While I'm waiting for my pre-ordered Nexus 7 to arrive, I'm wondering if I'll be able to use it to stream free videos from my Amazon Prime account.
I've read:
- the Nexus 7 default Chrome browser doesn't support Flash
- Adobe won't support Flash beyond Android 4.0, leaving Jelly Bean (4.1) unsupported.
- Google Play won't allow downloading Flash to an unsupported device
So it seems my options may be twofold:
1) Try installing ATVAndroidClient.apk (I've got a copy)
or
2) Try installing Adobe Flash (I obtained a copy from the Adobe site) and a second web browser that will support Flash such as Firefox.
Has anybody enabled Amazon Instant Video on their Nexus 7? If so, how?
Anybody have any other options for making this work?
Thanks,
Mark
Couldn't you just install the amazon instant video apk?
i do not have a Nexus 7 but i have a Galaxy Nexus which i installed the I/O version of jelly bean on.
I can confirm that Flash worked perfectly with Firefox (chrome does not support it) and the stock browser (one rom included that).
i tested with amazon prime instant video and youtube.

As you said, after August 15th flash will be removed from the market, so have to backup and then install the APK manually.
As bammarata said, the Amazon Instant Video APK from the Kindle Fire does work, however you can't be rooted and it has issues working at any resolution other than that of the Fire.

No app afaik...yet...
I'd guess that if nexus s becomes a big seller it would force those sites to start accelerating porting content to html 5 but yeah in the short term those flashed based sites will be difficult to but i have heard that while not officially suppoted, the nexus does work with amazon prime

the ipad sells great and the web hasn't adopted HTML5 yet
And there is an AIV apk, ripped from the kindle fire, easy find through google. But it has issues on any resolution other than the stock fire one.

ATVAndroidClient.apk
I'm sorry. Maybe I should have been clearer. ATVAndroidClient.apk is the Amazon Instant Video apk that came from the Kindle Fire.
Like bammarata89 says, Amazon has not released an Amazon Instant Video App for any other devices and I'm asking if I couldn't just install the amazon instant video apk on the Nexus 7. I was wondering if anyone has tried this yet or if perhaps someone had any other alternatives such as Neok44 using Flash and Firefox.
Thanks
You can currently install Flash & Air on the device. Down the road, just make sure you have a TiBU & restore Flash that way.
I have a Nexus 7 from I/O and unfortunately neither the AIV app or Flash in the browser work (although it installs just fine from the market). It was the first thing I tried after they gave it to us since I own some stuff on AIV and have a Prime account. Bummer, hopefully Amazon gets on top of it and supports HTML5.

Make sure you try it with a browser that supports Flash. Chrome does not.
For the browser issue, im going to backup the Browser.apk from my Nexus and install it on my Nexus 7. Im going to mainly use chrome but when i hit a flash page, im going to get the app "Flashify" check it out, maybe you'll go my path as well
Android Market has other browsers too. Nexus stock browser may not be the best.
I had to download Dolphin HD on my Galaxy Nexus for some flash videos to work correctly (they'd be cut off in the stock browser for some reason). I'm guessing Dolphin for Pad would be the best replacement on the Nexus 7.
I'm glad it still appears to work for now but future updates to Jellybean and beyond are definitely a concern. :-(

Other than *video* the tools to do html5 are still in the dark ages vs flash.

As others have commented, Jelly Bean Chrome doesn't support Flash but Jelly Bean does support other browsers such as Dolphin and Flash.
So it begs the question, is the AIV app completely self contained or does it rely on any external apps such as a browser or Flash?
If AIV is self contained, it looks like we Prime subscribers may not be able to use it on the NExus 7, but if AIV relies on an external browser and you only had Chrome installed, it may worth loading Dolphin and trying again.
You may also want to try the Dolphin & Flash combination. I've read reports that this combo works on Jelly Bean installed on devices other than the Nexus 7.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the new KF is rumored to have the same resolution as the N7.
This should make the APK work well on the N7...as resolution differences was the major issue with the current APK working well with other devices.

Flash works with Firefox and Dolphin on Jelly Bean/4.1/Nexus 7. It also should work with ICS Browser+.
and as @stumblebum said, if the new Kindle Fire is true and comes out with the same resolution, and i would assume based on 4.0/4.1 there is a good chance that the app should be ported over without much issue.
but until then now, Flash+Firefox/Dolphin works perfectly on Jelly Bean.

Now that I've finally received my Nexus 7, I installed Dolphin HD and Flash 11 but can't play any Flash in the Dolphin browser. I also tried installing the Amazon Instant Video App but no luck there either.
I was excited to get the latest update to dolphin because it said it fixed full screen video playback issues. Apparently the update also disabled its ability to use flash with Jelly Bean. I just sideloaded firefox and can play the amazon videos now.

