I noticed that when I have Google Play Movies running on my HTC One that it doesn't download the full HD Version that it does on my Nexus 5. Has anyone else seen this issue before and also is there a way to change it into thinking that its the other phone to get the full HD version?
Thank you

Anyone know if this will be released on the One X? I can't currently download it even though its on the play store.
Ever since I got my 8.9 Galaxy tab I've noticed issues with the Google Play store. Things like the HBO Go app not being available for it, but if you were to go behind the Google Play and manual install the Kindle fire's version it would work beautifully. I've ran into other apps that are not available for me, but are for similar devices. Now I'm noticing google is offering magazines, but they are only for 7 & 10 inch devices. Which makes no sense to me since you can buy a whole range of monitors for your computer and that doesn't seem to affect what your doing on it.
I guess I'm used to a world where to run an app you only need to have the correct OS and hardware to run it.
Why does android applications seem more concerned with brand name of your device and the screen size?
magazines
Looks like just after my post they updated my Google Play to allow for the purchases of magazines. It still seems that there are issues with the Android Market when it comes to compatibility that don't truly reflect if your device is compatible or not.

Google Play has been like this for a long time. Developers may wish on allow their app on confirmed working devices and will place restrictions on who can download it. While this helps keep their ratings higher from incompatible users hating their app. It leaves less popular devices out in the cold regardless of compatibility issues. But its why we have apk files and friendly xda members to get them for us
Hbo go updated their app it works now

My tab 8.9 does not want to load anything! I have tried clearing cache , clearing data, factory resets, still nothing!!!!
So I'm sure by now we have all seen that amazon instant video was released for the LG TVs released in 2012.
My question:
Is there any way we can do a device id change to be able to download the amazon instant video app from the play store?
Then if that is a real possibility, is there a way we could make it work on a nexus 7 while retaining access to all the available content to the nexus 7 and not only seeing Google TV content?
I'm guessing the answer to this is no, but I wasn't sure if there was a way to temporarily spoof a device id.
Thanks for taking the time to read and respond.
Best regards,

Hi.
I am very angry and frustrated with my Nook HD. It's because even though it now has Google Play store some apps ares till not compatible (like Instagram) and the device is somehow "locked" so one cannot install .apk files to it. So, im in the hunt for an alternative.
My wife has the Kindle Fire HD and i love the screen res, the size, the build and the speakers sound. But it's stuck to downloading apps via Amazon's own app store. I feel having Google Play store (or a very good alternative to the Plays store or Amazon App store) would be nice.
My questions are:
1. Can i download a 3rd-party app store/market on the Amazon app store via the device? If yes then what app store would you recommend?
2. Can i download .apk files on the Kindle Fire HD freely & openly?
Please advice.
Thank you,

1. Yes, you can install Play Store on it, but you have to be rooted. Most apps will work, but some will be stubborn. If you want full compatibility, flash CM10.1.
2. Like previously, most will be compatible. It's called sideloading.

I cover the KF quite a lot. These should help answer your question.
1. 3-rd party appstores. http://androidcowboy.com/2013/05/install-alternative-app-stores-for-kindle-fire-hd-video/
2. Yes. I have collected some here (http://androidcowboy.com/android-apk-files-download/) and sideloading instructions are here (http://androidcowboy.com/2012/01/how-to-sideload-apps-on-kindle-fire/)

Hey guys, anyone having issues with flixster? I can use it to get showtimes and movie trailers, but when I want to watch movies that I own (from vudu/ultraviolet) the app gives me a error and says they're working on the issue.
Works perfectly on my 3d, which is also rooted...so don't think that's the problem...thanks for the insights you may have.
Mine isn't working too. I Can watch trailers, but the movies won't load.

Can't watch movies with Flixster on rooted/custom ROMS and likely never will. The work-around, since they are UV titles, is to install Vudu from the app store. The problem with that is it won't work with Sprint based HTC One and you'll need to edit your build.prop to trick the Play store into thinking it's just a regular/international version. Once you have it installed you can switch back or leave it. Leaving actually will give you more options without losing any. Then you can watch all your UV titles without issue. At least I haven't had any.

Thanks so much for the reply and answer. I've been searching on how to change the build.prop what needs to change. I think I can change the values easy enough but I don't know the values are supposed to be for ro.product.device and model for the international version. the sprint version viperrom say m7wls. If someone can help with that, think I can get vudu playing...thanks!!
