Updated HBO GO still a NO GO on 4.3

Although HBO updated the GO app on 10/8 for 4.3, it's still not working for me on my HD+. Works fine on my N7 grouper but not on the Nook. Now, it does at least show it being compatible in Play Store and you can login... But it will hang or just allow an audio stream after it buffers. This is about the same result achieved on the previous version if you sideloaded it. So, new HBO GO version, basically the same negative results.

I have tried it on CM 10.2 and another 4.3 rom with negative results. If anyone has gotten positive results on a 4.3 rom, please respond here with the rom used.

Thanks,

I tested the latest HBOGo on 4.3 and got a message that the connection was too slow for video (versus the endless buffering from the prior version) and that the stream was audio only (which never started). So I checked the WiFi (two feet away from the WiFi router) with the WiFi analyzer app and it showed a -80 dB signal that shows -50 dB with 4.2.2 at the same location. Something is going on with 4.3.
[Nook HD, HD+ Themes and Apps] webdroidmt:
Yep, exactly the same results with the slow connection and audio only stream.. Scanning through the latest reviews on Play, it appears that many others are experiencing difficulty with the new GO version and 4.3. Came across a few other posts there with the "audio stream only" nonsense on different devices and there's absolutely nothing wrong with my connection, so I don't have a clue what the issue is.

Funny, no complaints from Nexus 7 users including me, as it works fine on it. Maybe HBO was emabarrassed that Go wouldn't work with 4.3 and Google's own device and concentrated solely on getting it work on them. :rolleyes:

Well, kitkat is coming soon, I wonder what new adventures there will be with GO? Maybe we really should be calling it HBO NOGO :laugh:

[Nook HD, HD+ Themes and Apps] PJLLB:
Any thoughts on the WiFi analyzer app results I posted?
[Nook HD, HD+ Themes and Apps] webdroidmt:
With wifi analyzer on the signal meter, my Nexus 7 stayed steady at -40. The Nook HD+ was erratic, it mostly stayed at -51 but would dip to a low of around -82 for a second or two and then go back to -51. Maybe something with the wifi drivers???

Although regarding GO, I saw some posts for different devices, like LG phones having this audio stream only issue. So, not really sure if the erratic wifi signal is relevant...unless all these devices use the same or similar wifi firmware/drivers.

Regardless, I'm not too happy to see the random but fairly frequent dips in the wifi signal. On a more positive note, I have no streaming issues with Netflix, so I don't know what's going on under the hood with GO.

Hopefully, it gets rectified in a future release.

I am running verygreen's CM10.2 for emmc nightly. I first downloaded HBO Go from 1mobile but it just updated from Google Play. It is running fine no problems.

I have fios for tv and I had to use my original user name and password not the ones that I log into Verizon's site.

The only other change I made and this was for Verizon Mobile site login was to edit build.prop ro.product.model changed it to BN NookHD+ because site is not able to deal with the "&" symbol in the name.

I do not remember if that was before or after HBO Go.

Loading the EMMC rom also solved all the Google Play errors I got with install and updates error24.

To All Windows 7 and Vista Users:

We have found a serious bug in Windows 7 and Vista that can effect system function and

performance. The Bug appeared when running Root MANY ANDROID! and Qemu but can

cause a number of programs to fail. Please perform these steps to fix the problem. If you

are currently Rooted, do not worry about Re-Rooting, just perform the fix.

Here is the Fix:

1. Go into System, here is how. If you have My Computer or Computer, Right Hand mouse

click choose Properties. If you can not find it here, click on Start Menu, do you see

Computer, Right Hand mouse click choose Properties. If not here, choose Control Panel,

select Small Icons at the top Right. Then select (click) on the System Icon.

2. Once you are in the System Properties, choose "Advanced System Settings"

3. Next Select "Environment Variables"

4. Under "System Variables" find "Path"

5. With the Mouse, select "Path" Choose Edit

6. Be Careful. Scroll to the end of the Path Statement and add: C:\Windows\System32 so the path statement looks like (example only, yours will be different):

C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Users\Gerry Bryant\AppData\Local\Smartbar\Application\;C:\Users\Gerry Bryant\AppData\Local\Smartbar\Application\;c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\;c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\Binn\;c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\ManagementStudio\;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\WINDOWS\system32

Note: No Space between the ; and the statement C:\WINDOWS\system32 - the statement

is not case sensitive, can be upper case or lower case or a mix of the two.

7. Click on OK, OK and OK until the System Properties is closed.

8. Let's test to see if the Path statement was set properly. Open a Command Window

by clicking on Start > Run > cmd OK or however you know how to open a Command

Window.

9. Once a Command Window is open type:

ping 4.2.2.2

You should see replies, your output ms= time will vary, just make sure you see a response

and nothing like "not recognized as an internal or external command in Windows". The

output will appear something like:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.2.8250]
(c) 2012 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Windows\System32>ping 4.2.2.2

Pinging 4.2.2.2 with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 4.2.2.2: bytes=32 time=22ms TTL=51
Reply from 4.2.2.2: bytes=32 time=21ms TTL=51
Reply from 4.2.2.2: bytes=32 time=23ms TTL=51

Ping statistics for 4.2.2.2:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 21ms, Maximum = 23ms, Average = 21ms

That is it! Run Root MANY ANDROID!

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
Do not need to Re-Root on Current Rooted Kindles

meddle70,

No, just fix the issue if it is present on your system. If you never performed Windows Updates:crying:,

then you may not have the problem. When Service Pack 1 was released, the had a Bug in the service

pack that removed the Path Statement. It was fixed in prior service packs but we are finding a high

number of people did not keep there PC Patched. Just go into the Path Statement, see if you find

C:\Windows\System32 in the path. Or drop to command and type:

path

Do you see C:\Windows\System32 somewhere in the Path Statement?

