It's a valid point in this thread. I'm a big Netflix fan and if the Xoom doesn't support the DRM requirements, it may drive some buyers towards other devices... However, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 has the Tegra 2 as well.

Would really stink if we could only watch Netflix on our snapdragon cell phones, but not our $800 tablets.
[Xoom General] Xevilious:
It would be nice if Nvidia would come out and clarify whether or not this will be supported, considering that this applies not only to tablets, but a mass of upcoming phones as well.

As a side note: I'm surprised. I thought WP7 phones had Netflix support, and aren't they running on current-generation Snapdragon processors, or is this not the case?
[Xoom General] blozout:
Agreed. This is my current dilemma. I was hoping to lay in bed streaming Netflix WI to my Xoom, not to my EVO. Now do I wait for a snapdragon tablet instead? For some people a Netflix app isnt a big deal, but I dont have cable and I stream everything over my media center pc. So I was really counting on a Netflix app. Grrrr.
[Xoom General] kenyu73:
I think WP7 has or will have a Netflix app soon. If Netflix didn't build one, Microsoft would just buy Netflix. :rolleyes:
[Xoom General] blozout:
They're practically partners with Netflix being that NFLX uses Micrsoft Silverlight tech for streaming. Assbags.
[Xoom General] frenzy757:
deal breaker for me. I travel a lot and want to stream tv episodes to my Xoom...

I also must be on one eco system so if this doesn't get clarified soon, I may have to jump ship to iOS....

Do you think other streaming services...like MLB.TV will do the same thing? Those two apps are MUST haves for me especially on a tablet
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
According to Apple's new subscription service requirements, Netflix will have to be 'purchased' through the app store, so Apple can take their 30%. I doubt Netflix is going to let this happen, and may pull the app like others are threatening, such as Audible.
[Xoom General] BBruin66:
DRM is built into Honeycomb so any app can utilize it.

2.3 and earlier OS don't have this so they require a hardware fix.

google: android SDK 3.0 DRM

for sources, i can't post links
[Xoom General] kenyu73:
That's some good information. It would help explain why the Xoom and Tab 10.1 are Tegra 2 based. I hope Netflix gets something out soon.

I hope that is true....no Netflix on the newest android tablet would suck a lot.
[Xoom General] kenyu73:
[removed post] -- oops, wrong thread!
[Xoom General] setite:
Thank you. I have been panicking for the past few hours about the hardware level DRM crap. The knowledge that honeycomb as a whole has DRM capabilities makes me content that we will see hulu, and netflix.

Netflix is a boon to Android. But do they even have much in the way of TV? I got rid of netflix 6 months ago because I found their TV library to be incomplete. Certain shows were missing early seasons, and whole shows I figured they would have were missing. I also have that complaint about HULU. I wanted to watch Star Trek TNG one day when I was bored, and instead had to discover Babylon 5. I only watched it because I was REALLY bored and heard about it on The Big Bang Theory. B5 was meh.
[Xoom General] kenyu73:
The DRM SDK in Honeycomb is used so developers can interact with the hardware DRM generically.

I thought Honeycomb could support Netflix, but I think that is only a development interaction layer.

I hope I'm wrong.
[Xoom General] murraytony:
Honeycomb DRM

It would make sense that Tegra 2 has some sort of DRM solution, because Google basically built Honeycomb on the Xoom. They would need some hardware there to test the DRM framework. Although, this statement is 100% speculation.
[Xoom General] kenyu73:
I did a quick check on the Tegra 2 specs and I didn't see any DRM reference. I'm also getting the Thunderbolt and the Snapdragon specs for the phone does have DRM referenced.

It would be nice to see a DRM official reference/screenshot to the chipset the Xoom has.
[Xoom General] frenzy757:
I also heard that honeycomb has drm solutions built in from the software side....so hopefully that means we will have Netflix on anything either with the new qualcomm chips OR honeycomb or later PS...that would be peachypeachy
[Xoom General] tecknical:
My question is, if the iPad which doesn't run a Snapdragon can have Netflix, why can't we?
[Xoom General] setite:
Because it's not about Snapdragon, it's about DRM. I expect Quallcomm worked hard to get Netflix first on Android to get some extra sales. Quallcomm had the industry but Tegra seeks to take a large amount of their share.

I'm using Azrael 3.1 and all of a sudden my slide lock screen is missing. I rely need this in case my phone rings and might answer when pulling phone out of my pocket.
[EVO 4G General] radiohead_freak:
as in you have no lockscreen? or its the stock android one that you slide it to the right?
[EVO 4G General] theidlemonk:
you either need the vanilla lock screen fix or just redstart your phone.
[EVO 4G General] brentkhack:
It was the lock screen that you would slide down. But the reboot did the trick, it now is back. Thanks a ton.

[Vibrant General] sfgairborne:
So I began playing around with "rooting," my Vibrant. I'm a computer engineer, but relatively new to the whole "smart phone," thing. Loaded a few different ROMs, played around a bit. No problem. At some point tonight, I tried to load a new ROM, and after clockworkmod, the vibrant screen took FOREVER. That's about the time my cats went crazy. Long story short, I dropped the phone. Cover popped off, battery fell out.

