Has anyone found a way to get Sirius/XM working on an Android Tablet? I have an Archos 70 and I downloaded the Sirius/XM app from their website and it does not work on the tablet. It just signs in forever until you cancel it or the device goes to sleep. I tried the app from the Canadian site too because I read it was a differnt version but it does the same thing.
Not sure why it would work on a droid phone but not a droid tablet running the same OS but I was hoping someone figured out an alternate way to do this or a fixed app for the tablet. This is about the only thing I haven't been able to do with this tablet. Any info is appreciated.
Same issue
I have been wondering the same thing..the app looks great, I don't see why it won't work, no error or anything just never comes up and takes you back to the login screen. The only thing I could come up with is the screen size, during the login its also supposed to be downloading the channel art, etc, maybe its an incompatibility with the screen layout but it seems like it would be a good place for an error message of some kind.
I hate to say it, but I believe this is a measure that Sirius implemented to make sure that this app is only being used by "authorized" devices. The "checking for updates" screen that I and everyone else seems to be getting stuck on is likely their way of making this app a "protected app."
I just hope that there are enough fans of both Sirius and the Android tablets that someone will make a hack or a work-around to get this app working. It works great on my Incredible, but I would LOVE to have it working on my A70.
Just installed the Sirius XM app on my Vizio Tablet with the same results.
What is crazy is that : siriusxm.com / player loads fine with Flash.
But there's no way for me to enter my login and password into the Flash text boxes. They don't seems to be recognized by Android OS as text entry areas.
I'm running 10.3 of the Adobe Flash plugin on my Vizio Tablet.
I realize this is an old thread but I figured a way to make it work. I simply installled the app on my rooted phone. Then I copied the com.siriusxm.apk to a sd card. Put the sd card in my tablet and copied it to the local folder. Tapped on it to install it and shazam.
Screencap of it working?

Okay, so first I have to have a rooted phone? I have a G1 I am not using, could I use that?
Where do I find the com.siriusxm.apk? I have Linda Manager on the G1, do I find it in the application's folder?
Just tap to install the mentioned file and it should install? Then fire up the Sirius/XM app, log-in and it will work?
Thanks, I'm in the market for a Archos 43 now that the price has dropped. This "trick" might work on the Samsung Galaxy Players that just came out as well.
Im wondering if you put the opened version you took off your rooted phone here would we be able to use it?
would be a great help. My problem is that my account is in the states but im living in canada.
Have you tried the newer SIRIUSXM 2.0 app. They use it with their new LYNX radio which is android based.
no I haven't. They won't even let me download it here in Canada even tho my account is based in the states.

FINALLY !!!!!!
I finally have a working copy of this app on my Xoom. It is in the play store under SiriusXM Internet Radio. It says May 3rd, 2012, version 2.0.0.62. I upgraded from an older non working version today just for the hell of it and to my surprise it logged in and I was listening for a good hour or 2 without interruption. My Xoom will definitely get more use now.

Hey guys-
I don't think anyone has asked this one yet, and I can't find an answer in the Dev forums. I know that people had been getting the Nook app (the one from the market) to work with NookieFroyo, but has any had any success getting it to work with Honeycomb on the Nook? I tried installing it today after getting version 2 (which was posted this morning, I believe) to no avail.
I get to sign in and everything and I can even download books, and futz with the settings. But, when I go to read a book it either sits there loading forever, or just crashes outright. Has anyone had any success?
Peter
+1 same problem here.
I was about to post this same question. I believe I saw someone in the main honeycomb thread who said they got it working but I can't remember where or who it was. This is really the only thing keeping this from being a daily driver for me.
Same problem for me, but not only does the nook app just sit and spin, but 50% of the time, nook and kindle crash the device every time, and it reboots.

I'm in the same boat. I get a FC when it loads.
Using the 2a build.
It works for me just fine.
This is not antagonistic, but what advantages are there between the Nook and Kindle apps? I'm sure people have a preference, but I've never seen a need to move away from Kindle. (Supporting B&N is a good reason, I suppose.)

