[Q]Nook App update broken - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Nook App on my tab just updated itself, and now i get an error when trying to sign in, did this happen with other people?
it says internal error: error exception executing command.
i've restarted, i've uninstalled then restarted, nothing. my tab is NOT rooted.
----------fixed ---------
Well I figured it out. I'm not saying it's because of thumbkeyboard, but this is the only thing I changed to make it work.
Typically after entering my login I just tap the sign in button. This ttime I minimized thumbkeyboard then tapped sign in and no error. So I think it had to do with the fact that previous attempts I left the keyboard showing which is weird but whatever. Back to reading!

you must have auto update enabled
i just updated mine and everything works. I did have to redownload a boatload of books for whatever the reason. Hopefully they're changing the way magazines are delivered. I hate the fact that it's nothing but bunch of pics being saved on the tab

anyone have ideas? B&n support isn't very helpful...
Ive cleared cache uninstall restart installed even cleared market cache & I still get same error after it says registering device and punch in my acct info

Haven't tried my nook app since it notified me that it had updated; will try it in a minute. I agree about all the damn pictures for my subscriptions, though. One of the things on my list for this weekend was to find out if gallery can skip certain directories.
UPDATE: the new nook app refused to even log me in. I uninstalling and reinstalled from the market and it works fine. Still unhappy about all those image files, though.

Market error; Apps won't install

So, noticed today I can't install anything from the market. Popup says 'purchase canceled - error processing request ' can't even download from the market website. Nothing happens. Phone's market is working fine. Tried deleting market cache and data. Restarting, even un/reinstalling via TB. Nothing.
Am I missing an update or something?
Can you sideload Apps?

Yes I could. Got it resolved. Had to delete my google account and add it back. No problem now. Weird
I would only get that error on apps, i guess not meant for the tab. For example, HBO GO. I would have to find the QR code just to find it the app. I side loaded it and the app says something along the lines of this app is not compatible.

[APP] Amazon Instant Video

I just found the apk posted and thought other NC/T users would be interested. Apparently it works on the NT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19459596&postcount=25
The application says my device is not supported. I'm running the miui rom.
I can install and run the API, can't log into my pekinese account. How do you log in?

To login you have to "buy" something. Don't worry if you are trying to watch something thru Prime for free... you don't have to actually complete the purchase. You can login and then abort the purchase and it will remember your login.
But it won't work after logging in if you are rooted (which you are

This is what I get when I attempt to purchase a video so I can log in. After I dismiss that warning, and when I attempt to log in, it is giving me an error that reads: An error has occurred. Please try again.
It would be really awesome to get this working on my NC. I must be honest, I'd really love to have a Nook Fire.
Amazon videos play decently on Opera mobile with it set to spoof a PC. I'd rather have the app interface though.
Videos are faster to load than hulu but the sound/video seemed to get a little out of sync.
The app keeps giving me errors when I try to login, OTA unroot doesn't seem to help. This prolly won't work until a hacked .apk comes out.

I get the same error, I am using CM7 and the Voodoo OTA RootKeeper.
Even after unrooting I see the "Your device is no longer configured orrectly to play Amazon videos" and after ignoring, the same "An error has occurred.. " message.
Has anyone with with CM7 and NC had any luck with this? I'm thinking that the security check may be more than a simple SU check, so just being unrooted may not be enough.
After getting Amazon Video working nicely on my Samsung Exhibit II I tried to get it to work on my Nook Color but everything was fine until I wanted to click 'Play Video' and it is grayed out. I even 'bought' a free episode and it's the same. Not sure if I can have this installed on two devices with the same account.
jic anyone is wondering
Disables playback on Xperia Play as well (GB rom)

Has anyone gotten the Kindle app fully working?

I rooted the NT and installed the Amazon Kindle app just fine.
It runs okay, but I cannot add any books to my device. It'll say it's downloading my device but it never shows up. Attempting a sync fails with "Sync failed. Please try again later." Yes, I'm signed in and connected to WiFi.

Works for me, i install the Kindle app directly from the google market. I was able sign-in, bring up all the books I brought, and is able to read them. So try reinstall your kindle app.
By the way, accidentally click thanks instead of reply, so looks like you got your "tx" hehe.
Okay I reinstalled it, went to re-download Sherlock Holmes... it said I already had it, but it doesn't show up in my list. I clicked "Read It Now" on the store page and it opened the book, but it says "Downloading Interrupted" even though it's at 100%. Only buttons are resume/cancel and neither resolve the issue.
I always get "Sync failed" still too.

