how is flipboard working for you? - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been using flipboard since it was leaked but I have noticed a few problems with it. Seems that large articles like say greater than 10 pages seem to cause the app to crash. How is it working for other people?

Well, I've Flipboard in my HTC Evo 3D and in the Transformer, but the few times I used it I didn't have problems. Be sure that you have the latest version of the program, I don't know if that will correct your problems.

I'm running 1.8.4 which I think is the latest version. I dunno it just crashes if it downloads an article that ends up being 90 pages long. Like some of the articlesfrom the verge website.

Absolutely terrible. I have tried all the versions I could find online and all of them get stuck building my feeds. Any way to get past this? I just got frustrated and went back to Pulse.

twitter tab not working

hey yall i was wonderin if it was just me i am running the july ver of the tael rom and i had noticed that the other day the tiwtter tab quit working in fact it had said that "access to the server from this account was forbidden" so @ first i was thinking it got hacked but everyelse works just not the tab has anyone else had this issue? if so how did you resolve the issue?

Same problem here.... Any fix for it?
i read in several places a few days ago that this is due to some changes they did in their API. it will also be like this for sometime.
yeah, Twitter changed the way apps react with their service, and unfortunately, HTC Peep no longer works. Which sucks. The prob happened the exact same day i finally got my HTC Fuze
~Des
Same is Happening for me, i was wondering why i wasn't getting any updates
HTC SAYS the problem's resolved on their Twitter feed, but I'm still getting UN/PASS errors.
the upside
Look on the bright side: now you can say "twitter doesn't work on my phone, sorry" instead of "twitter is so superficial as to break the entire purpose of human communication and therefore I won't use it, you twit." Your hipster friends will be bummed, but now you don't have to pretend you care to read their inane midday thoughts!
i had noticed that TWITTER WORKS TODAY!!!! WHOOO HOOO I CAN GET MY NEWS FEEDZ ^_^ SOOO HAPPYYY!!!.......ahem.....sorry...

[Q] market now empty

I just started my tablet tonight and I went to market to look around and I was met with the original agreement option for the market. I excepted and then went to market to find it almost empty. Anyone else had this happen? I tried to do the fix again but it didn't work.
I'm still on 3389 with enhancement.
Ideas?
UPDATE: NVM. I ran the fix two more times and second time it worked!
same thing here...also on 3389 plus enhancemente
you know though that the market has been kinda crazy lately...not just with gtabs...maybe a google issue.

That is how I fix mine. It happens every now and again. Not sure if the something in the framework itself updates or mis-aligns with the market on there, itself but I find that I just need to run the fix 1 or 2 times and it works after that.
Not sure if this is related or not, but while I was able to install Beautiful Widgets, it can't find the free wallpaper in the market. Also I was looking for Jet Car Stunts Lite since there are a number of articles about it today, but while it appears on my Nexus One it doesn't show on the G-tab. Any ideas? Is it possible for me to put it on my Nexus One and then copy it over, or is the problem that the market thinks it isn't compatible with the Tegra chip, or...?
I have had trouble with market acting womky on stock w/ enhance, tnt lite and vegan....either its the hack we use or Google i shaving trouble. My guess would be the hack but I could be wrong.

I got my tablet about two weeks ago and installed tnt lite. My market was perfect for about Three days and then apps started disappearing. I now have vegan and most major apps do not appear. I'd say I have about 90% of the market

[Q] Browsers shut down unexpectedly

Hi guys, new to this forum. But so in love with Android (own HTC Legend 2.2, Galaxy Spica 2.1, Galaxy Nexus 4.0, Asus Transformer 3.2) that I think I gonna spend quite a bit of time around.
After extensive search, I could not find anyone reporting the issue I have :
When browsing the internet, and mostly while reading a page (ie having no real action on the TF), I randomly experience a browser shut down. Basically, my screen goes dark and I get back to the home screen within a tenth of a second (TF is NOT rebooting).
I don't get any error message. This happens with both stock browser and Dolphin HD. Not sure it is specific to some websites. Still investigating this aspect.
I have disabled Flash with no luck. TF is up to date and stock (not rooted, no mod of any kind).
It's getting real painful. Any idea about what's going on ?
Your not alone. Mine does the same thing with the same browsers. And I can go back to the page that I was on and it will work fine.
I noticed my friends does it too.

It seems strange to me that it would be a spread issue that has not surfaced yet.
I've been doing some extensive search on that matter in various forums with no luck so far.
One guy said he went to the extent of fully reinitializing his TF and he still experienced the problem.
That led me to think that maybe this is a fw issue, related to one of the last updates. I'm sure that this is a fairly recent behavior. I did not see that happening during the first few months of ownership.
Have you managed to detect if it was specific to some websites ?

ASUS removed .30 update from there website.

i downloaded the most recent tf700t ota update which was the .30 update and when i go back to the website. it is no longer there. any reasons why?? maybe they werent supposed to send it out yet?
because it blows! even with limiting background processes limited to 4 i still get hangs.... its a pos (and i dont mean a point of sale) if you dont have it consider yourself lucky....

