Alot of games are not working. The resolution is all jacked up.

+1, I approve this thread. Let's hear some more apps that do/don't work.

Only thing that hasnt worked for me is USA Today.
Some look ridiculous in 10" of glory, but they do work...lol

Had some force closes with Dolphin HD but overall it works. Also had some force closes with pandora but again it works. Can't find Tango in the market either and since apparently only people with a Xoom can video chat on gtalk, I have nobody that I can actually video chat with yet until Skype comes out lol.

sling player works, but it is super slow and the resolution is not that great. i will try over wifi in a little while, but i think it needs to be updated by sling for 3.0.
my dinc in the same spot is great with sling running.

Full Exchange sync works:
E-mail
Contacts
Calendar
Barcode Scanner
Google Earth
ES File Explorer
Gensoid Lite (tested with Sonic the Hedgehog 2)
Google Sky Map
Homerun Battle 3D
RockPlayer Lite
SNesoid Lite (tested with Super Mario World)
Tank Hero
Tricorder
X Construction
That's all I've installed so far. I noticed that on the Android Market (which immediately updated as soon as I opened it) has a section devoted to Tablet Apps. Kinda sad to see there aren't very many yet, but I'm sure that will change soon.

nba league pass and game time works

Zenonia works, and actually scales very well in my opinion.
Also,
Astro
Shazam
Gun Bros
Documents to Go
And I wish I could find google body.

I'm having a problem now with the market. Everything downloads but then it doesn't install successfully. I restarted my xoom but still no go.

Are you trying to use your work's exchange server? If so, on my Nexus One I have to conform to the administrator's security requirements to sync to the server. Basically, it means I have to use a PIN lock screen.

It's probably some setting you're not considering that needs to be changed on the Xoom. With this being the first Honeycomb device, who knows what's different. I would ask your Exchange server administrator what security settings they require.

Can you attach a wiimote via bluetooth for nes games and such?

Anyone able to update dungeon defenders or are we suppose to pay for it now ... even though it came with the device

I just did using wii controller IME from the market. Takes a little playing with the settings in nesoid but it runs great and really fills the screen well.

Thanks for letting me know, I think that's the best way to entice mid 20's to early 30 year old people. "Look, I know your iSomething is awesome, but I just downloaded two apps and I'm playing nes and snes games with a wiimote, fo free."

Touchdown
Touchdown for Exchange, the new tablet version, is an incredibly awesome exchange mail solution. Works as well as desktop outlook, with mail, calendar, contacts, tasks and notes all available in a great windowed format.

spare parts is working, it allows unoptimize apps to run full screen on the xoom/galaxy tab.
* 1. Download “Spare Parts” application from Android Market and install it. If you visit us from the Galaxy Tab, follow this link : Spare Parts
* 2. Launch “Spare Parts” and scroll down to “Compability Mode”. Un-tick the box and tick it back.
* 3. Reboot the Galaxy Tab.
* 4. Launch “Spare Parts” again, scroll down to “Compatibility Mode” and un-tick the box.
* 5. Reboot the Galaxy Tab.
* 6. Congratulations. Your apps are displayed in full screen!

Printing App

Is there an app out there to print from within apps? cant understand why google havent built in this feature by now??

I use google cloud printing.
http://www.google.com/cloudprint/learn/

If you don't mind paying a good app is Printhand.

Tweaked does cloud printing require the computer to be on that the printer is connected to or can i connect to a WiFI printer directly?
jnehama thanks i'll have a look at that app
thanks for the replies

Maybe because it's been doable for a long time? It's built in in the sense that any app set to receive the appropriate intents could communicate with a printer. Google Cloud Print does exactly this with Google's services, and other printing apps have been around for quite a while.
There isn't really a huge benefit towards making it a "system" function, especially on mobile. More services to run with little overall benefit.

Android TV MLB.tv blackout workaround?

Is anyone aware of a way to get past blackout restrictions on an android TV device? From what I've read you can get around it on a phone using several different methods of spoofing the GPS data/IP data, but I cannot find any information about how to do this with android TV or if it is even possible. Has anyone tried or had any luck with this? Would like to get it working with my nexus player and my shield TV.

