Login to OakLeaf Contoso Survey App with Chrome on Nexus 7 Times Out

Question

Hi,

Logging into https://oakleafsystems210.sharepoint.com times out attempting to open https://oakleafsystems210.sharepoint.com/_forms/default.aspx?wa=wsignin after providing UserName and Password with "Error 7 (net::ERR_TIMED_OUT ): The operation timed out message." Bad UserName or Password throws an immediate error.

No problem with Chrome under Windows 7, however.

Any idea what the problem is?

Thanks in advance,

Answer 3

Thanks Roger - I'm following up to confirm whether SP apps support Nexus 7 (refer to the following article for more info regarding supported devices http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161353.aspx).  I should have an answer for you soon.

Answer 4

Hi Roger - I confirmed that android tablets are not currently supported by SharePoint apps in general which likely explains the error that you are experiencing.

Answer 5

Hi, Nicole,

As I note near the end of my updated LightSwitch HTML Client Preview 2: OakLeaf Contoso Survey Application Demo on Office 365 SharePoint Site:

Refusal to support for Google’s Chrome browser running on Android-powered tablets doesn’t appear to me to be a valid business decision, if you accept NPD’s estimated 27:1 ratio of Android:WindowsRT this year and projected 3:1 market advantage by 2017.

Cheers,

Answer 6

Hi, Nicole,

Apparently, an update to the support matrix table for Nexus tablets occurred on 12/4/2012 and they are now supported.

However, I'm still receiving time-out and other errors with a Nexus 7 and its Chrome browser. For details and screen captures of the old and new matrix table version, see updated http://oakleafblog.blogspot.com/2012/11/lightswitch-html-client-preview-2.html#OSBs blog post section.

I would have included a screen shot of the error, but my Nexus is capturing 0-length screen shots since the last update.

Cheers,

Answer 7

Nicole,

My Nexus 7 started capturing screen shots again, so I added one to the updated http://oakleafblog.blogspot.com/2012/11/lightswitch-html-client-preview-2.html#OSBs blog post.

I also receive the timeout error when attempting to open https://oakleafsystems210.sharepoint.com/default.aspx, which has a link to the SurveyApplicationCS app that works in IE.

Cheers,

Answer 8

Roger, what version of Sharepoint Server are you using/accessing?  

Update - see in previous post it seems to be Off 365.  I'll see about looking into the specifics around the recent "support" being documented for this device/config.   In the mean time, this configuration is on our radar for additional testing.  Thanks for reporting the issue Roger!

Robert,

For all the gory details, see also my updated blog post with complaints about being unable to upload the project's Sharepoint.app file to the Office Store and the demise of the Office and SharePoint Apps forum:
