Hey guys recently I upgraded to the KIII model of 905 android box. I've had success in getting apps like xfinity TV (latest) and Directv app to work. These apps are all great but I prefer the NBC Sports app as it looks and feels better to use, the problem is that after selecting a stream it shows the loading screen then kicks me from the app to the android home screen. I have tried looking into it and can not seem to find the problem, I've tried this on wireless and wired. Vpn running and dns to rule out anything. I've ran apps like xprivacy and receiverstop along with rootcloak but without success. Would anyone know of a reason it kicks me from the app? I have tried different versions of the app also. Older and newer. The app used to work on my old M8 box but that has died now. I would greatly appreciate some input or even a reply from someone who knows what the problem could be, Thanks alot guys.

Anyone else getting large numbers of apps (esp games) not showing as compatible in market?
e.g. ADW EX, Cut the Rope.
At first I thought it was just me, but I had a chat with another XDA member, who sent me a screenshot of the android market saying his tablet S was compatible with ADW. On mine, its clearly greyed out. So I'm thinking there's something wrong with my tablet or google account?
Any hints appreciated
Hello,
Just because you mentioned about cut the rope game, i installed it and it plays OK (sony s 16gb).
Chris
sh-t that confirms it. Theres something wrong with my market account.
I've written to several app devs and they all say their app is marked compatible.
The two 'test' cases I'm using is cut the rope and ADW EX. Both are greyed out in web market, and just do not appear in tablet market.
I've tried clearing the cache and force stopping, no dice.
Anybody seen this before?
I just looked at market to see if I could find "cut the rope" and it shows up, and is compatible with my sony tablet s. It shows on my tablet market as well.
ADW EX also shows up here. no problems with them what so ever. I got the sgpt111us/s model.
There are a lot of Gameloft games that you have to sideload. And Gameloft does not bother to answer their support emails.
I had to side load the tivo application from my rooted OG to my tablet, but it works fine. Someday I will buy a premier so i can actually use it though!
Hello
I have this problem too.
I asked Sony support (Russia) about this problem.
They said that I could:
1. Clear market cache. It doesn't work.
2. Clear data. It doesn't work.
3. Delete update for market. It doesn't work.
4. update information about tablet from web android market. Here I have question :how could I do this?
I suspect its something to do with regions and region locking for certain apps, tablets and user accounts.
e.g. I am accessing market from Hong Kong location, but I'm normally based in Australia, and my google account/credit card etc. is all Aussie. I'll wait to see what happens when I get back to australia.
If there are region restrictions based on app, user account etc. IT SHOULD BE MADE CLEAR. google support fail (again....) its enough to make you consider a fricking fruit machine some times

it's good information to know and very helpful, albeit discouraging
Is anyone else facing problems while using the Comixology, DC Comics and Marvel comics apps after upgrading to ICS.
I have US version of the tablet with non rooted ICS.
Ever since the ICS update, I am unable to login to my comixology, DC Comics and Marvel comics account. Even after uninstall/reinstall..........multiple password resets, I am unable to log in. However I can log in from the browser of the tablet itself to the comixology web site using same credentials.
Is any one else facing similar problems with the app?? And is there a way to resolve it?
I've only used Marvel app since the update but have not had any problems with it. I just checked Comixology app and it worked fine and even said I had a couple updates on downloaded comics.
Are you using the standard ICS or a rooted ICS?
Standard ICS. Non Rooted. I have US version of the tablet.
I have been working with the customer support but they really seem clueless as of now. Even the feedback button in the app is unable to work.
I tried by creating a new id as well......that didnt work either.
So seems like some kind of setting is screwed up but I dont know which.
I saw the same problem being reported in the app rating and reviews of play store.................where users seem to be facing similar problems.
Any idea what may be wrong??
I haven't used it for a while, so I went to go re-download it from the store and it crashed my Play Store app twice, then said it was an invalid package when I tried to install it. Weird.
Fourth time was the charm, and when I finally got it loaded up I didn't have any problems logging into my account.
Did you try going to Settings > Apps > All > DC Comics, and then clearing the data and cache for the application? Might have something leftover from a previous install that got corrupted.
Still not working for me.
Tried install/uninstall/clear data/clear cache several times.
This happens for Comixology, DC Comics and Marvel Comics app.
I even tried creating new user ids and same problem was still encountered.
The support team sent me an email saying they are still looking into the issue but I believe right now they are pretty clueless.
All other apps like Zinio, Time etc are all working fine. So definitely is a problem with one of the version updates that the Comixology app received due to which some setting is causing the app to behave in this fashion on my tablet.
Forgive me if this question has already been asked...ran a search of the forums and found nothing so...
Does anyone know why with a rooted NT (not running another ROM yet) I can not watch programs online through TNT website as well as TNT Android app available on Google Play? The browser will go to the site but fails to load any full episodes. I side loaded the app hoping it would work even though play store said it would not...hoping if I fiddled with changing my screen resolution it would work (using LCD app). In the TNT app it plays the ad before the program just fine, then plays about 8 seconds of the actual episode before I get a message saying my device is not compatible. I checked permissions and the only thing I can see that might be causing this is the setting for the display in the .xml file.
Anyone know what to do? I like watching Falling Skies episodes but can't on my NT. Oddly, I am running an old version if the HBOgo app without any problems. Perhaps the TNT app requires Ice Cream Sandwich? No specs to say on app page or webpage.
Any help would be appreciated!
Hello,
I have had a problem with Youtube saying "Connection to server lost." I have found other sites (including this one) explaining a lot of fixes and workarounds, but nothing is working. It's not just over WiFi that the problem exists as I can be on the mobile network and it will still give the error. I have gone so far as uninstalling the updates, and it will work with what came with the phone, but once it updates it no longer works. I don't have any apps that would create a proxy such as Adblock, so I know it's not a redirect problem either. Anyone having similar issues with their Padfone X, or even know of some sort of weird trick that maybe I am missing?

