Comics apps - Acer Iconia Tab A100

I have a problem with both the Comics and DC Comics apps from Comicxology. They FC pretty much immediately after starting.
Has anyone else gotten them to work on their tabs, or is it incompatible with the A100?!?

I just tried out the Comics app from Comicxology. I navigated through a lot of the options so see if it would force close on me. No problem what so ever.
It seems you are having quite a few issues with games/apps. Did you accidentally remove something you weren't supposed to? If not, have you tried doing a factory reset?

Yeah, I've actually thought about doing a wipe. The A100 doesn't seem nearly as stable or fast as it originally was.
The odd thing however, is that I contacted the dev behind the Comic app, and got this reply:
"No ETA quite yet, but we have some cool things planned!
comiXology Support"
I asked whether their app is compatible with the A100/7 inch tabs and whether they'll be supported in an upcoming edition.
Needless to say, I'm kinda confused now that you're saying that it works fine

That is weird, I just downloaded the DC Comic app to check it too. Both of them worked for me just fine.

N.o.v.a bug? G2 question

For one does anyone own nova and have gotten through the singleplayer with it.
Secondly I am on the second mission, something void. I get to a part in the game where you have to upload the virus using a terminal. After uploading the virus those green aliens spawn in and I kill them all. After killing them all nothing happens all the door locked.
I downloaded the game from the android gameloft website and purchased it after testing the trial bfrom the games ui.

It's a known issue. I managed to play through the game using version 3.3.9. Anything I upgraded to seemed to get hung at one part or another (virus upload or the hangar area in the level after the virus part). Hope this helps.
I have same problem ...so I started over thinking I did something wrong lol...guess I didnt

Yea thats what I gathered, gamelofts support as not very helpful and instead just said device not supported. Instead of telling about the bug.
I guess only way to play is to find that lower version which is disappointing considering I paid money for this.
There's a version on a website that sounds like Wobilism (turn the W upside down and you have your site) They have addressed this issue and have a fixed version. Keep in mind it is hacked and since warez and stuff aren't supported here so I can't link to it. Works fine for me though and I can confirm it works.
Its just a patch in my eyes since I actually bought it, thanks for the tip.

[Q] Android Netflix App for A7?

Does anyone know if the new Android Netfix app will ever work on the A7? I installed it on my EVO and it is sweet! But the screen is TINY!

I don't count on it ever working,but I put playon on mine and it works pretty much perfectly.You can install it on your computer then you are basically steaming but you have Netflix, Hulu CBS,tbs comedycentral,syfy and the list goes on.You can try it out for a couple of weeks for free and then if you want to keep it they are pretty cheap and have several ways to subscribe,from monthly,yearly and even a one time payment for a lifetime subsciption.Anyway I got tired of waiting and got it on sell and haven't looked back.It is more than you can imagine and you can use it on PS3.Xbox,Wii,and several blueray players.Pretty much anything that is DLNP capable .
Anyway didn't mean to ramble but hope this helps.
There is a netflix app available without the checks and already signed. Most have said they can get it running in a gingerbread rom. I haven't been able to get it working on the A7's rom however.

I know that they won't allow it to run on devices that are rooted, but I think if you search the forums you'll find a modded apk that should run.

I tryed them all, they are a no go. Something in the A7 is missing to let it run, i can browse for movies but once i go to play them it just loops back to the browse screen
I have an archos tab and the cracked apk works great. But not for my A7

Thanks,
I had installed the cracked version on my Evo4G and Evo3D, and it installed on the A7 but would never work.
I always ignored the "there is a newer version available" message until I read your post. Works like a charm now... Resolution seems like it sucks a little, but that may have just been the movie I tested with.
Just down loaded from Market. Install and logged in. It works great!!!

