[Acer Iconia A500] musicmama:
Just got my A500 via Staples mail order. Using the stock browser, I tried to catch up on my Falling Skies via XfinityTV with no success. Instead of a show, I got a message to install Microsoft Silverlight plug-in.

One of the reasons I got a tab is to be able to watch shows online when I'm stuck waiting for family at rehearsals, etc. I already have an e-reader and a video player, so this is the gap I need to cover.

Is this possible? Do I need a different browser? Or am I outta luck?

Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: In case anybody else is interested in this, Comcast "thinks" that the Xfinity android app will be updated to allow actual tv episode watching in a couple of months. Apple took precedence and they will eventually finish working on it for Android. Meanwhile, their app is good for controlling your DVR remotely, which is useless for me, which is why I tried to watch through the browser. Which is why I ended up posting here.
[Acer Iconia A500] fincan:
As far as I know there isn't any silverlight support for android yet. There was a project called moonlight that was supposedly going to bring silverlight to android but I did not hear anything new about it for the past 6 months, so I assume it is dead.

To whom? It's hardly Acers or Google's fault that these sites decided to use a Windows only technology for their media streaming.
[Acer Iconia A500] tanman1975:
HBOGo on A500 works.

And given that HBOGo app streams video in H.264, the stream from the website is higher quality.

I am using Dolphin Browser
[Acer Iconia A500] musicmama:
Did you install the app (from where, I don't see it in market) or do you just navigate to hbo dot com via browser? Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] dito33:
How did you get to work HBO Go when launch says not supported on your device, is there tab ver of it because I'm using the one installed on my phone which works fine there.
[Acer Iconia A500] naplesbill:
Just use the stock browser (or others), go to hbogo.com and sign in. It works that easy.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bloody Templar:
Almost. If you're on honeycomb 3.1, you need to go into your browser's settings and set the viewing mode to "desktop." If you're still on 3.0, you will need to set your browser to debug mode to enable desktop UA string.

Though really, you will want to watch on 3.1 because supposedly it gets better video performance with Flash.
[Acer Iconia A500] dito33:
And if some of the online shows require real player how do you watch that since

the extension is .smil and android real player can't open that to play.

Trying to run hbogo on stock browser along with dolphin opera and Firefox all a nogo has laggy video audio is great but picture very slow running 3.2 stock rom but these sites only run when in desktop mode tablet mode not an option any have a working apk version to install and see if we can get it working or some good setting for the browser

that's it I just got tired of waiting a solution for sim unlock my D2G, so ...

any of you, D2G owners, US citizen with a VZ contract, is interested in exchange your previously sim unlocked D2G with mine?

mine is blue, zero scratches, and no dust at all anywhere (it has been keept stored in the box most of the time).. ESN clean off course (i'll give you my IMEI so you can check with VZ)

the idea would be to send you mine (without battery and SD card and factory reseted off course)... I pay the shipping... you receive mine, and send yours to me (same conditions off course) .. yeah I pay that shipping too ...

so you get a mint one, and I receive yours sim unlocked... don't care at all about color.. and even I'm open to receive a phone with some usage marks... this is not scam, I'm just a guy tired of waiting to make his phone work ..

regards

Victor

Solution is easy

For me solution was easy. I pain 19 PLN (about $6,60) for an unlock code. I;m using my D2G in Poland and it works great.
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
Obviously the unlock codes sold on the 'net didn't work for walderrama; so I'm not sure why are you sharing your positive experience with that here, Gibol666.
[Droid 2 Global General] walderrama:
yeah indeed I've payed 4 times for codes that didn't worked (actually each seller promised that their codes will work as charm, but all 4 gave me the same codes)

well, I see that there's not enough "interest" in help me ... but what about if I add USD $50.- to this "favor"... I'll send it trough paypal as soon as I get the tracking number of the shipping .

Dear Customer,

Order ID: 3473673

Your Unlock Code for your Motorola, A956, IMEI: 355494042093571 Locked to: Verizon is:

355494042093571 OR 88339151 OR 33248343

For instructions on how to enter your code, please visit the following page:

http://www.TheUnlockShack.com/instructions.php

Note: If you have recieved more than one code this is because some handsets

have multiple levels of lock for network, service provider, sim etc.

(These locks are usually inactive and you don't need to worry about them)

The code most likely to be your network unlock code is listed first.

Best Regards,

www.TheUnlockShack.com

first code 88339151 work to my D2G phone :)
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
You can only unlock a phone that hasn't had unlock code altered by Verizon. With D2G it is a hit or miss. Some unlock (like mine), others do not.

All online unlockers gather their database from Motorola. Hence providing same codes. For "altered" phones, only Verizon can give you the right code. Unfortunately...

Hello,

I currently do not own a SGS4g, but I know a friend who does.