Now, the phone is sitting at the Vibrant screen for hours, will not boot into recovery mode, and if I plug it in, it just shows a gray battery.

I've tried the 3-button recovery mode over and over, with no success. Nothing at all. I CAN get to "download," mode, where I get the droid icon, and it says "Downloading...Do not turn off Target!!!" That said, I have no idea what, if anything, I can do from this screen. I have no idea what to do, but I know I can't afford another 500.00 phone. Please help!!

[Vibrant General] oka1:
Probably you will need a couple of things in your tool kit.

You will need Odin 1.3 or higher

Pit file (there are 512 and 831) Guessing you will need the 512pit

Original JFD stock file 2.1

Eugenes froyo that does not brick

Remove the sim and the sd card, remove the battery have Odin up on the computer> then hold down the 3 buttons and plug in the phone to the usb connected to computer. If this works and Odin sees the phone (does not matter if it says com5 or 6 etc.) then you can go from there, If not then you will need a jig, people here sell them, i saw connextion2005 sells them but there are others (like 8bucks) or you could make it is 301k resistors tied to one 2 pins of the usb (do a search if you are interested).

Then the sequence for the fix is to flash the Froyo first that does not brick (do not check repartition) once it begins to reboot pull the battery out (does not need to reboot) then flash the JFD on top and this time check the repartition

Let this finish reboot> then use super one click root or other of your choice. Then download CWM and Titanium backup...... flash your new rom and you are back in business.

Hope that helps
[Vibrant General] sfgairborne:
Thanks a ton! Open-source research indicates Odin is a proprietary tool used by Samsung techs, correct? I'm not at home right now, so I can't do anything with it, but I will download and run when I get home. Does it have to be run from Windows? I'm a Linux user. If necessary, I can build a VM, but if Odin will work easily in Wine, that's better for me.

Again, thanks for the help!
[Vibrant General] DynamicXL:
Odin is your one way stop to guarantee that your phone will always work, unless it's hardware issues.

I have used Odin to go back to stock so many times to clear data, to reflash ROMs or to recovery from splash screen loops or soft bricks. Always works like a charm.

You should check out CyanogenMod forums under Galaxy S and there is a step by step guide how to do it. That's what I use. Works always!
[Vibrant General] shreddintyres:
I have a friend running fedora and odin works fine for him, if you have problems with Odin there is another application out there called heimdall, you will have to excuse me as i have no experience with it, but have heard that it plays well with linux and unix systems when odin doesnt.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Try Heimdall: Here is a post I did last week:

Restoring via ODIN, as we speak. No idea how long it'll take, but I'll let you know the outcome. Again, thanks a ton!

And, I've definitely learned my lesson. Being a "computer guru," does not necessarily translate to being a "technology guru." I should probably RTFM before playing with things I don't know next time. If I can ever off you all any network security advice/assistance, please feel free to ask.

Words with friends is full of bugs wait a bit or give it a download and report your bugs to them. But I've already reported and uninstalled won't work on my phone
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Hydro360:
I take that back just changed my modem game is perfect now
[Captivate Themes and Apps] gunnyman:
Looks very beta. I get alerts when it isn't my turn, there is no way to turn down game volume, and there's a freaking ad after every turn. I'll wait until there's a paid version and the bugs are worked out.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wbcollins:
There was no game volume control in the iphone version, either. I don't know why they don't add that.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Hydro360:
There is a volume control look on the side of your phone... no the other side those two little up down key thingys. Press the down one... no the bottom one. Yes that one. There you have achieved volume control. Don't worry its the same setup the iphone had so your not in the stone age.

At this point I still like Wordfeud a lot better. No wasted space for a stupid title bar when viewing a board, very slow/laggy, ads everywhere, and I've come to like the random board in Wordfeud that makes the game really interesting.

+1 wordfeud is superior

for me its unfortunate because the friends and family i want to play against all have iphone and words with friends...so hopefully we see improvement.

anyone else having problems with it seeing your contacts? i had started a sep. thread before seeing this

but the issue i am seeing is that despite having tons of contacts on my phone the only contact it sees is my own gmail account when i select to add someone from contact list? any ideas?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] smeltn:
Little to flashy, which makes it smaller screen size. Looks like an update just came out to address a bunch of the issues you guys were talking about.

I prefer wordfeud but like others here, most of my friends/family have iphones/ipads, so this is fantastic so I can play against them.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wbcollins:
Yes. You are right about the "key thingys," but an in-app volume control or mute would be more useful. I personally think the shuffle sounds are distracting but don't want to turn down other media that I might be playing to avoid hearing them. ;)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] KPoon:
issues with words

in the past couple weeks, i've had the following page pop up as soon as i open up words with friends. i have to close and reopen it 10 times to get the screen to go away and let me actually open up a game. has anyone else seen this before, and does anyone know a work around beside just closing and reopening?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] pizz0wn3d:
Try installing it and opening wordfeud. 100% fix, you'll never see the screen again as long as you don't reinstall wordfeud.

