[Q] Sky Sports TV app - RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am just wondering if someone can confirm if this app does work the razr i - there is conflicting info out there.
I am looking this phone on contract from orange and selecting Sky Sports TV as one of my 'swapables'. Orange provides a compatability list & states the 'razr 1' (which I can only assume is a typo) as being compatable, but sky do not list the device amongst those specifically listed as compatable.
Can any one advise please?
[EDIT] I did try to post the links to the app and the orange info page but not allowed because I'm new. From main orange swapables page, click 'the swapables' tab & then 'is your phone compatable'

Never heard of a Sky Sports TV app, but Sky Sports News, Sky+, and Sky Sports Football SC all work fine on the Razr i.
Sky Go doesn't work.

Soccer livescores 1.4.6 is free gives all leagues and world cup and international and friendlies etc
I also like Soccer Livescore. Just need the results on the go, doesn't need all the backgruond information some apps are providing.
yer i liked Soccer Livescore but i wanted something like the Sky Sports App that is on the Iphone, and this app comes close.
It even has match commentry.
i used to have 4 or 5 progams all running -but now i just use the one..

I agree this app is well worth the money and is being constantly developed too.
Google Scoreboard gives me all the footie results I want/need including as-they-happen goal updates.

It does!? I'm jumping on this right away. All other apps I tried had terrible coverage of Leagues 1 and 2. Everybody knows that's where the real football's at anyway.

Heytell works really well. Its similar to TIKL but can be used across phone platforms.
Soundhound works much better than shazam.
i've been trying to find a file sharing program similar to websharing that you have listed but the exact opposite. i want to view files on my pc with my phone ive tried all with no luck that i could find
Check out DropBox. It is pretty cool and might do what you want.

I'm not sure dropbox can stream videos. That's the main thing I would like to use. I've tried orb and it would setup correctly but the phone wouldnt see it
Spiderman HD and Stunt Jet Cars are two best games I played so far and they play and look more like PS2 games.
Oh and NewsRoom is the app that I use the most.You can read tech and other news feeds real eazy.

I haven't gotten it to work yet, but I think that VLC has some promise for streaming media.
DropBox is great for just sharing files.
As far as other stuff I've found...
If you are an MMO junkie, there is Pocket Legends of course to get your mobile fix. But to check in with your friends, Ventriloid (free Ventrilo client) is a MUST have.
Until Skype gets their act together, check out ooVoo - does great video chat and has a desktop client! The paid version lets you do up to 6 way video conferences.
PLEASE help me find these games

I prefer TiKL over HeyTell. HeyTell is not realtime. HeyTell is not real PTT. It's got a purtier UI though.

You really shouldn't mention being able to get apps for free. A paid app is paid to compensate the developer and even if you aren't directly to the pirated app you are supporting it which goes against everything these forums stand for.

I'll have to try out newsroom I use Pulse for RSS feeds.
Need for Speed is great.. best racing game on this phone IMO,
ALso try GURK.. good ole 8 bit RPG gaming.. it's soo addicting..
I just discovered a new app on the Epic General fourms.. called Droid Streamer
What a great app!
A little off topic, but to address flawlessbmxr's problem with orb... of course assuming everthing works except for the actual streaming.

To get orb to work over 3g (should already work over wifi) you will need to edit your RTSP Proxy Address one of two ways...
The first way requires that you know your MSL code for your phone... Enter ##DATA# into your dialer and you will be taken to a hidden menu, from there go in to Multimedia (or 'Edit->Others->Multimedia' if your on DK28 (or other Froyo)) and change the RTSP Address to 0.0.0.0
The second way requires that you have LauncherPro, ADW Ex (newest regular ADW might work too), or Any Cut installed on your phone. Just add a shortcut to one of your home screens and choose 'Activities->com.android.hiddenmenu->Multimedia(.Multimedia_Edit)' (as listed in DK28, may be slightly different in DI18)and then change your address as above. If your running ADW, you may need to choose Custom Shortcut, and click on Pick an activity to create the shortcut.

I've been using droidstreamer for a little over a week now. It does NOT have many vids. But, it does have full length movies and tv shows for streaming. It worked in 3g and 4g for me. And it's free . I usually just download shows and movies to my sd card and play through my video player though.

[Q] It's Opening Day! So...MLB.com app?

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.