My friend previously had an iPhone and liked it. Now he wants to explore the customization of Android (due to me flashing so many different ROMs in front of him). He is currently too scared to root and custom rom his phone in case he bricks it.

I know there is the One-Click unbrick, but I was curious if it would work on the SGS4g. According to this it said it works on all Odin3(?) Samsungs and only on "softbricks".

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1153310

So I guess my questions are:

How can I tell if the phone is "hardbricked" and "softbricked?"

Once you flash a custom rom + kernel will you be able to go back to stock i.e. stock radio/kernel/bootloader?

I also found this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1117554&highlight=bible

It provided awesome information but I couldn't find out if there was a stock radio and others backed up online.

I know that these types of questions are asked a lot on these forums. So please bear with me.

Again, I am not familiar with this phone so stuff about Odin and Heimdall are flying over my head. I flashed my custom ROMs on my Motorola Milestone and we didn't have Odin and Heimdall.

Please help, I'm doing this to make a fellow Android User love his phone just a little bit more.

Thank you,

lilhugo
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
There are odin files that will return you to stock within 10 min, so don't worry about that. Soft bricks are when you don't mount the system properly (among other things) or don't follow the dev's instructions and your rom doesn't load. You will basically stuck at the galaxy s startup screen and can't get past it. This usually happens to everyone at least once and not really considered a big deal. To fix, you need to use odin to flash a rom with the computer. A hard brick usually happens when people mess up with flashing roms that change the boot loaders. There can be other causes but this is the most common reason. You can tell it is hard bricked if the phone wont even power on. This is much more serious than a soft brick. Soft bricks are always recoverable. Hard bricks are not always recoverable, but still possible.

So i currently have a Mytouch 3G, so is kinda old already and is time for an upgrade. Here are my choices, now i know of them. I have read much and i know of the specs, but i just need help decided in which from those smart people from here. thank you in advance.

G2X - great powerful cpu, awesome for gaming $150

HTC Sensation - great powerful cpu, better resolution $150

Mytouch 4G Slide - great powerful, actual keyboard (im use to none since i had the 3G) $199

I know alot of other specs but i just didnt want to go into details. If anyone want to talk about the specs in regards to selection but all means, please do so, maybe there is something i am missing which will help me get over the fence.
[General Questions and Answers] rivalcycle971:
I was actually in the same boat as you yesterday before I went to the T-Mobile store. I bought the Sensation because it felt the best in my hand and the screen and UI looked the best out of the three. I would try them out if you can, it'll definitely make it easier to decide. Once I tried the Sensation it just seemed like the obvious choice. (but you might have a different preference)

I would go for the mytouch. Looks like a great phone.

So I tried the diceplayer free trial and it was the only app able to play my 1080p MKV's with ac3 audio with no lag. When I went to buy the paid version, it said my phone was not supported. Is there a way to force unsupported apps to be downloaded and installed from the market?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schlehmil_me:
Turn it off and on again? Then try to disable Airplane Mode from Power Menu. If this does not fix your problem you could try to start your phone without SIM, shutdown, re-insert SIM and turn it on again. That fixed another problem for me months ago with a HTC device.

[Xperia Arc General] Eric the Half-a-Bee:
Steps:

1. Flash LT15i firmware .ftf via Flashtool. Download here:

Generic Global Firmware 4.0.A.2.368 ready to flash with flashtools:

2parts:

Part1: ... F16MN2BZ ...

Part2: ... WFZYAJFB ...

I am new to this all (the Xperia Arc is my first Android phone), but I will give it a go. So I downloaded all files, but the Part2 file gives errors. According to 7 zip the file is broken, so how can I get a correct Part2 file?

Do I first flash Part1 and then Part 2, or do I need to merge these files (or so) to one ftf file? (sorry, I am a noob and it isn't a piece of cake ... yet)
[Xperia Arc General] crimilde:

Nope, you can jump straight to step 2 if you're already on .368.

Forgive my ignorance here.

I have UK Vodafone A.2.368 just upgraded via PC companion.

I tried the flashtool method yesterday and bricked the phone, it locked at the SE green logo.

I managed to unbrick it (by relocking the bootloader) and the phone works again.

So, from 368 UK Vodafone, what do I need to do to root, I just want the take the bloatware off.

Thanks
[Xperia Arc General] Eric the Half-a-Bee:
You need to root your phone to remove the bloatware (and install a file manager that does the trick, like root explorer), that is the only root thingy there is, well at least to my understanding.

I succeeded last Wednesday in unlocking and rooting my phone, using this guide and many others. The five steps described in this tutorial were seven mile steps for me, being a nooby newbie, so I had to figure out all intermediate steps. But I succeeded in the end, so if describing the intermediate steps help, let me know.

My phone was already on 4.0.A.2.368 (thanks to PC Companion), so I could skip step1 of this guide, thanks to crimilde.