So is there a way to watch Amazon videos with Dolphin browser and jelly bean? If you need some other app, where do youget it?
Hi Everyone !
First of all, I wish I will be able to explain exactly my questions (I'm French, so ...).
I ordered a Nexus Q on ebay. I have a google music account since the beggining, even if it's not open yet in France.
I'm really interesting by this little ball for music and youtube, and maybe movies.
I saw on the Nexus Q site that this is a World-ready 50/60Hz 85-265V AC input.
I want to be sure that I won't see the Nexus Q blow up with a simple adaptator. Or do you think it will be safer to buy a converter 110 - 220 V ?
I wish too that Jelly bean in France will have the new music app, and the Nexus Q app too (for the moment, I can't download it on the market.
Thanks a lot Guys for your answers !:good:
It will work. That is the beauty of new electronic devices. I travel around the world and now you only need a converter for the power outlet. The days of needing a voltage converter for electronic devices is gone. You will need to buy a plug converter that converts from the N. American/Japan style to French. This is what you need http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001ISR9B6/
Thank you for your answer !! Great news !
No adapter required
You don't necessarily need an adapter, just grab a standard figure-8 power cord and that's it.
I would've added a link to Amazon for that but this goddamn thing won't let me.
Yes, I think I will do that hleinone, because I have a plenty of these kind of cords.
Another question. Jelly Bean is not out yet on the Galaxy Nexus, so I don't think I will be able to use the Nexus Q ?
Moreover, impossible in France to download the Nexus Q app on the playstore. I tried the link on another post to install it, but it doesn't work. I am a little bit affraid to not be able to use it if I can't download the Nexus Q app ! :crying:
Power is no issue. But guys can you explain how to install Nexus Q app on non JB device?
I had to root a galaxy nexus and install JB.
If you're rooted, I guess you can use Market Enabler/Unlocker to install the Nexus Q app from the Play Store.
I download the apk, but impossible to install it.
I think I will wait for my Nexus Q, and if jelly bean isn't arrive on my phone, I will root it, install jelly bean and try with Market Enabler/Unlocker.
Thanks Guys ! But really, I don't understand why Google didn't put the app for all country !! Some of the people who were at the Google I/O are not American citizens !!
But, I love Google, so, I forgive them :laugh:
I'm not sure it's country related issue.
I can download app from europe on JB just not on ICS
On the Play Store, I got this message :
"Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Impossible d'installer cet article dans le pays associé à votre appareil."
It means : Impossible to install this item in the country of your device
So, I think it could be a country issue. I will see what happen when I will receive Jelly Bean. I'm pretty sure I will find a way to install Nexus Q app thanks to XDA !
And I already download the apk (not working on ICS, but maybe on JB)
I got my Nexus Q at Google I/O, but I didn't install the app on my Galaxy Nexus or Nexus 7 before going back home to Denmark. Back in Denmark I get the same message as you whenever I try to install the app from Play Store "This application is not available in your country". I have JB on both my tablet and my phone, so getting JB will not solve the problem.
Let me know if you figure out how to install the app!
Thanks to GDI2290

I install this APK on my Jelly Bean Galaxy Nexus and it works perfectly with my Nexus Q (I'm French and live in France)
Have fun with your Nexus Q !

Hello everyone!
I have been a proud owner of a Samsung Galaxy S i9000 for almost 2 years (haha, proud owner...), and Asus Transformer Prime for 5 months (actually a pretty awesome device). I have just recently decided to sell both of these (getting a very amazing price for both) and deciding to go all Nexus, since I have been told that Nexus devices are the first to get updates and are generally the best investment.
Now, I am planning to buy the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus 7 tablet. I have the following questions for both devices. Please reply with respect to each device:
- Can I transfer files from my PC to these devices, just like I have been able to do so with my previous devices?
- Do these devices have the same Android file management? I.e on my previous devices it was neccessary for me to make several different folders in my documents folder corresponding to my courses, and then transfer files such as PDFs, docs, pics etc. to them. Can I do the same with these devices? And also open them with some sort of file manager?
- Do these devices support TV-out? One of my biggest need for previous devices was Netflix streaming, and sometimes downloading torrents (hey don't look at me, Netflix's collection sucks ) and then playing them back to my TV. Can I do this with these devices?
And also need just a general opinion; I really only had the following combined primary uses of my devices: Web Browsing, Calls, Texts, PDFs notes, Games, and Netflix/movie playback onto my TV. Do you think with these two Nexus babies, would I be able to do all of these tasks?
Nexus devices are fantastic. after the nexus one i never looked back.
1) the galaxy nexus and the nexus 7 are MTP devices so yes.
2) yes they do. just use a file manager like es file explorer. of course you will need to be rooted to have full functionality though.
3) shouldn't be a problem with a rooted galaxy nexus but so far it's a no go for the nexus 7...we'll see...
you won't regret having both devices.

