[Q] XDA app FCs on NT? - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

I installed the XDA app via Android Market after rooting and installing gapps via NARS. Whenever I'm logged in and try to access a thread I get a force close. (If I don't log in, works fine.)
Anyone else get this behavior and/or have any ideas to fix?

I asked this a while back. Others reported they had the same problem with the free app, but not with the paid one.

If memory serves, the XDA app looks for the devices IMEI number. Since the NT is not a phone, it doesn't have an IMEI number and crashes. The paid version apparently doesn't look for an IMEI number. Nook Color has had the same issue since day one.

[Q] Words with Friends broken since TW Update

Ever since I updated WWF after the TW update, I get an error connecting to the servers and can't play any games. I have tried a forced close and clearing cache. anyone else having problems with this? If so, does anyone have any solutions?
Thanks

I had to update in the market place to fix mine. Works perfect now.

I played last night and everything worked great, even got push notifications for the first time. WWF definitely needs a paid version for android to get rid of those annoying adds.
That and I can receive chat messages but I can't send them.

after doing the update from the market, i was able to send messages. I couldn't do anything without it FC or giving me network error message from the version that was loaded with Touchwiz.
How did you guys get the version from the market to update the TW version? When i go out to the Market "Open" is the only option I get.
when you go into settings>applications what version do you have installed? I am running 3.61
Mine shows up as 3.59. Funny thing is that the Market version says 3.61 but "open" is the only option I get.

Try clearing the cache for your market and see if it will come up
Mine is version 3.59 as well.
Same issue when I go to the market.
I just emailed the dev.
When are these adds going to be dealt with?

That did not work for me.
I removed my stock version and installed it again from the market. I pulled and zip the apk. Extract and install from from your sdcard.
I can't try it right now, but I will check it out later. Thanks for taking the time!

Naked, work was blocking the download. After getting impatient I tried logging into the Android market on my PC and forcing an install on my tablet. It worked like a charm! I am now running 3.61. I am testing it now, but I have yet to get an error.

Sweet, glad you got it working. Good idea on doing the web page market and forcing the upgrade. I'll keep that in mind in the future.
I have seen often programs not able to update properly when they are located /system/app. Since the it was part of the upgrade to TW, they have it located there.
The install from Market worked great for me as well.
Never knew you could do that.

TripleTapper, can you please explain more? Now do you "force install" from the market? It just tells me that my Nook Color is incompatible with the app, and the buttons are greyed out.
Thanks.
I just opened the Market using the browser on my PC. When I do that and search for Words for Friends I click on install. It then gives me an option to install onto my various Android devices by selecting it from a pull down. My Galaxy Tab comes up as Samsung GT-P7510.
Words has been working flawlessly now! : )

Custom rom - Paid up application not showing up

Hi Guys,
I have a problem i bought few applications when i flash custom rom its not showing up at present i am in MIUI rom. Any suggestions welcome.
does it not appear in the market or on your phone after installing it?
It might help to log onto market.android.com and try to send the installers to your phone. If it doesn't show up/it's greyed out, I guess the version of the app won't work with MIUI without buying it again. In that case, see if you're still eligible for refunds and rebuy it.
You sure they weren't purchased with a different Google account?

It may also help to clear the market data and cache...log back in...its happened to me a couple of times too.

Mine wasn't working either... it was installed as soon as I logged into my google account and all my apps from my SGS2 were funneled onto the TPrime. It kept crashing out as soon as launched.
I ended up just searching the market for it and re-installing it seemed to do the trick. The menus are choppy as hell but it works.

In the tablet settings enable something like "force hardware acceleration." I think it is in the developer section. If you can't find it, I can look at it latter and give a better explanation. That should speed up the scrolling.
Enjoy!
Did you update your time and date?
Try deleting and installing again with a reboot?