Well I'm glad I'm on the WW version then because I never got it. Also noticed it was gone from the Site this morning and was wondering why...
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
I find your comment interesting since I did get the .30 update OTA and I had no issues with the update nor have I had any issues after it finished. It is interesting that Asus pulled the update though I will give you that.
UPDATE: Wanted to add that I did not get the .26 OTA and had to do a manual update using the downloaded file provided by Asus Service located on their site.
Wow, I must be one of the lucky ones, my Infinity has been running so much better since this update my bencharks even went up, I used to get about 13100 on Antutu and now I get about 13590, browser hasn't hung once and I haven't had any game crashes, except the usual Nvidia bug, **** I even plyed Heist on power saving mode all the way through.
Sorry for those having issues, but this machine is so much better then my Prime was it isn't even funny.
Honestly I haven't found any problems with 0.30 update yet. The browser is actually less prone to crashes than before (or at least that is what I can observe). Not sure if this update is creating problems for people, but for me everything is fine so far.
After downloading this update on the first day it was pushed, I have had no issues at all. In fact, it could be in my head but it feels a little snappy when opening apps.

Every update you are going to have some people who say it caused issues. FWIW, I got it and it has not introduced any major new issues for me. In other words my tablet still has a few stability issues but I can't tell if they are new since ASUS' ICS firmware has never been 100% stable for me. On top of this, you always find some buggy apps that may have some issue with the update you hadn't seen before.
The only thing I think that may be "new" is: I got some crashes on the stock browser which were fairly rare for me prior (including one that locked up the tab completely)... I decided to use it as a motivation to test out Firefox for Android and it seems to be running pretty well after several hours of continuous use. So, overall, I'd say I have no major problems with the update.
They could have pulled it because a lot of people seemed to have actual problems with the download and install. Anecdotal: seems like I've seen way more problem reports/"need help" posts on the forums than a typical patch level update. I've seen several brick reports, too, which seems way out of line. So maybe they needed to look at an installer issue before they put it back up.
On the other hand, if you haven't gotten it yet I wouldn't worry much, I'm not seeing anything I'd consider a major improvement, either. I don't care about face unlock. LOL.
I did benchmarks as well. My numbers went up exponentially. Seems snappier! No issues whatsoever. Improved my blue tooth and Netflix now works. I'm a happy camper.
Before this update, I was having occasional issues with Chrome freezing and needing to force close. I didn't originally have this problem so figured it had to do with a Chrome update (I have it set to auto update so I don't know if it's was updated or not but something changed). After recieving .30 though, I can't say I've had an issue with Chrome.
I will say that the task/notification bar keeps popping up unexpectedly. And that never happened before. The tablet can be sitting in the dock open and the screen on but not touched at all by me and eventually the task/notification bar opens on the bottom right. I'm assuming this is a .30 update issue. Anyone else see this?
Chiming in.
No problems after .30 here either.
Yea i havent had any problems what so ever. don't know why everyone else is...

I remember the prime's firmware was uploaded on their site and some people were getting their devices bricked. The next day, the firmware was removed from the site. Maybe this could be the same.
Guys, after the update, games has been freezing up on me. Even Agent dash. Maybe this is why it was pulled?

bs player fcs on me now, black market fcs on me, and most importantly FILE MANAGER HD force closes on me. the hell asus ? it was great before that
Have had multiple issues since the update (only had the Infinity for about 2 weeks, and new to Android so not sure if I had it long enough prior to the update for these to show but all where working fairly flawlessly before):
BS Player crashes as soon as I tried to play a file - "Loading files..." - after a lot of googling, switched off something in the options about loading files and seems to work OK now
Dice player has frozen a few times
The email that comes with it - froze on one account out of three and wouldn't swap over - after about a dozen cold boots seems to have been OK for the past 12 hours
Dead Trigger, Modern War and City Crime - all crashing and freezing regularly (had maybe 2 crashes prior to the update)
Boat Browser and the stock browser have had a few crashes
No issues since the latest OTA. It seems snappier and more stable. I am much happier!
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
When I first got the. 30 update my tablet started locking up and rebooting. It had never done that before the update. I did a cold boot and it still did it. I finally did a factory reset and now I haven't had any issues for the last two days. The tab is much snappier and browsing has improved.
I was having problems with MXplayer, Dice and BS player after the update. I uninstalled all three of them did a hard reset (vol down and power on) and then installed them again. Now they seem to be working fine. I know MX and BS just recently had updates as well. Now BS player has an offset for the audio and it's a great workaround for the BT lag!
anybody have a link to the updates? my ota failed and i cant wait to flash .30

[Q] New Google Maps flickers on CM10.1

Some of you may have noticed that the new maps app flickers on MT4GS running CM10.1. I reflashed gapps with the old maps, turned off auto-updates and it still updated itself. It is just useless.
Does anyone have a solution? I doubt google cares.

Saw you mention this in one of the dev threads as well. I'm running SilverL's Unofficial CM 10.1 and haven't personally noticed this issue, while I saw someone else back you up with similar problems.
Maybe you pulled a map update I haven't seen yet? I'm showing version 6.14.4(#6140400) Web
Are you higher? Do you have a lot of layers on maybe?

