Well it's been 2 days and I have yet to be informed of any AP updates in the market (that's with 53 apps. installed).
Are you all getting update notifications in the market?
yes, i've gotten several. most have not had a lot to do with honeycomb, though a couple early on did. mostly i think developers are working on updates for tablets now that the sdk is out.
I got my first update notification today.
All is well in Xoomland.
How?
How do you sign up for updates like that?
We should start a thread that lists Xoom native apps, I would myself, but I don't have enough knowledge of the Market. This is my first Tablet, and I use an iPhone for my cell.
I don't know many good apps, so I've been cautious on the one's I've been downloading.
But one thing that does get me is Google Sky Maps, its apparently been designed for a tablet. but i suppose not the xoom?
It works fine, just the initial loading screen looks choppy.
When you go into the market/My Apps, it should let you know if one of your installed apps has an update available (unless you have checked the box to allow automatic updating. I don't as I like to see what has been changed with the update).
Thx
After much debate I purchased the Motorola xoom today. I am having a huge problem with the android market not wanting to perform with examples being where downloads say they are waiting for install and such, overall not pleased withandroid3.0 market. How can I put the old market back on there so it will recognizethe apps ihave already purchased as well as better functionality. Also typing thison the doom and it is really slow. Is this typical or did I make a bad choice and should have gone withthe galaxy tab. Paid full price so no contracts, just wifi version for home use.
I have the APK for an older Android market on my Honeycomb emulator. Let me see if I can find the original link I got it from.
I think this is it:
http://ivansotof.com/2011/02/install-android-market-honeycomb-emulator
Not sure if you just need the Vending.apk file or not.
Stick with the Xoom. It'll only get better with updates.
tried it
Doesn't seem to be any different than the one already pre installed, I think what I do kind of need is something like being able to install the android market 2.2 froyo or gingerbread edition. Honeycomb a just doesn't show the apps that I have purchased or any for that matter, and that hang time issue with it stating it is trying to install and just hangs there isn't any fun typimg is a bit faster I went back to stock for the keyboard instac of using better keyboard 8 which i have been using for my croid incrdible- I guess not compatible yet with a tablet- fine and dandy I guess- but still' how can I fix the market issue, does anyone know.where I can download the 2.3 version and isntall it without havng sone kind of conflict issue with the xoom tab?
I did end up going to the market management app section in the settings and ende d up deleting all information and wiping in there and pandors that was giving me trouble installed without a problem, force closes though since there is no fix for the wifi version of the xoom' still. Still having issues with other applications with thr hangingsaying it is installing and not showing upp like it should o download screen. It will lenot switch over to the screen where you have your downloading section listed on the left hand side. After several tries it will eventually download, and give me theproper screen' at least it didwith thr oneapp i tested'. Having typin issues where it is slow to register that I am typingsndin fact at this point the typing has not even began sowing up on my screen vrustrating' perhspsi should return the xoom for the more stable galaxy tab-
weird, maybe it's an issue with your xoom. Can you still exchange it?
I find the new market to be amazing. On wifi, clicking install basically downloads/installs anything almost instantly... very very fast.

Who Can Use This Release Motorola XOOM WiFi only users – USA only
After downloading and installing the software release, you will notice:
Device Features:
- Android™ Market has been updated.
- Android™ Books has been updated.
Hope this helps
Ishan
thanks. but what device features are the referring too? still cant write to SD, no built in screen shot app.......
thanks for the info.
Anyone feels that the latest update HTK75D makes the tablet feels running slower after you have it up for awhile. Also, I feel that once I opened up the reader app, the tablet will seem to lag. I have to restart it in order to recover the performance.
My home screen seems a little laggier after the updates.
Does anybody know if the European WIFI xooms have received these updates? I flashed my XOOM to the stock US ROM and I'm thinking of going back. The flashing has caused some bizarre behaviour with the android market website (multiple devices, can't download all apps to the "new" xoom recognised as a US device. The model number is different on the us ROM (it shows xoom instead of MZ604). Oh well...

I am using a Shield TV Pro (2015) never rooted and I have stayed on 5.0.2 for all this time waiting for a stable update (6.3 sounds really stable compared to older OTAs) but now as soon as I heard about that OTA version's release,it started showing a different OTA upgrade than it should which is...version 5.2! :crying:
Please,how do I fix this ridiculous problem?
I know that this is the notorious OTA upgrade version that fails to download and fails on updating so I would probably end up bricked if I try to update to it in order to reach 6.x versions.
I am sick of being,for one,unable to use adobe flash player because it broke on 5.0.2 but I also want-ed to take the risk to get 6.3 since it wasn't getting huge amounts of major issues mentioned like every previous upgrade.
If it was at least 6.x then it wouldn't be so awful,but its that accursed 5.2 "upgrade" instead.
I seek help here because my Nvidia forum account has been compromised by bad username syndrome since they did that fused account crap and the stupid user rename function isn't openly allowed.

So.. I take it you are not rooted? only way I can see is either going through all the updates or rooting and then flashing 6.3

I read on the Geforce forums about sending a message in order to be added to the server for a full 6.3 update but I feel like that might not even work for bypassing the 5.2 version.
My main fear of it is also that it has been sitting on their server for a long time and by chance it could be messy due to the age of the upgrade files.
I also don't know if I have to wait for stability of the SSHD to optimize before updating to the next version afterward but I would probably do that just for safety.

