Has anyone been able to successfully bypass the the verizon firewalls and been able to have the nfl .apk app to work on the captivate or vibrant?
I downloaded it after using market access to emulate verizon. It installed but just hung on the initial load screen when opened up. I really wanted it too!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I want this too!!
The guys in the nexus forum have been working on this for a while. He finally thought he had gotten passed it, and posted the apk on a different forum. Someone posted the apk on twitter and verizon caught wind of it and sent him a C&D letter. Plus cracking the apk is one thing, but trying to crack vcast is not going to happen. Looks like we are stuck the the espn apk.
Does anyone have a happy alternative to our dilema, other than ESPN's Score Center? It rocked on the iphone, a little too laggy on android. Maybe a good raido app that streams NFL games? Im in Tennessee, and im trying to get my Chicago Bears games. Please, someone help!
i wouldnt think it would be that hard to say get the apk off of the fascinate and then emulate whatever the communications between the phone and verizons server is.........pretty much spoofing verizons server for the app into thinking that its a verzion branded android device and therefor allowing any phone to access it...... of course if it was that easy it would already be done lol.
Looks like they figured it out over in the evo 4g section!!! Only works on wifi for us currently, make sure to reboot your phone after you install.

Just check around here. There is a link on the page on this link that downloads NFL.apk, but i have not tested it yet.

I tested it. Cannot get it to work over 3G or Wifi. It just sits there and loads forever.
Try rebooting. On my G1 it works over both, but on my gf's captivate it only works on wifi.
i downloaded it, ran droidexplorer to install it and it works flawlessly over wifi. However 3g does not work.
Reboot your phone if it just loads forever
This is amazing....too bad it doesn't work for me on 3G, would love to watch the noon games while i am tailgating on Sunday...
try this out
Hi I am on att using captivate, I just installed this app today and was only able to connect thru wifi as well. I had to get some stuff done round the house and so I turned off my wifi while the NFL app was still running and to my surprise the app still worked and appears to be using my 3G connection.
Works on 3g for me
Yeah I actually downloaded an unlocked apk file at droidforums.net. It is working great over 3g as well for me as of right now on my Captivate.
I however cannot post the link but I will post the apk file.
Also, I'm not sure if it matters but I did have it running first with my wifi on and then I turned it off to test it on 3g. They also have an unlocker tool on that website but I didn't have to use it. Hope it works for you guys.
EDIT: By the way, when you download this through your phone, use Astro or some other file manager to rename it to an .apk file.
NFL Verizon used to work on wireless now not working
Anybody still using this? Even though the app used to run on wireless (3g used to give me some error) after the season got kicked off for real I got a message that I wasn't a Verizon customer. The live streaming never worked, but the app and some of the videos did. I'm running SRE v1.2.2.a (which I know I have to update) but it did work before....anyone else have any luck?
***I must not have been logged in before because I didn't see the zip file above my post last time I saw it, I'll give that one a go***
Worked for me just fine on wifi last night.
still doesn't work on 3g...but
it worked on wifi and I was streaming the NFL channel. It seemed to keep going after I ditched the wifi and was just on 3g, but it won't fire if I just open it up on 3g....
one interesting thing I noted yesterday is that when I turn Mobile AP on and connect my roommate's Vibrant on T-Mo it worked fine, which tells me the app itself is what blocks it from working over 3G vs something like blacklisting the IP's from AT&T, T-Mo, and Sprint...
yeah I mean the only way I get it to work on 3g is if I start it on wireless and then turn wireless off, so there is a check somewhere. Wonder if the app could be faked into thinking it was on wireless or something like that. Anybody have this working on 3g straight from the get go? I get "cannot connect to NFL Mobile. please establish a connection and try again"
Anyone else having issues trying to use slacker radio? I have a xoom wifi version, and I've been able to download the app, but it NEVER does anything after attempting to log in. I've tried reinstalling several times and still nothing. It stopped showing up in the android market, and I redownloaded it from the amazon appstore. But it still doesn't seem to work. Anyone else having this issue or know a way to resolve it? Also, my xoom is not rooted or modified.
I have 3g xoom and have yet to experience any issues hopefully things workout for you
Thank you Amazon App Store For My Slacker Radio!!!
I also have a wifi Xoom, and until last night I have been racking my brains on how to get Slacker Radio to fully work. It's now gone from my Xoom's market. So while i was getting my free daily app on the Amazon market, I decided to search for Slacker. Bam! There it was, knowing for sure it wasn't gonna work anyway I downloaded it. It found the one I had installed for the day I got my Xoom Version 2.1.170 I believe. It installed version Version 2.1.191. It opened and let me sign in. No blank screen, there were the channel list. Now I can give it some more love, now we just need a functional Netflix apk.
Couldn't install it from Android Market, but installed and worked fine from Amazon Market.
the new 3.0 version skips songs every 10 second or so. Anyone else having this issue?
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
Now working on Bottle of Smoke a6.0
Does anyone else have the Slingplayer app working?? please tell me what you did to get it to work and what device and ROM you are running. I've been trying for days to get Slingplayer to work on my NC, starting with nookie Froyo, then going to root stock 2.2, CM7r3, and sapphire and I can not get it to run on any of them, the app just briefly flashes a completely black screen then shows the home screen again...
Sling Adapter
Yesterday installed Sling Adapter from Dish Network. Nothing to install. Plugged in and it worked! Can view live and recorded on PC, ITouch and Nook. Only setup was to select correct Dish Network receiver (I have two). Do have to try connecting 2-3 times to wake up and takes a couple of seconds to settle down. Then....beautiful clear display! (minor sync audio issue)
I'm running stable CM7.0.0 w/OC.
Thanks for the reply, but I have a SlingBox Pro HD with U-verse, not Dish Network...
Slingplayer v1.2
Using Slingplayer Mobile V1.2 on CM7 various nightlies. works with .29 and .32 builds. V1.3 did not work for me same issues as you.
I'm on manual nooter 1.2 and Slingplayer works fine on my NC over a fast wifi connection. If the connection is slow, it stalls on startup. And I've given up on getting it to work over a tethered connection.
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 !!
