Edit ---- 10\12\11 new update to HBO go app, still no video, more important new update is requesting super user permissions when started up - don't know why and I recommend not allowing it super user permission until you know why and are sure it won't cause a problem.

--- below is the original post ---

Hbo go app only plays audio no video on att gs2. If you like this app a much a I do please consider contacting the developer and request a fix for our phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sopdogg:
Word. I've already left a review on the marketplace noting that it needed to be fixed. I'm pretty sure they will do an update soon when more and more people start complaining.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
I sent an email through the market. Now I have switched to CM7 and just tried out HBO GO and it works flawlessly. Glad to have it back.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dxtra:
Theres an update out today. Still no video :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
I also just updated and also still no video.

More importantly I noticed that the hbo go app is now asking for super user permission (root permission) - will not affect anyone who has not rooted their phone. I have denied the permission request but I am wondering why it its even asking for it in the first place.

For anyone not sure what to do if you come across this never allow an app super user permissions (root permissions) if you don't know what it is doing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
I also updated today and decided to try out the app. I just said deny to root permissions. Then the app opened up and played fine. I am on CM7 though and audio and video worked from the get go, but the brief time I was on stock it did not work. There also is another thread about this.

This is probably going to have to be reported to the developer to be fixed...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chuckohboy33:
Is there a way to get it to work on UnNamed Rom or does it only works on CM7?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
I just flashed unnamed ROM this afternoon and HBO go is working. The version of HBO go I have working is 1.2.1.

Also, I am no longer getting su request from the app.

I'm interested to know if anyone still running stock can tell if it will work stock, or if it is just custom ROMs are fixing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chuckohboy33:
Thanks I updated to 1.3 version of UnNamed Rom and it works a charm. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sirooga:
uverse

I had the same problem of audio no video and now it just denies uverse customers access.think I'll be flashing again soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] krazpinoy7:
HBO go fixed!

I'm still running stock and the latest version of hbo go is now working 100%. :)

Edit: after update to hbogo I watched a few movies and shows but after trying to watch boardwalk the app crashed and phone rebooted now no video again. Not sure why?? ?

Edit; so after the crash and no video again I went to settings and cleared data for hbogo app. Tried the app and video is now working for me again. Possibly a temp fix until a update for this app. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mcann:
Working Now

I was having the same issue as everyone else, audio without video. I updated, got the SU request, accepted and no change. I saw a reply about clearing the data. I went to view the app first and now it's working. I haven't done anything other than run the app. Also working now are SHO and MAX. I have no explanation but I'm happy about it! Running Entropys stock/root/cwm.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
I would recommend in the future to not give su permissions to apps when not knowing why they are asking for them - unless you some how know what HBO go was up to.

I did not know and refused it su permissions back when I got the update that asked for them.

Rooting your Android phone in and of itself will not make your phone more vulnerable to malicious software, but granting su permissions to a rogue app will.

If I were you I would open your super user app and remove to su permissions you have to HBO go - especially since there is no reason for it to have it.

Be very cautious and stingy with su permissions and it will go a long way in helping protect from malicious software.

[HTC Inspire 4G] kraze1994:
Hi,

I recently bought the HTC inspire and rooted it then flashed it to Cyanogen 7 rom. So basically I am looking for a very powerful extended battery. I did some searching but wasn't able to find a decent company. Can anyone recommend a store or website?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nick281051:
Mughen for a 1500mah stock size battery or you can get the powerskin case which adds an equivalent of a seperate 1500mah or you can do both
[HTC Inspire 4G] kraze1994:
The power case is looking interesting. If I were to just go with the battery, would you have a rough estimate of how much more battery life I would get out of it?

I am mostly just looking for a phone that will last from the time I unplug it in the morning and plug it back in, in the evening.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nick281051:
I don't have either but I heard it gives at least a couple hours extra

[Atrix 4G General] mobileweasel:
I haven't played with ringtones ( besides default ) until today. Well I have convinced myself that I am retarded. I did some searching, and I found out that the ringtones are in the /system/media/audio folder. Great ! Copy and paste, right ?!? Wrong. Putting an MP3 in there did nothing. Hmmm, all the files are ogg ... so I convert the MP3 to ogg. I changed permissions to match the default ones. Hell, I even made sure it had a capital letter. Now it does show up in the list, but not with the proper name. Its listed as "0". For God's sake, there has to be a way to fix this and there has to be an easier way to add mp3's/oggs for custom ringtones. Honestly, if I can get the Imperial March to play when the wife calls and the theme from Jaws to play when the mother in-law calls, I'll be a happy guy. Please tell me there's an app for that !

Backtrack is a "wireless defense" Linux distro. :) A little more difficult to maneuver around and understand, but if you want you can boot Ubuntu, backtrack, and widows all on the same hdd. I would look into it. But if you're doing this for a desktop then I would forget backtrack.

Bloat here is preinsatalled apps that in most cases just save the user time from installing them. Office suite, image editor, other stuff you might need.

The two programs that have a giu that I use are Google chrome and a terminal. so bloat for me might be useful for you
[Off-topic] MartyLK:
LOL...I got interested in Linux from this thread and chose Ubuntu because it indicated it was for beginners. I can't even figure out how to install the Adobe Flash plugin for Firefox. I followed the help instruction and got nowhere.

