There is a free android app for verizon fios that allows dvr programming... but there is also one called 'fios mobile remote' that allows actual control of the tv while watching it, and throwing pictures from your phone to the tv screen at any time.
I love FiOS, and have had it since it came here. Controlling my TV with my Android phone would be great.
Can someone tell me how to spoof this app or unlock it or something? There is mysteriously zero info on an update for the app to include DI, and it's not a Motorola thing because the HTC Imagio can do the same thing for WM.
I didn't even know this app existed, and couldn't find it on the market. Does Verizon make this as well, or is it from a third party developer?
yes. i doubt verizon developed the app, but they released it. It's called "Fios Mobile Remote", and I found and even downloaded it from the Market. search verizon. Anyways it gives a pop up that says this application is exclusive the the MotoDroid.
However... Windows Mobile has the same app, and it's for the HTC Imagio.
I want this app to work. I know it can, its not exclusive to one hardware maker or another. It uses Wifi to communicate. And it's one of those things that when someone goes hey what kind of phone do you have? The Incredible? Isn't an IPhone better?
And I say nope. Can an Iphone do this? change channel. Or this? Throw a pic up.
i vote for a att uverse application. though i know unlikely on a verizon phone. would be hella cool. since i get my uverse complimentary with my rent check.
Hi,
just had a look at this: http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/12/adobe-flash-player-leaks-for-motorola-xoom-we-go-hands-on-vide/
I am not worried about performance (or maybe I should be?) but my question is:
will it be possible to "cheat" hulu and get access to its free content from Xoom/Galaxy Tab/etc.
In regard of performance... My Wife's Atom in Samsung NC10 struggles to play 480p full screen from hulu, it is simply not watchable... my Asus 1201N (with 2 cores of the same Atom) has no problem (+ it gets extra power from GPU). Where do you think Tegra 2 is if compared to those to (I know these are different chipsets but I am asking about user experience - what to expect?).
Only Hulu Plus is available on mobile devices, due to their network contracts. Hulu Plus has not yet been released for Android, but it's coming soon. A service called PlayOn circumvents it, but you have to have a PC streaming it to your mobile device, and it's not free.
1. I read somewhere that some android phones with flash can access hulu free... but can not find any more info about it.
2. Netbooks wit 3g modem built in (like my friend's Nokia Booklet 3G) are to me mobile devices as well - it is not very fair on hulu side.
3. Tablet with Windows... is it a mobile divice?
4. Why not the same rules to all?
:-( I know it is not your fault it is just my frustration as I can not pay from my location for hulu plus :-( All I can get is hulu free and if it is not on tablets... than I am screwed.
Unless someone has a paypal account and is willing to pay in my name?

I pay monthly and would have no problem letting you use my login information.
I got my own account that I use - with VPN it is not a problem, but I can not get a Hulu Plus because from Poland I can not pay for it :-(. Credit card has to be registered in USA as service is for USA.
Off topic:
It is completely crazy from my point of view that they will not allow ppl. like me to pay and watch. It does not make any sense (both for copyright owners and services like hulu or netflix themselves). but...it is what it is...

Thanks for the offer man - I will talk to you on priv if I may - SNL is the main reason for me to get Hulu Plus.

1) Yes i watch hulu on my evo, but its through a hacked version of flash. This has not been done for the xoom yet.
2) Mobile os device like ios/windows mobile/android are being blocked by hulu.
3) Depends if its running mobile or full windows.
4) It is the same.

How can you say so if it is not true?
If you have mobile device running Windows (full) you do not have to pay.
if u look in the xoom dev section there is a hacked version of flash that can play hulu. you also have to follow the instructions for the user agent change too.
zorack: thanks +1 - i wonder if something similar will be available for GT10.1
Watch my very long and unprofessional flash demonstration. About 14 minutes in I show HULU playing on the XOOM utilizing playon. It's much better than what we could ever expect from such a busy site as HULU. Not to mention it bypasses all the hacking crap.

