[Android Apps and Games] Slimboball:
Do you mean Hide Binary & then uninstall SU app?

That still didn't work.

I actually think it might be working, it's just I'm getting a Wi-Fi/3G error now, not the usual rooted error, so not managed to stream anything just yet.

[Android Apps and Games] Slimboball:
Yes, I can confirm that this method now works for me too :)

I had to uninstall & Re install the SKY Go app, but all is fine now. Tried live tv & also On Demand and both worked! :)

A simple workaround & the only hassle is giving permissions back to your rooted apps in SU after Re installing it.

Thanks mate.

I use DataSync+ to backup and restore SuperSU settings. It is a paid app but is the only app I have found that allows you to backup SuperSU.

I'll be honest, I haven't read into this thread as much as I should, so forgive me if im totally off the plot.

I couldn't find anyway to get a working APK of Sky Go on my HTC Evo 3D or Flyer.

I then simply downloaded the newest Sky Go APK (version 3.1.1) on my HTC One, and transferred it to the Evo 3D and Flyer, and both now work fine.

Ive attached the APK if anyone wants it :)

Works fine on my Xperia Z, stock 4.2.2. I also had to re-install Sky Go, but now, up yours, Sky :good:

Anyway we could get one app/script that does all the necessary to get Sky Go working with one click?
[Android Apps and Games] TheIntruder:
Crack on.... Let me guess we means get someone else to do it.. Doubt it would be possible tbh

No way of running it on my Nexus 4 running PA due to it having SU app integrated into the rom, hiding apps don't see it :S
[Android Apps and Games] dsdavis6:
Well, I was asking if it was actually possible? If it was I would be more than happy to pay a donation for it, but yes you would be right in thinking I am not capable of it myself.
[Android Apps and Games] sheepybach:
TBH if it could've been done it would have as The Intruder said. Sadly there was a apk for phones not on Sky's whitelist and Sky went all out to block this, which they succeeded in doing, they seem to spend more time working on blocking devices than adding them. Surprisingly they know about the N10 being spoofed for the N7 and so I understand the Tab also, but have openly stated they have no problem with this and will not block it. IMHO sky should let the app into the wild and therefore get people who know what they are doing sort it out for sky. I think the questions now to Sky should be WHY there is no app 10" android tabs and other devices, as it's not the reasons they are/have been giving for the last 2 yrs.

Hi all,

I tried to read as many pages as I can but couldn't find the information I need.

Anybody managed to make it working on Samsung S4 without subscription? If yes please let me know how.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] dave_uk:
Clarify what you mean by "without subscription".
[Android Apps and Games] smartkhan:
Means without sky subscription. Just install the Sky Go app and there you go. :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] Slimboball:
That's never going to happen. You will always need a subscription for the premium channels.

You may be able to get Sky News without subscription, but that will be all.

Sky go working on rooted s-off htc m7

I managed to get sky go to work on my htc one (m7), I did the root and soff in my own roundabout way picking bits from here and there. When I initially tried sky go I got the rooted device error, after installing and running hide my root app it worked first time. Worth noting I used the all in one root kit to get root and root checker showed root but no super user app was showing in my apps list. Not sure if this will be of any use to anybody else but thought Id put it up just in case

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] dabossman:
Gents,

I have a Cyclone Android x2 TV box, and have currently spoofed it to a Galaxy Nexus which allows me to install and run Sky Go.

However, I cannot stream due to the "root" error.

I have tried using HideMyRoot app, but this is not working for me. I can select Hide SU Binary, but am unable to uninstall SU app because I do not have one installed.

Is this simply a case of me needing to install the SU App or more complicated than that?

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers

[Android Apps and Games] TheIntruder:
Sounds like the position I'm in with my Nexus 4 running PA due to it having a SU app built in to the rom thus hiding root apps can't detect it..

Don't think there is anything can be done about it at least I have not found a way...

Update on Android Tablets

Following on from my previous post on this issue, I am pleased to share our plan for supporting Sky Go on Android Tablets.

