Sirius App - EVO 4G General

New app for Sirius on market place. Can anyone install this and confirm it as being compatible on EVO. It was one of the apps I was worried about losing when I drop the iphone next week for the EVO.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/sirius-xm-android-app-hits-the-market/
Thanks.

Why would it not work?

dont know. just going off of what i read in the article. said something about list of confirmed devices. so....
doesnt hurt to have a confirmation.

I downloaded this app on my EVO 4G. It works fine.

awesome. thanks.

is it xm or sirius?

Both. Same company now.

I just got an email from Sirius yesterday that there Android App is out. I was so excited. It should work on the EVO. I had it on my TP2 and loved it. I can't wait to get my EVO next week.

works on my HTC Touch running Android too.

I verified it. It is running XM. Though they are the same company now and have merged many of their channels, they still have a few subtle differences. Mainly for me, I like to listen to the Opie and Anthony show. It's available on XM, but if you have Sirius, you have to pay more for the best of XM package.

works on my htc hero. wonder how much for a scrip. to just stream to your phone?

I'm pretty sure you have to get a full subscription, and then the add on to be able to stream.
for me, its no big deal. i already got the sub since i have it in my jeep. but i added the stream add on for when i'm in my wifes car, or at work. i know a lot of people like slacker and pandora, and i do to. but for 3 bucks a month, its a good option also.

I have it in my car and online at the beginning was always free with having it in your car than they changed it.. So I've had a subscription for a while. I just got offered a deal when my sub was up if I prepaid for a year.

It's running perfect. Listening to Zeppelin now.
Loads quick and good quality.

I can't even locate the app in the Market. Typed in 'Sirius' 'XM' 'satellite' 'radio' ... nothing

On what phone Android the Hero? I can't wait to get my EVO. My new Jawbone Icon is suppose to play MP3's and Podcast so I hope it works for Sirius. On my TP2 it was under the market place under Sirius I believe. But for my Android I got an email link I think where to get it from..

My review:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6863627&postcount=9
Sirius would be such a great company/service if they did ANYTHING or added even ONE suggestion to their devices from their customers. It's too bad, such a great idea for music and uncensored talk, but of course run by NYC a-holes...

I'm I blind or is there no Howard 100 in this app?? Come on, half your subscribers are here for that channel alone!

[Q] Media Hub V. ?????

Ok. So the media hub is out. Looks like you can rent and/or own movies depending on title. The renting is 2.99. I've found own for 9.99 and 12.99. I'm a little worried about paying DVD prices (or somewhat less for some titles) and not getting the DVD, or getting the ability to transfer to another viewing device, ie. dvd, computer. Anyone know what the lowdown is on transfers, etc? I know I've had a hard time trying to find a movie that I can actually put on this phone via dvd ripping from my own dvd library (if that's even legal) or for download from any legal source online. At least the media hub has that going for it.
Anyone know if there are other avenues to actually use the awesome power of this device to watch movies in my palm? Is Media Hub better than?
Ps. I think it is funny that Forrest Gump is listed as comedy. Nice job classifying that one guys.
it still says coming soon for me :/
*edit* oh nevermind i see, its a system update to get it. XD

Nope, just Vibrant as far as I can tell.
Does it bill to your Sprint bill or is there separate payment information?
probably have to stop by the store so they can take a melon baller to your seat cushion.
I'm not really sure how the payment works. I exchanged my phone today due to the back button issue. Now I haven't received the new update yet.
Media hub payments
Ok. So I broke down and bought the latest star trek. Basically, you enter your credit card information into Media Hub the app stores it there (actually, I think it stores it on Samsung's server). I don't think there are any alternatives. Now, based on the current download rate and percentage, I should be able to watch it sometime next week.

3G? 4G? Wifi? On 4G, the previews always played for me instantly. Even the 2 and a half minute trailers.
I watched a few previews over 4g. I have to admit the video quality was excellent and playback smooth. This might be good for an occasional rental, but once netflix comes out for Android they can kiss this goodbye.

download speed and AllShare
Well it looks like there is no AllShare support. Can't push this thing to my TV (actually PS3) for viewing. The movie doesn't show up in the AllShare list. I'm not surprised I guess, just disappointed. My guess is that the movie is not being stored in any meaningful format so AllShare couldn't read it if it wanted to. Of course, there could be a way around or some setting I'm missing. I don't think it's a setting at this point though. Media Hub has no settings anywhere that I can find.
The video quality is pretty awesome, no skips, studders, sloops, woops, or whillips. The sounds wasn't *bad*. It's a decent movie viewing experience - even for a big screen action blockbuster. Would be awesome during a long flight, or similar, without having to drag along extra electronics.
However, combined with there currently being no mini-usb to hdmi cable means no support to watch Media Hub movies on a bigger screen. Looks like I'm back to looking for another solution to watching movies on my phone. 12 bucks isn't really a good investment vs. the actual DVD/Blueray (3 dollars more on Amazon). If I was wealthier, maybe. I think this means I won't be using Media Hub, except for the one movie I already paid for.
About the download speed:
I didn't bother trying to watch it before the download was finished so I don't know if that is possible. I think it was a 1-2 hour download but I didn't keep track, maybe I could have started it sooner. Not to bad I guess (over wifi). I couldn't imagine doing this over 3g...definitely an overnight thing.

