[Captivate Themes and Apps] capocaccia:
I've been using ad free and trying to revert my host file but I still can't get past the ad screen. Any way I can do this manually or other possible solutions?

Sent from my Samsung Captivate running Andromeda³
[Captivate Themes and Apps] aglebot:
Well, you can look at the file /etc/hosts, if it has been successfully reverted then it should just be one line:

127.0.0.1 localhost

You can probably do this manually if you use root explorer (or equivalent) to make the file writable.

This works for me great with WiFi, but hit and miss on 3G, depending on signal strength.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] capocaccia:
I checked the host file and it has been reverted. Still running into problems though. I get to the screen of Ad: Your video will resume soon but under loading circle and buffering it says: It appears you are having network issues. Please wait, or try again later.

Im going to mess around with clearing data on things today and see what happens.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] scottcwhite:
Works great. Now does anyone know how to get around the 8 bucks a month you gotta pay to use it
[Captivate Themes and Apps] isolated54:
Please can someone help me with this issue?! My sister have a Samsung Vibrant and after one whole night, I finally rooted her phone with Superoneclick just to help her install Hulu Plus on it. I got the app working but like so many others, I am stuck on the buffering screen!

I've tried the AdFree method of reverting my host file, rebooted, but still no go. I've tried uninstalling AdFree, rebooting. No go. I've tried booting into recovery mode to clear cache but no go. I've installed ES File Explorer to manually view my Host file and it is empty except for the 127.0.0.1 line. I am literally pulling my hair out.

Is there any other way to unblock ads on the phone to get Hulu Plus working? Is there like some sort of secret cache that I'm suppose to clear using a secret utility I don't know of? Please I need help!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] capocaccia:
I was never able to get it working on my phone either. I'm convinced it won't work on froyo based roms. I get the same issue with it never being able to get past the buffering screen even with a clean host file. If you are ever able to get it to work on a 2.2 ROM let me know.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] isolated54:
Thanks for the quick reply. Sucks for you to hear this but at least I'm glad I'm not the only one with the problem. I'm regretting ever telling my sister to get an Android phone. This is so ridiculous, although I understand this is not exactly the operating system's fault.

I'm about to give up on getting this thing to work on her phone. It's madness.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] scottcwhite:
Just put a gingerbread based ROM on her phone and use ad free. works fine on my cappy following original instructions

Just letting you guys know it works on

Thanks!!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ernie one:
I installed it on my Nexus One and then grabbed the APK with Titanium Backup. I can install it on my Xoom and run it, but it won't let me login, etc. because the device isn't supported. I thought I'd post it in case any of you know how to tinker with it to remove the device compatibility check.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] double1:
They got hulu working in browser, Hope they can get this app working.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] luis86dr:
You would think netflix and hulu would have released a app for tablets by now. It would benefit on both partys as far as sales so why they havent yet is beyond me.... -_-
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ZanshinG1:
At a guess, because they're having to work with multiple vendors for hardware DRM because that's what the media holders require.

That, and JNI/C++/Android NDK developers with enough experience to do the necessary coding are extremely hard to find. We may be having to wait while each vendor ramps one of their developers up on the necessary technologies.

Thank you!! Thank you for this file. It works on my Incredible
[Xoom Themes and Apps] neonerz:
What was your problem, did anything error out? I'm the one who wrote the article.

I used sed to make it easier (cut and paste) I could tell you a more manual way of doing it.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] B Dizzle:
I got a device not supported error on the Xoom after applying the build.prop edits. I think there may be more we should be editing for this device.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] neonerz:
I think you misunderstood the post (and I'm sorry if you did). This was just to make it show up in the Market. This wouldn't make the app itself allow playback if you got the error message.

