Both of the NFL streaming apps work fine on my Nexus 7, however I want to use them on a different device (AFTV). I loaded them on and had issues with both.
com.gotv.nflgamecenter.us.lite
There is a 'provider login' button that is missing from the settings tab.
com.neulion.android.tablet.nfl.wnfln
When opened on my tablet it immediately asks me to login with my provider account, on the AFTV it brings up a different screen not giving me that option.
My questions are:
How do these apps know what device they are being run on? Is it grabbing the info from build.prop (I tried editing it to change the product info, didn't have success)
Is there a way to spoof my device information to that app? Or, would decompiling the app and looking for the check be the best course of action?
Has anyone had success in getting around these types of issues previously? I searched and came up empty handed.

I am using a GTab with Vegan Gingerbread.
When I try to install an app from the online Market (market.android.com) on my tablet, it always say cannot associate my device to the account. And I find nowhere in account settings to do so.
Can we associate a tablet to google account and get application from online market, if we use an aftermarket ROM?
Also, anyone knows how to turn off the notificaion sound when email arrives (not turning off the whole volume of the tablet) in "Email" and "Touchdown"
thanks
Have you tried accessing the Market with your tablet? Try that first.
Secondly, depending on what you are trying to install it may not work to install it from the Web Market....
Thirdly, there are other posts that have dealt with this.
Finally, thanks for posting this in the correct forum, though it hasn't gotten the answers you were looking for just yet.
Are there any ROMs or Apps designed for use with a phone for kids in the 10-14yo range? I would like for my child to have a phone for emergencies and i was going to pass down my old one, but i can't really find much to lock it down with. All i have really been able to find are "sandbox" apps such as kids mode, kids place, or the like that allow specific apps, but disable all cell/wifi features. These are more designed for letting your toddler play with your personal phone, which isn't what i'm looking for. What i am looking for is to still be able to have cell/wifi, but include: Approved/unlocked apps. Disable the dialer and restrict outbound calls to a predefined, non-editable list. Limited or no marketplace access. Lockout on settings.
There are a lot of tablets that i have seen designed with kids in mind that do this kind of stuff and I've seen similar phones like Kajeet or Firefly, but that would require the purchase of a phone, which i already have and a separate plan. There's stuff like cheap flip phones, but that would still need to be acquired and I figure with all the fun stuff Androids can do they will make sure they carry it around with them.
there was once an app call kytephone.com that did exactly this, but they where only around for like 6 months and then shut down. while the app can still be found in some places and side loaded, its no longer on play store, but it required internet access and a login to launch. since they are shut down, you can't create accounts or login anymore so even a side loaded version is useless.
If it could be done with separate apps to lock down stuff, that would be good too. I know the play store has content filtering and PIN for purchases, there also seem to be plenty of child friendly browsers out there for web filtering, and i could use app lock to lock out settings, but the difficulty i found was with the contact list and dialer.
I would prefer to stay with the stock ROM to keep T-Mobiles wifi calling, but if there's a custom ROM for this, that would work also.
Any thoughts, ideas or suggestions?
Thanks.
Howdy. I realize that this is almost 10 years old but - did you find anything? (fingers crossed).
Thanks!

This is a general question. I'm having trouble "forcing" a website to utilize my location. There's a site we use at work. It is built on a Google Maps layer. We can log work completed and other information for units that appear as features/layers on the map. That all works just fine. The trouble is with the "auto-follow" function on the map. The guys who have IOS devices are not having any problems. If I use the generic "internet" browser or the browser in LastPass, auto-follow works as expected. It pans/zooms the map to my current location and puts a blue dot wherever I am. The issue is that auto-follow does not function in Chrome browser.
I have tried many things so far, from the very basic like this: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/142065?hl=en
To this: http://superuser.com/questions/591758/how-do-i-make-chrome-forget-a-no-to-geolocation-on-a-site
to this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...r-a-website-for-which-i-previously-refused-it
and this: https://buddypunch.freshdesk.com/su...tion-services-on-my-mobile-device-or-browser-
So far, nothing has worked. I'm beginning to wonder if there is something within the app/site that is not requesting location data in a way that Chrome either understands or wants to comply with. I have a line to the "developers" and if I can give them specific information, they can probably make some changes.
Yes, I could use other browsers. But Chrome is my default and is integrated with everything else on my phone (T-Mo Galaxy S7 with most current versions of everything) But I am not the only person experiencing this. I'd like to help out those guys (most of which are not very tech savvy) by cracking this nut.
Anyone have any thoughts or ideas?
I found the cause:
https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/native-hardware/user-location/obtain-location?le=en
Google went and changed things on EVERYONE without notice. They aren't evil, just not always real nice.
I got Remix working, used the wonderful hacked version. I am on a Dell something-plex and it is working great! I got my screen orientation to move to portrait, and I am excited to setup widgets on a third party launcher. I am going to make it a family calendar-screen in our kitchen. Thinking about making an instructable out of the project. I found a lot of answers to questions and road blocks I encountered from the forums. There is one thing I cannot solve.
I cannot install any google task client that works! When I say works, they will all install, and most of them will let you make tasks locally, but none of them will sync with google. I CAN use a browser, (chrome, dolphin, etc) and get to the canvas or android mobile interface of tasks, but none of the apps can sync. I am stumped. The same apps I have tried work fine on my phone or tablet, but will not seem to work on remix. Is it x86 related? is it something funky with remix specifically?
I do linux admin for my job, so i dug around looking at dmesg and whatnot, but i have not taken the time to learn android at the same level as a server OS per se. I was not able to find anything thus far. Was thinking about logcat and taking the android approach to troubleshooting this rather than an OS administrator approach.
Has anybody seen this behavior? Has anybody found a way around it? My reasoning for using the app is mostly silly. I would like to use a widget rather than have a floating browser window open. Call it silly, but its so we can see our family pictures behind it easier. (I also got wallpaper changer to cycle through a bunch of family photos i copied on to it)
If anybody over at Remix wants to have me send logs and stuff, I can do that if they would like.
Hi,
I've just taken a 101-G8 out of its box after about 10 years. I was pleased to find it was still in working conditions, was able to connect it to the wifi, use the installed apps, but trouble started when I tried to browse (using the pre-installed Dolphin browser). Almost all sites give me the 'Web page not available' message. After some trials I found that accessing http version instead of https would work, if the site didn't force a redirect. So I suspect a certificate issue, but I have no clue how to update them. Then I found out that the AppsLib and Market apps are no longer supported, so I can't update or install new apps.
After reading the forums, I know I could try to upgrade Android to something like 4.0 (via Cyanogen), but I'm not even sure this would fix my browsing issues, which is all I need right now (I'd like to use it for my kids to access the doodlelearning.com website). Any advice for me?
Thanks!
