www.wf.com blank using android browser

Shows the title graphic, but not the login or option selections. Pretty much just a blank screen. Anyone have any tricks? I'd rather not use Opera or Dolphin just for one site.

Looks like it's flash based so you would have better luck with a 1.5 hero rom.

Why would a mobile web page be flash based? You couldn't view it on the majority of platforms...lame.

I have no idea why it's not working but that's NOT flash based.

Try the main page instead of the mobile site (source of my confusion). They used java on the mobile site, it could have something to do with it.

I have exactly the same issue on my MT3G though at one point it worked. Much better than the regular site as it is optimized for a mobile browser.

Were you using adfree? It's the only thing I can think of...Doesn't work on OpenEclair or new CM4.2.15 either.

Wife just got a droid and it works fine. Strange that it didn't work on an Eclair ROM for me if it works on the droid...

Guess I'm the only one who cares, but FYI, if you use the Steel browser, you can set the user agent to iPhone and it will work. Set it back to Android and no go again.

Whats new in FRF83 Froyo 2.2

I'm wondering what all we can be expecting, and looking for here.
I've been running the first released Froyo 2.2 that was FRF50 so I know of all the changes to that. I'm wondering what anyone is finding with the new FRF83 that just dropped.
If you see or notice anything, please post it.

- new kernel build

Protected apps now show in the market

no fm radio then...

Screen problem?

Nope... 50 is no different than 83 imo

Never had screen problems with mine, even with 2.1, nothing different here.

I've not had the screen problem at all on FRF50.. really. I think it was fixed. and not used 83 long enough yet to comment

Flash seems to run smoother, (the intro-video of adobe flash site is very nice to view!) but i still only can see flash BETA 3 :S

the crazy screen is worse than ever in 72. maybe cos I have korean keyboard installed i dunno. but it's also playing up in the market app when scrolling now.

trackball wake???? WHere

So far, the major change I see from FRF50 is the web browser. Scrolling is improved on certain (more complicated HTML?) web pages when Javascript is enabled. For example, try browsing Slashdot.org. Scrolls much smoother than FRF50. Seems like mild improvement over FRF72 also.
Edit: That's not all. Scrolling in market is smoother too - I suspect a change in kernel scheduling/interrupts or something fundamental and system-wide. Linpack is scoring 41+ with *default* kernel now - that's a good 6-8% faster than default kernel on FRF50 (I never tested FRF72). Either a side-effect of kernel improvements or further improvements to JIT.
Edit2: One more thing I noticed - something has changed with Flash handling in FRF83 from FRF72. Flash video on NYTimes.com was smooth and awesome (except in fullscreen) 2 days ago on FRF72. Now video quality seems to be significantly degraded (this is all on Wifi so I can't imagine what else would be different). I am still running the same Flash 10.1 beta 3 I was running before. This could possibly be something changed on NYTimes.com or elsewhere, hard to know, but I was really enjoying watching Flash video under FRF72 and I can't say the same now. I also tried switching to UAString Desktop in browser and playing some Youtube video, and they weren't degrading but seemed to be losing audio sync instantly. Definitely a few glitches in the matrix with the interactions between FRF83 and Flash 10.1 Beta3 that need to be addressed.

No, this has been discussed a thousand times. Google is not putting FM radio in, likely ever. It'll be up to the community.

Trackball alerts are not colored? wtf?

Sure they are, install Blink from the market.

Hahahahhha, it automatically reinstalled all of my old apps off the market after a wipe. That's new right?
I effin love google.

Installed, no change. Only getting White trackball.
Edit: Ok, now it seems to be working. Can't change incoming call LED (well, I tried orange, maybe it didn't like that color?)

Try switching off the default notifications see if that helps.

[Q] CM6 issues

Just wanted to run a few things by you guys to see if anyone has had the same problems or work around s:
anybody having trouble following youtube links? got a link to a users page and a channel page but youtube opens up with the grey loading box in the middle of the screen and the circle progress bar gone. doesn't do anything. I can go search for the exact same item and browse to it though.
tested the links on my pc and they work fine... so its not that.
going to the www url straight in the browser redirects to m.youtube.com and produces the same effect (ie: http://www.youtube.com/user/allaboutbikes )
I also downloaded camera magic; works as a substitute to the camera app.
However, two camcorder apps I tried (qik and anCorder) didn't work. Anybody else get a camcorder to work?

Have you flashed the youtube fix? I haven't noticed a problem with links.
The video camera is a known issue being worked on, but no fix yet.

youtube fix? where did you see that?
also, this might be a stupid one but I thought froyo was going to come with wireless tethering? Where can I find the apk?

YouTube fix should be in an-update-for-the-noobz.zip. If not I think its on PrimoWeb.
FroYo's wireless wireless tethering won't work on our devices.
Wired tether however does work great for us for the first time EVAR.

Is that the one with over clock fix? That bogged my phone down.
Will we ever get wireless tethering on our hero? The one from 2.1 won't work? My alosius came with it

hmm.. update for noobz is gone..

Try the Test 2 build on the IRC . No problems with YouTube.