Is your NT rooted? Also after download, have you try restarting your NT?
Yeah it's been rooted since day 1, and I've restarted it multiple times.
Did you install the Kindle app from the Google market or the Amazon app store? Just curious. It might matter, I suppose.
Installed via Google Market, which should work since it works for gordon1hd1...

Do you insert an microSD card into the NT? I know that some app won't work without a microSD (Dropbox being one of them). I put an 16GB mSD card into my NT since the first day i got it.
I haven't, I wasn't planning on buying a microSD quite yet.
Any chance you could use a file manager to see if you can find where your books are? This might be the cause after all, I wish the app would actually report why it's getting errors.

I am not at home, so i can't check my NT, but on my Samsung Galaxy S2, the kindle files are stored on /mnt/sdcard/kindle folder.
So i think that is your problem.
For whatever it may be worth, the Kindle app works fine on my non-rooted NT. I do have a microSD card in the slot.
The kindle app works on my nook but it looks like u have to read those books via that application.

Yep, it's the only app that officially decodes their drm. You can transfer those files off and remove the drm (don't ask me how ;P) and import it into another reader though (or convert it around with calibre - great ebook manager software; I definitely recommend it for managing your collection and conversions).
A lot of things won't work properly, save properly, or download correctly if you don't have an SD card inserted into an NT (or NC, afaik), so it's definitely a requirement (@OP) and will be useful for a lot of other programs as well.

[Q] Kindle App Errors

I rooted my nook tablet last week to get the Kindle app so I could continue my textbooks my new nook. But I am getting a "Unavailable for Download - The item is not compatible with the device", when trying to download books from the archive.
The root went fine I can access and download the amazon app from the market fine. Issues only occur when trying to add items from the archive.
I have a SD card inserted and see the structure of
Memory Card -> Android -> data -> com.amazon.kindle -> files -> b00tiqxaks_ebok.prc_temp which is saying this file is unsupported when I click on it.
Any tips?
I've had no troubles with it. I have seeral books from amazon and all seems to work fine.

Did it work first shot and you didnt have to modify anything?
I have uninstalled amazon kindle, rebooted, then resintalled.
Still with same issue.
Interestingly, I find sometimes the app will stop allowing bookmarks, highlights and syncing. Stopping and restarting the app does not seem to work. I have to turn the unit off and back on. Then all is fine again.
Weird problem.
I am having the same problem. It downloads the book and then says inturrupted, even though it appears that the whole file has been downloaded. Reinstalled the Kindle app with no changes.

Can't say I've had any issues with messages or failures (other than below), just the seemingly transparent effect of sync and bookmarks (and highlights) stop working. A power cycle clears it up, but would love to know what is causing it in the first place.

Reset App Store?

My daughters Fire 7 4th Gen (running stock FireOS 5.1.1) wouldn't install apps. I rebooted it and saw it was low on storage and removed 2GB of videos which I though would have solved the issue. It didn't. She had at least 10 app requiring updates, and no matter which one I clicked on it went to a download percentage in the 90s and then stopped and never went any further, nor attempted to install. She had over 2.5 GB of space remaining at this point.
Trying to find a solution other than the typical reboot and hard reboot (both of which I tried), I found an article saying to Clear the App Data of the App Store application, and reboot. This seemed like a good thing to try so I did, however the App Store library is now completely blank. The library doesn't show any apps and of course there can't be any updates if there is no apps.
The apps themselves are fine, but a few games require an update before she can play them and if I go t the store and try and "GET" it, it tells me I already have them and to download them from my library...which is blank.
So I'm looking for a way to repopulate my App Store without having to do a factory reset and lose a good chunk of my daughters game progress (for games that don't save to the cloud). I'm sure there must be way to get the library to resync, I just don't have a clue how.
Any advice?

So after waiting overnight the App Library seems to have repopulated, but no app updates show up. Furthermore, when I go to the store to an app that I know need an update I now have the option to select Update, and it downloads completely and goes to "installing", but then nothing happens. If I wait long enough the Update button returns, and the update is never installed. Any ideas on how to resolve?

Have you run any "adb shell pm hide" commands on the device--to get rid of ads or anything else? Or made any modifications whatsoever?

No mine was purchased ad-free. However i think I finally figures out something myself. While previously I had cleared the app data I never cleared the app cache. There was only 40KB in the cache vs like 500MB of appdata. Anyway, I went back in and wiped out the cache and and all the updates seems to install after that. In fact, I didn't even have to do i manually I just rebooted and I checked the versions of about 10 different apps that showed they needed updates and they were already updated. Its almost like they had previously updated but didn't actually register themselves and being updated.
I'm not 100% sure I understand what happened but I'm happy its working again.
