I believe this is also a problem with the 1st gen Nexus 7, that it does not identify as a tablet in the Play Store. I am unable to download tablet edition apps for my Nexus 7 (2013). Specifically, I cannot get Amex's app, I can't even get the regular mobile app as this isn't a mobile! I also cannot get Bank of America's tablet app although I can get their mobile app. Being that these are secure banking apps, I don't just want to take them of anyone, I want to get them directly from a reputable source, is there any tested safe device name I can change my N7's build.prop to, to make it work?
Also, being that as of now my N7 is not rooted, is there any problem with changing the build.prop of my Galaxy S3 to a tablet so I can avoid rooting my N7 for the time being?

Has anyone been successful in getting the DirecTV app to stream live TV to this tablet? When I use the Direct TV app it does not show me any channels that can be streamed. The tablet is connected to my DirecTV receiver because I can change channels and use other remote controls from the tablet but streaming is not available. Is this tablet just too new and not listed in the DIRECTV system as being compatible with streaming yet?

It's the same with me, everything works but live streaming. It must be an issue with the device being so new, I can stream Live TV via the Directv App just fine on my LG Optimus G Pro.
Edit-I found out why we can't stream live tv on our new Note 10.1's, they don't support streaming on Android tablets yet-
"Please note: On Demand video streaming is currently available on iPad. Coming soon to Android tablets."
http://www.directv.com/technology/mobile_apps/ipad
There's a difference between on demand streaming and live TV streaming. Take a look at the DirecTV app for Android tablets in the Play Store and the second sentence says "now you can watch live TV in the room with your home." There is a separate app for smartphones and for tablets for DirecTV.
I just got my Galaxy Note 2014 yesterday and haven't tried it yet. I was replacing a old Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 that I got from AT&T, and my old tablet streamed live TV just fine. It also worked fine streaming NFL Sunday Ticket. Just make sure that you installed the Directv Tablet version. I'll repost again once I give it a try.

Irrespective of what their website says, the text within the description of the DirecTV tablet app in the Google Play Store says, without any ambiguity, the tablet apps supports streaming live video. There are plenty of other customers with Android tablets that currently have live TV streaming. Their website is simply not accurate and not up to date.
I can stream live TV through my DirecTV receivers onto my Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition.

Here's something I noticed. I have no idea if this means it's an app issue or a directv issue or both but...
I have a rooted galaxy note 2 and a stock note 2014. When I was initially setting up my note 2014, I used the Helium/Carbon backup app to selectively sync certain application from my note 2 to my note 2014. Mind you, this was before I found out directv has mobile phone version and a tablet specific version of the app.
At any rate, when I use the phone version on my tablet it would allow me to stream most channels live. However, when I uninstalled the phone version and installed the tablet version, live streaming become broken for all except 5 channels
My suggestion is to use the phone version on the tablet until directv makes the necessary update on their side allow live streaming on tablets.
Thougth I would provide some new information since it appears much has changed since the last post.
My Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 tablet is fully rooted. Both the DirectTV Live TV Streaming app and the GenieGo apps work great. I have the Wifi only version. Anywhere I can get a WifI connection I can watch stream either live or recorded shows.
My Galaxy Lite is a different story. I rooted it in order to change the opening/closing animations and to remove the startup/shutdown sounds. I used Titanuim Backup to "freeze" all the bloatware. GenieGo worked but Live Streaming did not. With Android 4.2.2 and the latest firmware update I am able to "freeze" all the bloatware from within the application manager in Android. I no longer needed Titanium Backup. After restoring a stock ROM and verifying that I could stream live and recorded shows, I started monkeying with the phone to see exactly what "broke" streaming. Turns out with Super SU installed, streaming was broken. Uninstalling Super SU magically allowed streaming to happen. So, I put in place a custom recovery image, booted to recovery mode, used the file explorer (which had root access) to remove the startup/shutdown sounds as well as replacing the startup/shutdown animation. After booting into the phone (which is NOT rooted at this point) I was able to shut off all the bloatware using the built in Android application manager. I now have no startup/shutdown sounds, custom startup/shutdown animations, all the bloatware is disabeled AND all the Directv apps work great, either through Wifi or 4G.
Just thought I would share.
Due to my sons addiction to Minecraft I've been forced to install the "Screen Time Parental Control" app on his rooted Kindle. [play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.screentime.rc[/url] ... I'm a noob so it won't let me link!]
It does an excellent job EXCEPT for communicating with the accompanying Remote Control app that I have installed on my phone (so that I can grant him extra time / block his useage etc) [play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.screentime.rc][/url]
The Screen Time app on the kindle is obviously communicating to the Remote Control app on my phone because I can see exactly how long my son has been on his kindle and what programs/apps he's using. However, the reverse communication is not working ... I cannot grant extra time / stop his time.
I have contacted the app developed who says that they use Google Play Service to do the communicating, but that they do not currently support Kindles. I have Google Play Service installed and set as a system app, so does anyone know how I might go about getting this app to function properly.
Is it still on amazon is or a custom ROM? I could guess that if its while your phone is on data that it could be a port forwarding issue if the tablet is on WiFi and you are somewhere else trying to connect to it, but I am just guessing.

