When I first flashed stock 2.2 the media hub was working. I was able to preview movies and rent them via samsung. I flashed cognition and installed the apk from his bloatware pack and no dice. Its back to not working anymore. I assume that media hub version on 2.2 is different than 2.1. Does anyone have the apk for media hub from froyo?

Videos still won't work on Media Hub on captivate. The Vibrant folks got an OTA update to assist with DRMd content. We need that, methinks.

The HD video content is amazing on the captivate screen. It actually made me want to pay their high prices..... So far, I have to say the content is surprisingly there in volume.
What is different from the Media hub app in Froyo? Or is this the same and people are putting this on Eclair?
You mean, you guys got it to work after downloading a video? It works only for trailers for me.

Have not actually purchased a movie yet. I didnt realize it quit working after that.
edit: had the same problem at first, worked for trailers, downloaded fine, didn't play movie.
then I thought what off this is an attempt by att to sell the data plan? I turned off wifi and on edge it acquired the license. confirmed playing movies
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using Tapatalk
Wonder why it would need to authenticate?......sometimes I hate AT&T.
well the license is definitely a samsung thing and has to do with weather you rent or buy the movie so it can be deactivated after 24 when you rent it. I don't know of a reason to only allow the license over cellular, other than to maybe verify with att that you are using a galaxy s device and haven't ported the apk over to another device. or maybe att gets a piece of the pie, and using there network helps them tally it all up.
also you know how att likes to tell you if you use x feature on a phone you purchase we want to add this to your bill. for instance att has data plans that allow tethering that are very expensive, if don't know if they force these plans on phones that support tethering, as far as I know you can't buy such a phone from att. also if you have a smart phone you cant exclude data from your plan unless you have never bought a smartphone from att and you buy the phone outright and make sure smartphone exclusion is on you're plan. just like the unlimited data plan once you get rid of smartphone exclusion you can't get it back as fast as I know, and the network detects the device you are using.
just there way of saying if you want the service you gotta pay us even if we have nothing to do with the service I are getting. its not right but that's what they can do if you sign a contract.
we won't know if its att specific unless we go over to another forum and see what the epic guy are talking about.

Has anyone given the AT&T apps a good try to see if any of them are good to keep?
I see instructions out there on how to wipe AT&T off of our phone, but haven't seen anybody comment on why they're wiping the apps off besides to "get rid of the AT&T apps".
I'm just wondering if there might not be one or two of the included apps that are actually worthwhile to keep.
I know one I won't be sorry to delete is the mobiTV one. I loaded it up to the welcome screen then had to step away for a couple minutes. When I came back it kindly told me my 2 minute trial was up... LOL nice! So yeah, unless it really is an incredible piece of software worth buying I'll be dumping that one at least.
Many if not all require additional fees and subscriptions, despite free alternatives.
For example, the AT&T navigator app is $10 a month, but Google Maps is free.
There's also the matter of principle... the fact that AT&T made them non-removable is a compelling reason to get rid of them.
The only at&t app worth using is the att my wireless app that you can down load from the market place. It lets you keep track of your minutes usage, data usage, and change your plan.

I agree. Funny thing is, that's the only app AT&T didn't preinstall on the phone IIRC. I guess they expect you to pay money for their crappy services by default (or by mistaken clicks), but don't want you to have a way to track it so easily.

