The new spotify on Tf201 working? - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Hello!
So i noticed that a new Spotify version was released yesterday. Can anyone confirm that it works properly with the transformer prime?
The last versions of the Spotify have so many problems, and the biggest problem was the fact that you couldn't sync songs offline.
How is it working for you guys?
-Martin.

It works and syncs on mine (stock rom or CM9), but I had the impression it uses a lot of CPU, and is not adapted for tablets at all (portrait-mode only…).

Allright, I'll try it then. I am getting furious if I have to re-install it once more, if it doesn't work.
And for your portrait problem, use the app called "orientation control". Allows you to set an option for apps without landscape support to actually get in to landscape.
I use it for instance on Spotify and Instagram to get landscape mode.

It's working great for me, haven't gotten stuck on offline mode since the update.

Yeah, it's working for me now. The previous version (and the preview for this version) gave me offline errors when any playlists were downloaded.
Now we'll just be waiting 6 months for them to update this version with landscape mode.

Yeah, works for me too. You should check out the app "orientational control". fixed my issues with landscape mode. works quite well with spotify.

The update version of Spotify for Android works much better now. It used to close itself whenever you starred or added a song to a playlist, which now works fine. Wish they would add a landscape mode, but will try the Orientation Control app mentioned by others (thanks!).

It works ok but the lack of landscape support annoys me. Also I find the rest of the interface pretty clunky.
I tried the free trial of Rdio and the client is far better; makes good use of the tablet's real estate and supports landscape. Other than that the services are much the same, so I might switch.

[Q] Best versatile build.prop Market Fix?

As I go through yet another build.prop market fix, I can't help but wonder: is there a build.prop market fix (or any kind of fix) that gives you the best of both worlds (all 2.x and 3.x apps are visible in the market, working Flash Player, runs 3.x apps and maybe even Netflix)? If not, anything close to it (I can live without running 3.x apps)?
P.S. - If possible, I prefer to stick with Froyo/2.2 since the display quality and video playback & hardware acceleration performance has been superior to 2.3.x and 3.x ROMs in my experiences so far.
HTC Vision gets Netflix good for GB. I also don't notice anything missing from the market. Guess you could use vegan 5.1.1 and throw in the Netflix patch and then mod build.prop and see what happens. Breaks YouTube app by the by but browser viewing still works peachy.
You can't run 3.0 (Honeycomb) code on 2.3 (Gingerbread) or 2.2 (Froyo).
No build.prop will ever give you that.
The build.prop is the properties of your build....ie what OS, manufacturer, some basic settings and such. Edits of it may allow you to see certain things in the Market but seeing them doesn't mean they will install or run.
If you want Netflix (and now Hulu Plus), CM7.03 stable is your best option. It also sees nearly everything that will function on the tablet in the Market.
I miss nothing from VEGAn5.1.1 now that I'm on CM7.03. I've gained a ton (better stability, WiFi location services, better market (no fixes needed) access, Netflix, etc...
I keep hearing CM 7.0.3 is the best option. It still doesn't have native Nvidia drivers, correct?

That's correct, but they did add in some hardware acceleration code of their own to improve video playback. It's not perfect, but most videos seem to work pretty well for me.

Worked like a charm... except [modded/patched] Netflix doesn't play video for me (it looks like its going to play, shows play/pause and seek control but goes back to the main screen almost immediately). No biggie, I rarely watch Netflix anyway.
I see everything in the market and all the T/HD games actually run. Thanks!
You can clear app data for netflix from manage apps then fix permissions with cwm. This fixes a lot of Netflix issues (chipmunk, slo-mo, bad banding)

Did you just change the device to HTC Vision? Or did you copy a complete build.prop from somewhere? Link?
Thank you!
I just changed it to HTC Vision in build.prop. Netflix also works now (from the Market).

