Sky fcuked up!
[Android Apps and Games] sheepybach:
go

Just like sky they have now updated their now tv app to run on ICS but have not add any new devices just the 8.
[Android Apps and Games] eSSeMM:
The Sky Knowledge Advisors (guys capable of cut and paste, little else) have said there will be an announcement by the 'end of the week' on the devices and android versions that will be supported by the end of the month.

It has been announced that the Galaxy Nexus will be supported ... on ICS which makes the it obsolete even before it has been released. They will not answer any questions on Jelly Bean support.
[Android Apps and Games] Sinbad_NI:
Ref Nexus... WTF. They really are muppets, supporting now its upgraded.

They just wind me up trying to alienate their entire android user base.
[Android Apps and Games] gumbald:
Now that "Now TV" is a little more widespread, maybe they will have to take note, people won't subscribe to something that they can't get on their phone.

If everyone fills in the ASA form that would be good too I guess - they shouldn't be making claims they can't back up.
[Android Apps and Games] s2dh:
is there any way of getting Sky Go to work on Resurrection Remix v2.6 and Siyah v3.3.3?
[Android Apps and Games] sheepybach:
Go

You should know they will not answer any questions on there and don't prove them inept like i have as you will end up with a life ban from using the forum also my 85yr dad has the same ban. They are a waste of time. What's the betting no new devices will be added on the ICS update. Which I think will be 2mor and not the end of this month because from 6am friday till midnight sunday it's sky freepass weekend and the tv ad's for it are S3 phones lol. Should be fun day 2mor.

It looks like Sky has unblocked Sky Go as I now have it working on my stock S2 running ICS. My Tab is still no go, can't find any list with new phones add or anything as yet.

[Android Apps and Games] wolfboy1984:
Jellybean + hideroot the app won't even open! Lol. So I'm back to square 1.

Jellybean isn't a 'massive' upgrade (as GB to ICS was) and only a few changes would be needed by Sky to add compatibility...

So maybe this side of Xmas with a little luck? Or a least before Key Lime Pie, surely? :banghead:

reverting to ICS

hi

i have a g nexus, currently rooted on JB, im thinking of reverting back to ICS to get the sky go app working. My rom of choice previously was AOKP. if I revert back (and use a Hide root app obv) will this allow me to run the app as it is in the market??

thanks for you help guys, id rather not leave JB tho i do like the newer features

Can someone post the apk?

I think I'm not finding it because I'm in Spain...
[Android Apps and Games] Zammo76:
After getting a letter from Sky saying they were putting my bill up by £1.50 a month I decided to check Sky Go and it said the usual rubbish about needing to update my S3 to watch it. This time though it didn't try to update when I went to the market (so I assumed it'd done an update automatically) however when I went to play a channel it again came up with the update notification message. I tried this 'loop' a few times before uninstalling the app and doing a fresh install this time it actually worked, plus I also had access to the on demand stuff!

So as of the first time since the app was released (barring one day) I can actually watch Sky Go on my phone.

I guess it is a step in the right direction for Sky, but they still need to support Android tablets, so we're on a level playing field with Crapple and also give timely support for Jelly Bean.
[Android Apps and Games] combat goofwing:
Anyone got the new ics version working on the HTC one X I just get it not comparable surely if it works on the gs3 it should work on the one x
[Android Apps and Games] dave_uk:
Has anyone tried this on a rooted S3 but with a stock rom and kernel combo? I'm running stock rom rooted but with Ninphetamin3 kernel but I wonder if the kernel's the problem as it seemed to be with the previous version of the app.

Would help if we could isolate what the problem is.
[Android Apps and Games] combat goofwing:
Forget that the HTC one X is not supported unless gumball can work his magic again
[Android Apps and Games] Tonesav:
I updated to the latest version and it stopped working so i went and changed to stock ics same issue i eventually got it working today after i realised super user was still installed after removing the app it now works.

From this i guess you might determine that by having super user installed sky deem you as being a rooted device.

Working on S3 stock rom and HDMI out is too using the s3 hdmi adapter :)
[Android Apps and Games] daz_2000:
I'm on a rooted stock s3. not changed kernel and it's not working.
[Android Apps and Games] hardke01:
Yep same as me. Rooted S3 with stock rom and kernel. No dice, get the same old Sky error message of not allowing rooted phones. This is with or without temp-unroot.
[Android Apps and Games] Restorer:
Same on rooted Desire HD even on completely stock (though rooted) ROM. They seem to have us well and truly locked out this time . They say it's a requirement from the content providers - but they didn't have to try so damned hard!
[Android Apps and Games] gumbald:
Nobody's managed to get round the root check yet then?
[Android Apps and Games] Restorer:
Nope. HTCs and Samsungs all reporting the hide root apps no longer working.

ISTR the tool I used to root mine in the first place had an option to unroot which involved rebooting the phone so it might be doing more than just hiding SU. I'll have a play when I get home.
[Android Apps and Games] CR5N:
Had to unroot to get past loading toast (SuperSU disabled in menu didn't hide root). HML is detected anytime it is plugged in and video stops with a warning. At least it works again on ICS.

