Google movies do work on rooted devices, but they're not supposed to. If you look at the amazon/kindle system, they learned early on that root check is possible as a means of DRM control, but ultimately developed workarounds.

As far as the reason for the restrictions go, it's not a far cry to jump from hooking up HDMI to watch on your larger TV screen to hooking up to a projector and performing the movie in front of a crowded theater/auditorium.

Yes, it was possible to do the same thing with physical media in the past, but this is the direction digital DRM is going in. It's a very different story from the move of digital music to being DRM-free - there's no such thing as a standard mobile video player or file format to force publishers to release their grip the way there was for mp3.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benefit14snake:
Annnnnnnddddd this is the reason I will continue not to buy or rent movies.

When ps3 came out I bought about 10 blu-rays per month.

When Netflix came out I happily bought my subscription.

Well guess what.... haven't bought a blu-ray in probably about a year and a half and haven't had netflix for about 6 months.

Why? Because I feel like they treat us like criminals.

Even TV is ridiculous, few months ago I had thrown back a couple beers. I moved away from my hometown and was feeling football home sick. So I grab the remote and go to the NFL network so I could watch the packers. It says click here to order, so I click. Now it says call the 1800 number... so I sigh and call Verizon, thinking in 5 minutes ill be able to watch the game. After a long argument with the rep I hung up and illegally streamed it from an unnamed website.

Why? Well, to get the NFL network its $50 per year. No sweat I get to watch my team in high definition, good stuff.

Not really....

To get the NFL network I have to not only buy the NFL ticket, I also have to buy some premium package for another $10 per month. I told the rep that I didn't need other package and she said that was the only way to get the game.

So you know what? F?!# Verizon F?!# NFL and F?!# the movie and music industry.

I won't buy into this bulls?!# and I will continue to pirate away and only support my favorite artists.

If they spent half the money they spend on anti piracy on quality of product or ease of access then their profit margins would go way up.

Or.. lower prices and get higher volume, but I prefer higher quality.

Flame on.

Dude, thats awesome and exactly how I feel. No flame coming from me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wokka00:
Not saying it's right, wrong, or otherwise. I was just explaining the reasoning behind the unlikeliness of seeing this particular type of DRM disappear anytime soon. Video will (probably) always get ripped to a DRM-free version, but it won't usually start there as a native format.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benefit14snake:
Oh no worries. I'm nit arguing with anything anyone here said. I just read over it and instantly got frustrated. Between the experiences I've had and all this sopa crap its getting out of control. Everyone is so paranoid about piracy now a days no one remembers how to make content worth buying.

My wife and I loved the movie hangover, it was hilarious. We rented the hangover 2 the other day and watched about 25 minutes before turning it off. I mean I felt like we were watching the same movie.

Although I did find the new eminem and coldplay album to be pretty awesome. Bought both through google play.

Sorry didn't mean to derail this thread I just feel very strong about the lack of quality content compounded by the ever increasing security and stipulations.

Meanwhile steam is the only content provider that GETS IT.

Is there anywhere to find rentals that will work on HDMI out?

We all know that HDMI works on our tablets but is there anywhere to find movie rentals that our Prime can stream out to an HDMI TV? The family is leaving on a vacation and it would be nice to watch some movies on the TV in the room.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wokka00:
That'll be rough. IIRC. digital video rentals tend to require HDCP-compliant hardware at all junctures - the device, the display, and the cable must all be HDCP. So while you might be able to play Play Movies on your tablet, getting them to work on a TV might not work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] EasyEEE:
All I can suggest is to try it. I had read into it via same link posted, that it should work...

So I tried it and rented Harry Potter 1 a few weeks ago. Only audio came through the HDMI. Movies stored on my Prime displayed on the hotel TV just fine. Just not the rented movie from Google Play Store..

Good luck.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jfarinella:
Unfortunately, Google movies do not work - audio only. I can copy a DVD to my PC, turn it into a high res MPG, move it to my prime and it will play on any TV but I can't rent a movie from Google and watch it on my TV. That is ridiculous.

