I have come across some apps that say they are not supported with our device. Its a feaking nexus device and it's advertised as supporting every app in the play store. Any way I found this solution and thought I'd share it with you all.
This person figured out a way to download the apk from the play store to your computer to side load if you cannot get the app on your device.
http://codekiem.com/2012/02/24/apk-downloader/
Yeah, I have a phone and player and just back up all apps with my file explorer. Then put all apk's in an "app folder" on Dropbox, then copy them to any new device. Most side load without issue. Unfortunately they aren't recognized at the Play store and won't update, but when they update on my phone, I just copy the new one. I have to do that on my player with GO Notifications, not sure why it's been "incompatible" for 6 months now...
Thanks a lot work fine

Despite adding to the target line, it still says I need to turn off SSL warnings
Which device ID do you use, for the Nexus 7, or a different device?
**EDIT** Put in my SGS3 details and it worked fine
Another way to do it is to go into astro viewer and go to backup apps. Go down the list to the app u want and click backup and then go look in the backup folder and u will have a apk that u can put on ur phone/ tablet etc...
I recommend the app Datasync. It's pretty easy to use and can even sync data (like game saves on Max Payne or whatever you want). It syncs data between your phone and nexus.

I heard you can beam Scottie up. True Story.

gallery images & videos won't transfer via Android Beam.. you can launch apps & games provided that it is installed.. if it's not installed on the other device it opens up the market link to it.. map locations can also be beamed..
i also just noticed that paypal has an NFC widget for easy money transfers.

Can someone help me and find out why my.phone won't play a .mov file or video sent from my girls iPhone. She took a video of my step son. Sent it to my gmail account. But when I hit info to play, it says, " no app can play this file or open" any advice? And the phone has flash player is installed. But when I scroll through the applications menu, it's not there. I thought it was at first. I had to do a factory reset and erased internal storage as well. does doing this erase preloaded apps? And the phone is new. Never rooted..I'm sure being the latest and greatest phone out there it should play a .mov file attachment from an iPhone. Thanks for the help

You must enable flash player from drop down menu of browser. Just tick it. To play the video, try mx player free from market.
I had the same issue with my girlfriends iphone. I just used Vidcon from the market to convert the video to a better format. Conversion is so fast on the HOX.
Could always use an alternative video player. MX player or even BSPlayer lite.
Either way will work. I usually convert them because I like to lol

Sorry. I'm new to android.. is this normal for a phone like this not to have a proper app for movie files? I will definitely check out a few apps to download. Thanks.

For the same reason you cant play some files on your Windows Media Player PC.
If our phones could do everything right out from the box, we wouldnt need the Market (Play), right ?
If you cant do something, just download a app.

It does have a proper app for playing movie files. The fact apple use their own format instead of a default .mp4/.avi or any other standard format isnt androids fault. Use MXplayer as above or google 'videolan android xda' and that will play everything.
Thanks guys for all the help. Downloaded mx player. Works great. U love that's site

When I pin files to be stored locally on the phone, I can't find them anywhere. There are 2 reasons I care.
1. Every time I flash a new rom, I have to re download the files.
2. I can't get winamp to find the files.
I tried googling it, but the only thing I could find was that it is stored on the sd card under data and play music, but the folder is empty when I check it.
Anyone with any ideas?

I actually found them. Unfortunately, the song files are named numerically so I don't know if I can just transfer them back to that directory after clearing cache. The files are stored in the root directory at:

Google does not let you use them other than on your phone through Google play because you can pirate the songs if they let you transfer them freely. Its copy right infringement

wws12: Can you stream those songs? Google Play does only allow use from 10 different devices. After flashing a few custom roms (each ne version counts as a new device, also it is the same hardware device) my 10 were used up and on the eleventh i couldn't download or stream any music from the online library. Maybe it is the same for you. You can unregister devices on the website.

Question: How many times have you flashed a new ROM since using Google Play Music? And have you checked out your registered devices? How many are there? If you are a serial flasher like many here on XDA, you need to deregister some older versions of your phone.
Go to a web browser on your computer. Go to the Google Play Music make sure you are logged in. Get to the music settings and check out your devices there.
I have never flashed a ROM on my N7.

I am not just talking about your N7, do you have a phone you flashed and used Google music with? If so, each different rom will be recognized as a different device, dependant on the rom dev and how they listed your device.
Ok next question; How much space do you have on your device? It's not nearly full is it?
Nope I don't think its even half. Got the 16gb version.

Yes you can download songs to your nexus 7.
Select the artist or albums tab in Google music
Then click the 3 dots in the top right hand corner (menu button).
Select "choose on device music"
You should now see a pin with the option to save off line next to the album

You sir, are amazing! Worked like a charm. Quick question, is there a way to only download specific songs instead of the whole album?

Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
If I want a song (or even album) on my N7, I just go to Google Music on a PC and use Music Manager to download all to my PC, then select what I want on the N7. It's much faster this way (once music is on your PC), and gives you a complete back up of what's online.
PS: If you go to Albums and select "choose on device music"... then swipe to songs, and select a song, and another song... etc... then turn off wifi, the individual songs seem to be added on your device. Not sure how many that will do it for, I only tried 2.

Short answer.... No.
What the guy in the post before me is referring to is caching, which the play music will do to your last songs played based on your app settings.
There use to be a feature to back up individual song, but it has been removed in the latest update to the music app... so this doesn't just affect the nexus 7.
The folks at XBMC just released their newest version 12.0 "Frodo" Beta 2, and it's working great on our Galaxy Note 2. I though I'll share it with you guys, especially those who familiar with XBMC. Anyone interested can download the apk here http://xbmc.org/download/

Awesome. Great catch! My only issue with it is that it doesn't seem to want to detect the S-pen. For instance, when I was adding my media paths took out the s-pen to tap the folders and nothing. No screen tap detection. Anyone else having that issue?
Also, it took me a second to locate my external SD. Selecting external media actually takes you to the internal "sdcard" I had to go root filesystem, storage, extsdcard. My first Samsung device (been a HTC guy since the blue angel) so perhaps this is the norm but throwing that out there for those who may not know.
I can confirm that s-pen doesn't work with this app. But nonetheless, its still a great program. Since this app is still in beta, it could only get better.

In case you didn't find it- it's all in the setup...
For anyone who may not know xbmc stands for:
X-Box Media Center (of which it was(/is?) originally a port)
There are tons of add-ons you can install. Getting it fully setup can become an on-going evolution.
By hooking your device up to your TV & running this app you can essentially cancel your cable subscription and replace it with xbmc
There are also some additional skins & add-ons which can be found & downloaded elsewhere with a regular browser and installed from within the app (meaning: you can't get to everything that is truly available for this app from within it, although there's plenty available there...)
