I picked up my xoom earlier tonight and have been playing with it but I cant seem to find the YouTube app. It says it is installed when I go in settings, but it doesn't show up in the app list. Am i alone on this one?
thanks!
Make sure you click "All" in apps (upper left corner).
If you're in "My Apps", you won't see YouTube, as well as many other apps that are pre-installed.

Did you buy your Xoom from UK? I bought mine from US and I also don't see featured apps for tablets.
About Youtube, it didn't show up under the apps for me too at first, but when I connected to internet and added a google account it magically appeared. It still shows only 8kb in system settings, so this is normal.

Sorry to go off topic but where did you get your zoom from?
Do a factory reset. This fixed it for several of us.
Settings -> privacy -> factory data reset
Missing YouTube Also
I had to exchange for a new Xoom yesterday. I bought it from Costco and cannot get the YouTube app to download. It shows that it is in my system, but it isn't under the apps.
The YouTube app did work on the original Xoom I had, but I can't get it to work on this one. I'm on my 3rd factory reset.
Side note, my 'Books' don't work either...like EL_G15, it says 'Application is not Installed'
They're not missing. They're corrupted. If you go to manage apps you'll see that they'll show 0kb size. Not sure what else we tried but I know specifically that after I rooted mine the youtube and books app were at 0kb. Factory reset fixed it.
On my Xoom the Youtube app works fine but still shows 0kb under settings menu, so I believe this is normal.
i purchased mine from eBay. Its a US unit that the supplier imported. I've tried 3 factory resets, but still no youtube.
Just to add - I just did a Factory reset on a Xoom that the YouTube app worked properly, now it has the same problem as my new one.
Are you familiar with logcat? If we can get details on exactly what's happening, might be able to help.

Same here. Just out of nowhere last night while I was using it. I got it forced to my phone by clearing market data. Tried same trick on my TF and nothing. Then the next time I went to use market it started updating

If you cant use the new Play Videos, cos like me, you're rooted, get OTA rootkeeper from the play store, save your roots, then disable them when u want to rent - works just fine - then re-enable root when you've finished
FYI, autoupdate on Revolver ICS after updating Google Earth. (done nothing else, beside listing music)
Anyone else have the issue where Market is gone after "Google Play" update? I found the apk and pushed it with adb but still, it's a little odd. Not really running anything "Custom" just some mods to the stock 2.3.6.

Market was simply replaced by Google Play. Just go through your apps and you'll see Google Play, that's the new Market.
Market is called Google Play now . It should be in the app launcher.

Yup, your old App Market icon will show not working, then will disappear upon reboot. New icon says Play Store.
I understand all of that and expected it, but what I am saying is there is no Play Store, no GooglePlayStore.apk, nor Google Play anywhere on the device. Pushing the apk resulted in no change, restoring /system.
Update:
Something must have just got borked in the OTA upgrade, I after restoring /system I forced the upgrade and we are good to go.
Yes, it is called "Play Store" now. weird name, i feel it doesn't appeal to a bigger audience.
I'm stock and mine still shows the Market. Doesn't show Google Play in the app drawer yet.
Go to application and clear data in market and then go back to market

Cleared data, went back to market, clicked Accept when the Google Play notification came up, and it took me into the market. Restarted the phone and it still shows up as "Market" in the app list and no icon for "Play Store" shows up.
Would it matter that I'm using Zeam Launcher?
Clear zeam cache or data. You will lose your customizations but it should show up

Can I just switch back to Touch Wiz launcher and do it there, and then after it is done, move back to Zeam?
Edit: Tried clearing market data from inside TW and then selecting market. Still gave me the Google Play disclosure, which I accepted, and then it still loaded the Market. Still doesn't show Google Play in the App Drawer, still shows Market, and Market still works.
I guess it doesn't matter all that much what it is called as long as I can access the market?
Same here, it's still Market for me even after I accepted the terms of Google Play.
If were running full custom, I'm assuming we don't need to change it or are they disabling the Market app entirely for this
Yes i did i downloaded it again from 4shared

Neither mine or my wifes changed, but accepted the terms. Odd.

Yeah I'm running NexusMod 4 and I hit accept on the information but still 3.4.4 Market, which works. Odd.

Yeap same thing here, running NexusMod 4 and still showing old Market but it still works. I accept the new Google Play prompt, but its still called Market. Hope they dont disable this soon and then I got no Market or Google Play.

A few days ago I was running Silver rom. That's when my market icon was replaced with the Play icon. Flashed Red Sonja and now stock, both of which have the market icon back. Weird.

Mine finally updated to Play Store today.
Hello all,
I bought a prepaid credit card just so that I could get overskreen from the play store. I tried searching for it in the play store and it did not come up, so i googled it and it showed up, however, much to my demise, i was unable to purchase the app. I got an error "the item you have attempted to purchase could not be found". In the app description the developer stated that jelly bean support is a work in pogress, has anyone else had issues with downloading overskreen, it appears that some xda members were able to install it. I have never gotten this error before, is this a common error or have i disabled one too many apps lol. If anyone has found a way to get overskreen could you point me to where you found it, this app is pretty essential for multitassking and would allow all users of this tablet to be much more productive. I would love to be able to open a pdf and write notes in google drive via overskreen, now that would be bad ass.
Hope my fellows are having a dope holiday season
The browser?
"ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
This item is not compatible with your device."
So it won't show up in the play store on the tablet, and buying it can only be done for a device it supports.

Other members have downloaded it, there is a thread on floating apps and apparently it was installable (not sure if they got it thru the play store), I am thinking it might not be available for anyone on jelly bean, tf700 owners who have the app posted about it before the jelly bean update, I have emailed the developer to see what they have to say, thx for checking it out tho.

It also lists as incompatible for my SGS3, so I suspect they just deleted all JB devices from the list. I've yet to update that to JB, so it's not because it sees the OS version.
Those that are still able to install it do so by sideloading. (download to another device and copy the .apk to the incompatible device).
The author of Overskreen is having issues w/Jelly Bean devices, which is why it's not available on the Play Store for Jelly Bean devices.
However, there is a free alternative called "Floating Browser Flux" in the Play Store that is compatible with Jelly Bean. In my opinion, it's not quite as good as Overskreen, but it does work pretty well...

Cool I was thinking of doing that but I do not have any other android devices, looks like i am going to have to commandeer my sisters phone lol
I have tried floating browser flux and it worked alright, however, typing was really annoying and it wouldnt play youtube videos if I was using another app at the same time.
the overskreen browser works great on my infinity you just have to sideload it just google it and download the apk
I was gonna get the same app I tried it with my ics tab and it worked great, I'll try to side load it here too and see if it works just the same.

Has anyone gotten this app to work on a JB update or JB ROM?
these are booth listed as supported and crash.
Final freeway 2 (downloaded from the amazon app store)
Fractal Combat (downloaded from google play)
latest version crashes.
amazon app store (using an old version but the login is never remembered)
Do you know where I can find an old version or otherwise an apk for the Amazon app store that won't crash on Shield?

is it a licensing thing between amazon and nvidia about getting the app store to work or just amazons slow process of adding device compatibility?

The second one I'd think.
There is a way to access "my apps" press Y on the Nvidia Shield and that will bring up the menu just as it does on phones that have a menu button...you can access more than just "my apps" as well such as settings adding gift cards etc.