Try a service like Entropay. Create a credit card with a US address and use it for Netflix.
they want scan of my ID, passport and driving licence got email immediately after registering there.
ive ran out of ideas, guess i will give up on it but thanks for help
----
edit: IT WORKS ) ive registered with my real slovakian address and credit card, they asked me to send them ids, so i did. After about an hour my virtual card was OK. And it was accepted by netflix without problem... what an awesome stuff youve got there in US im impressed. (btw hulu doesnt work)
thanks for highjacking my thread....guess i'll never get my netflix working...woe is me
If you are rooted and own titanium backup you could try freezing the app and installing the one from the market which should install as a data app instead of a system app.
Have you tried clearing the data/cache in the app setting by going settings>apps and scrolling to netfix? I can't recall the exact location since I am at work.
Does it give the same status even if you don't have any updates installed?
ive tried many netflix apps, but this one works for sure. try it, maybe it will work for you too. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20911810/Netflix_1.6.0.apk
When i try to install the above apk, i get an error message that says an existing app with a conflicting signature exists...which makes sense asi am unable to uninstall the original netflix. Seriously im having a hard time believing im the only one experiencing ts problem?
OP are you rooted? Uninstall the netflix update, then try deleting the Netflix.apk from /system/app with root explorer, reboot, reinstall netflix from the market.
have you done a factory data reset since you upgraded to ICS? I had a lot of quirky bugs right after I upgraded but thy all disappeared with a wipe. Asus really should have included that as part of the upgrade.
anyways, google can backup your apps if you let it, so all you have to do is re-define your settings. I was done and ready to go within an hour of my wipe.
hopefully you dont have to do that but that will probly fix it. good luck!
Agree, a factory reset can fix all kinds of software issues and with Google App Backup it is easier than ever to recover.

[Q] Unable to install paid apps (running XXLPB)

I am able to install applications I have purchased before I installed the leaked XXLPB rom, but whenever I try to buy an app now, I get a message along the lines of "You will receive email when your purchase is resolved". I receive an order receipt on my Google Wallet account, and the app says it is purchased. But whenever I try to install it, it gets stuck at "Starting download...".
What to do?
Install them while on gb dump them to sd and reinstall via file mgr. The market license check should succeed on ics.

How would I do this? And isn't there an easier way?
Tried to buy an app on my HTC Desire running stock GB, but I had the same problem there as well.. This makes think that it is not a ROM-problem I am dealing with..

Easy way is not to use unreleased test beta buggy firmware .
Or try search ICS market problems as other users post the same problems .
If its not a rom problem then its usually either the market app dpi or your account .

Insufficient memory for 'TVCATCHUP'

Hi all not had my S3 long , but have rooted it and put a handful of apps on it.
I had a beta version of TVcatchup running fine, but then it stopped...saying 'application out of date. I then learned that TVCatchup have gone official on Android market. So I uninstalled and then attempted to do a fresh install of the new version via market...only to my promted with 'insufficient memory' messages.
When I look at my S3, typically it shows its got 110MB of rom, then when I run Adv-task-killer I can boost it to 280MB ( lord knows were the other 700MB rom has gone to :-0 )
Can someone please take a look at UKTV app TVcatchup and attempt to install. Please advise whether 110<>280MB is normal.
thx
Go into the root folder where app data is. Make sure that there's not a left over file of the old TVCatchup.
Sometimes beta apps like this mess up and you have to delete what ever is left over.

Would happily thank you but already spotted these posts and they got me nowhere, hence why I posted.
The only thing which could have more mileage is that I have installed lucky patcher and I recall I did try to remove ads for TVcatchup. So maybe something has been left in...
Would uninstalling lucky patcher help?
I had this except problem. i uniinstalled it and installed it via the play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/...esult#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5nemVyby50diJd
thanks now due....
dunno how or why , but after about four attempts off cache clearing and rebooting it suddenly started working.
thouogh still no luck with connecting to kies via usb. I guess thats a frsh battle
