Angry birds

The beta is out but I cant seem to find it on the market with the vibrant. According to appaware, people with other phones (droid x, nexus one, even the hero, etc) have been finding and downloading it fine. Anybody have an idea on what's going on?

Xda app problem...

Whenever I open a thread in the xda app on my tab...it just force closes!
Can someone fix this!?

Are you opening the specific forum from your favorites?
I noticed on mine, when I added a forum to my favorites, opened the forum from there....and tried to open a thread...FC.
But, if I open it from the root of the forums....without using favorites...it works.

force close on me too. anytime i try to read a thread

works fine for me reading threads as long as im not logged in.

same happens on mine wichever way I access the postings, wonder if it'll be fixed and when...

Same here. I can access everything fine until I login. Then every thread I open produces a force close.

does this work properly for anyone on an a500? who are able to view threads as a guest and whilst logged on, and reply and comment threads without a FC?

I can't view threads even if I'm logged in or not!

its not compatible fully for honeycomb i think

Me Too
Mine works as long as I don't try to run a search. Search = Force close

The premium Ver doesn't fc even when logged in, I think the non premium one is not compatble with honeycomb, and its large display.

Yeah well it's not fully compatible with Froyo either. Unfortunately the XDA app is a piece of crap and nobody seems inclined to fix it. You'll find copies of this thread in practically every tablet device forum on these boards. I had the same experience with my Viewsonic GTab running Froyo. These XDA crashes go back at least as far as last October.
Some people say if you buy the full app that it doesn't crash, but why would I spend money to buy something on faith when their "trial" app is crap?
</rant>
So, if you want a specific forum app, go buy Tapatalk and forget about it.

Even xda premium doesn't work!!

I don't think they support the app anymore. Use TapaTalk.

Facebook App not compatible with Android 3.1

Just noticed,
The new updated Facebook app (V 1.6) is no longer compatible with the Xoom. I.e. if you don't have FB or if you've uninstallrd it, ouch!
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

I think they are trying to push tablets back to the unified touch website interface. The only thing that sucks with that is you can 'send to facebook' and sync contacts.
Know of any other apps that handle just that?

Friend me is a great tablet optimized facebook client. But it is still in the earlier stages of development.

Facebook saw friendme and wanted to retreat

Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

Rumor has it that Facebook will release an app for tablets.

again?
they broke FB for tablets before- you'd think they'd learned not to break stuff now...

Friendme is far superior

Friend me has no functional use without ability to go to each friends stuff or find things the way you do on the web. It needs way more work.

Install it on any other device then move it via astro backup or something. I did that and it works fine.

I use Friendcaster... not the tab optimized version though because it lacks a lot of functionality. Does look pretty however.

I just installed the 1.6 update on the Xoom and it force closes when you try to search. It's defiantly not made for the Xoom. Here is the APK if anybody wants to try it.

I'm on 1.5.4 and its always fcd on me searching for people. Has never worked right. You would think they would have given HC users a fully functional version by now.

I suspect this has to do with the fact that good Android devs are hard to find; good Android devs with Honeycomb experience are nearly impossible to find.

expecting for a good release

Just heard about a major FB release lined up for Wednesday, 'Supposedly' a counter to Google+ and designed for the Tablet. I hope the rumor's right!
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

That would be great!
I hope that rumor is true. Keep us updated if you hear any more details.

The Facebook app for the XOOM has always been crap. When Google+ goes live, I am deleting my Facebook account even if it sucks. I'm tired of it.

New Skype update has video calling for certain phones

Just got a Skype update. It now supports video calling for certain phones. I can't remember all that were listed but nexus s and a couple from HTC were there. No mention of the ATRIX. I can't see any options or indications of the feature anywhere in the program and I have no one on my list online to call. If its in the app I assume it should be able to be enabled for the ATRIX with a little tinkering.

THE PATCHED HACK DOES NOT WORK.
it doesn't work on either froyo or GB, has been tested over the last 2 days. it only works on a few samsung and HTC devices, most likely related more to the processor and NEON capabilities of the device, which our phone lacks.

First things to do with new zoom.

Hello guys and gals. I'm excited to get my zoom in the mail tomorrow from verizon. So I'm reading up on these forums to understand where everyone is at. I'm asking if any one would would he willing to give a quick check list of first things I should do when I get it. Then I can do some research based on your feed back and get it all set up. Thanks.

Download flash player from the market , then set your browser to on demand in the settings. Get feedly for your google reader or pulse, but I prefer feedly as it's much snapier. Download plume for tablet and friend caster for tablets.

One click is to much steps(irony right?)....
Do the catch recovery before reboot method which is really simple and easy. You get root and recovery at the same time.

Play with your xoom for a while then this. I would install the tiamat rom but I don't want to wipe my xoom.

I've decided to skip roms and tiamat or whatever. Looking at threads some are WiFi version only. Then some are different firmware version. I just want stock Verizon with whatever current version its at instructions. It's just to big of a mess for me to spend time digging through literally hundreds of posts researching on what should be closed threads restarted with fresh instructions. Not 4 month old threads. I'll just root adb, use setcpu, and wait for 3.2 uupdate. Then ill join in since ill know where other people are starting from.
It really is a mess. With my Droid x it was simple. A few ways to gain root and all the Roms nicely laid out ripe for the picking. Instruction clearly labled if you have firmware xxx do this, xxy do this. No wonder people are afraid to root. I am, now.

Ok I can't quit that easy. Looked at xoomforums. I think my whole problem was forum layout. Viewing this forum on their premium app jumbled everything together. Seeing everything laid out rom, kernels, ect, much easier. I'll go with launchpad 1.3 then try tiamat. At least I don't feel lost. As long I'm not browsing through their app.
