Has anyone else had issues with the Kindle App on the Galaxy Nexus? It will open a few times, but finally freezes while attempting to start. When I reinstall or restart, it will start fine, but that's not really a viable option.
Also, I've been trying out n64oid, and the performance isn't really usable, which is odd, cause it runs on slower phones just fine. What are the chances of an update, and has anyone else experienced this?
n64oid works great for me.. been playing paper mario very well.
Hmm. I went back and tried some of my other roms, and they are working fine. Might just be Re-Volt and Goldeneye. I'll try redownloading them to see if its just the rom, but they might just be buggy.
Still looking to see if anyone else has had the kindle issue.

I've had the Kindle app lock up a few times on ITL41F stock and stock/rooted rom, you can tell right away as it goes black instead of loading the splash-screen, killing the process and then restarting works reliably, it seems to lock up more frequently if you leave a book/ newspaper/ magazine open in the app and then switch to another app.
+1 for Kindle freezing. Annoying but don't forget we are early adopters of ICS and as such a lot of apps will not function correctly for quite some time.

My app still shows the splash screen, but doesn't go any further. (The guy reading the book under the tree)

in fact it ain't only you GNexus users
it used to regularly freeze up my Atrix; or slow it down all the time
No idea how or why thats happening......haven't tried the kindel app on my mum's G2 or any other phone yet
Kindle not working for wife and I either
We both got Verizon GNexus and I think we are going to try contacting Amazon to let them know something's up. We'll inform them of the dedicated thread on XDA if it helps.

Awesome. Hopefully they can sort this out quickly , since the google books apps is lackluster. We really need a known issues thread on here, with updates on how close we are to a fix.
+1 on Kindle issue.
Sometimes opens successfully.
Sometimes freezes on splash screen.
Can't go from Kindle to another app then back to Kindle (multitask), just get black screen.
Have to force-close Kindle to get it working again.
I use the Kindle app daily so I hope they can work it out fast.
+1 on Kindle freezing. I can't find a rhyme or reason for it. When it's frozen I don't even see a running process for it. I have to reboot to fix. very annoying.
Update on my end after getting a GNexus:
Kindle is now very very smooth! No reboots or abnormal freezing like on my Atrix.
GPU forced acceleration is forced on in my dev settings
Still having problems on Gnex LTEs
Kindle app starts up but eventually will freeze and require forced shutdown after navigating away/minimizing it and then returning. No new version released, so either we are a limited number of users and Amazon doesn't need to address it yet, or something is wrong with our setup and we are a minority amongst 4.0.2 users.
Great game but pointless without saves! Everytime I quit it force closes and next time I fire it up, all progress is gone. I've been suggested to just back out but that's what I'm doing, I'm not using home. I hit back as far as it let's me then it won't let me go any furthe, it asks me if I want to quit, I say yes, and force close and my save is gone.
Anybody got a solution?

Same thing here. However at some point I must have done something to get the data stored, since when I restart I'm half way through the first set of races. Only problem is I don't know what I did to force it to update a profile save.
Pity EA haven't fixed it.
this happened to me after i cleared save data ingame...not sure if all these steps are necessary, but heres what i did to fix mine:
-force stopped
-cleared data & cache
-deleted sdcard/Android/data/com.ea.game.realracing2_OTD_na/
-restarted & redownloaded additional files
hope this helps!
I just cleared the cache, and I still see it, but not as frequently. Will probably do the full wipe and reinstall to try and fix it for good.
Sucks when you've accomplished a lot. lol
That's sucks hopefully doesn't hit me been playing since saturday

I'm having the same issue. Only occurs on CM10. Phone- Verizon GS3
The Fix
The solution was on the comments of the play store listing. Simply, when the error window pops up at the end DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING. After a few seconds it disappears and when you reenter the game you'll find your profile has updated (during that period whilst the error window was up). Not sure why they can't just fix it, but that's EA for you.
Up to third tournament with some light gaming.
I reinstalled it and re downloaded data now it saves fine

it works perfect for me I did buy it though, only problem i have is the other cars engine noises randomly when im racing works great with my ps3 pad
I have boot loader v1.4a and twrp v2.2.2.1. I have installed Stock Jelly Bean 4.1.2_r1 for the Kindle Fire [10-10] and i am using it for more then 6 months and i didn't have any problem not even with wifi or sleep, it was working perfectly and i was using the tablet a lot so i am sure it is well tested and had no problems at all. But since two weeks ago the screen started to lock randomly while using the tablet. For example i was playing a game and the virtual joystick locked it self but then i realize and the back, home and recent apps buttons are also not usable but the game was going on, so i click the hard key on the bottom to lock the screen and when i click again to unlock and i slide the lock to unlock the screen the game is paused and when i resume everything continue with no problem but then after a while it happen again and it happen on random games or apps. I don't know what is the problem if anyone has solution or similar problem please write to me.

