Dunno if this is relevant for any other tabs, but on my Iconia, some apps show up, but when I go to their page it pops up with an error. I assume due to the device, either being Acer or 3.0. If instead of clicking Ok, you use the tabs software back button, it leaves you on the page and you can download and install the app. Tried it on 2 devices with Amazon Kindle and it worked. Maybe this will help someone else.
Error..... Ummmm.....
Wrong forum?
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Is it possible that maybe he was trying to help the people who cannot seem to download from the market? ( full market access)
First sentence even says "Dunno if this is relevant for any other tabs" Folks we're one of those tabs.
Ok, my bad.
With the issue of the market, it's already been addressed that for some devices right after you apply market fix it will take a few minutes to adjust itself during the first download. Some people don't have the patience and so they click on the back button and cancel the process. I suggest just try to download a free app from market and let it sit there for a while. Just let it do its thing.
No, I have a gtab as well as an Iconia, the iconia tab is in it's infancy. I also realize other members cross read differing forums.
Just sharing what I've found with the subforum I was most frequenting prior to getting an A500 :-D

I wouldn't mind getting an apk of that multimedia app/widget off your Iconia.
Looks like goodintentions got as far as the original post's title before print screening, jumping out to paint, and drawing up a corrective (not unnecessary and mean spirited) diagram.
This sounds like the issues I was having on an un-partitioned TNTLite. I found that the apps suffering from this issue could be installed via the android market web interface without any problems.

How about a link to taobao for the docks since you guys havent brought out any actual acessories.............
Thanks for participating.....we do appreciate it. I would suggest that you not post sites like fring as their video chat software is not working with the gtab....this will lead to customer frustration with the device. There is not a functional video chat app that really works with this device yet.

Thanks for posting here! It's refreshing to see a company engage their user base and actually take suggestions. Having worked in engineering for the largest PC maker in the world for many years, I've seen first-hand how hard it is to make changes, so I applaud you for taking these steps.

I totally agree. I have to say that I've never really seen this before. You know what would be cool, if they Viewsonic gave XDA Developers all the rights to their G Tablet and then releas a G Tablet - XDA Edition. That would be SA-WEEEEET!!!

I would also add the Nook reader to your ebook section. The Nook reader for Android is very nice on this tab - it even has a "landscape mode" that makes it look like you're really reading a book with two pages!

I have been following this forum for the past couple of weeks trying to decide if I wanted to take a chance on this tablet. My only concern was VS dropping support. Now I believe VS is in for the long haul. I have been to Office Depot twice just to play with this thing. Now I going back to buy it.
Thanks Viewsonic.

Thanks for listening Viewsonic. This will certainly have a positive effect on your Gtablet sales and your company image.
A little off subject but OVS are you rocking the gtablet ? Also thanks for participating with the community.
I don't think we'll be seeing Nook on the Gtablet anytime soon - there doesn't seem to be a link to the APK anywhere - but it looks like VS did include FBReader on the Favorites page.
New OTA update coming today, and I suspect the source code will be released soon.

Tablified.com - [tab * li * fied] -verb. 1. apps that have been specifically made for Android tablets.
Well, after days of working on the site, its finally here. It's not perfect, but I think android tablet owner are going to enjoy this.
One of the biggest flaws with the Android Market is that there really isn't a dedicated section for tablet apps. Phone apps get thrown in the pile with tablet apps and its just impossible to find tablet SPECIFIC apps.
Many developers say their apps are "optimized" for tablets which, at first sounds great. But sadly, most of the time the app is just adjusted to fit better on a larger screen without adding any new features or tablet specific UI elements.
This is where Tablified.com comes in. Each app is tested to insure that it really is a tablet specific app. While I want to give credit to XDA and the Xoomforums for providing me with a list of apps, I found out that many of those apps aren't really tablet specific. There are currently over 50 apps on the site and more added every day. If you have an app, please use the "Submit an app" link on the site and let me know what the app is; if it meets the requirement, I'll add it to the list.
Tablified.com does NOT allow you to purchase the app. I simply links back to the Android market for you to complete the transaction. What I do is list up as many apps as I can find, after testing each one of course. I am very critical about which apps go up because I want users to only see tablet SPECIFIC apps-that's why games are currently not available. Until I see the same version of "Burn the rope" that's available on the iPad for Android tablets, you won't find it on my list-this goes for many other games.
We have a couple of people working on the site and are recruiting people to help. If you know how to use wordpress and would like to join the team, then please PM me. I apologize if there are any errors on the site. I did my best. If there are any errors, please leave a comment on the app and I will fix it ASAP.
We have big plans coming soon. Can't same much now, but I think its something to look forward to. Sorry for making this so long, but I hope everyone enjoys the site. Ads are there to help pay for the hosting-sorry, no ad-free version

