[Q] Grooveshark force closes?

So I love grooveshark on my droid 1 great for building my own play list and for listening to any song at any time without having to wait for it to download or to be played on pandora or last fm or anything like that, Installed it on my gtab running vegan 3 and it keeps force closing everytime i go to login to it, has anyone else been able to get this program up and running without it force closing? this is the only app i've had problems with since getting my gtab for xmas this past sat.

Not sure what the issue is, but I'm having the same problem on TnT lite 3.1.3. Total bummer... what a great app.

Got Grooveshark app working on my GTab!
With the recent update of Grooveshark to v2.2.1, I'm now able to launch the app without any FC's! However, it would still not allow me to login, stating that it was receiving a connection error even though I verified that I had a good Wifi connection.
I have Grooveshark v2.2.1 successfully running on my N1 so I just backed it up with Titanium Backup and transferred it over to my GTab. I restored with 'Data only' and now Grooveshark launches and logs in successfully on my GTab! (I'm running TnT Lite 4.1.0)
I'm listening to one of my playlists right now and it sounds great! All the app functionality seems to work just fine, in fact I think the the app's UI works really well in landscape on the tablet.

Damn i gotta try this, thanks.
Edit: Thanks so much worked like a charm!!!

Thanks for the tip on restore of data. It worked like a charm. I had to do a fresh install and then take the data off of my fascinate with titanium and do a data only restore...presto....
Thanks guys
\oo/

I'm a noob, but how do you transfer over the TI backup of Grooveshark from my Vibrant to install on my Gtab to get Grooveshark to work? If you can give me some direction i'd appreciate it.

Its easiest if you have dropbox on both devices, just go to where the TI backup is stored normally its 3 files and move them into the dropbox or onto a computer, and than either hook the gtab up to the computer and move files to the TI backup folder for grooveshark replacing the old files, or do it from dropbox just download the 3 files from dropbox on your tablet and than move them into the TI grooveshark backup folder replacing the old 3 files.
The 3 files on your droid should be in sdcard/titaniumbackup/ with the 3 file extensions being .properties .apk.gz and tar.gz take all three of those files and put them onto your tablet replacing the 3 files that are in that location on the tab and than running the restore on the tablet from titanium and voila!

Thanks for the help, I forgot my gtab at home, i'll give this a try when i get off from work.

I tried this method, pulled the 3 files from my Vibrant, replaced the files on Gtab, performed the "data only" restore and still received connection/login issues. I tried a fresh install of Grooveshark on the Gtab, backed up with TI, then copied the Vibrant files over and still same result?
Not sure where I am going wrong on this? Any one got any other tips?

Slightly OT, but I get FC on the Grooveshark app so thought about going straight to the web site.
When I try to use listen.grooveshark.com I get a Problem Loading Flash error
listen.grooveshark.com is the only site that does this.
Does this happen to anyone else?

Anyone have an update on this? I have latest Vegan Beta 5.1.1 and I can open Grooveshark but no song plays. It just keeps skipping. I have tried restoring as mentioned in the previous posts and this did not fix my issue. When I restore from Titainum it just crashes as soon as I try to open it. I tried restoring just data and also app+data and neither one worked. Does anyone have any ideas?

Can someone post the three files? I cannot access those files to load on my G Tab...

The problem is that we are restoring our account from another device. In order for this to work for you, someone would have to login to their device with your account and then upload that for you to restore with. You could do this but I would recommend for you to change your password. Then you would have to send a pm in order to not publicly post a password.
Edit:
Here is a link to the files without an account attached to it. Try it out. I don't know if it will work though.

This slightly OT, but I have been testing an app called Tinyshark - so far so good.

I have been getting mixed results with Tinyshark. Sometimes it works, but often it won't play any of my music. Anyone having the same issue? Any fixes for this?

[APP] Hulu Plus - WORKING!

