just released, it works on my Incredible with AT&T, anyone try the Xoom? I know they are working on a honeycomb version but was hoping it may work on Xoom if you pull the apk
I was able to use the web browser version. It is a flex application, so it runs flash. Gets laggy sometimes if they're sending high quality video, but it is watchable.

Thanks! It's working on my Droid X. Couldn't find it on market for this device...
The only problem is that I don't want to pay for HBO and extra data. If I'm in the position to get WiFi, I'm probably in the position to watch TV. Sounds like a good thing for subscribers at a hotspot. I hope it works great.

This came out before its release date and they got the android support way faster than I thought they would... looks like HBO has their **** together, so I don't think we'll have to wait very long for honeycomb support. App runs great on my epic, quality is better than you'd expect for streaming, really looking forward to this on my xoom.

I've heard that on the Xoom if you go to hbogo.com you should be able to use that until they release the tablet app. However, when I go to that site I can't do anything. It has 4 squares: "On Your Computer" "On Your Ipad" "On Your Iphone" and "On your Android Smartphone" but none of these do anything when I tap them. I don't see anywhere to log in either.
Website works for me.... but id like a app

i cant watch from browser either,which browser are you using?
On the HBO website from Xoom, you have to use another browser, like Dolphin, and specify a desktop agent in settings. That will get you past the page you are referring to, but, I am not able to log in to my directv account - the window inside the page doesn't allow text entry.
Or in Xoom browser, in the address bar, type debug:about, then go into settings - set UA to desktop. This allows you to get past the initial page, but I can't type my Directv login information in the popup window.
Anyone able to get around this?

I don't have a Xoom. Just the OG Droid. I also get the message that it isn't supported on my device. I read a thread that said that putting my device in airplane mode before opening the app, then launching would throw a network error. At that point, taking my phone off of airplane mode and then trying again lets me use the app.
That got me thinking there must be something calling home reporting my device model. I set my phone for WIFI and I had my router log what URLs were being called right before the failure. The one that stood out was this one:
catalog.hbogo.com/apps/mediacatalog/rest/settings.json?category=an
So I had my router block that specific URL. Presto, damn thing works on OG Droid with no issue, at least on WiFi. Is there any way that URL can be blocked on the our devices instead or can the APK be modified to not call that URL?

Won't work as the app has other things it needs from that site. Blocking the URL itself though does the trick though.

http://home.leakdroid.com/2009/10/06/fresh-leak-moto-phone-portal-for-android-coming-w-sholestaodroid/
Pretty cool. Works with my G1 and Cyanogen 4.1.99. Try it out.
http://rapidshare.com/files/305341350/PersonalPortal.apk
Recently some of the system dumps from the upcoming Motorola Sholes/Tao/Droid hit the Developer community, and they have been trying to piece the puzzle together of what the Motorola Sholes/Tao/Droid is all about. We got our hands on a new app which looks like it will be front and center when the device finally hits the shelves, Motorola Phone Portal.
Those that remember using the Motorola Phone Tools app to hack their Motorola’s back in the day (I’m getting all “Ahmad – Back in the Day” about my v600, v810, and RAZR) will instantly recognize this little gem, but it’s been updated for Android and provides some pretty cool functionality. Basically, Motorola Phone Tools (MPP) serves as an all-in-one phone manager that allows users to easily view, edit, create, delete, and play their contacts, ringtones, photos, wallpaper, and media. The key difference now is, the app is web-based and you log into your phone from directly from your browser! No installing “modems” and drivers on your Windows machine (painful), just fire up the app and press the “Connect with Wi-Fi button. When you press the button, the app prompts you to either turn on Wi-Fi, or connect over USB. For this experiment, I chose Wi-Fi.
MPP lets you add/edit/delete/browse your contacts, photos, bookmarks, browser history, and media in an easy-to-use interface. Playing media directly from the device in the browser worked very well, and the picture viewer/slideshow feature is pretty damn cool. So with MPP you’ll be able to play/show-off your media anywhere from any browser. If Moto adds a Social/Sharing aspect to this, they will have a winner on their hands.
So there you have it kids, a little taste of what’s to come with the Sholes/Tao/Droid. The original Moto Phone Tools was a pretty handy app (when it worked), and the new MPP looks to be just as functional, if not more so. I am sure it will help a lot of users manage their contacts/media/content when it gets released, and the ability to do slideshows and play media from your device directly from your browser is pretty slick. I hope Moto adds more features and functionality to it as time goes on, but this seems like a sign of good things to come. Grab the .apk file below and play away!