Don't think the age of the file matters. I also read the forums and fewer than more have had problems with a OTA update, matter fact in my opinion the majority that do have a problem are not telling the full story.
I went ahead and double updated and am now on 6.3 with it performing decently from the start.
The thing that pisses me off though is that any form of swf player or adobe flash is still crashing!
Why is this happening on my stuff when others on builds 5.0.2 or newer claimed it was working for them?!?
Puffin's method is awful because quality is garbage and frame-rates are choppy even on lightweight stuff,and plus the controls don't work right and you can't access local swf files with it.
The other stuff used to work before the 5.0.2 upgrade.
I wish someone would hack the latest flash player version and get it ported to Android to be a hero to fans of ancient interwebz stuff.
Otherwise,where the hell is the ACTUAL replacement for adobe flash that allows full access to playing any SWF file in parity to how Adobe Flash does it?
And no,Adobe AIR is useless because they were jerks by making it only able to run stuff with actionscript 3.0 which leaves out a F-ton of old stuff that one wants to toy around with and even tons of new stuff that still uses the 2.0 actionscript.
I might have to drag out my old FireTV to see if it still works and use it primarily for a working SWF player device.
The main problem is that I can't just use my laptop to access swf content for prideful reasons and for risk of any recent ad attacks that aren't prevented in any filters at any given time.
Although,I guess I could set up a strong (but slower) VM to access all the SWF stuff in the (partial) safety of a computation layer in hopes I don't immediately get Spectre-d or Melt-ed anyway.

Also Nvidia recommends all with pro version let it sit for about 30 min to settle in after flashing, because of the hard drive. I saw that on the forum when people were complaining that they flashed and the shield was slow or stuttering.......You do know that more and more sites, companies, etc are phasing adobe flash player out and not using at all. Also here is some information for you to look at if you have not already....http://www.aiseesoft.com/resource/adobe-flash-player.html
Sorry to be rude but I don't give a **** about those facts,I just want mah swf players to work.
The whole point originally is that I wanted a device I could hope on to use for swf content while my other devices are safe from it since I never use flash on my laptop.
Do you know of a way to reset a Shield TV without deleting storage files at all?
I may just bypass that by storing everything I can,getting systemless root,storing the rest of it (browser cookies to retain logins) then do a clean slate and root again to restore all of my browser cookies to restore the logins.
I F * * * ING hate restrictions set by root access requirements! No easy way to export all cookies and import them back because the god-damned storage location of it all being in a root-access-only protected/locked directory.
Unless I am missing the idea of such a feature on all Android web browsers.
Yes,I am that guy who uses side-loaded web browsers on my SATV via a wireless keyboard.
Even a temporary root access would be grand,if only that kind was still feasible but with no chances of automatic damage.

only way I am aware of is being rooted and flashing the developer image, as resetting will delete the data
The thing is,that build for 6.3 is really bugged out and allegedly corrupted from the talk on the Geforce forums.
Its missing some files for Vendor which I think is greatly important.
Also,you edited when I was amidst the not caring about facts,I was only talking about the facts of them killing adobe flash.
I read in the settings about the account sync function but don't know if it also stores everything for stuff like cookies and the logins for specific stuff like side-loaded browsers such as Opera for Android.

Which build? I have the Pro the 2015 and 2017 are the same purchased mine in 2017 have been bootloader unlocked and rooted since 5.02 every new ota I wait for the developer version and flash via flashfire and I have never had one problem unless I did something wrong. I will tell you this also I know personally of people that have contacted me trying to flash the ota via twrp, you cant its encrypted, I also know of people that thought they knew but tried flashing wrong in flashfire an last not least I know of one gentleman that said his developer image was corrupt, only to find out the problem was it was not acting right with the version of magisk he had installed
Wait,that was for the 16GB device/s.
I have Shield TV Pro (2015) so there only is a chance that it is fine.
The BIG problem is that it will take literally forever to wait for everything to be done due to the large SSHD for any kind of thing.
When I asked if Magisk worked a long while back,I was told that I should use the updated SuperSU instead of Magisk because it also had systemless root added to it and Magisk was known to have stability issues.

Yep like 3 hours but you only have to do it once
Took a bit to find the best place for SuperSU but I only just found out it was put in other hands which luckily they are keeping it alive rather than doing any awful things.
Though the latest version is from nearly a whole year ago by now from May 2017 which makes it an easy chance of something going wrong from any OTA released after that last supersu version since ya never know what might make things not work at all.
Hoping I can get root working,backup all of the app stuff,overhaul the thing then test if swf players work and if they do,I will just have to root again and recover everything to regain all of my apps and data,likely using Titanium Backup since that one seems really popular as the best option for rooted users.
I can always enable full updates then take the next entire OTA to get out of root if that works at all.
Hoping it can all be done using systemless root,otherwise it kills the point of that kind of root,at least for initially backing up everything first.
Recovering all of it via the nuke-everything-once-done action with unlocking bootloader would be okay so long as it ends up working fine if I can't do it all on systemless root.
I should be able to copy/paste browser data if I have to resort to that if systemless root allows folder read/write access in granted root priveliges.
To clarify,now I am on OTA 6.3 so this thread is now moot-point.
Its running perfectly fine at first glimpse,but I do have that stupid keyboard app missing/replaced by russian keyboard issue.
I've reached out to Facebook several times regarding their android app not working on my lenovo yoga book tablet. With each update facebook releases on the playstore I keep hoping they've worked in a fix... but they haven't. Since this ONLY affects my lenovo tablet and not my other android devices, it stands to reason the problem is Lenovo.
All I have to say in response to that conclusion is, LENOVO, FIX YOUR ****!
Probably Facebook app doesn't work with i386 cores Facebook Lite works without troubles.
You have to manually look for a FB x86_64 compatible. You may find it in APK Pure and some others.
Download it, install and don't allow updates. After some months repeat the process in order to get a newer version.