Maybe I'm missing it, but a top downloaded section would be nice, maybe a top downloaded for the week, most popular list, etc. Or exporting the ratings from the market and displaying that.

thanks for your feedback. the only way that i can do a "top downloaded section" would be if people start voting on the site. this is accomplished by simply rating it using the stars icons . if you guys dont rate then i cant display the top rated app/game etc. I had a section for that kinda stuff but because the vote count was low and it didnt look pretty so it didnt seem worthwhile to keep it. so once you guys start voting then i can make a place for it. this is only the first month of the site being released so maybe next month ill put it in. in the mean time, you can scoll to the bottom on the homepage to see the most viewed app.
as for the rating, i dont think theres a way to do that. but each app has a widget at the bottom of the page that has the market link as well as the rating it received on the Android Market. if you guys like the app, simply rate it by pressing the stars just like you would on the official market.
please keep the suggestions coming.

Although Lotus looks ok on tablets, its not a tablet specific nor tablet optimized app. You can find more detail about the requirements on the FAQ section.

Can't find any decent gallery app, anyone seen any with super fancy effects similar to the honeycomb Youtube app?
Its not tablets its Honeycomb
I was excited when I saw a posting about this thread until I actually went to the site. It really isn't a site listing apps designed for the larger, landscape real estate of a tablet but actually a site listing apps that are fully integrated for Android 3.0+ (Honeycomb) instead. There are plenty of tablets that run Android 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3 like the one I'm typing on right now. I would appreciate apps that are designed for a tablet as much as the nearest Xoom user.
Quite the disappointment :-(
All, note sure if anyoneelse has seen or tried this but just came across a new browser in the market called dual screen browser. As expected it does what it says on the tin and its pretty cool. Its still an early build but worth a look.
I know i may get flamed for this post but i wanted to put this in general as its a good app.
It may not be a browser for every day use but good for cross referencing or just some almost desktop like multi tasking......let me know what you guys think.
That's cool, thanks for the infos. I'll give it a shot and see how it goes.

I'm apparently supposed to leave feedback in a thread that has nothing to do with the actual developer.
Edit: This isn't flaming the developer but the news guys. Dual window browser that is old here: https://market.android.com/details?id=biz.stachibana.MultiWindow&hl=en

Ok, so I was given a Sylvania SYNET7LP 2.1 tablet. I know there is a thread about this device, but it has proven useless to me so far. What I am asking for is a link to a stable/decent ROM for this thing, as well as instructions on how to root/flash it. It is little more than junk as is, but I am sure there is some sort of way to make it better. PLEASE help me out with this thing. Thanks in advance.

Not All Tablets Connect to the Android Market
Google doesn't have a lot of control over Android once it gets released to the masses, but they do have control over the Android Market. Until Honeycomb, Google did not approve non-phones to connect to the Android Market. That means if you get a cheap tablet that runs on Android 2.2, for example, it won't connect to the Android Market. You can still get apps, but you may not get as many apps, and you'll have to use an alternative market to download them.

Custom Sylvania ROM development
conclusion :who loves tablets?
thanks alot for the links. You know the wierd thing is, alot of people have told me with 100% certainty that play store would not work on this tablet, but after i updated it, I found a post on a random forum somewhere on here to download com.android.vending-1.apk and i downloaded it onto the tablet and, much to my surprise, IT WORKED! Market runs fine, no force closes, but it tells me alot of the apps arent compatible, at which time I search google. But other than that it works just fine. Strange.
So, another day another game thats not compatible with our devices despite being compatible with the Prime and Nexus 7 (can anyone confirm that this works on the Nexus 10?)
My question is has anybody managed to get it working and if so how?
Thanks in advance

Can't commit about whether it's working on a Nexus 10, but it not working on my TF700 is frustrating me too. While you can't download it from the store, I've tried installing several different versions and it closes on all of them after the title screen appears.

