Is anyone using the Watch ESPN app having problems with the video coming in? it almost looks like a digital TV with bad reception. hard to explain. let me know. Thanks
i dunno, how bout you hook me up with your service provider, name and password? jp
****ty that comcast doesn't work for me... i even tried hitting direct TV and U-Verse and neither work... what the heck does!? lol
I'm having the same issue on my Evo 3D, I haven't used the in the past few days on the old Evo, but yes on the Evo 3D it looks as if the live feed from ESPN is breaking up with all those lines. At first I thought it was just a problem with ESPN, then I tried ESPN 2, ESPN U and various feeds of ESPN 3, and they're all like that. All other streaming video is fine. Must be a problem with the app.
havent used it on the 3d but its been working great on my view tablet. no grainy picture or pixelation issues.
Yeah, I just checked mine and it does the same (with the white lines)
I hope there's a fix in the works.
glad its not only me then, But yeah its weird. Sometimes for a few seconds its perfectly clear, then it gets those odd lines breaking up the picture..
Yep, you're not alone, mine does the same thing... lines going in and out, making it annoying to watch.

I just uninstalled and reinstalled adobe air but still have the same problem...
also did you install adobe air first? then install the espn watch app? or did you let the espn watch install adobe air automatically for you?
When I first installed ESPN watch it told me I had to have adobe air installed and I proceeded to have the Watch installer install it for me.
@ kingakuma , could you let us know what you had to do to get this to work correctly? seems like your the only one that its working fine for on the evo3d. Thanks

I have the same issue on my EVO 3D. It appears to be an EVO 3d issue to me though, I have the same app on my ASUS transformer and it works flawlessly.

what version of android is on the transformer?
not sure if Adobe Flash had anything to do with it.
But i installed Adobe Flash first
Then i installed Watchespn and let it install Adobe Air.
:Edit:
As of today im getting and ERROR cannot Retrieve Config and the wheel just spins
Where did you get the espn watch?
Nevermind, It doesn't show in the market unless you spell it as WatchESPN
still not working, wish they would update the app..
It worked on the original EVO for me, but on the 3D, it just sits at the loading screen.
looks like all the comments about the watchespn app not working on the Evo3d have been removed from the android market. I think there were about 20 or so...

I've packaged up the APK into an easy little installer that takes about 5 seconds.
Have fun!
EDIT: This was pulled from an LG Revolution dump. It doesn't allow you to play anything streaming yet. But it does allow for everything else.
Sooo close!
I got really excited when I saw this. Can't wait till its all ironed out and ready to go.
Thanks for this! Can't wait until we can get streaming, and also Hulu Plus for that matter. Down with traditional cable!
Cant wait til I can actually stream lol
Is this new? Its been leaked for about a week or more and I already installed it. I really thought this was a working version and was pretty happy.

The original post from this discussion was from a week ago. Someone just commented and bumped it.
Might be a stupid question. But do you have to pay for these movies?
If yes, why not just use the regular Netflix service.
Never live in the past but always learn from it.

If you have a Netflix account then you can stream "Watch Instantly" movies over the phone, just like you can on the computer or Roku box.
i thought the deal was that you'd need a phone with the right drm capabilities before being allowed to stream? Not saying it won't get hacked for other phones, but i'm a little skeptical that we'll be able to just pull an apk and get streaming.
Just downloaded and tried it with my Atrix and Netflix account. Streaming is allowed and videos start to load, but after a few seconds screen goes white, then flashes back to Netflix main page.

Streaming is not allowed. The app hasn't even gone official yet. The app is trying to stream but it can't because it's not enabled yet.

Does anyone have the Sprint TV apk from the 3VO? It's SO much better than the one on the Evo 4G.
I know, most of you will say with Netflix, Hulu hacks, torrent downloaders, etc, why the hell would you want Sprint TV, but I love sprint TV. ESPN mobile has a lot of live sporting events, like Wimbledon, and World Cup Soccer. Plus you can get a lot of the shows from major networks.
Anyway, I realize it probably won't function on the Evo 4G, but I wanted to take a crack at it anyway.
Thanks to anyone that can post it. PM me if you throw it up here.
not sure if this'll work tho might be needing other parts

This was a good start. It installed just fine, but when I try to start the app, it says an update is available.
I pulled Sprint_InstallerNC_v2_1_0.apk from the system dump for the 3vo, and installed that. That would let me download the update, but I get an error when it tries to install the update.
Any chance you have updated Sprint TV on your 3vo already, and if so, what would be the possibility of pulling the updated APK off? Thanks again!
So where do we go to complain that sprint tv (among other apps) wont allow rotating so the charger is on the TOP of the phone instead of the bottom??

I just gave GTA III a quick spin on the rezound and was pleasantly surprised. The rezound runs it with such ease and they really did a great job with the controls. It's still hard to wrap my mind around being able to play such a massive game on my phone. This game will be definitely taking up a lot of my free time over the coming weeks.
I can't wait to pick it up. Also, Sonic CD came out today. That was pretty much the last game I expected on a phone. You have no idea how excited I was lol. I saw it on AC and I exclaimed "what the ****? Hell yeah!"
I haven't gotten a chance to try out sonic cd yet but I'm pretty blown away with the number of awesome games hitting the android Market, and I'm pumped that I have a phone that will be able to run them all so easily.
played GTA 3 tonight and it works very well. Was suprised how fast the loads are. My accelerometer was acting wonky though so driving was a pain. Car would pull all the way to the left with accelerometer on. Going to try a soft reset and give it another go.

