3.2.1 Update in US - Sony Tablet S

Just upgraded right now. Didn't test it yet.

updated an hour ago. i had error opening the ps store and video unlimited app after the update. but it works fine now after i restart the device. i guess it just needed a restart. screen rotation does seems faster and performance does seem a little smoother. i dont notice any thing else different yet.

Market has a mind of its own

For the last few days, the market has worked perfectly at times and other times it will take 2 minutes just to load the first page. I'm on wifi so I don't believe that connection is a problem. Also, when I receive a notification for app updates, it will go to the downloads page but will be blank. Does anybody else have this issue or know a way to correct it?
btw, I'm on leak v3 if that matters
hey ive been having the same problem for awhile now,im also on leak v3. but im not using WIFI n when i do it still happens,dont know what it is. maybe others have had this problem but thought nothing of it,we'll see
rebooting the phone and going straight to the market seems to fix it temporarily.
-scratch that, I can get into the market but can't update anything.

Question about MLB At Bat streaming (no, not about build.prop)

I followed jkabaseball's directions to spoof the NC as SCH-I800. Enables the streaming video, which is great. The problem I'm having is that when the stream loads, it doesn't play smoothly. What's weird is that it isn't stuttering as you would normally expect, but rather the video speeds up and then slows down.
Anyone else experienced this? If not and your streaming works fine, can you tell me your setup? Seems to be some kind of performance issue.
I've got Tablet Tweaks with OC at 1.1Ghz.
Thanks.
I sometimes get this for the first 30 seconds - 1 minute, but then it settles down.
I occasionally see what you are seeing, but not always, and it usually clears up.
For me, it seems that I can play the game video for anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes and then the screen turns white. Restarting the app doesn't usually restore it. Even rebooting doesn't seem to help.
Anyone else see this behavior? Does the app just suck or is it my device?
I am in CM7 build 41 and dalingrin's kernel 18C (but saw this behavior with previous cm7 and kernel versions), and my wifi connection is pretty fast and reliable (~16Mb ).

Would you be able to provide the link to jkabaseball's directions? I've been trying to figure out a way to stream MLB at Bat on my Nook. Thanks.
Never mind. Found it.

I am in the same boat as you. Sometimes it'll load up right away, sometimes I get 20 white screens before it loads. Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to when it works.
FWIW, I was able to solve the constant white screen issue.
Background: I had purchased the MLB At Bat app for my HTC Evo, so when I got the NC up and running I just went and downloaded the version in the Market that was already "purchased". This was the version that was getting me the white screen problems.
So, I uninstalled this app and sideloaded a different MLB At Bat .apk that I got from other sources. For whatever reason, this version seems to pull up the stream right away 100% of the time, although the problem I have now is that the video and audio aren't in sync (the video is a full second or two ahead of the audio).
Anyone experienced this? So frustrating!
somebody help, i have a mixture of all that. sometimes just a white screen sometimes fast then stops sometimes plays for like 4 seconds perfectly then goes to white screen with just audio HEEEELLLLLPPPPPPP
EDIT: i installed an older version of flash player and i havent had a problem yet. i attached the version thats been working for me

Thanks for posting this.
Unfortunately for me, I gave it a try without much luck. Like the other versions, I can watch for several minutes before the video freezes or turns completely white. Don't know how many restarts, wipes, retries until it finally works again.
I hope it's still working for you.
I almost hate to mention it because I'll probably jinx it, but the flash player update (v. 10.3) seems to make this work really well so far tonight.
Not sure if anyone still viewing this thread, but if you download location spoofer, and set your location to mexico (i'm using Cancun) you can view the postseason TV feed, and not just the camera angle version they give you for the postseason.
I too discovered this ability last evening. I put myself in Germany, but none the less it worked well. Too bad I didn't figure this out till the 4th inning of my game.

New Software update coming tomorrow!

Check to see if ur PS store is still working. Mine keeps giving me an error 80080018 code then shuts down. Everything seems to work fine though.
I get the same error.
Same here, but it did seem to help a wifi issue I was having

Just got the update pushed to my device. I'm guessing battery life is still going to be an issue?
After the update today, I can't access the PS store app as well as video unlimited. It give me some error code.
i didn't get any update......
My store is working. Haven't really checked the wifi issue.
ps store is working now for me! so is video unlimited. screen rotation seems a little faster and overall performance seems a little smoother. wi-fi issues seems to fix for me.
wifi issue still not fixed

Really, that is crappy.
Same here... wifi still disconnects when screen turns off but overall I am happy with my S. After the update it does appear to be a little fatser/responsive when using it.
I just updated my Tablet S and I find it faster than before after updating.

[cm7] internal build issues to date

I've been playing around with cm7 since release, internal build so I haven't run into the brick problem, but I have noticed a couple issues that I never had with a plain 1.4.0 rooted nook tablet.
First, I am losing wifi connectivity when I let the tablet sleep for more than a few minutes. Wifi will remain on, but just scans indefinitely while finding no networks. Sometimes I have to toggle wifi off and on several times before it starts working again. I have never had it lose connectivity while it was active and doing something, only when I set it down for several minutes and then wake it up.
Secondly the youtube app has locked up my tablet requiring a reboot several times. Sometimes this happens on the first video played, sometimes I can get up to 4 or 5 before the screen just goes black and all input is ignored. I would have left this info on the alpha release thread, but I can't post there yet and wanted to pass this info along. I'm having a great time fooling around with it, and so far these are the only issues I've noticed.
I haven't had the wi-fi isses that I've noticed. Only things I've ran into are those already being discussed in the dev forum - the near-brick experience and larger apps not installing.
In spite of almost bricking, I've still been using the alpha over the last couple days and am definitely loving the freedom and speed over stock. Can't wait to see how awesome it becomes with further development.
The wifi issue can be fixed by adjusting the settings. You just need to turn off wifi sleep. I think this is a long time cm7 bug and not unique to this build. I have reverted to stock for now so I can't guide you through it, but I am pretty sure it's an easy adjustment. (I couldn't go without hulu while in the middle of watching a series.)

