Amazon Video App working on Prime? - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Has anyone got the Amazon video app working on their Prime? I installed the apk from another thread on XDA. It installs fine but when I click on a video it says "Unfortunately Amazon Video has stopped."

the only amazon app i found in the market on my prime was mp3, so im assuming the other amazon apps dont work, i been trying to get amazon shopping to show up

It isn't in the market. I'm talking about the Amazon Video app taken from the Kindle Fire which is reportedly working on other tablets as long as they are not rooted. The apk is available in several other threads on XDA including for the Nook. It would be very cool especially for people with Prime to get this app working on the Prime. My guess is it worked on the Prime on HC but not ICS. I didn't try it on HC before I upgraded to be sure though.

doesn't work here either

I wasn't able to get it working on mine either. I was able to sign in and everything, but any time I click a video I get an error. I don't see why this app is exclusive to the kindle in the first place. It really limits their sales.

I haven't tried it myself, but I seem to recall reading a thread that stated that you could watch movies via the browser just fine.

I got it working on a rooted kindle by using voodoo to temporarily unroot.

But not running ICS I presume? My understanding is it will not work on unrooted or ICS devices.

blockbuster app working on unrooted 1.2.6
Hi i was actually i think the first to the the blockbuster app working on my Atrix. i was on stock 1.2.6 unrooted and i was able to watch ondemand blockbuster movies, they sent me 3 $5 credits twords future rentals, used one to try it out and worked great, signing up on the actual site was kinda confusing but not that bad. but back to the point, i just today used the gladix program, to root, and now it says it says "detected device rooted" cannot play certian types of video(dont know what that is , or means). havent tried renting yet with root.
Can't download movies if are rooted - we think

I think that if the Blockbuster site detects that you have rooted your phone, it won't allow you to download the movies. I read about someone who rooted and then unrooted before the first update, and Blockbuster still gave him that message. Movies would not download. However, after this 2nd update for the Atrix software, he no longer got that message, and the movies did download. He wasn't rooted again, though.
Movies don't play over HDMI cable?
I'm not rooted and did download a movie from Blockbuster to try it out. Rather than watch in on my phone, though, I wanted to use the HDMI cable to watch it on the TV screen. However, I got an error message and the movie would not play.
Has anyone else experienced this? Are they only allowing the viewing on the handset itself?
That doesn't seem fair, if you paid for the movie. What is the HDMI cable for, anyway? If I download a movie to my computer, I can use an HDMI cable to show the movie on the TV. Shouldn't this be the same?
Could someone post the apk, please? I've got a BB account and wanted to throw the app on my captivate. The market link above results in an error.
Horray for ginger bread!
anyone ever find a good source for this apk ?

They're afraid rooted devices can pirate the movies. Like they said it wont play through the market but.....hey have you checked YouTube lately.....

Well, it's a DCMA restriction to prevent piracy... so unless they bring in some heavy DRM protection, rooted devices won't be able to play movies through the market.
Quoted from Google Support:
Playback not supported on rooted devices (Error 49)
We do not support playback on rooted devices for copyright protection reasons. You can enjoy your movie on a different device, or on your computer at market.android.com/movies, or on youtube.com/movies if you have a YouTube account.

Is anyone else having issues with the Market on VeganTab Gingerbread version 7. My wifes table is running that. When I launch the Market, it crashes after 6 or so seconds. I removed the update, and it worked for 30 seconds, but then I guess it repushed it self and then crashes again. Tried clearing cache, and all that jazz, but seems like the new version of market isn't working any longer
Are people having issues with Vegan Tab 5.1.
Thanks for any advise or comments

Amazon Video APK

The Amazon Instant Video APK has been pulled from the Kindle Fire and can be installed on the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
A couple of caveats:
(1) To use the Prime Instant video features, you must first purchase something to login. There is no separate login otherwise.
(2) It appears to only work over wifi
(3) If your device is rooted, it will not work.

Umm...for the simple fact that you can use Voodoo OTA temp unroot from the Market. Also the new version of this APK in todays 6.2 update doesnt work. It says this device is not suppose to be able to run Amazon Video Player.
I assume Amazon is cracking down...

