When I first flashed stock 2.2 the media hub was working. I was able to preview movies and rent them via samsung. I flashed cognition and installed the apk from his bloatware pack and no dice. Its back to not working anymore. I assume that media hub version on 2.2 is different than 2.1. Does anyone have the apk for media hub from froyo?

Videos still won't work on Media Hub on captivate. The Vibrant folks got an OTA update to assist with DRMd content. We need that, methinks.

The HD video content is amazing on the captivate screen. It actually made me want to pay their high prices..... So far, I have to say the content is surprisingly there in volume.
What is different from the Media hub app in Froyo? Or is this the same and people are putting this on Eclair?
You mean, you guys got it to work after downloading a video? It works only for trailers for me.

Have not actually purchased a movie yet. I didnt realize it quit working after that.
edit: had the same problem at first, worked for trailers, downloaded fine, didn't play movie.
then I thought what off this is an attempt by att to sell the data plan? I turned off wifi and on edge it acquired the license. confirmed playing movies

Wonder why it would need to authenticate?......sometimes I hate AT&T.
well the license is definitely a samsung thing and has to do with weather you rent or buy the movie so it can be deactivated after 24 when you rent it. I don't know of a reason to only allow the license over cellular, other than to maybe verify with att that you are using a galaxy s device and haven't ported the apk over to another device. or maybe att gets a piece of the pie, and using there network helps them tally it all up.
also you know how att likes to tell you if you use x feature on a phone you purchase we want to add this to your bill. for instance att has data plans that allow tethering that are very expensive, if don't know if they force these plans on phones that support tethering, as far as I know you can't buy such a phone from att. also if you have a smart phone you cant exclude data from your plan unless you have never bought a smartphone from att and you buy the phone outright and make sure smartphone exclusion is on you're plan. just like the unlimited data plan once you get rid of smartphone exclusion you can't get it back as fast as I know, and the network detects the device you are using.
just there way of saying if you want the service you gotta pay us even if we have nothing to do with the service I are getting. its not right but that's what they can do if you sign a contract.
we won't know if its att specific unless we go over to another forum and see what the epic guy are talking about.

saw people were having luck with spoofing the i.d. of their device to a compatible device to trick netflix into working.
It installed fine and brings up my instant queue and such, just won't play them. Gives me a "your device is not currently supported".
Haven't had time to install the custom ROM and delve into those things yet, maybe next week I will.

I tried with all the values mentioned in that thread. Still no dice and changing all these to "vision" will FC Swype. even after changing build.prop back.
Swype back after cache and dalvik wiped. I'm noticing most with unofficial devices are having luck w/ cyanogen roms.
I have the LG G2X phone which is a tegra 2 and netflix is working for me just fine.
I made only two changes to the build.prop. but it only ran when I had CM 7 installed. Not when I had stock froyo. I just tried with the streak 7 and it looks like it starts to play but then exits.. It's also not working on the asus transformer with the build.prop
weird that it works on an asop rom.
Stupid question, Cause I have a G1 and a HD2 which can run android. Think either of these would be able to be used to test if this works? Or would it be pointless.
Im running Netflix now on my HTC Aria running FR008 Rom. bet it works on yours too!

The hd2 can run netflix fine as long as you use the nexus one based builds. I run it without a problem. The Hd2 has been able to run netflix using windows phone 7 since windows phone 7 was able to be ran on it.
Thanks, Upgraded from Superram to the Nexus GB rom, Got it on my HD2 now. =)
Now just to wait on Dell.... sending my streak 7 in to get rid of this random menu/keyboard poping up issue Ive been having. Then hopefully things work 100% stable.
What are you guys using for a prop editor and where can I get it?

I used rootexplorer app, I believe it has a built-in text editor that will allow to change the values.
I'm not requesting this or anything; I'm just curious. Would it be possible to make Netflix work on our phone? Or what is it about our phones that makes it not work?
Thanks.
Whoa. Is netflix even on the android yet? Because that would be sweet.
Yeah it is, you can find the apk on XDA, but videos won't play on the Hero...you can browse the instant play queue, but that's it. I am trying a few of the widely talked about edits to spoof it into playing but no go on the Hero yet.
Tried:
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
and
ro.product.model=Nexus S
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
Neither worked for me...I get to where the video will appear to be loading, then the app kicks back to the main screen.
you would need flash 10 for netflix to dont u or do they have it mobile formated now.
I believe it's mobile formatted...it plays fine on my iPod Touch...

That's what I was thinking about trying too. I'm thinking the app itself needs to be changed somehow, but I'm a newb so it's just a guess. I don't know if it's even possible to do that.

just becarefull when your modding apks because everyone got into trouble for fixing angry birds awhile back my suggestion is if you get it working keep it for yourself. and dont distrebute it on xda.

Yeah Nexus One has been tried...not by me, but others who haven't been able to get it working.

