Apps that currently do NOT work on the Xoom

[rushmore]

We can add ESPN Radio app and Mixzing media player as well... both don't work/function are all

Both work on the Gtablet, so maybe dynamic storage related (Honeycomb).

gTablet and Xoom have same chipsets, so kind of okay to compare them. At least to see what is Tegra or Honeycomb related for not working.

Think waiting until the Spring tablet boom is going to pay off...have fun, early adopters!

Lol. I'm not sure if this is a sarcastic statement or not. But I'm glad that there are early adopters. This is a good thread to let us know what to expect if we buy the Xoom now.

Can all of you early adopters edit your posts or start a new thread if there are updates on some of the apps that aren't working when they start working.

Thanks again.

I didn't get any notification of any updates... just checks the marketplace as well and ddnt see anything... where did you notice the updates?

Marketplace -> My Apps

It will show what needs updating on that screen. Then again, sorry, I'm using a droid x, but I would think that gmail would be universal for all phones.

thats how updates are handled. it takes a couple shakes of a lambs tale for updates to reach everyone. just because i may see an update today does not necessarily mean you will see it too at the same time...

Doodle jump, super tumble, and four player reactor don't really work.

Does Wallpaper Set and Save work? Also, can you create and modify Microsoft Office documents using the default browser and Skydrive (Microsoft Web Apps)?

Having trouble getting Pure Calendar Widgets to show up.

 

[technotorrent]

need to add titanium backup and shoot me to the list for rooted users. at first i thought that it was't properly rooted but rom manager has no complaint about not having root access although there is not a curretly distributed version of clockwork mod or roms for it to test that out on.

Seesmic not working for me, unfortunately. It starts, but hangs and FCs before I can get to the screen where you enter login information. Tried to alert the developer, but they don't make that easy, either.

Mixzing not working yet. It couldn't find any music, and was causing the regular music app to force close.

Seriously installing spare parts has made all apps work now. Very nice and no reason to complain anymore.

 

[RickInHouston]

SplashID doesn't work.

 

[DoctorWu]

Soundhound, Neocore, USA Today are the 3 apps I had that I got rid of because they don't work or constantly FC.

USA today released a tablet specific app.. here's the link to the tablet version, which works great by the way - I love it.

FYI, and I'm not sure anyone cares since no one ever replied to my message about it, but, Trillian has been updated with Honeycomb fixes. I can now sign in on the Xoom. VERY happy now.

 

[Zellster]

PlayOn. It uses Flash so no joy.

This will be a great app for the Xoom, if it works.

The Everquest II Companion doesn't work. The login button does not exist for some reason.

Thanks for the update. I don't have a Xoom (yet, but VERY interested) and I use Trillian ALL the time. I was going to suggest visiting their site to post the incompatibility if you hadn't posted that they fixed it.

I'm using the update right now and it's working great. Very pleased.

Yay! If you find any other tablet-related issues in Trillian's Android version, please toss it into our bug tracker. Right now our focus is on pulling the 'continuous client' support into all our various versions (WHEE TOO MANY BUILDS), but we still want to get any tablet-related quirks flagged and dealt with as quickly as possible.

Now that's some service! I used Trillian all day to talk to my wife at work and it worked flawlessly. Notifications, etc, all working great. I *SOOOO* want the continuous client update, so, when you get that out I am going to be incredibly happy. One freaky thing I'll report in your tracker is the sign in screen doesn't rotate. I wish it would cause I keep the Xoom docked a lot of time and in the folio case when at work so that's a little awkward. But, I really truly appreciate the fast update for honeycomb and getting it to work on the Xoom. REALLY looking forward to the next update for my Droid and Xoom.

Oh hey, look, I found my original account. MUCH BETTER. Now I can just be Packet instead.

Continuous client should work between Android and Trillian 5.0 on Windows already. It won't to OS X just yet, however; I'm working on that as we speak. (Must... finish... regression tests! Need... dinner! So... hungry I'm... speaking... like Shatner!)

One freaky thing I'll report in your tracker is the sign in screen doesn't rotate.

That's not Xoom-specific (or even Honeycomb specific), but I can see how it would be way more obnoxious on a tablet, yeah. Might not hurt to toss a link to the ticket onto the Android section of our forums to get folks to vote up the ticket, too.

(Tickets in Bugzilla that have been voted up get higher priority attention when we put together a list of 'what should get addressed in the next build.' I.e., the squeakiest wheels tend to get grease the quickest.)