MLB.tv: No Streaming for Epic 4G

Well - thank you Samsung.
MLB.tv updated the AtBat2011 app today to include live streaming on Android devices. Woohoo, right?
Well, not so much. Because Samsung has delayed the official FroYo release for the Epic, the Evo is the only Sprint Device that is supported for live video streaming. Of course, I'm sure my ACS FrozenROM could handle the requirements, but because the Epic isn't officially supported the video option doesn't even show up.
I doubt there are any tricks to spoof device ID, but if anybody has any ideas, that would be great.
Otherwise, I just have one more reason not to buy another Samsung device again. Or, more properly, one more reason to be upset about the FroYo release (or lack thereof).
Here's the link to the app: https://market.android.com/details?...android.gameday.atbat2011.full&feature=banner
I feel your pain on this one. I got the update this morning and was psyched about it. But I was quickly let down when I notice my Epic wouldn't work!!
Thanks for this update. I almost bought it yesterday, then I saw that MLB partnered up with Apple for a free month trial for iPhone users. Hoping for the same Android deal, I see that it's wrought with problems still and not ready for primetime.
The Nexus S is supported, so is there a way to spoof the Epic as a Nexus S? I thought I remember seeing somewhere that one of the ROMs was using a modified market using a Nexus S identifier. Could the same approach be used here?
LIVE GAMES!? GET THIS TO WORK, NOW!!!! I always loved getting the radio feeds but if I can get the actual games, I'd freak the hell out...
speaking of that...when i goto mlb.com on a winmo device..gameday doesnt drop down anymore???? i havent found a way for gameday to come up on the epic, if there is one. but i also would love to listen to the games, anyway to do this on the epic??
Yea, the MLB app. It's $14 but well worth it if you use it as much as I do. I'm dying for live stream of games.

Not without some kind of tweak it appears, I've got the MLB11 App and I'm on Bonsai and don't see any live video options so it seems to still be reading it as an Epic.

If you can afford it, get Slingbox. They run from $150 to $250... The Solo (the lesser priced one- beware) has some issue with capacitors.. Anything that you can get on your TV can easily be forwarded to your device. I have an Epic, as well. Slingbox forwards me my MLB account (from Roku)... I also get Netflix, Hulu Plus, and lots of other stuff.. music YouTube, International News, etc. If I have a net connection, I can watch and listen to anything on my TV or Roku
To afford all this, I cut my Uverse account back to basic at $19 a month plus box rental. I was spending $90 a month prior to hooking up Roku and Slingbox. One time investment only for Slingbox and Roku. You will have to fork out the $29 for the Slingbox Mobile for Android app to accomplish this. It includes clever remote control codes to manipulate your TV and other hardware at home.
MLB looks fabulous on Roku this year. Last year, it was problematic. This year, great.
You'll be watching the World Series and all the playoff games without forking out any more money. It's a great way to go. Im saving a lot of money. I use it off and on when work is slow.. watch a couple innings, etc.. When we travel, I use it.. .I also use the Sling software on my laptop.
So if live radio working? I want this app.

So I went ahead and installed CM7 Alpha 1 to see if that works, but no such luck. When I go to my account on the market (web version) it shows the phone as a Samsung SPH-D700 under Model. When I'm on another ROM it shows up as just SPH-D700 and the manufacturer is the same in both cases (Samsung)

Who else got invited to Google Music Beta?