Yep, you just go to Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> WiFi Settings then press the menu button. This brings up a small menu bar with two options. Tap "Advanced" and you can change your wifi sleep policy there.

I believe the brick issue is in both the internal and SD release. Be sure to stay away from that SD card format button.

Yeah, I'm not sure where the misconception that it's the SD-Card version causing the problem, unless it's just confusion because the problem was cause by an SDCard Format....I think the issue occurs in either, and I know for sure the internal is succeptible to it, because mine is internal and I was an early-bricker.
Ok, my fault for not being clear I guess. I have no conceivable reason to format an sd-card from within the cm7 alpha release so I have continued using it. Turning wifi to always on seems to have fixed my wifi issues, with a negative impact on battery life.
Youtube is still crashing my NT with regularity but that probably has something to do with the generally bad video performance.

Yeah, Celtic and Gonce are working on fixing the video drivers. Right now they're a bit iffy.
-Unable to install some .apks and some apps from the market.
-Color is weird in some games (like blue instead of green)
-B&N Nook app not syncing or not working at all.
I have not used Netflix on it yet so I'm not sure of the quality for that or youtube. I have no need to wipe SD card so will continue to explore any bugs.

CM7 beta bug report
Hello, I can't post to the development forum yet, but I thought the devs working on the next CM7 release for the NT should know about a potential bug. Also, I've only began using an android device about a month ago, so please forgive any noobish remarks. If after reading this, someone thinks it's important for the upcoming CM7 build release, please let someone on the development team know. Thanks.
I've been using an internal install of the beta build since it was released yesterday morning.
Everything has been working, very well, and I haven't been attempting to format sd cards from the device.
I've had one crash of ADW launcher when trying to add a playlist through the music player widget. I had a minor wifi hiccup that required toggling the wifi on and off to resolve. And a crash of the notification bar, when I attempted to click on an email notification message, which resolved by itself, seconds later.
The bug I'm most concerned about happened just about an hour ago. I noticed the battery getting low, so i plugged it in, powered on. It started charging, so i left it alone, a little while later, I looked at it, and the "n" on the charger had changed from orange to green, indicating a full charge. I awoke the nook from sleep to find that it was no longer charging, but that the battery was only about half charged. I unplugged it, and plugged it back in, but the status light was orange for only a second, before changing back to green, and no more charging.
I powered it off, and plugged it it (which of course made it turn back on /facepalm), but then powered it down through the power console as soon as CM7 booted. I has been powered off, and as far as i can tell charging normally, as indicated by the orange status of the charger's indicator. I intend to leave it powered off, and charging, until such time as the charging indicator turns green.
There may be some information here that is valuable to the Developers and you have attempted to articulate everything well.
However, is there some reason you chose to create a new thread instead of posting your issue In This One?
Perhaps the moderators can combine these threads but I'm sure the developers are more apt to look in one thread then trying to chase down multiple ones.
Good luck with your issues.
Aw crud. Totally didn't see that thread. If a mod could please combine, it would be appreciated.
Maybe the bug thread should be stickied?

I've been having crashing/force closes trying to stream video from sites like youtube.....but with a more mature content....if you know what I mean.
If I'm being too obscure....basically I can't stream porn onto it. Which, imo, is a device-killing bug!
(not really)
On the plus side, it seems like it charges pretty well through a USB connection now, where, if I'm not mistaken, it would not do so on stock. Although I only had stock for like 3 hours before zerging it, so I can't compare it very well....
I was also sitting up waiting on the release of this and have been running it every since then. the only real bugs I have seen is the unable to install alot of apps from the market as it gives the cant write to sdcard which is documented in the dev forums. my wireless does not seem to drain my battery much at all but the device itself never wanted to go into sleep mode unless I forced it into sleep. I changed the screen timeout and changed it right back and the issue resolved itself. Wireless does commonly go from full signal to 2 bars though but even when at 2 bars the connection seems fine and no loss of speed. as far as apps over 20 meg. the only ones I tried I had the apk file stored on my sd card and installed from there and they all installed just fine.
the device seems way more responsive now and I am absolutely loving it although i do miss the nook reader app itself and the one I downloaded from the market gives ab internal error : exception executing the command when I try and sign in Cant wait for the next release alpha or beta I would love to test it.

Go to the "Nook" folder on your sd card, then delete it. then try to sign in on the nook reader. This has worked for others who now have the nook app up and running on cm7

Mostly I'm seeing the occasional app not installing. Every time it has been because "sdcard is not mounted". Even though it obviously it mounted. Aldiko reader is my current villain in this regard. No Wireless problems, but I changed the advanced settings right away. Interface is nice and fast.
Does anyone have any problems with installing games like need for speed

When I am on miui 12 global rom I cannot run Netflix. It simply cannot be installed. However I can run Netflix without problem on eu miui 12 rom.
There are multiple types of error in netflix. I have made a guide related to the same. It's is almost complete. I will drop down the guide link here when it is finished.
