Mine worked now, but turning 3d buildings on makes the app lag a lot....kind'of useless in my opinion. What happened to the dual core super fats processor??!!

No lag here.

dont work at all ask for network

Where's tilt function?
For me it's working fine without any lag. Anyone of you know how to use tilt? In my EVO 4G there's a Look-around button which allows you to tilt the satellite view.

There was another update today, but not sure of the changelog.

can someone extract and post here the apk please cause it seems its not available in greece ATM..
Thank you..

Don't work on my tablet

If you tell me where it is, I'll do my first Android extraction for you.

Tilt works when you slide up and down with two fingers.
As for those complaining that it's not working, I'd suggest you uninstall it first and then download it from the Market again.
Don't run it yet but reboot your tablet and then turn on GPS and make sure Google Maps is working(detects your location). Now run Google Earth. It should work now.
My experience is with the US A500 and so don't know if this method will work elsewhere.

yeah it still doesnt work at all with the same stupid message

Sorry to hear that. It must be a US/non-US issue then.

[REQUEST] Tapatalk version before the major change

As many of you probably know, the new version of Tapatalk is a hot mess. I wish I've read the comments before upgrading.
Anyone happen to have the apk of the version prior to the major change in the UI and functionality?

I'll dig around in all my backups.
There are so many issues with the update:
1. The app is now ad-supported, but it's free! I paid for the app so I wouldn't see ads.
2. Forum navigation is cumbersome. Why would you force users to tap the most difficult spot to navigate?
3. Everything I load XDA, the "failed to connect to forum" toast pops up. I believe that renders the mark forum as read button useless.
4. 2 start new topic buttons while the mark as read button is hidden in a menu.
5. Color scheme.
6. There's no way to sort your subscribed subforums.
7. What's with the collage at the top once you connect to a forum? All that does is force users to scroll just to see what they want.
8. I could go on by I've got better things to do.

Yeah, it's a complete disaster. Check the attachment, that's version 4.9.5, right before the major UI redesign.
Anyway it just got updated to version 4.10.1.

^ Thanks!
I also paid for the Pro version. The strange thing is that out of the blue (about 2 weeks ago), the Pro version won't allow attachment uploads. It displayed a message to download the version from the Play Store and logging in with a Tapatalk ID to have that functionality and also (coincidentally?) the app force closes every time it's opened shortly after.
That pretty much made me install the version from the Play Store. I smell something is going on to force the current users to download the current ad version. I don't think it is fair for the ones that paid to get rid of the ads.

AFAIK there's no pro version anymore. The one attached is the free version, the one and only version of Tapatalk that's in the play store.

I know, haven't updated the app in over a year. It worked fine which is why I never upgraded.

I downloaded the apk but it won't let me install. When I tap on "Install" nothing happens, I could only tap on "Cancel"

A year lol. I just upgraded to 4.10.1. It's still sucks, I think I'm gonna go back to 4.9.5.

Either I'm really dumb and blind, or there is no option to mark a forum as read.

Try disabling Lux first before you install.

I believe I saw it in a drop-down menu somewhere. But I'd gone back to Tapatalk Pro temporarily so I don't have it handy to check.

I've also gone back to the Pro version. It is so much better without all the unnecessary bloat.

No Musicplayer in ROM?

I have the z1 with CM 12.1, already rooted. But I miss an music playing app in there. What app are you guys using for playing your local mp3s ?

Aimp player, it's free and simple

Oki thanks, will give it a try, but found also the CM Audioplayer and installed it. Strange why Zuk didn't put it on the phone

Im using The Sony Music APP .. Search for it on xda

Eleven, the default CM music player.
Don't really feel the need for another one.

I prefer to use the google music app. Although I use Spotify more often than music on my phone

Hi, newbie here so it's probably a stupid question: where did you find / how did you install the CM Audioplayer? (I'm a happy owner of a Zuk Z1 but I'm a little bit lost here)
Edit: found the apk here, installed it, seems to work so far, not sure why it was on a Moto G thread but, hey, I'm unsure about a lot of things

PowerAMP, worth to paid.

Google Photos issues?

I'm having serious issues using Google Photos with this phone. Regardless of which view I'm using (except the full-month view), the app won't let me scroll through more than a couple weeks of photos. When I click any given photo, the app pulls up a different random photo). I can see thumbnails going back much further in the full month view, but when I actually click a month to view it, the app reverts back to the current photos. Is anyone else having this issue? I use Google Photos extensively so this could be a dealbreaker for me on this phone. It doesn't happen with other phones (I've confirmed this).

Dude, I had this problem too. I thought it was just me. If you disable the app and then let it uninstall to factory version, re-enable it then it will work. DON'T LET IT UPDATE! I reviewed the app and let google know. I suggest others report it too we can't be the only ones.

Same here, fixed in the last version : 1.16.0.117494210.
Update, and delete app cache in aplications

This was happening to me too but the latest version fixed it for me..

I can also confirm, updated wiped cache, restarted, all is good.

I guess I'm the unlucky one then. I'm on the latest version and I've tried all that. Still having the issue.

Delete app cache and data, check versión ( see above) go to accounts, delete you Google account, restart the phone, add your Google account again and post results
Enviado desde mi XT1575 mediante Tapatalk

Same here, even with latest version of app
Having version 1.17.something, same problem as posted above. Resetted app to version 1.5.something (factory setting on my Moto X Style). I hope some future update will solve this behavior.

Samsung smart view app (the old one)!!

Hi all
Can someone try to run the old smart view app, which let the user cast from tv to mobile so as to have a 2nd tv on the mobile?
In fact can someone make it run on s8 (in fact I think on Nougat) and name the price for it?
Just fyi It was working fine on my s6 on 5.0 android.
Thanks

Is this a modified one or what? Can you give some more details? Just installed it but it can't find my tv although playstore's current smart view finds it ok, so it's not a matter of tv.
Do you want to upload my 'old' one which was working ok on the s6 on android 5.0?
Thanks for your time

Wasnt modified, its the original one that I had backed up

Thanks but I guess this is not the version that can cast tv's live program to mobile phone, right? It s like the new one, which doesn't either, right?

Now that I was able to resource the apk
https://www.dropbox.com/s/cjp9lipzr6bo7z8/base_3.apk?dl=0
This is the old version of smart view that was still working on android 5.0 on my s6 but it s not working on android 7.0 on my new s8. It installs ok but it stops responding when you open it. From what I ve read it wasn't working on android 6.0 as well.
This is the only version that casts from tv to mobile live, not only the other way around from mobile to tv.
So can anyone spend some time paid by me and make this app work on the s8, or in general android 7.0? I m just pointing out that this app doesn't work on modified kernel, so root is out of the way and it works only on samsung devices.
Thanks

OP where you able to get it working?
Looking for the same please. I want it to work on 7.0 on my samsung s6.

Nobody had ever replied unfortunately! I even opened a ticket to samsung, who of course answered that it's not planned to revive this feature. I don't understand, it was so useful
