So I just did the market newest market fix http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861044 and slingplayer now shows up. I uninstalled slingplayer and installed the one from the market. I thought it might make a difference, and it did. Slingplayer would not launch. 30 or 40 attempts....fail. Uninstalled the market app and side loaded my original....launched on the first attempt....exited to homescreen, waited five minutes and tried to launch again. This time it was successful on the 12th attempt

Slingplayer works with stock Gtab (12/10/2010 update)

Hi,

There hasn't been any postings to this thread, but, FYI, Slingplayer mobile just worked on my completely stock, non-rooted Gtab. This is with the update that VS provided this past Friday (12/10/2010).

As posted in this thread, I had to start the app many, many times, and figured it just wouldn't work on a stock Gtab, but, I just tried, and it started, let me enter my Sling account info, and VOILA, I'm watching TV via Slingbox (this is an OLD original Slingbox Tuner).

as of vegan 5, or maybe 4, slingplayer now opens up the first time I try it, instead of having to open it like 10 times. Anyone else seeing that? I have not reinstalled it in a while, been restoring via titanium.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Mikeg1969:
I have been running slingplayer successfully for some time now. Currently running TnTlite 3.1.3 and an old sling tuner model with no problems there either.:D While the picture is not the best and all the functionality is not present, it is still very useable. Limitations are on the Sling side, not the gtab side as Slingmedia stopped supporting the tuner model a while ago in order to attempt to boost sales for their newer models.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] johndarner:
Just installed Slingplayer on stock 3389 and it works perfectly. I have Slingplayer paid app on my EVO 4G phone but didn't want to pay for it again on another Android device. Plus my stepson has a G Tablet in S. Korea that he received for Christmas. So I downloaded ******************* from mediafire.com . Just Google it.

build.prop for slingplayer

Would someone please post a working slingplayer build.prop. I must have messed mine up working through the beginning of this post and am not sure where I have gone wrong. I have the full market, installed slingplayer, but have never seen it actually work.

Any help appreciated.

thanks,
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] detawx:
anyone know how to improve the quality of streaming? My connection supports full hd streaming but the app looks crappy most of the time. Btw I am on the latest vegan build and have had no issues getting the app to load
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] thorpe24:
new dish app now supports tablets looks great on mine
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] LuisB3:
I'm having the same issue but I think this is the best it's going to get. The picture looks good at times but when watching an NBA game it looks horrible until the closeups are shown. This is probably related to the automatic stream encoding option that determines the video quality based on your connection. Unless SlingMedia makes that option available again on our mobile devices, we're SOL.

FYI...I have the HD Slingbox and use the component video connection but I sometimes use the composite connection because it is less pixelated albeit more fuzzy and not wide screen.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] SpinKix:
Slingplayer update?

Have you updated the slingbox software?

It improves the quality somewhat. Not great, but not as bad as it was.

Slingplayer 2.0 For iPpad/iPhone has a HD option that looks much better than Slingplayer 1.0.

Hopefully, Android Slingplayer 2.0 will be coming along.

This thread has been dead for awhile but I was wondering if anyone has had any luck lately with slingplayer on any of Robeets froyo roms such as mountain laurel? I really want to have my sports on the go but wanna be sure it'll work on the grab.
[G Tablet General] shibbybypass:
Every time I add market the system becomes unstable and I can't get the system to reboot after it is installed. Any ideas? I am currently using CM mod and have tried all releases of tnt lite and zpad.
[G Tablet General] raydog153:
Well I am CM6B4 ROM and the market and fixes and all is working for me, but what I do notice is that every time I use th market to add/remove/u[date apps, my system is totally unstable afterwards and usually the google services framework crashes and then most all the other gapps will FC on me whenever trying to use them. A reboot fixes everything till the next time I use the market.
[G Tablet General] shibbybypass:
I am using the same release as you are. I have tried them all several times and I am still unsure of what to do. I really love this tablet with CM added to it. I can just side load all my apps if I needed to. I would just rather have the market as well. Also I am not sure of what Gapp releases goes with which ones. I have Clockwork installed so I am not worried about bricking the unit. I sideloaded Angry Birds and that has me occupied for the time being. ;)
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Same issue here along with uid errors. Only way to get things stable was install clockwork and then clear data and cache. I was then able to do the market fix and things so far have been stable. Using TnT Lite 2.0.
[G Tablet General] shibbybypass:
Ok, I will give that a shot thanks.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2071:
sorry about that guys i was posting that on the cracked screen LOL

okay then good to know it might not be gorilla glass, well what i was trying to say was i hope this doesn't happen to anyone else and i advice getting some sort of case because of the weight of the phone the screen just cracks so easily.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markjnj:
this was funny.

