Has anyone figured out why big name apps like MLB.com, Weather.com, Vevo, iHeartRadio don't work on this version of Android and the CX-919?

The Play store identifies the device your accessing it from using a file called "Build.prop". That's how it knows its a Samsung Galaxy S4 vs an HTC One vs something else. Based on *something*, the Play store doesn't think those apps are compatible with the device your accessing it from. There are two ways around this. One would involve loading an alternative ROM into the device that fools the Play store into thinking its another device (Google: CX919 - 4.2.2 - Finless ROM 1.5) or you go online and download the APK file for that app and side install it. I've had to side install a few apps myself. Some of them work fine, a few act a little funny. But that's what you get when you use devices that aren't officially certified by Google.

I took off the OS(icecream i thinnk) that was installed and put on another one that allowed me to access the playstore. Turns out some of the apps at the playstore aren't compatiable with this version of the Kyros. For the most part I'm happy with it. But it kinda sucks when you go get an app and you get the message that it's not compatiable with the tablet you have.

not really. I am using a 2014 SkyStreamX 4 Quad Core Android Smart TV Box with Remote - Android 4.4 and 13.1 Gotham XBMC Accessories preloaded - Internet Streaming Media Player and standard works, sometimes it gets slow, but the creators could improve it.

No functionality at all really. Mic doesn't work and song skip either...great speakers but def not for the android. The model 99s (I think) is android compatible.I have an s3 if that matters..

Not every app works with it as far as I noticed it has to be an app that outputs a digital video signal sorta like Netflix, I haven't tested hoolu yet but I'm sure it will work the same as far as tv apps those do not however work

You can't access the Android market on the Cruz, so this doesn't work. AppBrain goes through the Market, so that doesn't work either. It would have been nice though :-/

Using my android smartphone with bluetooth, I am able to control basic features of Spotify. However, meta data does not show. Reading Spotify forums this is more likely a Spotify problem than this unit. Older versions of Spotify has worked great with this unit. Using the USB cable into the unit does not make a difference either. Neither does using the aux/in. All other music apps seem to work fine, just Spotify seems to have problems. This Kenwood unit is awesome!

Yes it does. There hasn't been an Android supported app that didn't work for me......yet

Unfortunately I haven't been able to get my HDX to find/read the device (I even downloaded numerous file manager apps, including the Sony one from 1mobile market. Still doesn't read it). Guess we'll have to patiently wait until it gets Amazon support, or until someone else can figure out a workaround. Sorry!

As of now, I just got this item and I also have an android phone. It said it did, but when I downloaded the app on the android it seems to not connect. So I am still looking into this.

I've never used any of the apps out there, so difficult to compare. I would make sure the apps provide the same real time localized information (your specific county) available from their radio broadcasts. The whole point of this sort of radio is for severe weather alerts, and if the app doesn't do that, then there is no point in getting the app. I bring this radio with me when i camp. I think I prefer the radio if for no other reason than I have camped in areas where cell phone coverage is spotty. I also wonder what sort of data hog those apps can be, or how annoying the inevitable ads are. I've never used any of the apps out there, so difficult to compare.

My android recently updated and the app no longer works. It crashes every time I open it. My app still works on my pc. App on un-updated tablet also still works. Can no longer find the app in the app store and their website is no longer working. HELP! Any other apps work for IP cams?

It may be a problem either with the CX-919, the HDMI port. Try adjusting the volume in the settings within the android OS. If that doesn't work try plugging the CX-919 into a different HDMI port and if that still doesn't work, try it in another TV. If after all of that it's still not working, return it.

They just released a new version of the Android app that will work with the RFLKT. Your phone still has to have Bluetooth 4.0 such as the Nexus 4, Nexus 5 etc. The setup with android feels very much beta to me. It took a while and no small amount of fiddling with the apps to get the latest firmware. However once I got everything to work, it has been smooth sailing. Rock solid on rides. No connectivity issues as mentioned in some of the reviews. I put my phone in my back pocket and never give it a second thought.

no it does not, and if you download the app from Google play it does not work
