[Q] HBO Go FC's on GetDeviceId? (TNT lite 440) - G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The new HBO Go (HBO on demand) app works great on my Galaxy S, but on my Gtab (TNT Lite 440) it FC's with a NullPointerException on a call called "GetDeviceId".
My guess is this is is related to the Gtab not having an IMEI since it doesn't have a cellular modem.
Is there a way to fake the IMEI (not for any illegal or nefarious purposes, but just to have a value returned other than NULL when it's polled).
Thanks

I'm curious too if anyone can get this app to work on the gTab. I can browse etc. but as soon as I click the "Sign in" button the app force closes.
It works great on my Incredible and my husband's Droid 2 (rooted).

My stock 3588 force closes when I too try to sign in.

Likewise, FC under VEGAn-Tab GingerEdition RC1 (which, if memory serves, is based on CM 7).

Yes, great app, I hope someone gets it working!

Netflix

Sorry if this is already reported, but Netflix has upgraded the client and it is no longer available in the market. Is there a workatound?

Netflix apparently removed the app because of the issues some people are having with it. Since its a free app, you can probably easily find the older .apk file by googling.
I just found it using the Galaxy tab and the htc buildprops.
The galaxy had video but chipmunks.
The htc worked, but I had no video until moving the app toSD.
I am running MN.
Good luck.

Here's the thread with the latest updated Netflix apk.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13730649&postcount=1
Just installed, chipmunk because of the accelerated video. So I'd suggest try editing your build.prop as suggested above to see if it helps.

I keep getting the following message:
"It looks like Netflix has been deactivated on this device. It could be an issue with your account or perhaps your device was deactivated on nexflix.com (2004)"
Is this a new issue? (or did my spouse forget to pay the bill? )

I had netflix working on Phiremod 6.2 with the "hack".
I got the same message that you're reporting when I tried to upgrade to Phiremod 6.3, but I didn't do a clean install.
I did a complete wipe of the nook and started a fresh install of Phiremod 6.3. I then downloaded Netflix from the market and it worked again.
Idiot me. Once you mentioned datawipe it hit me and I went to manage applications, wiped data and voila, netflix works
Thank you for the nudge in the right direction.
I did have to do the build edit to rid myself of the chipmunks, but I just finished watching a movie before bed

[Q] Using stock android apps

Is there anyway to use the stock (or even the cyanogen modded) stock apps on the DroidX2. I've already tried copying them over to system/app and correcting permissions and even with a reboot, they don't show up.
Does anyone have any suggestions? In particular the stock sms/mms app and the stock calendar application.
Thanks so much
Marshall
the motoblur framework is what ****s it all up
Can't wait to get rid of that crap framework with a custom rom.
I really want custom roms... Like yesterday. Lol
Sent from my DROID X2
We all want custom roms, it be nice, but we need an unlocked bootloader and i have yet to hear of anyone actively working on one for the DX2, so for now we are stuck ..
god i miss my Nexus S
I'm sure once we see an OTA update, we'll have a better chance at unlocking the bastage. At least we have a leaked SBF file to help with those who have bricked. There's more incentive to hacking.
I just downloaded the extended version of the mms app from
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/04/15/download-new-mms-apk-with-custom-settings/
So far, it seems to work other then force closing when trying to change the font size... Hopefully It'll keep on working. It isn't the latest version that comes with cyano 7 but it'll do.
Next is trying to get the extended setting version of the dialer. I think thats going to be much harder to do
Note - The messaging app does work, but it force closes everytime you send a message out, although it does send the message out. DAMN BLUR!
I use a sms/MMS app that I took from a custom ROM about a year ago. I can't stand the MOTOBLUR sms/mms app, and this one looms more like the OG Droid app.

Hi, can you explain how you did that? I tried the one off of the current cyanogenmod 7 and it didn't work, and I tried a much earlier version I found on here, but it would force close after each message it sent.
The good news is that it looks like someone has gotten a custom recovery put on their x2 so developer progress is moving forward.

Link!? Wanting to follow and provide help if possible.
Which stock apps were you referring to ? You should be able to install to /system as long as you change the package name.

