[Q] Anyone besides me, just give it back??

After the aggravation of no flash support, multiple screen freezes, and the sometime slow buggy screen response. The screen is great for viewing though! I decided to just send it back. To be completely truthful I would not have bought it, when not supporting flash!! Reminds too much of Apple!! I hate when companies force me into, or in this case out of something I want just because they feel like it!! If they think it's a security risk, make it a user option! When you buy a router, do they force you to use encryption? No!! It's my tablet & I should be able to watch flash videos if I want!!
And before anyone starts saying, you can get around it by using firefox or dolphin browsers, you can't! At least not completely, they are buggy!
Just want to see if any others, traded it in so to speak!!

Same boat as you, i had it for a while then gave it back. I ended up sticking with my infinity.

Mmm... Flash is no longer supported mate all across the tablet/mobile world. Besides if your not willing to side load the flash apk then I suggest you go buy a laptop. Flash is buggy anyways but for me flash is nice on my N10. I Can watch my Hulu through the browser. If you want flash you got to do a little work to get it working. Just like any android tablet nowadays. The issues you stated can you be a bit more specific? I haven't had any problems on performance on this thing. Browsing is very quick. Just opening apps and loading my gmail is very fast compared to the Infinity I had. Even using ttorrent, I can actually download a 3gig HD movie without sacrificing performance. No laggyness at all compared to other previous tablets I've owned.

Question for OP, did you pay a restocking fee? When I swapped my 16gigger with 32 it was like a 15% fee!
Back on topic though, I guess I just was one of those users that got a bad tf700 and had a terrible experience. My N10 has been running superbly. The only reason I doubt my assumption is b/c I went through 3 tf201's before finally giving up and waiting on the tf700.

Flash works fine on the Nexus 10 and it is Adobe who dropped Flash, not so much Google. Adobe said they were dropping all mobile flash support.
Guess I was one of the lucky ones because my Nexus 10 is perfect. Better than the Xoom I had, the Transformer tf101 I bought my wife and the Galaxy Tab 10.1's I got my parents.
No issues at all....and working flash

I really don't understand how Flash Player is so important enough to justify a device purchase decision, especially since it's becoming obsolete... Might just be my browsing habits, but there are 2 sites total that I use that would be "somewhat" pointless without flash player. Just 2. And those 2 sites I could care less about on a tablet (one of the sites is YouTube; which has a standalone app on Android lol)

So in a few months when either all Android tablets are updated and no longer support flash, or your tablet that does, is completely outdated, you are just going to NOT own a tablet ..
At least that is what I get from your "reasons".
Honestly you don't have to justify returning the tablet, if you can't take change I suggest you move to the north pole or something where pretty much nothing changes.
These posts about "Why I don't like the N10" or "Why I am too lazy to sideload flash" or " X tablet is Better than Y tablet" are REALLY REALLY getting old ..
I am in these forums because I own said device, not because I want to talk about how I returned it, or how much I hate it ..
Should be a rule if you don't own the device and are not a developer, leave said forum.

@OP
It looks as though you don't have any clue what you are talking about. The nexus 10 definitely supports flash. You don't need anything but the flash.apk to use it on any browser. It is the users choice to use it or not. And please do a little research next time before you try and slander or put down a company (Google) for something that they have nothing to do with. It's Adobe that doesn't support flash on the mobile platform. Not Google. All you would've needed to do is take 11 seconds to sideload one app and you have flash. Either way. If you don't have this tablet, what does your opinion of it matter here in the Nexus 10 forums? It doesn't. Move along to the next device,complain about that one, and waste more space in another forum with your opinions.

I agree with you 100% and I wish happy owners like me, who are the vast majority, could hide threads like this to make it easier to focus on threads of interest.

While many of us xda users are capable enough to search and find solutions to Chrome's lack of flash, there is an app I used to keep handy when I encountered a site w/ flash. Its called Flashify : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nightshadelabs.anotherbrowser

I'm using Ocean browser and this apk worked fine for me.

Just use puffin browser whenever you need flash. It loads the content on remote servers then sends it back to you. It can even emulate a touch pad or a game controller for flash gaming.
It works on iOS too if you care about that.