I updated to this version and it works well. I've noticed that the resolution starts out bad but rapidly improves. I am really happy with this tablet now. It pretty much does most things I want it to do. Only thing left for me to conquer is moving apps 2 external SD.
Thanks to everyone that has helped develop the mode!
Just wanted to make sure everyone is aware that you can adjust the quality of your stream through netflix. Just head to your account page on netflix.com and towards the bottom is a link to adjust the quality.
I've be seaching for the Elocitymod 1.42a, but haven't been able to find it. Can anyone tell me where I can get it or send a link? Thanks

On my completly factory A7+ I got netflix working only through an account on amazon
Still can't find way for un modified A7+ to get HBO GO
more to point. I cant get netflix audio (or any audio) through hdmi on my ~5 yr old Insignia HD TV, is it possible adjusting stream quality will solve the no audio? I tried it on a new 55" Toshiba and audio/video work perfect (and wow, a 3' tall angry bird is cool)
This has been answerd in old threads as, "some tv's audio works, some don't"
Any new fixes?
Anyway to put screen to sleep while still streaming through hdmi?

Iconia A100 sucks at app compatibility

Downloaded an upgrade to Skype today, and included was a bunch of new devices, that got videocalling with the upgrade. Among others was the Iconia A500, but of course no A100. ARGHHH!!!
After a couple of weeks of owning the A100, I'm more than happy at the size and speed of this little tablet, but it's getting to be really tiresome, that most of the cool new games and apps I find in the Market aren't compatible with the A100
Even some TABLET APPS aren't compatible.
And this is just the apps openly state they aren't compatible. With some of them, you won't find out until you either open it, and a message tells you that your device isn't compatible, or it just plain crashes on you...
(To further the confusion, in some cases you can download a demo from Tegrazone, but when you try to buy the full game after happily playing the demo, Android Market tells you, that the game isn't compatible with your device.... WTF?!?!)
Who's fault is this exactly? Is it Google that messed up? The developers that are just plain lazy? Or is Acer somehow to blame?
(I noticed that most apps report my screen in the A100 as being 600*976 pixels. Is this somehow the problem for at least some of the uncompatible apps!?)
And more importantly, what can I as a user do? Shoot off some friendly emails to developers? Or can a root or somekind of hack help solve the problem?
Opinions, suggestions?

Errr, yes it is (on A500/A501)! If you took 10 seconds to search you'll find in the skype parameters the possibility to turn on video (it isn't by default) and it works, I've just spent an hour on skype video, you can choose which camera you want to use, everything works perfectly. Sorry for being off topic but I just wanted to clarify what the person above me said...

Those options do not exist in HC 3.2 on the A500.
In mine stock 3.2 non root exist. Is in settings at the skype application. But you need the last skype update. I just finished a video conference right now and it worked great. Try again.
Alright, on 3.2 Rooted, but the rom that has all the bloatware and everything pretty much intact Skype does not do video calls or show ANY of the video options in the settings.
I reverted back to a backup of 3.1, and the app DOES do video call, and show the video call settings.
I don't know what your doing Kekinash, but you've got a magical tablet.
That's weird, my A501 on 3.01 stock rom with root is compatible with skype video calls.

