AmazonMP3

i extracted and created the cab based on the HD2 leaked rom....havent used it to download anything, but here it is...you can thank me individually

Anyone have a short description of what this app does?

it allows you to purchase mp3's through your phone using amazon

Thanks. I will try it out since I purchase most of my mp3's through Amazon. I can't seem to preview songs on PIE or Opera 10. So I have been using SkyFire to listen to and purchase songs on Amazon. For those of you that don't know, once you set up your "one-click" purchasing options on Amazon you simply click, then tell navigate to where you want the mp3 saved and you have a truly portable high-quality mp3. Much better quality than iTunes (I feel sorry for those folks still using iTunes).

first of all thanks for doin this, i've been looking for an amazon mp3 app for months. so far it seems to be workin great, haven't bought anything yet, but will update once i have. again good job and thanks

Has anyone purchased anything with this yet? I keep getting "User authenticated: Fail"

Same here. I love the potential of this app, but for now it is easier for me to go through Opera or Skyfire. Here are the issues I am having:
The login settings seem to stick, but I also get the above "User authenticated : Fail"
After a search that brings up multiple results I can preview the song in many mp3 apps (TCPMP, WMP, PocketMusic). With all of these players, after I finish the preview and go back to the Amazon window, it goes back to the home page and I lose my search. In other words I cannot preview more than one song per search. So i have to do the search all over again to get to a second or third preview.
If I close the player that was previewing my mp3 the Amazon app closes as well. I have to leave the player open and task back to the Amazon app to keep it open. but again, it returns to the Home page and loses my search results.
When I click the 'Download' button on the Home page the resulting screen does not give me any way to return to the Home page. The only options are two soft keys, 'Clear List' and 'Retry Failed'.
This is a 'close but no cigar' for me. Anyone else not having those problems? I am on stock Tilt 2 ROM.

will this work in the UK or is it US specific?

Yeah I am also getting a user autenticated fail error. Oh well hopfully it will be officially released for Windows Mobile one day (or I guess when WP7 hits).

I am getting a user autenticated fail error too.

same error

Amazon MP3
Looks very nice but does not work, totaly useless because you cannot login.

Anybody get this to work?
Thanks..
Marc

All same issues here...
I would hope the person who modified the CAB would be checking this thread to see what is going on with it/update and fix bugs....

So how do i get this to work on my HTC HD2 then exactly?? please tell me1

authentication failed
I had this problem too. Have you rooted your phone, or perhaps uninstalled amazonmp3 and then reinstalled it? I started getting the authentication failure after I rooted my phone. I was able to solve the problem by creating a second account over at Amazon.com.
Elsewhere, I've read about people solving related amazonmp3 problems by going to the amazonmp3 menu and selecting something like "erase everything". (But I didn't know that when I solved my problem by creating the second amazon.com account.)

Open youtube video in high quality

Hi, the galaxy s has a beautiful screen and a powerful graphic card. It will be a waste if viewing video in normal or lower quality. However, when loading from youtube, the default video mode is normal quality, and it's quite troublesome to change the mode every time. Anyone knows the way to change the default to high quality?

download this youtube addon and install it on your phone.
it will enable a "HQ" button next to the play/pause buttons in the lower right corner of the display.
i think this also enables playing videos in HQ everytime you start playing a video, but I can't test this since I'm waiting for a replacement SGS.
regards

Wish program do you use to open this file "YouTubeHD.apk"? Can`t do it when i use winzip.

I tried it.. and now my youtube movies is awsome! thanks a lot

If you google youtubehd.apk you'll see a lot of results that suggest people are ripping the EVO 4G's youtube app and putting it on their phones. I'm not the original poster, but will assume that's where this is from before I hear otherwise.
I wish I'd thought of ripping the various apps off my EVO 4G before returning it to Sprint for a refund.

That would be exactly what I did, and I thank you so much for posting this

Thank you for this.
It looks like an official app.
Why do not google update this like the other apps?

it doesn't work for me.. it won't let me open saying it's not an authorized app from market..or something

here :
YouTube v1.6.19e.apk woks great on my desire & Galaxy s

thanks for the reply, but i'm getting the same message.
when i try to launch the file using ASTRO, it says install blocked, and says for security reasons, its set to block installation of apps not sourced in market..

Go to settings then applications -then click unknown sources, should work after that

ahhh i dont see unknown sources.. whats happening!!
sorry to be a bother

Well there is the HD button and it's defaulted on HD in JP3 firmware.. That suggest it will be so in the future official release too.

What phone do you have? The Captivate has had that removed from it. You can still install with adb or a sideloader app, I believe.

Just updated the firmware - and still this is needed. Thank you again!
However, it seems to default to normal quality, when on 3g network. I wish I could force it to hd/hq all the time?

XM Radio Froyo 2.2 Update is out XM 1.1

http://www.siriusxm.com/android/indexd.html
View attachment 403113

Awesome, love my XM.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Just tried it a bit. I'm on Fresh 3.2. It used to not even connect, just say "Aquiring Data Connection"
With this update it plays and doesn't loop, but it sure does jump and skip quite a bit. Guess it's a start....
Only Froyo ROM I've ever gotten SXM to work right on is CM6 - which I don't wanna go back to.

Nice thanks for the update. I guess signing up on their webpage for an update email was pointless.

Well thats how I found out they emailed me. Also make sure you dont have the stagefright fix since I am also running Fresh 3.2 and had to switch back to stock stagefright files in order for it to play properly.
1 hr running and no problems so far... Thanks XM

Please tell me what you did to stagefright. I know Flipz made some changes to it but I don't know how to undo them. In my build.prop the player is enabled and it still skips a lot.
Thanks!!