Come on people! With so many very smart individuals out there why hasn't someone found a software workaround for this problem?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DocSavag:
Ran into this problem myself over the weekend. This is a software issue with the Prime. Using the same TV and same Google Play version (and the same movie) I was able to play it perfectly using my Galaxy Nexus PHONE. I have also successfully done the same thing using my Xoom tablet. Disappointing to say the last.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] phree1:
How did you get video out from your Galaxy Nexus? I got a brand new one last week and it does not have an HDMI.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wpghtc:
It does have HDMI.

You need a USB/MHL Adapter. It plugs into the micro usb port on the bottom of the phone and gives you HDMI out. The only caveat is that you need to have the Wall charger connected to supply power.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ready2Mosh:
You can get the MHL adapter on monoprice for $10 and change
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] phree1:
Thanks you two. I had no idea!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bluh5d:
Does anyone know where if you rent a movie and download it for viewing offline what directory it is stored in on internal memory or the file extension?

Thanks,
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bluh5d:
Ok I finally figured out where it is stored. So I temp unrooted my phone made purchase and then selected download for offline viewing. So in the directory there is a file

application_4jSa8szMNjs.wvm

so i brought my root back to get into that directory then where i was stumped i figured it would be wmv mp4 3gp or whatever with drm protection but no its wvm I have never heard of wvm. so anyways I moved the wvm file to a different directly. Temporarily unrooted my phone . Then went into the google play movie app and it said that the download was missing. so i know I have the proper file. Now my question is does anyone here know anything about a .wvm file ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] neonjcv:
IIRC, the *.wvm file comes from "Widevine ABR", which is what Google is using as DRM+ABR solution for their movies.

MPAA, RIAA, all I can say about those illicit f#$%@$ is:

If you want to, try this.

Get a dvd or bluray.

grab yourself a copy of Slysoft AnyDVD.

Grab CloneDVD or Handbrake

Anydvd breaks the protection between the dvd hardware.

Put any DVD or Bluray you want in and then open handbrke and make your copy to what ever format you wish.

take that file and send away...

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stewee64:
playing google movies on big screen

I had the same problem with a rented movie. In the end what I did was go to onto my laptop (play.goole.com/movies), hook this up to the TV via HDMI and watch it that way.

I don’t think this a copyright issue after all the google help on movies even tells you to get a micro HDMI to HDMI cable and hook it up to your TV. Also why can you transfer it TV from a laptop but not a tablet? It must surely be covered under the same copyright laws.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ShelW:
Really weird!

Just last week, I wanted to watch an older movie with my son. Checked NetFlix, the movie was available for instant download. I attached my Transformer Prime to my large screen T.V., and it streamed and played nearly flawlessly!

In the two hours plus movie, I believe twice is hesitated for just a fraction of a second, then continued on it's way....and the image was very good!

Haven't rented from Google, but this would probably keep me from wanting to in the future.

[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Hey I'm using the same ROM like you. Try to restart your wifi hotspot or router. I think this will solve your problem. Also you could try to clean install the ROM (wipe etc..) And use the latest 5.1.

Your wifi should work then

You should just reflash the reaper ROM.. Will sort you out.. I can understand why you would want that fix... The desire s wifi chip is crap... I've got a 100mb connection when wired in to my pc... If I walk 20 yards away into the kitchen my wifi loses the hub... HTC should put better wifi chips on their phones
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tacopimp:
So when I boot in recovery mode, I can't seem to just easily scroll through the options with the up and down volume rocker. It just jumps like 4 or 5 items when I hit the button once. And when I push the power button to try and select something it doesn't work. I push the power button and the little Rom Manager icon shows up. If I click it again it just goes right back to the menu. Anyone else have this issue?

EDIT: fixed

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oddlou:
I made a backup first, just in case.

Then I used Root Explorer to replace the e-mail and exchange apks (delete the old ones, you have a backup anyway) in system/app.

Long press on the new versions, change permissions to have all three sections (owner, group, others) checked for read, only owner for write, and none for execute or special permissions. Should look like this:

x x o

x o o

x o o

o o o

Then, settings menu, applications, go into e-mail and exchange and clear data and cache.