Sky Go

Being away from the Android scene for quite a while so not too sure what is up with Sky Go.
It says Sky Go is not compatible with my Device (HTC One). Can't believe Sky needs to develop/update Sky Go for each single device. Anybody have any experience in Sky adding new devices?
Thanks

Google Cardboard - Homemade

I successfully made a homemade version of Google Cardboard. I used the plans that are available on the internet. I had to make some minor modifications to get it to work with my S5. First, I cut some extra holes for the power button and volume buttons to prevent them from getting pushed while in use. I had a couple of round small magnets that were being used as a fastener which fit nicely. Seems one magnet is used to hold the other magnet in place. The two magnets need to slide over each other to get the switch action.
The biggest modification I had to make, was to move the lenses further apart to get the images to line up. I am using lenses I found at Michaels and a set of fold-out lenses that were making up a cheap pair of binoculars. I need the most powerful magnifying glass I could find, in combination with the fold-out lenses. The Michaels magnifying glass was actually combined with lighted tweezers but had a magnification of 4X and was the right size.
Good luck should you try this project, It was worth a few hours of work.
Hi,
I also made it. In general it is successful but the application is limited.
Is tehre a way to view our own 3d videos for example ?
also, I couldn't find any developer forum or cotact about this.
Any ideas ?
thx.
I found one forum that had a good discussion about cardboard. For the most part it was a discussion on finding the parts for construction and their frustrations on finding the lenses. I did not bookmark it and have not been back to the site, sorry. The Oculus Rift site has some discussion about Cardboard, but again not much useful information.
I did a search in the Play Store and found a couple of apps that worked with the Cardboard goggles. My search was for "VR". The best app was "rollercoaster" and another was some jet flying program. A hang gliding program needed some type of keyboard input, it probably would work with some type of Bluetooth controller that I do not have. You might find some 3D viewer that would work with your videos. The only limitation would be control, the magnetic switch does not seem to be supported yet.
thanks for your reply.
actually I would like to have these:
- open 3d video file from my old Fujifilm 3D camera
- open side-by-side 3d videos
- open 3d videos on Youtube (currently it only shows popular Youtube videos -not 3d but in a 3d effected view)
- visit any place on Google Earth in 3D (currently only 4 cities supported on Cardboard app)
have you seen any app that do one or more of these ?
I still see no developments about cardboard. too sad.
Anyone have alternatives to the lenses needed for Cardboard? That kinda kills the project for me

The Google Earth demo supports the entire earth. It only starts in the four cities. You can fly into the sky and the fly back to anyplace on the planet. It is really amazing. As for your own content, you just need to output them as a side by side video or jpg. I look at my own images this way.
Also, for anyone wanting the physical viewer, just by a my3d. you can find them for $7.99 on amazon. It's a failed 3d viewer for the iphone. It has removable backs and you just leave it empty then hold it to your phone. Works great with the cardboard app.

Any NFC tags will work I imagine, as long as your phone has an NFC radio. You'll want to mount the tag in the cardboard so that it can be read by the phones NFC radio. Program it with the URL cardboard://v1.0.0

thanks. now I see that I can go to any place on Google Earth demo. But for example I wanted to visit London. and I could not see any 3d buildings. However, in Google Earth there are several 3D buildings for London.
what do you think ? Am I doing something wrong ?
I want to try Shadowgun VR, but it requires a bluetooth controller and my hands are already full with google cardboard.

While you can't play without a controller, it'll fly you around and when you stop you can at least look all around you. Worth a try because it's the most detailed/smooth world available at the moment IMO.
Also, I modded my headset to be hands free. It only took about 10 mins and a pair of old ski goggles. I used the padding from the goggles as well to line the cardboard to stop RNS (red nose syndrome).

what's the deal ?
Google Cardboard with NFC tag
Once the headset has been constructed, install the cardboard app on your handset, tap the handset against the NFC tag and slot it into the headset. Then you can watch YouTube videos, take a virtual tour around Paris or immerse yourself in an interactive story about a hat.
googlecardboard(dot)com
I too have this up and running and where there a few apps and games currently available i can see its potential is huge. Shadow Gun looks great, i do have a Bluetooth controller however the main problem I have is that once the phone is in the cardboard unit you have to constantly take it in and out to open and close apps, my controller doenst have all the correct buttons mapped to browse android properly. Can anyone recommend a cheap bluetooth controller which has keys and also works as a gamepad, big ask?
