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.

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 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).
Has anyone had issue with the audio being out of sync with the video while on Youtube in the browser? I don't know if I had this issue from the start or not (only had my nook a few days) or if it's the result of a sideloaded app.
I did try to install the youtube app and it kept crashing constantly. I uninstalled that app and now I'm wondering if it messed something up.
What would be the best way to "fix" this assuming it isn't a normal thing.
Thanks,
Rick

I had this problem and once I updated the Flash player things were fixed.
I have version 11.1.102.59
Get "Tubemate" off the market. Its much better than the youtube app and watching them imbedded.
Some reason on my device both embedded and the youtube app compress my videoo, even when i select 720p. With tubemate you get full HD quality.
Please for give the noob questions, but here goes.

I'll look into that, I'm pretty sure it's available on amazon market.
Thanks everyone for the responses. I did some experimenting since my original post.
I decided to do a factory restore since I wanted to be sure it was something I did that caused the behavior. After the restore, I noticed the NT went to the mobile youtube (I then remembered I had switched it into destop mode before) which played video flawlessly. Everything was in perfect sync. I then changed to desktop mode for the full youtube and again, w/o any other applications installed, the audio was at least 1/2 second out of sync with the video. This again was directly after the factory restore without any extra apps installed.
Rick
The mobile is less taxing on the system then the full site and upgrading flash would help as well. Mobile might be using a different flash version then the full site as well since its made to run on weaker hardware then the full site is. Im sure you could find the latest version of flash if you searched google for the flash.apk
Hi, after upgrading to ICS everything is working much better, except for the youtube app. Pretty much every time i click on a link it says "unfortunately, Youtube has stopped" especially when you use the search function...
Is this happening to anyone else, or can you offer a solution?
I've rebooted, cleared data etc....
Any ideas?
Mine does the same thing.

Yup had this too. Not with all of them though. Some it shows some it doesn't.
Settings, Apps, ALL, YouTube... then force stop, and clear data! Mine was doing that until I cleared the app data and now it works fine!
If you're rooted, you can just use Titanium Backup and "WIPE DATA" on the YouTube app!
mine works fine without clearing any data
nup, mine still likes to troll me ...
mine seems to still be working fine. everything loads up alot faster.
YouTube does that on my phone running ICS too. It is an issue with ics and not the tablet.

Did a Force Stop/Clear Data, and so far so good, but I was only seeing "You Tube Stopped Working intermittently, so I cannot verify this as a valid fix until I test it some more. Seems promising, as quite a few app issues get fixed this way after updates. Sure beats the early TF101 days when you needed to jump though all kinds of hoops to fix YouTube and NetFlix
THe crashing happens only for HD videos , for other videos it works fine for me .
Even clearing data doesn't help with HD videos.
Even the glowball app crashes as soon as i open , this used to work fine with honeycomb.

Hi there,
I am facing the same issue as yours from today evening. I am however facing it on the Galaxy Nexus running ICS 4.0.2. The YouTube app is constantly crashing, regardless of whether I play videos via the widget or via the actual app. I am also unable to see my videos from subscribed channels in the widget or the actual app. Only videos from Most Discussed or Recommended are being displayed.
The app was working fine until last evening and I have force stopped, cleared the cache and all saved data + restarted phone several times. No effect. It does not matter whether I am on 3G or WiFi.
Any suggestions?

Yeah, like for me. worked fine yesterday. Have no problem with the stability, just the sync don't work
And just now it's started to worked little. can now see my subscribe channels if I go under account.
on the start, main screen most discussed and recommend are showing. here is used to see the newest from my subscribe channels
Start to think that Google are doing maintenance or upgrade and there for its not working as it should.
Have we been able to watch live video with the app before???. and movie categories?? all this under the search button

Whats up people Iam loving my Prime now rooted with Vipermod. I started using the youtube app today and noticed non of the problems posted here but did see that when I scrolled the mouse across the screen it flickered at the top and that when I stream with bluetooth it takes while for it to load and keeps on reloading the video after a couple of seconds even if the video has loaded already. The second I take off bluetooth device video streams fine in HD with no reloading. Wanted to see if anyone else can test this out as well.
Yeah, mine started working again... i played with the HD settings and turned it on and off before it crashed.. and now its working. Hmmm

Are you talking about the Youtube app Hd settings and that when your turned off Hd the it would not have a problem streaming youtube. Dont think you were referring to my post but wanted to ask.
i just turned off hd in the bottom left corner of the video before it could load... then watched it for a bit... then turned it back on and it all started to work again, in both standard def and HD. I have no idea why it worked, but it seemed to
this, unfortunately, does not fix my problem. Ironic enough, everything else for this tablet WORKS so far.
Also, not sure if it's truly fact that ICS is not supported, or ASUS messed up somewhere... Either ways, here's the problem: (click the screenshot provided)
It clearly says on my other devices Youtube is already installed. However I went to Market on my TFP, and it won't show up. I go on site and the screenshot is what I get.
So, who exactly is at fault? Google or Asus?
Also, I had this bug since first ICS rollout.
I spent yesterday flashing and reflashing sample DRM packages testing JB ROM streaming apps to see if they would work, and today after restoring my Androwook backup the Directv app is giving me an error when I try to watch video on the tablet. I know Directv just updated their app today and is refusing to let the old app work anymore, so I am unsure if I screwed something up with the DRM's (I completely wiped everything and even restored the sdcard folders when I restored.) Or is the updated app just not working now on the prime or custom Roms. Noticed others have commented on the playstore that Directv app has issues after the update too, though. App works fine still on my Samsung S3.
So is the App still working for any Prime users still?
UPDATE
Not sure anyone will even read this since there was no initial response, but it is no longer working on my wife's Samsung 7+ tablet running GB either so I'm going to assume it is a general tablet issue.
It is some file change in the /system. I have yet to figure it out
