stream movies

I may be posting in the wrong location and if i am my apologies but:
Just a question does anyone know of a site like iphonemoviez.net that will allow you to stream movies from an android device namely the DX????

Well there is that blockbuster app. I've seen a few other services but ether their servers get pulled or the software has become broken and buggy with the new android versions.
What i do though is use transdroid to search and remotely add torrents to my utorrent at home then using orb live (or the mobile site) and stream it once its done downloading. May not be as click and watch as i would like but it gets me by.
Keep in mind i only watch creative commans documentaries. Copyrighted movies are illlegal to view without buying the rights. So if ur intrested in that the blockbuster app is the only one i know that acutally works today.
Hope this helps

thanx for the prompt response
i was actually able to figure this one out in the browser there are hidden "advanced setting" which allow you to render a webpage like an iphone after changing this i was able to stream movies right off the iphonemoviez.net site
How to:
in the browser address bar type about:debug
then go to settings scroll all the way to the bottom you should see some new settings there
select uastring and then iphone
if someone else posted this before props and apologies to them

Same with me. I tested it and I got "not able to stream movies to this type of device"

anyone get iphonemoviez to work on the droid x? on 2.2 and flash installed.....

Anyway to get msl without talking to sprint?

I tried 3 times today with different people and no dice

Call them and act like there's a problem with your voicemail or tell them your not receiving your text messages. They're more then likely give you the MSL code to check and see if everything is in order. Or tell them your msid number is wrong or blank. They will have to give you your MSL to reprogram your phone.

What do you need the MSL for? I'm not 100% sure what it is used for.
I spoke to a sprint tech and he gave me ##786# and then reset and gave me a 6 digit number. Is that my MSL? The reason I called to speak to sprint was that my phone would say "unknown" when I turned on 4G and would never turn itself on. You can use this excuse if you call them. (The fix to this problem was replacing the phone. Factory reset and re-flashing didn't fix it.)

that worked got my msl thanks!!!
the reason is i am looking to change my slot index but now i cant find where it is

Nevermind someone beat me to it.

An easier way to get it is the "getprop" command in ADB or the ConnectBot App connecting locally. It clearly shows those 6 magic numbers and tells you that its your msl several lines down.

Easiest way - get the free MSL reader app from the market!
Though I think it requires root.

Slot index is controlled at the tower. No matter what you switch your phone to, the network will override it.

dang it well maybe i dont remember the name correctly
but its the number that controls how often the phone checks in for calls
i remember the hero had it and the pixi

This is the easiest.

the getprop command in ConnectBot works even without root Pretty easy to identify the msl as the property is called [ril.MSL].

Confirm ConnectBot worked on an unrooted Epic
1. Run ConnectBot
2. From the dropdown on bottom left corner select local if not already selected
3. Use any name
4. Type getprop press Enter
and scroll up a little and there it is, thank you pgk23 and drkgouki

Thanks this was easy.

Another easy way is this. You will need another working sprint phone. Yes its kinda long and convoluted but it works. Log into your sprint account online. Find the thing that says I want to...Activate new phone. Turn off both phones. Activate the second phone on the account and let it turn off the first one. I forget what screen it is but after the screen that you have to wait while it's activated, there's going to be programming numbers in there. I think the first field is secondary blah blah. Then under that is one time blah blah. The secondary is your msl. You don't need to program the phone like it says on that screen if the phone is used. If it's brand spankin new, then yes you do. Anyways, the screen after that one is the last screen. Turn on the second phone and let it stay on for a few minutes. Make sure you can make calls and use data. To be on the safe side and not confuse the network because you switch phones like every five minutes, wait like thirty minutes to an hour then turn off the second phone. Now go back and do the same routine with the phone you originally wanted the msl. Don't rush it or you might have to call customer care for real to have them fix your mistakes. There was occasions that the data didn't want to come back on so I had to call them from another phone, but that doesn't happen very often. Just give the network some time to change over to the other phone before you start changing things again.
Getprop didn't work on all the phones I've tried. It worked on moment but I couldn't get it to work or find the number with the evo I think.