A smart DNS service such as Unotelly should be able to do what you're looking for. They offer an 8-day free trial so you can test their service out without having to pay first. Once you've registered with them, enter the two closest DNS servers in to your router's control panel and the settings should take effect for all the devices on your home network. http://help.unotelly.com/support/so...watch-your-home-team-and-blue-jays-if-you-are

I've tried unlocator but it doesn't work because it doesn't alter the GPS data... I wonder if unotelly is any different...
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

None of the current Android TV boxes have GPS mechanisms inside of them so there's no need to worry about that. It's quick and easy to create a trial account with UnoTelly so try it out and see if it solves your problem with MLB.TV blackout restrictions.

Interestingly, this worked while unlocator did not! Thanks a lot!

I'm happy to hear that it worked for you. Can you check to see which version of the MLB.TV app is installed on your Android TV device? v1.3.4 of MLB.TV on my Nexus Player only shows a black screen when I try to load video streams and I'd like to know if anyone else here is experiencing this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-player/help/mlb-tv-v1-3-4-app-loading-video-t3189553

I'll have to look but I am currently using a shieldtv and not a nexus player (my nexus player is currently relegated to a shelf due to issues with a lot of apps)

Smart watch integration with MyFitnessPal.com

My Fitbit One is dying because it's getting old, so I'm going to be replacing it with a Smart Watch of some sort. I'm looking for a watch that will track my steps and hopefully my sleep and integrate with MyFitnessPal account.
I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions or experiences with this? I'm not sure if there are watches that are better than others at this or if they generally don't work at all. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you.

The moto 360 has all what your looking for,and I use with google fit.but I believe you can use fitness pal also,but don't quote me.

I have the moto360. It is set to sync with Google fit and motobody. I have myfitnesspal set to pull the data from Google fit and it works like a champ. Motobody is supposed to sync with fitbit, but I have yet to see it work. I jump through all these hoops so I can sync with my work's vitality program.

Care to outline your method for me? My new company enforces ios so ive had to replace my galaxy with an iphone. Trying to get my data to sync since i cant get anything to check in with apple health.

I have my company's vitality system linked with mapmyfitness.com. In the mapmyfitness app, I have it linked with myfitnesspal. In the myfitnesspal app, I have it linked to Google fit. I have my moto360 linked with Google fit. It's stupidly complicated, but works.

I prefer using the app Up by Jawbone. Integrates much better with my moto 360 than Google Fit. I also recommend Interval Timer for Android to time your reps like a champ.

How about the Huawei active?

Have you had any problems with this setup?

I just stumbled upon this rather convoluted solution myself. My company also has a Vitality program and after numerous issues with FitBit I want to use an actual smartwatch to log steps. After playing around with the various app connections I did the same Google Fit -> MyFitnessPal -> MapMyFitness -> Vitality. I just need to buy a smartwatch now to complete the chain, but I want to make sure it works before purchasing one.
Thanks.

Seeking avice for a good sync setup for this

Hi,
This isn't specific to Essential, but because I'm an Essential Phone owner, I thought I'd ask fellow Essential users. I was using Google Play Music for many years, but recently I finally got fed up with its known error to duplicate uploaded songs. Now, I'm trying to find an alternative setup for my music need. Basically, I want to find a "reliable" syncing service that can keep my songs on PC synced to my phone, with or without its own music player. I've tried a bunch of options such as iSyncr, Google Drive + VLC on phone, Dropbox with VLC on phone, iDrive + VLC on phone, etc. But, they all have limitations. iDrive had the best outcome as it allowed me to sync per folder, rather than individual files, but it just wasn't reliable (it would say it synced new files, but new files couldn't be found). Dropbox got messy as it didn't give me an option to save a folder and instead only allowed me to save each song/music, which got mixed up on my phone. Good Drive had the same problem. I could only download a specific file, not a folder. iSyncr had bugs that just didn't work. I just need something simple that will keep my Music Folder A, Music Folder B, Music Folder C, etc. all synced to respective folders on my phone (or a service that can keep playlist in tact instead). Please let me know if anyone knows a good solution for this.
Thank you,

I use FolderSync on my phone:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.lite
I'm not sure about it working to pc but it works with ftp so that might work. More of a manual way to sync but it has worked well for me with multiple cloud services. One setup just a couple clicks and use whatever music players you like.
The otherb sync I've used is Resilio
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.resilio.sync
Resilio can be automated.
Best of luck.
