The day the announced the portrait oriented flagship, YouTube got an update to correspond with it, and it killed landscape pretty much. The app on the Flyer looks just as it does on my phone now! My roommate with his gtab2 was complaining about it too. Google if its not broke don't fix it!
Just a pain now. If you want to keep watching videos you gotta constantly rotate it.

Update makes no sense really because apps on the nexus are still in tablet mode, and still support landscape

That's why Google is an advertising company, not a software company.
Yeah and to be fair, it never made much sense that you had to flip the phone into portrait to view other videos either, after all landscape always puts the aspect ratio closer to 16:9 which is what you want when you watch a video anyway, and you can't go fullscreen in portrait, so what is the point exactly?
Yep this about sums it up. Instead of the nice dual pane mode you got on tablets before after your done watching a video, here's what you get. Argh I want to go back to the older version.
I pulled the apk out of one of the custom roms I had on my PC, and reinstalled it. Its going to tell me I need an update forever but screw it, the old tablet look wasn't broken, no need to fix it.
Any chance on sharing the apk? :angel:
Edit:
never mind, removed all updates for YT
Here you go, it should be a straight install, shouldn't require root or anything, just double click and follow the instructions
EDIT I see you fixed yours, but I'll leave this up here for anyone who wants the old layout back.

Just got back from BB.
No pen in the box... but they did have them for purchase separately. $79.99
The box has the Best Buy logo directly printed on it.

I got mine today as well.
It is much faster than I imagined, and even performs better than in the video walkthroughs I have seen online. A great selection of applications was included (this is my first Android device outside a Nook Color).
It felt heavy at first, but I played with it for 2-hours straight and never got tired from holding it. Definitely easier to hold than an iPad (I owned one).
HTC Watch is up an running, although no sign of OnLive... yet. I hope it comes.
Besides the pen, no case or sleeve was included either. I would have liked the case to be included at least. Like it wasn't bad enough I had to buy the pen!
I haven't even opened the pen yet, as I am enjoying using the tablet without it.
The screen is almost TOO bright, even at the lowest setting. In a mildly lit room, it can be blinding.
It came 50% charged and I have been using it for around 2.5-hours and just hit 15%, although I was hammering it pretty hard, testing everything out, and syncing all my emails, contacts, calendars, and music.
More to come...
Can anyone with a pen take a screenshot or PNG of your most normal note taking? Like how you would write on it in say a meeting or class.
It would be greatly appreciated.

I'd like to root for tools like titanium backup, and to kill the cell standby process eating up my battery. I could be wrong, but I don't think rooting will affect the 3.1 update.
Just walked out of Best Buy with my new Flyer. Played with the demo unit and stylus, and I was VERY impressed at my ability to take legible notes and mark up documents. I have a week of vendor demos coming up at work, and I will put this thing through its paces marking up their white papers electronically. The Flyer is going to be a keeper!
I am really impressed with.mine.

Loving mine as well
Google Music Beta works well BTW, especially handy as Pandora isn't really optimized for this screen size/resolution.
Got mine as well. Nice device, but the camera quality is terrible.
Got mine today, unfortunately it's got a stuck pixel Trying to decide if I should just suck it up and keep it, or trek back out for a return. I really like the device.
I purchased one today. Overall I am pretty pleased with it so far. I am looking forward to the Honeycomb update. I bought a pen too but not sure how much I will actually use it.
Can someone go to abc.com and see if full episodes play smoothly. I want something that can play flash videos well and I know this is a good site to test.
Thanks
just got mine today from a contest I won and I have to say I am very surprised at how fast it boots and how well the pen responds to writing.
It has both an unlocked bootloader and access to recovery so I hope that it gets rooted soon.
I don't know if I should return the Acer Iconia Tab I just bought or keep both. One for notes when I am at school and the other for leisure/trips

Does anyone have the Sprint TV apk from the 3VO? It's SO much better than the one on the Evo 4G.
I know, most of you will say with Netflix, Hulu hacks, torrent downloaders, etc, why the hell would you want Sprint TV, but I love sprint TV. ESPN mobile has a lot of live sporting events, like Wimbledon, and World Cup Soccer. Plus you can get a lot of the shows from major networks.
Anyway, I realize it probably won't function on the Evo 4G, but I wanted to take a crack at it anyway.
Thanks to anyone that can post it. PM me if you throw it up here.

This was a good start. It installed just fine, but when I try to start the app, it says an update is available.
I pulled Sprint_InstallerNC_v2_1_0.apk from the system dump for the 3vo, and installed that. That would let me download the update, but I get an error when it tries to install the update.
Any chance you have updated Sprint TV on your 3vo already, and if so, what would be the possibility of pulling the updated APK off? Thanks again!
So where do we go to complain that sprint tv (among other apps) wont allow rotating so the charger is on the TOP of the phone instead of the bottom??

