Hey guys I just bought the transformer....updated it to the new firmware....I am having some issues...just want to make sure that is it just me or are these issues common....I just cannot open facebook website on browser....my XDA app,facebook app,and sometimes youtube app force closes....and the HD video on YouTube is not as smooth as it should be......these issues I have experienced so far.....are there any solutions to solve these issues?
It's not just you.
Facebook is horrible. App is ****. Website barely usable. I wouldn't say it doesn't open.. but just not very usable and extremely slow.
Youtube HD stutters and not smooth.
Didn't try XDA.
i'm hopeful that an update will fix this.
So far my experience with Honeycomb suggests that it is buggy as ****. Gives android an awful name.
Why can't google get their act together?!
The controls are were their supposed to be in relation to the screen. However, It only uses the upper right 1/4 of the screen. Is their any way to fix this?
I'm having the same problem, and I was wondering if anyone has any idea how to fix it. The game itself is 100% playable, it just only shows up on a quarter of the screen for some reason. I feel like this shouldn't be difficult to fix, and if anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.

I've searched this issue quite a few times, and this thread is all that comes up. I have the same problem, but I'm actually running CM7. I suppose it could be an issue with the app though...
Hey, I found a working solution in the Nook Color forums. The problem is that the app can't run fullscreen because of the notification bar. So if you can disable the notification bar then it'll run fullscreen.
In CM7, go to Cyanogen Mod settings, tablet settings, and uncheck disable fullscreen. If you're not running CM7 I don't know where the option is, or if it's even possible.

Has anyone figured out how to get it working in the standard Kindle ROM? Right now I'm happy running the stock ROM with the Android Market and GoLauncherEX, and I wasn't planning to switch to CM until the Kindle version of CM9 is stable.
Bump. I'm thinking about installing MoDaCo rom, and am wondering if it would let me run Sonic CD at full screen to alleviate this issue. This is the thread about the rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916
I wanted to post in that thread, but I'm too much of a noob to have the permission haha. I've been hoping to stay with a rooted stock rom until CM9 is finished, but may move to MoDaCo as the best stock-style experience until it's finished.
I have the same problem with gameloft's UNO and NOVA games. They play on the top center of the screen. I have tried MIUI and CM9 and neither fix the problem. Hope there will be a fix soon.
UNO worked fine on stock... There is a specific KF version of it on the Amazon App Store. Sonic CD works fine on CM9 too...

I know they have a kindle edition but I had already purchased the normal one from the Market for my other devices.
same problem but with samsung s4 mini
I have the same exact problem with samsung galaxy s4 mini, which is weird because the demo version, 'sonic cd lite' is running perfectly. Can anyone help me with that? my current android version is 4.2.2 .. 4.3 updaye is still not available in my region so I wish if there is a solution that isnt to update my operating system. Considering the demo runs just fine their must be a solution. This is the only forum I found even remotely talking about this topic, only it's on kindle rather than samsung.
I contacted awga customer support. They where very unhelpful. Suggesting meaningless tips lile hardcresetting my phone and reinstalling the game.. which I did. Are there any tips regarding why it isnt running full screen on samsung s4 mini running on android 4.2.2?
For the record, running one of the ICS builds - everything seems to work as expected minus the known issues/bugs.
I downloaded Instagram today from the Google Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instagram.android) - says my device is compatible. When I take a picture or load a picture from the gallery, the app freezes and/or reboots my phone. Is anyone else seeing this behaviour? Would be nice to know if you're one GB or one of the ICS builds as well...
Says it's incompatible for me on the Play Store and I'm on ICS

Does it give a reason? Downloaded for me from the Play Store - weird. Had a buddy on SGS II LTE stock GB test as well and he says it freezes/crashes a lot.
said it was compatible, but yes I run into the same issue.
I also am having this issue. once again a great IOS app ported to android and it super sucks. I am using it on the ATT Skyrocket LTE
bad iphone port is bad?
try this apk

same issue here. Once I select a photo, the filter screen causes my phone to hang and require reboot. =\ (also on ICS rom)
It says its not compatible for my skyrocket which is on ics and my galaxy tab on AOKP build 28

Tried that first - then installed from Play Store and same results.
Had a buddy on stock 2.3.5 test it out and he gets the same freezing/crashes. Pretty sure this is an issue with the app and the I727/I727R, not the ICS leak.
Anyways, gave it a 1 rating on Play Store and left feedback that it doesn't work on our devices. Been happy with Pixlr-o-matic (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pixlr.OMatic) anyways...
I also wanted to try the new Instagram app, but now seeing that other ICS roms and stock GB are having problems, i'm inclined to think there's a bug with the first release of the app in general. Hopefully it is fixed soon!
sucks, weve waited too long for this..
mine still says compatible for all my devices including my skyrocket
I have ICS and they let me install in on Google Play.
But yeah, it's crashing like everyone is saying even if you can install it.
Personally, I've never ever had an app crash this bad where I had to hold down the power button for an extended period of time.
What a shame. Looking forward to a quick resolution.

