This could be a deal breaker for the next couple months!
Lots of incompatible apps!

Yeah you would think Verizon would make their flagship app work with their flagship phone. But hey, at least they didn't screw up the release date of the 15th...
The NFL Mobile app doesn't work on the G-Nex? What the hell am I paying $10 a month for?
My 3 week old RAZR is sitting on eBay and it does something very important that the G-Nex doesn't. This is sad news.
Well at least my wife has a RAZR. I can watch it on hers.
I agree. This really pisses me off. I work out of town all the time and cant catch up on my NFL. I'm going to reactivate my Bionic and maybe return the Nexus if they don't resolve this quick. There are a bunch off apps that don't run or constantly crash. Verizon visual voicemail keeps crashing in the background also.
VZW states it is a 3rd party app
VZW Support @VZWSupport
@calKno This is a third-party application and we do not have an ETA of when it will be available on Nexus. ^LA

The app has certain approved devices that work with it.
I miss it only for the radio streams and the fieldview.

I never used it for the video, just the stats and to keep up with the game when I can't watch or listen to it.

I just don't understand why you would tie it to devices instead of just a Verizon account.

I guess it is a VZW "sponsored" app, so they limit to their phones and dropped the ball in having the developers prep it for SGN or ICS.

It's my understanding that -all- 4G phones, of which the G-Nex is included, are supposed to be able to use NFL Mobile for free. FWIW.
Yes....this is ridiculous. I was looking forward to streaming highlights and video. Now I can't even are a flipping score?
Several other apps not working as well.
I still love this thing though.

I'm from the Netherlands and a great NFL fan.
all my NFL apps are working fine on the GNex.
fantasy football
gamepass mobile
NFL app (this one lets you view scores and highlights and news and such)
so is there a different app you're trying to use?
ps: all apps from NFL enterprises.
The APP we use in the states lets us watch the games live, We get full covereage of the NFL network games (thursday,saturday,sunday,monday night games) and for the bulk of them we use Red Zone to let us watch all the good plays while they happen.
Any chance of being able to maybe.... tinker.... with the ini? maybe trick it into thinking that its something different or maybe its just an issue of screen size again. Similar to swypes issue?

It is a bummer that this doesn't work, but there seems to be a little self-contradiction here - a lot of complaints that Verizon GNex isn't a stock google phone, and then more complaints that they didn't do more to change the phone so that it would work with Verizon sponsored apps.
Gang, after Samsung decided to advertise the hell out of Group Cast. It looks like an interesting and useful feature so I decided to give it a shot. First off, it was difficult to setup, something like 15 clicks or so to get two devices connected. I could barely figure it out myself, much less expect my wife or my friends who are not tech savvy to set it up. Also, it only works between GSIII's. The odds of two GSIII's getting together, well, you can calculate it. My previous phone was a GNex, and I discovered this app called Tapestry, and it is a really polished photo sharing app and it connects in 3 clicks. It also has nifty features like "swipe to download" to directly download images peer-to-peer, and also synchronized pinch/zoom. It also works with all Android devices, not just GSIII's. Has anyone else played with Group Cast? I'd like to get your thoughts. Has anyone else played with Tapestry? I'd like to get your comparison/contrast on it as well.
Yea I've used it but within small groups of people like my co-workers. If it's just you and your wife why not just s beam?

S Beam is simply a file sharing/transfer tool. I'm more into the experience of sharing photos and the ability to talk about the photos at the same with multiple people, ie with my aunt, uncle, newphew, sister, around the living room, for example.
And can you use S-Beam to multiple people at the same time or is it a 1:1 thing?
I would like to start watching some movies on my note 2. I don't want to download them to my device. I was thinking of using drop box and a program which puts dvds as a file. It takes a rather long time and I would rather not want to do this every time. Is there a website or something that allows you to Stream your own movies for free?
most movies nowadays come with ultraviolet copies. if your dvds don't then try setting your computer up as an ftp server and host them yourself

if you were trying to "share" movies over your own home network, like watch movies that were on a home computer in another room, that would be easy. Stupid easy. Set your folder with movies as "shared" over the network, use something like BubbleUPnP player, or even XBMC for Android (quite a bit more complicated to set up, but Way Worth it, once you set up the library and shares) to browse and watch. (with XBMC, I woiuld set it up on the host sys, set up the libraries and metadata there for sharing over the network.)
if you are trying to "share" movies over the internet (from your home, I assume?), for you to watch when you were out at another location, well that's a hobby unto itself, and outside the scope of what you could expect here at XDA. Learning how to set up a "real" server (FTP, SMB/CIFS), takes time and (at least self-) education. People get paid to do that kind of stuff, right? Worth learning, if you have the time. But I don't have the time to even teach you the basics. There are no basics.
Not to mention most likely your bandwidth upstream from home, on most IPSs, is not very great. I wouldn't want to stream anything but standard definition vid files, And it might "kill" the internet use for anyone at home.
But for fun, here are some basic solutions and/or information for you to explore, get started. If you start to play around with networking, you'll quickly become a "computer genius" to family n friends. :

http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/9659/how-to-install-and-setup-windows-home-server/ (WHS is another fave, even though they dont "make" it anymore, it can still be found, and is a stupid easy way to "get started" in servers if you're comfortable in the Windows environment, I always recommend it to anyone that doesn't want to get into command line *nix kinda stuff, just wants to play around with a functional and easy way to have a server, works great, and completely instantly compatible, obviously, with any Win based PCs at home.)