Skpe Problem

Just Skyped last night and noticed something peculiar: my image was sideways no matter how I turned the Flyer. The person I was Skyping repoted the same problem.
The the SKype developers really screw this up and assume that the camera on our tablet is at the top and not on the right side? Is there a setting somewhere in the Skype app to fix this?
Yeah, Skype does not get along with a lot of ROMs. on the one I use (LeeDroid) it works fine in normal landscape mode, but turn the tablet any other way and the picture is upside down
That same thing was happening with Skype on the flyer too. It started happening after the latest update I couldn't find a fix within Skype so I just uninstalled it and then installed a previous version. The camera is now working correctly in landscape and portrait.

On the Honeycomb leaks, the cameras work with skype , but with the same rotation issues, but they don't work with some other apps like camera 360 and paper camera and google talk video.

Apps and features not working with the unofficial ICS 4.0.3 update

Updated my tab to the ICS update that was linked in the general forum prior to the mediapad gettings its own forum (hurrah).
Was hoping that the tab will be blazing fast after the update, sadly don't see much of an improvement.
However the big issue is some apps are dog slow, or refuse tow work. If you have any problems with apps with the update please list and tell if you know of resolution.
Let me start.
1. ezPDF reader - Takes ages to load a PDF after the update. Rendering is very very slow.
2. Adobe PDF reader - Fast than ezPDF, but still the rendering is slower. I was expecting the 2D rendering performance to improve with ICS, but sadly no luck.
3. Browsers are very slow. Though the benchmarks might be different, the actual page load times are now slower with the native browser and on dolphin HD.
2. The very useful feature that showed running apps, and recent used apps is now missing, and you have the generic list of apps
All the adobe apps like touch, proto etc. They hang on a black screen.
Latest copilot live just fc.

Amazon Kindle (v3.3 & up) not working: all books content (text & graphic) is blank.
(it's working on ICS Beta prior this leak)
Now using old v3.2 & working well (but of course, font is less pretty & no pdf support).
1. Google Play keeps restarting
2. Google Play has issues handling multiple threads (loading an app detail screen while several apps are being updated, results in lost connection errors)
Not sure if the Google Play problems are related to ICS or the device.

Quickoffice Pro HD doesn't work. I had purchased/installed it for Springboard on 3.2, but after going to 4.0.3 it was not listed in My Apps when I go to Google Play on the tablet. When going to Google Play on my PC, the app shows up as installed - but with a note that it is incompatible with all of my devices.

Good thought - I had tried that but no luck.
I was able to get Swype keyboard to install by going to high resolution, where it had previously not worked due to incompatible resolution.
Zinio isn't working for me.. App works but the magazines are just rendered as black pages.
Put SketchBook Pro on the list, fc on start.
Additionally:
* Autodesk SketchBook Express - does not start
even if there is a statement on playstore page "√ Now runs on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Optimized for screen sizes 7 inches and greater."
* Navfree - blackscreen on startup (was fine on HC)
HDMI out - working, but the picture looks like a low resolution upscaled to a higher resoution.. also, when the cable is connected before enabling the HDMI output function, you need to disconnect and reconnect.. otherwise you'll get no picture at all..
tried this with HC 3.2 (B016) on the same device, with same cable/TV (Sony Bravia KDL-40W4000), and the picture looks great (like a real HD 720p/1080p resolution).. also you don't need to reconnect the cable..
EDIT: tested on two more LCD TV's..
Sony Bravia 37" (full hd) - the picture doesn't display at all.. it only blinks for a split second...
Philips 32" (hd) - the picture is displayed, but it's the same as described above with the KDL-40W4000
EDIT 27.3.2012: tested with the latest International version S7-301u_V100R002C002B008, and it's still the same :\
EDIT 29.3.2012: tested with PC monitor.. based on the information that the information menu of the monitor provides, that standar output is 640x480, which si far from HD/FULL HD .. and maybe that's the reason why it looks so ugly on most TVs..
but.. when the HDMI output is changed in the hidden menu (description here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23862818&postcount=5 ) the resolution was 720x480...