The app won't show in the market so you'll have to sideload it but SPB shell 3d now has a tablet mode. It's basically landscape mode and it uses higher res graphics instead of stretching it out.
I've been using it all day.. works pretty nicely. The auto orientation is a bit slow and sometimes buggy so I've kept it on landscape only. Your mileage may vary.
How did you side load? I own and use my HTC Evo.

You can download from FAQ on their website. It looks like an older version though. I'm not sure where to get the "tab" version. If there is an APK, can someone post it. It requires a serial once started, so should be fine.

Found it on FAQ. Looks great behind activate screen. Unfortumately i don't have access to my serial number and my email address used is no longer active. Im waiting on a response from spb for the serial number. Found the google receipt, but no serial number. I could almost buy it from handmark again just tl instantly get a serial number to lay with this.
I was really hoping their tablet version would come out soon. I think if you can combine the touchwiz functions with the SPB workflow, itll make the GT10.1 a home run.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
screenies please i would love to see what it looks like landscape...
Got my serial number. Man i love this thanks mr bomb for alerting me to this. I loved this app when i had a winmo 6 htc diamond and then on my htc evo 4g. I saw the demo for tablets a while ago and been drueling ever since.
I almost have my screens built and laid out. Id be happy to post pics but don't know how on non rooted stock rom. Maybe the TW ROM will be out next week and can use its built in function.
But i assure you folks this is the best home screen replacement. It has lots of wonderful and useful widgets included. You can also infinitely add or remove home panels.
Has anyone figured out if you can dock more than just the 1 icon in lower left as well as the app drawer? In the smartphone installaton/mode you can have 4 plus the 2D home to 3D home soft button. It would be awesome to have this on the tablet. I would easily uninstall ADW. Also has anyone tried setting as default home amd seeing if it sticks? My default home setting never sticks. I set it and then get pompted for it again.
Lastly, I had a bad experience when trying the VLT app on my Asus Transformer. I set as default and then it would not boot up. I had to return it. i definitely domt want a repeat. Lol

One word of caution... don't enable live wallpaper is you're running this. I tried a few times and every time I had to uninstall SPB to get it to load up again. Other than that it worked great. I just wish it was more full screen instead of the multiple panes.

No you don't get serial number via Android Market. You have to buy from their site a 2nd time to get a S/N. I Google's for a discount code and got a 20% discount.

See I have something odd. I have done live and static wallpaper and it didn't screw it up. I kept getting watch dog alerts on Android Core (home.) But nothing bad. All of a sudden today, I got to work and put it on my media dock and every app popped up with force closure. Then I got a pop up that looked like the SPB font and said my installation could no longer be authenticated. SPB dropped to my Honeycomb Launcher. Now my wifi at work requires a browser to sign in, and i had not done it yet. SPB will not startup. I uninstalled/reinstalled, cleared cache, etc. It just won't start up.
I passed on to their support. But I appear to be stuck and unable to use it at all. it makes me very sad. It really made my weekend to setup and use SPB Shell. But it is all gone now. If I do get it working again, ill have to start over again.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
The way I got it installed is this...
Installed on my phone. Used root explorer to copy the apk from system/app to the root of my sd card. Then I uploaded it to my dropbox account and downloaded it on my tablet. Worked like a charm. I'm assuming this is because it was authenticated already with my SN when I installed it on my phone? Or maybe because my tablet is signed into my gmail account.
Awe.... gotcha. Where is it on the phone? I'm not rooted on my Evo 4G or Grab. So may not be able to do what you did?

It's in the system/app folder I believe. You need to be rooted to copy it out of there.
Can someone post screenshots for those of us who haven't installed yet?
Awe. I'm am going from an Evo 4G to Nexus S 4G this week. So I am probably not gonna risk rooting and bricking my phone. It would bring down the already low resell value on eBay. Lol
Maybe SPB will be kind enough to respond to my issues, even if they are not supporting it yet on tablets. It will hopefully be worth their time learning how to address it and advance their timeline for full release.
Maybe after I get my nexus and install it there, I can root and find it if SPB decides to not help. It will install but nothing happens now when i press home and select SPB. I get the SPB Mobile Shell 3D is starting with the circle going round and round .... but not even the serial box pops up. I do notice that it accumulates 1.07mb of data during this process. Ill clear the cache and same result each time. Its like something completely obliterated every app, but permanently for SPB when i sat the tab on the media dock today.

I am looking to be able to access the cameras on my phones from another android phone or computer. Lets say one gets stolen (I have 3, an evo 4g, an evo 3d, and and epic 4g) I want to be able not to only track them but also access them from another device or computer and see what the people are doing on it or at least be able to access the front and rear cameras with out their knowledge and be able to snap pics from the camera. Not sure if that makes much sense it does in my head and I would really like to know how. I am sure it can be done over wifi or tethered but I won't be either of those. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Look up app called "android lost". It once u activate it from web site it will ask user of stolen phone to enter a passcode. Every time they do it takes a picture of them. I believe it also takes pictures every few minutes and gives u GPS, address location, and let u turn on microphone and view outgoing and incoming calls and texts. Bad ass program. And the best part of it all its free
Use the app "webkey" you can do everything you want to your phone from a computer

I think the app "gotcha" has similar features... you can also use it for surveillance if you suspect that someone is using your phone when you are not looking.
Androidlost is pretty awesome. You access its functions from a web browser, and you can have it use both the front facing and back cameras to take pictures. That being said, it would be nice if there was a dedicated app that did this. Real-time video would be an awesome addition too. It'll be like your lil'personal security camera.