I was following you until you started talking about scouting and tigers...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentaaron:
I can tell you for a fact that our screens are NOT Gorilla Glass...

...I have my ears guaged to 1/2" and have clear acrylic plugs in. My phone already has a small scuff mark on it where my plug hits on the screen. I have tried cleaning it by multiple methods, and I can assure you that it is truely scratched.

I need to pick me up a Phantomskin for this phone ASAP...at least for the screen...I have not had this problem on a phone since my sidekick days :eek: which is kind of a bummer...I have always used phantomskin kits, but have never used the screen part because I have never needed it.

Oh, I know what happened all right. The text was translated by sloppy online translator. If you back translate it and retranslate to ENG with Google translate, you wind up with very readable text.

I think what happened is that he was typing on the cracked screen (as he already stated) and probably did not catch the phones auto spelling correction

[Droid 2 General] hondakorn:
I'd like to know as well lol....
[Droid 2 General] orkillakilla:
Personally I think blur does nothing but slow the phone down. I would go with fission. Great battery life and its super smooth and clean.

Sent from my Motorola Droid 2 with Fission 2.1
[Droid 2 General] reemusk:
thanks for the reply, any other opinions, oh mighty XDA?
[Droid 2 General] mikeeg02:
Fission 2.2.2 seems to be running great for me. Had some issues with earlier versions, but 2.2.2 is smooth, and great battery life over stock for sure. Squidlymandigo has a nice one too and has a way to disable haptic feeback for real.
[Droid 2 General] kwheel596:
I'd go with Fission.
[Droid 2 General] spaceape99:
Honestly the stock ROM is perfectly good to me. I've rooted (z4) for wifi tethering, but beyond that have really found no reason to change. I don't use any blur widgets (not many widgets at all, actually) and LauncherPro is plenty UI customization for me. Since the recent update (2.3.20) battery life is fine - I can go two days on light use - again, my widget and background task list is very light.

I'll ROM when I feel the need to, but I haven't found a real need yet.
[Droid 2 General] jrwaltb:
Yea I agree that the stock 2.3.2 blur is really good. I am not knocking the fission dev's because some people need plain android but I think moto did a good job with this version. Rooted you can really make the blur run great.
[Droid 2 General] Pantheon.:
Rooted blur with titanium backup makes a great phone. it tuns smooth when all the bloatware is removed. if you like a aosp like experiance then i recomend going with fission. though modding the phone yourself is more fun when you learn more. :)
[Droid 2 General] scoob55:
i used to think you needed a rom to make a phone good but that was me coming from wack android phones......im digging the rooted stock pretty well

just overclock......you wont complain about blur being slow anymore
[Droid 2 General] Veezo:
Hi, i did not want to make a new thread so I'll post in this one. I'm from UK and I'm new user of MM2. My phone is sim free but I'm on contract with o2 with SE x10 ( don't buy this phone!) and here I come to my question, I cannot update to 2.3 or 2.23 or what ever the newest software is. Is the new software available in certain countries or networks ? I'm on 2.2. BTW Blur looks quite good better than sense ui in htc's but its a bit slow sometimes but new update can solve this issue. Regards
[Droid 2 General] gunz.jones:
Squidly with or without blur and he's started porting some themes with permission from a few devs. Started using before fission became what it is now, but i'm not having problems.
[Droid 2 General] mikeeg02:
Squidley's worked well for me also. The only issue I had was after time, memory seemed to shrink, until reboot. No apps appeared to be running, or in the services. But other then that, squidley's was probably the rom that seemed to have the least issues. For me anyways. But fission 2.2.2 is working great for me!
[Droid 2 General] flyingtriangle10:
Noob here

Sorry if this is a stupid question!

first of all here is the info on my droid2 under about phone:

system version= verizon.2.3.20.a955.verizon.en.us

android version= 2.2

baseband= bp_c_01.09.07p

kernal= 2.6.32.9-g462500f

my phone is rooted and deodexed and i am looking for themes i can flash but i get confused when reading post and they refer to the ver 2.2 or 2.3.1.5 do i need to be concerned with the theme matching the android version or the system version or both.