Yes, version 7 is out. auto-updated earlier week on my phone. dev threads? i don't recall, posting anything, I don't think I have permission to post there.
Anyway, I figured it out. I reflashed gapps, but it doesn't contain the maps app, and that's why it was ineffective. I uninstalled version 7, and pulled the version 6 apk from a friend's phone and installed it.
I also turned off auto-update in play.

Sorry, saw someone mention it, thought it was you! Glad to hear it was sorted, I'll be sure to avoid a map update if I see one pop, but I haven't yet. Maybe it was causing issues outside of custom roms and google stopped pushing it until they got it sorted.
interesting, i was also having this issue.i was on the jellykang rom 1.8 and changed to silverL's 10.1 unofficial cm and im seeing a version 7.0.1 and it look like its working fine. ill report back if i see anything messing up again. but looking at android polices coverage of this update release reported that there were several versions getting pushed all over the place so maybe some work better than others..

Interesting. I finally popped for the map update yesterday, and after reading this I figured I'll give it a shot. I like everyone else definitely had issues with the map, the jitteryness, the menu icon on bottom left slightly off screen. I uninstalled and reverted to 6.14.4 from my backup and it's just fine again. Hope this does get fixed, the new map looks nice if it was working. Wondering if you really are issue free or just didn't notice anything real quick.
It did seem like as I was playing with location options (use network for location, gps radio on or off, let google always allow access, having a gps lock or not) sometimes it seemed like it would smooth out for a second or two, then get all glitchy again. Wonder if any official JB handsets are getting the issue, I think I know what I'll google next.

yea you were right, i just did a glance look at it and didint really dive into it that far. i checked it out again and it is still all messed up so nevermind ..
are there any custom roms that dont have the issue i wonder. maybe this can help narrow down the root cause. unless its just an inherent problem with the app as it stands today. it almost reminds me of this issues i was having with ingress when i was on stock.

Unfortunately it seems to me to be an issue with all of the 10.1's at least, and from my googling before, it seems likely specific to our device, just not sure why
Anywho, I'm pretty OK with maps 6, it works, and still has separate navi app, and is what anyone with earlier than android 4.0 is stuck with anyway.
UPDATE: So I tried the 7/22 update that I got hit with, and it's weird. Initially it seemed OK, aside from the menu button still being half off screen. After fooling around for a bit with menus and settings, it got all flickery again. It seems like it heavily had to do with overlays/prompt dialogues showing up. The box would kind of disappear aside from the outline, but still respond. After fooling around quite a bit and disabling boxes from asking again, eventually everything seems to have evened out. Now I haven't actually done any kind of navigation or heavy use, but I've been using v 7.0.2 now on and off for a few days, and the stutter hasn't come back. Wish I had a more definitive way of what I did to get rid of it, or if it eventually just smoothes out on it's own, but for now it seems like I'm good with the new maps on a CM10.1 rom.
Bump for update, anyone else experiences with new maps?

Yes, I'm having the exact same issues as you. Screen flickers and overlay menus keep blanking out so you can't read them. I have an HTC Inspire 4G running CM 10.1. Came across this thread searching for "Maps 7 screen flicker". I had to revert back to Maps 6 as 7 was unusable!

Im running PACman ROM v22.4.0, same issue as you guys with the new maps, and navigation is a stutterfest.
I'm on jellykang 1.8 and that's definitely happening to me. especially in the navigation app
Since others are now finding this thread outside of just us DS users, I figure I'll share this idea from a dev thread:

I hadn't, but that's a wonderful suggestion, wonder if anyone else has?
Edit: So after learning how to re-enable dev options, I just tried this, and it definitely seems to WAY help. Is there any downside to leaving this checked all the time?
So something for others to try/chime in on?
Guys, can you try disabling android debugging AND USB debugging in developer options?
I saw it on a sensation ROM forum and it seems to be working for me.

Hrm, I'll try it. Just loaded maps now, it was sketchy, disabled and seemed fine. Turned back on, and it was still fine, this one seems to be crazy inconsistent.
It wotk fine on my device
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9505 mit Tapatalk 2
possible workaround?
I found another workaround that seems to work for me:
Turn on the "Extended Desktop" (or "Expanded"? I'm on German here). And it's gone. Strangely the flickers don't return when I turn it off again.
Extended Desktop Option has to be activated in the settings, if it's not available in the power switch menu.
Counter perspective
I've just been working with the newest CM builds for the MT4GS, and I don't encounter any flickering. This is with a complete wipe prior to installing however.
same issue with HTC G2 on CM10.1
Hello,
I experienced the same issue on my HTC G2 with CM10.1. I had to revert to Maps v6...the v7 would sometime work fine, but most of the time I had some part of the screen flickering and the navigation feature was not usable at all (the animation would not work). I first thought it might be because of the overclocking. but I tried with stock frequency and the issue persisted.
My wife's Sony Ericsson Mk16a also has the same issue but on a custom stock rom..
