Yeah I have too, but not to randomly like it's star to be annoying. Average once per evening sometimes not at all. I'm talking about kodi 16. Beta 1 , but and not sure about beta 2 had or not, didn't make attention yet.

does this happen to you while you are using the controller?, this happens to me only when i'm using the remote. in fact if i use only the controller it doesn't happen at all.

Using only remote, game pad not using at all with multimedia (very rarely) only gaming. But yeah telling you this is bug of kodi, coz first build of v16 didn't had, hopefully they will fix.

I think the issue is specific to the remote and not the controller
I had my first unit replaced by Amazon and the issue is still happening. Only when I use the remote though. May just return the remote and work with just the controller.
Which sucks though. Because my wife doesn't game...and the remote is supposed to be a convenient accessory for this specific function of the device.
I've copied a bunch of threads from different sites regarding this issue and forwarded them to Nvidia on the help ticket that I opened with them when I first started experiencing the issue.
Hopefully, they are working on a patch.

Xda app

Shame the XDA app forces closed on Xoom... does anyone have a workaround?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
this is a known issue and hopefully someone is working on it.
Tapatalk is basically the same app and works fine
i have the same and I paid for the app.......is anybody actively fixing this?
I have been using the XDA app since day 1. The only thing I have found I have to do is exit fully when done. I.e. I hit the back button till the app closes. If I leave it open for any significant time in the background it either gets stuck on the splash or whatever page I was on last. At that stage I force close and reopen it.

for some unknown reason the app works fine on the verizon xoom, but FCs for wifi-only; someone reported the same problem on the wifi-only transformer, so its got something to do with honeycomb without mobile data (some kind of id# or something?)

Wow. Really? So THAT'S why it crashes on tablets? I had always assumed it had something to do with the resolution being much higher than on a phone, but since you say the Verizon XOOM works, that blows that theory out of the water... I am going to see if my superiors have any idea why this is happening or if they can contact Tapatalk to fix the problem.
Fyi this problem does not exist on tapatalk.. has to do with something xda does differently

I have the Verizon xoom as well and I never had a force close. It does act weird sometimes, but it does on my nexus one as well.

Also goes along with what I've heard in the past... From what I've read, Tapatalk's standard client used to have this issue, but then it was fixed. Perhaps the XDA app can be rebased to the newer Tapatalk.
I have had no FC's on my WiFi only Canadian MZ604.
What I do have, though, is a weird scrolling issue on certain threads where the text will copy itself onto every pixel it crosses until I stop scrolling and the screen refreshes.
I did note that it seems to happen mostly with hyperlinked text. Another possibility is text that has had it's color changed. Will have to play around with it some more to confirm this.
i just use the browser now. Its no big deal with the bigger screen.
It would FC on my Nook Color as well, which is wifi only. I was hoping for a better experience once I got my Xoom wifi (I also got the paid app) but it behaves exactly the same: as soon as I log in it FCs.

This happens to me on both xda and tapatalk, I think its a combo of hyperlinks and long texts... weird thing is, it happens in quoted text too, but not in the post that quotes the text

I would agree with you, but vBulletin forums (like XDA) are unacceptably laggy in typing posts on the Xoom.
That, and it's good to have options.

Apps that don't work for you

So far I have two. No biggie, I know there are some that don't work with ICS.
My Harley Davidson screen app w/ Willie G spinning Icon -intend to contact developer.
And Grand Theft auto(latest?) hosed. Screen went grey. It may have just been processing. I did not wait long. I deleted it 'cause I'd never even played it before and could not be bothered.
Have not played with a whole lot of apps yet. I don't do a lot of games. But I have a ton of camera and photo apps.
I'm liking this phone.
Scrabble is completely unnusable. It was a crap app to begin with, but it loads like 9 repeated frames lol.
Need For Speed - Shift...for some reason, it will not d/l
Asphalt 6 says that the device is not compatible request a refund.
Netflix app is working, but soft key buttons stay on while watching, which is annoying.

