PLex app - Acer Iconia A500

searched and did not find.
anyone using the plex app and got it to work on the a500?
i have it working on my evo 4g but can't get it to work on the a500. i tried the plex forums and got a response from the moderater/employee but no real help. basicly he said it should not even work on the evo or a500, but then said someone on his forum has got it working on th a500.
he offered a refund but it is only $5 so i am not concerewd. i would just rather have it working to stream movies from my computer to save space until they get the sd card isssue worked out.

I have it installed on both my Evo4g and my A500. I was able to install directly from the market and ran the app with out issue on both devices.
Sorry I know that doesn't help...
Oh, I am rooted on both devices, not sure if that matters at all.

Thanks,
I am rooted also on the Evo but not the A500. I was going to root the A500 after the 3.1 comes out in June.

Rooting the A500 takes just a couple of minutes, well worth the time to do it. If for no other reason than to be able to run adfree

Using it on my rooted A500 and Samsung Fascinate. I had an issue last night where my A500 would not see any folders on the server. I removed the server on the A500, restarted A500, re-added server in Plex and problem solved.

[Q] Order and Chaos

Anyone heard anything about when the tablet optimised version of this is likely to hit? I've got it running on the Iconia but it's not the smoothest experience. Much better on my Xperia Arc at the moment! Hoping 3.1 will bring an improvement.
when you say running how long does it last before it FC? I just walk for less than a minute it bam fc....
works great for me. Only the character select screen lags a bit. I'm using 1.0.1 on the leaked 3.1 build.
Mine doesnt crash but the display doesnt fit properly and it lags. However I am still on 3.0.1 so heres hoping it will work after update!

Wow OK updated to 1.0.1 and its very good, even the cut off parts are gone. Well what I mean is there is no more cut off well just look at the pics below I'm currently using virtous Picasso 1.0.2 and other was on prime rom.
How did you get it to run on the Iconia?
Market wont let me download because its not compatible with my Acer A500??
Edit: nevermind, did a search for all devices version and could install the bugger
Purchased it from a compatible device tho, just to be on the legal side....
Question now is: i wont get updates the normal way now because Iconia market does not show the game even if purchased, grmpf:
Guess for the long term we have to wait for a lazy gameloft dev to extend the compatibility list for the game (played about 2 hours w/o a single crash yesterday, so the Iconia can handle the game sweetly.
Anyone managed to buy stuff @ ingame store?
For me connection just times out...

Yeah, same here. Times out every time
dont know if it just me but anyone have the "your system is not compatible"?
I been playing really good logged off then I tried logging back in and nada.
Maybe Gameloft finally detected the non approved system and blocked it?
No such issue here...
For me it force closes from time to time just after during startup (same applies to some other games/apps).
Also i had a "License invalid" once, but after another restart it was ok.

[Info] Netflix now supported in STOCK ROM! (after latest FOTA Update)

I just updated my stock ROM (manually checked), and I'm VERY EXCITED to report that Netflix now works! Thank you ASUS!

I'm pretty pumped about this. I live in Vietnam and pay for a VPN service (StrongVPN). Might be worth your while if you like netflix as much as I do. I'm happy to report netflix works for me now.
Strange, it won't work for me. I still have it installed from when it was briefly available a month or so back, but it still says my device isn't supported, won't stream, won't update, and won't find it in the market to re-download. That's with the FOTA that was just released in the US this morning.
...and keyboard lag is maybe slightly better, but still noticeable.
where did you guys download netflix program? I can not find it on the market.
I too cannot find it in the market...any hints on where you found it?
As for using Netflix from outside the US, I'm in the VI, I've used Hide My Ass VPN to get Netflix and other services that wouldn't let us stream content since we aren't in the US for quite some time with excellent results. I even posted instructions on how to get a Linksys E3000 router to connect to the service so all clients appear to be cominig from the states on my blog at Blendblog.net. Hope this helps!