From the e-mail I got from Google, I've aparently been invited because I own the Xoom 3g, and am currently paying for 3g service from Verizon.
But whatever the reason, I got the invite.
I still haven't recieved the update for my Xoom yet, and I don't think you can get the Music app in the app store until the update, so i've been forced to try the beta in "Browser" which is a bunk.
As far as desktop goes, it works well, but on the Xoom, it lags a little, and will only play the music if the tab for the player is open. (which really I guess is to be expected, and why there is an app for it.)
Regardless, it is quite simple to use, and in itself, is a very simple layout. There isn't really anthing special, it reminds me of itunes (as far as strictly listening to music, not including the store and all the extra jazz.) They have what they call "Instant Mixes" which is pretty much the genious mix in apple, except it will only create a 25 song playlist.
One nice thing about it, is whatever player you choose it to upload your songs with, it carries over the playlists.
There is a "New and Recent" section beside Album, Song, Genre, and Artist like on the Xoom. Also, a small but nice selection of free songs that you can choose to have imported into your cloud when you sign in the first time.
I really will have to wait till I can test the app to make any final decisions on this.
As far as I'm concerned, cloud based music storage is pretty much useless to me. I can survive with 5-10 gigs stored onto my Xoom that I can listen too without ever needing to connect to the internet. (I don't need to use my 10$ a gig data from verizon for something that should be free) Once we get our SD slot working, this will become especially true. It is cool to be able to have your music anywhere in the world, but not if you think that you have to pay Google for this service, then pay for the data while using the service.
But I will go at it with an open mind for anyone that would find this of interest, because well, I guess it's part my duty since I recieved an invite. If you also recieved an invite please let me know what you think about it.
I got in the beta as well. The biggest thing for me when it comes to cloud music is not worrying about transferring music to my devices or computers anymore. I'm always worried about backing up my music and syncing across all my computers. Now if I reformat any of my devices be it tablet, phone or laptop I can get my music from anywhere and redownload it if needed.

It is weird... i got on the Music page before the keynote and signed up for the Beta with the same email as the one my Xoom is connected to and I still haven't gotten anything.... kinda sucks.... maybe that caused everyone to assume we were just another user instead of Xoom users

See, I don't think you will get an invite just for owning a xoom..... Here is exactly how the e-mail inviting me was phrased (Please note, i did not sign up for an invite, i just got it)
Hello Motorola XOOM user,
We'd like to tell you about some changes to the Music player on your tablet. The latest app update now supports Music Beta, a new service from Google. As a Verizon Motorola XOOM user, you’ve been extended an early invitation to beta test this service.
Music Beta lets you store your personal music collection online and access it instantly without the hassle of wires or syncing.
Enjoy your music anywhere — listen on any web browser, your Motorola XOOM, or any other device running Android 2.2 or higher.
Save your favorite albums, artists, and playlists on your smartphone or tablet so you can keep listening even when you're not connected.
Create your own custom playlists or build them automatically from a single song.
Note also that is says Verizon Motorola XOOM user... I guess this could be explained by any 3g model, but I actually have my data active, so I imagined that's why I received the invite.

Not that I can see. I have yet to receive the 3.1 update, but I received the invite, signed up, and also downloaded the updated Music app from the market. I haven't uploaded any songs yet, but I can stream the two dozen or so tracks they gave me for free. Works well, pretty simple, audio quality is actually pretty decent - on the Xoom speakers, haven't tested on my Sennheiser headphones though.

Oh, so it's just an update to the stock music player I need?
I have active data on my 3G xoom w/ Verizon also, so it's weird they would pull random people, but I guess that may not be weird. I have 3.1 on my xoom after doing the force push update from BRD. I also have the new beta music app on both my tablet and my phone lol. I have not received an invite though...What I do like is the ability to get movies through the Android Market but I don't think that's part of this?
Oh well then
I pay for 3G service on my Xoom as well, and I haven't gotten an invite, or the dam update!
lol
Should be noted my 3g xoom has never had vzw service and I got the xoom invite email.

So i guess a good question is, have any WiFi Xoom owners gotten the email with out requesting an Invite?
At I/O, Google said that Music was a beta program with a limited audience initially: all attendees got an invite. There are two components: the new player, and the backend service. I believe they are independent of one another, such that you can download the Music Beta app in the Market but still not be admitted to the beta of the service.
Apologies if this was all already obvious: I just wanted to clarify for folks in case it wasn't clear as there are a few moving parts.

I believe you are correct. Anyone can download the updated Music app from the Market, but unless you got an invite and signed up, you can't use the whiz-bang features of the Music beta service.
On both my EVO and Xoom, I was able to update the app and signed into it thanks to the invite I received.
Ya I have activated 3g Xoom on Verizon so I am unsure as to WTF is going on lol
I have the 3G Xoom but do not pay for the service, and I've had it since day 1. I'm not rooted, and I have not received the 3.1 update yet.
I requested an invite for Music before the keynote Monday with my main gmail account. I have 2 other accounts tied to my xoom, but I initially signed into my xoom with my main account.
About 30 minutes ago, I got an invite to Music in one of the secondary accounts tied to my Xoom (one I did NOT request an invite with).
Currently uploaded about 500 songs, about 18k to go. This is exciting!
Now I just need my 3.1!

Well however they're doing it, I'm glad I got the invite as it works quite well. I don't know about other cloud services as I have not tried them, but the way all the music stored on the cloud and all that is stored on your XOOM blend together in the same app is sweet.
Unfortunately I am still waiting on my update. I just wanted to add that.
Got two invite e-mails (24 hours apart) so ok. But no 3.1 update.