I too tried GTA3 tonight and was also surprised at how well it ran. I'd like to see some of my other favorite games coverted over as well. The rezound has better gaming performance than I expected.
How did you guys download this? The market keeps telling me my phone is not compatible.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
You shouldn't have any issues downloading it from the market with the Rezound since it's compatible.. but if you are for some strange reason you can always log into the market in your internet browser and download it from there, you just select your device and it should start downloading to your device within minutes
I'm not having any luck. It definitely says it is not compatible with the rezound. Anyone have any ideas why this is happening or how to fix it?

I've had the same issues with the accelerometer, when I turn it on in GTA III it forces my car to turn left. Luckily the game isn't dependent on using the accelerometer because if it was it wouldn't be playable

I'm not sure it's the phone. I have other games that are dependent on the accelerometer and they work fine. I just tried to use it on this game, though, and it turned left constantly.
yeah, it says incompatible with my devices (incredible and rezound) wtF?
I am pissed I went to buy it today and it won't let me. Even though it is compatible with the rezound

I have noticed that on pretty much every Rom HTC Watch asks to update, but the update finds nothing new. Has anyone found a solution for this problem?
Well they had released an update for htc watch a month or two ago, but to get the update u have to be stock. Maybe has somethin to do with it idk, just a thought

cant you just freeze or remove your htc update or whatever htc utilizes for updates?
I did that with the moto stuff on my dx, saved me from 621 hell.
use TB and freeze it.
Yeah just uninstall that junkware... It's no good anyway. #netflix #huluplus

Well, the thing is I use HTC Watch. Tmobile actually gives you a $10 credit with the phone. It's not bad actually and I was just hoping someone had a solution for it. At most I found a workaround by using the widget instead of the app icon itself. It's not the best workaround, but it does the job so far. Anyone else notice this problem though?
Yeah, I'm having the same problem and I'm on stock rom. so, it's a problem on htc's side...

Same issue here.
Started using my EVO 3D again a few weeks ago when HTC Watch had the .05 cent weekend movies. So for the past few weeks i have been renting and watching and yesterday i got a notification for an update for HTC Watch. However when i click OK it takes me to HTC Software Updates, when i click check for update No Updates are found.
Essentially making my Watch useless.
The only work around i found was to create the full page widget and select my movies there.
I have an EVO 3D GSM and what I did to fix the issue was this:
dial *#*#682#*#* (the dial pad disappears and you see your up/down arrows for your data signal light up) and the phone automatically tries to do a software look up with HTC. It told me that I have a HTC Watch update. I downloaded it and it finally installed correctly.

Update: So apparently this has been cracked by HBOTroll1, all thanks to him. You can find his thread here. Unfortunately I have dumped my photon because of Motorola's failed promises. It was a great phone but I will never again by from this company. I also do not have HBO GO anymore because of this issue but I might get it again to try this apk. I am reposting a direct link to the apk here.
This has been confirmed to work on the Photon by others. Also if you have an MHL device to try this on that would be appreciated. I am not sure if MHL is a problem to begin with though...
Disclaimer: To my extremely limited knowledge reposting this does not violate any copyright laws, which is not my intention. My belief is that this is a lack of functionality in the program which has been fixed in this apk. If such is not the case, HBO please contact me so we can discuss this error in your program.
MinceMan said:
I just got HBO GO, I know Game of Thrones is f*****g awesome as **** *** *****!!!!
Anywhoo... I tried plugging the photon into my tv as the PS3 does not yet have an app and HBO GO refuses to play video with the HDMI plugged into it. Does anyone know any way to stop the app or the system of realizing that the signal is being sent out?
I would be willing to put in a lot of effort into getting this hack to work but I don't even know where to start. So any advice would rock!
RANT: I know they have a reason for disabling this but for realz I can just torrent their shows so when I'm paying I'm not going to try and rip off their stuff. I mean there's a reason that I'm paying!
RANT EXTENDED: I hate all of this DRM like bullsh!t that makes it more difficult to be a paying customer then a priate. I mean you can just go to isohunt or thepiratebay and search for game of thrones 720p. Then download the playstation media server and install the extra codecs and whatnot they recomend. This will let your computer transcode the video files so that the ps3 can output the video over your network. Wifi N can handle the video great and plug in a hundred foot Ethernet cable for $13 and get beautiful streaming with 5.1 surround sound.

Unfortunately I don't think there is any kind of workaround for this. I remember having the same issue. Think I tried running HBO from browser in Webtop mode but can't remember if it just didn't work or if it worked and the video was bad quality.
Probably better off downloading vid from the net and installing to view locally.
what we need is to get our hands on the earlier version of the app
I've heard people report it USED to work using a combination of the first release of the app and something called Xternal Display (which just mirrors the image on the screen.)
I know sprint t.v doesn't work either on HDMI out using stock mopho .

I can't believe you're brave enough to use isohunt and piratebay. Those are the two most well known trackers that get people busted.

I'm guessing that it check the version number and would want you to update. Though if anyone has an older apk I would love to try this out!
I have version 1.3.1, I just installed version 1.7.1 and installed this version and it still plays fine, haven't tried hdmi out using version 1.3.1 yet. But I'll upload it tomorrow, I'm away from my computer right now
I got it working perfectly
I used splashtop on my Macbook which also works on PC to get it working everytime without fail. I have a video on youtube that shows me doing it but I am a newb so I can't post link. lol
sorry everybody, i thought the thread was dead but here is the hbogo 1.3.1 apk, just fyi it gives out the original error message saying that there is something wrong, not the new one stating the program doesn't allow hdmi out.
