Is anyone getting the crash problems with Splashtop HD? I googled the error and found that 3.2 with it's weird DHCP problem sucks and needs Static, but i changed my setting to static, and im still having crashing when im having -anything- of fair performance on my desktop up.
What im trying to do is use it to play Atlantica online, which of course, i've seen people playing Rift through their Iconia's on youtube, so Altantica, far less graphical should be no problem.
Right now im using the 3.2 CFW update that someone put out to preserve my root, i am also on Thor's 3.4 the rest Kernal, BUT i think im going to change it up to Richardtrip's.
Any tips would be appreciated.
Edit: Also, whenever i try to browse to other computers on my home network. (Have a computer that holds our movies and such) It crashes as well.
Edit: Problem seemed to have fixed it'self over..dunno, kind of strange. Anyway, mods feel free to remove this post.

I have just bought Acer Iconia A500 and when I play Words WF the tray tiles keep shuffling until I place one, running Honeycomb 3.1, is this a problem with the tablet or software ? I have tried turning the rotation off any ideas please
I play the game myself on my tablet and do not have this problem.. Are you running the Tablet version of the app of the phone version? I have no issues at all witht he tablet version.
I expect the tablet version I downloaded from market with the tablet I did not need to specify so believe should be right I have got the ap on an Optus Tablet works fine, thanks for your reply ????????????
If you got it through the market as opposed to installing an APK manually then you should have the right version. I am at a loss as to why you are experiencing the problem you describe though. Not experiencing this issue at all myself.
try to uninstall, then reinstall, may be a bad apk u installed
Hi. Your accelerometer is what's causing the issue. It's reporting the Z axis to be 0 to + 18 instead of -9.6 to +9.6.
I have the exact same issue. It's not a bad install or APK. You'll have the same problems in games like ATilt 3D Labyrinth, and anything else that relies on Z-axis. Have been looking for a fix or an update that fixes this but so far nothing.
I've tried multiple roms so far. My next attempt is going to revert back to stock (unrooted) 3.0 and try the OTA updates.
Update: Just reverted back to stock rom, issue is present in words with friends and also ATilt 3D Labybrinth. However, it's not present in Labyrinth Lite. Odd. updating now to stock 3.1
Update: Just updated to stock 3.1 via OTA. Words with friends now working/not constantly changing tiles.
I had the same problem. Constant shuffling in WWF. Updated to 3.1 and seems to be gone. They should've put a way to turn off shake-to-shuffle (which is what causes the problem). Honestly who would shake their tablet (or phone) to shuffle when there is a button right there?
Hi thanks for your really detailed reply you obviously know your stuff but as I am very new to tablets I have no idea what or how to update etc. Tablet tells me 3.01, Kernel 2.6.36.3 and build 1.016.04.
What is rooted etc, sorry if I seem a bit thick but struggling with the terminology and process, I therefore probably am a bit thick....LOL thanks for your assistance, Phil
hi im new here (and to the whole android thing)
my kindle fire has some serious audio syncing issues (i.e. in ALL games sound effects are played to late) and i dont seem the only one as google told me.
so i decided to try the CM7 to see if that fixes my issues, it does not.
is that a problem i have to live with? can i do something about it? what causes it?
thanks in advance for your help!
I have that issue too. I can't even normally play in rythm-game Osu! cuz audio sync is not correct
on all firmwares.
as i cant post in the other thread, will i have audio with latest cm9 rom? like JackpotClavin110112.zip
edit: well i do, but not in game
no.. Audio and Video not supported now.

