Issues installing Epocrates

I'm on CM5.0.3 but is anyone having trouble running Epocrates?
I install it, I open, and it says "Loading..." with that circle thing FOREVER.

works fine for me. try getting it started on a good wireless signal, not OTA

Hey guys does epocrates on android require you to have some sort of data connection? or can I use it "offline" like the good old days with windows mobile? I want to be able to search drug, interaction.... without any sort of data connection is that possible? I mean like Pill ID probably will need it but what about other things.

I am having the same issue. It just sits on Loading...
The phone is connected to wifi but just won't load.

uninstall, reinstall. i just put it on today, and had no problems. using 3g now, and it loads right up.

Same Issue
I have the same issue as previously stated.
Epocrates simply will not load. I am using Cyanogen 5.0.3 and wonder if it could possibly be a factor?
I tried Epocrates through 3G, through Wifi to no avail, uninstalling and installing again.

Installs fine on my stock N1. Works over wifi but never tried it on 3g.

I got the same problem so I uninstall it.

Hmm.. Installed epocrates yesterday when my nexus was stock and it worked fine. Unlocked/rooted today, running CM 5.03, have the loading problem.

Does anybody have it running w/ the CM 5.0.3 also in place? Bummer that we traded the rooting for the functionality of Epocrates. Maybe there is a workaround? Or a new version or update will be compatible?

First time you use it you need a connection to sign into or set up an account but it works fine in airplane mode after that.

I just tried on 5.0.3.1 using the .32 kernal, didn't work for me, loading... loading... loading...

Works fine on a stock N1. Anyone know when paid versions of epocrates (Epocrates Essentials) will be released?

Looks like this is a common problem with CM5.0.3.1, as i have this issue as well....

There's got to be a way around it, I gotsta get me some epocrates!!!

if you're a pharmacist I wouldn't pay for this. Epocrates doesn't warranty their info (according to the free iPhone version's disclaimer) I'd much prefer paying for Lexi-comp or clinical pharmacology or uptodate. That way if you get sued, those are actual trusted sources. Epocrates isn't and should only be used as quick reference or knowledgjust my .02
but I would luuuve to get it working on 5.0.3 since all I have now is skyscape and epocrates info is a bit more complete than that.

if u are relying on your phone to be a physician, i feel sorry for you and your patients. epocrates is a guide, not a rule.
medicine requires more than opening an app on your phone. people are not something to be plugged in

who said anything about relying on my phone? believe it our not, health care professionals don't memorize everything and doses and interactions will need to be looked up. having this on your phone is a huge plus. just letting people know not to fully trust epocrates for that and I suggested some alternatives since people were expressing interest in purchasing the fuller version.

Maybe we will be able to run the alpha version when it's released.

Why don't you use Merck Medicus. It'S free, you have also a drug db, but also an Harrison Practise, Merck Manual, a guide to diagnostic tests, and Reuters Medical News. This app is great!!!

Logmein

Logmein Beta available for a limited time on the market. Grab it while ya can.
FYI!

I was just about to post the same information.
The app works great. I played around with it for a few minutes. I had no issues controlling and navigating my work PC. My monitor at work is 23'' everything shows up just fine on my N1 screen.

Help
Can anyone send me the apk or point me somewhere to download it. I cannot see this app on the market.
Thanks

yeah, could somebody put this up?
Not visible in the market for me.

that rocks. thanks! i'd put up the apk, but i don't know where to find it, as i installed from market.

I'm not sure if this will work but here's the one from my Titanium Backup.

Yeah, works perfectly, thanks man.
First impression is that it's quite a bit slower than phonemypc, but we'll see where it goes from here.

Thanks alot.

Thanks you a lot

very nice indeed. I love logmein!

Note though, this app expires on 05/31/2010.
Most likely, if they follow the ways of their other mobile platforms, this will be a Pay app on the market with a price in the range of $24.99 or more.
We'll have to see. As much as I love their service (and use it regularly on my PC's), I won't use this app on my phone enough to justify paying for this.

Personally, I'm waiting for TeamViewer app, having nothing but high praise for their application (which I believe to be the best out there - yet to encounter a firewall that would not allow me to connect through it seamlessly - AND free). It's already announced in works for a couple of months.

This works pretty dang good.

So does this mean we should not use the program until further notice?

Did you guys use anything special to install this ZIP? I've tried Astro and AndroZIP and none worked. Sorry for a potentially dumb question.

Good thing I have not used it yet... [Uninstalled]

I've been using the Remote Desktop app for a while now and it works fantastic, and it doesn't have any silly security holes like the lame logmein app.

Anyone have some ideas on a new way to enable it?

Unless you can add a JS script string to do it, it doesn't look like it without a hack of some sort.

Really don't what is the big deal with them blocking it. I mean I know that they don't have "mobile licensing" or whatever but it's not like there are millions of Nexus One owners out there...

I'm pretty sure they realized what we were doing and did the smart thing. All they have to do is check your flash version and if you're on a 10.1 then they can block it. Nothing you can do to change that, that I know of.

its all the news websites fault..sometimes they should just keep things on the down low

Man this is sad news

To be honest, I am shocked that hulu didn't have adobe flag the android flash player with a unique id to fully prevent users from sidestepping with something as simple as user agent modification.
compile flash with client=android101 and have hulu check against client strings. Done and done.

*facepalm*

i did the about:debug thingy and it worked. Closed browser went back and it didnt work. I then re did the about:debug thing and it worked again. It seems for me everytime i close browser i have to redo the UA strings. Even when I go in, it is already clicked on desktop mode i still click it and again and it works

There gotta be a way around this. Any identifying string can be changed. Unless they are blocking by Sprint's mobile IP range. Did anyone get to work over wifi?

does not work over wifi

Is there Fiddler equivalent for android
There gotta be a way around it
The prob w/ Skyfire is that all data comes from one or a couple of IPs and PS3 isnt open.

My best guess is that after the official flash release (sometime in june i believe) you will see some sorta partnership between hulu and google.

Not if the real story is about Hulu's rights to distribute. They might not actually be bastids.

Spoof the Flash
You need to spoof the Flash player version.
Test it here http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
The nexus one
Flash player version is "AND 10,1,61,68"
Operating system is "Linux 26.32.9-27220-"
Work laptop
Flash player version is "WIN 10,0,32,18"
Operating system is "Windows XP"
If you can figure out how to spoof these setting, more than likely you will not have any issues reaching Hulu.
I for one, do not know how to do it. But this is a good start

That's probably coming from the flash player itself, which is not open source.

Hulu?!

Ok, I know that Hulu blocked mobile browsers from viewing its videos, but that 2.2 users can get around this with "about:debug" in their browser window. The command, however, doesn't seem to be working on my Evo.
I tried disabling Sense, which was easy, but no luck on getting around the Hulu block...
Anyone have any suggestions or tricks they've gotten to work?

I think your best bet is to wait for Froyo on this device.

My soul cried.
Yet my determination remains!

Tried to change the user agent in dolphin browser hd to desktop, but still wont work

I thought that the reason users on froyo could get it working was because froyo supports flash 10.1 or whatever, not because they changed the browser settings.

The Evo also supports Flash!
The issue is Hulu blocked all mobile devices from accessing their vids. The player will load, but it won't actually put the video up for watching...
Froyo users where (I've been told they can't now and a new work around is needed?) able to trick their browser into thinking they where on a desktop and then watch Hulu as per normal. The menu settings for this, however, is not on the Evo

just an idea i have noticed. hulu does NOT block mobile devices. i know they say they do and all but its weird. using my devices ip from sprint and all the device info i can stream hulu on my laptop threw my phone. sooo if they block mobile devices they would be blocking the browser config (i.e.-opera mini, android.)
now with all that said, another reason i dont believe it is because i did get hulu to stream way back when the eris 2.1 leak with flash came out. i watched family guy on my phone threw hulu. it was slow and horribly nasty looking and small. but it worked.
so theres some thoughts on hulu.

i hope you all can get this working..
it would be great!

They are just checking the string agent of your browser dude.

I think it has to be deeper than the string. From what I understand, when the Incredible came out, people were able to get Hulu to work with a little finesse and user-agent strings. However no amount of finagling has gotten Hulu to work on my EVO.

i tried it with my pro2 on skyfire browser. the hulu site stated that the browser was using a proxy server and assumed i may have been from outside the US trying to stream... i got reallllllll close though.. i saw the slide animations on the home page...

you'll need froyo, and the workaround flash in the nexus forums, as well as changing user agest to desktop using about:debug
it should work then. does on my nexus

What do you mean by "the workaround flash in the nexus forums"?

search. there is a modified flash apk that will allow use of hulu. you still have to do the ua string change, but otherwise it works.
and keep it on the down low, just here at xda please. last time it flew out to engadget that there was a workaround, hulu shut it down.