Any help would be great!

thx in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] koberko:
Hi.

I have talked with friend of mine who has developed couple Android applications about making some games for android. We have worked together before on one game and we have working 3d engine that was successfully ported to Android.

My part in this will be to make up some cool game, and to do all graphics (2d and 3D).

So if you don't mind, I will love to hear from rest of android users, what types of games do you prefer or will like to play on your mobile device. That will help us a lot in this early stages to make some concept that will be interesting to more people.

Thank you all.

P.S. you can chose multiply types in poll.

Pocket Legends. :D best MMORPG
[Android Apps and Games] koberko:
yeah; it's a nice game; I was kind of suprised by it. ;)

P.S. I don't wan't to sound inpatient or annoying, but I would like if more people had given their vote...:( Topic has over 170 views, and just 12 votes... It will be really helpful if i get more votes.

Thank you all once again.

How do you select the poll using the xda app?

As for gaming, simple addictive and easy control, angry birds is obviously one of the best portable games, love pocket legends but it requires a good solid internet connection to play, not always available, wordsmith is probably my favourite a game played using minimal internet use online but at your leisure, basic scrabble really.
[Android Apps and Games] jab1a:
I vote for some good bluetooth/wifi adhoc multiplayer games, co-op would be cool, Golden Axe or BubbleBubble style, not internet multiplayer games as I have a PC for that.

I play quick games on my phone.

I go for a morning coffee and my mates are not there so a play a bit of angry birds, simple 5 min games. Nip to the loo to sit on the throne and the same there. more in-depth games i stick to the PC

But saying that I did enjoy playing The Scummvm games i.e. monkey island on my Palmtop, as long as I can end the game suddenly and pick up where I left off the next time.

I just clicked check for update on my daughters phone and WiFi was off, so it wouldn't check. He phone has no data, WiFi ONLY. O back out and turn on WiFi and go to check again and it gives me the bull crappy of waiting 24 hours again. I checked a couple of days ago and it just sat there for 20 minutes saying checking and I left it and got the dame message. Dumb dumb dumb
[Captivate General] NinjaCoder:
Are you trying to update the captivate?

Can you put your SIM in it?

Alternatively you could go to samsung.com and try to get the Kies Mini or Kies Full Application to do it via Bluetooth or USB cable.

Although I have a hard time getting those apps to work even with .NET 4.0 installed so not 100% sure that will work.

Yeah updating the Captivate for her. Just got the phone a few days ago. I guess ill try again tomorrow and look into those options.

you can bypass the 24 hour waiting time anytime.

All you have to do is go to

DATE & TIME settings

turn off auto date/time

set the date/time forward at least 24 hours and you can check for an update....you can do it as many times as you like
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perfecteagle:
I have an EVO 4G and was starting to look at putting Ubuntu on it, but really have no idea as to what benefit this would be to me. I realize it is a computer OS, but do you still retain things like 4G and calling? I don't see much of a point in putting it on there if I don't have a plan in place for reverting back to "normal" ROMs or using my phone as an actual phone later. If anyone who has done this to theirs has any input on this, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, if I still retain my phone functionality, could someone tell me a bit about why it would be cool to do this?

Evobuntu - How to Install Ubuntu on HTC Evo 4G!

I also thought about doing this but found it pointless as your phone's already *nix, unless there's something specific to Ubuntu that you need to run on your phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perfecteagle:
I'm not really sure if Ubuntu would serve any benefit, but I've heard of someone with Ubuntu who gets about 3 days running the stock EVO battery, which kind of perked my interest. I don't need instructions, just want to know what benefits I might get from it.