Could u imagine putting this on ur kids phones or ur spouses phone. I'm sure people take advantage of it that way
As mentioned previously there are already several apps that do this. Obviously it isn't always going to be tractable, because the phone has to be on, have GPS signal (or at very least a connection to three towers) to get a small enough radius of its position. It would need either wifi or a 3G connection. Realistically for live video it will need a good, stable 4g connection (unless you are satisfied with a low resolution, low frame rate video feed). It needs to also use as little resources as possible, and be somewhat hidden so it doesn't make someone suspicious or find it to turn it off, or kill the task or service.
It is a great tool to have if your phone is stolen for sure. I'm not sure that it would be really useful though in the event that your phone is stolen, not lost. I don't know about other people but I am thinking if my phone was stolen the first thing I would do is have my account suspended. I would be worried because people can use your phone bill to buy things, and call some phone whores at 800 an hour.
I am pretty sure I read one of those apps have the ability to format your data so it isn't stolen too. The other function I might want to count on, is the ability for the app to lock the phone down. Make it impossible to unlock the device, at all, or maybe with a password. Of course the last important feature would be to have all this start even after reboot and battery pull.
I can imagine this being used maliciously by some people. Anyway, that is my two cents on the matter.
I remember seeing something with somewhat the same function. When lost, you go to the website, lock it, it shows gps location, and takes a pic using front camera if possible. Don't remember the app right now...

Bought an HTC One today. The camera appears to be defective. It has trouble focusing and is always blurry on the top right-hand side quadrant of the photo.
Since I'm pre-paid and bought from an individual, should I go to T-Mobile for a warranty replacement or direct to HTC? Obviously it's under warranty since it hasn't been out for over a year.
I know AT&T were jerks about warranty claims if you didn't purchase direct from them but don't know about T-Mobile.

The phone is definitely outside the 14 day window and I'm not the original owner. Guess I'll go to HTC and play that game.
The physical hardware is clearly under warranty, so hopefully they don't give me the runaround.
Before returning try changing the video resolution from super hd to hd and see if that fixes it. Then you should be able to switch it back and it should work fine. It doesn't just fix the video camera but the still camera as well.

Now you tell me. I boxed it up and shipped back today.
Here is what the average photo looked like. Just terrible. Tried a hard reset, reset the camera settings, etc. Nothing worked. I think it's just plain defective.
Night photos are grain city too. Nothing good about it at all. FYI, I had and sold an HTC One (regretted it, bought another) and the photos were fantastic. This one is just a dud (hence why the seller only asked $450 cash - now I see why).
HTC support asked me if I wiped the lens with a lint free cloth. WTF do you think, lol?
Tap to focus just didn't work. In fact, nothing worked. Every photo is terrible. I really hope HTC support doesn't give me the run around.
(my backyard - yes we have two dogs and yes their pee kills the grass, but they are worth it)
Yeah that's about what mine looked like before. I had just written HTC to find out what I needed to do the replace it. This was literally just last night. I was up late about to flash the 1.29 Rom to see if that fixed it. I looked through the settings to see if there was a way to change the auto focus settings which there only is for video. I changed the resolution setting just to see if it might help and it completely fixed it. Not sure why but it seems like it was "stuck". It may or may not have been the same as your issue but sounds like it was. Whatever though, you get a new one so it all works out.

Anyone know how fast HTC repairs/replaces and ships back? They will receive the phone today and I'm hopeful to receive it back by this weekend. Realistic?
Well, just got the phone back. Slow ground shipping!
Aaaand HTC did absolutely nothing to the phone. The pictures are all still blurry. Infuriated right now. Two weeks and they did absolutely nothing, just shipped it right back to me with no notes, no repair, nothing.
Called up HTC. Of course they have "no notes" as to what was done to the phone. Here's a tip: nothing was done.
The "escalations team" was closed so they told me to call back tomorrow.
Just so I'm not crazy, is this considered a normal "ultrapixel" photo from this phone? I just took it. Basically, the tap to focus does absolutely nothing. I'm about to unload this junk to someone else and make it their problem. I can't go a full month without a working phone as my only option is to send it in again and have the HTC techs go "yep, looks good from here" and send it right back to me again. Just replace your defective hardware guys. Not hard.
It would'nt hurt to try
The worst they would say is no. Ive heard story's of people getting replacements from t mobile in your situation, if it was a manufacturers defect. I would just go into a store and be totally polite friendly with the rep and show that your completely bummed out about your new phone not working the way it should. From my experience, kindness can go a long ways with t mobile.
