[Q] Hulu+ on Rooted Devices - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know how to get around the "Required DRM not supported" warning on the new Hulu+ app? I assume is due to my device being rooted, since rooting tends to freak content providers out over DRM. Somewhat ironically, the old, moded version that I installed due to my device being unsupported still works, though I would like the updated version. I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus with LiquidSmooth 1.5 installed - could flashing another ROM or returning to stock (but still rooted) help solve the issue?
For those of you think you are suffering from deja vu, I did also post this on Android Central and The Verge.
EDIT: I tried unrooting (without changing ROMs), and it is still not working.

I contacted hulu about the issue. This was their reply:
"Thanks for getting in touch. I'm sorry, but it's not an issue that we're working to resolve. Because of our security licenses, we're not allowed to stream to rooted devices.
I apologize for the inconvenience, but if there's anything else I can help you with, please let me know.
Thanks,
Bernie
Hulu Support"
Could you possibly provide the old apk that works? Or point me to where I may find it?

Where's my water ??

I bought this game around 1 month ago. It was a great game i love it very much.
But now I cant find it in my tab's market anymore and when I use web android market it show that it's no longer supported for galaxy tab 10.1.
Anyone played this game and encounter this problem ? Thanks.
It's still on the Amazon Appstore as the #1 game as of yesterday.

Working and updating ok on my tab
This seems to be affecting many varieties of tablet.... I'm wondering if it's to do with the new requirement for WAP access, which I assume wouldn't be available on wifi only tablets. I came upon another thread discussing the WAP issue, where the game developers had replied and said that those permissions were getting removed again, and I've mentioned the tablet compatibility problem there. The thread is:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22039480&posted=1#post22039480
I am using wifi+3G version P7500 tab. so i guess is not the problem. does it have anything to do with updating market in my tab??
is there anyway to fake market into other device ?
I don't think you can fake it unless your device is rooted. I also don't think your market update is the problem, since you see the same error going via the website.
A developer replied to my post on the other thread and said WAP permissions required actual telephony hardware, and that this was causing the problems with some tablets, so it may not matter so much about 3G versus wifi, perhaps it's more to do with whether your device identifies itself to the market as phone or tablet.
For that reason, and also because of the timing of when you first had issues, I would still suspect the latest app update is causing your problem, rather than anything you've changed on the tablet. I'd wait and see if the next update fixes it before you try anything too drastic.
In case you aren't following the other thread... The new update has been released and I can confirm it works fine on my Acer Iconia, so if WAP permissions were causing your problem, hopefully yours should work now too. Good luck!
yup.. it is working now.. i even bought the cranky story.. but it is kinda weird the free version still show not supported ...
Yeah, the free version still has WAP in its permissions, don't know whether it's intentional or another mistake.
Suppose most people with Android tablets have Android phones too, so will end up like myself...trying the free one on the phone and then getting the full one for their tablet.

[Q] N717 Reroot and Adding Android 4.1

Hi Everyone,
I am new to this forum and have a questions about a Samsung Galaxy Note N717 that I am using at working to test a new app we have been approached with. The Note was bought in Korea and is a Genuine Samsung Galaxy Note N717 LTE.
It is running Android 2.3 and We need it to run Android 4.0 at least for the application to work.
From the research I have done, I have seen other having similar issues upgrading the software. I recently had a friend who is a Samsung Qualified Repair Agent try to install the latest software however it has crash his PC and now the Handset.
I need to get his phone working again with Android 4.0 on it. Can anyone suggest anywhere near London, UK that can do it? Or provide me with the correct details of how to do it, like a walkthrough almost. I am fairly tech savvy and have worked with mobiles for the past 7-8 years but his has totally confused me.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

