Does anyone have problems with android player?
For me, is the same always - it freeze after opening an app for more than 2-3 times, to resolve this problem I have to restart the PB.
Maybe someone know the "treatment"

Ditto. Been this way since the OS betas. I don't even think the very early player had this many issues.

Are you running Android apps from Appworld or are you running sideloaded apps? I do get the lockups but I am running Words w/Friends and some other sideloaded apps. I find that if I close them out with as many what I'll call back-arrows, then I have more luck opening them the next time.

Also, I have found a way to generally avoid the reboot. I just open as many native apps as I can. This seems to force some kind of "housekeeping" that recovers memory and then forces the Android Player to reinitialize. But that does get tedious.

Also, what I don't understand is how "android notifications" work or don't work? At times I get a notice that it is my turn in Words w/Friends and at other times, nothing but I will check and find the other player made a move 2 hours ago. Some inconsistency there.

Mine works well absolutely no problems. Try security wipe.

I use both (app world/sideload app).
Thanks for your advice, I'll try them to see if it works

OP, that is a common problem that seems to occur somewhat randomly, but there are some offending apps of course, since just using few well behaving apps will keep the Android Player running better.

I did not find much difference between working apps that are sideloaded vs downloaded from App World. However, you'll find a lot of apps floating around available for sideloading just won't work.

Having the sqme issues here.... Every thing buggy from wifi dropping, battery draining, even active sync, my audio setting and qnx browser not functioning right. I deleted a bunch of my android apps, it seemed to work temporarily.....till i installed advanced mqnager amd ghost commander...all came back.

Rim, pllllease help us!!!

Running one os on top of another has never been an easy task. It happens almost every time I open any android app, no matter whether it's sideloaded or installed through app world. If RIM doesn't fix their android runtime or make it freely available for developers to modify/hack it - there's nothing we can do

Well, all I know is that Word w/friends crashes (or lock up leading to implosion) almost every other move.

If you are side loading apps, RIM is not going to help you.

I don't believe it's actually running Android. I believe it's doing some emulation, sort of like what Freebsd does with linux apps but don't quote me on that.

I'm guessing the trqnslation is messed up. I dunno code talk but I know one fuction in android has to tell the qnx how to react...I dunno.. maybe like a script...I dunno...hehe

So what's an emulation then It seems that all these years at university, they were teaching us wrong things.