I wonder if hbo go will work now. Anyone have a current .apk?
This is great!
Just before i left to work this morning, i noticed there was an update notification. Left it running as i headed out. (now wishing i had brought the damn thing..lol)
Yup, a friend/co-worker downloaded the update and his Netflix is now working. Can't want to get home and try mine. This may be the nail in the Galaxy Tab 10.1's coffin... Netflix was the only thing that was keeping me from returning the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and keeping the Transformer.
Confirmed. Working on mine, and looks great. Man, Asus rocks.

I downloaded the firmware update as well and installed Netflix. Worked perfectly. Now the circle is complete!

A500 Honeycomb 3.2 Update Hitting USA

I turned on the Iconia today at about 2:00 PM and I was greeted with then Update Available window. I downloaded the update and preformed the installation.
All went very very well and no hiccups. Typing this now on my A500 on HC 3.2.
For those interested, I'm in northern Virginia.
Build is:
ACER_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2
Been playing with it for a couple of hours now and so far it is all good.
Couple of things you notice right away is the touch screen operation seems to be much smoother. Mine also wakes up super fast from hibernation mode. You now get a little "SD Card Installed" icon in the notification bar when you boot up.

Got the update
I got my update today as well when I turned it on this morning. I'm in Northern Virginia as well. So far I like it. The browser seems a lot smother to me. I connected it to my laptop to see if I could see files on the external sd card. It showed up as an accessible drive, but none of the folders or files were displayed when I opened it up. I created a folder and it did show up in the file manager.
I was on stock 3.1, no root.
Received the OTA
I also received the OTA today as well. I'm just outside of Nashville, TN. I picked up my tab brand new about 3 months ago. Updated to the same build number as the op. No problems with 3.2 at all. Seems really stable and snappy. This tab has always been stock. Tried the newest build of Netflix for kicks, but no luck. Hopefully they will get it going soon without the need for root.
a lot of nova people on here!
3.2 still isn't rooted though right? wont be upgrading til thats done
got it yesterday (Guadalajara, Mexico). Where can I see the changelog?

You can install Taboonay 2.1 or the near stock ROM from ezterry if you want a rooted ROM based on the 3.2 OTA update. They use a different boot loader. Not sure how long it will be before the developers figure out how to crack the new boot loader, so don't perform the update yet if you think you might want to root it or install a custom ROM.
Look in the deveopers thread if you want more information on the ROMS.
I would be Glad to answer any questions on either one. I have tried them both and they are great. I prefer Taboonay 2.1 because I get to chooce the Acer stock apps I want and skip the ones I don't
Tethering with 3.2
After updating to 3.2 are you still able to tether? I have read where some are having issues getting tethering to work after the update.
Updated to 3.2, lost root, but I was mainly worried about that for Titanium Backup.
I can still tether to my Bionic, but haven't tried connecting to an ad hoc wifi AP yet
Got mine on Monday. No root or mods, never had any.
any update on the 3.2 root?

the link works fine for me... but shouldn't this thread be in the themes and apps forum?
i couldn't figure out how to play using the sixaxis app but what controllers are compatible?
the link is working, but I can't download because it is saying that none of my devices are compatible with the game. The A500 is in the list of compatibles devices.
Does anybody known how to resolve this?
I was using the Thor rom and couldn't get the game because it kept saying my device was incompatible. I switched over to the Honeylicious rom, the game downloaded fine and it runs without a problem.

I'm on stock 3.2 unrooted. Any ideas?
Not sure why you wouldnt be able to get it on stock 3.2... Im on a rooted 3.2 and it dled without any issue...
I'm still running stock 3.2 and it downloaded with no problems for me.
me too, market says my acer iconia is incompatible when I checked just now. I remember that it was still compatible a couple of days ago when it was released. I should have downloaded it then.
Any reason for rockstar to remove a500 in the compatible list?
It happenned to me also. I was on Lightspeed 1.7 , I switched to Honeylicious and same problem.
It works very well on the Acer tab a500. Don't know why it's not available on the Market.
Hopefully, the apk is available elsewhere...
works well with my iconia (lightspeed 1.0.7) and xbox 360 controller

Where did you get it from?
Is it available for you in the market or did you get it from other sources?
I'd hate to go to the tpb when i'm willing to pay.