I had an Infinity for two months before I got the N10. Each person's experience is different but my Infinity experience was laggy and frustrating. I found myself rebooting frequently trying to make it speedy. I disabled most of the Asus stuff, it just didn't "feel" like a great experience. I will say Asus is on top of updates and the bloatware is minimal by comparison to other non-Nexus tablets, of course.
The N10, for me, is just smooth. Living with the N10 is just better for me.

No one had an answer last time I asked, does anyone know now if there is a fix for flash/browser yet, so when I hit full screen it doesn't crash the browser? I tried all of them, they all do it

Developer huh?? Like I said flash is buggy on the nexus 10! I did side load the apk flash pack & it only works partially!! Go to any site that uses flowplayer to show flash, hit the full screen button & the 10's screen goes black & does a partial lock up!! The only way you can move off that screen now is hit the home button!! And its not the flowplayer program, because it works fine on my PC!! It will do the same thing on your 10 too, most likely!! Take your personal assumption & attack where it belongs, off a cliff!! My point was I don't like Google, Android, Adobe, or developers taking things away just because they feel like it!! Remember the software companies work for the public, not the other way around!!
If I knew flash would not work properly, as i stated before. I would not have bought it to begin with!! I believed the developers that there is a workaround, there's not!! At least not one that works 100%.

Task650 knows what he is saying and we are all just trying to help you and correct you because what you think is not true. Yes there is a way to get flash working 100%
Here is a link to get flash working 100% you will need to unlock and root your device if you want it to work 100% Yes I'm sure that site you spend time on should work as well. It worked for me and I was able to watch Hulu. I would test it out for you but I just unrooted to exchange my N10.

I believe I will be charged the 15% restocking fee, credit not issued yet. Apple customer service is way better in that regard. I think in the future, I will wait to see the device in a retail store first, save time & trouble on both ends!

So then... what mobile platform are you going to buy in a year or two? Plus, it's the mobile Flash player that's causing the problems. That's purely Adobe's fault for dropping it.
I can tell that your "multiple screen freezes, and the sometime slow buggy screen response" are from fullscreening Flowplayer and being unable to get out. You make it sound like a generalization throughout the whole device.
Anyway, were you talking about this?

Thanks for the helpful response, unlike some other members that tell me I can't believe my own eyes!! Mine is heading back already but this may help others with the same problem!! Personally, I like flash & wish it would stick around. I take offense when others tell me what I can & can't have, especially when I'm paying them & they're not paying me!!

OUYA camera

So, I'm waiting for my Ouya right now, should be here within the week, and I'm wondering if anyone has found a camera that works with it. I have a Microsoft Lifecam HD mounted on my 42" HDTV, and if anyone could help me with figuring out how to make it work I'd be eternally grateful. I'd love to be able to Skype and whatnot on my TV without having to use my PC. Also totally unrelated, but how does everyone like theirs so far? I've been seeing a lot of negative stuff about the Ouya, I just basically need some confirmation that it does, in fact, rock.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Hm I might try to hookup my USB cam to it. I don't know if it works but sideloading a videochat app (Skype?) and trying it out should be fun. Might do it this week.
And I have to say, despite the bad reviews, my OUYA does rock. I already spent 20 dollars on apps and countless hours in front of the TV. Something I never saw me doing ever again.
I don't know what the people are expecting from it. Of course you don't need it if you already have a PS3/360 and/or a Smart TV but some seem to not understand that.
I hope the XDA community catches on to this thing and development speeds up so we can have nice stuff on our TV.

Tell OUYA We Need a Way into Recovery

There's no hardware keys to press on the OUYA to get it to boot into fastboot/recovery mode. They seem to think it is a tiny minority that they shouldn't have to care about, but I don't especially feel like bricking my device. I figured I'd try to drum up a little more support on XDA.

You just use a USB keyboard for the hardware keys.
Or download a Reboot into recovery app.
I'm not sure how Ouya could resolve this unless you are requesting a feature set on the next wave of hardware.
As far as I know there are already several custom ROMs and recovery solutions?

From what I understand, the USB keyboard can only be used to crash the startup into recovery using the sysreq key trick, but if it can't get past the init.d file, you're stuck in NVflash mode without the Secure Boot Key, essentially bricking your device. So now our only real hope is that OUYA changes their mind and gives us the SBK, or some sympathetic dev from their camp leaks them.

