Zinio

I have been looking for a way to read my magazines that I have on Zinio it seems forever. Well, thanks to the Galaxy Tab there is a way! It consists of three apps that need to be installed. My Zinio library is hit or miss for content but it has about half of my stuff I subscribe to. It works in portrait, and landscape. Can zoom, and has the text button so you can read the articles more easily. I like it!!

Thanks for posting this. I've been using Zinio on my G Tablet for a few weeks now and am loving it. All of my subscriptions show up with only one exception. There is an "interactive" version of National Geographic Traveler that refuses to show up in my list. I'm thinking it may be because of it being an "interactive" selection.
I've sent Zinio support an email about it and hopefully they will turn me on to a newer apk.

Not sure they will do that since it is only for the Galaxy Tab right now but if they do... I would love to know

Great find - going to install this tonight. Sprdtyf350 I see we have the EXACT same taste in magazine subscriptions.

Got a response from Zinio support. They apologized for my inconvenience and asked if my tablet came with the app installed. I told them that it had not and told them that my tablet was running froyo with Flash.
Now I await the next response. I will update you all when I hear back.

This is the latest response from Zinio support:
Hello, Thank you for contacting Zinio Customer Support.
The Zinio Android app that is out there right now is a developers version and is not complete. Even though it works for the most part there are some bugs that are still being worked on. Currently, the Android app is available only as a pre-installed application on select devices.
We are working on an expansion plan now. If I can be of further assistance, please let me know.
Kind regards,
Alfredo Noriega

Hopefully they will release a version for the rest of us in the market soon.

Interesting. Kind of what I expected them to say. What I get from that is either they are putting a developer only app on the Galaxy Tab that is presently being sold or there are 2 different ones out there. The one I linked to is from the Galaxy tab.

Could anyone that has this do a search on skateboard and list what they find? there should be 4 mags: http://gb.zinio.com/search/index.js...kateboard&button.x=0&button.y=0&button=Search
Can anyone confirm this? if it works, ill buy this tablet

please please please! also, is there any video footage of this running on the viewsonic? can you make any? is it smooth?

I have to say they have pretty good support. They issued a full refund for the subscription to the "interactive" magazine I couldn't bring up on my gTab.
So while I would have preferred they give me a newer app that would allow me to have read it on my gTab, I guess a prompt refund is the next best thing.

Zinio will soon be in the Market
Just received an email from a Zinio rep saying that they are about to release the Zinio app in the Market. I guess this will mean we won't keep having to run the one from the Galaxy Tab dump for much longer.
Zinio link to the android page

Working great on my G-Tab
I'm running Vegan 5.1.1 and it works just fine.
I have 3 magazines I subscribe to and they all are there and download fine.
Thanks for the heads up. I never even thought of trying to get Zinio working until I read your thread.

Still don't see my April issues in Zinio
Hey guys, are you having any luck in seeing your April issues in Zinio? I can still see all my older magazines fine but I don't see the new issues delivered. I know they were having problems for the last two or three weeks but I saw an email that said all was well again. But I still don't see my new issues and I've send Zinio Support an email about it but haven't heard back yet.
Thought I'd ask the community.

I have issues that I can see on the website, but do not show up on the Tablet. So I guess there is something wrong..

Yeah, so you're in the same boat as me. I can see the April issues on the Zinio website in my library but they don't show up in the Zinio app on the gTab at the moment. I wonder if this has anything to do with their imminent official Market app release which should be soon.
In the meantime they did send me a $15 credit to use on another magazine on their site but until I can read them on the gTab again it's not much of use to me.

Some April issues are showing up but not all of them
Like the subject line says, I noticed last night one April issue out my five subscriptions showed up in the Zinio app but not the other four. Then just a minute ago I used the $15 credit they sent me for the outage for another subscription and that issue showed up as soon as my order went through. At this time the other four subscriptions April issues haven't shown up in the app.

