Cannot get past buffering at first advertisement, reporting possible network error, however network connectivity well established on both wifi and data network. I'm thinking maybe adfree or maybe ad blocker built into gingerblur, anyone with any thoughts or similar experiences?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] natekinkead:
If you are running Kenneth Penn's GingerBlur or GreyBlur, replace the "hosts" file with the default one which only contains 1 line for localhost.

You can find it in /system/etc/

You'll probably need to use root explorer to get to it... or adb.

Then reboot and Hulu Plus will work on you Gingerblur Atrix! The downside is ads will show in most free apps... small price to pay.

Apple Gets Touchscreen Patent......

I would not even be surprised--by Apple or by the patent process--to learn that Apple has patented taking the first step with your right foot when walking with a smartphone in your pocket (don't get any ideas Apple--that's my innovative "technique"!)

Well, lets just hope the patent is revoked. The Company doesn't exactly have a good track record for well playing with others. But I suppose it's not as stupid as say patenting page up and page down for example.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:
Hi everyone,

I've got a U8800 and I've tried a couple of things to get the Yahoo Mail pushed on the default Mail App, but no luck so far.

I don't understand why the K9 Mail or Yahoo7 Mail apps can do it and not the default mail app.

Now, did anybody manage to get this going on Android 2.2.1/2.2.2?

If anybody can tell me if this is supported by 2.3 or CM7 on any other phone it would be awesome.

Cheers,

I had this problem myself :(

We got our shipment of em at the Shack today and I got to pick out mine (preordered one) and I must say that it runs like a freaking champ! 3D is awesome, the viewing angle when in camera mode isn't the best, but when watching movies there's almost no distortion in image when viewing at a 170 degree angle (the only thing is that the 3d effect goes away). All in all, I must say that I am even more psyched about this phone, and I may just have a hard time missing my Evo (at least after the 3D gets S-OFF). Also, I'm not one to normally brag, but I will have mine at 7am friday morning... nana nana boo boo, stick your head in doo doo

Are you running Stock or a Custom ROM? I'm on CM7 and I can start the app, but playing a show will constantly buffer and then refuse to play. I am on Wifi, but lousy (2G) cell service. I can't see any way to restrict the app to wifi only. If its not defaulting to cell, then I'm having some kind of problem with CM7.

I figured it out. I was modifying my hosts file to block ads and it was blocking H+ pre-roll commercials somehow. Then it never went on to my program that I selected.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rafkong:
I hear you but thanks to Hulu and Netflix I no longer have a $180 monthly bill from the cable company which not only also gives subscribers ads but also replaces the subscription channel's ads with their own promoting their overpriced crap.

I'd much rather pay $17 a month and have some very short ads and the ability to view all the content on any device I choose being that at home or on the go.

Think of it this way, have you ever had to spend the night at your cheap aunt's house who has only a land line telephone and an antenna for the tv and then not being able to watch Dexter, South Park, Mr. Bean or whatever show you really like during the night because you can't sleep on a strange bed?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Michael Spencer:
I think I found a fix for this, as I was having the same problem. If you're comfortable with a command prompt:

su -

whoami

# should say "root" or "unknown uid 0"

mount -o remount,rw /system

cd /system/etc

ls -al hosts*

# there should be "hosts" but not "hosts2". If "hosts2" exists but another number doesn't, just use some other unique hosts-like filename.

mv hosts hosts2

grep -v hulu hosts2 > hosts

ls -al hosts*

# now both hosts files should exist, and hosts should be a little smaller than hosts2. If that's not true, do not proceed.

rm hosts2

mount -o remount,ro /system

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ameedi600:
Hi I was wondering if it is possible for a mytouch slides sound from the back could stop working. I have a mytouch slide almost brand new and I rooted it and put 3rd sense rom on it and then over clocked to 785mhz. I then began to play drums on an app from the android market and then suddenly the sound stopped working. Is it even possible for stuff like this to happen out of nowhere. I was thinking it was the rom but I want to know what you guys think. Please someone help, thanks in advance.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krinilssen:
well for sure the speakers didnt blow out becuase you would know that.... i think it is either your rom or from over clocking it, try putting the salsa slide rom on it and see if that fixes it, they both are sense roms

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] umair9001:
I am currently running cognition v1.07 and I am pretty impressed with the ROM.

