On my Motorola Xoom running Virtuous Inquisition v3 (ICS) I can register, and I see the little red arrow pointing up, with the phrase "Already have access? Sign in above" but there is nothing above the arrow. The word "Wired" appears in the center of the bar at the top, and there's a gear-shaped menu icon in the upper-right, but the only item on the menu is "Restore all purchases" which does nothing but bring up the incorrect "No internet connection" message.

So close, yet so far away. You'd think Conde Nast could afford to hire decent Android Devs.

That's very strange, I have a button on the very opposite side of the top as where the gear appears tphats labled "sign in" I don't understand what's preventing you from seeing it. Like you said the gear is in the top right and the sign in button is on the top left. Idk but I wish you luck in solving this mystery. If I could figure out how to get a screen shot, I would show you where it is.

Actually I did figure out how to make a screen grab and this is what the app is supposed to look like.

It's not that strange really. You're on a Kindle Fire, one of only two Android devices the app is developed for. I'm on a device they've not developed or tested for. My bar with "Wired" and the gear menu icon looks just like yours, but without the "Sign In." It's just not there. Effective way of preventing it from being used on devices you don't want it used on.

What I don't understand is why they chose the itty bitty Fire and Nook screens but don't want me using it on my 10" Xoom screen. Not to mention the fact that the fire has been out for less than 3 months while the Xoom was the first Android 3.0 tablet. *sigh*

Man I wish I could get this working on my CM7 Fire. No matter what I try it just FCs when it loads any issue. What version of Adobe Air and the Wired app are you using?

--edit
nevermind... finally got it fixed and running on CM7.

What did you do to fix it. Mine keeps fc'ing.

I'd also like to throw my hat in the ring on this one.

I had gotten the apk to work (give me the sign in link) on CM9 Nook Color but after a recent nightly clean update I can no longer get the sign in link.

Any ideas on tricks to get the sign in link to appear?

Thanks in advance.

Just had to say lol, I feel like 4.3" screened phones are big. I just find it funny that people think 10" screens are a normal size

working on xoom

Hi all,
Got this working by flashing team Rouge's cm9 ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1437358). After the upgrade the apk in this thread + latest over of adobe air did the trick!

I tried. I enter my subscription number, and ask me to sign in. Unfortunatelly, there is no sign in screen, button.

Sorry for resurrecting this thread but I had the exact same problem. (And thank you kenhen93 for posting the apk)

Anyway, to solve the missing Sign In button problem, simply disable your ad blocker. Worked for me.

exactly, there is a line (or two) in the /etc/hosts file that points to an adobe site. You just need to remove the offending lines from the hosts file, or rename the hosts file. then reboot to get it to take effect.

Anyone get this to work on a Nexus 7? I installed it, but it FCs every time.

JellyBean

Getting a FC every time on Hashtag's Jellybean, any solution to this?

Can not get this working on Nexus7

mikelav456 · Jul 19, 2012

This is one of the main reasons I sold my nexus.

If Google really wants to compete in the magazine space then they have to work out deals for print subscribers just as Apple, Amazon, and b&n have done.

I hope an wired magazine apk becomes available soon. My Wired subscription to Amazon (Kindle Fire) is almost up for renewal and I don't have the Fire anymore which was replaced with the Nexus 7.

Almost working on Tab2 7"

Just adding my experience because that I SORTA got this working on a Galaxy Tab2 7.0
On stock ICS rom, italian edition (if that matters), no root

What I did:
Downloaded the apk from this thread & installed it
The app complained that I did not have the amazon store installed, so I followed the link and installed it.
Now it still complains that I don`t "own" the application, but *if* the amazon store is open at the same time, even pressing quit keeps the app running.

But don`t get your expectations too high. There are countless bugs. Sometimes it does not detect the correct screen orientation, sometimes it fc's, once it resetted the device. But I did not have the problem of the sign in button not appearing, though it was impossibile to enter l&p with the Swift keyboard I am using.

Anyway, hope it helps.

Can someone post an updated apk? The one posted here is quite old and crashes all the time on my hp touchpad running cm9.

SGS3: works fine.
Nexus 7: FCs.

Bummer.

Thanks for the up, though.
