I experience issues with the original Project Tango Tablet; it has Android 4.4.2. and all the LATEST OS and software updates, including the Tango Core (Deprecated).

Most of the updated apps from Play Store are not working properly anymore, e.g. voxxlr and other that were working fine before the latest update I did...

For developing, I have

  • Unity 5.6.f1

  • Unity 5.3.7f1 (installed this previous one for trying out the previous Tango SDK from 2015...) - I'm using this one currently, but the 5.6.f1 built the app too in the end (after re-package issues etc.)

  • Android SDK Platforms 23 (required by both versions of Unity 3D when I build; I tried lower - e.g. 19 but it didn't work...); 16, 17, 19 in Android SDK platforms (I downgraded everything hoping it will improve the apk build)

  • Android SDK Tools 25.0.6

  • latest Tango SDK (the one available on the main Tango site)

I'm doing exactly as in the tutorials (Tango Manager conf, etc.).

I checked the app permissions on the tablet and they look fine (access to camera, etc.)

I can finally build (after downgrading the Android SDK) but none of the example apps from the Tango SDK are working (e.g. white background for both Tango cameras - new and deprecated; no motion detected, etc.) The kitten example from the tutorial is not working either...

I tried the Simple AR tutorial - I see the sphere but it's not doing anything - no movement, no real scene from the camera. I switched to VR, but still NO MOTION.

All in all:
I have NO MOTION and NO REAL VIEW no matter the example or app I build.

I don't know if it is the latest OS installed on the Tango tablet, or what...

Back in 2015 it took a couple of minutes to do basic demos. Now I'm spending hours and hours to rollback SDKs etc.

PLEASE HELP:
I need:

  • the previous configuration (Unity version, Android SDK versions, Tango SDK version) known to work fine with the Google Tango TABLET

Thanks,
Lucas

Hi, sorry I haven't able to track down which version is the last one we support on the tablet. I cannot verify it myself since I don't have the tablet. But it is definitely getting deprecated. The Phab 2 Pro shouldn't have these problems. So I would high recommend to use the Phab 2 Pro as the dev kit.

Also how did you update the Tango Core on the tablet? Did you just updated from the Play Store? I should have more information about the tablet tomorrow.

Have you tried to check the bos to allow out of date API on Tango Manager in your scene?

Glad it works. But still the tablet is getting deprecated. Developing on Phab 2 Pro is highly recommended.

sorry to bring up this old issue again, but i am trying to accomplish the same thing as op, tried building the hopak and the argentine_tango release, the TangoCardboard.unity scene runs with motion tracking but the TangoCardboardWithMeshing.unity only shows a blank white grid, no tracking, i checked the allow out of date api box but still no luck, did you change anything else to get it running on the tablet acerodon?
