I just received the notification on my Nexus 7 regarding the system update, however I am at a crossroads if I should do it or not as i am currently setup with Tablet UI (DPI 160), all my apps and icons are nice and tightly displayed using Apex launcher and with all the posts stating that you cannot revert the DPI back down once you upgrade i am not sure what to do. Any advise as to why I should upgrade would be helpful.
Thanks,
JBIRD
i would wait as yoou wont really be able to mount any external storage until this stickmount or the nexus 7 mount app gets updated to work in 4.2
I am going to wait untill all the apps I use get updated where I know they will work.No use in haveing a new update if nothing works that I want to use on it.
It took hbo over a month to get working on jelly bean and some apps still don't work.I will wait and see before screwing them up because some things might take a while.:laugh:
I say wait because:
- we didn't get miracast
- new issues with bluetooth, specifically bluetooth audio with wifi enabled/active. Bluetooth audio already had issues in android, now it's worse.
- multi user is no good. Other users can't access your apps, unless they already own them. Haven't tried this yet, but from what I read.
- camera app lost funny faces. Big mouth, small eyes etc. Yes it's gimicky but I've had friends' kids laugh their asses off while using this. Why remove it?
- I'm getting lag (sometimes) again, similar to the pre 4.1.2 issues. Not all users are getting this but I am.
I was initially excited about 4.2 but disappointed now, considering rolling back.
Also no tablet UI. Its completely ripped out. Back to phablet mode. I'm enjoying it though.
Also Apex crashes immediately. So I'm using the stock launcher and everything.

Apex running fine for me. Dirty flash from CleanRom. I just had to reset it as the default. I seem to recall someone had problems when they restored their launcher settings and that wiping data for Apex fixed the issue.

I vote no. Too many glitches. Flashplayer stopped working. Panoramic mode in camera FCs camera app. I'm considering rolling back as well.
I also vote NO. Dolphin Browser won't start, Firefox crashes, cannot access Internet when tethered to my iPhone etc.
No, give it a week or so

no, definitely NO! USB not working, development access required to stop Android sending every installed app back to Google, several more other apps not working (such as MX player...). No, no way, I will be switching from stock to something other with 4.1.2, because it is unusable this way...
Thanks everyone, appreciate the input. After this i am definitely going to wait

Hey tkelly,
You must be one of the lucky ones. I have been reading that the usb directories have changed due to the new instituted multi user option. Are you able to see the contents of your folder on various accounts you setup?
Thanks,
JBIRD
I just reverted back to 4.1.2 because of the issues in 4.2. I'll wait until things seem to be a bit better before I upgrade again.
Nope. Too much stuff broken with 3rd party apps. And its hot a slight case of the jitters. Project Butter seems to be on holiday.

Can you fill the rest of us in on how to get Stickmount to work?
Well I don't have multi user ATM. But all I did was I rooted with wugfresh toolkit(sorry if I spelt it wrong). And the I just plug it in and it said USB mounted or what it normally says. Yeah I can veiw my files on it. I will try with muli user on and will report later
Edit
Stick mount doesn't support multi user son only the primary user can use stick mount. And the the second user I had set up did not read USB storage. So its still working but only for primary user

Hello.
I have this problem (only with google play only with nexus7): the app updates are ssooooo slooowww (really slow...).
It's so strange. I had no problem a week ago.
I don't understand: i have tried:
-delete google account
-empty the cache of service, google play and so one + reboot...
And nothing.
The strangest thing is the other function are normal: Nexus 7 runs well, chrome runs well... all the internet services are perfect...
An idea???
Thanx
i hope im in the right section ^^
Have you checked your free space? I know my updates slow to a crawl when I am down to my last 500mb of space
i have plenty of space (32gb)...And i have some problems ONLY with google play app updates... nothing else! :crying:
up... please
So you are sure it couldn't be related to your internet connection because all the other things are running as well as before?

so it's appeared that my others android devices have the same issues!!!!
(google play don't download)
Perhaps my box? But i haven't had probleme till now!
Update: fixed with latest update.
Anyone that has an S4 and uses the sixaxis controller app; have you managed to get touch profiles working?
Games that natively support game pads work fine, though those which require manual touch profiles do not (for me at least).

I believe you can connect the PS3 controller to the phone using a cable without needing root (could be wrong though)

Have been trying to get touch profiles to work on the S4 for quite some time until I realized it wasn't just me.
Really hope this can be fixed with a Sixaxis app update. Are there any other alternatives for now? I'm guessing not.
turns out the sixaxis app developer has being working on a fix... he sent me a new .apk to test and it works perfectly! Hopefully he'll update it to the play store soon.

