[A] Solution for Amazon and Xbox Smartglass on N7 - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I moved Amazon.apk and Xbox smartglass to my nexus and they work. I thought I would post them as a solution for some people who are new to the N7. Is it ok to post them via drop box?

Only if its not a paid apk.

Pretty much if it feels like stealing, or smells like stealing - XDA is not the place for it.
Everything else (if legal) seems OK. XDA is pretty good at self-policing, and if needed the Big Guns come in.

Thanks, I wasn't able to find that out. I guess I wasn't reading thoroughly.

Microsoft Smart glass is free but for some reason Microsoft did not mark the N7 as a compatible device.
Amazon app store and shopping app are both free. Not sure which one that second apk is.
Edit: misread the post but anyways, those two are not paid apps

Amazon hasn't released a tablet version and xbox smartglass won't be available for awhile.

Smartglass
Microsoft surprised everyone and released Smartglass early... so it IS available...
Works fine on Nexus 7, just download the APK above.

thanks for the apk!

The Amazon apk can be downloaded and installed normally via the Amazon App Store. For many, that would be a better option, as they'd still receive updates rather than having to try to keep up with sideloading newer versions.

It was more of a temporary fix than a permanent one.

Untill last week I was able to get it on my Galaxy Nexus 4G but the updated it so that it is incompatable again. I haven't seen a fix for the Galaxy Nexus yet so I wouldn't bet on there being a way to put it on The Razr M.
Personally, I'm done fighting with google. If they don't want to take my money I'll find another app like Square or the Cyanogen Mod app to do it.
The razr m is not supported for Google wallet I tried to side load it yesterday and I would not even install. Got it to install on my Gnex though will see if it works on Thursday.

Complain to the FCC that Verizon is blocking access to the app. The phone meets Google requirements.

Question for those who bought an n7 at or near launch

How long did it take until they were readily available again? I couldn't get an order in for a nexus 4, which seems to be in the same type of situation, with orders delayed for a few weeks.

EDIT:
Nvm, you are talking about the N4. Not relevant here bro.
I'm asking how long it took to restock the n7 so that I can apply that to the n4. How is that not relevant?

The Nexus was made by Asus. Then N4 is made by LG. Different companies, different factories,
and you can't extrapolate anything from the Asus experience. Google does not make these...
Might as well ask us how long before Sony gets the television in that you want.

There are quite a few, but I am not sure if we are allowed to discuss it here, because as you might know it is PIRACY.

The app can be found on the play store, there are a few, but I would just check out the free versions to see if they work for you.
Thanks very much, what tags would you recommend that work with the nexus

Anyone that is the NTAG203's and NOT the Mifares. Well, that's if you are intending to use the tags with the N4. So go to ebay or wherever you like to buy them. I personally have loved the service of andytags.com but there are cheaper alternatives. I go with Andytags because of the combo of service and products. And they post here too lol.
Why not the mifares ones and I am from the UK to purchase

If you are in the UK you may want to try our store Shop4NFC for quicker shipping. Estimated delivery to UK from us is 5-7 working days.
As for the app we would recommend NFC Task Launcher or NXP TagWriter from the Google Play store.

XDA App? KitKat

is it me or is the XDA app a little buggy since the KK upgrade?
Mine never highlights the correct message and force closes a bit.
I actually just restored my tab to so its a brand new install.
Not a huge deal but just wondering if the app was bing updated or its just something with my tablet.
thanks

The free version of the paid version? I've got the paid version and it doesn't seem to work right, even on my Xperia Miro running 4.0.4.
For me the problems started already on 4.3, but they continue on 4.4

Have the same problems. Started on 4.3 as well... Drives me crazy. Can't hardly "thank" anyone without creating a new post underneath it and also my recents are usually not updated.... I've tried everything.... Terrible.

I have the same issue both with paid and free, tho the xda HD is OK but the layout takes a while to get used to.
Is the new appv4 any better.

The paid app has sucked ever since it was upgraded.

It was getting buggy for me 2, so switched to the tapatalk app which is far better, recommend giving it a go.

The point is we shouldn't HAVE to use tapatalk. I don't follow a lot of forums so the XDA app and Bacon Reader is all I need. It should just work. Especially the paid version.

It does need fixed, maybe everyone needs to submit feedback/report the bugs. I definitely recommend tapatalk though as it's just better and is getting updated. I don't follow a load of forums either, just use it specifically for xda.

I just tried tapatalk app and i must say WOW. screw xda app i am never going back to it now.
Thanks for the taptalk suggestion.
