I know we all just got our eLocity A7 this week. Lets put our heads together and list apps that work, apps that don't and work arounds.
I will be adding a list later today. I have about 70 apps downloaded to try out.

Now I have a bigger problem. I broke my screen. ;(
Anyone try Fring video chat? the other side sees my video upside down. Is this happening to anyone else? I've also tried Tango for video chat, but it won't even connect to the other caller.
just tried knocking live video and it seems that it's not a problem with fring. i hope someone at the factory didn't install my camera upside down!!
Does anybody manage to have slingplayer works?
I did a "sideload" from memory card (extracted from XT720). It installed but it doesn't open.

Same thing here. If I just use the camera its fine, so it must be software. I don't think the hardware is incorrectly installed.

The camera image was not upside down until the last FRING update.

Works:
Slingplayer Mobile for Android (but sometimes you have to launch it several times)
Doesn't Work:
SIRUIS-XM Online: Hangs on update after initial sign in.
I'm hoping both Sirius and Sling work on improving their apps for android tablets. Sling isn't bad but they should offer a higher resolution player like they do for the iPad. Having HDMI out and using Sling could be a killer app for for the A7.
I've got Yahoo messanger video call working great, just DL'd the messenger app from the market (using Dexters Mod), and then searched for the yahoo video plugin apk.
I also HAD an Archos A70 and had similar issues with the webcams being upside down, may be something in the froyo software.
Games
Crusade Of Destiny loads and everything works except joystick
Android
I have had my Elocity A7 for 3 days now and only one conclusion, Android 2.2 and all of the software is junk. I have found that after the posted updates, more of the apps crash the system than work. The only tablet that I have seen stable with working apps is the Samsung Galaxy. Android will never gain marketshare with abundance of negative press from people like me.

Did you apply Dexter's ROM? I had the ViewSonic G Tablet prior to purchasing the A7 and nearly all the apps I tried worked fine. As for the A7 some work and some don't but for the money, I can't complain. Like it or not, Android is here to stay and will only continue to get bigger
Update to my post on page 1.
Works:
- Latest Skype now works with ElocityMod v1.1.
Not Work:
- Navigon Mobile Navigator won't run (FCs).
- Google Navigation dosen't work.
Even with an external BT GPS device that works with Google Maps it Says, "GPS is disabled". You click "ok" and it takes you to location & Security Settings, I assume to emable GPS, but there is no option to enable GPS as the A7 has no built in GPS. Note Google Navigation does work on my Viewsonic g tablet.
Hello,
when i try to get the google+ from the market i got this message!
This app is incompatible with your GSG2.
why ?
is there a problem with this app in the SGS2 ?
Works fine on mine... and many hundreds of others...
I was trying to side install the latest v1.0.5 on galaxy S2...it is getting installation not done failure...
I have no such problem on Google Plus v1.0.2
Trying out v1.0.5 on both galaxy S2 and Galaxy S..,same fate of failure
It works reeeeeally slow on mine. Application speed is fast, but loading a page takes forever. I've uninstalled it. Of course, I'm running on 2g (EDGE) data. But normal mobile sites and apps do load ok on my phone - slow, but ok.
Maybe for that marken say it is incompatible!

Works fine for me. When it said there's a new update, I installed the new app from the market without any problem.
couldn't see it on the market it's not my country yet. so I downloaded via the web and i get application not installed.
it's not a system app, why does it show me that.. strange.
btw, i'm not rooted.
Found a solution and it lies here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1148305
I am using my Note 8 N5100 since last two months. I mostly use Chrome as my default Internet Browser.
Recently I have updated the chrome app (The update brings a nice feature: full screen navigation). Since then I am having this peculiar problem.
1. A part of the web-page usually getting hidden under the navigation bar. If there is any link in that area, it is nearly impossible to click on that as it is hidden.
2. Tapping exactly on the link is not working always. I have to tap a little lower to select the exact target link. Surprisingly this problem does not exist if I zoom the page and tap on the desired link.
This problem is only with chrome browser. The stock android browser/dolphin/UC works fine.
This is my first week with my new brown note 8.0 and I noticed the same issue. In just went back to stock browser and will wait for next up date for chrome and hope it fixes it.
Same issue as well.

Seems to be fixed in the latest Chrome Beta.