Given the amount and complexity of the work involved, we are delivering this in a phased approach. This approach will prioritise providing a good quality content viewing experience ahead of UI changes such as making better use of the screen and enabling landscape mode.

Phase 1 - Interim Solution for Tablets

Creating a tablet specific application that runs on Android 4.0 and above

Integrating this application with a different streaming technology that supports higher resolution streams, suitable for large-screen devices

Modifying the application code such that it will display correctly on a large screen device [but this will still be restricted to portrait format only at this time]

Enabling access to a specific set of Tablet devices that we have been able to test against.

Phase 2 - Integrated Solution

Integrating the above changes into a single application shared with other Android devices.

Removing the ‘Tablet only’ application.

Phase 3 - Complete Solution

Rewriting the application code to enable it to automatically scale to the screen sizes

Developing a landscape implementation of the UI

Improved UI

Our current estimated timing for these phases is as follows:

Phase 1: Customer Beta by end September. Launch early November

Phase 2: Customer Beta January 2014

Phase 3: Early Summer 2014

In the Beta trial for Phase 1 our goal is to support devices from Samsung, Asus, Google Nexus, and Sony. The customer beta will be accessible via Sky Go’s Google+ group, and a link will be made available via the Sky Help Forum before the trial begins.

As new tablets are launched between now and Xmas, we will do our best to enable access to Sky Go on as many of these as we can, as soon as we can.

Thank you for your patience while we worked through the phases outlined above.

Better than nothing. At least the Google+ beta's are easy to get on.

The approach the should have took 3 years ago. Nexus' & popular devices first. Shame it took the idiots so long to realise.

[Android Apps and Games] sheepybach:
It's a great app as well HD streaming on all channels, very few android devices not supported, in fact it puts Sky's pathetic Sky Go to Shame big time IMHO
[Android Apps and Games] TheIntruder:
Shows even more how much sky are in apples pocket...

Bloody side of watching Sky news and shamelessly advertising the ipad with the exclusive tablet app... Grrrrr
[Android Apps and Games] Slymobi:
Just for info....

I've been having a chat with a lovely woman on BT chat and I asked if I just signed up for BT sports for my current sky account ( no broadband ) could I still access the BT sports app ?

Melissa says of course you can, your BT id will be your sky viewing pin and you will create the password when signing up.

so for £12 per month my dad gets BT sports at home on sky and I will get BT sports via my PC or the app via my phone.

If I have helped you....... Thank yourself for asking the question :)
[Android Apps and Games] skynogo:
Only if you have a listed device ... that's why I am asking ...
[Android Apps and Games] TheIntruder:
Err how did you help us? We knew all that they are signing people up for fun, want to bump your thanks you are seriously in the wrong thread.

This thread is old school xda one of the few left that isn't full of idiots!
[Android Apps and Games] Slymobi:
pmsl you are a moron and you seem to have a problem with me ? its not the 1st time. I've been here from the start so get your facts correct first.

The thanks thing is my signature and it means what it says....... meaning I don't want anybody to ever thank me, the thank button should not exist in my opinion because too many people are hunting for thanks !!!!! so again get your facts straight.

I was posting in regards to BT sport being available on the app even if you don't have BT broadband etc as it is not clearly stated on the BT web. so if you already knew fair enough but some like me might not have known.

I see no reason whatsoever for your attack and its once again unwarranted and inappropriate, you are a ignorant piece of work and are in your own words 1 of the few idiots here on xda.

Do one you fool.

[Android Apps and Games] sheepybach:
I believe BT put out that list just to show it will work on Android 10" Tabs as most of their customers were asking all the time and for whatever reason they didn't want to show their hand. Yes there are android devices not supported the main one's are Samsung Ace 11, BT are looking into this. the other's not working I've never heard off sorry lol. Goclever 974.2 tablet running 4.1.1 JB, Sumvision Cyclone 7in Dual Core some can get this to work but others can't, Sumvision Astra tab.

What device have you got?
[Android Apps and Games] SatAmnesiac:
Doesn't work on my Note or Note 10.1. On both (which are running 4.0.4 - so above the stated 4.0.3 required) I get an error:

"Unable to playback video – possible compatibility issues, please check Android OS version and upgrade.