I am also having the same problem
After uninstalling the updates, have you tried disabling Youtube's auto-update option in Playstore?

I guess I could do that, but it is just a bandaid to a problem. I am sure there is a reason the updates don't work, or a solution could be found. If anyone was to know, I was hoping it could be shared so everyone can know what's going on.
Common problem. The only solution, despite many threads about changing your DNS server and other solutions, is to uninstall all the updates and turn off auto-update.
If you're like me and hit Update All for the 384,763 apps that need updates every so often, use the Detach from Market option in Titanium Backup to take it off the list temporarily. Note that it doesn't stay detached from the Market for more than a brief while.
I'm having the same issue with my padfone x.
So like same prob here but it wont even work with old youtube.

I rooted my Asus Padfone X and uninstalled youtube to download a cracked version so I could download vids the crack didnt work so I found one online that worked. After a while it auto updated so i tried the update wouldnt work. Then uninstalled and installed old again. Two months later it auto update new update worked for 4 hours now nothing will work not even 2.5.1
Uninstall all updates to the app. The stock app should work fine. I had to take it back to the base with no update and leave it there for months, then a recent update made it work again for me.

none of that fixed mine. Even the stock app. mine is running kitkat 4.4.2. I ended up downloading a youtube player from the amazon app store. The only functionality i lost is chromecast support and remote player control. I can live with that. Note that i tried vtube and that one had the same connection problem.
Same here. Nothing worked for me so I deleted the app. YouTube via the browser works as it should.

So I just installed the 3.2 Update for my shield. The Vudu app comes pre-installed. There us already an update for the app in the playstore. But Vudu won't let me play any of my movies in UHD. It shows me that I own the UHD version, but HDX is the biggest resolution it will let me play it in. Anyone able to get UHD to work?

Just came across this Q. You (obviously) need a 4K display (in 4K mode), and need HDCP 2.2 full chain from tv->shield. Missing either of those, it won't show you UHD.

I have both of these. I can view 4k content on all the other apps, but Vudu. Vudu will say that I own the movie in UHD, but HDX is the highest res available. Do you have the Vudu app on your Shield?

Does anyone has the issue it only opens commercials but closes down when trying to play a movie? Is it because of the root, or? ....

I wish I could try the app, however I'm based in Europe and VUDU wants me to have US issued credit card to be registered.
Does anyone know how to overcome this?

There's sites that can generate fake cc and addresses. They're truly fake so you're not ripping anyone off.
Quick Google should reveal them.
Then you can add whatever UV codes in your preferred UK UV partner and a few minutes later the available in vudu.
Where'd you get the apk from? I have the account but find on my UK shield even after spoofing location to California and using an enabler proxy - which works on the tablet version on my Nexus 7

Installed but uninstalls itself between reboots
Hi
so I found out how to get it running with IP mask, location spoof and registration from the app (for some reason 'existing user' wouldn't work)
sideloading the apk then reveals the included app. But frustratingly when rebooted the sideloaded apk disappears and vudu becomes unavailable again. a reinstall fixes it but anyone know how to either stop shield uninstalling or to create a new apk from the original that the shield would accept as a standalone apk?
Thanks
looking forward for more
I'm also looking for a way to get vudu to work on my Norwegian Shield TV. It's not in the play store, even with vpn.. I really want to watch my Vudu movies in UHD on my Shield TV :/

Where did you have the apk? I'm thinking about getting a shield in order to use vudu however I'm in the UK so want to make sure that it will work (even if I have to jump through a few hoops).

Hi
the apk is actually on the factory image it just doesn't "appear". but does when you sideload (it does get deleted at next reboot).
So download and then sideload.
Haven't tried that method though in a bit. send me a pm to know why.