Ahhh. I didn't know it basically crashes your system.
Oddly the Ouya is the only device I don't want to hack. I don't see anything advantageous about flashing anything.
I'd be curious to know what Ouya says. They're box is hackable but I'm not sure if they would like people flashing to other ROMs that doesn't use their market.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

you guys do know that some apps like quickboot (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot&hl=en) can boot your Ouya into recovery mode? What I would like to see is getting the SBK like TopherBarnett suggested so that at least we can all be guaranteed our Ouya won't get bricked permanently because the android community is innately tinkerers when it comes to android softmods and customization.

How about bugfixes? How about a way to continue using the device three years down as a media player even after OUYA 2017 is out and the first revision of the console is increasingly abandoned? How about a way to back up your games and saves? Maybe even just a Link2SD type solution for the increasingly meager seeming 8GB internal storage?
Look, I'm in the same boat as you--the OUYA is the first Android device that I've owned where I haven't really felt a burning need to root and install a custom rom on it as soon as I could. Most of my Android devices haven't lasted a week before I had them rooted, using a custom recovery and a custom rom without the OEM crapware infested sludge slowing me down. The OUYA is the only one where I've actually used the defaults and said to myself, "Yeah, I could learn to really like this..."
Only there are some outstanding bugs that simply don't seem to be a priority and aren't getting fixed. The OUYA team has demonstrated an unwillingness to openness and an inability to communicate to its users. In the past whenever I had these types of issues, it was the community which solved most of my issues, long after the manufacturer had moved on to seek new dollars. The only reason I bought the OUYA was because of the promised openness of the console and the ability to use it with custom firmwares.
So, despite being mostly happy with my purchase I still want the promised openness that I bought the OUYA for in the first place, even if I do like the current looks of the software and want to stay as stock as possible. Otherwise there will be many who like myself will simply not bother with the next iteration of the console and no one will need to worry about what the 2017 edition OUYA looks like because there won't be one.
--bornagainpenguin

I agree but I feel this article is being a little too harsh. Ouya people aren't stupid. They know whats up with the hardcore guys like us. It's not even been out a month (July 4th or something). I'm sure they are balls to the wall with getting devs on board and bug fixes and just making the thing run properly for the 95% of people who use it the way it was intended.
Once they get their crap together and things start to begin flowing naturally and they find a little free time, they might think up something.
Has anyone tried Rom Manager or anything? There has to be some way to Reboot into Recovery other then a hardware solution.
But I just don't get it. There IS a way to hack this thing... but people are complaining that it's a little dicey. Try hacking a Xbox by taking the whole thing apart and flashing a firmware to the disc drive which requires a special PC adapter. BrickCentral if something were to go wrong. Killing your device is a taken risk when you do anything done here.
I really can't see Ouya doing anything about this. If they go out of their way to make it easy to run stock android, then it might turn Ouya devs off. Perhaps once the unit is EOL, they'll provide a final rom with some extra recovery options.

There are a number of ways to boot into recovery: adb, third party apps like Quick Boot, terminal emulators. But there is currently no way to do it through hardware.
Essentially, we're missing the equivalent of "volume up+power" most of us are familiar with from rooting other devices. This makes soft bricks pretty much the same as hard bricks. And that's the problem.

Like Oscar_david pointed out... these are all software solutions to a hardware problem....
IF, for example, you flash an improper kernel or something goes haywire enough to cause it not to boot far enough in to atleast enable adb... you have a softbrick that can NOT be fixed by any software solution.
Sadly the real solution is one we probably will never get... and that's via unlocked bootloader or the keys so we can flash from bootrom recovery

It's mad that the OUYA guys omitted a hardware key from their design - I can't think of any other Android arm SoC based mini computer that doesn't have a pin hole button to enter recovery. All the mini stick computers like the mk802 and Google TV boxes like Pivos have this feature...

That's the thing--I could have bought a Pivos, but didn't because I wanted to have the best of both worlds and play games as well as videos. I thought the OUYA would offer that to me, but the longer it takes to fix things the less hopeful I become.

