[Q] Browser: Change Touchpad Browser Identity - TouchPad General

Wanted to see if anyone else thought of this, but I noticed that youtube app is really a shortcut to the site via the browser. Also went to Stormpulse.com and it did a great job displaying the flash.
Of course Hulu.com said the browser isnt compatiable which brings me to ask if anyone figured out how to change the browser type from whatever it is now to say Internet Explorer 8?
I bet that hulu will work great on it!

There's a patch for that. It's in preware.

Certain flash videos won't play on websites.
I wonder if the website recognize it as a mobile device and stops playing the video. If so, can that be changed?

which websites?

pron sites! lol... well not really, tried it and it recognizes it as a mobile device.

did you try the hulu trick? (that makes adobe flashplayer identifies itself as windows instead of a mobile device)

I find looking at pron sites and holding a tablet to be awkward. Someone needs to invent some sort of leg mounted tablet holding device...
My real point is that I agree that you need to be able to change the identifier. For instance, google reader displays the desktop page when I REALLY want it to display the mobile page. The mobile page is way better for reading headlines. I'm baffled though because on my DesireHD it displays the mobile page but not on the tablet. However both browsers are webkit based.

[Q] Can you open pdf files and play netflix

These are two things I could never do on my vibrant, so I'm always taking my wifes iphone to do to do them. Will the s2 be capable of this. Dont want an iphone but these are pretty big for me.
My galaxy s could open pdf just fine using think free office, (which came pre installed from samsung) but was also freely available in the market.
The sgs2 comes with polaris office, which works just as well.
Hmmm my problem was emails mostly, I could never open the attachments, does it work for that
Automatically, I click on preview attachment button, it downloads it and then up pops think free to view the attachment.

you click the attachment, it downloads and opens with your pdf viewing app. You can do that with any android phone that supports to app to my knowledge
No Netflix I'm afraid and I doubt it'll be coming any time soon as Qualcomm have it as an exclusive for their snapdragon handsets which is allegedly because of DRM.

why would netflix do that.. right now the only thing stopping me from getting a netflix account is that i cant use it on my phone..isnt there some sort of port for it to work on regular phones?
Adobe reader works just fine for PDF files. and its free. Download from the market place.

[Q]How to Stream Anime on SGA?

are there any applications or internet sites where in our lovely ace could stream anime?
Ive been searching for applications in the market however all i got which are currently working are Veoh and Crunchyroll but they have small range of anime to choose from...
also ive been going into websites using Ace to stream anime like in crunchyroll, animecrazy.net etc.. however the quality i always get are laggy, and it states that the video isnt for mobile streaming, though i tried the lowest quality the results are still the same.. i though that Ace could support 480p videoplayback?
Never been able to find that out myself
I use crunchyroll for anime mostly, got no other choice..
There's a way which works for me all time. Just check out for samsix56 tutorial

Just install flash player and then you are able to view any anime on internet. You can get it under the apps and themes section here on xda.
Like me if you liked
I prefere www.eastanime.com
1st one http://anime4iphone.com/ (better IMO)
2nd one http://iphoneanime.net/
I know, this is android forum but those two works like a charm.

No Hulu Support? EDIT: POSSIBLE FIX

Surely someone knows how to view HULU from the Tab? I saw the apk for Plus users... what about those who are not plus users?
What are you doing to watch on your Tab?
Seems crazy to me....
EDIT.....
Thanks to the below two posts I did some searching and found the DroidLu developer came out with this app:
FLASH VIDEO BROWSER
Testing it out soon....
I use PlayOn as my workaround...good luck with your search.

PlayOn seems interesting... is it worth the $50 fee for life? It is basically just a server so my ps3 and phone could see what the computer is playing right?

Better off with splashtop as it allows you more control of your home pc so you watch hulu, watch movies stored on your pc and also play some of your pc games...remotely
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
That is encouraging to hear... I got Splashtop when it was the free app on Amazon... never even opened or installed it. I will explore that tonight.
The app I put in the OP works.... you can see Hulu... but it is not prime time. Lots of hiccups.
Looks like flash browser was updated. Supports ics. Still doesn't play well with cm.

[Q] Hot to get Google+ videos to play in the Google+ app?

I just got my EVO LTE a few days ago, so I haven't gotten around to rooting it yet.
On my original EVO 4G, when I click on a video in the Google+ app, the video plays IN THE APP!
On this phone, it opens a web browser and takes me to the Google+ site where the video is located. And once I'm there, the video's wont play!!! Flash is installed and up to date.
I thought a file association dialogue was supposed to open and ask me which app I wanted to play the video? Is there any way short of rooting (which I don't want to do for at least several more days)??? I changed the association from the default browser to Chrome beta, but Chrome can't play the video's either.
In app associations, there is something called, "streaming link", but the only option to choose is "Streaming Media Player". That's apparently not playing them either.
Thanks.
The same thing happens to me when I click to play a youtube video.

Its because of the Apple patent. There is a mod to fix that in the development section.

Are you talking about the mod that requires root? Because I specifically asked for a way to get the app to do this without root.
I will search the dev section in the hopes you understood that.

I might be, not sure if it requires root but it probably does. Sorry, I never look for root requirements because I am always rooted.

So why then do these videos not even play in a browser? It's bad enough they don't play directly in google+, but they don't even play in the browser that opens when you click on the video!
I don't think that is because of the Apple thing.
same thing happened to me. I downloaeded MX player from the market and instaaled it. Somehow the problem is gone. I restored back the Google Video play and ask me wich player I want to chose from. Both work perfect now.
Well, I broke down and rooted today. Couldn't take it anymore.
In other news, I see Apple decided to finally update their stuff to state of the art 2010. You go, Apple!
Oh, and don't forget to file a lawsuit against Google for stealing your map idea.

Mod suggestion: picture in picture

I was messing around with my buddy galaxy s3 and I noticed they can do this picture in picture kind of thing where they can minimize the video and still use other functions on their phone. I was wondering if anyone can implement this mod in their room or even make it available for the EVO.

? you mean minimize a playing video and have it still play in the background? or be recording a video and then minimize while recording to do something else? im not quite sure what you are trying to get at here haha think you can find an example somewhere?
Watching video and minimize it
Sent from the euphoric state of my mind
or maybe he means this? i can do this with my computer monitor but it requires 2 different sources for video. so i can have my computer video full screen (via a dvi connection) but then have lets say a xbox playing in a small corner at the top through a different cable such as hdmi. looks something like this

just follow the link i posted on the from the market and you'll find the app that will let you do the video minimizing option...you can watch a video while texting or even browsing on the internet

No I believe he is talking about the "Pop-up Play" feature that the GS III introduced that lets you play a video, minimize it to do other stuff like text and browse while the video is still playing in a smaller "picture-in-picture" window like seen here. luisrod03 was also correct. Here is another app that let's you do the same thing but it isn't free like luisrod03's link.
Yes the app let me do what I was trying to do... I wanted to view a video while texting and doing things on the phone... Also when u tap on it it will go back to full screen but I do like that super app though