Doesn't work on my hero
It asks to activate wi-fi even if it is already active. Tried to start-stop wifi before and after i opened the application. any guess?
Thank you!!
Ok, I figured how to make it working, the phone must be connected to a network to be used, but I though it creates an ad-hoc wi-fi connection to work with.
BTW great app!
This thing is great. I wonder why more people aren't interested in this....
Sounds cool, I'm going to test this out later
pretty slick...
Nice that you can mange contacts and view the contents of your sdcard etc. Similar to AFile and others but a bit more "moto". Could be neat! I imagine that the majority of users would never set up a secure login though, could be fun to sit in a crowded bar and scan for active devices running this on port 8080. Imagine the havoc that could wreak!

Cool! Thanks for the download/headsup!
does this connect via USB or only wifi?
What does this do exactly? I have to connect to my wifi network and make sure the computer is connected and then what?
Is there a specific process to join the phone and the comp together?
I tried using a remote desktop client but didn't figure out how to get it working, is this the same?

Does this differ much from printershare?
IMHO it is completely different. I was able to get this working on my gtab running VEGAn in about 5 minutes, and it allows me to print to any printer that is connected to any computer that i have access to, regardless of how that printer is connected to that computer.
Oh yeah...it is free too

Printershare also connect to any printer attached to my computer as well, the free part is interesting since printershare is free for a certain amount of pages and all. guess ill give it a shot. thanks for the info.
I just used Google Cloud Print on my Samsung Captivate and hope to check it out on my new GTab tonight! Thanks for the info! I had not yet heard about it. It will be nice when Google updates some of their Apps (such as the Gmail App and the stock browser) to support Cloud Print!
good cloud print is awesome much better than paying for printer share after all the free pages it gives you to print which isnt much, hope more sites/pages will be supported thanks for the advice.
So have you guys got it to work from your G-tab ok? I always have problems in the stock browser with G-mail.

Yes. Everything is on, registered, etc. I think the issue lies within the PC. It's 64bit (I hate x64) and it appears I can't load the Microsoft XML paper specification pack that is required (LINK, under "Why is my document not printing?").

What is the best app for video chatting form my gtab running TnT lite lastest. My wife uses Win-win on her laptop. Are there any that are stand alone no need for an internet connection just a home network.
Not exactly answering your question I'm afraid, but Yahoo messenger works for me for video chat between my wife's laptop and my G tab (or is that the other way around?)!
Could you please give your version of Yahoo Messenger + Video plugin
My version force close.
Thanks.
Under "About Messenger", it says version 1.3.1.4583
I don't know how to find info about the video plugin?
Could you attach apk for both please?
I am not able to find Yahoo messenger in the market. I did find a Y! Suites app an installed it it had a link for messenger when I clicked on it I was prompted to login so I did. I was then shown a offer to install yahoo messenger for Android, I click on it and get a,message that the protocol is not supported.
That is Odd. I was able to install Messenger 2 weeks ago on my GTab and now the market is showing the same results as you. No Messenger available to download.
I did find that it can be searched for from the PC web page, but mine shows installed already. Can't verify if it still be sent to GTAb or not. Might want to try that route.
Glad, I am not the only one having the app not found issue. Thought I was having problems with the market. I have had problems finding other apps that have been mentioned in the GTablet forum.
Anybody have a solution or a better suggestion as to which app to use that will allow me and my wife and kids video chat. Would really like to find an app that would allow this while not necessarily connected to the internet but still connected to a wifi home network.
As far as I know, there is software that allows video conferencing, but I highly doubt that they have been ported to google apps. I know most of those out there are meant for corporate use.
but there is a simple solution to video over your home wifi. move your location so you are in close proximity to your wife and talk to her....lol.
All joking aside I wish I could help you, but until someone creates an app that allows video over private wifi, your kinda stuck.
But I can confirm that yahoo video does work.
I thought thier is a new Skype release just out.