XD

Herp derp Captivate XDA app.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Con_Valian:
If you are running a custom ROM it could be the host file is blocking the IP addresses of the ads that Words with Friends uses. I was having this issue and ended up going into the host file to edit out a few of the IPs that are used for WWF ads.

Here is an XDA thread to help with the IPs. You will have to do this each time you flash a ROM, but it works. Or you can save your edited host file and copy it over the new one after you flash.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] syoungblood95:
To solve that URL popup, download SGS Tools, go to Fixes, and Update HOSTS File. Worked for me.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] uhmump95:
After the last update, Words With Friends has been working fine for me. Even though I am enjoying Words With Friends is it worth downloading Wordfeud?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] KPoon:
tried to use the SGS tool for this, didn't solve the issue. I'll go in and manually edit the host files I suppose...

edit: i went back and cleared the data after the SGS tools, it works fine now...if only all my games didn't disappear. hopefully when my opponents play their moves the game will come back.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] axis01:
That's purely up to you. I like Word Feud better, mainly for the random board option. I quit using it when WWF came out since I can play with all my friends and not just the ones using Droid. Most if not all my Droid friends have switched so they don't have to check two different games all the time. If Word Feud crossed platforms, I believe they'd get a good market share since they have more options.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] TheQat:
I had that happen once with an older version.

I found if I either uninstalled/reinstalled, or went into the App Manager and cleared cache and deleted data, when I re-logged in and let it do it's thing, all the games came back.

Good news and a final breakthrough in getting a Compass App for Dell Venue Pro using the DVP's native COM dll (OurCOM.dll). This compass app was part of the EM App in DVP. All i did was extract the code out, clean it and put it as a seperate App.

Next target is the registry access with read and write..I'm excited.

Big thanks to Chris Walshie and others in this thread who got the native COM access working using reflection.

Have fun and let me know how it goes.

Note: You need to have a developer unlocked or chevron unlocked device to sideload this app.

***This app will only work on a Dell Venue Pro***.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
If it's using a Dell-specific driver, then no, it won't work with other OEMs. You'd need some abstraction layer to provide a standard API for accessing the compass, and if WP7 had that we probably wouldn't need homebrew apps in order to access it. :-/

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cheeva316:
OK well I have trying my best as a noob to research for 2 days not in and out on how to fix my issue

My friend tried rooting my phone and to install a different rom. I am on 2.1 and unfortunately I got the phone used with 2.1 already on it so I don't know if it was a leaked or legit 2.1 rom, and I am learning as I go here to fix this issue as I have never new how to do this stuff nor have I ever done it.

Where I am at now:

only thing that happens when I hit power is the phone "vibrates then stays on the 3 skateboard screen" or press "volume down + power" and it goes to the Hboot screen. I go into recovery and it goes to clockworkmod and from there after trying to install any roms from the sd card it says on the last 3 lines

"E:Failure at line 9:

copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:

Installation aborted.

and every time I go back or power up to the Hboot screen it does not have any "update bar" (I guess if this was done right as I read on other threads there should be some type of update bar) on the right corner or any other options "for me to select" accept:

FASTBOOT

RECOVERY

CLEAR STORAGE

SIMLOCK

and then with some other info above the Hboot highlighted in blue

I have tried formatting the sd card a bunch of times, I did the clearing of the "wipe data, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvikcache" as I read to do over my reading, but I see that if I go under any restore options under clockwork, no files are found for me to back up too so I am seeing he did not back up any of my info, I also have tried using 2 different ds cards.

So more less it looks like my options are to get this fixed from the only place my phone will boot to with options and thats when I press volume + and power so I guess loading whatever I need to my sd card>>if thats an option or am I screwed, I have seen many tutorials but none of them start where my particular position is stuck at in Hboot. this is my only phone and I had to buy a prepaid which is just about out of minutes, I put an add on craigslist trying to get someone I will pay to fix my issue but no luck, please I need help and I will pay u somehow to guide me through this of my exact issue, I was trying to get to rom 2.3 but if it's easier to get back to 2.1 rom then so be it.

PLEASE!~~

http://www.mediafire.com/?qxpi5wsx5lzbhbo

http://www.mediafire.com/?4tg67hck7vh1xxs

Edit: Flash the "rootme.zip" first then follow the rest.

Now what you need to do first is extract the "nandroid" file to somewhere you can easily find it.

Now take the folder called "nandroid" along with all the other zip files you downloaded and place them on your sd card. Put your sd card in your phone and power on with volume down+end. Press volume up. Use the trackball to select "Backup/Restore". Use the trackball again to select "Nand Restore". Use it again to select "HT9BGHG01402". Use it again to select "BDS-20110125-0901". Let the restore run, then power off your phone. Turn your phone back on with just the power button, let it run (might even take up to 10 minutes for the phone to start up). Let me know if the phone boots up or not after about 10-15 minutes. This should work and if it does then we can go from there, even to getting you 2.3 if you want.

You might be asking, what the hell is he having me do ? Here's what i'm doing. I made a nandroid backup a few months ago of when I had kaosfroyov39 which is a 2.2 rom. I am going to have you flash MY backup to YOUR phone which when done right, CAN work. Anyway, let me know what happens and remember to give the phone about 10-15 minutes to boot all the way.