How, using aircrack/wireshark/etc? It already takes forever on a multiple core laptop seems to me the phone would be pointless. And don't you need drivers capable of packet injection? Seems far fetched to me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wuclan48:
I haven't really looked into it on the evo but it certainly does not take a long time with a laptop. My little netbook can crack wep in about 5 minutes. I'm not totally sure if the evo's wifi is capable of running in promiscuous mode but none of this sounds that far fetched to me.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamHart612:
I was referring to WPA, I cant find a WEP protected point anywhere near me if I try. I can see 17 access points around me atm, aside from 2 unprotected all are WPA.

I ran Ubuntu on my Evo for a few days to show off, and while I didn't attempt anything aircrack was one of the first thoughts/uses I had in mind. If it is capable of it that would be very cool. I just thought it unlikely that the Evos wifi is capable of injection in monitor mode, especially considering patched drivers are already necessary.

Not trying to argue that it wouldnt be badass tho :)

Edit: Just thought about it and WPA would be a hassle anyways as the rainbow table I use on my laptop is 30gb, considerably more than my 8gb card haha
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wuclan48:
Yeah, I wouldn't attempt wpa with an evo, lol. If you google it it does appear that other android devices are capable of injecting packets so it's possible the evo's wifi supports that as well. Where I live (nyc) there are a ton of open networks and an equally large number of wep protected networks.

:D https://www.mysearsrebate.com/rebatecenter.htm

you need your receipt to open a rebate. the type of rebate we have is not in the list they say they offer(this worries me!)

here is a screenshot of the rebate as they had it posted on their website as part of our argument. everyone open rebate tickets and complain!
[G Tablet General] Acturbo:
I bought mine Friday and saw this as well. Went back today and they took it off the site. Thanks for the link, something to show them when I call about it.

Also, went to the store today to price match the price since it went back to 379.99.
[G Tablet General] copc:
Thanks for posting that up. I have sent them a email through their contact form and since I can not attach the image via the form I placed it on my server and gave them the link to see.

if anyone else wants to do that the link is

http://clickonpc.com/rebate/searsrebate.jpg

I told them to contact me ASAP so I can return the unit if I do not get my rebate.

I would suggest as well anyone buying it from sears 11/26 contact them ASAP.
[G Tablet General] h4x0rjdag:
i think it may have to be bought on 11/25 or previous. it doesnt show in my screenshot i think but i remember seeing 11/25 as the rebate expiration
[G Tablet General] copc:
It was on there site when I purchased mine and said it was eligible when I added to my cart.
[G Tablet General] lostpilot28:
Great timing! I saw the "docking station" rebate on Friday, too. I was bummed because it appeared my local Sears wasn't honoring the sale price of $379 with a free case. Whatever, I was fine with a docking station.

BUT, today I went online to file the rebate and it was gone...so I called the local Sears when I picked up my G-Tab (online purchase but store pickup) and they weren't aware of the docking station rebate. They did say they were sorry I didn't get the $379 deal and free case, but just drop in with my receipt and they'd make it right. That they did...it was a trip out of my way, but 5 minutes well spent.
[G Tablet General] copc:
That is because their site was screwed up on Friday. when I bought mine, it said $379 plus the rebate, when I click on it to the tablet page to add it to cart it changed to $399 with the rebate. I blew it off as there site was screwed up, but the rebate was still there. Then I picked it up not thinking I should have asked them at the store about the rebate.

Finally got home started charging it and when I went online Sat to check the whole rebate thing is was gone? I contacted them through chat they sent me to the rebate site and the rebate was not there? but the price had dropped, I drove in and got the $20 plus tax.

So site showed

$379 11/25

$399 11/26

$379 11/27
[G Tablet General] krissywolle:
Would anyone happen to have the address to mail the rebate to?

[G Tablet General] butchconner:
Last day for the rebate was 11/25/2010. I downloaded the form to a Microsoft .xps file since I was out-of-town and had no printer.

But be warned the instructions are so conflicted it's hard to know what to file. For example, whether or not to file the original (which I hate to do) or a copy.

If someone will tell me how to paste in a copy of the file, or will tell me where to send it -- I will provide it so people who may have bought by the 11/25/2010 deadline can file for the rebate.

The rebate has to be mailed by 12/25/2010 if I remember correctly.
