What program are you using for that?
Maybe you are using a lite version and only the paid version gets rid of that play icon.

Hi thanks Flaggie for taking your time,
I m using AndrostreamPro bought via the market.
Tryed with ORB same issue.

Apps missing or not working on Galaxy Nexus (or ICS?)

I hope these are more likely to be problems with Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) that the Galaxy Nexus, but I have found quite a few apps which no longer work.
FLASH ("not compatible")
BBC iPlayer ("not compatible")
BBC News (official) ("not compatible")
Hancent SMS ( Not locking default 'messenger app')
Awesome Drop (not connecting)
Anyone found any more?

How about:
Google Voice?
Any of the console emulators?
Any of the EA games?
Any of the Markiet Gameloft Games (I am pretty sure none of these will work, don't know why I am bothering to ask, lol)
Any of the advanced video players (MX video, VPlayer)
Netflix?
Skype?
Any file managers, (ES, Astro, etc)?
Dolphin, Opera or other third party browsers?

Facebook works but has glitches and no way to go to the settings page within the app..

IVONA Text-to-Speech doesn't work as it doesn't come up as an option under text-to-seech output so can't be selected.
IMDB is missing its widget.

USA Today News app is "incompatible".

N64oid and FPse both work fine. Most games play without any issues. Majoras Mask looks amazing!
SNESoid doesn't work yet. It launches, then when you try to load a rom, it stops working.

ES works fine ....... vplayer works fine for the types ive tried (avi, wmv, flv, mp4 )

This is an interesting thread. I wonder if these are the reasons the Nexus failed Verizon testing here state-side.

Dolphin Browser HD starts to work but then freezes. I have contacted their support team, await a reply.

I think these app problems are due to Ice Cream Sandwich, not the Galaxy Nexus, and the developers of the apps just need to tweak them, mark them as ICS compatible and then send out the update.
The apps which are unavailable from the market, haven't been marked as compatible with ICS... so the market wont show you them.
I don't think that app availability/problems would cause delay of feature in Verizon testing.
The phone itself works a treat

Prey closes on me. That's something I'd really like working on such an expensive phone

Latest version of root explorer has a few issues (minimises to a small area on the bottom left of the screen) however an older version (2.16) works fine.
Beautiful widgets & pure calender widget work fine
Handcent seems ok (not loosing default actions for me)
Adfree installs and appears to work alright, however I've noticed some adds in a few games so not 100% sure whether it's fully working
Titanium backup is fine but app processing mode (under preferences) needs to be set to "interactive/classic"

Android agenda widget doesnt handle events correctly - puts them a month in future
Several other agenda type widgets FC
Sims3 game fails to install
Topcashback app FC
ES file manger is fine and root element works
Skype works for me

EBay gives me error code 5013 and crashes, amazon is hit and miss also.

Anyone know where we can report this to Facebook?
This annoying because I cant turn off notification, bad battery drain
Do they have official email pr support forum or such for Facebook for Android?
Thanks.

I've found:
LauncherPro works but some of the LPwidgets crash the handset forcing a 'clear data'
Sandisk memory app doesn't work - presumably it's looking for a non-existent memory card
NoGravity - app crashes
Confirmed Apps that work:
NFS Hot pursuit
FlickGolf
RecklessGetawaySprinkle
Profanisaurus
Android Pro Widgets
BeautifulWidgets
Dropbox
DualFIleManager
GoogleSkyMap
IMDB
Poweramp
3dSkyOrb
Speedview
StudioClock
taptu
Vouchercloud

Couldn't use Navigon 4.0 , the wlan option to download the map failed and using the PC to transfer the map also failed.
Got a refund.