Never heard of temp unroot, thanks, but yeah, as of late, amazon released a fire update, ruining everyones root on the fire and deleting the market. Probably part of that updated.
Pr0tip: This works on Gingerbread but not on HoneyComb.
Bunch of hypocrites, they sell root only apps
http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/some_amazon_appstore_apps_require_rooting_att_need_not_apply/
installs and runs great on hp touchpad. however on purchase and login i get the following: Error linking device: Unknown error
What do you mean it runs great? I get to the point of seeing the button to play the video, but it is grayed out. I can play Amazon videos fine on my Exhibit II by temporarily unrooting the stock OS. It seems Cyanogenmod is somehow detected, because it doesn't work on my Nook Color with the Cyanogenmod either.

whoever wrote this article obviously has never had the balls to root a device and actually see what is possible, or even research it for that matter
I have the apk that allows me to play the videos for free that come with the amazon prime account (I signed up for a free month), but I don't see how to 'borrow' a book for free - this also comes with the prime account on kindle devices. Anyone have any information on how to do this on a Galaxy Tab?
Only Kindle devices can borrow books for free with the Prime membership. (you borrow directly from the device)
Two things. One KFHD looks for the device to be logged into amazon, I bet this requires framework not on our devices. Two, probably crashes when trying to view due to same.
Bottom line? Besides logcats to figure things out, I'm pretty sure a system dump will be needed to get the correct files to go with this......

You don't need to temp in root either. There's an xposed module called root cloak that let's you pick specific apps to hide root from. Works great

Hbo on Nook Tablet

I was able to side load Hbo on the nook tab and kindle fire but cant get it to work on the nook! It works great on the fire! Any ideas how how to get it to work?
What does "can't get it to work" mean? Does it give an error? Does it not install?...
Edit: Just fired up HBO go, it starts to play then hangs with black screen and "HBO GO" logo in the center.

Same here! Works the K fire! Might just keep the fire instead of the Nook!

anyone know when/if this will be resolved?
why no hbogo
Apparently the problem lies in the stock browser on the Nook Tablet...you can't sign in through this (or other NT available ) browser(s). For example you can't sign in using the Dolphin browser either. I have not rooted yet but have hopes once I do I can get in through opera mini or some other browser as I understand the Hbogo market app hangs on the tablet. Hope this helps...anyone rooted and tried other browsers or does the market app work when rooted as opposed to side loaded?
Got a rooted Nook with a Droid3 build prop and the HBO Go app from the market works great.

Hmm. Well, I've found that some apps just don't work all that well on the version of Android that comes with the Nook Tablet. I've been running a super-early alpha of CyanogenMod 7 for a while though and some apps that never worked on the stock OS work just fine now.
If you're willing to flash CyanogenMod 7 to your Nook Tablet, there's a ROM/Release that's very likely coming next week (you can read a bit about it in the development forum). Right now there's nothing available, but what's coming is looking very promising. You also wouldn't have to sideload it in CM7 - you'd be able to install direct from the Android Market.
I have my build.prop set to nexus s and HBO Go works flawless. I think you need to mod your build prop for it to work.

Sims Freeplay unavailable

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if you guys are also getting the Sims free play as unavailable in the play store.
I had it on my tablet before updating to .21 from a fresh .15 zip but didn't reinstall it since. Today I wanted to install it again but now i can't find it in the store and on the website version it says unavailable for your device. I did notice it got an update on 6 April but it seems weird to me to make less devices supported. Anyone knows what sup? I've googled around but there wasn't anything to find on it.

I had it already installed and received today an update. I just tried it and the game is working good. Dont know why would they have changed compatibility.
Have you tried Market Enabler?
I currently have no root.
Also my desire is unsupported.

Acording to Titanium Backup, the version I uploaded is 1.1.5. I tried to update it, but shows now as no compatible with my Prime. Ill try to get it on my Defy and see if it works
Thanks, Zephyrot - appreciate it!
I've found that while playing Sims Freeplay on my Prime, that everytime the game looses focus it will crash without fail. I guess that is the reason it isn't currently compatible with the Prime.
It plays fine on my GalaxyS which is where I copied it from to my Prime. Although it does get a bit slugish on the phone.
Tested it, and indeed, if the game lose focus it will crash once you go back.
I have not tried the new 1.2.3 version yet, but the 1.1 that I uploaded before does this.
Here is the link for the newer 1.2.3
I have that version already installed and it does still crash when it looses focus
Any idea how to get the game working again after it crashes? Every time I try to start the game now, it crashes after loading what looks like an ad for the latest update, which is weird. I got past the crash point once by restarting the TFP, but that hasn't worked again.

That's fantastic! I can't thank you enough, Zephyrot. For some reason other apk updates I found just install alongside my game rather than updating (giving me 2 versions but data not copied across). But, your worked perfectly

What seems to work for me is to turn off the wifi after the game does it's first server content check then turn it back on after it tells me I need an I an internet connection to play. Click on retry quickly when you turn the wifi back on. I still occasionally get the add pop up but not as often.
Not really sure if this will work for you though but probably worth a shot.

That works for me to. Have to turn off your wifi start the game and wait for it to mention no internet connection, then turn on the wifi again and hit retry. This method also works if you get the ad up that crashes the game.
Hi,
Anyone would have a recent apk for the Sims freeplay ? I'd like to try on my TF700T, but store says it(s not compatible with my tranformer infinity.
And the link in previous posts is active but tough to download (server always busy.. unless I pay)
