      Possible 4G incompatibility with ML? Also, any sort of Antivirus filters or Phone-to-hotspot conversion setups can mess with things.

      I've run through a lot of common Android browser coding breaks on the S4 and Nexus 7, the most stable of the VM's, and I can't seem to get MangoLassi to NOT work... Perhaps firewall is an issue???

    • RE: Troubleshooting ML on Android Mobile Devices

      Here's a list of all the VM's I've built and tested it on. All of them are running the latest version of Android OS - KitKat, and the latest version of Chrome. Also all of these were tested with their stock browser (In some cases this is Chrome).

      Nexus 10 - Worked, May have issues with Landscape mode in some of the posts that have pictures posted in them at resolutions that are not in a 16:9 or 16:10 resolution, due to the 2560 x 1600 display being just plain goofy.
      Nexus 7 - Worked
      Nexus 5 - Worked
      Nexus 4 - Did not work, factory reset and VM rebuild did not work, but Google Chrome works.
      Nexus S - Worked
      Nexus One - Worked
      HTC One - Worked
      Galaxy Note S4 - Worked
      Galaxy Note S3 - Worked
      Galaxy S4 - Worked
      Galaxy S5 - Did not work, factory reset and VM rebuild did work
      Sony Xperia Advance - Worked
      Sony Xperia M - Worked
      Sony Xperia ZL - VM did not boot
      Sony Xperia Z1S LTE - Worked
      And this last one just for fun
      NVIDIA Shield - Working, loading, and running at a better speed than any other tested device.

      Make: Sensors - A Hands-On Primer for Monitoring the Real World with Arduino and Raspberry Pi

      http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920030317.do?code=DEAL&imm_mid=0bb710&cmp=em-make-books-videos-product-dod_make_sensors_deal

      With Early Release ebooks, you get books in their earliest form—the author's raw and unedited content as he or she writes—so you can take advantage of these technologies long before the official release of these titles. You'll also receive updates when significant changes are made, new chapters as they're written, and the final ebook bundle.

      Make: Sensors is the definitive introduction and guide to the sometimes-tricky world of using sensors to monitor the physical world. With dozens of projects and experiments for you to build, this book shows you how to build sensor projects with both Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Use Arduino when you need a low-power, low-complexity brain for your sensor, and choose Raspberry Pi when you need to perform additional processing using the Linux operating system running on that device.You'll learn about touch sensors, light sensors, accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetic sensors, as well as temperature, humidity, and gas sensors.

      NuGet 2 Essentials

      http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9781782165866.do?code=MSDEAL&imm_mid=0bb454&cmp=em-ms-books-videos-product-dod_nuget_2_essentials_msdeal

      NuGet has made the process of finding and referencing libraries from Visual Studio much easier and has strongly contributed to the expansion of an open source ecosystem. In the three years since its release, it has become an essential tool for both consuming and publishing class libraries for the .NET framework.

      A concise and practical guide to everything that NuGet has to offer to both consumers and publishers. Through many hands on examples, NuGet2 Essentials will demonstrate all of NuGet’s features and teach you how to use them in everyday development in a .NET framework.

      Starting out by using NuGet for consuming third-party libraries, this concise guide continues with a detailed look at creating your own packages, and ends by teaching you how to set up your own internal server. Through practical examples, you will learn to manage versions of installed libraries on all development and build machines. You will also discover how to create packages for your own libraries so they can be easily consumed, no matter how much configuration they require. By hosting an internal server, you will have full control of packages being used in your development environment.

      By the end of the book, you will know about everything that NuGet has to offer, and how it can make your development process better.

      Approach

      This concise guide is full of hands-on examples to guide you through all of NuGet’s features and use them in everyday development of .NET frameworks.

      Who this book is for

      If you are a .NET developer who wants to learn more about NuGet, this book is ideal for you. Although it doesn’t require any prior knowledge about NuGet itself, it assumes that you are already familiar with Visual Studio and the .NET framework. All code in the examples is written using C# so you will also need at least a basic knowledge of the language.
