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 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've got a euro wifi xoom, but with us stock rom ;-)
so basically, its the same as you. but i havent found any lag whatsoever. all i can feel is the upcoming ics looking at new market.
It's been about three weeks since I got my Shield TV. Everything's running as expected except Kodi.
There hasn't been a single day where I used it without crashing for once - more like freezing I had to force stop. But I force stop Kodi once and if it freezes the second time, I have to restart the whole system since force stop is not available...
Bottomline is that Kodi is glitchy af when played around via Nvidia Shiled android TV. Am I the only one with this opinion?
I play with Lodi a little but always go back to Plex. Plex is awesome especially with the plug in called SS-Plex

I haven't had any problems running Kodi on my Shield TV.
My guess would be that it's not Kodi per se that is causing the freezes and the reboots.. It's likely one of the addons you installed that is the culprit.
Kodi takes a lot of unwarranted crap for 3rd party addons that are not officially supported by them that causes problems for the end user. If all the addons are officially support by the Kodi team then I would goto their site and describe your problem... If not, then start by removing them one at a time to see if the problems persist.
Also, Are you rooted ? Using custom rom ? Using alpha v17 of Kodi ?.. Hard to offer more advise w/o more info.
You might try a different version of Kodi, I am running 16 with no problems.
Also you can install SPMC as another install of "Kodi", they co-exist without any problems. So you will have two installs to play with, try different setups.
The person who is developing SPMC, uses a NSTV for the development.
SPMC is much better
I agree with burkett375. SPMC is much better. It's actually created by the lead Kodi android developer that has left Kodi. It's more optimized for Android Tv' devices and the latest version 16.2 has integrated voice search for SPMC. http://spmc.semperpax.com/
In general with KODI / SPMC you need to clear you cache and purge packages. Uninstall any addons or repos that not longer work to keep your system clean. I hear some people have issues with kodi downloaded directly from the playstore so it may be a good idea to download from the website and transfer it to your device.
First thing I did when I got my shield was to upgrade the Kodi( I believe it was 15 version at the time) , this was prior to the shield update.
I then used the Chris B wizard the beast ..check it out on youtube and I have not looked back, it is very smooth and has never crashed for me...hope it helps

Interesting... I use Kodi pretty much everyday, on many different devices (Windows, Samsung Android tablet, kid's amazon fire tablets, Shield TV, iMac, iPad, MX2 boxes...) and never have any single issue with it. Never force close, never crashes, always plays anything I throw at it. This is I think the most accomplished open source software that exists. I have used it for many years, went through many versions, and absolutely love that piece of software. Just saying "Kodi on Nvidia Shield Android TV sucks" without any detail of what you are trying to do with Kodi when it crashes is an insult to those developers who put so much of their personal time aside for us to freely download and enjoy their work.
Please take a look at this post from their website concerning non-official Kodi addons:
https://kodi.tv/the-piracy-box-sellers-and-youtube-promoters-are-killing-kodi/
For those who have mentioned SPMC, thank you, I never heard of it before!! Being developed by their original Android lead developer seems legit enough for me to test it out!
There's some strife with the lead developer of SPMC and the Kodi foundation. That's why he left but it works to our advantage as he's implementing things the regular version of kodi doesn't have. He left Kodi as he didn't like the direction it's going and those who follow the community know the deal.
As far as third party addons go for the most part they're fine just because "kodi" hasn't supported or endorsed them doesn't mean much. They are trying to protect themselves. We all know that the "kodi" endorsed addons don't really offer much. Furthermore TVaddons is not KODI there a development team ( that also have a fork of kodi TVMC) and there developers also create their own addons that you probably use but don't release it.
I experience the same problem with Force close not being available all the time when i need it. that pisses me off. also my sheild randomly exits back to the home screen whenever i am using the remote instead of controller.. I found a thread about a lot of others with the same problem.
anyone who's having problems with Kodi: step 1) go to settings from the main leanback launcher , and go to apps and delete KODI's data / cache etc... then after that delete the app. Go to Kodi's website, download their latest version of Jarvis , as an APK , transfer it using your prefered method ( I use ES File explorer and go to network > Remote manager, turn it on, and access the FTP server from a computer or whatever, send files that way) ... and open it in ES file explorer or whatever... then you should have a working KODI that is more stable. Add your addons you wish, you'll find it SHOULD be tons more stable. I've had problems with the KODI from the playstore.

Thanks, I'll try that. I have to agree with OP. Kodi Jarvis on Shield Marshmallow sucks! Scrolling is extremely choppy! Exiting Kodi takes FOREVER!
I came here to ask if anyone else has had issues with Kodi Jarvis, I'm glad I'm not the only one.
This looks pretty cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVyNISBZvfA <---- No longer works!
But we shouldn't have to mod Kodi just to get it to work the way it should in the first place!
Kodi 16 is working perfectly on my NSTV, but I am on [ROM][Full Android Marshmallow for Shield TV][v.1.2]
It is slow to close after using for awhile, but no big deal, when you accept that as normal close behavior.

That's not normal behavior. SPMC exits fast.

There are issue's with Kodi not closing quickly. If you go in the forums it comes up alot. On my mac it never closes properly sometimes I have to force close it.

You should try SPMC! Let me know how fast it exits for you.

I just tried closing SPMC, It takes about half the time of Kodi.
Kodi was fast at closing when it was first installed., but over time it has gotten longer...

I use SPMC it's fine. It's KODi that has the issue. The dev of SPMC removed alot of useless code that's why it's faster
Cheers
Noobs and nerds community portal doesn't allow you to install builds on SPMC. So I have kodi for community builds and Schism for SPMC.

Hi,
I am considering rooting my tablet to fix the Chrome mobile view issue (plus the tabs not working, cannot close tabs, etc). My question is how Huawei handles rooted tablets - will I still be able to apply OTA updates if I am rooted if/when they decide to release any, or will it be problematic? Has anyone had experience with their phones to speculate on this? I do not want to preclude myself from getting the updates, although I suppose if I remove root it should then allow the updates? Thoughts? If anyone has tried this with their phones I'd appreciate feedback.
I rooted my Mediapad M3. Now there is a update for EMUI, but I'd doesn't work.
After reboot the TWRP start, but no update.
you can fix chrome issue with chrome beta https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chrome.beta&hl=it. Work fine on m3
Chrome Beta seems to be much better for me, especially on Flea-Bay. With standard Chrome, that site is nearly impossible to use due to the severe lag when scrolling.
Hi - I have been trying to get Hulu working on my HD8-6G. On the HD8-6G v5.3.1.1, Hulu will abort right after starting.
When looking at the running system apps, I found the Fire Application Compatibility Enforcer, and that sounded like a good candidate. So, I tried a Force Stop.
The Application Compatibility Enforcer isn't running now, but Hulu still doesn't work.
So, I wanted to turn the Application Compatibility Enforcer back on to prevent any instability issues. How do I get it running again?
Thanks!