Netflix
Looks like Netflix isn't working with the new ROM. I get the opening screen where I pick a movie but when it starts to play I just get a black screen. Maybe this is a DRM issue not sure but it sucks.

Data/LTE, bluetooth all works great.
H/w acceleration I think has been fixed too.. Can play videos on YouTube but some videos played thru chrome are a bit glitchy on loading fullscreen..
Have not tested any games.
Only GPS doesn't working. And WiFi location too.

Yeah, that's the Recovery's fault i believe. Just flash boot.img before flashing CM, and it'll work just fine. I'm using this one.

Yeah, I figured. The wait time's actually just to get the ZU fastboot drivers installed; Flashtool is taking forever to download. Though thanks for the link, I was just going to use the boot.img out of this CM instead.
Here are the things i've found so far:
- Videos are really glitchy, but they play with audio
- YouTube (HQ) works perfectly
- H/W acceleration is fixed(?) (got 30063 in Antutu, which i assume would be impossible without h/w acc.)
- Audio bug is still present (can't adjust the volume)
- GPS doesn't seem to work
- I have full root (which i didn't have on the unofficial build)
- WiFi/data works fine
- Calling works fine
- Camera works, but it has some focusing issues when recording videos. Also, the videoplayer glitch is also present when trying to play recorded videos.
Alright, I got it up too, so here's my observations (I didn't have time to do a heavy observation, but I confirmed a few things).
-Location seems to work, or at least it wasn't doing that "Locating" icon in the task bar like it usually does when the GPS doesn't work.
-Like LordManhattan observed, video playback is functional, but glitchy as hell. If you're listening to music on youtube it works fine, but otherwise it's not really good. Much better than it was before.
-On the older one I had an issue where I soon as I loaded GAPPS audio on the entire phone would break. That's been fixed.
-I used Drastic to test the graphics (Though it may be a poor test, because I think it's a software thing). It worked fine.
-I don't seem to have the audio adjustment issue everyone else is talking about.
On the whole, I think it can work as a daily driver now... I kinda need it to since my only other option ATM is DoggRom.

Is YouTube playback glitchy for you? It worked (i'm back on stock for now) perfectly for me. No glitches at all, but local videos and other streamed media have ugly glitches.

I used Viral at first to confirm the video; Viral's video is glitchy, but sound is fine, and Youtube itself completely. Good catch!
Also, I retract my previous statement: Location does NOT work.
Double posting for more coverage; Sorry if it's counter culture here.
More Observations
The Expanded desktop is currently kinda broken; It hides the actual navigation bar well enough, but certain parts of the interface still think it is there; For instance, when attempting to place icons on the dock in say NOVA Launcher, the window to place them is insanely small; The display recognizes that the nav bar is gone, but the other recognition stuff isn't functioning. (Other symptoms: The colorization for the Status Bar in Landscape mode goes to fully transparent where the Navigation bar would be; When brought down, the notification tray only goes down to where the navigation bar would be).
Adblock Plus is broken and can't request root; Now, to be fair, this isn't actually the ROM's fault directly, but is caused by the fact that Adblock Plus doesn't list super user request in it's manifest, so SuperUser denies it without giving you the prompt. Or at least that's what I figure the problem is. Adblock Plus needs to fix that.
And then I remembered ART was a thing and decided to Enable it, so the rest of this will be my comments on how ART functions so far.
First thing I notice is that it takes a long time to load up; As expected when you know what ART is, but still, worth pointing out; Don't be surprised when the CyanogenMod logo stays on a bit longer than it feels like it should or that it takes a while to build the apps.
I'm not sure if this is placebo or what, but everything feels... zippy with ART enabled. Like the whole thing kinda just zips along, except for the installing of apps, which takes a bit longer than normal (Though not perceptible for smaller apps).
So... yeah, it works pretty well, mostly. It definitely needs improvement, but for an experimental first build? VERY successful.
One final observation: Bluetooth seems a little wonky and won't seem to stay connected. It connects, but after a little bit just disconnects. I'll investigate this more later.
EDIT: Another observation: The navigation bar doesn't auto rotate correctly, and this relates to why the status bar's coloration messes up. No matter the rotation of the phone, the navigation bar will come from the "Right" side of it in landscape, and the "Bottom" in portrait.
How can I edit my WIFI MAC Address in CM11 ?