This is a Samsung app. We'll get it in new ROMS.
Look at about 1:05 on this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3QwvMsBGjE
Yeah I have to say that music app is pretty nice.
Although I just installed one called "Moodagent" that is kind of neat. Haven't had a chance to fully explore it, but it appears to have quite a few features along with the main interface that's a bit gimicky, but cool. It has sliders that you adjust up or down (Sensual, Tender, Happy, Angry, Tempo) and it adjusts the playlist according to the levels you set. Probably old news to everyone else but interesting to me!
everything that is labeled att_nameofprogram is pretty much useless. the other programs like allshare or instant messaging may still be usefull.
Allshare
If you interest in using DLNA, the Allshare app may be a good one to keep. Although, I have one major problem with it: you can only add 1 song at a time to the Queue. What a pain.
But I haven't found any good alternatives yet.
I opened the 'Where' app, and (stupidly) breezed past some part about a monthly charge if I don't cancel. Has anyone else run into this? And if so, do you know how to cancel?
"Where" does AT&T get the idea they can charge for this?
You probably want to call AT&T ASAP to make sure you don't get charged for using the Where app. Also, stop using the included one and download the free one!
Funny story about the Where app:
I had a Nexus One and saw that Where was on a lot of "best app" lists for Android so I went to the market to get it. It was nowhere to be found. After a bit of research, I found some vague explanation about how AT&T had a deal with Where and that they blocked it. This really pissed me off since I paid full price for the N1 with no subsidy from AT&T -- how dare they block apps? Anyway, I found the APK online and installed it.
Later, I rooted my phone and installed the MarketAccess app. Now I could find Where in the Market and installed it from there -- still free of course. When I got the Captivate, the first thing I did was root it. When I saw that Where was pre-installed, I thought "great, now I don't have to jump through hoops to get it." Luckily I saw the warning about being charged, what, $2.99/month to use an app that is free for every user of every other Android phone? I promptly used Titanium Backup to remove the pre-installed version and then used MarketAccess to download the free version from the Market.
The point is that AT&T is really trying hard to charge extra for things that every other Android user gets for free (maps, navigation, Where, etc). Very frustrating. My employer pays for the service on my Captivate and I will be moving my wife's phone (that I pay for) to the Epic 4G at the end of this month after being an AT&T customer for 7 years.
What about AT&T Hot Spots?
I visit Starbucks frequently and occasionally McDonalds. Both offer free WiFi, but require you to check a box and click a button to agree to terms before using it. I know that's not a big deal, but it is a little bit of a hassle especially if I am not planning to use the browser anyway -- I just want to go straight into another app that uses WiFi.
Since I got the Captivate, I've noticed that as soon as I turn on WiFi while at either of these places, I get a notification that says "AT&T Hotspot Detected" or something like that and I am able to use WiFi without having to visit the agreement page in the browser.
Does anyone know whether this app is required for this detection and agreement bypass to function? I have thought about making a backup with Ti Backup, uninstalling, and testing it but am worried that it might not reinstall properly. Also, it might be handy for finding hotspots when traveling -- making it the only useful AT&T pre-installed app.
ATT wifi hotspot app seems to be useful to connect to Attwifi hotspots without having to manually agree to terms
does anyone have a copy of it ?

I have it and will try to make a backup and post it within the next couple of days. It might be Monday before I can do it, unless someone else beats me to the punch.
Update: I still have it on my phone, but it seems that Titaniun Backup only backs up the data, not the APK. I also tried Mybackup Pro with the same result. I have root, so if someone knows how to extract a system app as an APK please let me know. I haven't searched yet, BTW, so if I find out how to do this myself I'll update this post (again).

I swear they are only doing that to mess with us. While it's not hard to completely remove all AT&T ware, it's fairly simple to hide the apps with LauncherPro.

Seeing as how you are brand new I will help you out.
Download the file and transfer it to your phone. Download apps installer or some other file manager from the market, most require your phone to be rooted. Click on the file and install.
Next time though make sure you read around the forum as it is discussed in lots of places how to install apk files.
The app looks nice, but who is going to pay $3 for one episode of a tv show? If Samsung is going to play in this space they better get the cost down or everyone is going to pass them buy.
Personally, I don't even like paying $1 for something i can transfer from my DVR.
so.... unsupported file type?
I downloaded Iron Man from the media hub and my captivate says "device does not support requested file type" has anyone else had an issue with this?
Mine won't play the picture. Frustrating

Bah - my brother has the Epic and was able to rent/dl movies from it.
Of course the Captivate doesn't work at all. Any word from Samsung if they are currently working on a fix? Or is this yet another lockdown from AT&T to prevent us from using it and just missed the "to be removed" on the ol' checklist?
works great. The TV section is lacking but the Movie selection is quite impressive.
Are you saying that you're able to watch movies?

I read that where Windows Phone 7 is concerned that if you don't currently have U-Verse service at home you'd be able to pay some sort of fee and use the limited version of it on your phone. But thats all that was said about it. We can assume this might be something exclusive to WP7 as it appears that AT&T is putting a lot of weight behind the platform.
As far as the Android version, I have U-Verse, and have yet to find any shows or movies that I'm allowed to download to my phone for later viewing. It first requires activation of the service via "manage account", which I did after getting errors the first few times about their systems not being ready or whatever. Then when it worked, I went into my DVR and could download NONE of the programs I have recorded. Apparently downloading is limited to a certain selection of programs. Unfortunately theres no information about what shows, channels, etc can do this.
UPDATE: Ok...so theres very few shows that are available for download. Most of them are Disney Channel stuff, few Animal Planet/TLC/Discovery Channel shows, some ABC stuff.
From ATT Uverse on Facebook:
If you click on the Library tab on the app, you should be able to see what shows are available. That said, we're working on getting more and more programming available on the app. Thanks!

