I have a problem running an app! Keep receiving the message 'The game cannot launch because this is not a normal device, or the device may be running a mirroring app that could affect its performance'
This started after the update! If someone knows about a solution to this let me know plz

Update went well. The only issue I had is that i had created folders for my apps and they did not transfer. I will have to recreate, no biggie. Other than that it looks great!

Where the Hell HTC?
Are you dead already?
Until now no update for older flagship devices like One (M7, some M8) and One Max!
Since changing to new CEO, the situation getting worse!
Very soon HTC will be R.I.P!

I updated to lollipop tonight on a dell venue 8. The forced encryption not withholding there seems to be a bug with YouTube. I keep receiving a connection to server lost message. I have disconnected and reconnected the WiFi and the same video plays on a galaxy s4 without issue

My upgrade went great. Never had Wi-Fi issues, and still Wi-Fi works great. No lag, still as beautiful as ever. Thanks Dell for updating this already awesome tablet to 5.0.2. I ditched my iPad Air and am not looming back. Only complaint is that my home screen icon placement is back to default, so I gotta set that up again.

AnonD-286474, 08 May 2015Looks uncomfortable to holdNot uncomfortable to hold, great size, great AMOLED screen, but avoid the Dell cases at all costs. They are overpriced, flimsy plastic and known to break in half at the thinnest point, where the charging port is located. Dell is aware of the issue and still not issuing refunds.

Seriously thought Dell had made a turn for the better, but this is too little, WAY too late. It's obvious the company is not on-board with Android AT ALL. Camera cannot focus, Hangouts crashes constantly, Wifi driver drops all the time requiring a reboot. They are the typical hardware company who turned to tablets too late, lead by MBAs with the hardware manufacturer mentality of "someone else is in charge of software." Not malicious, but not seeing the whole picture either. No Dell, nobody else is in charge of the software. Once you fork Android, it's yours to maintain.
