Is there a way to make it work on the gs2? I copied the apk from my infuse but says it can't connect to server, something like that. I got Netflix app working great but now I need this.
Thanks
I even went further then you did. I signed up for a Media Hub account using a Droid Charge at Costco. Then Media Hub on my SGS2 lets me sign-in, store credit cards, and shop but won't let me buy anything. I'm sure it'll be on the U.S. variants so maybe we'll have better luck then.

I found the Media Hub APK on one of the other Samsung XDA forums and installed it. It wouldn't let me do anything. I used the Droid Charge to set up an account. Media Hub on my SGS2 recognized the account I already set up. It still won't let me buy anything though. Samsung Movies from the UK is pretty cool too. It won't let us buy anything because it recognizes the phone's outside the UK. We're orphans.
That worked! Got the right apk and its all good, thanks!

You are able to access previously downloaded media and purchase new? Like some of the others I can browse but can't purchase... I was set up previously on the Charge and Infuse and already have paid for movies that I cannot access on the SGS2.
hey, where you able to purchase and download movies? This one is a deal breaker for me.

Consider the deal broken. I think the Samsung servers are reading something off the phone and can tell it's not a valid device. Maybe one of the devs can figure out what data that is and spoof it. If not we're out of luck. Maybe things will change once the U.S. variants start to roll-out and we can install their APK.
Has anyone managed to find a solution for this? It seems odd that the AT&T branded S2 has this built in but those of us using the international S2 are locked out. Has anyone managed to edit the apk?

Has anybody experienced this problem or know of a fix?
I found a disclaimer stating this app will not download correctly on Galaxy S and HTC Desire handsets, at the moment. It's something to do with the fact that it downloads directly to the SD card due to it's size, coupled with the strange way Galaxy S handles memory partitions. Sorry.
Oww, thats too bad. Is there a way I can buy it and restore a titanium backup version of it from another device? It won't let me purchase it.

Maybe. I'm not sure how app/device authentication happens. Otherwise you could take any paid app and put it on multiple devices, which is stealing. I know you aren't but that limitation might stand in your way.

good day.
hate to revive an old thread, but for anyone else having this problem, try the amazon app store. for some reason the official google app store wouldn't let me buy this game with my samsung captivate, but the android store had no problems with it.
Just a reminder to those like myself who typically leave the paperwork in the box. There's a $25 media hub voucher good for buying various tv shows on the Samsung Media Hub app, many of which you own forever. It's a free credit and it expires 1/1/2012. Actually the expiration depends on when you activate it. It appears to be 90 days out...
So use that thing!!
[EDIT] Sorry, missed the part about being only for TV shows.
Ha, I just went through the box and found it accidentally.

Mine isn't greyed out. I don't feel like buying any movies, I download everything, newsgroups and verizon fios=epic. So I don't even feel like downloading anything. If I could just figure out how to transfer massive bluray files onto my phone/sd card...that would be awesome.
Movies are not grayed out for me either. I haven't tried buying any, but it does prompt me for a code. Tested on about five using rent and buy.
And yeah, I download all of my movies/TV for free . Fios FTW!
Too bad it expires. It would be nice if I could add it to my account and keep it available in case I'm on the road and missed a show and want to watch it quickly. Oh well, I guess I'll find something to buy in the next few months.
Also, Samsung had a web signup form for people who purchased their devices and want the $25 credit. I wonder if I'll get another one since I signed up.
Totally missed this. Excellent -- I'll hold off on uninstalling Media Hub (for now).
Movies won't be greyed out. The gift card will be and you won't be able to choose it as payment option when purchasing movies.

Yes, wi-fi is everywhere.
Didn't know about the network restriction requiring wifi only. I was a bit curious why the $25 voucher said, as step 1, to make sure you were on wifi. Probably some deal they brokered with AT&T. Damn them. It makes no sense since the devices already support streaming media. But my earlier comment was more along the lines of being away for business, or vacation, etc. and wanted to catch a show I missed.
One of the reasons I bought this was for the tethering ability (for my Galaxy Tab 8.9). Since it too has Media Hub, and would connect to the GS2 using wifi, I bet that I could download the movie/show on it using the phone's 3G. Might have to test this out later tonight...

