Trying to download .rar files says "Cannot Download, The Content is not supported on this phone. " Anybody found a way around this? (Yeah we could all use our Pc's but seriously)
I remember this happening when I had the samsung moment and I sent that thing back.
Also. Has anybody found a way to turn off mobile Browsing? So annoying
TIA
Download astro file manager. In the settings for that program you can turn off browser restrictions on what files you can download.
I too would like to know how to disable mobile browsing on the default browser. I feel kind of stupid that I can't find the setting, but the more I look and don't find it, I'm beginning to think Samsung is stupid for removing the option...
My co-worker showed me how to do it. Type "about:debug" (without the " ")in the address bar then go to Settings and you'll have some new options at the bottom. Change the UAString from Android to Desktop and voila. Full desktop browsing experience.
Sometimes you just gotta dl stuff on the puter. Anyways, here's download crutch. People say get this program or that because it's built in. Here's the plugin without the program, just in case you don't have any need for the main program.

I have it on my phone but can't upload from it. I wish the devs would enable uploading from a browser.

wish I knew about this long ago! THANK YOU!
Edit: just realized this OP was from a while back, haha
ok, so a couple of questions about that "about:debug"
1. any way to get it to default to desktop? If you exit the browser you have to type and select it again
2. why is "iPhone browser" an option????
3. I no longer have dk28 installed (waiting for OTA froyo) but for those with working flash, will something like hulu work in full blown desktop mode (or iPhone mode)? My gut still says no, but when I visit hulu in iPhone mode it asks me to download the hulu application and in desktop mode it says nothing about being on android platform -- just that I don't have flash.

it dont work it says u need 10.0.32 also u could use skifire web browser from the app store it has flash built in.
Some websites that use browser detection don't properly recognize the android webkit browser. But they do recognize iphone. So to render some websites properly in a mobile view you can pretend your an iphone...luckily it doesn't turn you into a douche bag iphone user when activated.

I have Download All Files for downloading unsupported files. I went the Astro route for a bit, but I bought Root Explorer, so I didn't want Astro taking up space.
So apparently sprint thinks this is the iphone and we want our traffic filtered and/or proxied. This causes skyfire not to work with its flash video feature (and possibly other video/streaming apps, like a radio app I tried). But you can fix it and here's how (credit goes to sdx thread for the moment, will try and post link when back at pc):
##3282#
Multimedia
Input your msl (find it using adb command getprop, look for msl in readout)
Change rtsp proxy to 0.0.0.0 and rtsp proxy port to 0
Enjoy your unfiltered traffic!

Read the thread on the other site and I'd love to have this ability on my phone. The only problem I'm running into is where do i get the adb program from.

Skyfire seems to work just fine playing video for me. Every site I've gone too the video feature has worked w/o this fix.
I take it you need root for this?

Skyfire never worked for me prior to the fix. I always thought Skyfire was broken, turns out it was because of the server setting. Now Skyfire videos work fine.
okay do we set every setting to the 0.0.0.0 and port to 0, which ones.

Every value to all 0's. The entire settings page (proxy servers) are unnecessary. They are essentially "middle-men" between you and the internet that are unnecessary (unless you're sprint and you want to pick and choose what content your subscribers can see). All values under multimedia should be all 0's (0.0.0.0's for ip addresses, 0 for port). Hope you guys enjoy the service you're paying $10 extra for that SHOULD have worked out of the box.
Now lets hope some devs can sort out the upload issue that is obvious sprint has no intention on fixing as it seems almost guaranteed to be intentional, given that Sprint now has a record of trying to give us less service for our dollar, despite the network being able to support it...
Thanks for the fix. For once I was able to look at flash video with skyfire. Still skyfire doesn't recognize video on Veoh while Vevo still gave errors but its something till we get 2.2 and flash.

Yeah, my skyfire works great....just wish they would friggin add a fast forward so you can skip back to where you where after a phone call or something.
um how do you use connect bot. i dont even know how to connect to a host?
nvm figured it out 3seconds later
1) get it in the market
2) open it, tap where it says "ssh" or "telnet" and select "local" from the drop down
3) type anything in the box to the right to name it
4) type getprop and look for your msl in the readout
5) steal underpants
6) Profit

Yes I am on version 1.5 and it is mostly working
See this is the kind of thing the forums are for. I installed the fix and now my phone seems to be faster. Anyone else notice that?
I haven't noticed a speed difference myself, but I did my fix before the di18 update, so maybe its more pronounced 'before and after' after the di18. Just glad people are enjoying the fix (but more glad that I thwarted Sprint's attempt to stop people from getting the most out of the bandwidth they've paid for )

I keep having this weird problem with skyfire video even after applying this fix. I'll head over to southparkstudios with my uastring set to desktop using my home wifi connection, and when I try to play a video it cuts out every few seconds and seems like it's rebuffering. Anyone have any suggestions?
The weird thing is that it was working the first time I used it, but I got a phone call while watching that first time and it's never been the same. I've tried un/reinstalling it.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I also noticed this last night trying to play south park. Bandwidth to phone is fine, I can play daily show/colbert just fine. My guess is its some new method of streaming (still flash obviously,but something's changed) that causes issues with skyfires servers that play the file locally and then stream to us. Its possible this is intentional (like hulu) but my guess is not, because it will play, but stutters to the point of being unwatchable. Long story short, I'm 90% sure its on skyfire/southparkstudio's end, not the phone. Also hoping for a fix, if anyone else has any info I'd be happy to hear it.