I wanted a translucent notification bar, so i tried pulling out the framework-res.apk, and modifying the status_bar_background.png and status_bar_header_background.9.png

Once i push the framework back, i don't see any change in the notification bar.

What am I doing wrong here, I would like to change things myself instead of going for a theme patch or something. Please can someone help on this.

EDIT:

Found the solution, the status_bar_background.png in /system/app/SystemUI.apk had to be edited.

[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
Recently I've been addicted to rainbow 6 multiplayer on my xperia play. I've noticed that I have a much easier time aiming and headshots then other players... Chances are they are gaming on a regular touchsphone, scrambling to aim at me but die before they can shoot.

At a record of 1887 to 817 deaths, it's safe to say because of the keypad advantage, I am better then other players. How are you guys coping with fps??? I was never good at fps but I get records like 100-26 with 42 kills being headshots
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
I would also like to add that I am extremely happy with this phone, for the simple fact that it's for gamers.. Casual or not the gamepad really enriches the experience... It's sad that sony releases this when they are struggling and don't promote or back it properly... If it was samsung that released it, I'm sure it will dominate the entire cellphone gaming market
[Xperia Play General] englishguy26:
Ya they definitely released it at the wrong time, or atleast should of worked more on the release games...but i think its a fantastic phone, the gamepad is beautiful, playing first person shooters against any touch screen players does put you a step ahead, i personal like nova 2 :) never really enjoyed the modern combat, felt really awkward to play. Probably the best part of the phone is being able to play ANY emulator on your phone at perfect speed with a proper gamepad, doesnt get much better than that! Personally loving the playstation emulator and snes! :) - Kes

[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Im very disapointed in the way gameloft have applied the right touch pad, all they have done is use it to emulate screen swipes, i dont understand why they cannot use it to emulate an analogue stick like they do with the left one! Like on battle bears
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
I agree. I am going to eamil them for an update. I have all the gameloft shooters.

The bear one is a lot of fun.
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
Yea the emulators are awesome on it. I can't imagine people playing Mario 64 on just touchscreen... It must be very hard and awkward to use the Z bottom... I mapped mine to L2, so it's awesome
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
I find it much easier to swipe scroll like what they do now. It makes it easier and faster to turn while giving you perfect accuracy for precision when needed
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
Faster? I don't find that. If the guy is behind you then you have to swipe a lot of times. By then you are as good as dead. :(
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
This.

Swipe look is rubbish. It's the one and only thing that ruins fps's enjoyability on the Xperia Play for me at the moment.
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
Unfortunately Gameloft is only FPS option at the moment. Just like the Ipad 2. They make all these grand promises of great games like Infinity blade yet there hasn’t been any games like it since.

Edit: Has anyone tried Modern Warfare 2?
[Xperia Play General] jkhrist:
You guys are screwed the new PSP is on its way and it stole all marketing from the play. Actually the play had a great buzz as far as the web goes but that's as far as it went.
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
Not really "screwed" just getting the phone for gamepad emulators is already worth it.
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
You are right but I did buy the phone for more. I was hoping for PSP games like God Of War. If it doesn't get any more support I may switch back to my 3GS and give this one to my daughter to play games on.
[Xperia Play General] Red_Kop:
Finally got around to playing Rainbow 6 (great that it was free!).

Seems like top fun online.

Went in blind, straight into multiplayer not know controls etc and managed 11 kills and 12 deaths on the Play. That might not seem good, but it's good for me in an FPS.

Also turned the horrid music off, made it feel a bit like Counterstrike...how good would that be on Android btw?

Can see myself playing Rainbow 6 a lot now.
[Xperia Play General] speedyink:
The PSVita and the XPlay are two entirely different devices. The Xplay replaces your phone, ergo you have it on you at all time. It's not a gaming beast like the PSVita, but the battery lasts all day, you can do all your phone stuff on it, and when you are in the mood for games there are a myriad of choices and they all play awesome because you have physical buttons rather than just a touch screen.

The PSVita is great for places where you actually plan to bring it. Like flights, ferry rides, etc
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
I only bought the phone for emulators originally. I didnt even care about the playstation store. All i wanted to do was play some snes/megadrive/mame games on my telephone. You can not play these games on touchscreen only. Totally uncontrollable.

Didnt even know gameloft were porting to the xperia play. Got alot more than i bargained for. Some (Most?) Gameloft games are very awesome.

