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..

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.

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

Since I got this table a year ago, browsing in chrome was always kinda wacky.
It is slow and unresponsive, clicking on links takes forever.
Anyone else? Is this an issue with the tablet itself? Any fix?
Hi, was my problem too, no i have downloaded xposed module app setting, configurated chrome to screen 320x480 (for use phone interface that is, really strange.. very faster than tablet version) and.. voilà.. now chrome is really fast and for open only desktop site use this hack: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1811101.
You could try downloading the Chrome Samsung support library from the Play store. I've found it really improves Chrome performance on Samsung devices.
(Can't post links yet) /store/apps/details?id=com.chrome.deviceextras.samsung
Does anyone else notice lag when using some of the Google apps? I notice it most in Chrome, but I also notice it in Google Now, and even the play store when scrolling. Also, scrolling in Facebook and Instagram feels... off. Like it's too heavy or something. Maybe I'm just used to the iPhone 6 Plus where it's insanely smooth.
Hope someone can help, this is driving me nuts.
I cannot get YouTube links to open the YouTube app from chrome. They will always open in chrome.
The problem started a few weeks/ months ago with chrome beta. I just switched to straight stable chrome and the problem wasn't there. Starting yesterday the problem is back in the regular stable chrome app.
I tried -
Resetting all default app settings from app manager.
Forcing stopping and clearing cache / data of chrome and chrome beta and YouTube.
Uninstalling chrome beta
Uninstalling (updates) chrome and reinstalling.
Uninstalling and reinstalling YouTube.
Anyone have any magic for me?
Well, I don't use chrome as I like stock browser the best. To me it prolly will work if you ran framework and used complete action plus to set opening defaults to web links and external apps.
Just wondering if anyone use Opera Browser. I switched to this browser since it does a nice job with word wrap and formats the text into a column that makes it perfectly readable. Dolphin had this until the Nougat update and now it lost it's word wrap abilities.
However with the Moto Z Play whenever I use Opera if I try to switch to a link to fast or do too many presses the app seems to lock up or take it's time to catch up. If it can't catch up it then pops up a screen to either Wait, restart, or shut down the browser.
I am trying to figure out if it's my phone or just the Opera browser that is causing all these problems.
Anyone else have these problems with Opera?
I have a Pixel XL which seems to run Opera a little bit more smooth and doesn't have this problem. However I want to use the Moto Z Play due to the excellent battery life. The Pixel while nice and fast and excellent camera just doesn't have the Moto z play's battery life which I need more than the speed.
I occasionally use Opera. Haven't noticed this behavior.
i get this a lot with Opera on the Priv with certain websites (Amazon Music is a trouble spot), but i haven't had any issues on the Z Play.
I would suggest getting in contact with Opera and see if they can help.
Across all my devices Opera is very inconsistent.It either eats up all available RAM or is just plain crap as a browser .
