Can anyone else host a game and have people join it with their xoom? Me and my friend both have the Wifi Xoom tablet and cannot join eachothers game, however we can join others on the internet. I cant even join his wifi game from my droid x over 3g, it always says Failed to join game.
Is this a known problem that the Xoom cannot host games?
just did some testing. I can not join my Xoom(3g) hosted game from my SGS, getting the failed to join message. But I can join my SGS hosted game from my Xoom. Tested over wifi.
I think it is a Xoom hosting problem. The xoom hosting seems to give anyone trying to connect a failed to join game message. However the xoom is able to join other games hosted by other tablets/phones. Kind of a bummer, hopefully it gets worked on and fixed soon.
did some testing of my own, a game hosted by my droid X over wifi can handle the 2 xooms on the same wifi. but if a game is hosted by either Xoom no one may join, just a little interesting tid bit I found tonight.
In the same boat on my HTC Thunderbolt. I was able to host and play without issues until I updated the radio and changed Roms on my Thunderbolt. I haven't been able to try over 4G only 3G. If your running a rooted Xoom maybe try a different radio and see if it helps.

Overall, the experience is pretty good! It's not the same experience that you'd get on a Core i5 laptop, but more like the experience you'd get an Atom machine.
Next step is to read up on overclocking this to 1.5Ghz, anyone done that yet?
That should put us closer to a full desktop internet experience!
No doubt when these mobile cpu's hit 1.5-2.0ghz and Android is at ver 3.2+, we won't have to give up anything to experience the internet on a tablet.
SIDENOTE: So, my 12yr old cousin has an iPad and when we were playing with it, he would always say, "oh, that site doesn't work, I have to wait for them to make an app"-- so, wait...a lot of these apps are just reproductions of these websites but in app form.
Well, that's probably a significant reason why the iPad will always have more apps. It's because you can't access the site in any other way. So, if you take that into consideration, by having Flash Player 10.2 now, we have access to all these websites that DON'T NEED an app version in order to experience their content. So, how many "apps" does that open up for us?
I would say a lot more than 65,000! Okay, I looked it up. We now have access to over 1.4 million apps!
Where's the flash 10.2 apk?????? Please share.
Nevermind, got it.
Thanks guys got it!

Sorry admins, I may have posted this in the wrong forum, maybe you could please move it to general? It was late last night when I found out my Xoom updated and wanted to make this demo right away.
BTW, to get the most out of this, you'll probably want to change your user agent to Desktop

Works pretty well! Used last.fm streaming with no problems. Gotta try some flash games...
Just posted from a reliable source. I got it installed and it came up to the logon screen. Did not have a Netflix account to test further. Let me know how it works.
Update: It has been posted you can log in but can not stream live movies. Sorry folks

interface works, i got an error when trying to play. "Sorry we could not reach the netflix service" It might be a bandwidth issue, I'm tethered to T-Mobile 3g.
I was on wifi, streams fine on ps3, same error for me.

PS quote from that page
"Brian 2 hours ago in reply to imperalix
You're missing the drm libraries. Maybe some smart dev can pull them from the system dump and get them working. Although thats exactly why netflix wont be out on the android market... hehe"
Got pretty excited earlier when I could sign in and see everything, then bummed when I couldn't watch anything. :-(
Damn drm.
So close. When trying to play a movie I get an error that Netflix service can't be reached.
I read that it was only unlocked for certain processors... I hope the Tegra will be on that list soon....
netflix is working with nvidia for tegra chips...but i am sure the devs can get this to work, i have tried it on my HTC incredible...same error!
snapdragon processors only rightnow i do believe
Is it possible that the app has a url or something that it's supposed to connect to for streaming, and since there are technically no android phones out that should actively be running this app, that maybe that url is not actively operating yet, and that after the LG becomes available, it may simply start working?
Just a thought...
MC
it's a DRM issue. Only certain chips have the appropriate DRM baked into them, which is why there are issues connecting to the streams. Unfortunately due to this limitation, I don't really see a decent workaround for getting streaming to work.
Hopefully someone on XDA can prove me wrong. I know both iOS and Microsoft have built themselves up around streamlining these DRM packages in with their software, but due to android's frequent updates and lack of included DRM integration with the OS at the 2.1/2.2 time, Netflix had to use alternate means of distributing to android. By the time Ice Cream Sandwich rolls around google should be on the ball with this stuff.
We'll see, though.
I had an I pad for a while but the lack of being able to do any type of file manipulation or use flash is maddening. If anyone used the netflix AP originally, you may have noticed that it was the html 5 version of the site. Recently that changed, so I do not know if anyone has a way of testing this. Since the android browser supports html 5 we are able to visit the netflix website and use it normally until you get to actually watching a video. Since someone was able to get flash plugin to work with netflix, maybe its posibble to see how and why netflix works through safari on the Ipad. If the html 5 version of the site could be tricked or not is beyond me. Just throwing this out there to see if it sticks to anyone.

The android app (http://mcdn.netflix.com/us/mobile/android/45/netflix-45-release.apk) also is just a web interface but the actual video playback requires a native library (which doesn't support Xoom) as I'm sure the iPad and PS3 app does as well. You can browse the various netflix mobile sites with any browser.

It is the same as what you see on the iPad
I didn't think about having to develop it for the tegra until now. Hopefully with the glut of tegra devices we will see it shortly. I hope the tegra is capable of the same type of device encryption as the revolution. I don't know if the device encryption within the xoom is honeycomb or the xoom itself.