As the previous poster has stated, ICS in it's current form has audio issues. It would be helpful to know which ROMs are you having the issue on? (ie. Amazon stock rom, CM7, ICS). If you're having the issue on all of them, especially with the stock rom it may potentially be a local hardware issue unless everyone else on the stock rom is having the same problem....
issues are with stock rom and with any other 2.3.x based rom i have tried.
other seem to have this issue too (and even contacted) amazon which promised to fix this issue with the latest update but didnt.
i also found game developer posts stating this is an android 2.3.x issue.
promised to fix and didn't? amazon.....
Seems to be a rather odd situation. Your kindle fire with stock firmware is having audio issues while the majority of other kindle fire's do not..
I don't know what type of media is presenting the issue, but it if works perfectly in another Kindle fire with the same exact software, then I can only conclude it's a hardware issue specific your device (and some others). Might we worth a shot to have them replace the device..
i guess it happens to all kindles, maybe not all users have noticed
please take a look at this video, you can see the problem at the very beginning
(as im new i cant link to sites, its on youtube /watch?v=U6MaGr4FCN8)
it shows angry birds as first games, see when the bird is pulled back an when the sound effect for it plays. see when the bird is launched and when the sfx plays, see when the bird hits the target and when the sfx plays.
some with every other game i have tried. on every rom i have tried.
this cant be an hardware issue can it?
The only time I have audio sync issues on the stock rom is with Netflix.
I am using ics right now and have no sound sync issues when the sound works lol.
Also, hats off to jackpotclavin, hashcode, hewhohas and everyone else that is working on ics.
Btw this was typed on my fire with ics.
Hi all,
Having a really frustrating issue with the Kindle. Games seem to be crashing to the the launcher (with no force close or anything). It's happening on multiple games, for example - Cartoon Wars, World of Goo, and really any game that has some type of graphics.
I tried setting the CPU minimum higher, I tried the IntersectRaven kernel, I then tried to limit the overclock on that to 1000 thinking it was that.
I'm open to any and all suggestions, its so frustrating. I have yet to flash back to stock to see if the same issues are there, but I may resort to doing so if I can't find a fix.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Thank you in advance.

I was just about to post an issue I have been experiencing with the Game Shadowgun. I have not had the same issue as above with any games but I have had issues with Shadowgun in that the game will pause itself every minute or two. This is actually the only game I have had any issues with. The game is fairly intense so I'm thinking it's pausing itself to play catch up, either way it's very annoying and the game looks sick so have been trying to figure out a way to prevent this. One thing I have been playing around with is Chainfire 3D witch has solved many game related issues with my phone. Including the same issue that is described above, kinda why I'm posting on this thread as it may help with the issue described in the op. Unfortunately I still have not had any luck with Shadowgun. If anyone else who purchased the game during the $. 45 sale has had this issue, would greatly appreciate knowing its not just me. Also, any suggestions on Chainfire 3D configuration or plug-in that would work well with CM7 Would also be appreciated.. Sorry I know it's not the same issue as above but figure an answer could be beneficial for both our issues.
Welp, just an update. I tried 2 other version of CM7, I tried the overclocked kernel and the regular speed kernel. Both freeze up like the user above stated and or the game closes to the launcher.
I went on to grab the rooted stock rom, loaded that up, and not one crash when playing games.
I really wish someone could identify the problem, I can't stand the kindle rom and love running CM7.
I'm kind of shocked that no one else is experiencing this issue.
P.S. is there a way to load the stock kernel on CM7? (I googled around, didnt turn up anything)
Thanks guys
John
I didn't want to make a thread for this specific issue but after searching I can't seem to find a definitive answer!
Does anyone else suffer from constant buffering with HD playback on the YouTube app and is this something that can be fixed??
Firstly I have a 60Mb/3Mb connection with a good strong wireless signal. We have numerous wireless devices around the house and none of them seem to be affected by this problem. I can have my Nexus 7 within 1 metre of my router and i'm lucky if I can get through 10 seconds of HD playback without it buffering, my laptop however will happily stream 1080p whilst i'm sitting in the garden!?
The Transformers movie on the play store has no problems at all, it plays smoothly no matter where I am in the house. It can even handle me skipping through sections and resumes playback almost instantly. I'm convinced the problem is with YouTube but don't really know how/if i can fix it. I have tried clearing the cache, reverting to a previous version and completely removing it and reinstalling yet the problems persist. SD playback is vastly better but it still has it's problems from time to time.
My device is completely stock running 4.1.2 (upgraded earlier today OTA). Apart from this issue I love the Nexus and don't really have any desires to root at present. I'm 31 with 2 children and my own business so I don't have the time to put into learning it all and keeping up with everything, 10 years ago things would have been very different!
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this was one of the main reasons I bought the tablet.
I have the same problem. It's very embarrassing when you try to show off the tablet to friends :-\

I also get this on most of my devices, seems like a YouTube problem.
Same here

I also have experienced this problem. It only happens with the YouTube on the N7. It doesn't happen on my iPhone or my laptop. I wish there was some way to fix it.

i have the same problem it really sucks
Look at post #267. A combination of SmoothROM and Bricked Kernel, both of which I've used in the past and are great, resolved the issue for one user.