Good Luck!
I use Remote Media Center from the play store. In conjuction with remote potato server app running on your home computer to serve your media. RMC will utilize MX player to handle the video playback on your phone. (Install MX player). I've been using this setup for almost a year no problem. I've got tons of video and pictures, music I don't need to carry with me.

I downloaded this after seeing your post and have watched every new movie from 2012 I'd wanted to see but wouldn't pay $20 to go sit in a theater full of morons crunching popcorn, slurping soda, texting, talking and making my night miserable what a waste. I haven't been to a theater in 2 year's or so cause of that crap. Price is too high to go watch a movie that you miss half of from the rude idiots acting like they're sitting on their own couch and didnt just pay a small fortune to be there. I can't quite figure out why the prices have gotten so high its not like the theaters have gotten any nicer or more private. I could see a price increase if they weren't packing 200+ people in a 150'x150' room im seats where you're practically sitting on each others lap.

it's basic economics. wherein a business is not considered successful unless there is measurable Growth in profits to show to investors every year. (ie: "how can we squeeze more money from our customers while bringing production costs down/delivering less, and do it better than last year?") theaters have become the worst experience you can have for $15, hands down.
if it wasn't for IMAX, i wouldn't go to theaters at all. even then, at home i've got excellent surround sound, 55" screen. and i get to take pee breaks. and i make way better snacks than Regal. (you haven't lived until you've had my open-faced chopped steak and provolone sandwich)
and people wonder why i'm a verified, unrepentant, and proud pirate. over 700 movies in my collection, and counting. (not to mention TV seasons... and hundreds of thousands of songs...) that's why I maintain a robust server in my basement. any bit of my media collection is accessible by any terminal in the house.
call me a hypocrite if you like, but i never pirate software. and verbally slam those that do. *shrug*
Why would they have an app that allows for not so legal activity in the play store?
Questions like this is why they get pulled........ shhhhhh

Long time Android fan here, but I went the Microsoft route a few months back as the Surface was the best tablet
for me at the time. It was a hard decision to make as I dislike Microsoft due to their patent trolling nonsence,
and it pained me to give them my money. But the Surface is a great piece of kit, has superb build quality, a great
keyboard and kickstand, and has Office built in to it. Oh, and the best touch browser going (Internet Explorer).
So now, a few months later, and Samsung releasae a 10" Amoled tablet. Mmmmm. A game changer.
My main question is this - Office documents. Does the UK version come with the free Hancom Office package? I'll be
wanting to load the Skydrive app on the Tab, download my Word and Excel files, edit them in Hancom, then upload
back to Skydrive. Has anyone tried this scernario? I'd assume there would'nt be a problem doing this, but would
like to hear from anyone with some experience of this.

You can also sideload Microsoft Office for Android. The apk I used didnt seem necessarily tablet-optimized but it works nonetheless.

I got it yesterday and really wasn't impressed with it at all.... Kinda glad I didn't pay for it. Maybe I have to try more apps to really be sure but on first glance I thought it was really bad.

Too grainy for me..not crystal clear and gives me a headache looking at it.

Kinda grainy, not sure if its screen protector or if its normal
Screen door effect is not as bad as people made it out to be. The controller is nice and natural feeling. I suggest using both head straps when you get it. Facebook account is mandatory for Occulus related software. And if you want to browse the internet in VR, get the dedicated Samsung Internet browser app, not the built in Gear VR browser on the bottom menu.

it's been pretty good for me, with low expectations because I didn't see too many games coming out for it (I'm glad that promo gave us a few good games)
but still, needs work and more support
(Drop Dead) was a good experience for me plays a lot like house of the dead plus its free of course so very happy so far
not bad i guess, its not perfect but its free right
only few free stuff in the store mostly demo but over all not bad for a first time VR user
my 8yo daughter is loving it
Used it for about 20 minutes when I first got it. Haven't touched it since. Would have preferred a free SD card instead
Dead and Buried is fun as hell, so is Drop Dead. They make very good use of the controller. The 3 dimensional art in the "Oculus 360 Photos" app is pretty damn cool too, it makes me want to find more 3d art. I also enjoy taking 360 degree photos with my S8+ and then viewing the photos in the Gear VR. Watching videos isn't too bad either, you get that big screen feeling when you're no where near a big screen.

Cris, I received email updates from Samsung with tracking info once it was confirmed sent.
As for the headset, I came in with no expectations and as such, was pleasantly surprised. My entire family thought it was 'cool,' and my wife has actually put in more hours playing Drop Dead than anyone else, lol.
For those with the 'grainy' concerns, have you tried adjusting the image with the scroll wheel thing on top of the headset? I didn't notice it was there until the second day. (I didn't read the manual)
Didn't use the one at all that I got with the S7 edge, not once, and still haven't used the new one. Shoulda sold em. Maybe I still will. Idk they're cool but only for like 10 minutes. That's just me.
VR streaming sucks. I download all 180 and 360 VR content.