I am sure this is way out of my league and I myself cannot provide a solution. it is very possible that the device has been bricked. I am US based and the only fix I am aware of here is called a J-TAG which costs about $50 here and takes about a week.
whether that is the final diagnosis or not? im sure someone else will chime in.
but isn't part of the solution knowing what you did wrong? I don't think you provided enough information.
maybe you need to check again your device for what it is...........I ran a google search for n717 myself (which is what you should do) and the main result in that search is an address so I don't know.
also tried variances of 717 and found everything from flight path software to medication.
I originally thought maybe you had a Canadian version bought in Korea ???
anybody is going to need more info..........
what phone is ?
software currently?
what did you try to flash?
was what you tried to flash for the right model phone?
can you get download mode?
does phone even vibrate?
at this point could be anything from wrong software to something as simple as a stuck power button
gonna have to narrow things down a bit........if you don't know what you did, how is anybody else?
A Note N717 is a knockoff I believe. It is not a samsung phone and will not run samsung ROMs.
Thanks for your help
The phone is a Samsung N717 Note, the software was Gingerbread 2.3 until Samsung tried to reinstall the software. it has now crashed the device. As mentioned I need the latest version of android or better than 2.3 at least. I currently do not have the phone so cannot try vibrate or download mode.
Under the battery it is either a n717 or i717, it is a LTE device with an aerial that can come out.
What can zendesk do for me?
I would really like to get this resolved, from the research I have done it can be sorted but it is beyond my capabilities.
Thanks

well which is it??? I717 or N717. kind of important.
and if Samsung TRIED to re-install software and then it crashed, it would then be their responsibility. I would be asking them where your new phone is.
if you don't make them responsible, then I am sorry to say, what kind of chump are you?
either you are not telling us everything, or you did not tell Samsung everything.
whats the DEALIO ?

[q] sm g900h

I have a SM G900H (that's what the sticker inside says) that was an e-bay purchase from a Hong Kong seller. I have had a couple of small problems using it, but recently it has started getting worse so I want to try to flash another ROM. The problem now is, after trying to find out more about the phone I'm not sure exactly what hardware I have. Is there a PC utility that can "investigate" my phone, and tell me what exactly I have ?
Flash with Official Firmware

Please mention the types of problems you are facing. G900H is the International Exynos model. I have the same phone.
The ROM development for G900H is slow for some odd reason. To fix issues you are facing, which may be software related, I'd suggest you download and flash the official firmware.
Thank you for replying. I have had problems sometime with charging, the screenbegins to fade and if I'm too slow to respond by disconnecting the phonewill not turn on for a couple of hours. Some apps do not appear to work but iI think that the problem there is related to GPS issues. My GPS is rubbish. When I get to another device later I can state what shows as the model on Bluetooth. I can only remember the beginning which is ALPS. I would like to consider flashing a new ROM but I'm trying to discover what exactly I have inside so that I install the correct ROM for the phone. I have requested information from the eBAY seller but had no response.
Thank you again. More details later.
Apologies for not responding sooner, recent personal issues had taken priority and I've since become accustomed to some of the peculiarities of this phone. The issue I've had with charging (see above) could probably be explained away with a suspect charge cable/connector, as since then I have replaced the cable and secured it for my own personal use. Where the maps are concerned (including sat-nav) the GPS leaves a lot to be desired, in some instances it would appear to be up to a half-mile wrong. This also affects another APP that I cannot use for work purposes (OMNICOM'S Track Locater) that defines my location to help me establish if I'm within a "safe" area. Another APP I still cannot use is a reader of the new QR codes, that relies on the camera function and not the GPS though. I also keep getting notified that "the Galaxy Note 3 widget has stopped working". I have no idea what that means to me, or what it does for this phone. I'm glad that I've now found someone else with this phone, I was beginning to think that it was unique. I include this screen shot taken from the "about" section of the phone, maybe this build has been improved.

Google Glass XE23 GPS Issues

Hi. I'm a newbie to the site so I want to give a salute to everyone first and foremost. I recently brought a pair of google glass to see how they were and play around with them a bit. Well, I did an OTA update to XE23 and now the GPS function is not working. I've read around a little bit but it seems that others haven't had the issue or probably no one really uses them anymore. I have downloaded ADB, SDK manager and XE22 factory Image and rooted bootloader from the developers site to try to flash back to XE22 but haven't really dived into it yet. Is anyone else experiencing this with XE23 and if so how did you resolve the issue? Thanks and any help would be greatly appreciated.
