Hey all,
I am by no means a dev, but I have had some interesting revelations on the Sprint TV app. I've been messing with the apk and found I can run the app if I delete the check_wifi.lua file. If I try to edit it, it will crash. I tried changing the ip address it checks for wifi, but it won't install if I do that.
I think it'd be an easy thing to do, but I know very little about all this. Any thoughts?

All I did was open it in notepad and changed the last number in the ip address to a 0 so that it would fail to see wifi is on. Since I honestly don't know what signing it is, perhaps this is best left out of my hands.
I got it to work by switching back and forth between it and other apps. Now it has been working every time i launch it.

in general. I didn't notice wifi in the title until now
Ok, I have been able to active Wifi while Sprint TV is running, but it still doesn't get a channel listing.
sprint tv started working for me tonight over 3G. No idea why. Only show I was able to watch was The View. Go figure.

i read somewhere that you needed to get the TV widget on your screen also
even with that i couldnt get it to work ... so after several frustrating reboots
I FINALLY GOT A LISTING!!
at first, it was telling me that i needed to subscribe to every damn channel i tried to watch
but when i went to the subscriptions menu, i saw that i was already subscribed to everything
some more reboots later everything loaded and i could watch channels
now the whole Wifi thing could probably get fixed by some baksmali/smali edits ... im still trying to get a grasp on how to do this so cant help with that yet :\
My tv app works over 3g now.
My tv started working once i hit 3g in my area no reboot
mines working also
mine just started worrking all of sudden too ! so I installed on my wifes mt3g also worked after a while by itself ?! I had widget on at that time anyways if you dont get it to work try again its really well worth it !
cm 4.1.11.1
no theme
to people who got this working, are yall on 3G?
Yup it looks like you have to be on 3G for the TV app to work.

Yes, just about all streaming video needs either wifi or 3g.
AH GRR! that is lame.. ya are so lucky!
Ive been able to stream over Edge. I dont have 3g in my area yet. I also had issues at first with anything loading but after waiting like everyone else i got listings and eventually i was able to watch the office on edge. Def not worth the wait but progress.

my sprint tv also shows that i have subscriptions. but when i go to all channels to try to watch those channels listed in my subscriptions it still asks me to subscribe and buy.
??? help??? i've only been able to watch one channel for free and its the sprint exclusive stuff.
Found a thread with the .apk but it doesn't seem to work. I can get it installed; however, it gives me an error with just about every action I try. Any help? Running TNT Lite v4.4.
I actually posted the same question. I got it from the market and was really looking forward to having access to on demand. Anytime I try to do anything I get a unknown error has occurred. I haven't contacted them yet, but I am wondering if a 3G connection is required. On their site it does say that the app requires an android phone 2.1 or 2.2, so that is why I am thinking it needs 3G.
As I told markmac in his post, I was able to open an use the Xfinity app fine on my gtab running the stable CM7 released yesterday.
Works fine, running vegan tab gingerbread rc1. Did have tnt and tried, was a no go.

I get the same error on the Vegan GB ROM.
Last night i flashed the latest Vegan Gingerbread rom and still having the same issue. Just to me clear, my issues are with the Xfinity TV app not the Xfinity Mobile app.
Apoligize, app not working, had themobile. Most functions work.from there website which was strange.
No go on this stock tablet. Unknown error on both sign-in and searching for the channel listing. FWIW their mobile app doesn't work either.
Tried this on my Vegan-Tab 5.1.1 and while I was able to download it from the Market after running the "fix" I too get the unknown error.
I also can't seem to get access through their website despite being a paid customer for all of Xfinity's content. Every movie/tv show that I try hangs at "obtaining authorization"...
Is this the app to control your DVR remotely ?
or
To watch On Demand ?
From my GTab: I just log into Xfinity website and watch shows direclty. Admittedly I only tried it a few times and I probably didn't hit enough videos to cover all three video playback formats.

I'm guessing that you're hitting Comcast's ceiling of three registered playback devices. If you go into your profile & see 3 devices, delete one.
I appreciate the suggestion but I have no registered playback devices, the GTab would be the first.

I tried going to the website and watching movies, but they never loaded. Min got past the authorization part. I am running Vegan GB.
What ROM are you using?
cm7 errors too
I switched from Vegan to CM today to get netflix working. Was happy to get Netflix, but get errors galore still with xfinity tv.... Anyone found a way?
Error is invalid IMEI problem
I finally got the Xfinity TV app Working! The problem was an invalid IMEI error (although it didn't say that). I found a link to a solution for the Nook Color here: http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/188...91598__hl__xfinity__fromsearch__1#entry191598