With the $25 credit, you can only rent/buy TV shows. You have to be on wifi to download anything. Going to download and watch some shows then remove Media Hub.
I see what you mean now.. at first I thought it was grey out at the movie page.. then it was actually grey out at the purchase page.. only TV shows.. argh.. so hard to spend the $25 then.
Yes sorry i wasnt more clear. You can only use it for tv shows. I downloaded the charlie sheen roast from comedy central and saturday night live since they are all an hour long and the only thing i find worth it.

I came from a windows phone, and microsoft has that feature enabled for all their phones just by going to windowsphone.com and signing in with your live id. and before that, on windows mobile, i had my phone setup with creeper and it got stolen and i wiped it remotely but before i wiped it, i sent it a couple texts telling the thief where he was and that if he didn't return it i was going to call the police. the next morning the phone was sitting on my desk...
I used that Windows phone feature to locate/spy on my kids iDevices have the similar functionality. Not sure why Google left this one out?
DIVE was left out of the i-717 because AT&T offers their own called Mobile Locate and surprise...they charge for it! It is an add-on to the phone insurance.

Really, no love Cerberus?
You can snap pictures from the website control panel with the phone's front camera and have them emailed to you, or record audio from the mic and send that.
You can make it so any SIM put in the phone that isn't the current SIM will only call a phone number you specify.
You can wipe whatever you want from remotely and track the exact location of your phone at all times.
It is AMAZING!

Cerberus is one of the first things I install on a new phone. If you are rooted you can install it into the rom and it will survive factory reset. It blows away anything else out there right now. You can record audio, video, have it call a number, take a picture, snap a screenshot. Remote lock / wipe. It is just amazing.

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'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.

Without gear manager nothing works. It has to be setup using gear manager. If you know someone with a Samsung phone that is compatible with gear s you could get it going but it's complicated. I have a note 3 but like my Nokia 1520 phone. I am struggling trying to get it to work the way I want it to with the Nokia. So needless to say I'm using my Note 3 at the moment because I like the gear s so much.

Right it's like buying an Ipad(at least the old ones) where at least once you need to install itunes and connect to a PC.
You need Gear manager at least to start. Then you need it if you want to install anything new.

I have a SGS5 and she had a Nexus 5. I figured I could set up both watches with my phone... the problem is when switching devices it FACTORY RESETS every time. So 1 watch per phone
I ended up buying her a Galaxy Avant as well as it was the cheapest way I could find for her to run her watch.
Kinda lame but she's happy so m'eh.

I have an old samsung S3 which I used to pair the phone with. I bought a one plus one but in the end it just doesn't work with the one plus one.
There is a way also to be found here on the dxa forum to pass by a samsung and download the gear on any other android phone but this doesn't work a 100% either.
It's a bitc**** but in the end to get the most out of the watch is to do it with a samsung mobile which runs 4.3 and up.
I'm planning to build a site only with info for the Gear -S it's called www . gear-s.info and I hope to gather info of all the different places to get one proper library with info over the gear.
The phone looks great and has a real big X factor but there are still some downsides as well to it. One big issue is that it runs on Tizen and in a smartwatch world with all but the Gear's running on androidware it makes the development of apps for the Gears not a big priority with people.
Another thing I can not understand is that Samsung undermining their own sales by having the Gears only work with Samsung. Sales could triple if you would be able to run the gear manager on any other android machine.
I find Samsung getting more and more like Apple, at one point you need to buy everything from Samsung to communicate between the different mobile devices.
The problem is that they do really make nice things but it would make live a lot easier if they op the market to other mobile IOS and brands.
I do love the people on the XDA forums, the way they discover things and help people, their patience yep, they are great.
I'm going to try to find a way to get whatsapp on the gear S.
Good luck