Upgraded to 2.0, Android 5.1 problems

I find that the device has lost much tablet functionality. The screen does not auto rotate and stays in landscape, there is no owner information tab to display on lock screen, Amazon apps and instant video will not sync. The device will not cast a screen anymore to a roku3. In general the 5.02 Android version 1.5 was a much better tablet user experience at least for me. I almost wish for a way to downgrade back 'til this is sorted! I had hoped Jide would not grow so fast that they dropped their focus of great software on adequate hardware. They now seem to have lost their way. I had supported as a kickstarter for ultra and mini with the thinking that they can help the developing world with that proposition......now chasing Intel x86 at the failing of the kick starter supported user experience. Quite a few titles from the Google play store do not run any longer on Remix OS 2.0. At least the GPS, camera, keyboard, Bluetooth, still seem to work. I had hoped this hardware and Jide would end the constant "testing" concept as it seems like working on custom ROMs again! My Pipo M6 pro is still pretty darn useful on custom ROMs! I hope Jide regains their focus! Great UI, good enough hardware!

Maybe a general Jide ***** forum thread should be developed?
I started this thread, because like you I lurked for awhile over there and it is just kumbaya crapola. I haven't rooted the ultra tablet because it is just o.k. hardware platform. More interested in their more with less proposition if attainable. The mini makes a great developing world pc to get past a phone...
I think it smart to be working with XDA and X86 as the more crappy old PC's that can be !made useful the better. It's amazing the folks wanting to make these their entire command center for a home theater. Maybe they should write code and get a PI of whatever flavor they want!
Anyway, I was hoping to hear from other Remixers who've put 2.0 on thier Ultra, and what issues they have had. I do not see Jide responding to any issues anywhere....just kumbaya.
I think they were hoping to be bought up before they actually need to run a business! Perhaps just another piece of Android technology from the CH. Ina corp that is build it and move on.
I thought their concept of more with less was good for the developing world as opposed to less with more ala Apple and MS. Frankly I've been pretty happy with Nexus devices and cheap hardware on custom roms.(also a more with less proposition) My Pipo M6 pro on custom roms with a Logitech keyboard does everything this can all be it slower.
We'll see if Jide delivers, or fades....I am sure they are in over the heads, the fact that people want to root or custom to! Tells you their software solution may not be needed. Their hardware does not warrant development more than Android sticks do.
They claim to be making themselves a software outfit, but the Nexus 9, Cube and other devices have not seen any love lately.
Time will tell. Back to 2.0 update issues for the remix ultra...

I'm running the new 2.0 update and have root. You just need to boot into the CWM recovery (or flash it) that was posted in the old Jide forums, then flash the latest SuperSU zip from Chainfire. I haven't tested swapping out the stock launcher yet, as I'm really digging the new features, like desktop mode. AdAway worked perfectly, so I can confirm that root is working for at least some aspects.

Did Google calendar install and is usable? Mine can't write to drive, installed but says calendar storage is not turned on in system? Also their stupid feedback link on the shut down screen does not work since no feed back app in drawer. Did your upgrade install one that works? For whatever reason Amazon app store won't sync apps....do you use any Amazon stuff? Is it good? Trying to decide if I should blow it away and re upgrade if mine did not get all it should...seems to be at least stable and most of the hardware does seem to function correctly outside of my display seems to ghost quite terrible after the upgrade! Also Google photos seems unable to see device folders and g+ loads an app that still puts a photos app into your device....real odd!

Google Calendar fails to load on mine for the same reason. My install didn't include a feedback agent (and I think that's common across everyone's builds). I haven't tried the Amazon apps yet, so I can't comment on their usability. I will say that my display was ghosting hardcore even before the upgrade, so the 2.0 upgrade didn't affect that one way or the other. I just tried the Google Photos app and it sees my wallpaper folders in the /SDCARD partition OK, so I'm not sure what's happening on your device for it not to see them.

I can't believe the old CWM v6.0.5.1 still works on the new update and more importantly, no one has figured out how to get TWRP or a "newer" version of CWM working? I guess, if it ain't broke, don't fix it?
Thanks for the information. Will upgrading to "2.0" wipe the userdata? I don't care about re-installing apps, etc... just worried about all my media content on the device currently.

I used Kingroot as on device root. Is working so far, but can't use SuperSU. Need to stick with kingroot...

As the instructions say save/backup your data! It seemed to be a complete erase reinstall from what mine did...be sure to pop out your micro sd as some discussions made it sound like sometimes it got caught up in the fun......?

Thanks. Then I guess I'm going to have to wait a while. I've got too many .mkv files on the device and it would take forever to transfer > PC < back to Tablet.