I have the same issue.
I think your problems 1 and 2 are the same problem.
The link you touched is in the correct place, but the page displays a little bit higher.
Search is your friend:

This is a known issue and they are working on it.
I'm also having this issue, hopefully it'll get fixed soon
Here's a workaround using Xposed Framework:

Actually, just download the Chrome BETA which was refreshed this past Thursday. It fixes the issues you describe and works extremely well on my Note 8..
Hi,
A few weeks ago Google gives us new update to Google Maps with fully new design. From 7.0.2 (latest) update there appear a problem on my DHD (with JellyTime R11). While using this app screen is shacking up and down, what is a little bit annoing. I thouhgt there should't be a problem while using navi from google maps, but i was wrong. There is the same problem. I am going to go to another city, and navi will be needed. Is there any solution for this? Guys using this rom/device has got same problem as me? Is this problem on another rom/device?

I have the same problem on my Desire HD, using cyanogenmod 10.1 There are several reports about this on the internet for different devices / ROMs.
I guess the best option for now is to revert to maps 6.xx

I have the same problem.
I've read that deleting and reinstalling should fix it.
I have not tried yet as i can't be bothered with it. :cyclops:
I had the issue on maps 7.0.2 which was upgraded from maps 7.0.1
After I read your post I removed the app and installed maps 7.0.2 from play store. It seems to work well now (I only tested for 2 minutes).

Issue came back. It is app error. Only waiting for update left.

NEW GOOGLE MAPS IS PURE CRAP. Here. Use this.
Google Maps 6.14.4 (APK) (Source: zippyshare.com)
Use whatever app you have to use to rid your device of that PURE GARBAGE that Google is trying to pass off as a new version of their "Google Maps" application. (I recommend a reboot before doing any further after removal.)
Download v6.14.4 and install it. (Remember to re-check your security settings to allow the install of third-party apps.)
For me: PROBLEM SOLVED.
Google really F'ed up with this new version.
I got the new v7.1 update from the store and it worked good so far. Tested on a 10 km navigation and a bit of looking around on the map.
Edit: Swapping between apps makes the map screen flicker when you are back in maps.
Offline problem
In my Inspire, first version 7 was unusable because of flicker. With latest update, flickering is only present when using cached maps with no internet connection, so can't use navigation... :crying:
The flicker only appears if you switch between Google Maps and any other app or if you scroll down the notification bar.
When you use only Maps there is no flickering
Greetings Alex
This is problem in Maps app itself not in DHD, since owners of phones from other manufacturers also report this issue. With latest Maps update, I think the issue is gone, but to be honest not tested fully.
7.2.0 is much better but the problem still persists after changing from portrait to landscape

I confirm that, but in my case its very strange, only notification bar flickers
The same for 7.3.0

same issue for my DHD using maps 7.0.1 (I reverted back to 6.4.14)
Happens on other devices as well, it 's a Maps 7 issue:

I too have reverted to version 6 and try the new versions from time to time but it still hasn't been fixed. It has improved in the latest versions though, I used to be able to trigger it by pulling down the notification bar but this no longer seems to trigger it. Switching to another app still does though. I also get a blank square instead of a menu when I try to get traffic info of my route... very annoying.
Google keeps releasing new versions with 'bug fixes' in the 'What's new' field but they never really specify what 's been fixed. Has anyone tried the version from nov 2 yet?
I did not try the last maps 7, but had the same issue with Glob (based on maps api I think) AND JellyTime 4.2.2
Now I changed to CM11 4.4 nightly and it's ok with Glob, so maybe it's the same with Maps.
I remember reading about Google enabling Lollipop devices to start using Google assistant but it's now mid January and my device still has bupkis! I have tried the unofficial ways to get it but they all fail on my stock, un-rooted T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I get the Google Assistant Launcher to install but after I do, a reminder it says device is not supported. I have the Play Services beta and Google Search Beta and still nothing, what the heck?
They recently updated Google to this crappy new style which removed the hamburger menu and puts everything on a disappearing bottom bar like iPhones, WTF?! Also it moves all personal items to this weird button that looks like a pimple art demo and the mail Google feed simply shows news? I would rather have my personal Google (scores, travel times, shipping info, etc) on my main page and click a button for the news.
Why does Google always fluck with sh!t? Does anyone know how to enable Google Assistant on the Note 3? Thanks in advance...
It's now almost April and still nothing? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance...
I've seen the app floating around the Play Store, but I'm not sure if it's compatible with Lollipop 5.0 since I'm running 8.1 via Lineage 15.1 (haggertk), but it's worth a try I guess.
Can't post a link as I'm still considered new despite being here for 4 going on 5 years now... RIP