Download content is only available if you have the U300 package. 100 and 200 are not able to see anything beyond their DVR content.
Works great. Glad to see AT&T is supporting Android a little bit.
The app works MUCH better than the web page on the captivate. As for the downloadable content, until they get stuff on there that is actually interesting, I'm certainly not upping my uverse package to the U300.
I do hope that they get it to the point where I can stream my DVR recordings to my phone. Now THAT would be sweet!
Another bonus, a friend has the U300 package. He let me use his account login info to watch the downloadable videos as needed. NICE
I talked to a main att guy over all the stores where i live, and he said that the mobile service is strictly for Windows phone 7 its exclusive right now that u dont need home u verse for it and u can d/l stuff from web with it only on wifi though. and that if u have u verse at home its free and of course can access all that stuff to.
All other phones including iphone will only beable to use app if you are a home u verse user no mobile service for any of those. Windows phone 7 comes with it in a tile and its a feature to enable to d/l content from att's u-verse, i guess on demand stuff.

The PlayOn app, IMHO, is a much better app for now and to replace the Netflix app when and if it works for all android phones. I am using PlayOn, I can watch Netflix, HULU, all sorts of other stuff and stream whatever is on my PC at home. This is great when I record a show on my PC, it is available for me to watch. I bought the lifetime membership for $80. I think that is cheap when compared to the access and entertainment I get in return. Not to mention that your carrier will not be happy with the amount of data used to watch movies. I have an "unlimited" plan and my data rate has been limited due to the carrier feeling I use too much. So after a few movies the app is worthless as it will not stream well and always buffer if your carrier is unhappy with your usage. This happened to me on WP7 and with playon on android. Why any company would put the time and effort into developing something that can't be used is beyond me. Wifi is jot an issue however, if I am able to connect to wifi I am usually somewhere I would have my laptop. Then why would I watch a Netflix movie on my phone?
found a solution...not really
my solution is to dual boot android and wp7....ha....im only using wp7 for the netflix app and it only took like a half hr to set everything up....and it was easy to do with the videos and such......yay netflix on my hd2 and it works way faster than streaming online websites.....you could tell i really wanted netflix to work.....and now i have dual boot also....so win win i guess.....i love this phone

I'm willing to try almost anything but I haven't thought of anything that I can't just do with my SGS3. I'll probably try put Jellybean on the SGS before I try it on the SGS3.
One idea is maybe use it for a webcam. I don't have a webcam right now so is there I way I can use the rear camera as a PC webcam?
Throw out some ideas. Keep in mind I don't have a data plan or voice plan for it anymore but wifi is an option still.

The good first gen single core phones are starting to go off plan and turn up second hand. I picked up a Galaxy S Epic Sprint (the one with slider keyboard) last week at my favorite pawnshop for $60 mint, to mess with and use as a mini tablet. Apparently either the prior owner didn't deactivate it, or with Sprint (no sim card) once activated the phone works fine on wifi. First did factory reset, then rooted, now everything including GPS seems to work (other than the phone and cel data of course, at some point I'll install a Google Voice solution).
I'm using it as a middle of the night reader with a screen dimmer app. My wife has been bothered by the bigger screen lighting of the NC, so something smaller helps. Its a pretty good ereader/podcast player for this purpose. Lots of reader/news apps seem optimized for its WVGA screen, some have night mode. And I put a couple of games on it for the kids to use in the car instead of giving them my real phone.
Now I need to figure out something to do with the slider keyboard. Thinking maybe a remote keyboard app for the PC, anybody recommend an android app that will convert a slider keyboard to a remote computer keyboard through a network?
Hi,
Make a crach test movie

I'd say put it away somewhere safe in case something happens to the S3 and you need a backup phone. That's what I'm planning to do with mine. My Galaxy S will be a backup and would be the one I would take on long hikes cause I won't be too bothered if I drop it, although I've kept it in mint condition.

Slaphead20 and skills have good suggestions.
Otherwise, I'd always planned that whenever I upgrade, I'd likely keep it for its amazing audio quality from its Wolfson DAC and Voodoo Sound; it's hands down the best portable music player I've owned. Plus, there was a good article on Lifehacker a ways back about people keeping older smartphones and iPod Touches with Skype on it to use as a 'house phone'.

You could send it to me lol I need a testing device but I'd say use for holidays and you don't want to risk the s3
