Question about Youtube "Account" not on HD2 and Facebook apps?

Hey all, had a couple questions. Youtube has been bothering me.. here you are allowed to login with the HD2 but the built in Youtube app doesnt even let you view your accounts "Favorites"? Anyone know something better that you can save and access your favs? Seems lame they didnt do that with the built in app.
Next I was wondering, is the HD2 able to play Facebook apps? I would think the HD2 has flash support somehow? Was gonna see if farmville worked on it. =)

I don't understand also this YouTube app... I always want to see the videos updates of the channels I follow but never could do it.
I think this login only serves for you to upload videos directly...

I am too a sad Farmville addict.
I use Skyfire, seems to work fine, but you'll need to zoom out on the farm (inside the app itself, by the full screen button) to view it all.

Actually I havent played farmville yet.. everyone is trying to convert me.. Ive been avoiding it by playing Sim Tower, SSIs version of Stronghold to name a few oldies. =p
But if I had it on my HD2.. I might play it.. maybe.. So whats Skyfire?
Also waiting on a good dosbox for Leo =p
Anything Scummvm yet?
But yea, anyone have a better youtube app for the leo yet?

Skyfire is a mobile browser, www.skyfire.com
I used ScummVM on my X1, and went through to complete Monkey Island. Not sure i'd be able to do it without a stylus though!

No one seen anything about facebook with real account support yet? Having my favorites would be nice. =)

htc G2 has tv out

2Where can I buy the tv out cable for G2? I saw the htc commercial where it shows the phone plug to an hd tv with an hdmi cable for the phone now I would like to know where to buy this, anyone know please let me know I would love to hook it up to my tv to watch movies on my tv

nope we don't have tv out. you could load it up as a usb storage then use it and we might be able to dlna not too sure

Yeah I'm pretty sure it does not have TV out... Unless its hidden deep in the hardware somewhere, like the Nexus One had the FM tuner that modders were eventually able to find, access, and use.

Well I saw the commercial and the phone had tv out there we just need the htc media link and I would like to know where to get it
Here is the commercial
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUeW6-HTtSU&feature=related
See we do have tv out

That video is pretty clear it's the Desire Z... not the "Tmobile G2"
But that's DNLA, not a cable too
How can we get "Locations"?

its the same phone. and the commercial does clearly state that if you tv isnt dnla compatable, its ok cuz you can use htc media link. it shows the phone with a wire plugged in.
i'm going to keep my eye on this. maybe its a sense thing?

Probably. The screen it shows where they select HDTV has got to be something on the ROM if they're advertising it out of the box. Hopefully in Cyanogen

coming soon

I'd say this should work just fine

Can someone tell me the diff between dlna and tv out? sorry I'm a noob lol

I was going to post about this as well... my brotehr told me about an app called Boxxe last night and I do not ahve an HDMI out on my laptop as well... So this was really bothering me that nither my phone or laptop had one. Please keep this tread going... Also in that video there a quite a few features that i don't see with my g2... like taging people on FB? anyone else notice this?

The phone can tag people on facebook tho. Go to the desktop facebook and just like in a real browser click tag and tap where you want to tag people those are the wonders of flash on a mobile. What good is the web without flash lmao that was for apple right there. After I got use to flash on a phone... man I can't use nothing else, I had my friends iphone 4 and I notice how crappy are webpages without flash! Thank you android you are the BEST!

Am I a tard i still can't find how to tag... It only says upload to FB and other sites when i click share... Do I need to have signed up with HTCsense or something?

No ypu don't need sense all you need is to go to the website on desktop mode and find the tagging link than just tap the on the pic to tag is that simple. If the browser sends you to mobile version just download dolphin browser hd and go to settings scroll down till you find user agent and choose desktop

When I try and sign up for HTC Sense it says to go to the Setup app but i don't see anything about HTC Sense on there... geez I guess I am a tard.

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?

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

[Solved] Youtube server error - fix?

Hey everyone! I've just had my N7 for two days now and am diggin everything about it. It's running 4.2.1, rooted, stock, with Franco's latest nightly kernel, and the nexus louder audio mod by Misledz, just to give a background. I'm having a tiny issue though with Youtube, where it doesn't play any videos, and it says that "there was a problem playing the video, due to a network error. Tap to retry". I've gone ahead and cleared both the cache and data, and the issue is still persistent. I also uninstalled the app, and did a fresh install, but no bueno. Does anyone know what the issue could be, and could you please point me in the direction as to how I can fix it? Thanks in advance for the help!