Max Payne. It sorta works. Graphics are fine. But the user interface hasn't been setup for our phone making it unusable. I am sure it will be updated soon.

Mass Effect: Infiltrator.
Downloads the extra data fine, but crashes at different times on the headphone screen or in the opening movie.
Light Flow is completely forked on mine.. LED stays on randomly, the phone announces when you're opening & closing folders.. very odd.
Can anyone confirm whether or not fifa 12 shows up in the market? And for anyone who has bought it does it work properly?

I need S3 owners to test my game (high rated)

Hi,
I have an online word game on Google Play, it does well but i got some complains from only S3 owners about not connecting to the server during startup, although i got no issues on s3s.
Could any S3 owner please test the game and tell if it works? I really appreciate it.
Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ercu.wordfind
The game is working fine..no probs in connecting to the server
Thank you.
May be a localization or DNS issue, i'll be glad if anybody from US try it.

Works fine for me (in the UK). Looking at the reviews, only one S3 user complaint about the issue you mentioned. It could be a problem on his end.

Thank you. When you sort the comments by time, you may see two comments:
* Kevin - September 7, 2012 - Samsung Galaxy S3 with version 1.5.2
Would love to give 5 stars
I was never able to play it...it always says "connecting to sever" and than..."can not connect" I've tried to uninstall but same thing...aww well
* Karl - September 5, 2012 - Samsung Galaxy S3
Very bad
Just connects to server and fails every time on my s3
These are the only bad reviews for the game, so it made me conclude like it's specific to s3s.

Game is working fine for me in Germany. Maybe they had a bad connection that day. Good game though!!!

Works also fine here in Austria the only "issue" I faced is that it lets you confirm to leave the game, when you press the back button while you play, but returns you to the main screen which is meant that way, I guess, but maybe something with return to main screen would be better as text instead.
All over nice game, keep it up
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Thank you for the advice: )
You're right about the text confusion, but here is the reason: when you join the currently playing game it has endless game play. You play next round when it starts automatically. So here close means exiting that game loop and returning to main menu and because of this it's text is "close the game", not "exit the game".
I hit my daily thanks limit : ( I want to thank everybody, but should try next day.

I think i've figured out the problem. On ICS 4.0.4, the system is very aggressive for memory and destroys unused things immediately, so this made the game stopped. The update is on the way, we will see if it's the case from the comments.
work fine to me too

SixAxis app does not work with N10 :(

Well...I finally rooted and unlocked my device today only to find out that the sixaxis app does not work with the N10. It always fails to configure bluetooth and ends up messing up the WiFi and requiring a reboot. Huge downer as this is one of the reasons I bought an N10 was to use my PS3 controller on it.
Has anybody had any luck with Sixaxis and the N10?
Did you run the compatibility checker on it? If that doesn't help, you should email the developer. He probably just needs to update it for 4.2.
Yeah. It doesn't even load the local Bluetooth address. I'm not sure if he even supports the app anymore as there has not been an update on the website since December 2011. I emailed but curious if anyone has gotten it to work...
Edit: never mind. Posted on the play store that hes fixing it!

i changes time format from 24 to 12 it made watch boot loop any ideas??
this is the Mimi W2, right?
http://www.mimi-hk.com/product.php?id_product=23&id_lang=1
seems to me this is more of a U8 clone, it has the same mic/speaker implementation (phone audio is always on the speaker of the watch, you have to switch manually)
also, the Smartwatch2A.apk that can be downloaded for notifications looks/works exactly like BTNotifier that comes with the U8
and one of the U8 firmware updates changed the icons from black/white to color...

The reason I'm asking because I found a similar smartwatch for $70 shipped free from GearBest now: http://www.gearbest.com/smart-watches/pp_70658.html - very tempted!!! MIMI W2S doesn't have camera, uses your phones camera for remote, but everything else is similar and very Gear-like