Using a cwm based (un)root method here on xda so can just root/unroot as required. Minor pain but saves flashing kernel/ROM.

Method 1 here works fine for me:

Its strange that the latest update hasn't added support for the HTC One X, as its one of the most popular new phones.
[Android Apps and Games] Stu|:
I've got a feeling that they may be checking for the backup su binaries from all the popular root hiding tools as well as the regular su binary.

I'm going to have some time tonight, so I'll have another crack at decompiling the apk and seeing what the hell they are doing. I'm sure someone has attached the apk to the thread for the latest version but I'm at work and can't spend too long on here. If somone could link me to the post that would be awesome :)

Probably spend most of the night trying to find a way around the root check.
[Android Apps and Games] Restorer:
Probably for the same reason they are not supporting non-iOS/Samsung tablets. They have managed to block MHL on these but seem to have more trouble doing that on straight hdmi-out devices.

The fact that any cheap laptop these days has HDMI-out that can't be blocked anyway seems lost on them :rolleyes:.
[Android Apps and Games] combat goofwing:
Gumbald do you think you can get around the device check on the new app would love to have it working on my one x
[Android Apps and Games] combat goofwing:
S3. Users say HDMI works on this app so figure that out
[Android Apps and Games] AdzUK:
AT LONG LAST ITS HERE... but it doesn't work on my stock ROM rooted S3. Rootkeeper doesn't work. Hope someone on here can fix it soon.
[Android Apps and Games] gumbald:
Can someone post the APK please?
[Android Apps and Games] hshah:
Here :)
[Android Apps and Games] Restorer:
Really? I assumed it worked the same as S2 which (a few posts up) someone says just cuts out when video detected.

If it works on the S3 then it makes even more nonsense of Sky's arguments against HTC One, Transformer etc.
[Android Apps and Games] Ruud00:
Ive downloaded the APK above but it says my device isnt supported , which i know it isnt because i have the acer liquid metal, i managed to get it working with the last APK months ago.

MHL i9300 - LG TV

Just tried Sky Go via MHL from my S3 (non-rooted, unbranded LFB) to my LG TV

I am getting the please remove the HDMI adapter pretty much every time I plug it in.

I have been able, by unplugging it and plugging it back in at different times of loading a channel, to get video on the TV and sound through the phone.

Has anyone had any joy with MHL? ANd if so can you provide your current setup?

I seen that this morning and I asked on the Facebook ICS group if someone could start a new thread on the Forum with the header as the thread lead but can see nobody has done so yet. Wish I was not banned from there lol. It is a crazy review and I don't know where they got their infrormation from as it's not correct. I was wondering if the reason Sky has not added the HTC one phones has anything to do with HTC saying yesterday that their update to Jelly Bean will be out soon???

[Android Apps and Games] wolfboy1984:
A bit OT...

I presume people are using Titanium Backup for flash player and iPlayer etc before they update to Jellybean.

Hi hope this helps as have just registered here to post this i have just uninstalled the otiginal apk at strt of this thread and installedthis test i have a samsung galaxy tab original on froyo i guess what you would call stock.

Media Streaming - A wifi or Internet data connection is required to use SkyGo

Hi,

I downloaded and installed the new .apk file supplied by gumbald onto my Motorola Xoom tablet ( thanks so much :@0), when I try to watch some of the streaming content I get a message box

Loading 0% to 100%, this doesnt update and I then get a message "Media Streaming and a warning symbol, Awifi or Internet data connection is required to use SkyGo and nothing plays back.

I am in a wifi hotspot and have a 3g connection, so am at a loss as to why this error is occuring, anyone else have this?
[Android Apps and Games] crazyteknohed:
Just tried the test-apk on my Moto Milestone 2 running MIUI. Managed to log in okay but all paid-for channels hang at 0% buffering (I did wait a while) and Sky News gives an error saying that I need to be connected to a network or on wifi (wifi is connected).
[Android Apps and Games] skezza:
It doesn't seem to work on SGS2 at the moment.

What I will say is make sure you Force Close the Sky Go app before running mine. Then run mine, apply fix, reopen Sky Go. I don't know if restarting would make a difference, but if you have anything on boot I wouldn't recommend it.

I'll have to see if I can borrow an SGS2 and work out why it doesn't work.

Also make sure you give it chance for the stream to load, they can be a teeny bit slow.

Sadly hiding root didn't work on my Rooted DesireHD running Android Revolution 6.3.2. thanks for letting me try.

OK, i know why it isn't working on SGS2 now. I'll need to get my hands on an SGS2 to fix it though.