+1 unrooted Epic

easiest way..:
connectbot
getprop [ril.MSL]
that gives the msl without you having to search for it.

Thanks
Thanks for posting this and the people who supplied the answers, this site and all the people are awesome, now its time for me to switch threads and do the streaming/video fix. Thanks again!

Thanks for the info.

Sirius XM radio app not working

I'm not sure if it has anything to do with new software update to 3.70 but my Sirius app is not working. Is anyone experiencing this or know a fix?

No one with the Evo uses the Sirius app?
Sent by my trick using my evo

I tried it out before the 3.70 update and it never worked well for me even then. I think it's just a crappy app. It'd be nice if they could get it to work reliably.

Mine is working using the new MikFroyo 4.2 Rom.

In the 3.70 update, Sprint broke streaming apps. That also includes apps like Rhapsody.
Here's the fix:
1) Dial ##3282#
2) Choose Edit Mode
3) Enter MSL
4) Choose Advanced
5) Change HTTP PD Proxy Port to: 0
6) Change HTTP PD Proxy Address to: 0.0.0.0
@l8agin - It's not terrible. User experience varies I guess you could say.

I had Sirius/XM for my car and recenly upgrade service to the "anywhere" plan. I had already downloaded the player for EVO, but the support guy as Sirius told me to uninstall it, then download it again, install again and then do a reboot on the phone (battery out and back in). I did and it works fine, but does tend to hang for a few seconds occasionally. The uninstall/reinstall/reboot process may be a workaround for the HTTP process described above.
PS - I am stock, so that could also make a difference.

working now!
I tried this and it worked thanks for the info,finally have Sirius back after 3 weeks of non use from upgrade.

I've had weird experiences with the sirus xm app. If I'm listening to a music station, it seems to work fine. But if I go to a talk station, like the virus, it will go for a few minutes then either get stuck or loop back to where I first started. I only listen to a small handful of channels tho so not sure if others have issues... I don't see how the genre would affect it, but that has been my experience with the app, both before I ever rooted/custom rom and after. Would love for them to make a decent app so I can get my money's worth... or at least let the web player work...

True, my exp with it was crap, but others may have better luck. I've had their regular service since the beginning and that was great, just wish i could say the same for the mobile app. Maybe i'll give it another try using your fix.

Tried the above mentioned directions and it asked me for a password to edit the settings.
Don't know the password...

Fixed worked like a charm on my EVO. Have two EVO's....one with latest 3.7 updated; other with older version.. siriux xm app only worked on older version. Once I did sftware update - sirius xm app stopped working. Hardest part of above fix was getting MSL from sprint tech support - I was honest and persisted and they finally gave it to me. New to all this...cool. Thanks!!

the siriusxm app has been running without dropping out for me with CM7 RC0

I installed it yesterday on my CM6.1.2 EVO and in it works in general (both 3G and WiFi).
I was disappointed though about the selection of radio channels. The Talk category for example has only 7 stations. Also, the search button does not work.
Waste of money if you ask me.

Worked for me. And if you don't want to call Sprint to find out your MSL number, this forum post has an app that will find the number for you.

The MSL Reader app is perfect and super easy, only caveat is you must be rooted. Not an issue for most people here, but worth saying for future reference.

Ok two questions cause I am new to Android.
1) is the msl the password it asks for? And I guess there is a app to get that?
2) if I do a factory reset of the phone will it change these 2 setting back to factory settings?
Ok I lied a 3rd question:
3) will changing these settings make anything else not work?

Pandora Not working on Sprint Network issue

It seems like I can not stream on Pandora through my sprint network connection, even while in 4g areas. I can stream if I switch over to wifi, but not through my providers network. It only seems to happen on Pandora as I can use Tune In app with no problems. Does anyone else have these issues? It actually was working Monday and Tuesday, but It hasn't worked since......

I had to get rid of the proxy servers to get Pandora and Blacker working. I am on my phone or I would find the thread and link it but search for Sprint Pandora streaming fix and the steps are listed.