Android Auto compatibility?

Has someone with a Mate 10 tried to run Android Auto? I'm still rocking a Mate 8, still a very good phone but with one major annoyance : not working with Android Auto. Very eager to find out if this issue has been resolved.

Actually..... was fine yesterday but I have had a few weird issues today (have only had the device 72hrs)
- Lost music playback during a drive this morning.. can still hear nav instructions and phone calls etc, just silence during what appears to be playing music.
- The map screen has shrunk.. its like a totally different dpi to the other screens and appears fairly high res. Good because of the extra screen estate, but is now difficult to read text.
I'm going to try again tomorrow and will reset the head-unit and reinstall AA if it continues.
There is also a fair bit of complaints going on at the google product forums so maybe Oreo still needs some bugs worked out ?

It's strange. Sony XAV AX-100 & Mate 10 ALP-L29 .115
I find if I'm connected to the headunit first via BT and streaming music, it is fine. GPS directions and calls etc work as expected.
If I plug in via USB and let Android Auto takeover the headunit, it will continue only playing the one currently playing song, and the all other music is unable to play. I still get audio for directions & calls though.
What I think is happening, is Android Auto is trying to play music via USB connection and disables the "media" part of the BT paring.
For whatever reason, Google Play music doesn't come through via USB.
After a bit of research it appears this is a widespread problem with multiple devices after a recent AA & Google Play music update.. so I'm hesitant to blame Huawei here.
My current workaround is simply to use Android Auto on the phone and paired via BT for audio, rather than plugged in via USB.
Very very annoying, and hopefully fixed soon. Google seem to be dropping the ball A LOT lately
Very strange indeed...hope these bugs get ironed out soon. One of the main reasons to upgrade is to have AA working on my head unit so I guess I'll just wait until this works like it should.

Just a quick fyi.. I have cancelled my Google Play Music and switched over to Spotify instead, which is working great and I have no other issues while plugged in via USB
I still get the higher dpi on the maps screen, and am finding it's actually preferable now I've used it for a few days.
Another small fyi for those experiencing issues, after a whole bunch of testing it appears the 'Smart Display" resolution setting is casusing the Nav Maps screen to be distorted, and the On-Call Phone screen to be hidden.
Locking resolution to HD / 720 will allow Maps and Phone screens to function as expected.
Still haven't figured out the GPM no-audio bug even after yesterdays playstore update.
I'm having issues on my mate 8 NXT-AL10.
Navigating - Works on fresh install of Android Auto, but then with Waze installed, next time I get in the car and go to navigation the system freezes, goes black, and then returns to the home screen. This has gone on far too long, and this is also my 2nd and last Huawei phone. Unimpressed.
Music/Audio - Every app I go on within android auto (on my head unit) is giving the "Google play music doesn't seem to be working right now" or insert other app name. It's mightily frustrating.
I've found workarounds for both but they're by no means fullproof.
1) Using Nova Launcher seems to keep Waze working for longer without having to reinstall the android auto app.
2) Apparently clearing the cache of your apps can help solve the audio issues, as well as restarting Bluetooth.
Google/Huawei really need to get their act together on this. It's really frustrating to spend so much money on a phone and a new car only to find out the systems you bought them for don't work.
---------- Post added at 01:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 AM ----------
Oh, and also, when typing - for inserting a destination into a navigation app on Huawei, I've found there's no space-bar.
The only workaround so far I've found is type it natively on app in phone, save the destination as a favourite, and access it on android auto from the favourites list. Again, small, but painful.
You going to hate android auto belive me.