University of Phoenix & NC

Any Nook Color owners University of Phoenix students? Have you tried to use your rooted Nook Color on the discussion boards of UoP? I know they optimized their website for use with iPads but I'm curious how well the discussion section works with the NC.

It works pretty well for me. I use it a lot when I am work and need to post or just to catch up on my discussion questions. I have accessed my class from the regular rooted nook, froyo and now I am using honeycomb. So all three work really well. The only problem I have noticed is that sometimes I have to zoom in to see all the thread options.

Thanks for the info. Sounds like it will work perfect for me as my portable device to take to work and be able to answer DQ and such. I'm weary of taking my MBP because I fear it might grow legs and wander off. If the NC does that it's a substantially smaller loss.

Help please?
I have my nook color rooted, no froyo or honeycomb, and I'm able to access the UoP site but can't scroll between the conversations on the discussion boards. This doesn't bother me so much because I can just click next to get to the next posting. However, I am unable to post replies. I click reply, and cannot click in the text field. I even tried a workaround that someone stated worked with the Ipad before it became compatible with the UoP site which stated to click paste text. That doesn't work for me either. Any way around this? I am using the Dolphin HD browser but I have tried it on the regular browser as well. Thanks in advance.

Hi Syndiesel sorry you are having problems. I haven't experienced any of this problems with my nc. I have been using mine for class since autonooter and haven't had any problems. I am not sure why yours is different. Have you tried other browsers such as firefox or skyfire?

Thank you for getting back to me!!
I haven't tried Firefox or Skyfire but I will download those now to check it out. Which one are you using? Also, are you able to scroll through the discussions?
ok I tried Firefox and it works there...but it moves pretty slow. I will download skyfire to see how that works.
OK Skyfire does the exact same thing and doesn't let me post. So far it's only Firefox that works. ugh...the part that sucks is that it moves slow. Could it be a setting in the browsers that prevents it?

I use it to browse through threads. The only problem that I run into is not being able to scroll through the frames of replies. I know I can click and go to the next one, but I would like to be able to quickly scroll through that frame to see replies to my discussion. Does anyone know if it is possible to scroll in frames?

[Q] HBO go

Okay I just loaded HBO go onto my G tablet with the VeGan rom 5.1.1. While the app runs when I try to sign on the app fails with a force close. Anyone using VeGan or any other ROM including stock having similar issues? If this app is as good as it is on my iPad (no flames, no snide remarks) then this will be a great app for the tablet community.
Code:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.HBO&feature=search_result

great for people in the US.
Doesnt work for the rest of the world

Works great on my Evo but not my Gtab with 5.1.1. I'm getting the same thing as you.

I haven't tried it on my G2 yet, but I'm also getting the FC when trying to sign in on my GTab.

Fc on Vegan ginger, works great from website.

FC on Cyanogenmod 7.0.2.

From the Website on your desktop or on the Website from your gTablet? If so, what browser? Opera reports unsupported. Haven't tried any of the others.

Doesn't work with my cable company either.

If I remember correctly, you need Android 2.3 or higher, not 2.2

Got it to work with Dolphin HD after I disabled the AdFree app I had running and checking "enable plug-ins" to always on. Full screen seems to be necessary as well to see the bottom of the page.
Just checked the normal android browser - works too with "Default Zoom" set to "far" to be able to see the whole page.
Vegan 5.1.1

It works great on stock HTC Incredible (2.2) and Droid2. I don't think you need 2.3

Anybody find a solution for this yet?

I'd like to know as well, having the same issue.

I have it working on BC 1.20. You need to download "!IMEIMe(b10)(5).zip" from this link "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103766". Put your ROM of choice into the same folder as the "!IMEIMe(b10)(3).exe" (from the unzipped file). Run it and answer yes when asked if you want to modify a ROM (some wording to that affect). Supply a "pass word/code", I used my G-tab serial number (you might want to read the topic for a LOT! of discussion on unique IMEI generation. It injects an IMEI into the ROM, based on the number you supply and renames the ROM adding "IMEI" to its name. You end up with two ROMs original and renamed ROM. Take the Renamed ROM and change its name to the standard "update.zip" and re-flash!. Both HBO GO and the Xfinity apps now work on my G-Tab.

Thanks for this rmac. I am playing around with this. So far with CM7 build 86 i got HBO to work, but it would not show any video. Might have been an HD video, which might not work on GB. I tried Caulkin and Vegan 5.1, but was getting FCs on both with HBO. Will play around more when i get home and will probably try BC 1.2.
Update: I have installed BC 1.2 and have hbogo working, however the picture is not great. It does full screen, but is not very clear. Anyone else have a better experience?

Yes hbogo has poor pic quality for me also. It would be a good app if pic quality was better, maybe a future update will address this issue?

According to the help built in the app, it supports HD. Definately a bug if that's the case- seems like it's defaulting to the lowest quality available.

hbo cinimax go
Hob go and cinemax go both work on tablets with skyfire web browser

HBO GO app has been updated in the Android market -- it now works fine on the GTab (at least it does on mine, running Froyo Clemsyn+Calkulin version).