And just to be certain, you're on Honeycomb....and you've actually opened a book and gotten text (not just the table of contents)? I'd be very interested in what version of HC you're using. This would be my daily driver if I could get the nook app working. I appreciate any insight you have!

I have B&N nookbooks so that is why I would like to use this.
im on same bout also running nookhoney v3 get main screen get library and also download books but it hangs on opening book or get a FC. shop opens but havent tried to purchase anything yet.
For me, I use B&N and have friends that use B&N. We use the LendMe feature, which saves me some cash here and there. On the Kindle side, my wife lovers her Kindle, and I sync my Kindle app with her account, and we share books that way.
It's working!!!!
I am running v3 of deeper_blue's HC image and the Nook app works for me. Finally. And I am not sure how or why, it just started to work. I could get to my library before and I could download my book(s). But previously, I would try to open the book and it didn't seem to load, only the never ending circle.
The page loads, I can turn pages, bookmark them, close out, come back to the same page, go to the table of contents, skip to a chapter, etc.
I did change the screen to NOT auto-rotate. I was getting FCs when the screen would flip around between apps, so I shut it off. I am not sure if that helped, but that is one thing that is different now v. before.
(on the other subject: I like all the readers - B&N, kindle, and google books. They are all fine. I like the features that are offered by the NC for the B&N books the best, but they all work fine and read fine )
Great news. I also see that Honeycomb v04 was posted today and it specifically addresses problems with the nook and kindle apps. I'm really glad this is finally fixed. I read quite a bit and the lack of a nook app kept me from using HC as my daily driver.

Nook app definately works in HC v4.
But NO magainzes or newspapers in the app. Very disappointing.
Weird I MUCH prefer the app reader experience with the turning pages, etc. but the stock NC is the only thing I have seen let me access the newspapers and magazines
what about the nook color reader app
Is there any way to get the reading app that is on the internal memory to work with HC? Theat would be ideal and the NC would then be just about perfect!

Hi Peter,
Nook app on HC v4 works great for me. It syncs BN library pretty quickly as well.
I tried unmounting uSD before installing it (and several other apps giving FCs) and it worked. Now its my standard ePub reader again.
Good luck m8!
Hey everyone! I'm new to the forum and just received my g tablet today. I followed the instructions for installing cwmod and tnt lite 4.40 and everything went great. However, I've run into a few issues. When trying to download angry birds it hangs at 15%. I have tried multiple times to kill the download and restart it with the same results.
I'm also new to Android. Is there a way to set things up so my gmail is not accessible to anyone who picks up my tablet? I could also use a recommendation for a good video player that plays .avi files. Another problem I'm having is that whenever I try to play a music file in either the native music player or winamp, the app crashes. Everyone told me how much better android is than apple but so far im not that impressed. Can anyone make some recommendations so I can see the full potential of this tablet? Thanks in advance!
I just upgraded from 4.2 to 4.4.0 and don't have any of the issues you are referring to. I was previously getting a couple of force closes that I don't have anymore with 4.4 which makes me happy. I just confirmed movies play, but I don't have any songs loaded to test that. Hopefully someone here with greater knowledge will chime in quickly. You made a good choice going with Android - don't give up hope. It does take a little more effort to get it setup the way you want it, but the beauty is that you HAVE a lot of choices which iOS does not allow. You'll get there, and then you will love it.

Have you tried clearing caches? Wiping data? Many times those two simple things (which are usually recommended procedure after flashing a new ROM0 will clear up all kinds of problems.
With the latest TNTL you should be able to activate the lock screen. You'll need to set up a shortcut through your launcher to a security settings screen that isn't shown by default. That will allow you to enter a password, pin or unlock pattern.
Update: Just realized camera isn't working either. As for the Angry Birds problem, I have downloaded and installed other apps with no problem but for some reason Angry Birds hangs at 15% - super frustrating! Also, is there a way to do a screen capture? Thanks in advance!
I had a similar problem
You really need to check the error code to verify. I was having a similar issue and I found an article to resolve my issue.
This worked for me but like I said you need to check if you are receiving an error when attempting to install.
I would only do what this little fixit instructs to fix

