The current Netflix update (non-denominational!) seems to have corrected my constantly dropping wifi issue with the original app.

I redid the build.prop back to its original configuration and it works fine here at home and in two local B&N's.

Any update on getting HBO Go to work???

Thanks in advance.

I am happily watching my favorite classic series "Emergency!" as I type. But I had to edit build.prop to get rid of the chipmunks and the hyperactivity!

HaHa-would that be Roy Desoto, and Johnny Gage? Watched it all the time way back when!:rolleyes:

Works but plays too fast. everyone sounds like chipmunks. Does kinda give a new slant to Dane Cook and Sons of Anarchy.
[Nook Color General] bigbob23:
I used HTC and HTC Vision to get rid of the chipmunk sound (playback rate was too fast). However, after I did this I was unable to download a book to the Nook app (an error box popped up). Returning build.prop to the original value fixed this.

I need to try it again to verify that the problem is repeatable.
[Nook Color General] daemonfly:
I'm using a rather old nightly (update-cm-7.0.3-encore-signed.zip (5/8)), and it's working just fine. Downloaded market version, and playback is perfect, tethered to HD2 wifi. No audio issues.

Was considering upgrading to a newer nightly, but with the audio issues, perhaps I'll wait. That, and I disabled screen lock, and have wifi set to never sleep, and I actually have great battery life.
[Nook Color General] Philomorph:
The app works, but when I stream a movie, it sounds like it's voiced by chipmunks, like I'm fast forwarding through it. Any thoughts?

Nook 1.2 with MN 4.5.6

Netflix plays at chipmunk speed. I've tried several programs to change the build.prop but none will allow me to save even though it is mounted as R/W.

Anybody with this build figure out a solution? It looks like most that have, have CM7.

Thanks,

Root Explorer, mount /system as r/w, then LONG press on the file and hit open with text editor.. If you short press, then it will open it in a text READER, instead of EDITOR..

Hope that helps
[Nook Color General] uquackmeup:
Oh man that was THE trick. I used File Expert (because it's free) and it still worked like a charm. THANK YOU! Netflix works great.
[Nook Color General] Puddynose:
bhess, could you elaborate? The second file is the netflix.apk file? Where on the sd card do I copy it? And most important, using ES file explorer, where do I locate the file? I checked every folder and couldn't find it. I used the search tool and couldn't find it. Like you I'm running Cm7.1 off sd card. Thanks in advance.
[Nook Color General] TigerBait1127:
I can't open the market anymore after changing build.prop and I'm still getting the chipmunk sounds
[Nook Color General] TigerBait1127:
Can someone please post what the original build.prop looked like. My backup was altered
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
You could have made a backup first. If you're on CM7 you could just re-flash.

If your market is having trouble, you did it wrong. Change two lines to Vision/HTC, per many posts in this thread.
[Nook Color General] ExploreMN:
Just curious, but why does CM7 stable use the Nexus S and CM7 nightly uses HTC Vision?

Aren't they both off the same base?
[Nook Color General] Puddynose:
Can get ES File Explorer to Mount file system

I am running CM nightly 87 off Sd card and have been having the "chipmunk problem" with Netflix.

I tried using ES File Explorer to change the build.prop but after OK-ing Superuser access I check "Mount File System" and I get a message "unable to mount" so I can't proceed any further.

Can anyone offer suggestions as to why I can't mount the file system?

Is it because I'm running off SD?
[Nook Color General] Omega Ra:
okay, running stock, MN (latest) and Dalingrin 5/23 OC kernel. I can't get Netflix to play anything. The app opens, I can see my queue, but when I try to play something I get a black screen and then a message saying netflix isn't responding. I get the same thing with both the regular build.prop and the modfied one... Yesterday morning I got no video and chipmunk voices, so I modified the build.prop, now I get nothing.

EDIT: got it, instead of HTC Vision, I Put Nexus S and Samsung and chipmunks are gone.

So im thinking about buying a Nook Color for $180. How reliable is Netflix? I know the app can be updated at any time by Netflix and disable the hack but how well does it run? HD quality on movies that support it?
[Nook Color General] Rogue Leader:
Are we sure it can be gotten from the market?

I ask because I am running CM7 nightly 97 and for the life of me I cannot find it on the market anywhere???

Anyone else have this issue?
[Nook Color General] smoak511:
I am having the same issue. I was able to get Netflix working previously posing my NC as Nexus S, but now the Netflix app tries to update itself from the Market and Market doesn't show the update. I tried as Nook Color, Nexus S, and HTC Vision.

Does anyone have the new APK file that I could sideload?
[Nook Color General] Rogue Leader:
I think they put the restriction back on. However they may have added a couple devices. I was just able to find and download the app on my Motorola Droid with 2.2 on it and noticed it was added to the list (IIRC it was not on there in the past).