It's somewhat comforting knowing i'm not suffering with this alone. . . This can't be right though surely!?
Whilst trying to fix the issue last night I did manage to stream a full HD 10 min video with no buffering, something that hasn't happened for a while. Strangely it worked right after using the speedtest.net app to test my connection. I don't even know if it's possible for one app to affect the other but the same video had buffering issues minutes before I ran the test. It's probably just a well timed coincidence but I thought it was worth mentioning.
I guess now we have to hope that Google get their act together and fix the site/app. They certainly receive enough in ad revenue, which always play flawlessly

I'm on stock 4.1.2 after a full reinstall, I can't recreate the issue. Out of curiosity can you go to settings > apps > all > youtube and clear the cache, does it help at all?

It's no different after clearing the cache unfortunately, that's one of the first things I tried. I'm guessing the next step is a full reinstall too. I'll have to look into backup options without root, which i'm guessing is pretty limited?
First world problems eh? :laugh:
Same Problem. I noticed the only way to get the vids to move is to toggle between hd and regarding when it freezes up. Very annoying to say the least. I just use the browser now. No probs.

I thought that I have problem with my router. Guess not. BTW I found "solution" which works for me. As soon as video starts buffering, turn off the screen, then on, unlock and press play on video and enjoy your video without buffering.

no solution, but the same problem. Bugs the hell out of me. My workaround has been to switch to SD which of course is a bit crap. When I get within reach of a wifi connection I'll try clearing cache/uninstalling updates etc. Not keen on rooting and installing new Rom/kernel as a solution to be honest.

Running 4.2 now makes no difference I'm afraid. Cleared cache and data, left updates. Still buffers uncontrollably. That said, the tip earlier tint he thread of turning off the screen, turning it back on and unlocking, then playing the video worked very well. It played HD video for 3 minutes straight with no buffering. Then a small/short buffer (acceptable) and now buffering again for the remained of the video @ 7 minutes. does this lend any information to lead to a root cause? Willing to work for a solution .
I wanted to update my situation seeing as I started this thread.
I recently moved home and changed internet provider and all of my issues with YouTube have gone away. I have gone from a 60Mb down / 3Mb up fibre optic service with Virgin Media (where I had nothing but issues). Now on a 4Mb down / .3Mb up ADSL service with Sky.
HD YouTube videos play flawlessly from everywhere I want to use my Nexus! It's not just YouTube though as pretty much everything that works from the internet is running a lot faster on my device now. I wish I could offer more of a solution but I can only say that I don't think it's a problem with the Nexus 7/YouTube app.
Yep. I found solution in some other thread. You gotta change modem or update firmware on it. I called my ISP requesting modem firmware update, they came and put new modem instead. Even better. Wish I knew about this solution before I bought new router. Oh well...at least now I have dual band so its not total waste of money.
same
So was the problem your modem, router or actual ISP? While my VDSL2 modem is capable of being a router, I have it setup in pass-through (bridge) mode to my DLINK DIR-655 router which handles everything. What exactly in the firmware is causing the slow-down just for youtube on the N7 (and not other computers)?
Has anyone else had an issue where the backdrop refuses to kick in automatically after the preset time? It simply won't activate for me on its own (neither daydream nor color works). If I manually start it from the settings menu it will launch. I've tried rebooting the device and it still won't work. Any ideas?
UPDATE: I've been doing some troubleshooting, and after uninstalling Plex and rebooting, backdrop starting working again. I then installed Plex again, and it briefly worked, but then stopped.....so I'm wondering if Plex is causing the issue. I suppose the next step is to leave Plex uninstalled for a while and see what happens.
I have the same problem. What happens is the screen just goes black when it is supposed to go on. Like you I can run it manually through the settings. I don't even have Plex installed so I have no idea why it stopped working. I can't understand how there is no simple way to restart the player too...
Based on my experiences so far, it appears that Google rushed this unfinished prototype out to the market. I have so many little problems and find that video playback is choppy at times. This thing needs some attention quickly.

I agree. It definitely seems pretty buggy at this point.
So far, in my case though, it's been running much better since I uninstalled Plex. Also, I was having an issue with the microphone on the remote controller REALLY sucking. It would hardly ever work properly. It would regularly not pick up any of what I said or pick up only the first word or so. BUT, since uninstalling Plex, the microphone has been working perfectly. It's like night and day. I'm going to keep monitoring it, but it seems like Plex was definitely causing this problem for me in addition to my backdrop problem.
With all of that said, perhaps you installed a different app that's causing problems for you?