i heard that it does work on the nexus 10 from other forums. Exactly the same story for me my friend, tried about 6 different .apk files all with the same result. It is lazy development by EA especially if the screen resolution is the problem, since the Nexus 10 has a higher one. It makes no sense for a top end device to lose so much compatibility.
I sent EA an email yesterday asking why, and now im waiting for a reply.
Sit tight
Cool. Will be interested to hear if EA responds. My guess is if they do they'll place the blame on Asus and/or Nvidia.

well actually they havent even bothered to reply to me yet, despite me sending 3 emails. its been over a week now, they obviously can't be arsed because they are awful developers.
I'll keep on trying anyway, got nothing to lose right?
a small update
So i actually managed to get a reply from EA (not to the email i directly sent them, which has now been over two weeks since ive had a reply, but a forum topic i started about the compatibility).
They said "It is the decision of the company that builds the device, which Android version runs on it. The Simpsons: Tapped Out requires Andriod version 2.3.3 (or higher)."
Er what? For starters android tablets dont run anything lower than honeycomb (aside from the original galaxy tab), and the TF700 is a MUCH newer device so automatically runs at least honeycomb. As we all know it did in fact come with ICS.
So yeah, pretty unhelpful, but at least i got a reply. Waiting for the next one now i guess.
LOL. That's an even more useless response then I expected you'd get, but thanks for the updates.
UPDATE!
I received an email from EA today:
"Thank you for contacting Electronic Arts.
I sincerely apologize for the delay in response. Going forward, we would do our best to respond in time.
Having going through your email I found that you want to know about the compatibility for the game "The Simpsons: Tapped Out". I'll do my best to help you out.
I request you to please refer the link given below to check the compatibility of the game.

Go on guys, follow the google link, you'll find its worse than useless.
I guess im grateful for a reply FINALLY, however aside from "helping me out" that link made the reply useless.
Lets all give EA a round of applause.
Still no reply from EA I guess....I started this forum topic over on the Tapped Out forums. I encourage anyone with an Infinity to hop over there and voice your disappointment in the support EA provides for its hottest games.

Actually....
Appologies for not posting sooner but ive been pretty busy with uni.
Anyway i have indeed received another reply. After them asking me what device i was using, what version and what the problem with the game is (!!!), they forwarded the information i gave them to another department :-|. THEN i got a reply...
They said that they would forward my query to the studio who actually make the game, and they will deal with it.
However, they said that i shouldnt really expect a reply, and even then they may do nothing. He ended by saying the game may or may not ever be compatible. Great.
I definitely shall be joining that forum and voicing my opinion, it worked for the sims free play after all.
At the moment it doesnt seem likely.
Wasn't there a "worst company" award recently?
I'm an owner of a Acer a700, which have the same hardware (tegra3, 1920*1200 res), and the game don't work on it too...

I did wonder if this device was compatible given the strong similarities. Thanks.
still no compatibility despite the latest update. Im gonna go on the forums and complain some more and request that the 4.3 update also includes compatibility I suggest everyone else does the same for the maximum impact.
SUCCESS!!
MAJOR UPDATE! The compatibility on the play store still lists the game as incompatible.
HOWEVER, google search "the simpsons tapped out v4.3.0 apk" and click the third link (it's apkwikipedia). You will find an apk to download in a zipped format (.zip or .rar can't remember). Anyway, the apk is working and as i speak im downloading the updates on the main page!
It is a modded apk (at least one of the .apk files in the package is) so you will get unlimited money.
Regardless, it is now possible to play the game on the tablet. I will update any problems/issues encountered once i've tested it.
Download and get playing! Spread the word!
EDIT: i have played around with it and everything seems to work as well as on my phone. If you lose your friends list, just sign in and out again of origin and they should turn up.
Finally got this game to work on my Asus TF700 and not by using a modded apk. Got fed up with the freezing and force closes that I was experiencing ever since I got this tablet using the official firmware, so I unlocked and rooted my tablet and loaded the Cromi-X rom onto it. Big improvement in performance. And to get This game to work, I downloaded an app called Market Helper which tricks thr Play store into thinking your phone or tablet is a different phone or tablet. The Market Helper app requires root, isn't available in the Play Store (so google it to find it) and while I couldn‘t get it to work the Play Store app, it worked great via the online Play Store (and once you reboot, your device ID goes back to it‘s orginal state).
Glad more people are getting it to work. To clarify, the link i posted does has both a modded .apk and a non added .apk
Also, slightly unrelated, how is Cromi-X performance wise? Was it easy to do? Did you keep all your apps and system preferences? Will it be possible to keep the game when installing this custom rom? Need to do more research before i commit!