Follow these steps to get Hulu Plus working:
1. Delete any copy of Hulu Plus from your phone.
2. Download the file from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19377222&postcount=7
3. Extract the 3 files into your TitaniumBackup folder.
4. Restore Hulu Plus from Titanium Backup using App+Data.
Thank derek4484 for providing the files since Rootzwiki did not host it anymore and thank him in his post too.
Note: In order to use Hulu Plus, disable ad blocking using AdFree or any other similar app.

This would complete the Captivate

any updates? Anyone found a workaround to get hulu plus app to work on the captivate?
Sheb

This needs to be done already

If you are rooted just find a titanium back up of the app ( it is somewhere in this forum) and back it up. Worked for me and I do believe it is the only work around. The hulu app checks for compatibility in a different manner then Netflix did. Netflix was easy to fool

Do you mind attaching the TiBu backup for the Hulu Plus app since it doesn't seem to be available on Rootzwiki anymore.

I found the Hulu Plus backup and restored it with titanium backup, but it still didnt work. As soon as I started Hulu plus a big red/white error window popped up and said device not supported.
Edit: OK I only restored App from Titanium Backup. Once I restored App+Data it works great.
Just extract the three files within this to your titanium backup folder on the SD card, go into titanium backup and restore app+data. Should work.

Nice!!! I just tried this out and it works great. I havent found any bugs yet but will update if I do. Finally Hulu Plus for Captivate!
Edit: Ok I have a bad wireless and 3g connection at my house but after the advertisement loads I can't get the video to play even when adjusted to low quality. It says your network appears to have problems. Let me know if its working for you and I'll try again on my campus wireless tomorrow and when I have better 3g service.

Hulu +
Worked!!! Awesome! Tx.:d

Can either of you all confirm that you are able to stream video? I still can't get past the advertisement screen.
Sent from my Samsung Captivate running Andromeda³

This is probably because you are blocking ads via your /etc/hosts file. If you are using any non-stock ROM this is probably true. This interferes with Hulu's ads and prevents it from continuing. If you download and install the "AdFree" from the market then use it to revert to the non-blocking hosts file, then Hulu should work. When you are done watching, you can run AdFree again to reblock ads (if you want).

I've been using ad free and trying to revert my host file but I still can't get past the ad screen. Any way I can do this manually or other possible solutions?
Sent from my Samsung Captivate running Andromeda³

Well, you can look at the file /etc/hosts, if it has been successfully reverted then it should just be one line:
127.0.0.1 localhost
You can probably do this manually if you use root explorer (or equivalent) to make the file writable.
This works for me great with WiFi, but hit and miss on 3G, depending on signal strength.

I checked the host file and it has been reverted. Still running into problems though. I get to the screen of Ad: Your video will resume soon but under loading circle and buffering it says: It appears you are having network issues. Please wait, or try again later.
Im going to mess around with clearing data on things today and see what happens.

Works great. Now does anyone know how to get around the 8 bucks a month you gotta pay to use it

Please can someone help me with this issue?! My sister have a Samsung Vibrant and after one whole night, I finally rooted her phone with Superoneclick just to help her install Hulu Plus on it. I got the app working but like so many others, I am stuck on the buffering screen!
I've tried the AdFree method of reverting my host file, rebooted, but still no go. I've tried uninstalling AdFree, rebooting. No go. I've tried booting into recovery mode to clear cache but no go. I've installed ES File Explorer to manually view my Host file and it is empty except for the 127.0.0.1 line. I am literally pulling my hair out.
Is there any other way to unblock ads on the phone to get Hulu Plus working? Is there like some sort of secret cache that I'm suppose to clear using a secret utility I don't know of? Please I need help!

I was never able to get it working on my phone either. I'm convinced it won't work on froyo based roms. I get the same issue with it never being able to get past the buffering screen even with a clean host file. If you are ever able to get it to work on a 2.2 ROM let me know.

Thanks for the quick reply. Sucks for you to hear this but at least I'm glad I'm not the only one with the problem. I'm regretting ever telling my sister to get an Android phone. This is so ridiculous, although I understand this is not exactly the operating system's fault.
I'm about to give up on getting this thing to work on her phone. It's madness.

