Nexus 7 Apps / Tube Mate Debate
« on: March 11, 2013, 03:29:30 PM »
Just discovered a killer app. I found an old Van Halen show that I went to when I was a kid at the Philadelphia Spectrum. RIP. The album is called Martial Law. I found the concert on YouTube. Then I was thinking how to listen natively thru a better sounding application.It is just audio. No Vid. Did a little research and found a couple apps which looked good to accomplish what I wanted. To my dismay they were all taken down from the Google Play store.  I stumbled upon Tube mate. This thing is awesome. It will download the video and or convert the audio to mp3 if so desired. Perfect for portable audio. You can change the video formats as well.
 I have noticed that there is a struggle between certain type apps and the Play store. TV Portal ,Best Tube, an occasional tether app has been known to get pulled and then replaced. Foxfi comes to mind.
Question is ..Is it legal to download a video from a public site like YouTube? Is watching a TV show on TV Portal against the law or is Google just playing it safe? If it is unsavory how do these apps make it to marketplace and why don't we hear more about the clarity of the laws. I understand that downloading /stealing the Metallica Discography from Piratehunt torrentland is illegal and unethical but is this in the same category?

Well my machine had been running squirelly for a while. Ever since moving which took forever I finally set my pc up. I decided to wipe the device and start from scratch. My decision came when all of a sudden I had no recovery installed. Other dumbissues.. have never been able to click on ads or view certain play store hardware. I had a feeling my Nandroids would hold the same genes so I bit the bullet and started from scratch. I wanted to do what Loocid suggested and have a fresh install and a Nandroid of it. I updated WUGs. Backed up important items like my mame roms  and a couple other things. I was hoping to use titanium to batch install the apps at the end. Anyway,  everything went well except I lost a bunch of my titanium apps somehow. They didn't get installed when I reinstalled Titanium and tried to import the saved file.  Not the biggest of deals. I got most of my stuff back from the play store and could pick and choose slowly to sniff out any conflicts. She is running great right now. Everything seems to be working perfectly.
Question. When titanium is un installed is it supposed to remember  your backups somehow? I store them on Drive and Dropbox just in case but I thought that it was kind of plug it back in and your apps are magically there like from the cloud. Naive of me.

Has anyone seen the movie?  I really liked it. I am biased because they filmed a lot of it in my hood. The diner scene is in a booth I have sat in many times. Oscar well deserved. GO Birds!

Nexus 7 Audio/Video / TV Portal
« on: January 12, 2013, 03:36:07 PM »

Does anyone else encounter horrible skipping and stuttering with this app?  Sometimes it runs flawlessly but then it just is unwatchable. I use MX like suggested and my Wi-Fi is strong. I go down the line of the other sites serving the show and it seems hit or miss. Just as a test I open YouTube when the skipping is happening and it runs fine. Any ideas?

Nexus 7 Help / Cannot View /Buy Hardware @ Google Play
« on: December 16, 2012, 12:01:22 PM »
I think I mentioned this a while back but didn't see the thread. I cannot link to any hardware at the Play Store. If I search Google for a Nexus 10 and use a link it takes me to the  Play Store homepage. If I search the store for a nexus 10 , I never see it as an item for sale. Same for phones, tablets etc. I have never seen anything other than apps, books, music etc for sale. It happens with every browser I try as well.
It is frustrating because I couldn't view the recent launch day schwag and I have wanted to possibly do a little  xmas shopping. I know I can use a PC but that defeats the purpose.
I still have this weird problem with ads as well. Links take me to an error page and all Google ads in Chrome don't load. Not the worst thing in the world but still would like to figure out the problem. I had ad away installed for a while and got rid of it but that wasn't the issue.
I have a feeling that these issues are connected in some way. I just can't seem to find a solution.
I feel like I'm on an island with this one. Any ideas?

Nexus 7 Help / Dire Need of Help
« on: December 12, 2012, 12:40:42 AM »
I went thru my second random reboot of the day and then with my son there and feeling extra confident after seeing just a fingernail can open the Nexus I gave it a shot. It was cool showing him the different radios.. etc.. Now I am in trouble. The nexus when it tries to start just flashes like bands of light.. hard to explain except that I am beat right now. I snapped the body on straight but it even is messed up without the other half not included. As soon as I plug the cord in its like a firework show even with the nexus without a back.
if anyone can help please do!

Nexus 7 Apps / Mame
« on: December 01, 2012, 01:14:04 AM »
Finally got my Mame emulator app up and running. I was having problems a while back and decided to give it another shot. It works great if you find the right ROM. I found a site with a bunch of free ROMs. I used to love playing these games at the arcade when I was a kid. Defender ,Dig dug, Asteroids, Pac Man, Mr Do. etc..
If anyone is interested in the site for the ROMs let me know.
The emulator is free in GP. MAME4ALLNow I just need to find one of those little video game cabinets that will fit a Nexus.

Weird message just popped up saying that. I was playing music with the Google music app and it just stopped. I clicked the message and it took me to a page that showed like 10 accounts?Wtfrik?
Can anyone tell me why this is happening ? I only use the player on this Nexus and my computer to load the music. Should I delete all the accounts?