Sign Up For Spotify!

Hey guys click the link and enter your email address to sign up for Spotify. They are coming to the USA!
http://www.spotify.com/uk/coming-to-the-us/
Done! Thanks for the tip...
Thank you!
I can really recommend Spotify, I've been using it daily for the past three years here in Sweden. Also it's nice to have your music available on your computer, phone and Transformer.
I can't wait! I currently use Grooveshark which isn't bad but they're not great on reliability; they have some server/dropouts issues.
They also aren't great on customer complaints....
I'm REALLY looking forward to this.
Ghosttown the best music app on android
I already signed up for it. It's free right I'm not sure how Spotify works or anything. I know there is a paid option that allows local storage.
Although I already have Zune (Love it) so I dunno why I'd use this...oh right it'll work on my TF.

Far from it...lol....
If you are looking for accuracy of your chosen music it does a horrible job...it shows the album that the song came from and then it might (not always) play a cover by someone of that same song...it can't differentiate versions of songs...it's no different than putting in youtube "bruce springsteen darkness edge of town" and hopefully getting the right song.
Groove shark is better and Slacker is better. (but you have to put up with a different mix of "similar songs" if you don't want to pay)
I think it's worth 9.00 a month and I'm sure that Spotify will be very good (from what I've seen)

WIME Nano Smartwatch, looks nice

Interesting Android smartwatch here. It can actually be used as a standalone phone, bands are GSM/GPRS Quad Band:GSM 850/900/DCS 1800/PCS 1900 MHZ (can this be used on AT&T?).
What I'm not seeing is if it can be used as a dialer for your phone, so you can just leave it in your pocket and make and receive calls like the Gear.
What do you guys think? I'm tempted to get it just to play around with.

Doing some further reading, yes you can initiate a call to your phone with it, woot! It also has music over bluetooth and local storage. It looks like it has no speaker/mic so you have to use a headset with it, boo, but that's ok.

Feature phone software, bleh.
Although I guess for 100 bucks you can't expect it to run Android.
Edit: Hmm, just noticed no where does it say there's a speaker built in...guess you have to use a headset to use it as a phone.
Also only compatible with Android 2.3-4.0. Doesn't say it works with newer.

Strange, I was also surprised by that 4.0 rather then 4.x reference. And I think you are right about headphone 3.5mm jack as the only way to listen to the music. Would have been great if they would include a camera in there.

Haha, first thing that crossed my mind when i saw it.
Dunno why but personally i find most smart watches just tend to look either dull, or just plain awful. Maybe it's because of the space they have to work with? Dunno :/
You guys realize it's a phone? It might be nice to have as a backup phone, or if I just want a tiny phone. It doesn't run apps, but I never had much use for apps on a 1.5" screen.
It's interesting, I may grab one just to play around with. It seems to have AT&T bands. I don't plan on using it like a watch though, it's too ugly like that. I'd just stick it in my pocket or clip it on.

We're fully aware. It's just between recent offerings like the Omate Truesmart and previous offerings like every chinese watch phone out there, this one seems like too little too late to really make sense right now.
If you want a cheap feature-phone watch check out what's available to get a style you like. This one is pretty big and ugly for what it does.

Thanks, do you have any links to any watch phones that work with AT&T like this one does? I did a google search and didn't find much, Chinese tech seems kind of hard to find on the internet.

I sort of want the microphone... it's a super tiny phone that was on indiegogo for like $50 when it launched. GPS enabled for a bit more, I think.

Have you tried amazon? I typed in watch phone and got 20 pages of results, all sorts of different styles. Most of them under $100
I just bought one and its sitting at the house I'll post a review tonight. Already want to sell cause I want android version, I didn't know others existed till a minute ago lol

So I got one and got to say this thing is a perfect companion for a phone at work. Built in mic allows you to answer on your wrist and be like I'll call you back it also has Bluetooth audio out and wireless headset support. Weird thing is contacts and messages won't work without a sim has to have one active or not I'm on Verizon so its pointless to try lucky I had art laying around and it vibrates!! This thing is sweet to be cheap!!!

From the watch description:
Smart Sync Function: Can sync with smart phone, downloading phonebook and call history (iOS 4.0+ and Android 2.3+) to the device. When using Android 2.3+ OS, download and install the WiMe NanoSmart APK on the Android device and the NanoSmart will sync with the Android device (Google calendar events, new Gmail notification, call history, phonebook, sent/received SMS).
Have you tried to install WiMe NanoSmart?
I'm on 4.3 AOKP linario I can't say its bougus but the contacts sync but....... With out each and every number having the country code in it it refuses to call or message weird right? Gmail hasn't worked or calendar. I refuse to downgrade for it. I use this to get away with texting and calling at work via mini Bluetooth headset and a beanie lol.