same here.....sad indeed. But as with most ver 1.0 apps, the compability list will increase. We've waited this long!
But the amount of time it took the team to release this app....let's hope updates don't come at the same pace....
Yeah I'm on my skyrocket with ICS rooted and it says it is incompatible. Hope they fix this, one of the few things I miss from my iphone days.
I was able to install from the store, but it's a huge POS.
Crashes and reboots the phone.
Tried both camera settings, same result.
It's a stripped down, piss poor port from iOS.
I used the apk file from mediafire. Running fine with no force closes.

Mine works fine until I try to take a picture myself and get to the filter screen. Are you able to take your own pics and apply different filters?
My fully stock Skyrocket is running the app fine so far. I've played around with the filters using pics from my gallery and while taking new pics.
Although now that I think of it I haven't uploaded any pics with it yet. So maybe I've just stopped before the issues occurred. I'll have to play around some more.
I was happily surprised to notice this app hit the market a few weeks ago. Unfortunately i downloaded it, and of course it doesn't work. The app loaded fine,..looks great...feels great...but when you go to play a show it plays the HBO promo video and the TV-MA thing and then that's it. Just sits there with a spinning circle.
Anyone have a similar experience?
I'm using a TF101 with revolver ics 4.1.1 with guevors kernel.
Luckily with the recently flashed revolver, the HBO GO website actually works really well. With the stock Honeycomb and Megatron CM9 it was choppy and grainy, and constantly freezing and changing bitrates. Now the video plays perfectly with what looks like 720p, or close to it. Still, the app would be nice because navigating the website through the browser is clunky as hell.
I did manage to get the old app working with the workaround, but the quality is actually not as good as the website , and it's annoying as hell to have to switch back and forth between other apps twice every time you load it.
Anyway, jut wondering if anyone has the same issue. I guess I can live with the site since it actually works well now but the app would be more convenient.

I have the exact problem on a Samsung Galaxy 10.1 and the Kindle Fire. have you resolved this issue yet?
Nope. Seeing as the website now works perfectly now, I really can't complain...so I guess I will just deal with it. The app doesn't support hdmi output anyway so..
works fine for me. watching true blood now
I'm getting the same thing. It'll show the HBO clip followed by the rating then just exit back to the app. It was working when it was first released but as of lately can't stream anything.

Is anyone using their G Tab as a media center with the dock? I am thinking about using it stictly as a tv media center now. If you are, could you tell me how you are using it? Or give me some ideas. Like what apps and ROM to use. My main use will be streaming movies and web surfing. Thank you.

Well I guess there isnt anyone out there that cares about this topic. Any ways, looked for some stuff. Anyone using Plex or XBMC for Android?

I've been using my GTab and dock for watching online video from WatchESPN and Fox Soccer on a TV. Now that there are JB ROMs available with HDMI audio and video I had planned to explore the GTab's full potential. To be honest I didn't know there was an Android version of XBMC. Ironically I've been trying to get XBMC installed on a Raspberry Pi, which I finally got last week. I'll post on how it goes with the GTab. Good luck.
I just load movies onto the micro sd card and use HBO GO.
Also use it and my Gametel pad to play NES, SNES, Sega Master System, and Genesis roms.

Thanks Tobalaz,
What rom are you currently using?
Funny thing is I have been trying to do this since I got my dock about a 1.5 years ago, but have not been completely happy with it.
I am using Frankentab right now, but I should explore other options again (been out of it since mid summer when I got a TF201 and gave the gtab to the kids). The biggest use I get out of it as a media center is for using it as a digital picture frame and for listening to music that I have on the microsd. The dock is plugged into my TV and stereo, so for those two instances it works great.
As for watching movies...I have been slowly converting my DVD collection to .m4v files with handbrake and have been happy with the outcome. The problem is I store the movies on my NAS drive and stream them. When using my TF201 they normally play without a problem. The gtab on the other hand has problems keeping up with the transfer rate and has to buffer frequently making watching a movie this way impossible. I could download the movie to the gtab then watch it seamlessly, but it takes too long to download, and it really defeats the purpose of what I am trying to do.
I will have to try a few other ROM's maybe to see if I get better results.
Cheers!