VS011"

[& to avoid ppl telling me to upgrade to something else - I keep the Note at 4.0.4 because I can un-root/root easily when I want to watch SkyGo To me its a phone and I can live without the latest and greatest version of Android if the one I have does what I want - which apart from BT Sport.... it does :)]
[Android Apps and Games] sheepybach:
SatAmnesiac,

Now that is very odd indeed as at present I testing my son's OSG Tab 10.1 running ICS 4.0.4 and it is working like a dream, awesome quality stream No picture breakup, It's been going for a good few hours now. I know it works on Note 2 and Note 10.1 running JB 4.1.2. The error you are getting is that you are trying to watch more than 2 live streams. Have you updated the app to 1.0.4?? try that if not, I'm trying to find a few posts that have reported the app working on rooted devices.
[Android Apps and Games] wolfboy1984:
At least Beckham's hawking a Galaxy in the new one... If it was another iDevice my head would have exploded.

Beta programs, Nexus support and Samsung's in adverts. Maybe the tide is turning...
[Android Apps and Games] SatAmnesiac:
sheepybach

Yes I uninstalled and re-installed to be sure I had the latest version. It may be that I've disabled something somewhere- I've removed most of the Google guff from both devices, or it may be a difference between a Tab 10.1 and a Note 10.1.

As the 10.1 didn't have SkyGone as it wasn't worth the stress because spoofing with the device ID and rooting got me into a boot-loop on a couple of occasions when it did have SkyGone. So today I upgraded the 10.1 to 4.1.2 which was ever-rooted with mobile ODIN - and re-downloaded the BT Sports app... and it's working great while rooted.

[& even though it is working when rooted... I don't even feel an urge to "steal" the programs I've paid to watch! ;)]

[+ Edit]

I put my Note (N7000) back to completely stock 4.0.4 with ODIN; followed by a full factory reset. Downloaded BT Sports App... exactly the same error message.

I think it's a video driver thing as the sound plays for a second in the background while the error dialog box is being put up - so something is odd there somewhere.
[Android Apps and Games] Slymobi:
update to this.

BT sports are liars and false advertise there services and are worse than sky.

I've spent 5 hours ......( not exaggerating ) 5 whole hours....... being transfered here and there to finally be told outright that non BT customers can't access the online/app services.

you need a BT Id and password to view online/app service but to set up your BT Id and password you need an account number........ here is the problem and by just subscribing to BT sport on sky with no BT phone line or broadband ( we use orange for line and broadband) then you are a non BT customer so YOU DONT GET AN ACCOUNT so cannot register for a BT id and password.

you only get BT sport on your sky and no access to online/app service.

5 hours lol

what an absolute joke BT are.
[Android Apps and Games] SatAmnesiac:
[MENTION=3578926]slymobi[/MENTION]

Incompetent I'd tend to agree with, and can fully understand your frustration but liars & false advertisers... isn't that perhaps libellous?

I'd also be of the opinion that if one has a contract for a service (ie BT Sport) with BT one is a customer of theirs!

Anyway... that aside: I am in a similar position and have it working fine - here's how I got it to work for me:

I have Sky broadband and the only thing I buy from BT is BT Sports... I registered with BT for paperless billing and that bill comes to my email address from ebilling@bt.com. When I get my bill there is (almost) an account number on it - everything but the last few digits are ***ed out.

I figured I must have been given the full account number at some point but couldn't find it, however, I went to www.bt.com/mybt as while I didn't remember using or setting up an account perhaps I did, so I used the email they send the bill to as my user name, but couldn't get a password to work.

So figuring that it was worth a punt I used the "forgot your password" feature and asked for the password to be re-set...

I then got an email (to the billing email address) and was able to reset the password to something I wanted.

I could then log into my BT account and see all the information - and of course I am now able to use the BT app with the billing address email as my user-id and the password I chose after the re-set.

If you went for paper billing I assume the paper bill will have your account number on it and it will be a different process for you.