Hi,
I just got an old (original) Motorola Droid from my son. It was was taken out of service, so it's got no phone service, just WIFI. He flashed it to 2.2 before he gave it to me.
Almost everything seems to work ok on it: I can connect to my WIFI network, browse, etc. Market works, Flash works after I installed from Market.
I installed Netflix from the Market, and it starts up ok, but then I get a popup error that says:
"Please make sure that your device has network connectivity and the Date and Time settings are accurate."
and it kind of just hangs the Netflix app at that point.
Does anyone know what the problem might be, and how to get Netflix working in this case?
I'm guessing that it might be looking for a phone network connection or something?
Thanks,
Jim
Hi,
My son has a friend with a same (original) Droid, with the same firmware, but his phone is still active on Verizon, and he's able to get Netflix app to work on it.
He (my son) said that he thinks that he has another friend that also has a Droid that's deactivated, and he's going to ask him to try to see if Netflix will work on that.
If that latter doesn't work and get that same error message, I'm guessing that it's, as I mentioned above, trying to connect to Netflix via the 3G, rather than over the WIFI.
Anyone know if it's possible to get the Netflix app to use only WIFI?
I had a similar problem with Sipdroid this weekend when I tried to get that to work. It actually, at one point, connected me to a Verizon operator, presumably over the Verizon wireless network. Sipdroid has a configuration setting that allows you to tell it to use only WIFI, and once I set that, Sipdroid worked ok over WIFI. I think that I need to find some kind of setting in the Netflix app to do something similar.
Jim
Hi,
I just got off the phone with Netflix support. I don't know if the person that I spoke to actually knew what he was saying, but he said that the Droid is not "on their list of supported phones", so according to him, it would then try to "connect to their website".
I didn't think that I needed the build.prop changes, because I'm not getting an "unsupported device" message, plus, like I said, my son's friend has it working on his identical (except it's still on Verizon) phone, but I'm going to try some of those build.prop hacks, to see if that makes a difference.
Jim
Hi,
For the record, no joy with changing the build.prop. That seems to be ineffective.
So, I'm still stuck on this...
Anyone?
Thanks,
Jim
Hi,
I had left the phone on the Netflix error screen and it went to sleep last night, and when I woke up this a.m., and woke it, there was a different msg saying that it couldn't access some web site.
So, I started thinking that it was a firewall problem, and I put the phone's IP address in my router's DMZ, and VOILA!!
Got Netflix !!

Zumocast update[1.1.1] disabled me from streaming video over cell.[Fixed]
Luckily, I had it backed up [1.0.25] via Titanium, and simply restored it. This app restore was successful and I was once again allowed to stream a Boardwalk Empire.AVI over cellular data.
I wanted to warn others. Maybe someone in the Blogosphere can report this to the masses.
**EDIT:[[No need...cause this can be resolved ...Read further]]
Funny thing though, the "What's new" leaves out the fact that cellular stream has been removed. I'd also like to add that my desktop version (W7) requested an update upon restart. I may attempt to update the desk version if I can find the original download...and if its a full install as opposed to a version that Dl's from a server.
If this has happened to someone else, please reply to this thread to confirm that it was not a fluke occurrence.
Not sure what you're talking about here. I updated and stream in my car all day. Sounds like you have an isolated issue.

...cool. Thanks for letting me know. Let me try again then. I thought it was odd nobody else had commented about this yet. I'll remove the thread if I can get it work.
Were you able to stream on both 3g and 4g?
Thanks.
Just tried the 1.1.1 update again....on 3G, and it states:
"WI-FI Required for Video Playback
video cannot be played over mobile network. Please try again when connected to Wi-Fi."
My phone is rooted, stock Rom. Finally got some Alice in chains to stream after several attempts. but, no video.

I'm in a non 4g area. I noticed a big improvement in streaming from the new update. Let me give a video a whirl and I'll report back.
EDIT: Definitely just streamed some videos over 3g. That's weird you can't.

Still working over 4G for me.

This cleared it right up. Good Job for finding the fix. Thanks for everyone's input.
For the record,the zumocast update is fine. It was just myself who had the issue, which has been resolved by disabling the battery saver mode.
...didn't even know i was in Battery saver mode. Thanks again.
I have this same issue, but turning data saver on or off doesnt fix it. I can connect to server fine over 3g, and can play music but it wont let me play video at all. It says
Wi-Fi required for Video Playback
Video cannot be played over mobile network. Please try again when connected to Wi-Fi.
I haven't been able to sign into Motorola Connect on my laptop pass couple of days, anyone else having connection issues?
Mine is down too. Seems to be stuck trying to sign back in.
Remove then re-add. This happens to me frequently (including today).
having the same issue here. removing and re-installing has yet to help.
i am stuck on the signing in page and it won't go any further. given that this seems to be effecting many i hope for a fix soon.
Removed extension, re-installed, even deleted chrome profile and made a new one, still won't connect.
Yeah ignore my previous post. I uninstalled and reinstalled twice and it started working again both times for a short period... but then it stopped working again, and I haven't gotten it to work since.
I have been trying it for hours now, no luck. Hopefully it's just down for maintenance, I have gotten very used to it.
i hope that this does not have something to do with moto being sold.
Does motorola lost device service work for you? For me it says to enable motorola In device managers.
Yeah it's not active after three days for me, I just reset the Motorola Connect client on phone and computer.

Can anyone try https://motorola-global-en-roe.custhelp.com/app/home and go to Moto X's Lost Device or Tips to see if those are working?

Mines stopped working too on 2 of my machines.
Lost device is working fine though.
Can confirm it's not working here either. Guess we'll just have to wait
Keep working on and off. Something appears to be wrong with Motorola services.
Wonder if Motorola even knows, kind strange for a service like this to be down for a week and no word...