Yes. I do that and it works, but only works for some games. I would like to map out the buttons on unsupported games. So far I need root for to do that because the apps available are meant for phones that do not have PS3 compatibility by default.

yes well I believe there is no other way... touch emulation I'm certain, requires root, and this cannot be done otherwise.

Hi,
I'm using my new S4 and I cant get the touch profiles to work
I tested on Dead Trigger, follow the instructions carefully, but they don't work.
Have the developers made the fix already?
Nevermind: I figured out that I was using an old version of the app
Is there any way to use apps like Justin.tv in Galaxy s4?
Won't let me play the tv channel cuz the flash player doesn't work for S4 devices
Plz help!!
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
You must install flash player then use a browser with it enabled. Dolphin is okay but fire fox is more stable when it comes to flash.
You can find the adobe flash player apk in themes and apps

Boat Browser also supports flash
I have yet to find a browser besides Boat that works. And many sites require flash 11.5 or higher. Its just a bust. Not sure what's up with the mobile world these days.

Justin.tv doesn't have the android app out yet- at least according to their site.
BUT, justin.tv does in fact work from firefox vers 24 (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox) with flash 11.1.115.81 (http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/android/11.1.115.81/install_flash_player_ics.apk).
I have mine set up that I click to activate the plug in...I press it, wait a few seconds then the video loads. You need to kill firefox if it's running in the background when you install flash. After you restart firefox, you should be golden.

Well, in the nicest way possible- I'm not gonna d/l the one you posted and install it...(and I won't ask anything about the version or if it's legitimate or not). But I can say I'll install the one from the market I found by looking up the app by the filename of what you posted in the app store there's a free version for it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.bantamstudio.streamiefree&hl=en and it does seem to have some playback issues.
By further looking at some of the user comments of that app, I would think that it's a general issue occurring with it and you may want to either spring for the paid version (for real) or contact the developer of the app. It would seem to be that they know best what's occurring with it and can make the adjustments for things to work as expected. Also, by the comments on the reviews, it sounds like the developer broke something when they did their last update.
EDIT: Pretty much says it all in the description of the app in the play store, buddy:
"FLASH IS REQUIRED. Streamie will help you install flash if you don't have it already.
Please rate Streamie 4 or 5 stars if you feel we deserve it. If not, please contact us and tell us how we can do better.
If you have any bugs please contact us directly so that we can quickly support you.
Currently only Justin.tv and Twitch.tv streams are available. We are working hard to add other video services to Streamie.
KNOWN ISSUES:
* The flash player will stop playing if you touch the playing video. This is a problem with the player that Justin.tv provides. We are working on a solution to this.
* Sometimes Justin.tv or Twitch.tv will take a long time to respond to a request. Try refreshing.
* If you have an ad blocker on your phone, it can take a long time to load the stream. This is because the ad request needs to time out."
Just download the last compatible most updated installer from Adobe it's in there dl archive and works on s4.

Yeah, that's what everyone else told them too...and the links were already provided....it's not necessarily flash that's the issue, as indicated my previous post and by the OP uploading the apk they're using... So, that's a pretty good indicator it has to do with the app they're using- that - coupled with the information on the app in the playstore reviews/comments and known issues in the app description - as also indicated in my previous post...oh and it's also outlined how the installer for flash you mention (that was mentioned earlier in this thread) ends up also working in firefox as indicated in my post prior to my last one as well...so I think that's a fairly good indicator that flash or installing flash isn't the crux of the problem...
call me silly, but if I could take the liberty to take a wild guess here, I think it's the app....okay maybe not such a wild guess, but it's the streaming app they're using- as indicated in my previous post...

Wonder if it could be because of the os version too - 4.2.2 on the S4. I think the S3 & note are still on 4.2.1.
I know it was like that with the Crackle app & honeycomb on some devices there was issue playing for a bit.
Anyhow, glad folks got something figured out and/or alternatives.

flash player re-installed (following the version mentioned by you guys) and tried 2 load one of the twitch channels , it took around 45secs to load the channel (Call of duty ) and the stream of that channel was clear with no lag.
thanks again everyone for helping me :victory:
I have downloaded this game on my SM-N9005 with 4.4.2. When I click on play I have force closed. I have tried many rom with full wipe but it doesn't solve my problem. Do you know solutions or any ideas? thanks
(sorry for my bad english)
I guess it's a 4.4.2 problem. I'm still on 4.3 and it's working a like a charm here
I did buy it tho, maybe you didn't?

I have downloaded the game on Google Play Store. Maybe it's a problem with KitKat but I would like to know if other people have this problem
A lot of apps, particularly games, force close on 4.4.2.
Something to do with the (lack of) write permissions to external SD, if I recall correctly.
It is closing on selecting anything from the main menu on HTC One + Android 4.4.2. I'm waiting for a refund now.
