Amazon prime video not working - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

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

Hi Tidbits
Thanks for the fast reply.
Do you use latest version ? I had to revert to an older version to finally have it work

I have the one that is in the Play Store which should be the latest available as I always have it to update auto.

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.

Try the one from the samsung store instead.

The version from the Google Play store worked fine for me.

I noticed that my Amazon prime video worked for normal viewing but while in VR headset, some videos are black screen with sound only...

Seems to be working fine .

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.

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.

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.

HBO GO For Tablet

So HBO GO launched for Amazon Kindle Fire. After some tinkering I was able to extract the APK and install it on my Motorola Xoom. I watched a few videos and so far it works great. I haven't tried it on other Android tablets other than the Motorola Xoom.

I wonder if it works for other Android tablets....
According to some people on xoomforums it doesnt work for them but they are also rooted.
No luck for me. It started running, then just gave me errors like "app not owned" and "app not available for this device". I'm on a Xoom WiFi, ICS 4.0.4 straight from Google. No rooting or anything like that.

Edit:
I believe the reason why its working on my xoom is because I purchased the app already. So when it checks Amazon's servers to see if the App has been purchased, it shows that I have purchased the app and allows me to install.
1. First uninstall hbogo. (If already installed....)
2. Then open up the amazon app store. Type "Hbo go" in the search.
3. Scroll down to the HBO Go Kindle Fire Edition. Click on the "Free" Button as illustrated in the picture below (your button should say free instead of open).
This will allow you to purchase the app but it will not install. Its going to tell you its not compatible or something like that.
4. Then try to install the apk that was posted above and see will it work. Please post if it works or do not work for you.. Also post your tablet, rooted, unrooted, rom, 4g or wifi only and etc. This will help the dev community get it running on all android tablet devices.... Thanks
seems to work on my touchpad...
Thanks I saw the instructions on Xoom Forums and it worked perfectly.
Edited for clarity: I'm on Xoom WiFi, ICS 4.0.4, No root.
I got it to work on my Transformer Prime.
1. Go to amazon.com and search for "hbo go in android apps".
2. 1-click buy (for free).
3. Download this APK and install.
Unfortunately my cable provider is time warner who can't seem to get their **** together with HBO Go and don't support this kindle fire version (just like they don't support it on xbox 360) so I couldn't actually log in but I was able to view preview videos just fine.
The Amazon App store work around works for me. Thnx.
Thanks... Please post if it works or do not work for you.. Also post your tablet model, rooted, unrooted, rom, 4g or wifi only and etc. This will help the dev community get it running on all android tablet devices.... Thanks
Works on Samsung GTab 8.9
I have a wifi only Gtab.
I ended up just buying the app on the website and not in the Appstore app. Othere than that I followed the instructions and everything is fine.
Wonder why they have a setting for 3G playback? AFAIK, there are no 3G Kindle Fires
Unrooted Galaxy Tab 10.1
Working just fine after "purchasing" the app on the Amazon App Store.
Worked like a champion on my unrooted stock Acer Iconia A510. Thanks a lot!

I downloaded the Amazon app store and purchased the app from there
I had already installed the HBO GO app and after purchasing in the amazon app store the app is working perfectly so far
My 3G connection is a bit slow but its working, lol
I have had problems with games on the EOS rom's also, but I installed this on a Wingray Xoom rooted running AOKP 38 and it works great, just need a login, will call my parents tomorrow. Thanks mom
I am running EOS nightly 94 it doesn't work.

Finally arrived, few questions.

got it hooked up in about 2 minutes, very simple. Everything works great.
I was hoping to be able to stream my torrent movies (mkv, avi...etc..) from my home PC. I was hoping VLC would have some type of plug in that would allow casting.
Photos from my Note 2.. anyway to cast them onto my television?
Thanks in advance

I just got mine today and have been doing some research...you can tab cast videos depending on the format (AVI does not work, but most others do). I was able to play a .mp4 version of a TV show perfectly (either drop the file into the tab or right click "open with" chrome...you will know the format isn't support if it saves the file instead of playing it). I would also imagine that a lot more apps will add casting soon.
As for pictures, one of the devs is working on a dropbox casting mod now...supposed to be available very shortly.

Thanks for the prompt response. I did look at a few threads but my head was spinning fro the pages of questions within questions. I really am only interested in streaming movies from my Computer and showing photos.
I did see that Koush is working into CM that anything can cast through that rom. I wont be flashing that on my Note 2, but I would on my Nexus 10 and New Nexus 7.
Ill try to keep up with the threads in the meantime.
I saw that about CM ..don't think I can pull the trigger and flash that on my note 2 either though. Give the tab casting a shot...hopefully that will work for you until VLC or one of nth another major video players adds casting.

I'm pretty sure that means that it's a video format that is not supported. If it's supported, it will play within the window
So just to be sure, you didn't download the media player extention right?

Yes. Same thing happened to me with .avi files.
If its not .mp4, it will not work and it will download.

I bought mine early last week at my local Best Buy and they print your free 3-month Netflix trial code right on your receipt. In addition to printing it on the receipt, they also send the code via email to the email address they have on file with the Best Buy Rewards card.

YouTube 6.0 update! Now has 1440p and on screen pause buttons!

YouTube just updated! Features new Lollipop Ui, and 1440p, on screen controls while in full screen (fixed now), and optimizations! Recommoeded that you try this!
Download link for update: http://download1209.mediafire.com/p...om.google.android.youtube_6.0.11_60011301.apk
Great update. Pounced on it as soon as I saw the android police article. Everything is running smoothly now :thumbup:

Agree, works on stock rooted ROM. Don't know why potatomanwrl is having difficulty unless he is not searching for
and watching 2k/4k video or changing the video quality settings to 1440p?
I'm not rooted, but I did search for and find 2k and 4k videos, when I try to change quality, 720p is max offered. I'm also using the T707A. So maybe it just won't work yet for my device.