Where is Transformers stored

I downloaded the Transformers movie so that it would be available offline. I have used up a whole load of memory in doing so. I would now like to back it up so that I can delete it from my Nexus and restore it when I want to use it. I have had a look through the /sdcard and can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know where it is stored so I can back it up?

Its in /sdcard/Andriod/data/com.google.android.videos - I believe.
I deleted it from there.

*snip* Nevermind.

I think you have to "clear data" on the Movies app. I'm not sure what happens if you do the above and delete the framework file - which is the encrypted DRM wrapper around the content, including Transformers and whatever else/cache it has downloaded...

You could just untick the save offline thing in the actual app to download it...

I unchecked the "save offline", available space did not change. Started checking folders to find it, then just rebooted, and the available space opened up.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but does anyone buying the nexus 7 get this movie free regardless of place of purchase?

Yes, I purchased the 16GB version from Staples Canada (still waiting for GP to even process my order from June 28th). Yes, as soon as I registered the device I received $25 GP credit and had access to the free movie.

im downloading it just to see if looks better than it does when its being streamed because im not all that impressed by the streaming quality

It took me about 1.5 hours to download it.. It took forever, probably throttling on Google's cloud side..

It seems like if you click on the push pin it'll download it too.

One thing I wanna know... let's say you download the movie to your tablet and then delete it, can we re download it again? It stays on the cloud forever right ?

Smart Dock Arrived Today!

I mentioned in another thread a couple of days ago that Verizon had the Smart Dock, and that it was shipping. Came today, and all I can say is...WOW. I am running Jedi, and the orientation is landscape, NOT portrait as claimed elsewhere...I added no new app to automatically change this, so it is either baked in to the ROM or in Nova. Either way, it is badass. Get one.

Thanks! I'm assuming with a stock rom it'll be portrait, but that's fixable according to at least one video I saw.
Edit: I'm kind of surprised Verizon was the first to get these in an nobody else seems to have them yet. I think people aren't even getting them from Samsung yet.

pix?

lucky ive been waiting since i heard about these a month ago for samsung to get some in stock seem like they never will.

Had to use the company Nexus to take these lol.

Yeah, I got tired of waiting. I heard in my other thread (where I was b!tching about the dock not being available yet) that Verizon had them...it was the day before they shipped the Note 2 to their customers. Lo and behold, the order went through and an hour later it was sent via 2nd day delivery. If you don't mind paying full price ($99), they are still in stock at Verizon (or at least they were this morning when I checked).

Judging by the close up picture it looks like there is indeed a case on the sgn2. From what I remember from the videos it has like a spring loaded injection port. I was going to take 50% off at Samsung but I have a feeling that they're just waiting for those coupons to expire.. i may just have to check Verizon tomorrow

Yes! In fact, you can see in the close up pic that I have an official Samsung hard case on mine. They made the dock really cleverly in this regard. The bottom where the phone actually sits is spring-loaded, so it will accommodate a number of case sizes. I'll try to make a video of that.
Also, my boss has the S3, and I heard people theorizing that it should work in the dock. It doesn't, at least not completely. The display out works, but the USB doesn't.

From what I understand, the dongle is merely a wireless streaming device. The dock charges the phone, allows 3 usb inputs, HDMI, and audio out. Essentially, your Note II turns into a mini desktop computer/media device. I spent the remainder of the day yesterday after it arrived at my office actually doing all of my work on it (emails, web, etc). It worked amazingly well.

I've been trying this out for a few days. At first I had a couple issues with the chromecast rebooting every few minutes, but after doing a factory rest it seems fine now. I've got it hooked up to an old stereo system (and monitor) replacing an Airport Express I used to stream from my Ipod. Got to say I like the chromecast a lot better, doesn't have as many features but was much easier to set up and does what I want (Google Play Music and Youtube) perfectly.

I can't link yet (under 10 posts) but you can search amazon for:

Just make sure you have a 5V 1A usb charger for it to work properly. I used an apple wall usb charger.

