In compatible / issues with apps with JB list

[bigmike20vt]

Hi just wondering if there is such a thread?

I had a look and could not see one, and if not maybe it would be good to make one? so far my experience of JB has been mostly good (but then I was still loving ICS after only GEDing a couple of weeks ago) so far I have noticed. Am sure there are more, but i guess good idea to keep on top of them.

if anyone has any bugs if you post on here i will try to update this list, also if an app is fixed which is on this list if you post and i will check it off as fixed.

I will be taking everyones word on it as i wont be installing loads of apps (i barely get to touch the damn thing due to wife playing cut the rope etc on it!)


General bugs.
=========

Sometimes after exiting an app, I'm no longer able to change between homescreens by touching the sides of the screens

Sometimes the notification LED for emails/messages will keep blinking after the message has been read/cleared from notification bar.



-----------------------------------------------
Apps
====

Time warner cable app
States that it wont support an hdmi output....Works with ICS if I tried to tether to my flat screen but now will jellybean ..no tethering

Chrome
Occasionally causes the entire system to freeze, only solution is to put it on standby then back on.

You can't scroll through your list of books using JB, as it always bounces back to the first in the list.
(The workaround is to use the "simple file list" from the apps' settings.)

BBC iPlayer
Although it was full screen, the display start to dim and then switch off as though it wasn't playing anything. Did not have this issue in ICS.
---------------------
Sopcast - (version 0.8.7)
Video but no Sound high bitrate streams seem to make the app bomb out and exit when trying to cache
----------------------
MOBO Player........................................FIXED 1/8/2012 (You may need to reboot your Xoom for it to work I know I did)
Everytime you launch app, it asks to install codec even though it has been installed already
------------------------
Mizuu ........................................FIXED 3/8/2012
Market says the app is incompatible with device (registered users emailed fix)
--------------------------
Nook Book Cover helper -
Crashes everytime you try to run it
----------------------------
Pulse
Crashing alot after upgrade to JB (screen glitches -brief flashes, horizontal white lines, partial screens) when waking the Xoom up.
----------------------
QuickPic
doesn't recognise new directory structure (Storage/SDCard1 not being shown)
-----------------------

Music Unlimited
Hasn't been working since JB.

Games
====

Towers and Trolls ........................................ (update 6/8/2012) MUCH better now but still dumps out now and then.
Randomly drops out back to the desktop
---------------------
Angry Birds
Freezes up regularly since JB - almost never on ICS (seems to be user dependant)
---------------------
Angry Birds Space.
Minor Graphics corruption
---------------------
Asphalt 7 Never downloads extra files (FIXED 14/7) now loading extra files and works grrrrrrreat!

Platinum Air Hockey
does not work properly. Loads up just fine & gets into the game. But the puck does not respond correctly & just sits on the center line.

With JB just being released in the US it's going to take a bit for all the apps to be updated, I get a few updates every day. For you guys that Gedified some of the country specific apps may take a bit longer fro get updated.

True, and dont get me wrong I am not complaining, I just thought a list of incompatible apps (at the moment) may be handy - if only for interest

[ggrant3876]

This will be the list then.

[bigmike20vt]

well i am happy to edit my 1st post to include anything which anyone else adds.

[ggrant3876]

I'll sticky for you too and you can add the apps as you get more.

Here's what a posted in another thread;

"Something minor but I'm experiencing occasional graphical corruption on Angry Birds Space. Never seen it before on honeycomb or ICS."
"Another bug I've noticed is that sometimes after exiting an app, I'm no longer able to change between homescreens by touching the sides of the screens."

Pulse is crashing alot on me after upgrade to JB. I seem to see screen glitches (brief flashes, horizontal white lines, partial screens) when waking the Xoom up. Screen refreshes (closing an app) seems to have a bit of delay.