Black Jellybean.
When I'm playing a game or watching video it works great.
I get freezing between tasks time to time, still messing with settings seeing if its just me or the rom.
It does everything I want it to, and as far as I know is the only 4.o or 4.1 rom with a fully functional hdmi dock.
Been using it about a month, before that I used Beastly/Clemsyn Froyo up until I got my Gametel and for some reason it just flat out refused to sync with my controller (wouldn't recognize as an input device) but it was fantastic for video.
But for what I want, I need to use Black Jellybean or find a Froyo rom that will work, and since I've only been tinkering with BJB for only a month (had my Gametel just a little longer than that) I haven't ran through the 2.2s to find a complete list of compatable roms.
If I can't get it to run smoother I'll probably start toying around with various 2.2 roms again and get my flash back. Who knows, maybe it only seems to run slow for me because B/C was just wicked fast.
As far as the Gametel goes, its a nifty little controller. I went with it over a PS3 controller just because I could snap my Evo 4g into it and play my 8 and 16 bit roms on the go, but its a little smaller than I like. Not bad, but it won't work at all unless you update it via pc once it charges and the instructions are a little bare, but for me experimenting and learning are half the fun of having my electronic toys.
media center dock
Well being honest Frakentab is outdated. (still a great and stable rom) I was using Flashback 10.3 before I updated to the ICS/JB roms. I had smooth buttery playback. HD videos and smooth streaming without any buffering hiccups. As mentioned I have TDRH JB 1.32 remix rom that I am using now. I just set the lcd density to 140 and it seems even smoother! I am actually having one issue and that is music playing when the screen is off. Never had that issue before..I mean you have like a second lag if anything but this is the best JB out there that I have tried. I use netflix, currently no Hulu app that I can use properly..(something seems to keep this rom from playing hulu streams) When it comes to browsers, it kinda lacks because of the constant lagging. It isn't terrible but flash isn't supported on this rom. Work arounds exist but wanted to let you know that. Playback through your sdcard is sweet. I have really no complaints, the better your rom/hd cable/ tv/projector the better. I love my dock it saddens me when I read people don't really get much use out of it...
I wish i could get the Vegan Tab smoothness and stability back with out losing app compatability. It was the best experience for me. Especially for web browsing.

Last time I tried to use the dock for HBO Go I got an error that the app did not support HDMI Out. Has that changed, or how did you get around it?
Update:
I just flashed Smooth_Bean1.3.2 and am streaming a movie from the NAS drive. The buffering is a lot less now. Wish I could overclock higher than 1.2, but for now this is livable. This ROM seems to be working really well so far for everything that I normally do.
If anyone has a suggestion for a different ROM that might be able to stream my videos more smoothly I would appreciate it. I pretty much just leave the Gtab on the dock anymore, so using it to stream movies would be great
Using MXPlayer and switching from Software Encode to HW Encode is working a lot better. I just had a couple buffers/pauses at the very beginning of the stream and have been watching without problem for over an hour now.
I think this will work. Now to just install all my apps again.
OK, I found a few more things to note.
H/W encode mode is now seemless after a restart.
Music playback does not work through the dock. A simple work around for now is while on the dock the 3.5mm jack for external speakers/headphones still works.
So, for my two main "media center" functions, SmoothBean works great for me.
Good Luck. Hope this info helps

Really?
I've never had to do anything to get my docked G Tablet to share HBO on the screen. I always thought it was because there wasn't any type of hdmi plugged directly into the tablet and I figured that's what it was looking for. Couldn't get it to work with a micro hdmi and my Evo or family members' Razrs or Bionics, and I've never heard the complaint before.
Guess I'm just lucky?
Thanks F'n Around,
Thats some good info, i will definatly try out the smooth bean rom. Ive been debating going in that direction any ways. Are you using MCIFS to access you movie files remotely? And has anyone tried out the app Mizuu? Its a good little app for your movies. It pulls in all the meta data for them.
@ MechAniX.one- I guess it is MCIFS. I just access my NAS drive via my wireless network. I have not tried Mizuu. I haven't heard of it before now. I'll give it a shot sometime today.
Thanks for the recommendation on Mizuu. It looks really promising. Too bad it doesn't support networks yet as all of my movies are on my network and not on my tablet.

Yah, but if we could get the XBMC to work on our Tabs we would be set. It has all that included. I havent had a chance to mess with it yet. You should try. :good:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1813089
Well I installed the XBMC. I didnt realize that it was just an app that needed to be installed. I installed it and it ran good for a little bit but then it started to make the screen flash and it became unresponsive. From what I got to see it looks very promising. You can even change skins for it. If I can figure out how to fix it that would be great. I might try it on a different ROM. Right now I am using Dirty Bean.
I have run both Mizuu and XBMC and prefer Mizuu. XBMC does not recognize all of my movies on my NAS for some reason. Mizuu seems to work pretty good with CIFS. I set up a cif folder with "CifsManager" (free from the Play Store) and am happy with it so far. I really prefer the interface with Mizuu and it seems to be a little easier to set up. It is nice that XBMC offers more options to make it full media center, but I really only plan on using it for movies.
I hope that Mizuu eventually offers true network support as I think it will be even easier to use.