What is interesting is that in an ofcom review of pay TV customer service earlier this year BT had the WORST by miles of all the others, with more complaints from a much smaller subscriber base - so I'm not surprised that this simple bit of information eluded the people on their customer "service" line. Stories like yours remind me why I left them as a telephone and broadband supplier over 10 years ago. I imagine with the influx of new Sports subscribers their record of poor customer satisfaction will only get worse.
[Android Apps and Games] Slymobi:
I agree, if I'm liable then be it because the email I sent them was full of fury lol. I have subscribed to a service and like you say that makes me a customer. I said that to them but to no avail.

I've chosen paperless billing so I can only wait and see about this.

I tried the password reset but for some reason my security answer is not being recognised even though I have the answer in black and white from an email print off I took !!!

I was promised prior to my order by online chat Melissa that I would have access to the services I asked about, I have it also in black and white that these services are available to me on my order yet after 5 hours of being fobbed from 1 to another department including a senior manager I have still not been given access to these services.

its a total joke but at least my father has his BT sports on sky now. I left BT 1 year ago because of similar false promises on my broadband but that's a different story lol.

Something may develop and you have given some promising info that should help with getting my account details recognised.

Thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] sheepybach:
Now that is an odd as I said before, rooted Note 10 running ICS 4.0.4 will not work and yet update to JB 4.1.2 and still rooted and the app works, my son will not let me root his OSG Tab 10.1 to test it (it was my tab until a few weeks ago lol), Glad you have it working now.

slymobi,

What you was told by BT CS is indeed incorrect, it says on the website and under the legal stuff that for access to the online player and app "All BT broadband customers can use the app and player. You just need a BT ID and 12 months remaining on your contract". There is no option at present to pay to use the app if you have another ISP but I expect somewhere down the line BT may change this or maybe they will not.
[Android Apps and Games] SatAmnesiac:
[MENTION=3578926]slymobi[/MENTION]

ring them up and ask for your account number - tell them you're a BT customer with name x, at address y and you've got paperless billing and your account number isn't on the bill... see what happens!

Then if you've got an account number you should be able to set-up an id.

Worth a punt.

@sheepybach

Sadly my quick root/unroot trick doesn't work with 4.1.2 on the Note, so I can't get Sky Go and BT Sport on the same device!

I do have 4.1.1 for my Note, but, I believe it has (potentially) a kernel bug in it that can brick the device, but, I suspect the root/unroot I use will work with it, but, of course if I switch kernels to a safe one I suspect SkyGo will detect that and not work - sigh...

What I don't get is why do Sky make it sooo hard?

Clearly there are plenty of other organisations that share similar shareholders providing comparable services, eg Sky Italy, Foxtel etc who are not so draconian in their attitude to paying customers - I can only think someone in a senior position in Sky UK has talked themselves into a position where they see "backing down" would lose them "face" and "respect' - whereas in fact not having a sensible policy towards the people that pay your salary will in the end erode customer satisfaction and loyalty and eventually cost market position.

The interesting thing about all of this is that Sky's attitude is making think more and more about cancelling my subscription for various services eg movies as there's other cheaper options which will work on multiple devices, including my "smart" TV.

I also can see me moving my telephone and broadband and stopping some of the service packs I get from Sky... (the fact it's BT makes me hesitate, and we've just moved so I have 12 months of contract to run!)

While I'm not a fan of BT I am a fan of competition as a way of making organisations pay attention to customers and not internal politics.

Virgin seems to be managed by buffoons and so has never really been competition, but perhaps BT has the money and focus to be a competitive force which would be good.

Time will tell.

when I've got over the trauma of yesterdays comical situation I might try again. I'm managing to get as far as the password reset but still my security question isn't regognised. I may not have signed up for paperless because 1 of the emails I received says I need to register at mybt for paperless !!!! basically I can't do squat. BT sports is working fine on my dads sky though lol.

I'm positive I remember 1 CS representatives say he will post me my account number but I forgot to confirm that.

Thanks for your input and if I get success I will update you.

kind regards.

If I have helped you....... Thank yourself for asking the question :)