Some devices do work that aren't supported (for example my Nook Color running CM7) so it makes me think that there has to be some way to get around the check, but unfortunately, that's beyond my skill set.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] B Dizzle:
That makes more sense and I misunderstood your post.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Altair78:
Thanks for this. Will have to give it a try.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] wfagan59:
This worked out for me.

http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?t=2556

Didn't get the sh script to work, so I just read it and did what it said in terminal emulator.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] B Dizzle:
Worked for me too. Too bad we can't force the app to landscape. :rolleyes:
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Kippui:
I have no idea on how to use that script.

Could you guys back up the app with TB and re upload here?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] B Dizzle:
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?t=2526&pagenumber=

This method may be a little easier for you. I tested it and it seemed to work just fine.

Directions:

1. Delete Hulu Plus if you have it installed already.

2. Delete any backups you may have of it in Titanium Backup.

3. Get Titanium Backup if you don't already have it.

4. Download this file and unzip it, there will be 3 folders in it.

5. Place all 3 folders in the sdcard/TitaniumBackup folder

6. Launch Titanium Backup and restore the backup.

7. Enjoy?

And of course I'm not responsible for anything that goes wrong and blah blah blah.

PLEASE NOTE: You can't use "Ad Free" or anything that modifies hosts for this, or the videos won't load.

Bruh, that worked perfectly. Thanks

Can we get hbogo the same way?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Tikerz:
I just tried this and still got the "Device is not supported..." message. I'm running rooted stock 3.2. Did I do something wrong?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] B Dizzle:
Did you make sure you removed all instances of previous hulu plus installs? I am running Tiamat 2.1 and it is working for me but I used Root Explorer to delete all hulu plus data before attempting the steps.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Tikerz:
Yeah I had never had Hulu plus installed before. Not sure why it's not working.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] webnerdz:
B Dizzle: It worked perfect and I'm running JTs Vanilla Gingerbread on my Fascinate. Thanks!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Kippui:
Try streaming a video ignoring the device check failure.

It worked for me, I wish the android version was the same as the iPad 2's hulu +.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ntrujillo:
It only lets me play Movies, When I try to watch TV Shows I get an error when its buffering and it says It apperas you are having network issues, please wait, or try again later....I uninstalled Ad Free and rebooted but still nothing. I tried on WiFi and mobile network, 3G/4G.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Kippui:
I retract what I said earlier, now it doesn't want to work.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] YoMaMa7467:
So I did this and it worked. I no longer get device unsupported bit when I try and play a movie or show I get an FC at loading video screen.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rustyshack3:
This doesn't work on my Galaxy Tab with GB. Immediate FC.

Does anyone know if the way this is supposed to work is because of a hacked apk or because of the data in the com.tar? I would like to help with working on this.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] slacka-vt:
This TiBackup method works flawlessly on my Xoom using the native Hulu app.

[Xoom Themes and Apps] Cubanluke88:
I tried this method and instead of getting the "not supported on your device" message I am getting "Hulu requires Flash Player 10.0.32 or higher. Please download and install the latest version of Flash Player before continuing."

Any thoughts?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Muffycheeks:
I did not read the post in it's entirety
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Cubanluke88:
Yes, I am running Tiamat 2.2 so that should be set automatically (you are referring to the UA string correct?). I checked just in case and desktop is selected.

I'm rather confused though. I thought the purpose of that thread/apk restore via Titanium Backup was to make it so I could watch hulu in the app? I have used the hulufied flash to get hulu in the browser and that works well but I was hoping to get the app to work as an alternative.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] blunttedsmurf:
Come here for the Modded apk that works on any device. Does not require root or messing with any other files. Just install the regular way and off you go.

XDA Vgeezys ModHuluPlus.apk
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Cubanluke88:
Checking this now. If it works, goddamn that'd be awesome.

Edit: Works like a charm, thank you!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] beowolfschaefer:
App seems to run fine but when I open it I see no media. Do I need an actually Plus subscription to use the app or should it work for their free content as well?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] red man:
Open the link and read..... your questions shall be answered
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Cubanluke88:
If you want to watch free content without a paid account, you'll need to use the hulufied flash apk which will allow you to watch hulu in the browser just like on a desktop.