There is probably no need for yet another thread on this; you should use the forum search capability.
For instance, try searching for "Youtube" in just the titles of posts, and display the results as Topics (rather than posts). If you did that you would have found all of these threads, and you would have been on-topic to just read and then contribute to those discussions.

OK, you get the idea. As you were.
You may want to try running the same Youtube .apk on the stock ROM. That will immediately tell you whether it is the app, your hardware, or your WiFi network which is the source of the trouble - or perhaps the kernel or ROM you are using.

Noted. Thx!
Edit: after scanning through the links above, the most common thing that kept coming up was the HD playback. So after I toggled the HD off, Youtube starts to play the content in SD. So I wonder what the issue is with the HD setting/streaming on the N7? Thx for pointing me in the right direction though.

MK808b / Netflix / corrupt video

Any idea if there is anything I can do about this?
I could describe the problem, but the pictures attached do a better job!!
NB: The Last picture shows the on-screen controls are not corrupted, just the video.
BTW... Netflix support were hopeless..

I had the exact same issue and with trying multiple ROMS, the only one that worked was an old one. It is software-build related.
The build that worked for me was "update_mk808b_400j1401" I found via one of these links that the eBay seller sent me:
1) http://www.mk808.com/MK808/en/Download.html
2) http://blog.geekbuying.com/index.php/firmware-download/
I used flashing software found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2070390
It works great, but not their latest Android Build...
I did have issues trying to find Android Phone software working with this device build, but LANmote is a pretty good solution, and the only one I could get to work. I tried like 4 paid versions of apps for this stick, and this is the only one I got to work... Most services(/servers on the machine?) didn't want to start and/or function with this build.
I was thinking about buying another ROKU, but for 1/2 the price and a full-featured Android PC for half the price of a ROKU, I knew what the better choice was!
("Android phone" remote control "android touchpad" tablet control "use android phone for HTPC stick control" MK808B)

Is this build I referenced working for you?
I got sick of the antiquated interface, and tried a build for 1080p...
Works GREAT, until I was streaming Netflix for a while and the screen just went black.
Maybe I will try a finless ROM.

Hi,
I tried finless 1.7, and it works great! An older version of JB, but that's fine, I can live with that!
Thanks for the help.

Does the build it have a Reboot option? Screen off function (suspend/sleep)?
Do USB to wired Ethernet dongles function due to the kernel change, that worked with stock?

I have 2 on the way, should arrive by May 2, and I will let you know how those $4.99 10/100 dongles work...
Some guy in the UK bought them for his, and this looks like the same ones, but I will verify before dropping a link to the adapter, as this is public.

I got the 10/100 dongle and it worked OOTB, after enabling in settings, no config, just plugged it in enabled Ethernet, and it pulled HDCP from Cat5.
Here is a link if anyone wants a wired connection: http://www.ebay.com/itm/350766060467
$4.99
I did have some lag in streaming, but this even happens on Netflix via my Roku sometimes, even with my 50Mbps/25Mbps pipe.
BTW I have been running "Stock plus goodies" from here on XDA, and it has been pretty stable...

a solution

Hi,
I have same problem with netflix. I bought this device only for netflix and youtube (because Samsung Smart TV is a sucks). My device is a android 4.2. I did read here and on others sites about this problema and the solution is install android 4.1. With your links a found this instructions on this link:
http://blog.geekbuying.com/index.ph...pc-new-factory-firmware-release/#.Ua4K5EBwrqU
I downloaded the files "update_mk808b_400j1401", drivers and flashing software.
I can't perform these instructions because my PC doesn't recognize the device. I have a Windows 7 x64. I plug my device into my PC and nothing happens. On some posts I did read that is necessary to use Windows XP. Oh god, I don't believe this!
I need a help to solve this problem. Can you post to me a way to install this 4.1 rom on my device, step by step, the way you solved on your device?
I tryed to install a oldest versions of netflix, but the problem did not solved. I like very much that device with a 4.2, I would like to keep this version. Is there a fix of Android 4.2 of MK808B to solve this problem? Do you know?
Thanks!

Hi nonpaq!!! Thank you very much!!! Your apk solved my problem and I didn't need to change the Android :good:. I will use a lot to say if this apk is stable, I will post here if it is ok. This netflix apk version is the prove that the problem is on the netflix app and not the Android. I will send an email to Netflix about this problem, let me see what they will answer...
Thanks everybody!

It's a somewhat complex process, but there are step by step instructions in the readme file included with the finless ROMs. I found that getting the drivers installed was the hardest part. I also found that using the reset switch was easier if I opened the case.