One suggestion is to do a full wipe (factory reset, cache, dalvik and system) and go with a much newer ROM Many issues have been cleared up in the last six months.
Thanks for the reply i was thinking the same but i tried to fix it first, but as you say i will give it a try on the new 4.2.2

Hi,
I wondered if anyone could help me, Im trying to disable the 30 min sleep on my Fire TV stick as I need it to remain on a webpage 24hrs as a communication tool. I tried used the dolphin browser with the auto refresh but it crashes and I cant root the stick. I tried a stay awake app too which didn't work either, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Have you tried Tasker? That maybe able to do this for you? If it's not possible it maybe because you need root to stop the timeout? & root isn't possible via the fire stick

There is a trial version in the play store but if you have a rooted phone,tablet or what ever just buy it, it was one of the first apps I bought & have used it for years & is so useful, a little hard to use at first but well worth learning how to use it.

I'd imagine it was something like - when app open, display timeout (then input what ever length of time you wany it to stay open for?)

You are right i posted a bit quick. But i have found that it will not sleep with certain apps for instance i played a hour long you tube mix of music and it never went to sleep but when i play a normal music app its sleeps.
Have any of you guys been able to find a fix? i couldn't even use tasker as it wanted me to hit the + button but due to the limited functionality of the remote control which accompanies the fire stick, i cant even get down to it. is there anyway to prevent the fire tv stick from sleeping ? as i need it to display a website, constantly
Not sure if this works on FTV stick and/or non-rooted, need to be tested. It works on FTV2 rooted (don't have a stick to test).

No, one version back, I think. Mine is at 5.0.5 (537174420), pre-rooted RBox.
have the same issue here... have you find a solution?
Any updates on this (2018) ?
I'd like to share my work-around as of 2018. I install "Stay Alive" app on my fire stick and open it. After you open it, it will keep the screen awake. Keep in mind that it's a third party app, so you have to sideload it, it should be quite easy to google for a tutorial on how to sideload apps onto fire tv stick.
There are many other apps in the play store that claim to keep the screen alive, but in most of them it takes quite some navigation to set them up and navigation within third-party apps can be tricky using fire tv remote or app. Fortunately, Stay Alive has the right settings (keeping the screen alive forever) enabled by default, so just opening it does the job!
Simple TV Display (No Sleep Webpage TV) - an app that helps solves the the original post. Lets you put in a webpage, set how often you want to refresh, and then shows the webpage while keeping it the screen awake
Use a program called Stay Alive! It will appear not to work and complain about google play services not being installed, but my launcher is always open after I turn my tv on in the morning now, with CEC enabled too.
Does anyone on here have a Ring doorbell? I just installed one today and it sucks on my XL. It freezes, I can't talk to who's out there and can't hear them. Also it takes a few seconds when I touch the screen for it to recognize it. Like I hit my home button and 5 seconds later it finally closes the app. The weird thing is it works great on my Nexus 7. Anyway just wondering if anyone else has the same problem or any ideas on how to fix it.

So obviously this was supposed to say Ring Doorbell Problem. How do I fix that. Nothing is going right for me today I guess.
I have the Ring and had similar problems in the beginning. However, it settled down over time. Give it a few days, and maybe uninstall and reinstall the app. Good luck.
Thanks. Hopefully it will settle down. I tried uninstalling and installing but still doesn't work. I don't understand this phone. It seems to have too many problems.

After upgrading my Galaxy S7 to the Android N beta I'm having issues with the Ring videos. Video playback (live or streaming or downloaded and played back) of Ring videos is basically broken. Playback freezes up, only the latter part of the video seems to play for a bit.
Everything is working fine now, maybe a reboot was all that was needed?
I have ring doorbell on my Pixel XL . I had problems hooking it up to my phone . Finally got to hook after an hour. No problems since

It seems like N has some real problems. I can't get my phone to stay connected to my GMC vehicle and apps can cause it to lock up and not work. I had most of the same problems when my 6P updated. Hope it gets fixed soon.

I've figured out the issue. I have a Huawei watch. When my watch is connected that's when the problems happen. No idea how to fix it other than trying to turn off Bluetooth before opening the notification from ring app.