Same here, no GTA III : 10th AE for me. A501 from frys.com. 3.0.1 on board. It shows in Tegra Zone, but after redirecting to Market it says it cannot be found or sth like that.
Brutalpanda,
As everybody knows, they're other places than the Android Market to get apps for android devices on internet...
This was a very poor decision by RS Games. I bought the game on December 15 much like many other people on here probably did. I still have the game installed and everything runs well, but I would now be forced to backup the apk in order to make sure I can reinstall it later if I were to switch roms or whatever. Hopefully they bring support back soon, would be nice being able to download future updates.
I a company makes it harder (and really in this case impossible) for me to purchase something from, how could I feel guilty for obtaining it surreptitiously?
p.s. pirate bay is wholly unnecessary

I believe I went with the third link, but first looks the same
Ok enough with the BS.
I got it, it runs fine on my Iconia.
I don't know what incompatibilty there is, but I've been trying for three days to get it from the android market. three days!
I flashed several different roms on my device including asus and motorola based ones! I even unsuccessfully tried to change my build.prop.
Nobody can say I didn't try.
I got it from a famous link site, I should have started there, i would have played the game the whole week-end instead of flashing roms.
Nicely done Rockstar.

Which is exactly why I changed my rating from a five to a two.
"I currently have the game installed in my Acer Iconia Tab A500 and everything works perfectly. It seems that Rockstar Games has decided to remove support for my device at least for the interim and I don't really appreciate that. It works very well for my particular device and Rockstar Games is now shooting itself in the foot since some people with unofficially supported yet capable devices will be unable to obtain the game legitimately which means their only option will be piracy."

Something Strange Has Happened To My GED WiFi Xoom

For some odd reason I can NOW Move, Delete, Copy, Paste etc. etc. on my SD Card from SDCARDXD. I did NOT sign up for the ICS update. I am NOT Rooted & I am still running Stock. I have NO idea what has happened. Does anyone know what may have happened. I DON'T have EOS ICS. Nothing has changed since the day I bought my GED WiFi Xoom (Day 1).
Right now I am using SDCARDXD and moving Movies from the MNT/External1 Folder to MNT/SDCard/Movies, then Deleting the Movies from External1 I can't believe it. It is Amazing. I have NOT used my Xoom in about a Month because I could NOT do these functions without the use of my PC. I wanted to do it Internally and I decided to pick up my Xoom today and started to play with it and I can do what I could NOT do a Month ago. I am just wondering what HAPPENED?
All I'm going to say is...great! I'm really glad it's working for you, and better late than never!
All I EVER wanted from my GED Xoom was to be able to work on my SD Card Internally WITHOUT Root. That's why I got a GED Pure Android Device
Thanks Bro.

If you wouldn't have been so busy ranting about how terrible the Xoom is, maybe you would have seen this app months ago when gmanapps released it. It was the talk of the town on the Motorola users forum.
As gmanapps has said many times, the API calls are there, but developers are not using them. So he made use of them and wrote the app.
It must suck to not be able to see the forest for the trees.

It looks like it would work for you, but it's a paid app. Are you on HC 3.2.1? The level of update seems to be required for non-US Xoom.

You know what, you TALK ALOT OF **** and ASSUME wayyyyy too much. I bought GmanApps (SDCARDXD) the day it was released for $1.49. I remember when he released that App and I bought it day 1. I also commented on Nov 7th under (Ghodzilla5150 or BigFame) OH SNAP, LOL At that time he had not put in Delete Mode yet or Move & Paste. He also wrote a long synopsis on why he thought GED was holding BACK US Xoom's and how he thought ICS was NOT going to HELP with the SD Card issue.
Instead of stalking ME, maybe YOU should read the Moto Forum's a little more. He talked about this BEFORE they changed the Forum format. He did NOT want to post his beliefs believing he would get Banned because that's what they do on the Moto Forums. Ban anyone who Negatively speaks ill about their Precious GED Xoom.
It must SUCK when you ASS U ME, you know me and what I have done.