I upgrade my Oneplus 3 to Mate 10 and having the same Google Map resolution too high problem.
I turn off Smart Display and lock the resolution to HD (720p) as instructed from this post, the navigation of android auto back to normal but the quality of the screen of the Mate 10 itself look like a budget phone.
I will try to update the firmware of my SONY XAV-AX100 if it would help.
Oh great. I really wish i found this thread before pulling the trigger on a Sony XAV-AX100 I expect it to arrive sometime next week but it wont be installed in my car until the new year sometime. Nonetheless, I will try some basic tests with Android Auto and report my findings. These tests won't involve sound though. No speakers laying around to connect to the headunit. I have a Mate 10 Pro, firmware 8.0.0.125
Updating the firmware of the XAV-AX100 unit does not help. I think it is the problem of Huawei Firmware. I hope they can fix the problem soon.
I just bought my Mate 10 last week. Finally got a chance to use AA, and after reading all the helpful information from this thread, I changed my phone resolution down to HD (low). I have a brand new car and brand new expensive flagship phone, and now you are telling me Huawei doesn't work well with AA. I really dont want to use an expensive phone with HD low resolution.

I think we have to wait for the firmware update of the phone instead of the firmware of head unit. I am current running 8.0.0.119(C636) (which have the AA bugs) and hope that the new 8.0.0.128(C636) I found in Firmware Finder will have the problem fixed. However, the new firmware is not authorise to install on my mate 10 yet.

Sorry for bringing this topic again, but these are exactly my problem and exactly my thoughts.
I have a Mate 9 Pro with Oreo beta and even when I don't have problems with maps or screen, I can only hear 1 song and then the audio stops working, and even when I unplugged the phone, the device remains with no audio at all until I reboot the device.
I tried to test with a P10 Lite, but the car is not even recognizing it.
I will try today with an Android Stock device to see if I get better results.

Do you get correct resolution on your car screen with AA? I can get correct resolution by using HD 1280 x 720 only, which is low resolution.
I tried to use Quick Shortcut Maker to create a shortcut so everytime I need to use GPS, I will toggle it on. However, Quick Shortcut Maker doesn't work on my Mate 10, and I dont' see any new shortcut created on my home screen.
I tried Nova Launcher, again, no hope. Nova Launcher tells me "Permission Denial" when I created the shortcut for "Screen Resolution". Also, after insatlled Nova, my Torch (flashlight) no longer working anymore.
I am thinking to return this crappy mate 10, it's not worth it to spend so much time to do research on all these bugs for Huawei software engineer....

Ok. I have received the Sony head unit and had it installed on friday night and...........
I am having similar experiences to Snachez with some exceptions.
No sound in Google Play Music. Which I am very pissed off with. Sure, I could cancel Google Music, but I have a family account with multiple users. So that's not really an option. I have no choice but to take up a Spotify subscription as well as GPM. I truly believe this is an issue with the GPM app or AA and is not Huawei's fault. Goddamn you Google. (EDIT: Just scored 3 months of Spotify for $0.99. If Google can get there **** sorted by the end of March with the Music app, it won't be so bad)
Maps are fine. don't matter what resolution i run the phone at. Sadly this is probably the only part of AA that has worked as expected.
Phone call information does not display on my headunit. at all. I have a dialer / contacts info but that's it. It doesn't matter if i switch the phone between 720 or 1080p. phone call info does NOT come up on the headunit. Do i have to reboot the phone between resolution switches? Because I didn't try that.

Saying I hate it would be a bit strong. More unimpressed than anything else. Unless I need to use Google Maps, or charge my phone. This headunit is going to spend more time in BT Audio mode than AA
I have got phone functionality (call info, etc) to work in AA. But to do so I have to force close the Huawei dialler each and every single time before connecting the phone to the headunit.
[email protected] me, what an absolute pain in the arse. How did Google and/or Huawei not notice this???
On the upside though, it works when the phone's resolution is set to 1080p. what a relief because changing it to 720p everytime i want to use AA would just suck.
To all the folks that say phone / maps doin't work properly in 1080p. have you tried enabling Developer Options in AA and experimenting with some of the settings?