Hi I did the update to 1.2 does anyone know how to make this hulu hack work for NC 1.2
--------
mobilecrunch . com /2010/ 05/ 24/ how-to-watch-hulu-on-android-2-2
(note remove spaces)
First up, open up your browser. Now, type “about:debug” (without the quotes, silly) and hit go. Click “Settings”, and scroll on down to the bottom to reveal the dastardly tricky “UAString”.
This is where the plan gets really cunning: you now change your user agent string — the bit of info that tells a website what type of device you are running — to “Desktop”.
From now on, Hulu (and every other website) will think you’re accessing it from — you guessed it — a desktop PC rather than a mobile device.
---------
thanks in advance
Hulu disabled the ability to do this on any android device about a day after somebody figured it out. There is a hacked Flash out there somewhere that can fool Hulu, but there won't be a way to run it until somebody roots 1.2.
That being said, doing the above trick to edit the UA string is still good because it gives you the real version of websites in general.
Try PlayOn. They now have a mobile setup and an Android App. I use it on my nook running Nookie FroYo.
Basically you install PlayOn on a PC in your house. Then you install the PlayOn app on the nook. You have to connect the PlayOn app to the PlayOn server via the same WiFi the first time, but after that you can watch Hulu, Netflix, Amazon VOD, and many others on your nook anywhere you have an internet connection!
No need for about:debug on Stock. Just go to settings and UA Changer is at the Top. Only Desktop and Mobile modes though.

Hi,
I have a completely stock Atrix on GB (no root, no unlock).
When I use the Webtop to play videos, it automatically opens in mobile mode where it used to default to opening in the Entertainment Center under Froyo.
If I open the Entertainment Center manually, I can use it to play videos, but I can't launch videos from the File Manager into the Entertainment Center.
Is this how everyone else's acts, or is there something wrong with mine? I have done a factory reset on it, but it still does this.
Sounds about right. I don't watch too many videos on my webtop, but that's how mine worked. I think if you right click on the file you can pick which program to play it in.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
If I right click, I get the option to "Open with Mobile View" or "open with other program".
Entertainment Center doesn't appear in the "other programs" list. I'm pretty sure I used to be able to pick it.
Can anyone verify if their Gingerbread phone still has the option? If I don't hear back, on Wednesday, I'll go check this at an AT&T store.
It's annoying because I used to be able to watch movies with the Entertainment center on flights with the Lapdock. Now I have to go full-screen with mobile view, and it doesn't look as good.
Maybe someone knows how to fix it?
Thanks

I just checked mine and its the same as you described. I could have sworn it use to have hd entertainment center in that list. Maybe it got changed in the update to GB. You may have to take it to the Moto forums to get an answer on this one.

Not sure what you really want
You asked for an app that will allow the use of the Nexus 7 as a webcam on the Internet. If you are not streaming video, how are you going to use it?
With the app mentioned, it makes the output of the front facing camera available for access on your LAN or via the Internet assuming you setup your router properly. And webcam reading software works fine with it.
The camera is poor for that type of use for two reasons. 1) it is facing forward not out the back, and 2) it is not a very high resolution camera. Unless you were placing this somewhere in a fixed position, it is very hard to control as it ends up with an upside down image and is hard to point.
You can see it using webcam capture programs like tinyCam monitor from another device. It doesn't provide audio output.
If that is not what you are asking for, you need to provide a better description.

You need a chat app on your device then... not a webcam app.
I don't use MSN anything so I am not familiar with it or what that service provides, but something like
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=miyowa.android.microsoft.wlm
might be a start.

I've visited a website that uses HTML5 instead Flash or Silverlight for their video on my GNote, and it worked with the built-in cameras. I don't recall the name of the website, but it was a chatroulette-like tech demo for HTML5. Once people start switching away from Flash we'll start seeing this more. It's pretty rare at the moment.

So, no luck for chatroullet users on nexus 7 ? That's a downer ...
If anyone come up with a solution for the chatroullet fans, I would apreciate the reply.
Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Theres another app called droidcam wireless webcam. You download a desktop program to go along with the app. It works through wifi or usb, I used it through usb about a year and a half ago. From there, i ran it through manycam, which is a virtual webcam program, by selecting it as the video feed. At that point, it should work with any program and internet website...such as chatroullet . You should just select manycam as your default camera and it should work. I used it with skype though, so i cant verify if it works or not..but in theory it should.
Again, i keep saying should, because it might not work right away. It definitely took a bit of play with the settings (and lots of unplugging and replugging) before i got it to be functional. I'll be able to test it tomorrow night if you didnt get it up and runing, as i am currently on vacation.
cheers

EDIT: sorry, i misread this post. I cant help you with that one, but if you wanted to use it as an external computer webcam...see above .
Using IP Webcam, this is easy to do...
Download the latest Manycam program. In sources, select your ip webcam,( http://192.168.1.129:8080/videofeed )(example)
In your chat program select Manycam as the source.
That's going through windows, as far as using the nexus 7 by
Itself, its not possible.