So I tried this with my ultratablet, just wanted to boot to recovery first to make sure it works. Doing a "fastboot boot recovery.img" I get the remix logo but it doesn't ever boot into cwm it just locks up. Anything special I need to do before?

Procedure & Files for upgrading Mad Catz Mojo

Due to the recent price drop for the MCM there has been some renewed interest on fb in the MCM. It took many hours to collect the files and figure out how to get it going right so to save others some time I put an instruction PDF together along with all the files you need.
It's located in a public google drive folder located at:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8TeTD5Bph9dMkJyX1N5ZktBcHM

Thnx Phoenix, yes i bought one today (wednesday delivery) and was surfing around clipping and downloading stuff. about the MOJO. This looks easy enough to use. Thank you for your work already done !
Still in doubt if i want android TV installed or CM as i bought also a android TV remote with it (not even sure if these work but i costs only $4). Love the shields laucher/desktop.

Got one also start play with it now .....look cool and fast.

thanks a lot OP. very helpful.

Excellent work and thanks, @Phoenix4848! Don't forget that there are alternative methods of flashing, and also other ROMs out there. I recommend setting up Fastboot just as a safety net; it can save your bacon if something goes wrong with Flashify. This XDA section is a gold mine of info on the MOJO, but you don't need that link, do you?

Thank you for the feedback. Yes I want to install Remix OS on a different mojo; I won't attempt that until I have Fastboot up.
I created the folder/link for a kodi box support group on fb. The procedure is simple enough for the average user and it's important mojo owners get rooted and SuperSU installed - there is a piece of ransomware that is targeting Android 4 devices. CM 12.1 is stable and user friendly - and it's android 5.1 which will run the newer versions of Kodi.
Adding it here was an afterthought.

Good thought, even if it was after. You don't need fastboot to install RemixOS, or any other one, but if your MOJO is soft-bricked and you can't get into TWRP recovery you can fastboot boot the recovery and flash from that. You can also fastboot flash the recovery. And BTW you do not necessarily need MoDaCo's fastboot, if you're set up for other Droids like I was you can use your existing fastboot setup. I find it easiest to do from Linux.
Yes, I like the Lollipop ROMs myself, a huge advance over KitKat (IMHO they shouldn't have bothered to release KK). And Marshmallow is even better, much to my amazement. I wish I had the extra time to learn to port ROMs myself, there'd be a MM ROM out for the MOJO about now!

Fastboot set up?

Not a clue. But here's a couple things to try:
1) Call or e-mail Amazon tech support
2) Try a different ROM on the MOJO

Remix maybe?

Probably not a problem with the Mad Catz device probably a problem with the OS. Stock is Android 4.2, CM doesn't seem to work with every player. Remix works with more players but I don't know if it will work with Prime. I'll try later.

It really is isn't it? Once you get over the hurdle of flashing a decent ROM, you're set. Fantastic little gadget. I was very lucky to get it for £60 here in the UK. I don't think I've ever had emulation play so well on anything before.

thank you ...for reply and advice now I will try to flash the new ROM I have to read more instruction.... again thanks

OK I have chat with Amazon IT tech he said most game console can't play Amazon video that the end of it and I get $5 for the next purchase. I will install the new ROM next...wish me luck!
PS: I still have doubt some of us have Amazon prime member install the video app to see ..is he right? thanks

I'm a Prime member but it'll be a couple weeks before I get a real chance to fiddle with it, so if nothing more comes up to prevent it, maybe I'll try it on CM12.1 then. Too many irons in the fire now...

Last year, there was a workaround to play Prime videos via the Dolphin Browser with flash activated. However, ever since Amazon Prime Video dropped Flash support, it's no longer working.
Prime was the reason I bought my first MOJO, ended up selling it when the the workaround stopped working. As of now, I use the (second) MOJO for Kodi and the Youtube App only.
It's truly a shame we can't use it for a service we pay for, especially when they claim on their website that all android systems (>4.0) are supported.
I haven't tried any other custom ROMS since the stock meets my needs for now(minus Prime Video). But please do let us know if it works on the custom ROM you try.

I just got Amazon Video working on the Remix ROM. No tricks, it just works.
Additional note Xposed also works on that ROM. And Paragon should offer NTFS support. I like Remix - next step get a HDD working.