Being able to play mobile phone games and even browse the internet with the control pad is way better and more fun than any touch screen only on the market atm.
[Xperia Play General] shotgunfool:
You mean, Modern Combat 2 - Black Pegasis

And yes, its by far the best FPS on android currently, online is great, love CTF on Avalanche, Ranked 48 At the moment, i just cant put it down ;)

It is on my list of more games.

Edit: I looked in the market and it isn't FPS.
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
Yes but I don’t find the game loft games any better to control on the play with the swipe issue. And since they are the only option at the moment it really sucks. The bear game proves it works when done right.
[Xperia Play General] trothmaster:
agree 100% about gameloft control issues. What were they thinking?! Not to mention each one of their games controls differently...Modern Combat 2 the right stick works very different from Nova 2 but they both are terrible. I wish gameloft would just put their resources into making a control set that is quality and then worry about releasing a million games.
[Xperia Play General] Techdread:
Just not having to smear the screen with my thumbs is a big Improvement.

Though I wish they could let the character spin with the right Game Pad, it just means in N.O.V.A.2 I have to strafe more.:D
[Xperia Play General] speedyink:
Modern Combat controls SUUCK compared to most games. Backstab, beautiful, star battalion, not too shabby, but on MC2 I can't even play with the left thumbstick, I have to use the d-pad, and the right stick feels...sticky, or something. I can adapt, but it's a drastic difference from most their other games.
[Xperia Play General] englishguy26:
I personally didnt enjoy Modern Combat 2, the movement and looking around felt very awkward. Nova 2 on the other hand felt smooth and easy to control, but theres not a lot of online games to join :( Rainbow Six just got released the past few days, and OMG amazing...completely OWNS Modern Combat, and this is coming from someone who doesnt usually enjoy rainbow six games :)
[Xperia Play General] Techdread:
Just completed N.O.V.A 2, for the £1 i paid it is excellent value for money. Going to play a bit online too.

[Xperia Play General] englishguy26:
Ya definitely worth the £1 LOL theres rarely a game running online, which sucks or i would play it more. Lemme know how Backstab is if you play it :)
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
Which R6 game? there are two, I got one free and didn't find the controls very good.
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
I though there was only one rainbow 6 from gameloft.

There are sufficient amount of people online that game. There was not a time during the day where I had to create game. There are always 3to5 matches. Available
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
You're right. The other is splinter cell.
[Xperia Play General] thatsupnow:
I can't stand any of the controls for any of the fps games they are just terrible what the hell were they thinking? I would hardly say that the controls are "optimised"
[Xperia Play General] Sess:
To each his own. The swipe touch on the right analog is superior to the dual analog emulation I've seen executed by gameloft. If you want a clear example of what dual analog aiming would be like, try modern combat 2, and change the screen mode from analog / swipe, or swipe/swipe/ to analog analog. You may like it, I find it abysmal. The only game that has terrible analog controls from gameloft imo, is splintercell. The right analog just stops working randomly sometimes it seems. I do commend gameloft for excellent use of the plays controls in some of their games. For those of you who hate the swipe and would prefer analog analog, think about the missing dead zone, and "flutter" of the analog pad. I might give it a few more tries in preparation for the new release of fpse with play analog support, but i don't think those pads with analog stick emulation are going to replace a real analog stick in the least, at least not for aiming.
[Xperia Play General] speedyink:
Well no crap, that game has abysmal support for analogue. I actually have to use the d-pad for walking around in this game. To contrast in Backstab, I can maneuver around great with the left thumb pad, and aiming with right pad using swipe is a breeze.

I mean, I see what you mean about it being a ***** to play in the analogue/analogue setting, but if MC2 was the first game you played with the analogues you'd probably say the exact same thing for both the pads. You have to admit, it's pretty terrible. I'm curious to see how well it would work on a game that supports the analogue pads a little more...elegantly, we'll say.
[Xperia Play General] Sess:
I considered that it might be a bad implementation, but to be honest, this isn't the first time I've seen analog stick emulation fail for look controls, I think we underestimate just how finesse we've become with the physical stick and the related muscle memory. With practice and proper software, Im sure a suitable touch screen replacement can pop up, but Im not hopeful that something will appear this generation.
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
^This!!!!

I honestly have no idea how anyone can enjoy FPS on the Play, the touch sticks are terrible.