Restart and enjoy aosp e-mail.

I have some problems with the tablet mentioned in the post subject. First of all I rooted it today using gingerbreak. It worked. But still using market unlocker it does not change the original market code. The second problem is that when I installed yahoo messenger and the video plugin ... making a video call or a voice call is not working. Using the same version of andoid 2.3.3 and yahoo messenger with video and voice plugin as above (1.6.0)on a LG Optimus one not rooted it works perfectly. Can anyone help me to make it work... or install a custom rom that will make at least the video calling and voice work on yahoo messenger.

P.S. I must specify that using Skype with video calling it works, but only audio. On yahoo doesn't work either of them voice or video.

Anyone please! At least can you provide me with a custom rom and the stepts to install it .. Because now I saw that even I managed to install Adobe flash player 11.1 it seems that it is not working. And I guess that many of the applications are not working because of this fact.

Herpderp, that's because it doesn't exist. It's either a EUR firmware installed on it. The only difference is it has your carrier's APN and SIM which is why it's considered t-Mobile. You can use any firmware on the tablet, considering it's EUR region and not asian.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kenzibit:
Wow, just read an interesting new

http://wmpoweruser.com/microsoft-re...to-second-gen-handsets-probably-to-first-gen/

Perhaps all devices will get the Apollo update. What do you think??
[Windows Phone 7 General] prohibido_por_la_ley:
It's what I've been saying the entire time. Why wouldn't they get the update? There really isn't much difference between 1 and 1.5 Gen devices.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dinchy87:
yeah but what if microsoft tricks all of us, and with the apollo update comes for 3rd gen devices that are coming later this year. because of one fact, if they will "port" windows 8 to a phone, there is not enough memory (RAM) on the now available wp7 phones, they all have "only" 512 mb or 486 or 256... i think theyre are making a secret out of it because they are launching 3rd gen device that can have a windows 8 system on it. thats just a thought...
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
Why should Windows Phone 8 need more RAM than Windows Phone 7 or 7.5 does? oO Windows Phone 8 != Windows 8, even if they share the same kernel, or at least parts of it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Fuzzy John:
And if it does come to gen 2 devices, will AT&T treay it the same as they did 7740 and 8107?
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
It's not logical to think that first-gen won't run WP8.

They keep dumbing down the standards (the minimum requirements), I guarantee their 3rd gen WP8 handsets are going to be sub-par, and go after the middle of the road market.

Think less quad-core, and more feature-phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
To say Microsoft has dumbed down Windows Phone to accomodate "feature phones" is not a true statement.

Give me the changes to the specs made to Windows Phone. Here is the list

One feature moved from mandatory to optional is camera. That would have nothing to do with low end vs high end but to facilitate businesses that do not allow cameraphones.

Another feature is the Tango 256MB. And unlike Android, there is no performance penalty from running 256MB, there is an app penalty.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pikacz:
MS can't afford to go the android way and stop supporting a bit older phones, because lots of users would walk away from their OS. i love wp7 very very much, but if i won't get the update on my mozart, i'll stop supporting them entirely
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kenzibit:
Yeah, same here!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dinchy87:
because i have tested it, windows phone 7 uses around 120-250mb sometimes more... with normal use, wlan, and 4-5 background tasks, and gsm. windows 8 uses far more, around 500mb minimum. and not a single app is running. then run something like IE with two or more tabs open, there goes your RAM or 512mb... so that the reason why i think microsoft make it like iphone and make an whole new device, with newer specs...

the second is. that some of the 1gen. devices dont have gyroscope and some other sensors that are used now in the 2nd generation dev. and what comes till end of this year the 3rd. gen. i think they will have just betters specs than 1st. and 2nd. ge. devices. plus more RAM and better processors. better screen resolutions and more...

Back when they first showed windows 8 running on ARM they specifically stated that they were using windows 7 shell on windows 8 kernel. I cant recall what it was exactly but it was Microsoft keynote @ mix11 or maybe before that even.