Mobile device is something you can carry around with ease...Mobile os is the key though.
Sent from my Xoom
That is exactly what I am saying... if mobile device is something you can carry with you than netbooks and tablets are mobile devices. If so... allowing owners of some to access stuff for free (and not as a part of the deal - included in price) and other not is just not fair.
If hulu is not loosing money on ppl. accessing and watching thorough PC desktop/netbook/tablet what changes if the same person wants to watch the same thing on Android device?
Nothing.
I could understand that iPad owners pay extra snice streams for them need additional effort to play (no flash in device), but the rest...
I just simply do not like it :-(
Exactly, the Asus Eee Slate is a tablet that runs Windows 7, and isn't restricted to content at Hulu.

With what I had in mind, risk is only at my side - not yours
As I am sending YOU money not the other way round.
@ethan.r.besbris: are u still willing to help? (I mean as soon as I actually have a tablet) - for now I got hulu free on PC.
Flash Overview Video
I posted a video of flash on Xoom for users out there who don't want to install the pre-release version or don't have a xoom.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yqAwMOlO_U
Cheers!
Not bad, but I hope official release will be improved (honestly I doubt... it will get better).
I don't know how sleeplesninja can say that there is no freezing when in both videos there was freezing :-(
We'll see...
Another question is will introduction of Flash to Xoom/Honeycomb and browsing experience have an influence on battery life and if so how big?
Example... how many h. of video playback of downloaded files (avi, divix, etc...) and how many h. of flash video playback (will I be able watch 1,2,3 movies from hulu?)?
Hi everyone
I haven't posted / lurked the firums here since back when I baught my original nexus one phone.
Shortly after that the iPhone 4 and eventually the 4s came out and I have found it hard to go back to android ( I liked the simplicity of iOS)
Lately i am getting over the struggle between Apple and the hackers that allow customers do do what they want with their device. ( I always have my iPhone hacked just so I can run the tweaks apple don't provide)
The apple tv pairs quite nicely with my iPhone and I have also hacked that to run plex so I can stream from my pc.
Development for plex on apple tv is slow and usually buggy due to apples restrictions and every update means developers need to wait for a jailbreak before they can continue development..
Which brings me to the point of this post. The nexus q just might be what I need to come back to android.
These are what would convince me to come back
1. Streaming from pc not just from google play ( I believe it's already being worked on / almost done )
2. Plex / other apps like airtight working ( I believe they should eventually)
3. This would be the icing on the cake. Being able to start a movie / tv show that is on my pc over 3G. Eg. Tge girlfriend is at home and wants to watch a movie but is not too tech savvy so I load plex or a similar app on my phone while I'm at work and select a movie from my library that is on my pc at home and it starts playing on the nexus q!
Should these become a reality I would buy a galaxy s3 and a nexus q right away.
What other things would MAKE you buy a nexus q?
Well only two reasons prevent me from buying one.
Nexus Q is not available in Europe
No Music/Movie/TV Shows in the german Play store
So without the ability to stream whatever I want without the Play Store, it is quite useless at the moment. As soon as stable Custom Roms allow me to stream over WiFi and/or run XBMC I'll import one.
I like the Design, the basic Idea and well, Android. I just don't get why Google kind of messed this up by leaving it up to the Community to make this Ball of any use.
I am hoping the awesome devs have this thing cracked wide open with opportunity soon.
As for the leaving it to the community i kind of like the idea. Its like Google saying we trust the community and don't want to influence them one way or another so they gave them pretty much an empty slate to work with.
You can do music. vpn into music.google then it activates.
I just wish this thing wasn't $299.

I have activated music, however I can't order anything since checkout does not let me buy stuff with my credit card. Besides that I'd have to use a proxy 24/7 which slows down everything. That is not the kind of "experience" google wants to deliver and I don't want to have it either.
It is time that Google goes global with those things, can't be that hard...

