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.
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.

No it's not available in safe mode, I have lg g5 with Android version 7.0 cast screen works perfectly fine on that. But I can't connect my op3 to the same smart tv, It though detects the tv while wifi is on. When I tap to connect... it's just keeps on showing connecting.

On Oos 4.0.2 works for me without issues , but with the most custom Roms , no Chance to cast the Screen to my Bravia.

I repeat, it is not "lacking" this feature. It is available in every OP3 on OOS definitely. It may not be working for some but that doesn't mean that OP3 is "lacking" this feature.
I ahem similar problem. My OP3 is running stock nougat
I cannot use any screen mirroring app other than stock cast app.
Also cannot use screen recording apps. When I start recording, the device locks.
Sony Bravia and OOS 4.0.2 Stock Nougat
Was able to screen before the OOS update.
Any solution found?

Was facing the same issue.
The temp solution i've found is that just Clear all the wifi direct devices in your smart tv WiFi direct settings.
The try connecting it, it will connect for sure.
Hope this resolves the issue.
No problems here
4.0.3 stock with ElementalX kernel
Just to check, does your moto display work consistently and predictably. Mine seems to work only after i have reset my phone. Subsequently, it just stops. It does not seem to be affect by apps or ambient display settings. Is it a software issue or is mine just faulty?

Some innocent (maybe) app yet not ready for MM. Start uninstalling. I use App Install Tracker or a launcher that sorts the app drawer by date. See my signature button for Xperia launcher.
Thanks to both of you for your help. With your help, i have managed to isolate the problem: surprise, surprise, when the animation (2nd and 3rd one under Developer Options) is switched off, the Moto Display stops working!

I can not get mouse toggle to work after upgrading my fire tv 2 box to 5.2.7.0_r1. Does anyone have it working? I even went to the app store and downloaded the latest one (remote for fire tv ) still no go. Any help would be great. Thanks.
Try disabling adb debugging from your developer options, and then re-enable it again, that worked for me on the same rom, I think theres something that's messing with the service, the app itself recommend you that if the state of the service is stuck on "starting" try that workaround, I think that would do the job.

Thank you but, I did try that. It starts fine (says started in bottom corner) but, won't bring up the cursor when double clicking the pause/play button.

No luck, tried that a few times. Thanks though.
there is a fix i found
it seems these guys have the latest APK file for the mouse toggle. it worked great on my fire tv. they also have a couple of troubleshooting guidelines.
I have a Fire TV 4k Is there a mouse toggle that works for it?
I have tried disabled/enabling ADB and the app always gets stuck on starting, reboot does nothing
I have hooked up a real mouse for **** sakes and the damn FireTV does not seem to support a mouse fully as I don't get a cursor on any app and you don't know where you are clicking. It really sucks as many sideloaded apps won't work fine without touch screen or a mouse cursor