---------- Post added at 09:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 PM ----------

I also know why it isn't working on custom ROMs, this might be a very specific fix for a certain type of root tbh. Like I said, I wasn't sure if it would work. Luckily, I've had no-one turning round saying I killed their device :)

Let me keep investigating, I am confident I can get this working though. Keep the faith :D

I may have a way of making it work on SGS2 but its only a workaround really, let me just have a quick think :)

Dont uninstall just yet :P
[Android Apps and Games] x2srj:
Whereabouts are you, I could lend you mine? I understand the risks...
[Android Apps and Games] skezza:
Well I might have another way round it, so dont uninstall just yet :P
[Android Apps and Games] jamsie:
no worries, happy to help
[Android Apps and Games] skezza:
OK, does everyone here have root explorer? What I want you to do is look at the R/W permissions on their system AFTER running my fix. My app is performing a mod so R/W permissions are necessary. They should be R/W, but I have a feeling they are only read-only on a lot of devices. Please let me know. Like if you use root explorer, run my app, press the top button, then open it up and look at the top, if it says mount R/O then it's R/W, if it says mount R/W then it's still read only.

If they do say mount R/W that means its still mounted as R/O. Mount it as R/W and run my fix again. It might not work because I've coded a mount command which may undo it, but just try for me people :D

firstly appologies for my crap spelling im using a poot touch screen keyboard on my tablet in portrait not the best for chunky fingers as a further update i have also tested wuth wifi turned off it gives an error message about turn wifi on but if you ignore this and cancel warbing rather than go in to settings to turn on wifi it will pick up 3g signal but looks like it may hang at 0% give it a few seconds and it loads up although slow to pick up good quality resoultion

big thanks to gumbold again and every one for working on thos

For me titanium does not work it says root required so the unroot must be working but it is still picking up something preventing the stream load

[Android Apps and Games] Fryingsheep:
I just had a look at the apps page on the play store and it has this info regarding the Nexus and Jellybean.

**We are currently testing support for the Jelly Bean operating system on the Galaxy Nexus; we hope to release in the near future following successful testing completion. In the meantime customers who choose to upgrade to Jelly Bean will not be able to stream content through the Sky Go app until the operating system can be fully supported.**
[Android Apps and Games] smoothy666:
please dont shoot me down here, iv gone through god knows how many post here,cant seem to work anything out. I have a sensation , its running arhd 6.7, im on 3.33 fw iv just downloaded from the app store the updated skygo . I am now actually able to log in as ics is now supported, so iv tryed using vodoo rootkeeper. It still wont work, says im still rooted. iv clear cache and all, still does not work. Im using su, is this the problem? Or is there a hacked skygo some where lol
[Android Apps and Games] AdzUK:
The latest Sky Go app now detects a phone is rooted even when you try to hide it using for example, OTA rootkeeper. I think most of us with rooted phones are now waiting for a fix for this. Let's hope Gumbald manages it, I think he did it the first time.

Personally I don't understand why Sky are so concerned if a phone is rooted, it's not like you can hack the app, you still need a valid Sky package/account to log in with.
[Android Apps and Games] AMoosa:
It even stops you if you perm unroot the phone. You have to start from scratch and do a full wipe.
[Android Apps and Games] fluidz:
Why would they want to stop access via rooted handsets?

Maybe to stop people recording the content on their phones and hosting it via a server for others to watch?
[Android Apps and Games] flumpster:
That theory doesn't make sense tho. I can watch sky go on my computer and grab it far easier with screen grabbing software (like fraps) than I ever could on a phone.
[Android Apps and Games] AdzUK:
Couldn't you just do that with any cheap laptop anyway?

Edit: ^ Flumpster beat me to it.

Sky are a useless bunch of t0$$3rs is the actual reason. I am probably going to get a Nexus 7 soon, but that comes with Jelly Bean so no Sky Go for me on that either. News of Jelly Beans release will probably make its way to Sky in 6 months from now, if the ICS app is anything to go by.
[Android Apps and Games] mcdevtingz:
Mine works finally!!!

I just removed root from the extweaks app on Siyah kernel!

Finally been waiting 2 years
[Android Apps and Games] Audio Oblivion:
Removing root didn't work for me.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note running stock 4.0.3 that was rooted using CWM running off the sd card.

Uninstalling SuperUser and "permanently" removing root still resulted in the app complaining that my device was rooted.

I'm guessing that I would need to reflash and do a full wipe but I can't because I think the stock ROM I have has the infamous mmc cap erase brick bug.

The 4.0.4 update for Note may solve my issues but no UK release yet.
[Android Apps and Games] rovex:
This app completely sucks and none of Skys excuses about ICS/JB, hardware compatibility or rooting make any sense whatsoever. They are simply Apple biased and someone in their software dept who's making these decisions is a complete ****tard.
[Android Apps and Games] sheepybach:
Sky

I understand that I'm a thick stupid Welshman who likes sheep to much and so I'm at a lost for a reason when Sky are not moving along with Android Tablets for Sky Go and NOWTV apps. Every reason they have given as to why they will not allow/permit Tablets have been shot down in flames, Market share is to low very few people have them, Content providers say no tablets (ipad), Security as people can hack them and get hold of your Sky Information, and the best of all HDMI out is a very big no no and sky can't allow this due to DRM? really the S3 works HDMI out.

I just wish they would tell the truth. Rant over