My guess is the problem lies with the content deals being restricted by geographic region. Blame the content owners.

I say a realistic price would spur my purchase. $99.
Frankly, with my PC connected to my TVs and audio receiver already, and my phone, tablets, etc already able to connect to my PC and/or TV, I just don't see an advantage to this device.
I'm sure the new nexus q will have some awesome features, I'm not sure about the ones you need but the wonderful thing about android is I'm sure one of our great developers will make that all possible. I have the q and I like it, I'm definitely going to need some more features to really love it but what I have now is great... Especially because it's free.
The new one will most likely be cheaper and have more features I think that it will be better than the Apple tv.

I have a ps3 and I can stream content to it via Wi-Fi from my PC or my nexus 7.... really no reason for a Q. If I were to get it, it would be because it looks cool.

+1 I was pretty excited about the Q when I first saw it. I liked the design, the size of it etc but the reviews had me thinking I was better off with my PS3 set up.
hey
has anyone hacked one of these to do other things
Someone needs to buy/donate one of these for a capable dev for Christmas.

Of course. The thing that I did immediately was get SqueezePlayer running on it. This allows the Q to play local music over the network in just about any format (e.g. mp3, 24-bit flac, etc.). Control is handled by an app on your phone/tablet like Orange Squeeze, Squeeze Commander, Logitech Squeezebox Controller, or by pointing your browser to the Logitech Media Server's web interface. Oh, by the way, this also works with Squeezebox apps (e.g. Spotify, Pandora, Rhapsody, Slacker, MOG, etc.). Checkout the list here: http://www.mysqueezebox.com/appgallery
The Q has a ton of potential right out of the box and is easily worth what it is going for on eBay these days - if the user is savvy enough to exploit its potential.
I think the Q was the perfect device for a place like a bedroom where you'd otherwise just have a simple shelf unit (or I do at least). It's more convenient and a bit cleaner than always connecting your phone to the aux input. Plus, it's nice to be able to control it remotely.
The only thing is that it's too expensive. It's priced as a high-end device, but in most of us already have a "high-end" solution for this sort of thing (ie: a PC or similar) which can do a lot more. A device like the Q needs to be [just a bit] cheaper so that it can compete with a shelf unit. Though I realize I'm not the first one to say this.
I recently jumped ship to Windows Phone from android and was able to participate in the Nokia World of Apps promotion for a free $20 app voucher and am trying to figure out what to spend it on.
I plan on getting Rayman Jungle Run, and maybe Civilization Revolution, but otherwise I'm not really seeing anything I want to buy.
What are your recommendations?
to get discounts check Store Deals, AppDeals and myAppFree... some popular games also sometimes go for free, only you need to wait, for example Angry Birds collection was 2 times free, now is most of Disney collection free)...
also check App Social from Nokia to get recommendations for popular apps... if you cant find it in store, install SysApp Pusher
also here few interesting pay apps with trial to check if you interested:
OneShot - good camera app
MoliPlayer Pro - video player with subtitle support...
Guys I want to buy shield tv but a few question before I do
is it worth it ?
Also does buying it from UK have any difference than buying it from U.S ? or it's all the same and it depends on the country I login from or the kind of account I use on it ?
Do I have to pay for GeForce Now to Stream my games from a gaming PC ? if not what am I paying for in Geforce now ?
I read I can install apk sideload stuff but do apps like popcorn work on it ?
and if I do get it should I update it or not ?
Can I mirror windows on the Shield ?
For me the purchase was totally worth the price. I opted for the pro bundle with the remote control and stand. Even with the add-ons, for me, the cost was still acceptable. With the new Marshmallow update, it makes it easier to format a micro SD card for internal storage, so you can get the less expensive 16gb version and just drop in a 128GB micro SD.
There is no real difference if you are using it in the UK. If you plan to subscribe to GeForce Now, there is not difference in content from the US.
You do not need to pay for a GeForce Now account to stream your PC games. You will just need to have a compatible Nvidia graphics card on your PC.
I don't have popcorn installed, so I am unable to comment on it.
If you do get it...consider updating if only for the ability to format a micro SD for internal storage.
Shield TV has Chrome cast built in so you can "Mirror" your desktop by casting it from the Chrome browser via a chrome extension.