Well it might be your model? Is your tablet from att? I never though that some LTE devices could have issues having quality changing. But it could be just your model tablet having issues.
I'm on the Verizon (807V) variant and it seems to max out at 720 as well ... Kind of annoying

So it depends on your model on if you get 1440p or not I guess. Works fine for smt800.
SM-T800 here... been on this version of YouTube since last night about 8:00.... 1440 works like a champ... so glad to have full screen controls back again... material design looks pretty sweet too :good:
Works fine on tab s. I installed this apk on Note 4 and unfortunately max resolution is still 720p...
great thanks
for some reason videos finally seem smoother with this version of Youtube
now to get Netflix etc to be smooth on Android - the frame drops/lags do my head in - wheras our 2 Ipads (even the Ipad 3) are smooth as silk with same content
Finally 1440p YouTube!!! Thanks so much, works perfectly on my tab s 8.4

Weird... Netflix on my Note 3 and Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 and Galaxy Tab S 10.5 ... all flawless ... especiallly what you say about frame drops and lags... never seen that before... if my internet is bogged down because everybody in the house is streaming then i will see the resolution drop sometimes but framerate is always steady and consistent.

I never seemed to have any problems with Netflix either no lag or anything same with Youtube at 1440p
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I could watch 1440p already with the old version? But it's cool, that the buttons are visible again.​

ref smoothness - how strange - I get judders/frame drops in pans, sometimes in sudden movement etc as well - in particular with Netflix but seemingly with most streaming "flash" content
yet "local" 1080p content is smooth as silk
I've tried connecting via 5G as well as normal N to no difference
its not the network connection - buffer fine - and Ipads streaming from same router
just in comparison the Ipads video is much smoother in frame rate - perhaps its something that some people notice and others not - because as I said I get the same issue with my Exynos Tab S as I do with my Snapdragon 800 Note 3 - in fact in some films on my Note 3 (Transformers was one) - the break-up was bad enough to cause a glitch in the sound - if you rewound - you'get the same breakup in same place every time - yet not with IOS - it was almost like the CPU or GPU maxing out - I tried forcing 2D GPU etc settings in developer options to no avail
YMMV I guess

They had 1440p in old version then they removed it and now they put it back.

Does it play Netflix and Amazon Prime in HD?

I've read on a couple forums that huawei phones don't support Netflix HD and Amazon Video in HD. Is this true? I might have to go with the S9 plus if it is
I have on Netflix HDR. So I guess that answer ur question.
If you upgrade from an older huawei and use the phone clone, the amazon app will not show the 4k content, but if you uninstall it and re-install it does
Netflix, I get no HD/UHD 4K/HDR content
I'm using the version CLT-L29 8.1.0.102(c782) on Three UK

don't believe that
Ultra HD works fine on Amazon app for the Mate 10 Pro, so should work fine on the P20 Pro and does if you have the 106(C432) version. When you install on the 102(C732) version it shows UltraHD content then refreshes and it's gone - if you were watching something in UltraHD when go to continue watching it is listed as UltraHD but you can't pick anything else.
Netflix works on the 106(C432) in HD/HDR but not on the 102(C732) both devices are for european markets, but not sure why one is 432 and other is 732 and why the 732 is behind on the firmware front, I have emailed Huawei regarding this to find out why we can't get the features
I have 102 C782 which doesn't show UHD for example, Blackout says "This video is currently unavailable"
I am in the UK on Three

Camera controller missing - any downloadable apk?

Hi,
I have 2 galaxy watch 3 devices (my wife and me), one paired with note9 the other one with A50.
I've noticed that the one paired with A50 does not have "camera controller" app (the one included free - Samsung app) and it cannot be found in galaxy store.
Ive tried another app (partly free) in store and it works with A50, so I don't understand where is the problem, because my watch has the app and I'm able to find it in store.
Anyway, how could I get the app from my watch (paired with note9) to send it to my wife's watch?
Both watches are LTE, same model SM-R845F.
Or maybe there is any "repository" where I could download the camera controller app?
Thank you

This is what I understood why it's not visible as it's device restricted...

Nevertheless, I grabbed the wgt and created an apk to push to the watch, not sure if it would work but only you can tell, I tested it on my phone and watch...
CameraController installer:
Google Drive - TPKs/WGTs - Camera Controller Installer
Install the apk on the phone that you want the watch to have the camera controller...
Thank you for your effort an sorry for late reply,
Unfortunately it gives the message to update the firmware on my note9, and I do not want to update as I do not want to loose the call recording capabilities.
Found a third party app in galaxy store that is working, even the free version, One Camera.
Thank you,

Fair enough and call recording is a CSC line feature, unless you're saying your note 9 is not rooted...
installed but didn't worked for me ... can't find de app after that and also i don't have a samsung phone...that should be the reason why ....
anyway tks for your effort

THX for your effort. But doesn't work on galaxy S8 (stock no-root) android 9 (I think). Just says to update the phone's system software... Maybe it is looking for android 10 and up? Maybe it is possible to just let it look for android 8 and up on the phone instead?

Sadly, tpks/wgts are unmoddable, the things you can change are limited, and shm mainly depended on the phone app, hence it was easier to play with
I have the S22 ultra, and the Watch 5 pro, and this app doesn't work, and I can't install it from the official store, it says my watch is not compatible lol.