I guess I'm greedy when it comes to things like this BUT I need it...hahahaha....Can't wait til someone gets their hands on the app and breaks it open and disables the device check so we can get it!!

I attached the official Hulu Plus app if someone wants to give it a shot at removing the device check........

Oh, it installs just fine.......BUT you get this stupid "device not supported" message which you can get past BUT you just can't stream ANYTHING so is like a preview of the app without streaming anything...hahaha

I'm looking for a microfiber or neoprene type sleeve for the Galaxy Tab 10.1. I've found the Samsung Leather Sleeve, which wouldn't be horrible, but I am not a huge fan of leather.

I really like RadTech's Sleevz for MacBook's, but they don't have the right size.. Something similar would be fantastic.

I don't like those cases that hold the unit and open like a book. When I want to use this thing, it will be coming out of the case.

Anyone have one or seen any?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] ikon8:
I've been looking for a nice sleeve/pouch for awhile. I just order the Waterfield Xoom sleeve to see how it fits. Waterfield makes some great high-quality sleeves.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] muzicman82:
I've seen their stuff before. It's quite nice... although maybe a bit more bulky than I am hoping for.

How close is the Xoom 10.1 to the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in size? I was actually also looking at MacBook Air 11" cases, but they don't work.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] ikon8:
They're very close in dimensions, except the 10.1 is obviously quite thinner. The 10.1 is only 6mm longer and 3mm wider which are tiny amounts so any Xoom sleeve should fit fine, it'll prolly just have some wiggle room because of the difference in thickness.

Waterfield also has a slip in sleeve like the one your looking for, for the Xoom.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] jeremydk:
I asked Waterfield about these. They believe the Sleevecase will fit, but the tablet will stick out of the xoom "Slipcase".

They also said to expect new sizes in the coming weeks.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] newyork03:
That is a nice sleeve, wish it had the right size...

That is what I was told when I called CS, I was just shocked that it was opened. Didn't activate just yet they are going to call back tomorrow to confirm that is the case. I don't want to activate a phone that has been tampered with.
[HTC EVO 3D] ZachPA:
Seals broken, battery shipped inside the compartment with plastic around it preventing contact. Entire phone was wrapped in the protective plastic. Everything was in with the phone, so I didn't think anything of it.

My guess is that they popped the box to put the info in for hands-free activation. Lotta good that did anyway cuz I had to call Sprint with my MEID so they activate it.

[HTC EVO 3D] nullkill:
The tabs being broken is because of shipping. None of the 3Ds were activated or opened before shipping that is up to you when ordering online, part of why there isn't a activation charge. UPS just handles packages sooooo gentle.

There is a reason a phone in a box needs to be in another bigger box with padding that costs more to ship.

[HTC EVO 3D] kcodya:
Both seals intact on mine.
[HTC EVO 3D] nfaust01:
The seals were broken to put a lock on the phone. This made it so it cannot be activated, not even on your own account unless you call support. I cant remember the term the in store rep told be it was but they had to open the box to get the codes to lock the phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] #Winning#:
It's kind of funny that we are provided with multiple answers on why the seals may be broken. I am still waiting on the CS rep who is to call me this afternoon to confirm but I did call again this morning and order support had no clue. They were willing to ship and exchange phone but I don't want to if it's not necessary.

I would think though that from all the answers with it being an activation thing or a way to lock the phone, wouldn't it be done to all of them shipped out? Just curious because there were people who reported the seals intact, and others reported that they were broken. Sad that Sprint can't relay an official message if they were tampered with for a certain reason.

Probably seems as if I am being a little critical here, I just want to make sure everything is good to go after all I did order a new phone. I guess there is the 30 days if need be to swap it if there is something wrong.

Thoughts?
[HTC EVO 3D] Sthomas2k:
yeah you guys aren't the only ones, i'm an employee for Sprint and i recieved my "1st" Evo 3D with 1 broken seal.