Kinda new to this is there a way I can copy the APK from my Droid? Its not rooted, I will have to do it at home later as well.

[Nook Color General] dr4ggy:
Is there any way to change your build.prop and not have the google marketplace freak out? I can't open it unless I revert to my original build.prop....but then netflix doesn't open.

As some have mentioned in this thread, we should only need to change the 2 lines. But that wasn't enough to trick my marketplace and I had to modify those 4 extra lines.

If I revert my build.prop back to the 2 line modified prop the marketplace still won't open. It has to be the original build.prop or it won't work. Did I do something wrong?

Edit: Nevermind, it seems to have fixed itself...
[Nook Color General] bobd019:
Cant get Netflix to work on rooted Nook Color

I've tried changing the build.prop file as I've read many times. Tried both the HTC Vision fix, and the Nexus S fix. When I attempt to start Netflix, I just get the red screen with the Netflix logo and the circular thing spinning as if its trying to connect. Never gets farther than that.

I have a refurbished Nook Color (1.2) rooted. Everything else works fine. Android market, Amazon appstore. And I'm able to download, install and use other apps with no problem.

Yes, I am a Nook noob, so maybe I am missing something... any ideas?

Problem is not my wireless router since my Ipod touch can connect to Netflix.

Thanks,

Bob

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BikerCVG:
I have been using Shazam for several months and today I noticed that it was missing from the start menu and looked like somehow it uninstalled itself… I went to marketplace and it is also gone from there.

When I got home I used the PC to try and find it and reinstall it. All I could find is a that after May 11th 2011 you have to upgrade to the premium app. for unlimited tagging.

Has this been removed from marketplace? Can something pulled from marketplace also remove itself from my phone with/without my knowledge?

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtboos:
Its in the games hub, god knows why. Hopefully they realize how dumb that is and put it in the MUSIC hub with the next update.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoboDad:
It was a mistake, obviously. Most likely, whoever submitted the update clicked the wrong radio button on a submission page somewhere.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtboos:
Normally I'd say 'obviously' but they also priced their 'premium' version at $5.99 lol. That has since been removed due to extreme backlash haha.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purple11:
5.99 for Shazam? Thats RIDICULOUS for Shazam!! Tons of Xbox games with years of code writing and graphic designing behind that game dosent cost that much.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BikerCVG:
Thanks I forgot it was in the game hub.:) Who would of thought...:rolleyes:

Does anyone else not find it in marketplace:confused:
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoboDad:
It's still there, but it looks like it has been temporarily disabled from searching/downloading, probably due to the Games hub bug.

As far as the price being outrageous, please read the other thread. This is the exact same price that they charge for the premium version on other platforms, and it's been that way for a long time.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VonCrisp:
True. But Shazam has to adopt to the ecosystem that is known as WP7 marketplace. This marketplace has different price points and less apps.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Happy_Go_Lucky:
Hi

I have a Galaxy Tab running the Overcome Rom v1.6.0

Under Settings / Applications / Manage Applications it is possible to move apps to the SD card. My questions (noob) are:

1 - is it ok to move all apps the SD card?

2- is it possible to move all the apps in one go and not have do it one by one?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
All your apps will be installed to the 2GB partition on the internal SD card. No real need to move them to other partition or to an external card. This may be needed on other devices that do not have a internal SD card or ones that have a small nand chip etc but not really needed on the Tab.

Unless you have one of teh tabs that didnt come with 16GB of internal memory, then ofcourse nothing I said applies. :p
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Happy_Go_Lucky:
Would it make a difference in terms of speed / performance if I kept all 3rd party apps on the external sd card. The tab is 16gb.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Not really no. They are both SD cards. Remember the tab has a 16GB sd card installed internally, hidden under the casing, its not like phones where they have onboard memory in nand, with exception to windows phones, they too also have internal SD cards.

I suppose it depends on what brand/class they are. I'm sure somebody more technically minded about this particular subject will be able to answer better.

I personally keep all my files like apk's and documents etc on my external and reserve my internal for installed data, music, videos etc.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Happy_Go_Lucky:
My situation is I have 8GB space on the internal. My music file which I am about to Sync is 8.5GB. I was looking at also putting my music on the external sd. Is there a quality difference (you have yours on the internal).

Also (hope you can help me on this one). When using Kies you have the option to add your music files to the Kies Library. Is\this simply going to copy my entire music library (8gb) to a new samsung folder on the pc and hence duplicate my music + waste space? Or am I missing something?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NibblerWeather:
Multiple technical support reps have told me over the phone that Atrix will do LTE (att flavor I guess). Yet I everything I've read contradicts this. Rumor is att will begin launching lte in certain areas june/july. Can anyone offer some clarifications reflgarding the Atrix radio capabilities?