On my Nexus One hulu loads, runs videos for about 15 minutes (ok video quality, poor sound quality(skipping)) and then stops. Navigating their flash based controls is very difficult. So you won't be missing much with EVO .

any solution to enable Hulu on the Iconia Tab A500?

Hi;
wondering if anyone was able to have Hulu work on A500?
I tried the post in XZoom section and it didnt work... although my A500 is rooted.
here is the OP for Xzoom (also it has many issues even on the Xzoom):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060374
Then I installed the original flash and pushed the modified .so file into data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib and it didn't work... the browsers do not even detect the flash player at all.
any help will be highly appreciated.
thanks

For now, Playon app installed on both PC and Tablet. It has a fee per month. Playon will take you to a hulu backboor to watch hulu shows
2nd option is TV Show Streams, free it is not Hulu but it has A LOT of TV shows many of which is on Hulu and many which are not.

Gents,
There is a "Hulu Patch" for the G-Tablet in their forum.

ajarmeh104,
When I told you the above, I told you

Obviously it is for the G-Tab, but I don't
know if the changes needed for Hulu are
the same for both Android tablets or
whether they are brand specific.
I just thought someone who knows what
they are doing might want to check it out.

You can also buy a lifetime subscription. It's now $79.99, but as an early supporter, I got it for $39.99 ! I use it to stream to my PS3 as well, so it's been worth it.

I have had no luck with the Xoom fix. It looks like they are needing to load a custom kernal to get their Hulu fix to work and I 'm not sure I want to try loading that on the A500. If the Xoom guys can figure out why they need that custom kernal then perhaps we'll get a better fix for Hulu.
I also have a g tablet and tried the Hulu fixed flash I use successfully on that tab on the A500 but not luck.

thank you

i will look at the above posts and compare it to what was similarly done on the evo and see what I can come up with. O, the evo it only appeared to work on 10.1
If I get a day off this week I will see what I can do

honestly it's really easy. I don't know why people seem to go through all the trouble of custom kernels and such. Is it a secret? are we trying to hide that we can access hulu so that they won't wise up? It's literally as easy as replacing one file using root explorer and changing the permissions to rxwr--xr--xr. I've used it on my captivate with froyo, then the captivate with gingerbread and now the acer iconia with honeycomb. If you search the forums you should find the file.

i am not sure why a custom kernal would be required other than hardware exceleration which the a500 would not need. It should just take the so file that has been modified to fool hulu into thinking you are on a windows desktop and all should work fine
I also have a modified hulu apk I use. If I have time tomorrow I will check it out

just replace libflashplayer.so!!
I replaced the libflashplayer.so with the one modified for hulu on the Thunderbird and it works just fine. Just do a search in the Forum you'll find it with instructions.

also aside from playon, splashtop is a cheap way to remote into a computer and be able to watch hulu, either way you will have to leave a computer on at home. But splashtop is one time charge of five dollars.
I love it will my htpc and be able to remote and update libraries or predownload a movie

Alternate option for streaming Hulu on Iconia a500
This is only a suggestion… no disrespect intended to those who are working on helping us find solutions to the Acer Iconia a500.
I am a noob, who was frustrated to learn that Google is blacklisting users who have rooted devices, and I just wanted to have Hulu on my tablet, like I have on my phone. I have found that Splashtop remote from the market will successfully stream Hulu and Netflix for those who are interested.
It is a paid app, but for someone not wanting to root right now, it seems like a good option- so I thought I would put this out there in case anyone else is frustrated with their choices.
Again, No disrespect intended, I just wanted to offer this since the other option I read about on here “PlayOn” does not seem to work, and it is $79.99 verses $9.99.

I made the leap to try Splashtop. I dont mind rooting my machine but it a pain over time and generally just irritation follows. My purpose in thus post is to point out that unless I ended up with. a slow or broken machinr splashtop is far from an exceptable answer. Its slow and super choppy when streaming video, correct me if im wrong and youve seen acceptable connections but id like to save you the $10, the app is cool but not a good solution for this discussion. Additionally to note is its a comole take over of the remote machine, you can't use your tablet while someone else uses teh computer you are remoting to