Tons of features in this $15 app including home AND away radio broadcasts of every ML game, a free video Game of the Day, real time GI of each game, video highlights, stats, etc. Worked great the last two seasons on my iPhone and it is available for Android though the only tablet they mention specifically is a 7". Even if the graphics don't scale well, the radio feeds should still work, I guess.
Tech demands as follows:
* Technical requirements for live video on Android: To access live video, the minimum OS is 2.2, supporting Flash with at least an ARMv7 processor. Note that not all 2.2 devices support Flash and users may experience other unexpected device constraints.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
Bonus: Purchase of this app gives you free access for the month of April to MLB.tv -- every game available on video.
Yeah, I'm running TnT Lite 4.2.5, and I bought the app and have the most recent update. It won't allow me to view live video, and I have MLB.tv.
I tried running from Dolphin and it was very choppy video; I could tell it won't work.
Hope someone has a workaround that will let me watch semi-smooth live video. That's one of the reasons I bought a G Tab.
I bought the app for my EVO, but I can't see it in the Android market for my GTab. I'd like to use that over my Evo (for obvious reasons).
I had this problem too. I did the Market fix and it showed up, and I downloaded it. It works on my Droid, but doesn't have Live Video on my G Tablet. Huge dissappointment.
Petey, not the answer I was hoping for but thank you.
Do you have MLB.TV in addition to the MLB.com app or MLB.TV alone?
Rick, I am an MLB.TV subscriber, and I have the MLB AtBat 2011 app installed on both my Droid and G Tablet. On my Droid, when I select a game, it gives me the option of watching video (although it asks me for my MLB.TV login information). The G Tablet only gives me the options of game tracker and audio. I guess when it comes down to it, I can watch games on my PC, or if I absolutely had to, I'd use my phone.
One thing I DID experiment with and have some success with is opening the Stock Browser, going to MLB.com, and opening MLB.TV there. It was really choppy, but I turned the quality all the way down, and the quality is bad, but it's definitely watchable, and it is really smooth. So you don't have to get the MLB At Bat app and can still watch live video if you're an MLB.TV subscriber (which was $124.95 this year). I will warn you, though, if you're a fan of a team in the area you're in, it gives blackout restrictions for whatever reason (kinda counterintuitive if you ask me). I'm a Yankees fan in Texas, so as long as they arne't playing the Astros or Rangers, I get to watch them without restrictions.
I was able to download at bat. I have an MLB.tv subscription(have had one for 4 years now) and I was hoping it would work on my gtab. Is there any word on the future of our device being supported

If there is, I haven't heard about it. Maybe some independent developers are working on hacking the app to run on ANY device, but if that's the case then again, I haven't heard about it. I can call MLB.tv and threaten to cancel my subscription if they don't get it working soon on this device (although that may be difficult considering I'm running a hacked version and whatnot), but I doubt it'll help at all.
I have both MLB.TV and AtBat 2011 and can only get audio and gameday. I am disappointed in that this app is the same price as the iPhone/ipad app that has video.
Per MLB.com
Live Video Supported Devices: Sprint HTC Evo, Verizon HTC Droid Incredible, Verizon Motorola Droid X, Verizon Motorola Droid, Verizon Motorola Droid 2, Verizon Motorola Droid Pro, Verizon HTC Thunderbolt, Samsung Galaxy Tab, HTC Nexus One, T-Mobile Samsung Nexus S, T-Mobile HTC Glacier (myTouch 4G). Minimum OS 2.2 and Installed Flash
If it works on the galaxy....

Not really sure how they determine what kind of machine the user is running. Perhaps there are Galaxy Tab ROMs out there that could confuse the app? Lemme look around and try one out.
I have looked around with little success... I am on TNT 4.4 and tried dolphin browser. the popup doesn't fit right and is choppy... The guy sitting next to me just got an iPad and paid the same amount for the app and is watching baseball laughing at me. Even worse, he is a cubs fan...
If anyone has any suggestions, I am all ears!
bummer
Okay, I have VEGAN-TAB on and I did the market fix, but At Bat 2011 is not showing up still (along with a few others like Wunder Radio). Thankfully I can use it on my iPhone, but I cannot get it on my g-Tab. I guess I did not successfully do the market fix? Any other suggestions?
Weird, I just went in and did the market fix AGAIN for like the 7th time and now everything shows up! AWESOME!
MLB.tv works fine when you use the Opera Mobile browser. You just need to log in first from the game selection page at:
http://www.mlb.com/mediacenter
After you log in at that page, select your game, and watch away. Go white sox.

Which Opera browser are you using? Opera 11?
I had no issues using the stock browser (setting it to Linux Desktop) to watch MLB.TV. It got a little choppy now and then, but all in all, good picture/sound.
I've been trying to host a game of Dungeon Defender on my HTC Thunderbolt but haven't been having any luck. I can actually host the game but no one is able to join. It shows up on their screen "fail to join". And that's from trying on different type of phones. My wife is able to host with a DROID X and I can join. But on the other way around, no cookies. I was able to host on my Thunderbolt before flashing BAMF ROMS with the latest radio. I'm tempted to flash a older radio but curious if others can try it if their on it and see what the result may be. I am on 3G since no where near me has 4G. I do have my radio on CDMA Auto. I've tried the LTE auto and encounter the same results. If anyone can give this a try and post their results. It would be greatly Appreciated.
