Hi everyone, i received my galaxy nexus today and so far i'm unable to control my pre-eden xbmc (compiled 11/28 for linux) When i attempt to connect all that pops up is "NullPointerException" (xbmc commander on my iphone works beautifully so i know it isn't xbmc itself)
Is this a known limitation? Searching the forums has brought up nothing otherwise i wouldn't have posted. Thanks!

A log would be great. I've just installed ICS on a Nexus S and I can't reproduce the issue.

I'm also getting the NullPointerExpression error. Whenever I try to connect I get the error (On my Galaxy Nexus) But the remote works for navigating, play pause etc... What doesn't work however is the other functions, such as search through tv and movies on my phone, and the app constantly says its not connected.
I have a galaxy tab 10.1 running android 3.2 honeycomb and it works perfectly well. :S

I am also having this exact issue. I thought I was the only one. This happens with a droid incredible. XBMC remote used to work flawlessly until verizon updated my phone with Android version 2.3.4 (Build 4.08.605.2) - There are a few things I can't do very well anymore. I used to be able to search for a video on the phone and send to xbmc. It still does it, but it can take up to 5 minutes before the video will actually start playing. I get a black page, then about 2 minutes later it asks me if I want to stream it through XBMC and then it will start playing it roughly about a minute later after I say yes. The remote works all the time, but I also get that exception error every once in a while and I don't get the rest of the functions (All I get is the remote control). Somtimes once in a while, the rest of the functions will actually come up. I really do hope I made this clear enough for someone to know what is going on.

<aol>Me too!</aol>. I get the issue on the Galaxy Nexus.
BTW, it's pretty annoying that the remote throws up an exception when it can't connect (I got the error box on HTC Desire w/gingerbread too). Especially when you have more than one XBMC. Because if the selected one is unavailable when you start the app, it keeps complaining after you've chosen the one that is available.

I am receiving the same "NullPointerException" error on my LTE Galaxy Nexus when I try to connect to any XBMC instance.

Getting the same error here.
Running a Nexus S and just updated to ICS 4.0.3 this afternoon via the update. Ever since then the app gives the null pointer exception described above.
Was working flawlessly before on gingerbread 2.3.6.

I am having the same issue.
I have Galaxy Nexus from Verizon, running android 4.0.2.
Though I am not being prevented from actually using the app. If I'm persistent, it still works. For example, I might get the Nullpoint error, but it connects anyway, I hit back, and I can still use the app.
Or, it might not connect, and at most I have to hit connect once or twice more. Canceling out the error via the back button. But it's never been more than twice.
The error also might appear when going from menu to menu.
I don't know if this information helps at all.
P.s. I appreciate the app.
