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).
Hey all. The recent Youtube Android update 2.2.16 and the one right before it pretty much screwed up my Youtube viewing for my vids. Vids load really slowly and/or they end up causing a Force Close for no reason. App doesn't follow my screen orientation either; I turn off the accelerometer and use the hardware keyboard flip to switch orientation at will.
Anyone have the apk for the Youtube app prior to the 2.2.x update? I completely forgot what the version number was for the app before this - but the last two updates were just pushed out via the Android Market in the past week - so I need the version of the Youtube app apk before that.
Your help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I got the same slowliness on my Viewsonic G Tablet running BC 1.3 with Youtube 2.2.16 and some vids (one labled HD) doesn't run (sometime hear sound but no pic)
So I went to the market bring up the Youtube app. It shows open / uninstall.
I select uninstall and it put back the previous version 2.1.6 which was the working one.
if not mistaken the version that you want is 2.2.14
try google it and download the apk and transfer it and install
hope it helps
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'm not rooted. Can the flash apk be gotten somewhere other than android market? I couldn't find it on amazon market but I'll keep looking elsewhere.

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.

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, first of all sorry if this post is hidden somewhere but since i upgraded my tf201 to ice cream sandwish igot this problem : I can't play megavideo videos in fullscreen it just lead to a white page, on stock browser video works but after 5-10 mins the browser shutdown im kinda out of ideas. I tried uninstalling flash, dolphin browser hd, reinstalling both and tried iphone,ipad,android and desktop mode everytime with same result video hang then whitescreen gotta restart browser. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Anyone had this problem???
Have you tried with the Flash update that came out today for compatibility with ICS?
Is it a different version than the one from market? I just uninstall/reinstall flash and dolphin hd tonight from market thx for reply
So nobody got this problem since ics??
Try using a 3rd party app such as Mobo or Rockplayer. If that doesn't work try a factory reset. Also ask Jerdog to move this to Q&A as this is a question.
I am also having this problem on my tp running ics dolphin and adobe. everything is up to date and says that it will fix the problem, but it does not. it happens on random videos, some work in full screen and some white screen. I think it has something to do with the flash player because I did not have the problem until i installed adobe (it was needed to play some videos that are now white screening). Videos work fine until they go fullscreen. My stock browser works fine and rarely crashes. I just like dolphins ui the best.
Any fixes found?
I am also having this issue, have tried 10 browsers, it is happening in all of them when you try to play embedded video and full screen videos. Frustrating as hell. I am sure an update is coming that will fix it.
No Problems Here...
My TFP is working flawlessly since ICS, the HD video play pretty well without any lag. I have a bunch of them... try a clearing the data from the app.
You know, you should give us some kind of link or example so we can try some specific thing ourselves instead of just asking whether "videos" work for us or not.

Right, for example give use the Hd Video type you are trying to play...
It happens to me. Here's an example: if I'm at a page that has flash video, I will start seeing the video, hit the button for full screen, and the whole screen turns white, the video does not play.

thanks alot for all you're answers, i tryed a system restore yesterday with no success i already tried to push back and retry fullscreen didnt work as for the 3rd party i'll try that tonight same goes for the link ill post it tonight since im actually at work. Anyway the videos i tried was from animefreak website i tried using a different mirror (different player than megavideo) with same result. Ill keep you updated, thanks
Hitting back does nothing as the prime will freeze on a white screen. App must be rebooted to function properly.
I have seen this problem on pc due to the hardware acceleration option, i wonder if that might have something to do with it. Although it would be weird to have hardware acceleration on a flash player meant for a tablet. I tried to mess with the player settings but found nothing that would help.
Although the stock browsers is not so fun it seems to work so I would just use it until the issue is fixed.

I am just watching streaming on the default browser now
Waiting for adobe or dolphin to fix
im doing the same as susko using the default browser even if it crashes randomly when im watching videos. thanks alot for you replys every1
EDIT : btw, 3rd party softwares were just for local video, couldnt find how to open an url with them. Tryed megaplayer software but havent managed to make it work thanks
I have the same probleme yesterday. But i have an fix that works for me.
1. First deinstall over Apps the Flash Player.
2. Then install the flashplayer 11 over the market!!!
This is important because, if you open the browser without flash it ask you to install flash and with this package it doesn't work. I dont know why, but only the package in the Market work with fullscreen flashvideos!
I hope i can help you
EDIT:
It work for the first time, after it shown the with screen you describe
EDIT2:
It works, but only in the AndroiBrowser! In the other Browser only a white screen is shown.
Curious about some of these since most of them don't seem to be documented on the main thread, so I'm not sure if it's something on my end or something not working with the ROM. Any workaround suggestions would be appreciated.
--Built-in video camera app doesn't work (documented).
--Video playback doesn't work correctly. Audio is fine, video lags. Eventually audio stops to resync with laggy video. Happens with video files recorded before installing the ROM, which used to play fine on stock GB, as well as tested with video files dumped from my PC. Tried Gallery's player, MX player, and Rock player.
--Chrome crashes frequently (most notably when hitting the tabs button).
--Twitch.tv app plays audio with a black screen (youtube and other things work fine).
--Hardware buttons don't light up.
--Voice Search doesn't work.
--Google Books crashes immediately (documented). (seems to be fixed as of 8-23B)
--Live wallpapers don't work (black background). (seems this magically fixed itself without any updates or workarounds)
--Battery % seems to act weird above 90%, lately it's been stopping charging at 95% (or so it says), and the battery info on the lock screen says "Charged" rather than "Charging" at 95%. Reboot, battery pull, wipe batt stats, re-flash ROM, etc. didn't fix. This didn't happen for the first few days after initial install. (seems to be an Atrix problem with 4.0+ rather than a ROM specific problem)
Edit: 8-23-12B
Live Wallpapers working just fine here on latest 0815

Uh... Try searching.
Video camera does work on some apps, hardware buttons light up when you select "auto-brightness," Voice search works when you install the appropriate offline voice file, and battery % can be fixed with ravilov's battery app.

It works. Like anything else, you need to sign off/sign in to the service for it to recognize it again. Need to do that every time you flash a rom.

That doesn't work. I have logged in and out on phone and computer, I have installed fresh, I have tried clearing data, and reistalling with data from titanium. Any other ideas? I tried everything I can think of. And I can use the phone to chrome fine just not the chrome to phone...
Most things are running very well. I've tried about a half a dozen roms over the past week or so. One of the only problems I've found is issues with google now. It wont speak back to me, it's just shows the google results. Even on basic questions that it usually would speak an answer back to you, like scores of a baseball game or something like that. But that's not a big problem for me. Also, there's some issues with Chrome and some other browsers. Some browsers work better than others. To my surprise, I'm having the best luck with Firefox Beta and Boat Browser.

Google Voice Crashes
Great ROM. Thanks, epinter.
I'm getting regular messages for Google Voice stopping. I'm running the gapps v3 and the 2012-080-25 ROM but I was also getting the Google Voice crashes in 2012-08-23B.
I upgraded from CM9 without a user wipe (I did wipe cache) and went straight to gapps v3. Other than the Google Voice FCs, everything is running great. I haven't read about anyone else having this problem. Is it just me?
Much appreciated.

Update: I incorrectly assumed that Google Voice was part of the gapps package. A quick uninstall and reinstall of Google Voice through Play did the trick.
Now this ROM is running like butter!