Thanks for the reply!
But so I have to " Pay " 8 Dollars For me to stream my games from my Gaming PC to the Shield TV? I remember having the shield handheld and I didn't pay for streaming my games from PC to Shield .
Now I have to pay for it x.X that's a huge let down
No, you only have to pay if you want to stream games from Nvidia's cloud gaming service. Streaming from your own PC is free, but your PC must have an Nvidia graphics card.
If you want to remotely control your PC from your Shield then Teamviewer should work, but I haven't tried it.

Worth it.
I would go with the 16GB version and get a 128 or 200GB SD Card. It takes less time to change firmwares if you are into that. I have the 500GB and just to root it you need to unlock it. This process takes about 2 hours. But on the 16GB it takes a lot less time. Around 5 mins. Huge difference. Plus with Android 6.0 and adoptive storage the 16GB +128GB is a lot better managed since essentially you have more space locally to add games. Some of my games are about 2GB. They add up quick.
That being said, I wish I went with the 16 GB.
As for for the HUB. It is nice for $8 a month(3 month free trial).
The reviewers say "It is like having Netflix for games". Kind of true. True you do have many free games to choose from but there are many that cost big money. Some games are PC games and some are Android(Google Play).
Take for instance LEGO Jurassic park. It is $40 on the game HUB. And $5 in the Market. The HUB version is CO-OP and the Market version is not. I have not done much streaming to local PC but found it for $12 online. If you do not have an nVidia card there alternatives. I just have not took the time to experiment. I do know the alternatives do work. Sometimes just as good as the nVidia solution.
Another is Star Wars: Knight of the Republic Through HUB/Google Market $9.99 or get it for $0 through Amazon Under Ground.
Keep in mind a lot of games on Amazon Underground that are free mean they are free. That means the in-game items are free as well if noted. E.g. Sonic Dash and Beach Buggy Racing. Just look for the Actually Free banner on the game icon. The Actually Free means you can level up or get better gear and not have to pay for it. One caveat. You may be saving online to the Amazon Eco system instead the Amazon Eco sytem. No biggie if you know this ahead of time.
And as for connecting to the shield remotely some good choices are:
1. As said before TeamViewer. This is good if you get it to work. I had it working on Stock and StockRestyle but something happened and I no longer can get it to work. It does work on Full Android 1.2. Image quality is pretty good.
2. Droidmote works too but use an earlier version. The newer version will not see your mouse or keyboard actions. Image quality is so so(for me).
3. Vysor works pretty good but you will need ADB on and your Shield connected via the USB cable to your PC with the correct drivers loaded. You can also share a web link to a system outside of your network and connect that way. This seems like a temporary connection. Image quality is pretty good.
4. RemoDroid works too. As far as I can tell you need to be on the same network. You can connect to shield form another Droid of with a PC using the IP or the recommended JavaClient.
The Shield TV is great.
But take these in consideration
1. Do I want to plug and play? This works for that but you will find out that the options may be limited for you if you you like to time.
2. This is a powerful little box and if you want to go further than stock and are willing to try things the playing field will get bigger.
Research. Then research some more.
Check out Stock Restyle and Full android Marshmallow. Read everything. Some things are easy to do, some things are spread out and others impossible to know about if you have not read every post. This is just the nature of a message board. I am sure someone will put all the tips and tricks in a #1 post or sticky somewhere.
These of course is my opinions. Any products and prices are my experience. I do not want to push anyone in to any direction not of their choosing.