That's the problem with these OSes that require terminal input. It's just too technical for people for whom computer code is non-intuitive.

Also, I can't even seem to figure out how to go from window to window. I have to minimize the browser or other window when I want to go to another opened window...like the terminal window. Looks like Linux hasn't made any improvements in user ease in the last 5 years since I tried Linux.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
Guys, I have a problem with the Transformer and it's Wifi that is driving me mad!

Regardless if I have wifi running in the background or put in Plane Mode when I turn on the screen after a short interval I notice the wifi has dropped and there is no longer an internet connection.

Not only that I can not get it to start again unless I switch off the TF and reboot.

On investigation on the settings, when I click on Wireless & Networks I notice the right hand pane of Wifi & Wifi settings to be flashing as if it is trying to connect but gets locked out over and over. As such you can not access any of the wireless settings.

I would appreciate any assistance you can shed on this problem.

Many thanks in advance.

Beards

EDITED:

I believe I have now found what was causing the problem and have explained in detail in Post 10 below.

Basically I found it was after updating to v3.2.1 ~ the WiFi Settings/WiFi Disconnection Policy 'When screen is tuned off' & 'Never when plugged in' was interfering with the state of WiFi, causing it to poll and repeatedly try and switch itself back on, thus a constant flash and inability to activate WiFi..

2) Changed the the channel on my router to 6

Works fine now.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tintn00:
I'm having this same problem for the past few weeks. Whenever the WIFI goes to sleep, I cannot turn it on unless I reboot my Transformer. It's sort of annoying.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
It's got to be software orientated that is interfering with the TF.

I can not think of anything other than software causing it to continually 'flash' as it tries over and over again to connect.

I need to look into date captured software updates to see if I can narrow down the culprit.

Looks like I have a long job ahead of me..... sigh!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kefje27:
I got the same issue, after maps update, but apparently It's got to do with use wifi for determining your location, if i switch this off , tablet connects fine after returning from sleep.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
Mine has nothing to do with Maps and it's doing this continuous polling even when woken from Plane Mode and then trying to switch wifi back on.

I have a theory and am looking at it.... Will report back later.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordNickerchen:
Any news yet?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
Yes, I've worked out what the problem for me was and was just coming back to report when I read your post....

Basically for me it is to do with Settings/Wireless & Networks/Wifi Settings/Wifi Disconnection Policy.

After I updated to 3.2.1 I changed the policy from 'Never (uses more battery power)' to 'When screen is tuned off'.

Thinking about it the problem has only been since I changed the policy.

So, I changed it back to 'Never' and the wifi remained on and the problem I was getting disappeared.

I then changed it back to 'When screen is tuned off' and the problem came back.

I then altered it to 'Never when plugged in' with the TF not plugged in and the problem was still there.

Plugging the TF in and the problem disappeared.

Only by changing it back to 'Never' when not plugged in does my wifi remain on ~ which if you think about it is exactly what it is meant to do.

Therefore, for me it would appear changing the policy to turn off the wifi is causing this issue of when you wake the phone up from sleep you can not reactivate the wifi and when looking at the wireless settings the whole of the right hand page of wireless settings are continuously flashing thus not allowing you to access and alter them.

At that point the only way you can reactivate wifi is by doing a power down and reboot.

So guys...... Has anyone else noticed the wifi disconnection policy effecting your wifi from sleep?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FSB:
Mine stopped reconnecting again last night, the tablet would continuously reboot.

The only solution was to reboot the router.

I will try the keep on and I have turnoff wifi location.

Lets see
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
How did you get on with changing the wifi disconnection policy?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FSB:
Changing the disconnection policy never worked, note sure if this is the best solution, as I recon it will drain the battery.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
Interesting.... as it is the only way I can get a stable WiFi that will turn back on from Screen Off.

Even though it says the battery may use more power it doesn't seem all that much different if anything at all... Prior to the latest update I had the policy set to 'When screen is tuned off'.

After the update it defaulted back to 'Never (uses more battery power)' and again after changing it back to 'When screen is tuned off' this is when my problem started.

I am thinking this is something to do with my TF as no one else has reported a problem with WiFi and the 'When screen is tuned off' policy.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FSB:
I just re-read my post.

It should read

Changing the disconnection policy to "never". Worked.

Note sure if this is the best solution, as I recon it will drain the battery.

Sorry.

What you describe is exactly what happened to mine.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
Thanks.... This now makes a lot of sense in that it points to a possible bug with the WiFi policies.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tn8shooter:
This is driving me crazy. I have tried everythinig mentioned, but my TF still goes through the wifi connection loop. Gotta be software related...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
Did you try changing the Wifi disconnection policy to 'Never (uses more battery power)'?

That sorted it out for me.

It's since Honeycomb 3.2.1 came in I now find I can not use any other disconnection policy.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snakkles:
This happens to me if I select anything other than "Never (uses more battery power)"

I have found though that if I uninstall the google maps update, and deselect Wifi Localization, that I can have the TF set to "Never when plugged in" or "When screen is turned off".

( see: google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=4778cb9a3f187b75&hl=en ) (sorry for broken link - I am new and cannot post these)

So it seems like either a problem with Google maps (that may be specific to the TF), or a problem with the TF firmware?
