Don't kill the messenger but they run from a Flash Object/Streaming. I also don't think they have the license for streaming on Win8 or maybe mobile platforms. I wouldn't expect your dreams to come true just yet or at all.
[Windows 8 General] stroebi:
Grooveshark offers a number of API's to interact, so there's no need for Flash.

Grooveshark itself runs a version based on html5. So, html5 is the prefered way how metro-apps should be build.

I think there are plenty of options how this could be done!

[Windows 8 General] lseidman:
You may be not understanding me or I didn't elaborate properly, either way, I hope maybe this helps (keep in mind, not trying to be an ass, trying to be helpful)...

As quoted from their site:

Source: http://developers.grooveshark.com

In order to stream, you must use Flash for the Widgets. Unless your App is Desktop-based (non-Metro) and even then we still don't know what the outcome will be, Flash isn't likely going to be permitted and if it is, like we've heard previously, it will be very limited and a list of "accepted" sites/content will be enforced.

Yes in IE Metro you can download/use Flash by side-loading the installer but as we've all heard, a light weight Flash is probably going to be permitted in the final public release, which most likely will mean you can't implement it in your App.

Sure, the API exists for streaming but is it supported with the licenses Windows 8 Codecs Offered? Which we hear is going to be limited. Also, you'll have to host their Ads or enforce only premium users to use your App. Question then is, how do you make a profit from it? Unless you're selling it to them, such a large project you should profit from it.

As for grabbing the Artists and stuff like that via the API, yeah that exists but really they're offering nothing better than anyone else. The only reason you'd want a Grooveshark App is because you want to play the content of the Artist/Album you're reading about and unless Grooveshark can change their license agreements & whole way of doing business? I would hold off putting any steam in to this project but just a suggestion from a developer to another developer as we don't know the Codecs W8 will be shipped with and if Grooveshark will have supported it.

Thanks,

Lance

Why not just pay $9.99 to get Best Buy Black Tie Protection?

No deductible.

Unlimited claims.

Free loaner phone if yours has to be special ordered.

Covers all physical damage except full water submersion.

Cancel any time free.

Those are the exact words I was told when buying my phone.

I got Black Tie.

Persuade me to cancel it so I can save money.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Number one reason is the wait to get your phone back can be a week or two weeks sometimes a month the program is good but I can't go that long without my phone

Ask sprint about their options I think if you are just worried about cracked screens and stuff you can get protection through them for.that at like 4 bucks a month. If I am wrong someone interject. Reason I say 4 is I don't think the tep has raised yet and if u lock it in now it won't raise till you resign...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DarkManX4lf:
I do not have Black Tie but I heard that its pretty awful. At times they do not honor replacements.

Google it for more info.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] yourbrotherrex:
I have Black Tie, but I gotta tell you: the whole "free loaner phone if yours has to be special ordered"? Count on rocking a crappy old Android or a BlackBerry for a little bit if your phone can't be initially just fixed....

Here's the rub: yours IS gonna have to be special ordered, if you need a replacement, no matter if your Best Buy has 500 new EVOs in stock: they won't let you have one of theirs. For me, for the times I had to use it, I waited about 2 weeks the first time (because it was "backordered", even though my Best Buy had plenty), and about 3 days the second.

Of course, you also are also DEFINITELY getting a refurb, count on that 100%.

*I still use it, like I said, but the guy at Best Buy won't tell you all these little "details", which, I think, is a bit shady.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] purock:
I waited a month for a broken charger port on my OG Evo. Seemed like an eternity. Got it back and found that while they fixed the port, they blew out the light on the menu button (looked like it was missing a tooth) . Wasn't going to wait again with a beat up small lender phone.

Gave me a scratched and dented LG Optimus. Big ole scratch on the screen.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Lol at the people that don't like brick and mortar stores its that that is hurting the economy why buy it somewhere and pay a little extra and take a little extra time n pay tax when u can order it online for cheaper ans not pay tax. However I heard awhile back they where or are trying to put laws in place for sales tax on online items.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
I actually just dropped sprints insurance and am going to straight up buy the black tie insurance for $170 for the 2 year protection. How sprint is Jacking up the price on everything you would be paying $264 for 2 years not including the $150-$200 deductible. Hell if I can save $100-$250 with BB with a refurbished phone and wait 2 weeks its worth it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cj10488:
ZAGG has insurance as well. I think its 100$ for 2yrs and covers everything with a 100$ deductible. Might wanna look into that.

James
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] grrmisfit:
best buy also doesnt cover lost or stolen tho if you use mobile defense or sprint locator those arent a huge issue..

yes cause buying online is different then buying in brick and mortar... the store actually makes more of a profit from online sales then store. and i paid taxes when i ordered from sprint tyvm.. the only thing being loss on online sales is taxes to the state but as someone who works in retail i can also tell you all the people using food stamps arent helping much either.. lord forbid they dont get their tax free soda chips and fat cakes
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Lol that is probably true but I always get the impression most shop amazon etc n I know it is just state taxes but still. I don't have a problem with food stamps for those that use it correctly however many people don't use it correctly
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] grrmisfit:
i use online cause its a convenience . i work over nights so i can shop while everything is closed and its usually cheaper cause they save on labor and other things a brick and mortar has to pay.. walk into a kmart.. have their website loaded and check prices, you will see that a lot of their stuff is more expensive in stores then online and they will not price match
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Yeah and is rather pay extra to know that American people have a job even if it is a store and 5 extra dollars that's all im trying to say we have to many people to be cutting jobs and companies can pick up and leave over seas. Btw I agree 3rd sucks I work 12-8 am and it is hard a lot of.the time
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
But all and all price wise. BB is the cheapest if you don't mind waiting a couple days for a replacement refurbished phone and the fact they don't cover loss or theft. Anyone object?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Nope however I am interested in zagg..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stumblebum:
I use http://www.squaretrade.com - $119 for two years protection after tax and 10% discount (coupon code TENFTEN).