I am using Fresh 3.2 and the new SiriusXM app is working fine for me. I'd say about 3 skips every hour or so. I actually only use this for Bloomberg and CNBC - I much prefer slacker and pandora for music, so a couple of skips is no big deal for me.
What I desperately can't figure out is how to record a live stream off the sound card (for lack of a better term). All recording apps seem to use the microphone only. Any ideas so that I can listen to specific CNBC shows like Kudlow on my ride home?

Just extract the stagefright files from your original rar file and then ad push or copy and paste with Root explorer into the system/lib folder overwriting the files that are there now
Then replace the build.prop with the one from your original rom rar file as well.
I WIll try and attached them here for you.... what rom are you running

Actually, after a reboot, I'm finding no skips at all as well.

Hate to bump this thread up again, but seemed like the best place to post rather than making a new thread.
Is anybody having issues with SXM 1.1 and connecting in the past couple of days? Its worked flawlessly for me since the update, and I've been happy with it again. However, now, on startup, the application hangs on "Checking for Updates".
Tried clearing data, uninstall/reinstall, and hard reset fresh install. All no dice.
Anybody else having issues?

Video on gallery don't match.Froyo 2.2

Hello everyone.
I've just realized that after making a video if I delete it and shoot another one the little preview on the file shows the previous and deleted video,it does not match,so I have to go through all the videos in order for me to see the one I want to send or watch.
Has anyone had this issue?
Thanks so much.

Yep
Yep
having same issues with my streak....must have something to do with Album Art Caching....need to write an app for this...

Thank you very much for your reply.I thought I was the only one experiencing this.
Anybody else?
Last night I called Dell and they are gonna send me a new device,since this one is not even a week old.

Yeah me too.. a bit annoying but I got over it pretty quickly.

We all should report this,Dell needs to know,the more the better.
Did you find an app for this? any workaround?
Thanks.

Little workaround
I think I have just found a little workaround to solve this issue.I put my videos on a different folder on my computer,this is what I did after that:
-Go to sdcard (use Astro,Linda,windows file explorer will work too)then go to DCIM,you will see two folders camera and .thumbnails (just delete this one only)
Once you have deleted that one put the videos back on the camera folder,then take a look at the gallery on your streak,now the videos should be showing the real preview.
If you delete one of the videos the issue will be back and you will have to start the process over.After messing a little bit more with this folder I can see it does work.So if you come across the same bug give it a shot.

just initiate a new media scan..

Ok...I know it sounds very stupid specially after trying so many steps,but how can I do that....I'm sure I'm missing something.
Thanks.

Your phone should do a media scan when you restart, if that doesn't clear up the problem you can try an app like Rescan Media. It forces a media rescan without a reboot. There are others, that was the first I found.

Ok...I think I got it this time.Maybe it is one of the apps that do not autostart when I turn on the device,I use autostarts to disable apps and I must have disabled something that was not supossed to be off.
Thanks.

Grooveshark work around

Has anyone been able to find a way to use the Grooveshark desktop site without getting the "problem loading flash" error? I have read having flash 10.2 installed and using the Dolphin browser set to desktop user agent would work, but so far have had no luck on my Xoom or D1 without getting the error message. Also tried Skyfire and the stock browser with the about:debug trick, no dice. Anyone had any better luck, or other solutions that worked?

Have you tried TinyShark on the market?

Yeah that's what I have been using lately, but I would like to be able to load my playlists and everything from the grooveshark desktop site.

Am i missing something? Why not use the Grooveshark app in the market?

because online its free but the app makes you upgrade.

Oh ok, makes sense. I forgot i'm subscribed already.

Tinyshark lets you load your playlists too. The only benefit to the Grooveshark player is the offline cache ability. I tried it for a month and Tinyshark fit my needs just fine without paying $9 a month. When it was $3 a month it may have been worth it but triple the price and I'm out.

I think everyone that has replied has missed the point, I also am wondering if there has been a work around or if anyone is working on it, I think that with a tablet, we should be able to hit the real site and have flash work, why would we need to pay for an app or get an app that is made for small phones when we should be able to just go to the website.
I wish I was smarter with these dev things and I could work on it but I dont have the time to learn.
Hopefully someone that is reads this and wants the same thing, I love gooveshark but being that it is free from my desktop, I am not really wanting to pay for an app....
just my just my .02, thanks

Good luck man, I am hoping the update to the flash player will maybe work, but aside that I have had no luck in getting the desktop site to work on the Xoom and just started using the TinyShark app in the market. Not nearly as nice, but I will take what I can get until someone figures this out.

Flash also reports the client platform/OS, independent of the browser user agent, when connecting to a streaming server. I don't use Grooveshark, so I don't know if this is the reason you get the error, but it's a strong possibility.
Some people have had success with opening a file in Flash (first honeycomb release) in a hex editor and replacing the string "AND" (Android) with "WIN" (Windows). There were also some high jinks to get the change to persist, but a modified APK was made available that seemed to work for some users to access Hulu. I haven't followed it lately, but you could probably find more info searching for "flash for hulu".
EDIT: Here's the link: [MOD] Flash 10.2 Working HULU Updated: 4/29/11
Best case scenario is that someone has put out a modded APK for the current Flash release that also works with Grooveshark. If not, there might be another, less elegant solution.

I'm still debating on which tablet to buy xoom,asus or wait for newer models.
Does the GS app work on the honeycomb? Atrix users was complaining on their forums so that's why I'm asking