Current Kindle Fire HD and 2 - Root Sucess

To All-

Everyone who is already Rooted needs to perform the fix although you will not have to perform the Root

Steps againn. This fix is designed to repair a Post Service Pack Bug, that has caused many people

headaches when running ADB. Some people believe that upgrading Java is the solution, indirectly it

is a solution, since the latest version of Java detects the missing Path Statement. Then the Java

installer adds the missing Path Statement of C:\Windows\System32.

Either way, it is important to make sure the Path Statement exists, if it does not, add it per the

instructions.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] meddle70:
Well i do remember having ADB issues when rooting the fire even though i had drivers installed.

Thanks for the clarification on that and will do the fix. Thanks for all your hard work!

Meddle70,

That was one of the bugs when adb called to some internal programs like find, ping, etc.

This Bug triggered many failures with Root MANY ANDROID! We just caught it when we took

a close look at a customer PC and noticed a reoccurring error that was not normal. As

soon as I saw the error, I said "of course....why we did not see this a few months ago....is

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] SilentlyScreaming:
Just a quick note, might be worth editing the first post for clarity, as some users might not be familiar with the concept of %labelGOEShere%

You may also find that %SystemRoot%\system32 is listed in your path. As %SystemRoot% is wherever windows is installed to (c:\windows\ for example), this too is fine, no need to manually specify c:\windows\system32 as well!

Oh also, for the sake of completion/keyboard shortcut lovers, system properties is also accessible by holding down the Windows Flag on your keyboard and tapping the Pause/Break key once.

I was following your other guide (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2069117) to root my Kindle Fire 2 and the note regarding the bug report on Windows 7 brought me here.

My "path" looks like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Shared

and when I perform the ping 4.2.2.2 command I don't get any "not recognized" messages. Do I still have to apply the mentioned patch?

As the ping command works, and you have %SystemRoot%\system32 in your path, you should be OK, I believe. prokennexusa is away from his keyboard for a while.

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] SilentlyScreaming:
I'd definitely order a factory cable in advance. Mine ended up 6000km away, and waiting for it to get back to me was a killer when I bricked my Kindle Fire 2!

One of the HD models can't be rescued with a factory cable from a certain of type bricking (maybe the 8"?), I think it is a dead kindle bricking, rather than a bootloop. Another advantage with a factory usb cable is the ability to install other bootloaders. You can do the tweezermod via an APK, (I did in the end), but the cable opens up your opportunities.

Please do always make sure that any procedures you're carrying out are definitely compatible with your exact model of Kindle Fire.

Confused on Last Step.....

Prokennexusa, thank you for your all of your help and knowledge. My poor Kindle got caught up in this new update and now I have lost my root :(

I followed all of your instructions perfectly and everything came out correct with the "ping" command, but now I'm confused.

You last step says "Run ROOT MANY ANDROID!", but I'm confused as to where I would run it?

You said in your instructions that if we perform the fix, we won't have to re-root the Kindle, so do I run the "ROOT MANY ANDROID!" on my Kindle or on my computer?

Is the "ROOT MANY ANDROID!" a software that I need to download on my Kindle or computer?

How do I see if my Kindle has regained root access?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fairviewdays:
Hey, I'm new to android (own all apple gear, iPhone, iPad, ATV ect.) I just purchased a nexus 7 about a month ago and am pretty comfortable with it now. I rooted and unlocked and am wondering how I make a full system back up. I have been reading web pages and forms for days and found thousands of methods but most require a insane amount of steps and various programs. I'm just wondering if someone can let me know of a app that allows a complete backup (ie. All my apps, games and saves, settings, screen layout) kind of like a iCloud backup.

P.S. I'm aware of titanium backup, from what I'm reading all this app does is back up apps/games and their settings/saves along with everything else out there... I want to save everything ! Including my screen setup, widgets, settings, everything

Thx !
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ucubz:

I see that it works normally when the screen is dark, because if I touch the screen it vibrates and performs what is on the screen, but do not understand why she is erasing out frequently, I've used other roms and kernels but it happens even be that the problem is on my player or someone besides me is having the same?

Hello. I know that there might be a thread for this already, so if you wouldn't mind pointing me to it, I'd appreciate it.

Any and all help greatly appreciated.

Thank you, in advance.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robosiris:
I was under the impression that if you flash a jellybean rom onto boost epic 4g touch, that was once on sprint, you have to make sure you also flash/use a jellybean kernel and modem, NOT a GB or ICS kernel or modem.

Also you have to manually update the prl. There are threads for manually updating prl.

Good luck
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rockingfreely:
Hello there, I think I can help because I have a Boost Mobile Epic 4g touch phone. Anyways in case if you haven't got an answer yet, the epic on boost is almost identical to the sprint phone, with the exception of the boot up screen, the scroll down window saying boost or sprint, and the boost id apps etc. What matters when flashing Roms is two things..1. First off make sure that the Rom is specified for your device under the model number SPH-D710........ 2. Second check your Android version and Software version. The Android version is simple, if it ways 4.0.x (the x being whatever) you know your on Ice Cream Sandwich, but if it says 4.1x then your on jelly bean. So the next thing to know is your software version which can be displayed under different places (Baseband, kernal, and Softwhere version). Its usually 4 digits, For example FI27, FI18, etc, I have GA10 and am running jellybean. IMPORTANT: Picture texts and other multi media devices do not work after flashing a sprint rom however, there is a simply solution which can be flashed into your phone by a custom recovery such as AGAT. Here is the link to do the trick. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1758735 What that does is change your APN settings to the correct one to your boost device. I've tried many methods, this is the only thing that has worked for me and your do not have to mess with the APN settings or download anything for the market to correct the problem. Any questions and I'll be happy to help