I have one converter than I am willing to sell. I've bought it a month ago on Amazon : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0080KN18K/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
because the stupid rental unit where I am currently on vacation still has an old TV. I've only used it for this short amount of time, because I needed to connect my Logitech Revue. I've also connected the Chromecast both through the Revue and directly to the converter. It's perfectly working , you can see some pictures here

Amazon prime video not working

Hi Guys,
For an unknown reason, Amazon prime video doesn't seem to want to work on my Note 8 (works flawlessly on other android and Samsung devices I have). Everytime I start a video I get an errorstating "Decryption failure".
Another thread in the S7 forum suggested renaming a system file but I'm not rooted and don't intend to for the moment.
Anybody else seeing the same behaviour ?
Any solution not requiring root ?
Thanks

Works fine on mine, prime video ver 3.0.211.123021. Maybe you should try to go to settings/apps/primevideo/storage and clear cache and data and force close the application. You will need to sign in again and redo amazon settings.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for all the replies and suggestions.
After several tries with the old Amazon apps, I tried with the latest from Samsung's App (3.0.212.4821 from... today apparently !!) and it works so far.
Google Play suggests updating to 3.0.212.4841 (22nd of september) but i'll keep with the Samsung approved one until I figure out why it didn't function properly.

Google Play suggests updating to 3.0.212.4841 (22nd of september) but i'll keep with the Samsung approved one until I figure out why it didn't function properly.

Still not working with the suggested version ( 3.0.212.4821 from Samsung App Store). Any ideas?

Hi Guys,
After a month of testing, I isolated my problem : Amazon Prime Video works perfectly well on my Galaxy Note 8 alone. Problems start when I try to use the HMDI connection : I want to watch my movies on a big screen using the USB-C to HDMI cable. It works perfectly well with everything else, but systematically causes an error with Amazon Prime Video latest updates. Only by reverting to very old apk versions am I able to use it with HMDI connection.
Any ideas ,
Thanks

I tried everything and downloaded one from Galaxy app store as well. It still doesn't work on my note 8. Please help. I just bought a one year subscription

Just checked casting, get sound but no video. b.s. copyright sh*t !?
Older version worked casting to chrome cast. But using screen mirroring to Samsung TV got video, but audio on phone not tv, which might be nice for night time viewing.
Sent from my SM-N950U using XDA-Developers Legacy app

Works fine on my Note 8.

I just got the Note 8 and Prime Video only works about half the time. The other half, it spins like it's loading but never loads. The interesting thing is that all other video streaming apps become unresponsive as well (Hulu, YouTube, ect) after Prime Video. Any solutions so far? I'm using version 3.0.205.34141

I'm in the same situation as the OP. I eventually got HDMI-out working on my Galaxy S8 (5-yr old phone) with a very old prime video APK, and possibly (I can't remember) doing the file rename mentioned at this XDA thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/amazon-prime-video-decryption-failure.3603573/page-2
2 problems:
A.) When mirroring to a TV via HDMI on the Galaxy S8 (phone), the resolution and color of the video playing are worse on the TV than on the phone (example, I'll have downloaded full HD content, like 4GB for a movie, and it will look fantastic (like 1080P or better) playing on the phone, but looks noticeably worse (like 240p or maybe 480) on the TV. .... because of this, I purchased Samsung's newest tablet, with confirmed HDMI-out ability.
B.) So, on the Galaxy Tab S8 (Tablet --latest samsung tablet in 2022), I'm getting the "decryption_error" message as soon as I connect to a TV via HDMI cable. I don't plan to root it, so can't rename that file referred to in the other thread..
Questions:
1. Are others seeing the poor resolution after going to the trouble of getting HDMI-out working? (as in #A above).
2. Did others have any luck fixing the "decryption error" by changing to a newer HDMI cable? (changing cables sounds fishy, and this answer found elsewhere on the internet is the amazon helpdesk equivalent of 'reboot the computer')
Please let me know. I may go to the trouble rooting the tablet, but only if others have gotten HDMI-out at full, HD/UHD resolution to a TV.