This only works on a sense rom, but download msl reader from the market and get your msl. Then in the dialer enter ##3282# and click edit mode. Enter your msl when it prompts you.
When the menu comes up, click a advanced. Scroll to the bottom and change the one that says 8085 to 0. Then change the one that says pd.vog.sprintpcs.com to 0.0.0.0

If you dont have your msl, search msl from the market there is an app to retrieve it, open the app and give it user permissions get msl code, make sure you do it to the HTTP ones not the other ones cause they look the same

UPDATE: Unlocking Wimax Settings (completed)

Gingerbread ROMs were not able to tweak the hidden wimax settings. There was an attempt but before it was complete, Google enabled it with a new app in the ICS update (WimaxHiddenMenu.apk) and source.
Update:
having built and used an ICS aosp build, these wimax settings are now available thru the *#*#data#*#* and *#*#debug#*#*
Here is a link to the one I know for sure works:

you can find your MSL which unlocks most of that menu. I use logcat live wallpaper and filter for msl result. it shows up every 5 - 10 minutes and I can use the phone while I wait. It appears taht when you access the menu it grabs that code and it ends up in the log file. A trick I picked up from working on my HTC Hero

Yes.. msl unlocks the data menu... but if u select 'view' instead of 'edit' from the hidden data menu.. you will find a new 'wimax' section. When trying to access it.. msl is required.. but even after doing so.. this does nothing.
I believe the wimax setting menus are NOT blocked.. but simply not there at all. Rather than try n lock out settings.. why not just remove the apks that do so. Seems Samsung wanted a quick n EZ fix.
If we could find out what the epics apks did exactly.. we may have a chance at porting them to nexus.
Orrr ... we find where the settings are stored in the phone and manually edit them.. via hex editing or something.

I came from an epic, Im not sure what the exact difference is. The epic has 4 apks in the /system folder regarding the Wimax:
WiMAXLineTest.apk
WiMAXWTM.apk
WiMAX_NETEST.apk
WiMAX_RC.apk
I have attached a zip with those apks.

Same thing for debug menu. Options for wimax, but doesn't open up. It's like the phone realizes this info is in the wrong spot and has radio and signal issue because of this. Might just be my phone though.

I used Super Manager to run through all the activities in the Sprint Menu, and I didn't see anything obvious (but I wasn't looking specifically for wimax at the time). You can add a shortcut that will take you right to the 4g toggle setting.

anyone have anything?

Idk but this aggrivates me, specially cause my girl just got the Droid charge with omg 30mbps compared to my .6mb 3g and my 1-5mb 4g when I find signal.
Whats weird tho is this. My brother and mom use Clear. They have the modem for direct internet and 2 usb dongles. The 4g and the 4g/3g ones.
The first day I used his Clear 4g usb I was in the middle of the house, and in the basement, it was 5-7mbps.
Then it stopped working in the house, it would only get 3g. If I sat near a window I would pick up 4g. I would have to set my laptop hooked up to a TV to stream netflix where speeds were up and down WTF OMG turtles.
Whenever I brought it to work with me, or drive laptop open to download big files. Pretty much everywhere that wasnt my house it would be 3-4 mbps. Sometimes 7mbps, one time 10.
Then 4g decided to never work at my house anymore.
PS I live near atlanta, and I am in the city.
Anyways I left ATT for sprint, and got the NS4g, it uses the same radio as Clear. 3g Spring, and 4gWimax.
day one with NS4g, i got 4g in my backyard by my back door and driveway, it was 5mbps. I remember it worked because i went outside to mass DL all my market purchases.
later that day, and to this very day, my yard, house and driveway...do not get nay 4g. Not on my deck, deeper backyard or near the Airvana. but i get4-7mb at work via tether.
Was in atlanta the other day, and it worked at 17mbps. I shat bricks and wanted to move there.
Been about 2-3 weeks. Ive had my phone replaced once. 2.3.3 3.4 and 3.5 havent made a difference.
So idk what happened, I blame clear. using my gfs to tether right now. hopefully verizon doesnt find out

any updates?
has anyone been able to dump the phones memory? when i try in cdma workshop the phone reboots. im guessing im hitting unreadable addresses. anyone know a better way to peek/poke for readable memory addresses?
