It still has the same problem where it loads all notifications the first time you run it, but after that the notifications and messages never get updated on the Gear.

Hello! new here..
This app has worked pretty well so far, but today i rooted my Galaxy Gear and installed Nova Launcher.. now this app no longer pushes new notifications to the gear.. i have no idea what has happened, i uninstalled and re-installed the app, but at best all i can have it do is that initial load up of the latest notifications, messages or friend requests... but it does not push anything new. that happens. basically get the same as richlum above here by the sound of it.. i first thought it may be some issue with Nova Launcher, but i get the same with the stock launcher as well..
So a few of you know that I can't stand how Google has tried to have us use their services by removing and or tying a lot of their built in apps with Google+. So, I have found a few great replacement apps and have pretty much made them look like stock applications.
I took some screenshots as you can see below as to how they look when installed and modified to my liking. (Many of them have themes and QuickPic is also working on themes for their app as well.)
Instead of Google Photos I use QuickPic. It's basically like the old gallery app but allows to you to move files. (You can also sync photos if you wish to do so.)

Instead of Google Play Music I use Shuttle+ Music Player. (For one thing, when you open the app you can have it go right to YOUR music on the device and even default to what tab you choose. No taking 3 or 4 steps just to get to your music or playlists.)
Instead of Messenger I use QKSMS+ (It just looks better, you can edit the themes and it has Quick Reply. And it looks very much like the stock Google app.)
And of course you can edit the app icon with your favorite Launcher.
What are some apps you guys and gals use? Do you use third party apps or keep everything Google?

You can disable each app you dont want in Android settings, and it will disappear from the app drawer. But be warned, disabling the wrong Gapp could make the phone unstable.
Finally , downloaded, feels snappier
Did you update through Kies or OTA?
I upgraded both of my Verizon Tab S tablets a couple days ago.
Some observations on my experience with the update:
All the applications that had been "moved" to the SD card failed to operate. Even after moving the app back to the device they would crash on loading. The only fix was to uninstall and reinstall them. Not a big deal, but it was kind of a hassle to do that across all user profiles. Took several hours to get straightened out.
Microsoft OneDrive will no longer work for any user on the the tablet other than the one that installed it. All the other users get an "incompatible version" message upon launching. Uninstalling and reinstalling does not fix this. Microsoft claims to know about the issue.
The Tivo app no longer loads. Just crashes on launch. Uninstalling and reinstalling does not fix this. From what I've read, even doing a factory-data-reset will not restore this app's functionality. Considering that this was one of the motivations for buying the Tab S in the first place, and the fact that Tivo probably won't fix this for months, it is a little disappointing.
Other than those items, most everything else went fairly well.
I updated via Ota
A way to root this lollipop would be great.
Just updated mine. My antutu benchmark score went from 39600 with kitkat to 35400 with lolipop. Going g through it now as I just finished updating

i went through kies and it updated smoothly.
everything is much faster and snappier, but there's one issue -- mult window doesn't seem to be working?
ive tried bringing up the multi window tray from the right side, along with recent apps (dragging it from the list) to no avail.
anyone else having issues with multi windows after the lollipop update?