The caveat with the android over apple is the versatility and personal control over how you get to use your device. That said, it requires a little bit of effort, research, and frustration to get it all to work perfectly if you choose to use the latest builds. If you want the least amount of problems use the most stable build (which is usually not the most latest build) Once you get use to it, using the latest build with bugs won't be so intimidating and frustrating...maybe still frustrating

If the camera is not working, you definitely want to do a data wipe (this is a GTablet, correct? I ask because VEGA and Adam users have tried to use TNT Lite before, and their cameras would definitely break).
As for screen capture, I used ddms (in the Android SDK).
Hello,
I picked this up at Staples this afternoon but having some problems.
Turned on bluetooth and found the keyboard right away. Tried to pair with the device asked for a PIN which the manual lists as 0000, paired up fine.
However in the status it says paired but not connected.
Anyway have one of these and gotten it to work? From searching it appears to work with Nook Color, I'd be surprised if it doesn't work with ours.
Edit: I am running completely stock at the moment. I had clockwork and vegan but restored to whatever the current rom VS has out, 3588 I think?
Edit2: Could someone who has the .apk for Bluetooth Keyboard Easyconnect please forward it to me? It doesn't show up in the market and the sites that list it won't let me download because my "device is not compatible", which is really annoying.
Edit3: It works!
Thanks,
Neudle
If the Apple bluetooth keyboard works on our gTabs I would be surprised if you can't get the Xoom keyboard to work with it.

This is all highly dependent on the ROM he is running. Some ROMs will work out of the box, some won't, and some will with coaxing.
im running the Vegan 5.1.1 rom and im having the same issues.
works FLAWLESSLY OOTB on my motoX with GB, but on vegan its a battle. one of the biggest issues I have with the Gtab atm is a lack of a fully functional rom. Vegan is about 90%, TNT is about 90% but crippled in some ways with its reliance on the stock rom, cyanogen is about 85%. but compared to even the half baked droid X roms out, its kinda pissin me off, ive contemplated going Xoom more than a few times this week. if only it had a USB port!
Looking for Easyconnect .apk
If someone has the .apk for easyconnect could you please forward it to me?
I finally had to install the enhancement pack to get the market but the app still doesn't show up even after trying to do the market fix.
I've found download links on other sites but unable to grab the file.
It's really annoying when sites won't let you download an app because "device is not compatible". A warning about potential non-compatibility is fine but I wish they wouldn't babysit me and let me decide if I want to try an app.
I really like this keyboard and I'd like to try to get it working if at all possible. The only potential solution I've found is trying the Easyconnect app.
Thanks,
Neudle
ALso looking for that pesky and elusive Easyconnect APK file
Howdy all. New to the dev forum due to my recently recieved and rooted G tablet. Absolutely loving it, but would love to get my bluetooth keyboard working. Seems like the next attempt to get ig to pair AND connect should be with the bluetooth keyboard easyconnect app, which the market will not give me access to. Any chance I could get a copy of the file? Or maybe there is a way for me to download the file onto another device, eg my laptop or my girlfriends droid x, and then send that file over to my tablet? I have trued to get it off the droid x but cantt seem to find where the downloaded app is.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Eliot

You have to have root on your Droid X and then use RootExplorer and look in the data/app directory. If you don't have root on your Droid X then get Z4Root and use it to root it.
Xoom Bluetooth Keyboard Working
Big thanks to Stingray_ for forwarding me the easy connect .apk!
As a newb it took me a minute to figure out what I was supposed to do with Easyconnect but as soon as I rebooted it connected and I've had no issues with disconnections so far.
Great little keyboard with specific keys for navigation, home key-search-back key.
Thanks again Stingray_.
Neudle
Still some minor issues
Didn't have a lot of time to mess with it when I originally replied.
The Home key works but that's it. I haven't been disconnected even after about an hour of sitting off and on, so basic functionality seems solid but that's it.
The 'function' keys appear to be preassigned for things like mail, web, and other stand phone/tablet processes but they are not working right now.
I still like this keyboard but the preassigned functions would be nice when I have it sitting at home in a stand.