Messed up my phone need help!

Before I even begin, I was a nub didn't know much about rooting and did it anyways. I suppose I have learned it the hard way and now I must pay.
I rooted my phone and everything went fine.
Before knowing much about Titanium Backup Pro I instead of "freezing" application I have accidentally deleted some apps that I shouldn't have.
When I say my phone is messed up I don't mean not "operational"
I can still use it for day to day but for instant.
I deleted backup manager and now I can't even restore my backups from verizon online.
I also when I try to call somebody from my contacts list I get this error
The application Contacts Storage (process com.motorola.contacts) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
I have random errors like that all the time.
I have unrooted and did a factory reset but to no avail.
Is there anything out there that could help get my phone back to the way it was when I received it?
I know its my fault for not learning but there must be something out there
Any help is appreciated.

When you first rooted, a backup is usually created. Go to your recovery and look for backup and restore and restore it.

Thanks for that quick response, could you be more specific about "Go to your recovery and look for backup" Where do I exactly go. Went around settings but couldn't find backup

There is no backup unless you made a backup.
And there's no recovery mode on the Droid 3 yet either.

I requested before, but i think the thread got moved or removed to be redone in devl section... Can someone post a backup from Titanium BackUp of the stock apps that will be needed for those who have gone Delete-happy and removed some wrong stuff?

I have played with it but I can honestly say I have not been able to get it to work.
I have tried following the instructions, even bought Root Explorer but can still not figure it out.
I attached a picture of the error. I just can't seem to do anything to get it fixed. Also I was attempting to re-install backup manager without success.....
Anybody that can help out? Is there maybe an easier way to get back to defaults maybe somebody have an image or something of a stock operating system that could be copied? sorry I have no idea of this stuff yet still learning

Ok here is what I do. Let me know if I am doing ANYTHING wrong at all.
I load up root explorer and transfer my backupmanager.apk and .odex from ex-sdcard to /system/app
then I change the permission to r/w
press and hold the file and go to permission. There I set Owner to Read/Write and Group, Others just have read privilages.
Hold the file again. Then I scroll to the bottom to change owner and group to 0 - root...
Reboot...
The program doesn't appear in my apps? Anything I did wrong?

First off, you are doing it correctly. However, I'm not sure if backup assistant is even an app you can launch from the drawer. You have to launch the "My Accounts" app. Second, you can check if it worked by going into titanium backup, and looking for the app. If the name of the app is in red, then you did it correctly.

Hey thanks for that reply! I have looked into it and like you said, it was there in red but now I can't find the my accounts app all I can find is the my verizon wireless app and our doesn't have any backup functions from what I can tell.
Let me ask you this since you seen to be pretty knowledgeable. I have all the apps on my computer from that file above! Would I be able to just copy paste them with root explorer to /system/apps and then do a system factory restore would that work? Or do I have to manually find the apps I stupidly deleted and do it one by I've like I have been?

If you can't find the app, just go into Settings>Accounts.
As for your question: Unfortunately, it's not that easy (I would know, that's one of the first things I tried when I was fixing that contacts bug ). You would have to set the permissions and owners for every apk and odex file from the system dump. However, that contacts bug should've been fixed if you reinstalled those yahoo apps the same way you reinstalled the backup assistant.
Btw, you do know that backup assistant is pretty pointless since all of your contacts are synced with your Google account, right? People have reported no problems when removing the backup assistant app.
And thanks! I'm no android guru like many others here; just trying to help others with a similar problem that had me stumped for a good hour.

Thanks again. I've located the app but it still gives me troubles and not bein able to sync with the online server please call *811 or something like that. The only reason why I care its because I actually did backup all my contacts to the backup client but couldn't get them back on the phone now! I figured it out last night with syncing to gmail and it worked but still trying to get it back to normal. I will just have to do the rest manually haha! Appreciate it a lot!