I hope we won't get into trouble. I would imagine they would praise the mod since it'll allow pre-existing customers to access their paid service account.
Just tried this, didn't work. Even got rid of at least some of the heroc's.

^^^^^DOES NOT WORK^^^^^
im pretty confident it will not work on the hero ever same reason as flash, i know they said they would only be supporting new snapdragon processors due to some sort of DRM compliance
i am also pretty sure that it needs an ARMv7 processor for some sort of hardware acceleration much the same way flash does, so its going to be more than just some build prop edits
best chance of it working
drm.apk from evo
build.prop edit
alot of luck

The Optimus S/V has it working, they have a ARMv6 like us. Also, according to someone's twitter update (just saying, it might be true) Random Google Search they got it working on the HTC Hero.

That's what I've gotten so far. I only used the method in the description, and I posted above.
It just uploaded, so I don't know if it's public yet.
i almost wonder if it has something to do with it not really having a GPU thats all excuses though i honestly thought it was cause by what i posted so this is awesome proof of concept guys keep up the good work
Trying the Optimus' way now. Hopefully it'll work. I'd love to have this on my phone, even though it will overheat the heck out of my battery .
By the way, I'm on AOSPCMOD 4/29, and it worked with AOSP's other ROM for the Optimus V. But then again, they have a working screen on-off animation, and we don't .
That I am pretty sure is because of the gpu esp for how choppy they were when they do work

I know, you'd think it'd be no problem, which is what I assumed. Perhaps support for the OMAP4 is coming via update?
That would be my guess. I think the D3 is the first with OMAP 4 in it, the Bionic is next so once a few devices have it and are selling Netflix will see a reason for it.
There is also multiple different netflix's out there, have you tried all of them?
Hi I tried netflix on cyanogenmod 7 and it worked fine, but when I try to do it in coredroid it said my phone was able. What sup with that.

I don't want to pay some other company every month to use their software to watch something offered by another company I pay money to.
Well if you can't wait just use a 30 day trial from playon.tv and get netflix that way.. I would imagine they will have the app by the end of this month or early next
Same here with the green crap. Audio actually does work, by the video decoding is busted. I used 3 or 4 different version of Netflix, some crashed my phone, others had the busted decoding.
It's compatible now, or so it says. Mine isn't working. It streams but everything is all green.
Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk
Yup same here. It will allow me to download and install from the market, but I get the green pixelated screen followed by a reboot.
Confirming, officially supported, and still officially broken.
The version you are downloaded is the 1.2.2 and we have to wait for the "official" 1.3 update. It seems Google is possibly being a little slow?
The 1.3 update just hit the android market and it now works for the D3... Although the colors are not as good as it looked on my old Droid Inc.
Maybe some tweaking can resolve the color issue...
Confirmed, updated version is working for D3 quite nicely.
Hey there, my more experienced friends. I have been lurking for a while now, and am preeeeetty sure this question or some variation hasn't been asked yet. We'll see.
I am an American living in China and bought the Chinese unlocked dual SIM/SD card HTC One. Though I think it's a great phone, some aspects REALLY bother me.
#1 - It has this ****ty HTC Marketplace rather than the Google Play Store
#2 - I can't get the Blinkfeed to display anything but Chinese jibrish
After a few weeks of finding NO apps that I want, I took my phone to a large electronics market in Shanghai and had my phone rooted. Some things became better, some worse.
1) I asked the guy to get me the Play Store and he did...but not everything is available on it. I'm unsure why this is.
2) It's obvious that the Beats sound is no more.
3) I still can't get Blinkfeed to change whatsoever.
4) I can find more apps than before with both the Play Store and HTC Marketplace, but something is missing. I don't really know what it is.
5) The camera seems to be much less clear than it was before.
I guess my question is, since it's unlocked is there something I can do to wipe the Chinese stuff off of it and install all American software? Did the guy get me a less than optimal root? What am I doing wrong? What's the easiest solution?
All I want is for my phone to function like an unlocked US or International version. Thanks in advance for your help!
I suspect at least part of the problem is the government firewall blocking things.
You might start by installing Xposed framework and the Modaco toolkit module for it. Modaco has a setting that blocks the Play Store from checking your location.
But the best solution is probably flashing one of the custom roms with a non-carrier-specific setting. Not sure what that would do for you, but it should help.
I can confirm that the Government is blocking some of the apps. Both my phone have the play store but on is still on v3 and the other on v4. I couldn't find an airport security game and all the featured apps and top are also china-fied.

VPN won't work.
You could have one of two issues.
If you just can't view certain apps, do a search in a browser and open the link to the play store. If certain apps can't be installed, then you need to fix it another way.
If you have a foreign SIM card, put it in the phone, empty the play store cache, restart phone. Once you restart, you will be able to view/install the apps available in the country that SIM is from.
Maybe there is a rooted method that works now, but last I checked there wasn't a reliable working alternative. I used this with my One X I bought/used in China.