[Info] List of apps that aren't compatible

I thought it might be useful to put together a list of apps that aren't compatible (either partly, or at all) with ICS.
If this thread gets enough responses, perhaps it can be stickied?
Post your findings, and I'll try to update the first posts with updates so prospective Nexus buyers can see what may not work.
Adobe Flash - doesn't appear in market. Available from end of 2011
BBC Iplayer - Doesnt Show in Market
BBC News - doesn't appear in market at all. Now works
Blood and Glory crashes
Calendar pad won't open
CalanGoo not working/syncing. Due to new Calendar APIs?
Dolphone Browser - multiple reports of freezing etc.
Evac HD and Radiant HD by Hexage don't work. They install and launch, but you just get a black screen.
Facebook - Doesn't implement menu button, so can't set options/contact sync Update adds menu button back (but no contact sync still)
Flickr - you can't get past the signin process Update available to resolve the login problem now
Go Contacts has issues with themes
Google Earth - Loads but won't respond (multiple reports of this, although some users find it works?) Now working for me too. Maybe it needed a rest.
Google Tasks Organiser - see CalanGoo
London tube status widgets also broken
MX Video Player - Installs but says device isnt supported
RemindMe also doesn't work. It too installs, but you get a weird black screen when you start it
Root Explorer - Now updated in Market
Skype works, video calling does not.
SwiftKey doesn't bring up predictions? Several users now confirming this does work okay
Sygic (Sat nav) can do initial setup, but won't display nav screen (reverts to home). Now working
Tweetdeck - When posting, dropdown options don't appear for location, contacts etc doesn't appear. Posting box just fills screen. TweakDeck in the Market sorts all problems nicely!
Urbanspoon hangs at the loading cuisines screen
Urban Dictionary by Tim Clark FC's in use Now fixed, update in Market
- Note, I've not added every single report to this list; as some are "intermittently crashes" etc. This could be just random bad luck, but if several people post the same kind of issue I'll add it. Sorry I don't update this as frequently as i'd like!

Has anyone tried running LBE Privacy Guard on the GN?

Yeah i tried co pilot yesterday. After it opened it closed down immeadiatley.
Alk sent me an email with my serial key and i am now able to use it. However it still opens and then hides itself and i have to re open from the icon in the notification tray.
Im kind of gutted coming from a fully compatible Gs2. Feel like a beta tester!
So far ive have issues with
Shazam
Lack of adobe flash
Ebay app - get random network error message which stops me from viewing listings
Most decent movie players.
Citrix reciever
If you have gs2 think hard before making the jump, as nice as the device is it is lacking a whole host of useful features added by touch whiz i.e
video codecs - mkv , divx xvid
all share - decent dlna app
ability to add individual callers to a block list
split view mailboxes
flash - for now

Hey, thanks for your response. I have just tried Vplayer and it played 3 out of the 5 files that i had transfered. Thats better than nothing!
Just finding it a hard transition from the Gs2 it did everything out of the box!
Thanks again

can I create a virtual "fake" camera? (/dev/msm_camera/*?

Hi all!
I'm currently working on a project about latencies in image and video transmission.
my question is:
Do I have the ability to simulate a camera image or video on real hardware?
i through about a link (assuming root) something like:
ln -s /sdcard/image.jpg /dev/msm_camera/msm_camera0
or feed the real cam with a stream or a picture.
Is this possible?
kind regards!

Sounds interesting but what are you going to use it for?

>Sounds interesting but what are you going to use it for?
to send the same test picture all the time (over skype video-chat for example). on desktop we send DataMatrixCodes which is
recognized form the receiver

Ah ok but I have no idea how to do this tought.

Wildfire as mpd client remote

Hi,
The Wildfire was my first Android based smartphone and I really loved that device.
But then I brought an Xperia S because the wildfire was too slow and old. But I never forgot that there is an old smartphone.
Today is the day I want to give my wildfire a new life as an mpd (Music player daemon) client remote. There are some Apps dir android in the play store and they all work like a charm.
But I doesn't want to start the app every time I boot the phone to control my music server.
My question: Do you have any suggestions how to do that? I only want a remote for my music.
Maybe it's possible to start an app on boot? Does anybody know how to do that?
Or do you have other solutions?
I'm really happy about every answer.

To make it run on boot my guess would be make it a system app. Get an apk file of the app you are using and then move it to system/app and give it rw-r-r permissions. (R is read and w is write). I think that would do it. However it may not work.

VLC Remote Control App
Hello friend,
Yes it is possible to do this, and the best app I have found for it is VLC Remote which works with VLC Media Player.