Thank you for your prompt reply. Just one thing; Why do I need to root the Galaxy Nexus in order to use TV-out? And is MTP confirmed on Nexus 7?
So, if all goes well and I get my hands on these, I will use Galaxy Nexus for Calls, SMS, Camera, casual web browsing, music, and Netflix/TV-out and Nexus 7 for PDF notes, heavy web browsing, Skype, Documents, and emails. That sounds fair enough for these devices?
rooting the device will not give you tv-out =( only use of USB drives
I was wondering if our Nexus 7 can also run multiple windows at the same time just like Galaxy Tab 2 and Note 2. I havnt found any rom yet which supports such thing and some people are saying, an official update would fix that. Is there any chance we can have that on our Nexus 7?

Could you explain what you mean by "windows"? Are you talking about Touchwiz apps?
Edit: also, put Qs in the Q+A section. Actually, someone just asked this (coincidence)?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974476
There's apps on the play store that supports multi-windows like the note 2. There's a app called "OverSkreen (floating browser)" but it doesn't have support for jelly bean yet.
The OP is referring to the TouchWiz feature of running 2 apps side-by-side. This feature was heavily advertised on the Note 2. I think it is called Multitasking (lame name, I know).
I hadn't heard anything specifically related to the N7, but I did hear that it was part of the TouchWiz framework and it probably wouldn't be available on AOSP ROMs. I am waiting to be corrected though
I used S note a lot on galaxy Note.
Then bought Note 2 - used S-note even more.
Then I bought Note 10.1 - and got dissapointed, the S-note app for 10.1 were older and missed some fetures.
Now I bought Note 3 - a much newer "S note" app, that converts the notes to a new format. - that note 10.1 never got an update for...
So. using Samsung proprietary app, which they (dirty bastards) do not update using Google Play, is a big fail. It makes me stuck with old version of the app, something that would not happen to any normal Android app on google Play.
Morale of this story is: do not trust apps that are not updated via google play for all devices.
Solution ?
I've tried to copy the note3.apk from note3 to my note 10.1 , but for some reason, it fails to install every time.. and I do not know why ?

have you tried copying over the note2.apk?
I think it's flat out ridiculous that we have to be stuck with old versions of software because the companies are too greedy and only focuses on new products and selling new hardware/software. I mean we've been on 4.1.2 since release and 4.3 is rolling out to other devices. Couldn't we at least be on 4.2.2? Come on Saumsung. I love your devices but this is craziness.

Check out Lecture Notes, works well & offers may more features than all versions of stock software. Since when do the hardware mfg's have to offer all software? They don't provide updates via Android Store because they can offer updates via firmware, so why should they have to pay Google for a service they already provide? My advise open your wallet instead of your mouth.

Well, Samsung does not need to pay google for free updates via Play, - and could resctrict it to their devices.
On the other hand, they could provice updates using Samsung apps market, which they do not....
finally you write "because they can offer updates via firmware" - and that's the main problem: they did not.
- While you are prety cocky with "My advise open your wallet instead of your mouth" - you brought one great suggestion for an app... purchased.
thanks.
Trying to understand the issue ...
I must be missing something here. My notes work fine on my Note 10.1 (2012 edition) and my Note II.
There are some minor differences, but I can still read them on both devices.
OP is fruatrated because not all Samsung devices are using the same version of note-taking software, right?

My take is the newest version on the Note 3 will convert notes from 2/10 to a newer format. And the 2/10 do not YET have the newer version of SNote to use the newer format.

Ahhh, so when you work on things with your Note 3, they are no longer compatible with your Note 2/10.1(2012) ... that's no good.
What happens when you try to open them? Would you be willing to share a screenshot of an error or ... ? Your Note II/10.1 just won't see them?

The converted notes become invisible for old s note application. (not much to screenshot)
I would share the current s-note3 app if anyone is better at finding out why it won't install on the 10. 1
s note app with Samsung Apps Store
It will probably roll out with the next OS update. Samsung committed to take the 10.1 as far as 5.0. I'm betting it will go to 4.3 before Christmas since compatibility with Gear needs 4.3 and they want you to buy a Gear for Christmas!

The new SNOTE stores its files in a differnent folder on the sd card and in additon, the old snote could handle folders of notes, but the new one doesn't seem to support this.
EDIT: It does support folder but you have to tap the "recent note" and then the menu allows you to create a folder. The only way to possible share between verison I can see is to export from Note3 to pdf and then import the pdf in Note 2. Sucks..

I was also quite disappointed with S Note. I used Samsung Note 10.1 (2012)'s S Note extensively, and sync them to the Samsung account. Just bought the 2014 Note 10.1, and to my surprise, the old S Notes don't sync over.
I resorted to Syncing with Evernote, and then opening up in Evernote in the 2014 edition. When I click on the notes, it says I have to covert them to the new format. When I did, it looked like everything was mucked up. Diagrams all went out of alignment etc.

The best would be if somebody managed to install note3.apk from a newer device, on the 10.1
Do you still have the old one? If so export the notes to PDF. Maybe lots of work but should get them moved.
