There's a version 0.1.5 more recently and a plethora of methods available for transferring it to your device. You could try e-mailing it to yourself, using AirDroid or dragging and dropping while it's plugged into your computer and appearing as a removable drive.

i have been using sky go test 1.5 apk on my un rooted p1000 but then all or a sudden i am getting devise not supported. i think sky are on to us as it was working about an hour ago. Ianyone else having the same probs
[Android Apps and Games] commanderaj:

Damn Sky!!!
[Android Apps and Games] sheepybach:
sky

I had a tx from my son saying the same thing last night about his phone is now unsupported. So does look like if sky has worked hard to stop this from happening. They need to be in control. Dull thing is that Sky should be happy other people can use their service but alas not look that way.

[Android Apps and Games] ddrinkwater:
Yup just got the same on my Nexus S on 2.3.6 (non rooted), although this was the first time I tried it for a while.

You read sky's text and the reason they haven't released for more models is because of all different players blah blah, but why block access when it did work, just seems mean ;-0

I also was using the test apk.

Any ideas gratefully received!
[Android Apps and Games] CR5N:
Just tried the test app after the last few comments and still working on my HD2. I really hope sky don't rip me off a second time (I begrudge paying them but want to watch the f1) and pull a fast one by clamping down even more and stop the 'go'.

Tablet S

Hi,

I ended up here at this thread from a thread on hotukdeals!

I installed the apk file on my Sony Tablet S and all went well.

Logged in with my Sky user-id but no matter which channel i choose (within my Sky package, no movies) it says unknown error.

So close yet so far.

Any advice please?
[Android Apps and Games] bobjbain:
Just tried it on my HD2 as well, thought I'd watch the cricket whilst I worked

And whilst the SkyGo app works I wish I hadn't bothered now...
[Android Apps and Games] johnson1103:
it seems to be working again now. it also went down on my laptop last night with a msg say sky go is upgrading please they again in a few hours so it might have something to do with that.

Have you tried adding an IMEI number to your tablet? Every mobile phone has one and Sky Go checks to see if your device has one, if not it doesn't work.

I have added a random one to my Xoom, using a program posted on this thread, but apparently it needs a legitimate one (which you can take from an old phone) and consequently its still not working.

RickWyatt sent me these instructions on how to do it but I am yet to try them (but even with doing this it might not work):

I did it manly go here

http://code.google.com/p/smali/downloads/list

And download

baksmali-1.3.2.jar rename to baksmali.jar

smali-1.3.2.jar rename to smali.jar

Make a folder on desktop drop the two jar files in to it then open cmd and cd to it then open framework.jar with winrar or 7zip move the classes.dex to the same folder that the two jar files then type this

Java -jar -Xmx512M baksmali.jar classes.dex

then you will see a folder in the folder you made you see a folder called out then look for a file called android\telephony\TelephonyManager.smali

Then open it note + and look for the imie number that the imie tool gave you eg 00

Then replace it with the real imie then save and exit then type this into cmd

java -jar -Xmx512M smali.jar out

This will produce a file called out.dex. and rename it to classes.dex then open 7zip and over wite the original file
[Android Apps and Games] pjg_pigeon:
Thanks for the suggestion, but in my case I have a streak 5 which is a 'phablet' so as I understand it, the imei should not be the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] sheepybach:
No your Tablet may not need an IMEI number but the Sky Go app does need 1 to work as Zammo has said it's 1 of the checks sky have build into the app.

IMEI check

It suprises me that, if Sky are checking the IMEI is valid, that they don't check that the IMEI belongs to one of their "authorised" models!

The first 8 digits of your IMEI are your phone's Make and Model.

If anyone wants a valid IMEI I can provide the first 8 digits of any make or model that you so desire, the next 7, I guess, can be random.
[Android Apps and Games] Zammo76:
Could you post up the first eight digits for a Samsung Galaxy S2?
[Android Apps and Games] bobjbain:

35531004, 35837304, 35830604, 35795704, 35797404, 35815004, 35995904, 35849004, 35853704, 35937204, 35958504, 35886504, 35884804, 35965104, 35977804, 35902104, 35909004, 35182205, 35216605, 35237405, 35260505
[Android Apps and Games] Zammo76:
Thanks. This might be the reason why the IMEI number I generated for my Xoom didn't work, as it was just a totally random one.

But then again does Gumbalds hack disguise the IMEI number of unsupported phones as if not it doesn't explain how they are working still?
[Android Apps and Games] ddrinkwater:
aghh what are sky doing now!!

Sky Go stopped working again, went to watch the cricket today and it now has just started sitting on 0/100 on the sports channels.

New's does working ok though as others previously reported.