Thanks for your help.
It's still on Amazon. I think you are right about port forwarding. It says this in the developers troubleshooting page ...
""Play", "Pause" messages are not getting to my child's device"
Make sure the system time, date and time zone on yours and your child's devices are correct. If you use a firewall that restricts the traffic to or from the Internet, you need to configure it to allow connectivity with Google's messaging servers (the ports to open are: 5228, 5229, and 5230).​Have you any idea what that means ... or how I ensure those ports are open?!!
You have to port forward the ports on your router that the kindle is on. It is really easy to do, there a site that tells how to do it: http://portforward.com/
I don't know if it has Google services listed as an app, but any game/app will work, just use the ports mentioned instead of what they would say for a different game/app and see if you can get it working.

Hi I have an stock Nexus 7 running android. I have been looking for a way to cast my phone onto my tablet. I want my S6 to connect to my nexus via whatever means (preferably a wireless means bluetooth, wifi, etc...). I kind of want my nexus to be essentially a touchscreen monitor for my phone.
The only things I can find when I search for this are all related to chromecast and miracast trying to use their android devices to cast to their TV's.
Thank you for you assistance.
Easy...
- on your phone install https://opensourceexcedio.wordpress.com/2010/10/28/droid-vnc-server/
- on N7 install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.realvnc.viewer.android
As an extra bonus you'll be also able to control your phone from Linux/Mac/Windoze.
Thanks for the advice. I am having trouble getting it to work but this seems to be what I am trying to do.
I have rooted Kindle Fire's in my classroom (because it was the cheapest way to get devices in the hands of my students!) but at school I cannot download apps from the Google Play Store (Appstore works fine). I used Root Junky's Super Tool and I'm wondering if there's something with how it's running that is causing a security issue with the school's wifi, as I can download the apps at home and I can use the school's wifi to download apps from my phone.
If so, how would I work around this? Since most of the apps I use are from the Play Store and it's really cumbersome to have to bring them home for installs/updates, etc.
I rooted them myself but am generally clueless about how things work. I'd appreciate any suggestions!

Hi. I have 5 of the Nexus 7 2013 tablets and get my tv through spectrum. The TV app for Android from Spectrum is great and usually works very well. However when I install it on my Nexus 7 tablets I always get the dvs-1001 error, which is channel unavailable. The strange part is that the TV app works on one of the Nexus 7 tablets. The working tablet runs a factory stock MOB30X rom, unlocked bootloader, and TWRP 3.0.2.
The tablets that don't run the TV app run everything else just fine. Some of them have the factory stock ROM (like the working tablet) and some of them run the pure Nexus 6.0.1 rom and are rooted, with the Xposed app and Root Cloak. All of the non-working tablets always give me the dvs-1001 error, and used to run the tv app up to about a year ago. My Samsung phone and my Nexus 9 tablet both run the tv app with no problems.
The working and non-working tablets are identical as far as I can tell and of course go through the same Wi-Fi network. I've flashed the non-working tablets with Factory and custom roms and done everything else I can think of to try to get the TV app working, but no luck. I'm open to any ideas, thanks for reading this far.