It's possible to run my ReelPortal app within your own network, because the server software is also available for free. However, there's a catch, when you first start the ReelPortal app, it needs internet access to retrieve data to start up. After that, you can unplug the internet, and it would work fine. Another catch is P2P mode would not work without internet access, because P2P actually relies on an Adobe server. But within your own network, Client-Server mode would be fine, because you'd be using your own server.
ReelPortal is designed to run indefinitely, so unless you exit the app, you don't need to reconnect the internet. When set up properly, it can serve as a video intercom within your home/office.
A brief description of ReelPortal: http://reelportal.blogspot.com/p/read-me.html
If you're interested, here's a long thread on using it with the gTab:

Hey there,
My HTC Desire had the option where I could turn off Mobile View and get the pages shown just like I would had I sat at home from my PC. But is that option not available on the 2x? . I generally detest using mobil view and prefer the full on view at any given time.
But so far I am at a loss in regards to finding that setting on the LG Optimus 2x, considering its not a browser setting that I can select or change. But has anyone stumbled over this and found a working solution?
You should be able to do this with hidden menu, and or with another browser.

I tried that one and it didn't work. Some mobile sites still threw me to their mobile view edition when I used that. But apparently using HiddenMenu and setting it to Mozilla changed the issue entirely
Correction,
Neither HiddenMenu NOR about:debug will allow me to view sites like Engadget in their normal editions, but forces their mobile view on me with no way to change
And Mozilla for Android still throws me to the same site.
Use Dolphin HD.
If its another browser then I am not really interested :/. I would prefer a solution that works with the native android browser. HTC could make such a setting which WORKED. Im baffled why LG opted to keep that setting out.

I totally agree with out. However, using another browser is the fastest solution right now.
Setting the user agent to desktop in the standard browser using about:debug should work but does not always as you experienced.
I just don't see how it will work in another browser when both the Native one, as well as Mozilla Firefox web both fails with a bang?

Doesn't work either, even if different UaStrings set through its settings . WHY oh LG WHY have you messed it up so that we can't watch webpages like we can do at home instead of being forced to watch mobile view >_<
So far the only solution is to basically visit the sites, and try to find the "link" on site to change it from mobile view to regular view and hope its saved in a cookie so it keeps the setting :/

Read my post thank you!!.
As previously stated I have already tried installing Dolphin as well as Firefox. Tried every sodding profile there was, Android, iPhone, Desktop etc and NONE of these made Mobile view vanish.
Even tried about:debug as well as HiddenMenu and those don't do the trick for me either.
The ONLY thing that seems to work is going to the sites and manually clicking that I want the regular site. But then its not the browser doing anything, its cookies that does the talking which somewhat defeats the purpose. I mean on my HTC it was a simple checkmark I had to remove and it just worked. On my LG it seems like its an insurmountable feat to actually get regular PC view and get rid of mobile view the "right way"

I cant's say I disagree with that. It makes no sense to be honest, ie why it wont work on some LG's and how HTC has been able to make a "switch" for it that actually works and doesn't require you to do the cookie route.
yeap,
I've test too and Mobile View can't is disabled but some website check is the visitor send WAP information, and with the debug mode, some WAP information from the Browser are sended...

Good news
I had the 'great idea' to hook a monitor, keyboard and mouse to my Atrix HD and use it as a PC (to save $70 month on internet) Problem is, it's HORRIBLE. It goes into some kind of 'Dock' mode, and you can only have 4 icons. Flash player doesn't work in Chrome or Browser, so you have to launch youtube videos in a new window. Plus, all these ****ing "mobile" websites that everyone loves suck, and I can't figure out how to change Chromes user-agent header.
I bought this cable: shop dot teamblackhat dot info Cables_c4.htm
Think I'm going to try and root it and get the wifi hotspot to work.
Does anyone know if there is a way to keep the 'Dock' mode from showing up? It's worse than just the normal phone (which wouldn't be bad)
Forget chrome bro, its oversimplified garbage. With stock browser you only have to set desktop mode once every time you open it, with chome its everytime you open a website + everytime you open the browser.
Also, chrome doesnt have plugin support, you need this flash, and it will work in default browser: Adobe_Flash_Player_11.1.115.17.apk
When the dock notification comes, you should chose charge only so it doesnt switch to clock mode. BTW JB is **** with hdmi, google messed it up.

thanks but none of the settings solved the screwed up display on a lapdock.
But I can't see how it's still ok mirroring to the 2 TVs we have at home.

Seems like they only support 720p and 1080p resolution now...
atrix hd does not support webtop like other motos, so it will only look like a big android screen just like the phone. no tablet mode or anything like that.

I didn't see any reference to webtop. we all asked for true 720p display on the lapdocks.

if it support 720p, we would get a very small black band around the display (as if you plug any other hdmi capable device in the lapdock (like a blue-ray player))
there's something wrong like if they targeted the lapdock on purpose.