has anyone worked a custom rom that will accept a mouse and keyboard with this tablet? I'd love to hook my monitor up to it and get it working to just create a server instead of having a full PC laying around. I know some mice work here, but only single click. any accepting a dual click scenario through a remote desktop type login?
Anyone try the new 1.5 version of Netflix now available in the market? I installed it twice, once from within version 1.4.1 when it prompted me to update to a new version, and again fresh after uninstalling version 1.4.1. In both cases, with new version I can hear audio, but it does not display video. Anyone else having this problem? New version states that it supports Android 2.2, 2.3, and 3.x in the USA, Canada, and Latin America.

+1 - Same issue here. I think it's an epidemic.
Damn Netflix... Every time they get the product working halfway decent, they do something to screw it all up again. I'd think with their myriad of public relation issues at the moment, they'd be more careful not to screw things up, but there's me thinking again....
On my Nook it won't even complete loading the new version.
I reverted to the previous which works GREAT.
I just got my Nook Color (version 1.2 out of the box) and I'm trying to root it and play me some Netflix.
I followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987735 and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054027 and as far as I know I"m rooted properly. Where it says to 'follow on-screen directions' it included removing my SD card, so everythings been running smoothly without the SD card in, though as part of my work to get Netflix running, when I insert the SD card it now says its corrupted/invalid/whatever and needs to be formatted =\
After getting it rooted, I followed the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOZFBqiUvUI and managed to download both apps from the market with no problem (they were in the app list, didn't have to 'backdoor' by a link to the apk). But Netflis just stays at the red splash screen with the spinning circle, not doin' nothin'. Furthermore, it now says my SD card I used to install CWM et al. is invalid and needs to be reformatted.
I tried downloading a Netflix .apk from...a link somewhere (can't find it in my history T_T), and my Colordroid says it wants to open it with either APp Installer (which seems to do nothing) or the Package Installer (Whcih says it's not a valid package). Where'd I go wrong? I want to uninstall the Netflix App I already have installed, but I can't seem to find my way to that screen.
Thanks for the heads up, I won't be updating, as it is asking me to do....don't fix what ain't broke...
I got it going on my end. I had to format my SD card so it was usable, then use the ES File Explorer to a) copy the APK from SD card to /system/apps, then b) use ES File Explorer to also install the app. No other 'install this app' method seems to work. One series of clicks I triewd produced a "Your Phone is set to not allow installs outside of google market" or whatever, even though I set that to be allowed in NookColor Tools, but I got it goin' fine now.
In the end, it's what I thought it was to begin with -- user ignorance. Though having multiple threads saying "New versio Netflix works, no hax!" and then the new version of Netflix actually not working because of Netflix'...poor design...wasn't helping me. XD
Same here. Reverting back to the older version, my son is flipping out because there's no picture, he's 3.
same here..Excellent job, Netflix
The issue appears to be fixed in the new 1.5.1 update from Netflix.
Also, there is no rotation lock imposed (no more need for hacking).
In the "What's new" section:
Code:
4. Fix incompatibility with CyanogenMod 7 ROM devices.
Go get it!

Hmm.. I had the market version and uninstalled it. I wonder if the culprit in this scenario isn't Chainfire 3d messing with the market... Now I'm starting to wonder if I should remove it and roll back my market, or if it's reading the screen density again (160 atm). Either way, it installed straight from the market the first time, now it's giving me crap - I may just send it from my phone.
I am on Miui latest...

Although you know what? The market should open itself unless there's a PURPOSE. Screw them... If it's not a compatibility issue with the GPU or an actual incompatibility with the Android version then allow us to grab it from the market. If it's free anyhow, WTH are they doing blocking it from us?
Sorry, that's my rant... Google and their blocking crap has been getting on my nerves lately. Their new approach to fragmented market availability based on individual devices is exactly the reason we all stay away from Apple... We hate walled gardens, so Google creates 50+ of them?
I don't think so...