You still pay a $99 deductible, and no coverage for theft or loss....but it has great reviews which is comforting. And at about $5/month...much better deal.

Sent from my Evo4GLTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jackpearce:
I had the black tie protection and I'll tell you why it isn't so hot.

First, doesn't cover lost or stolen phones.

Second, loaner phones require a $150 deposit.

Third, when I used the insurance to fix a broken charging port, I sent the phone in on Jan 2nd. The phone came back unrepaired 3 times. I finally got a replacement phone the second week of February. Believe me, I would have gladly gave a hundred dollars for a replacement from sprint.

Learned my lesson on best buy protection.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LTEvo:
The 4$ is still the same for service and repairs. However the replacement part of the TEP has gone up i believe.

And no the TEP will be raised for everyone but only in September if you sign up for TEP before july 17th.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
Do you get a brand new phone? Do they cover loss/theft?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] -viperboy-:
I work for Best Buy and am very familiar with the GSBTP plans (Geek Squad Black Tie Protection). What I am about to say is my own opinion and not that of Best Buy's.

That being said, I am going to give you an unbiased opinion on this because I see both sides to what you guys are saying. I bought my phone outright from BBY 2 days ago. Did I buy GSBTP? No, here is why: I like the lost or stolen option from Asurion/Sprint and I never had to use it until 2 weeks ago when someone stole my EVO 3D from my store. I tried remote locating it and all that crap and it didn't help. Paid the deductible through Asurion (should have been $100 but they told me $50) and got a replacement the next day.

As far as what GSBTP offers, yeah, it's not bad. But there are some things that need clarified in what has been said in this thread. The replacements now are all "Rapid Exchange", as in, you come into BBY and we fill out all the paperwork to get you a new phone. What happens is that the system then generates and order for a refurbished phone to be shipped that day while we send yours back to them at the same time. This means that you will get a new phone within 3 business days, not too bad.

However, the loaner phones are pretty crappy, as mentioned. But stores are suppose to charge you $50 for the loaner phone that gets returned back to you after you return it. They don't all do that, but they are supposed to, so keep that in mind that YMMV.

Everything else in the OP is right. BBY won't deny a claim unless you fully submerged it, nor would they even know that unless you told them. There is a girl at my store that literally drops and shatters her iPhone screen atleast 2 times a month and it's been happening for over a year now, never had an issue. Also, with GSPTB, you are entitled to a 1-time battery replacement on your phone as well which is awesome, but unfortunately doesn't apply to phones without removable batteries.

Hopefully this clarified things for you guys and gave you an idea of both sides to the GSBTP story :)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] FlaXB9R:
BB doesn't sound to bad with no replacement fees on the other hand sprint replacing stolen phones doesn't sound bad either. I personally go for no insurance and I'm very hard on phones . In the two years I had my OG EVO I did all the repairs myself. After replacing my digitizer 3 times @ about $10-$15 each I invested in an otterbox defender case and that was the best Insurance my money could buy. Otterbox cases are great and will replace if it breaks pretty much no questions asked for free. With a case that good and so many do it yourself guides/videos I think insurance is overrated. JMO

Any of them will do. They all delete the same file to calibrate.

Once you calbrate, let the battery dtain all the way to power off for the first cycle.

Also, its not unusual for the battery percentage to jump alot on reboot. It will drop down ro the correct amount pretty quickly.

[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
It could be the first signs of a dying battery as well.
[HTC Sensation] gbarayah:
You do not need to drain your battery completely down (until the phone powers off) to get an accurate calibration. Anything below about 15% will be good enough.

Although it is rare, letting a li-ion battery drain completely to zero can sometimes cause it to fail. There are sensors in these batteries that makes sure that they don't ever drain completely (even when we see zero, there is still some power left - similar to when your car gas light comes on but you still have a few gallons of 'reserve fuel) Sometimes these sensors can fail. If that happens, you have a bad battery.

Also, after calibrating give it a few full cycles to gain top accuracy. The jump you see after a reboot is normal, though it shouldn't be as severe as you mentioned.
[HTC Sensation] Catpoule:
Hi my friend,

Some say "battery calibration" app works some says it doesn't, don't really know but "wipe battery datas" in recovery does the same.

this happens when you flash different roms and some roms does not include battery calibration scrips. My rom does and i never have this issue, works very well. :D

this issue resolves by itself when wiping data and giving it 2 or 3 complete cycles.

Be patient then , all will comme back to normal.

I also saw a new app called "battery repair", i just bought it on market, but can not tell the results now because too early. i took it because it repair yes but most of all give you more time of use ... :D

cheers
