So I just got a Transformer! It's sick. However I have one problem, I can't access my Google Music Beta account with the stock music app installed. I updated it. Also when I click the menu button in the top right corner while in the music app there is no option "settings" , is there suppose to be?
Upgrade to 3.1 or get the latest version from the Market.
The version that ships with the device is out of date.

Im pretty sure it's all the way updated, and still not working.
Click on the option-thing-icon i the top right corner, press Help. It will take you online and make you connect your account to the app or something. After that I got more options, like settings etc!
Give it a try.

Return it and get one that is NOT sick then. Sooner or later you will get a good one.

Just making sure but you are already invited to Google Music Beta right. You can check to see if it is 3.0.1 (version that supports Music Beta), by dragging it into the "!" icon after a long hold in Apps Menu. If you're in Music Beta and the Music app is 3.0.1, try force stop the app and then clear data. It should try to reinitialize after that and will ask you about connecting to Music Beta.

Thought this was not in dev any more but it looks like they are still working on it and have released a new beta with Google Voice support. Looks pretty sweet!

Yep. Its a home screen replacement that gives youa quick glance of most important stuff on one screen. Pretty cool idea.

Yea the beat has no way to launch apps so I uninstalled it. You have to hit the hm key to leave SlideMe and go back ou tto the reg home scree. The non beta app you dont have to do that.

you can set it as a home replacement, so a launcher....or you can just use it as a normal app
if you set as a launcher then it will have it's own app drawer
I think its brill, could do with a K9 plug in though

I noticed that when trying it out. It was quite disheartening since I REALLY love the app and enjoy being able to modify which items are where on the screen layout, but without an app drawer, it's kinda.... useless.
Update: Looks like Beta 2 has been released, and app drawer functionality has made it's way back in.
Horray for the updated features as well as being able to use it as my launcher replacement!
I'm not sure if this is a bug, so I might file it as a feature request on the bug reporting page - Pressing the "Home" button on an HTC EVO doesn't bring you back to the main launcher page, instead leaves you either in an app drawer view, or in a settings menu. To get back to the launcher, you need to press the "Back" button several times.

I also find this frustrating, but overall the launcher is excellent.
I do suffer with FC's at times which just seem to not stop, but I'm overlooking these while in beta stage.

I've posted a bug report about the home button and got a response. Hopefully they end up getting a fix out for it relatively soon.
I think some of the FC's you might be getting are from the Android version you're running. You have a Sony X10? Aren't you running 1.6? I'll have to look further, but I think that the app is compatible with Eclair or above currently.
Great home replacement app! I do have some pet peeves though:
- As others have said, you cannot return to your old homescreen even when pressing the Home key several times. It would be nice for it to revert to a previous home launcher (e.g. ADW, Launcherpro) unless prompted again.
- Is it possible to make use of K9 Mail instead of GMail for the email client? A plugin of some sort would be mighty fine.
Other than that, this might be my next favorite app for Android.

The X10 has been given the 2.1 update, so thats cool.
It turns out the FC's i was getting was due to a google voice beta i had installed, so removed that and its been fine since!

If you enter the App Drawer and press Menu -> Home Settings -> Home Switching -> Toggle "Switch Homes"
I think this is what you are referring to? This should allow you to use the Home button to toggle between SS and your main launcher.
EDIT: Beta 3 was released. http://gsfn.us/t/1yjjb
Fixes "Home" button while using SS as primary launcher. I <3 the devs of this app, they REALLY listen!
Has anyone received the version expired warning? the error asks the user to look on the forums for a new beta but I can't find any.

Oddly enough the only option I have there is notify about app updates. Oh well, bug spray. :-L
Returning it anyways, going to wait a while longer till they can finish out 3.0 and make it stable like 2.2 and 2.3 are. And sorry motorola, even rooting my xoom doesnt make it okay that you didnt include SD card kernel.
Shame shame, Wont buy an Ipad :<X but will wait a 6 months or so for a tablet android device, price comes down and stability.
To disable apps: Go into your app drawer, hit the settings button in the upper right, hit manage apps. Tap the app you want to disable and it will give you the option
Go to the "all" section on the right.
These are the apps that I consider to be bloat and can be safely disabled.

do they still show up in the app drawer? Or do they simply not open if selected? I haven't ever disabled apps before as I've been on custom roms for about 18 months now.
Looking forward to the new phone on tuesday, and I'm planning on running it stock for at least a while, so this is good info

I see the disable button but it is greyed out for ready2go. It gives no option for disable.
The ones that came back were the google related.. like books, music, g+... and live TV..
Also I can sometimes see Flickr running even though it shows as disabled.
Oh sorry, yeah. Ready2Go can't be disabled without root.
And I left books / music / g+ installed. Can't test that
Live TV is gone for me - disabled it
I found another app that had Flickr in it... disabled that one.

is anybody else having issues scrolling through the google play store. Whenever i search for something and then scroll through the search results and select an app, when i click the back button, the scroll bar goes all the way to the top and i have to scroll back down to see where i left off. It is basically not remembering my last postion when i hit the back button. It had been working well all this time until today.
That only happened to me in Froyo, fixed in 2.3. Its REALLY annoying!

Did Verizon disable this for some reason? Or did HTC? When I open the Google Search app (where you can usually say "Ok Google" to jump into voice commands), the settings say it's enabled, however it doesn't say "ok google" next to the microphone icon in the search bar, like it usually does
It's especially weird because I vaguely remember using the Ok Google a few days after I got it, but I could be mistaken (quite often this is the case)
No matter how loud I've screamed at it, it's not working. Anybody else having this?
Lol. The m8 isn't "always listening"

Ok Google works with this phone. There is a setting that enables hot word detection in Google now, check there.

And I already have it on in the settings, but it's not working.
Oh and also when I installed the Google now launcher to see if it would work on the home screen there, it didn't.

Is your app out of date perhaps? It works fine for me, but it is limited to the Google Now app. I can't do it on the homescreen, but it works perfectly fine from the Google Now app (swipe up from home).
If you are totally up to date, maybe try going with a factory reset.

If you want it on the homescreen, you'll have to sideload the Google Now Launcher APK and use that instead of BlinkFeed. You do lose access to HTC's widgets, but other than that there's not much difference.
If you want to do that, here's the XDA thread to get the APK:

Now Launcher's folders are a white circle background with the "stack" icon effect. You can simulate this in Nova and see how you like it before installing.