Anyone else suddenly stopped ? Or does it still work ? I am still using 0.1.3 test apk on my un rooted Nexus s.

Wanted to check for anyone else also suffering before i looked at upgrading to 0.1.5 which i saw an earlier post provide somewhere.

I hope sky haven't found a way to block was really loving having sky go on phone!!!

I was watching the cricket all this morning on my HD2 (using 0.1.5)

Just tried again now and the Wrestling is working (Cena rocks!!)
[Android Apps and Games] Restorer:
I think the app is getting a little flaky just now. I was watching the cricket on the bus this morning (I'll never get over being able to say that :D) when it just crashed (the app, not the bus ;)).

When I rebooted and tried to reconnect, first it said wrong PIN. Never had that before. I rebooted phone once again and then it worked fine. Odd. Maybe they are doing some poking around?

Using stock Froyo Desire HD ROM with OTA Rootkeeper and latest official download from Sky.
[Android Apps and Games] bothered:
where is 0.1.5 APK may I ask?
[Android Apps and Games] ddrinkwater:
ok worked out it a little bit, the 0.1.3 test apk worked ok with wifi on, it just stopped working with 3g. upgraded to verision 0.1.5 test apk and seems to now be working ok with wifi and 3g.

so not sure what possible changes sky could of done to prevent the 3g working, but ties in with a lot of reports for intermitent performance. Let's just hope it stays working, as it's great watching the cricket at work ;-)

I finally have Sky Go working on my Wifi Xoom!

Not through the stupid app though. I downloaded Splashtop Remote which is free on Getjar or available here:

http://www.megashare.com/3816036

Then I just remotely connected to my laptop and ran Sky Go and it works brilliantly and I have audio and its pretty smooth.

The picture quality is probably slightly worse than the app but I can live with that and plus I have access to a lot more than the poxy 4 channels I would have through the app (if it worked).

It works on a rooted Desire if you use nandroid to go back to a stock 2.2 ROM backup (someone has posted a link to this in this thread) and then use Voodoo OTA to hide root.

I've just manually flashed the GSM Galaxy Nexus 4.0.4 update and can't get SkyGo to work anymore, has anyone else experienced the same issue?

Previously, it worked on 4.0.2 with root hidden via SuperSU and with the stock kernel.

I'm running the stock kernel for 4.0.4 and again, have root hidden with SuperSU and both the 1.3 and 1.5 versions do not work.
[Android Apps and Games] _pigro_:
well I should have been more doubting - I just routed my internet traffic from Spain back to my UK VPN and the skygo app simply detects that the phone connection is roaming internationally and refuses to stream. D'oh! that was so obvious I failed to consider it :-( Anyone know how hard it would be to obscure the roaming status (or kludge the apk to bypass or spoof that check?)

EDIT: to answer my own question, just remove SIM and skygo works fine outwith UK over VPN

I'm running latest MCR kitchen build IR13 on my Galaxy Nexus, have Sky Go installed, can sign in, it recognises that I can load up Sky Sports however it gets stuck on 0% when loading. I used SuperSU to hide root and am not sure if it is the kernel or something else that won't let me watch it.

Hi LennyUK,

From reading various bits of postings on the forum it appears that the Skygo app will run on pretty much any android device (2.2 or 2.3) but when you try to log into skygo, the app sends the device type and OS to sky who then check to see if its "one of thier approved devices" before sending back a message saying that the device is unsupported. Surely there must be a way of faking the reply from the app and spoof sky into thinking your running 2.2 on a HTC??

Im running the app on a Archos HT V2 running HvdW custom rom (Froyo) and the app runs fine until i try to log in...

Thanks

Action

Sky are not listening, in fact they couldn't care less, they have made their bed with Mac and they are fast asleep. I own a Dell Streak 5 of which there are over 1 million units sold in the UK. They told me that they do not support this device and have no intention of supporting it either. I pay between 75-100 pounds per month for my Sky subscription, if only half the DS5 users boycott Sky for a month or made some kind of similar action then they would be 35-50 million pounds down on monthly turnover....how many Android phone units do you think there are in the UK, tens of millions, much more than iOS. The only way we are going to get Sky to listen is by pooling resources and tackling them en mass, any ideas?...maybe we should open another thread on this.

Just a thought...

What if every unsupported Android user rang Sky and cancelled a particular package of their subscription e.g. entertainment, sports, lifestyle, movies or news etc. They always ring you back or ask you to complete a survey to ask you why you did that and when they do let them know that you are taking affirmative action because they will not support your device on SkyGo. If it is organised and enough people start doing it then they would be forced to take note and do something about it...nobody likes to lose money or have disgruntled customers, especially in these times!

What Sky should always remember is that without OUR subscription they have no product, maybe we should offer them a timely reminder.