I got that error message even without root with all of the system apps in place. Backup Assistant is just a poorly-coded app.
I'm pretty sure you didn't do much damage to your phone. I mean, as long as you didn't remove any other authenticators or other apps that blur needs in order for it to function, you should be fine just reinstalling the yahoo apps I told you about. After all, that looks like it's the only error you're getting.
And no problem.

Alright so now I need urgent help!
I went through the entire applications that I was missing and I gave them all permission etc. Rebooted my device and now I am stuck in this screen.
It's an endless loop because I get the error message and can't exit out of it.
Anything that can be done at all?

Haha, oh wow. I knew I wasn't the only one with that problem. Accounts loved to crash on me whenever I reset my phone. You can fix this one of two ways: hold the search button on your phone until it launches voice search. Say anything; as long as it launches the browser, you'll be fine. Once the search is performed, search for an apk for another home launcher. The accounts app basically hijacked your home button, so you'll need another launcher in order to get your home button back.
The second way involves using the desk dock. If you have one, then go into productivity mode. There should be an app drawer there. Open up the market, and install the launcher of your choice.
Once again, I had this problem even before root, so I'm not sure what the cause for this was.

I don't know what I would do without you lol... I was searching google like wild for droid 3 recovery but there is literally NOTHING out there.
Also let me ask you this. If I do a factory reset. Do I have to re-do the whole application proccess to give them permissions or should they be right now

Once it's a system app, it will always be a system app, even after resetting the phone. You should be fine.

So I tried doing the factory reset. Everything went smooth and I was hoping that my phone would be back to the old phone.
I am at the Welcome to DROID 3 screen. Tap on the little green guy, get to the motorola screen from before and same damn error. Except this time, I can't even try to use the voice or search buttons, none of them work.....
What now? I feel so stupid right now

[Q] WhatsApp can't detect the device

Hi all,
I just installed CM9 Alpha 2 on my TP (finally!) and so far I am loving it. However, I'm having issues with WhatsApp saying
Alert
We can't identify your device. Please turn off the phone, take out the battery, restart it and try it again.
Note: tablets are currently not supported.

However, some people with the Xoom tablet (and other tablets) can actually run WhatsApp. I dunno if they hacked the app or something but I've seen reports that it actually works on a tablet. I researched that they just downloaded the app directly from Whatsapp, not from the market. I've done that already and still have the problem.
Is there a way to fix this issue?
Thanks

For tablets without 3g function (wifi only) I have discovered the only way to use Whatsapp on such a device is as followed:
1. Grab your normal phone
2. Use Titanium Backup and Backup your current Whatsapp.apk and data
3. Install Whatsapp (download from the site f.e) on your tab but don't open the app yet.
4. Transfer backed up data to your tab in a (newly made) folder called TitaniumBackup
5. Open TB and scroll to Whatsapp and restore data.
6.Open Whatsapp now and you have Whatsapp running on your tab.
Make sure you have opened up a few conversations with the people you want chat with so those conversations are there.
Disadvantage is when you open Whatsapp on your phone again, it won't show the chats you have on your tab and vice versa.
Good luck

Yeah I know, had mentioned that in my post unfortunately
Good idea is indeed to buy a random SIM card, place it, register and open up all the chats with people you want to chat with and transfer data at least that number will be registered and rdy to use on your tab, good luck!

[Q] Database Backed Up To SD Card

I have a message that randomly pops up on my N6 that says "Database backed up to SD card". This actually happened on my Nexus 5 as well so this is really my first place to start as I can't find anything online about it.
I am stock, not rooted. I don't have any AV software or back up software that I know of. I don't sideload and don't run any non market apps. I can't for the life of me figure out why this message shows up and don't run any janky apps that I would normally do this.
Nova Launcher Prime 3.3 is the only thing I can think that might do it. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this and a solution of how I could narrow down what is doing it?
Thanks in advance
P.S. - I'll *try* to get a screenshot for future reference. The message always appears at the bottom of the screen in white letters

Do you use Whatsapp? It has some sort of a backup routine.
(or another app that backs up - check if your launcher has an auto backup option that is enabled)
