So, this tablet is a great purchase don't get me wrong but the more I play with it the more I see force closing, freezing, and lag. Just not as snappy as my phone. My question is, is it the tablet or is it jellybean? I know jellybean is brand spankin new, so could this be the reason why these apps are force closing? Facebook and ALL browsers I've tried are the worst. And also for some reason it freezes a lot just when I go to my settings. Very annoying waiting for the simple stuff. Let me know if I'm the only one please. Thanks

Im the opposite way. all my apps run smoothly. I may get a bit of lag once in a blue moon but it doesnt bother me. Chrome is also very quick too.
Well if you ask Rovio, it's jelly beans fault. I asked them about Amazing Alex not being available and got:
"Unfortunately Nexus 7 can not be added to the compatible devices due to its non standard way of reading the game's manifest file. This is something we can not change, it's up to the device manufacturer and Operation System manufacturer."
Amazing Alex is running beautifully on my N7. Available from Amazon App Store, so that pretty much makes that last post a complete fabrication of fact.

I also thought that Amazing Alex being incompatible seemed weird given that it works on Tegra phones...
A load of applications just don't seem to be ready for high resolutions, and don't look right. Given that this device has truly taken off I imagine everyone will start to include 1280 layouts.
I'm grabbing stuff through the Play Store onto my Tab 2 7.0 and the using ROM Toolbox to make a backup, then sideloading the backup .apks on the N7. So far everything has worked just peachy. Probably my number one annoyance at this point with the device. (Previous number one annoyances were "Why is this thing so hard to root after the last OTA or is it my Tab 2 drivers getting in the way?", and after that it was "How in the world do I get Flash to work, why is Dolphin HD not working with Flash?")

You guys should email Rovio.
Amazon Appstore doesn't have strict device policies for apps, so that's why you were able to install it and find out it works fine.
The Play Store, developers have tons of settings for device policies on apps, so they can exclude some devices, or can automatically exclude some devices (and they don't even know that it did).

Funny, it wasn't available for download from the Play store as of last night. I guess Rovio must have updated the software?

I agree that what Rovio told me is bs, as sideloading produced no issues. I was just saying what Rovio told me.

Rovio is the developer that created Angry Birds. Amazing Alex is from the developer Rovio.
Why is there yet another thread about app compatibility? Are these people all fresh and new to Android or something? Relax, the OS just launched, give it a few weeks - this is ridiculous now!
Even though YouTube app runs, it is indeed incompatible. Go to Play Store, you won't see it under your "Installed" list. You can't search it in Play store either (because it's incompatible with JB).
Is spotify supposed to be working? I ask as I cannot get the search feature to work at all and so am limited to playing my playlists only.
Amazing Alex HD plays fine here. The only game I found to run like crap is the Not-So-Amazing-Spider-Man.
-Its probably Tegra drivers and not Jelly Bean's fault.

Looking through the google play store a lot of apps cannot be installed on my N7 because its not compatible with them.
But for many I can't see how or why it wouldn't be compatible.
1. Is compatibility for the N7 an opt in process or are those apps testing for some capability or another they cannot find?
2. Is there a way to force such apps to install on an N7?
I've noticed most apps work if you side load them (I don't play games really...so can't speak to them) the problem is you need to get the apk to install them.
To answer your "why" question, I would think because Jelly Bean is so new that Devs haven't tested their apps and marked them JB compatible.

If you changed your DPI, that could be a reason.

Thanks.
i notice that too. some of them doesn make sense at all.
for example the game shoot the zombirds,
it works on my phone, and my old galaxy 10,1 that has the same resolution as nexus 7.
but it says not compatible with nexus 7.
since the game is free, i download it to my phone and use air droid, a free app,
to make a backup of that game as an apk file, then use air droid to install it on the nexus 7.
it runs smooth and great on nexus 7.
This happens to some degree with every new Android version. its just new. like was said above me, the developers have to update their apps for JB compatibility
JB just came out. I don't know how Devs have the time to update so quickly.

I find the opposite - of all the apps I have searched for and/or downloaded I would say less than 5% were incompatible. At least from Google Play.

Just install the APK, it's the same as the one you'll automatically get anyway
It's not a problem, just be patient if you don't want to install the APK. I haven't got it yet either.

Seems like a waste of time when you can just install the apk. Same thing you would get if it was pushed by Google.

I bought the Nexus 7 LTE to take the place of my T-mobile hotspot. This update breaks the 2 reasons I use the hotspot for, wireless connectivity on the go when I need it for my laptop and native sms messaging. Both of these features are included in the service I pay T-mobile for on this account. Not only did Google disable these 2 features without notice in KitKat, but they don't acknowledge that they have or give a reason or resolution for the issue anywhere that I can find. I can't even find a way to contact Google directly to ask them a question about the issue with any guarantee that they will even read my questions, let alone answer them. Until this is resolved, I'm stuck on 4.3.1.

So you're saying that the 4.4/KRT16S update removed the option to tether with a T-Mobile SIM? Can anyone else confirm that? If that's true, that totally sucks. For people on AT&T, their tethering has been disabled from the start. I know for a fact that tethering still works with Verizon, though, even after the KitKat update. I'd love to know how carriers get their demands integrated into a carrier-free, SIM unlocked device like the Nexus 7, especially when no Nexus phone has ever disabled tethering. The Google Play Edition phones don't disable tethering either. This "selective disabling of tethering based on carrier" seems to be unique to tablets.
As for native SMS on a tablet, though, that's a feature very few people will miss because so few people would ever even think to do it in the first place. Tablets are designed by default to be data consumption devices, not giant phones. You probably won't find much sympathy on that one.
Sent from my Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition using Tapatalk
I'm tying to understand why it should be different on theN7 from the N5 running Kitkat. I use my N5 on T-Mobile and the tethering works fine. I can't say I love Hangouts as the native SMS client but it does work for sms/mms. It should work on the N7. Hopefully someone might chip in who uses t mobile with their N7. You might want a thread title that is clearer what your issues are. The current title is unclear.

I don't need anyone's sympathy. As a matter of fact, there is already someone who has claimed a fix for the SMS problem in the LTE android development forum for the Nexus 7 (2013). So obviously there is sympathy. Just because you don't use a feature, don't make the assumption that others don't use it and find it useful.

That's exactly why I reverted to CM10.2 a while back.
TBH I have yet to see one real benefit of KitKat, and the ASOP install issues with KK was a total deal breaker for me.
XPrivacy having issues with KK didn't help either.
Went back to 10.2 and now I'm extremely happy again!...

I'm afraid I might of just done something daft. I installed the new google play services update, without checking the previous 3 digits from my previous phone, and now it is not working properly. Could someone help me, which version should I install? I have a Nexus 6P with the security updates for November, and I haven't changed anything. If someone could post the like that be great!