This is both an opinion as well as a suggestion...
Be patient
Unfortunately the 7" and 8.9" sizes are 'new territory' for HC apps. Devs worked to get apps compatible with/to 10" screens and the associated resolutions that run on that size primarily for their tablet-only applications. In the same way devs for phone (1.5-2.3) apps have been working to make their apps scale up for tablet use, I'm sure HC-only app devs are working quickly to make their apps scale to smaller tablet screen sizes and those new resolutions. Even if the resolutions are already supported, afaik there's an issue in 3.2 causing them to crash when paired with 7" screens either way.
So when I say be patient, I mean hold out a bit longer and I'm sure things will be up to spec. On one hand you'll have the quicker devs fixing their apps to work well with smaller screens/different tablet resolutions and worse case scenario, you know it's all coming together anyway for ICS and at that point, everything SHOULD work.
Edit:
And friendly emails to devs let me tell you, do tend to get the job done. Especially when the app is popular. I use Getglue and was frustrated that it wasn't after quite a long time, not changed to be compatible with 3.0.1. I wrote a friendly email to the dev. asking for a Getglue for Tablets because I really loved the app and I sit with my tablet beside me more so than my phone now at home, etc. etc. and I got a response from my team saying that the app was unfortunately no longer compatible, but to use the mobile site. This was in July. Then roughly a few weeks or so later, voila! Fix'd. So it never hurts to let them know what's up.
most apps work in my stock A100
So far I have had no problems with the apps I use and have downloaded or even pay for. Skype now does video calls perfectly, the only app that was crashing a lot was a spell checker tha I did uninstall and replaced with an other one that has no problems.
Just checked, and the video options DID turn on in Skype.
Along with a little warning that it might not be supported, blah blah...
So I got to use the front camera for the first time today
Dunno if it's just me but it seems not all the apps I could/can see on my A500 appear on my A100. Same gmail account. For a while I couldn't find Facebook on the market.
Yeah, there would be a lot of apps for the A500 that aren't compatible with the A100 I can imagine.
Best way to check, is to go in to the www version of the market, then you can see all apps, no matter if theyre compatible or not. If you have several devices, the www market tells you which one of your devices an app is compatible with. I wish there was a similar feature in the market app.
BUT! On the bright side, I DID get around to rooting my A100... You think that might make a difference in regards to apps? Is there some kind of workaround available now that its rooted?
I just activated cam on my A100 and it is working fine.
?? Does Skype update automatically???

my Wife has the Iconia Tab 7" and when she gets incompatibility issues, all I do is side load the app. example, American Express app says its not compatible with her device. I just copied it from one of my Android devices and Bluetooth it to her, she installs it and it works 100%
sometimes the market place is just wrong. when I want an app even though the market says NO, I find the .apk from somewhere and install it. on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 Gameloft says their game Lets Golf 3 doesn't work....BS, Ive been playing this game for a month now with ZERO issues.

If you open settings, yes. Just close the tab.
Right after installing and testing the new Flash App I had the first crash and reboot of my Nexus. So still a bit buggy...
mine's working fine. I use flash for very few sites, but at least it works so far.
How can it be disabled after install?
Thanks

Unistalled it anyway. The minute I added it to the phone it started to hiccup. F#$#ing Flash.
yesss! i love it! I just came from froyo and i was really upset that the latest and greatest android phone didn't support flash! I called up samsung twice to vent about how pissed i was that the principal selling point of android phones over apple's phones is lacking on google's flagship model.
It also give me a great argument at Bell's loyalty department to get my self a KILLER plan
But now its here! and i am ever so happy!

I agree what a disappointment. Sure it works but it completely ruined the browsers buttery smooth scrolling.
Just install it and set plugins to 'on demand'. That way it won't ruin the performance, but you have the opportunity to start flash if you want to.
don't miss it. So won't bother installing it until I need it for something.
It doesn't hurt to have it especially if you set it to on demand. Surprised at how many people are unaware of this option.

Next Launcher 3D comments?

I'm trying out Next Launcher 3D trial version and I like what I see. However, I seemed to get into some reboots
and boot loops since I installed it. I'm wondering if it's just me or are there any known problem with it?
I read their facebook page and it seemed to cause some problem on the S4 (bootloops) but I couldn't
find anything related to Note 2 (but that doesn't mean it did not happen).
I'd appreciate all inputs. Thank you very much!

I just tried the trial version on Google Play Store. Not sure if it's any different than the paid version.
Emails sent to the developers and also posted on their Facebook page went unanswered...
(if pre-sale support is that bad, I can imagine how post-sale support looks like )
If you look at their changes log, every single update has this line:
fixed some crashes.
So, yes, it's probably not just you...
I love how it looks and function, but waiting 15-30 seconds several times a day for it to reload because it crashed after unlocking the phone, is unacceptable.
Thanks. Yes I really like how it looks and it's fast. however, if they never responded to questions I can't see how I can give then my money
