Netflix always works really well. Installing WatchESPN to test it now, although I don't much care for it.

"A bunch of stinky jocks working up a sweat and getting more stinky"

...LOL! Just kidding. I like to watch football with the guys when I have time. Never on a cellphone though. ;)

College Football Live, okay, this looks good. Oh I gotta pay but have Comcast/Xfinity. Log in time. Oh for God's sakes, my login does not work. Grrrrr.....

Man, I did my password again and now have a white screen box. What is with this app, man? Back, login again. Nope. I have had issues logging into Comcast before so this is not new. But I am getting tired of trying. :mad:

Let me back out and try again. No, won't let me do anything. Go to espn.com and make an account. Okay, I am a member now. Gosh that makes me feel so warm and fuzzy all over! :victory:

Can I watch football now or what? No, tap anything and nothing happens other than "I am signed in", that is it. Oh I see, there are tiny padlocks on everything unless I can login to Comcast or something. Here is a freebie. Oh gosh, guess what? Same thing as you. See screenshot.

This is not the phone, this is the app is not getting the screen resolution right for this particular rom or device. That is an issue with ESPN, not cm11. cm11 is very new. There are quite a few apps that do not work right with it. I just installed Hex Editor, a really cool binary file editor. It would not install at all. I wrote the developer, a Ukrainian man and told him of this. He said I was the 2nd person to complain about this and asked if I would help debug with system logs. I agreed and sent him the logs after trying to install the app. He sent a new debugger app to install. That would not install either, sent him more logs. He wrote back that the app was unable to determine the proper screen resolution for the device and made another version and emailed it to me. This one worked and worked really well. Now I have my very cool Hex Editor app and really like it, plus I helped the developer improve his app to work on cm11.

The problem is not with the phone, it is with the ESPN app, it cannot get the proper screen resolution for the device and "does the best it can do". Obviously this is not good enough. So, you have to email the technical support at ESPN Apps and tell them about this issue. You can copy and paste my text in the email if you wish. I will help you with that if you wish. ESPN wants customers and if their app does not work with a new phone or system, they will want to fix this. Maybe not on the first complaint, but when they get 2 or more, they will take action. Write them at tech support, send a screenshot, and explain the situation that you are using a new phone with CyanogenMod 11 on it and want to keep your ESPN app. Ask if they can fix it please. If neecssary, say you can supply system logs or test new versions to help if they need it and see what they say.

I cannot make WatchESPN work on cm11, but I am almost positive that this is the issue because I just went though this just this week with another app. :rolleyes:

IDEA:

Many times an app developer does not bother with a single complaint about a new rom or system where someone cannot get the app to work unless it is a huge product like Microsoft or Apple. So, you make the complaint. If they do not help you, I will make a similar complaint and follow up with offers to assist in debugging with test apps and system logs. If they ignore both of us, we have members here who might be sympathetic and would write another complaint or two. If ESPN tech assist ignores several complaints, then they just don't give a dam.

NOTE:

I would not get my hopes too high for getting ESPN to update their app. I just tried three different browsers; Firefox, Chrome, and Internet Explorer on the ESPN website. The page looks good only on Internet Explorer as many businesses used to do. "Optimized for Internet Explorer 10" or some such nonsense. If they do not even make their website work well for all or the most popular browsers, they really may not give a dam much about the app. They might have paid a developer a lot of money to get it, he may be a private developer, and the chance they want to spend a ton more money for a new phone system could be slim unless a LOT of people complain. But, it is worth trying...