They told me the same thing! when i bought the phone i specifically asked them and they said yes
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] franciscojavierleon:
forget it, they meant hspa+, this phone doesn't have a lte radio, no matter who says anything
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayRolla:
HSPA can do up too 14.4mps and thats why they care calling it 4g even though 4g originally was data service of 100mb or better. The Atrix like stated above DOES NOT have the LTE radio no madder what ATT tells you.

Im not even on true HSPA in my area but I do know one thing, ever since the update that unlocked the upload I have seen 6mb down and 1.2mb up. I almost always see between 3-5mb now and I'm not even in a 4g area.

The good thing about HSPA is it uses the same 3g towers and technology so battery is not affected. I guess the verizon guys on LTE are seeing very horrible battery life compared to running 3g. Thats why those Thunderbolts get such bad battery life. We get faster speeds without hurting the battery.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phobos512:
There are multiple versions of HSPA - the Atrix can do 14.4 mbps on download, but other phones can do 7.2 or 21 or even 42 mbps. The Atrix will not support LTE ever. It does not have an LTE modem and is not upgradeable to one. ifixit's teardown showed that the Atrix has a Qualcomm MDM6200, which is not an LTE modem (http://www.qualcomm.com/news/releas...ls-new-roadmap-gobi-connectivity-technologies).
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NibblerWeather:
The best download speeds i've found in my area are about 7.1 down. Pretty darn good....not consistent at all though.

It also seems like att is coaching employees to tell customers that the Atrix will do LTE.

Im starting to wonder if they are going to market their hspa+ as a synonym for LTE.

Thanks for the responses and the link. Pretty clear att is continuing to lie about the subject.

If any of you are curious I encourage you to call ATT tech support and ask them about LTE and the Atrix. Post your responses here.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mafisometal:
Lets be realistic about this:

HSPA and LTE aren't that far apart from each other in the current state. Theoretically speaking, HSPA should be VERY close to LTE speeds once they fully roll out. HSPA is "4G" like whenever that will be fully rolled out to everyone. I'm sure there are a ton of you that are going to give out all of these statistics and what not to disprove me. The fact is, those numbers are all in "theory" and the fact of the matter is that we will never see those speeds....EVER, unless you live next to a cell tower.

I personally think that if we get 14mb speeds, we're damn good. The point is do we really need all of that speed?...not really...it's not that big of a deal. The phone is pretty bomb, the features are amazing.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purepulse64:
I really don't think they are training their employees to say the phone is LTE capable. AT&T knows what the phone can and cannot do (its even printed on the box)

It sounds like you've just spoken with people who either didn't get all the facts or don't know the difference... not everybody is nerdy like us on all this HSPA+ LTE stuff :P
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] zukа:
Hi guys,

[Warning: This will be of interest to a very small ammount of OCD people. I am one of those people]

This is a small (very small) project I've been working on for the past few days. Let me give you some background:

When I first saw renders of the HTC Sensation, I thought "Damn, that's a sweet wallpaper. I want it bad." When the Sensation's ROM dump came out, I immediately applied the default Sense 3.0 wallpaper... and it looked terrible.

Let me explain: we all know the HD2's screen has a limitation in colors that makes most images look different. But also, if you're using a Sense-based ROM like I am, if you apply a wallpaper through the gallery there's no dithering applied to the image. That's a technical way of saying you get badass color banding. So not only were the Sensation wallpaper's colors completely off, it was banded very badly.

So, how to fix this? You move the wallpaper to HTC's default wallpaper folder. But if you apply an image through that folder as-is, it gets shrunk, so the image has to have a frame to display it properly.

So basically, after going back and forth between reference images of the Sensation, Photoshop Pro and my phone's screen, I have:

1. Properly framed the image so that, when it's moved into HTC's default wallpaper folder (System/Customize/Resource/htc_wallpaper_03.jpg) it displays properly

2. Tuned the image to suit our phone's resolution

3. Tweaked the colors so that they display on our phone's screens to closely mirror the colors displayed by the HTC Sensation with the same image. When you view this image on your computer, it will look wrong, but when you apply it through the HTC wallpaper gallery and compare it with reference images to the HTC Sensation it is almost a perfect copy. Believe me, I've spent hours on this because it bugged me so much. Give it a try and see for yourself.

So if you've made it this far, you're probably as detail oriented as me and wondering how to apply this correctly.

1. Download the file to your phone

2. Through a rooted file manager, cut the file and paste it into system/customize/resource, in the process overwriting HTC's third default wallpaper. Why? Because it's dog ugly.

3. On your homescreen, hit menu, Wallpaper, then HTC wallpapers. Scroll to the third wallpaper. The image in the gallery will still be the HTC default, but hit preview and apply it.

4. Enjoy!

It's not perfect, but it's the best we can do with the HD2's color limitations.

This file is free for everyone to use and devs can include it in ROMs if they want.

Cheers,

Zuka