How is the latest implementation of the market not a compilation of several fragmented gardens? We in these communities fight and hack our way to get software that runs perfectly on our devices anyhow. But I digress ... I pushed the apk from my phone.
I guess it's not a garden per se because they aren't locking us into Google products,but their mini-ecosystem designed to keep people in boxes feels like a walled garden... Tell me you wouldn't enjoy a more open market limited only by firmware revision and GPU?

I rooted my Nook a couple weeks ago, but I did not debloat. However, when a notification to update Netflix came up, I think I did the update. Now, the sound is not quite in sync with the picture. Is there a way to tell if I am using the "special" Netflix that came loaded on the NT or if I am using the standard Android Market downloaded app? I'm truthfully not sure that the out-of-sync issue started after this update, but I know it was not there prior when I originally got the NT and watched a couple of videos prior to rooting.
Edit:
Oh, and I did the update while at the GoLauncher home, not the NT home (if that matters). Also, the Amazon viewer does not have this issue at all and works great (after doing the temporary unroot thingy).
I am using the stock Nook app (i.e. not from the android market) and I noticed an out of sync video the other day. I don't know if it has anything to do with the app though. Haven't really looked into it otherwise.
I was watching Netflix on my computer last night and it was all out of sync, I wonder if it is a Netflix issue and not a NT issue?
Watched a show on my computer at lunch and watching a show on my TV thru the Roku right now and both synced perfectly.
I've noticed some shows and videos (sometimes) are like this, try another movie, could be just a temporary problem since netflix is working well on my nt.
This is a problem that I've run into on all of my streaming devices with Netflix. If you go into your account (on the Netflix website) and look at your recently watched list, you can report Audio/Video sync issues.
I've got to believe it's an app (or app plus device) issue since the same movie streams fine on my computer and Roku. Checked my wifi on the NT with Speedtest and I got 16 mb/s download speed, so I doubt that is any problem either.
Does anyone know if it's even possible to update over the "stock" NT Netflix app?

If it's installed to /system/app, generally the market will not update it.

I read that if you leave the actual app in it's original install location and create a symbolic link in system/apps, then you're good to go on updates.
Thoughts?

I haven't heard that, but it makes sense. However Netflix is installed to /system/app by default (by B&N), so you'd have to move it out if you wanted updates.

So it sounds like I still have the stock app. Has anyone else had problems with the audio being slightly out of sync.
On my NT it goes out of sync for the first 30 secs maybe then usually catches up.

I am on rooted stock 1.4.0 and the Market is suddenly showing a Netflix update for me.
Very strange. I'd prefer to keep the stcok version.
Just watched 30 minutes of Airplane on the new Netflix app, works great! Im 999 rooted, not Cm7 presently.
I'm also getting an update message from the stock netflix app. Anyone know if i should upgrade? It won't replace the stock version with the market version or anything, will it?

I wish I knew. For now, I'm not going to. I have unchecked the auto update option and that seems to have prevented it so far. Just have to make sure I don't accidentally hit it when I have other updates to process.
Unrooted new nook and audio vidio sync
My new nook which I have yet to operate on has had a/v sync issues with some movies from Netflix. So I suspect it is them, not the NT.
One other thing I have noticed is frequent pauses for buffering, like every five minutes. It is running through our home WiFi (which I use through the TV with a Wii, which will pause for uploading maybe two to four times during the movie.) Do others have this? Is there any remedy for this, or will an SD card help?
every time i reboot my nook, it says there's an update for netflix in the market. no matter if i update or not it always goes back to the stock app. i have the same problem with pandora and hulu plus only i have two copies of pandora and hulu plus has been uninstalled more times than i can remember. any fixes?
I am pretty sure stock version comes in 1080p as where the market is not, however Im not completely sure just use titanium to make a back of the original and then freeze it, install the market version and check out the difference your self, if you find it to not to work out as well uninstall and restore the version that came with your nook.