I had initially installed the program from my SD card, and that worked fine for the most part. It wasn't until about a week or so ago that it started giving me problems. I finally figured out to actually copy my MMS.apk to the system/app folder and then set the permissions to rw-r-r and then rebooted. This has worked for my X² and my husband's X and now both phones are working beautifully. I used Titanium Backup Pro to freeze the stock Text Messaging so that I don't get duplicate messages.

I got the android default dock app, and the extended messaging app working by taking it from cyanogenmod 6.something
The name of the blur text messaging app is called conversations.apk (took me forever to figure that out... ****ing motorola)
I"m debating about replacing the car dock application.... there are some nice things in the blur version.
What about the default Android Market app??? Has anybody tried that?? I don't want to have to see the verizon crap in my market.... I will try and pull it from a CM rom I have from back in the day, I think its 6 also... and give it a try but any help to point me in the right direction to make this work would be nice...

Netflix Update Kills Video

I wouldn't advise updating the Netflix app. I did yesterday and now I only get audio and no video. I'm running CM7 beta. Can anyone using stock or another rom confirm if yours is working. I saw in the app market comments that others were having problems as well but haven't seen anything over here.
I have stock gingerbread and I don't have any video issues. Although I was getting like a fast forward audio/video thing when I started a movie. It corrected after I stopped and started it. I like it better because they fixed the orientation situation.

Well I guess it's a cm7 problem like the HBO to Go app. Damn, I love the rom but this needs to be fixed. Hopefully I can flash a backup to get it going again.
yup i had the same issues. i just re-installed a backup of 1.4.0 and it works fine again.
Well, I did a cwm restore from a backup I did 2 days ago. I opened netflix and gave me an error about my device being deactivated, I just clicked through the ok's and it logged me out. I logged back in and all was well. Also, after reviewing the bug reports on CM7, I came across an interesting fix that may work for plex, I'll post the link below in the hopes that it will help somebody.

No I didn't. Didn't work on hbo to go. Figured out it was a work around for plex only. The settings are found within plex I believe.

GTA III

It is supposed to be released today on all mobile devices at $4.99 US. The photon is one of the supported devices. When it shows up for purchase I will be getting it

Just got it, I;m downloading right now
Well? how is it?
Hmmm, says its incompatible with all my devices...
Its running. Fine on my mopho and my 3d. .....

Running great on my MoPho and I/O gtab. You can go to the market on you computer and send it to your MoPho , that's what worked for me
photon with cm7
The game started up and downloaded the extra files but now it wont display anything then force closes. I'm running cm7 with the new 1.4 oc kernel. Any ideas?
So i uninstaled and reinstalled the game and works perfect now. I remember the first time downloading the extra files there was an error of some kind. No error on second try tho and works great.
I first had a problem where my internal storage was full but instead of saying so while trying to download the extra files, it just says no internet connection could be found. After clearing up that issue, the extra files downloaded but I am met with a black screen upon running the app. If I press the back button a message appears on the screen asking me press back once more to quit. I restarted my phone and it did not help. I cleared the app data and I'm currently downloading the files again.
Unrooted Stock Photon with all updates.
*Edit* Someone in the below thread said their issues were resolved by installing over wifi instead of 3G, which is what I have been trying. I will try installing over wifi tonight.

looks surprisingly well, controls are pretty good, although when driving the car the left and right steer are really sensitive but i didnt really mess around with the settings yet but looks 10 times better than it did on my ps2 when it came out. a classic
The game runs great for me, running rooted/unlocked CM7, but I'm having issues with the sound - not getting any at all. Anyone else have that issue?
anyone know what to use for wiimote controls?

Nope, used a link to get to the app page in the market and it gives me the same incompatible message.
For whatever it's potentially worth for other problems, I solved my sound issue by simply uninstalling, re-downloading, and reinstalling the game. I assume some file containing the audio quietly failed to get properly downloaded.
if you are using jokers skinnyrev2test2, you wont be able to see it on the market however once you change rom's ( to lets say cm7 ) the market will see it just fine..
