so i just got my invite to the beta. has anyone else got one yet? the only android i got is the epic. i heard that only zoom owners were getting it. now it looks like they are letting others use the service.
I signed up but haven't heard anything, if they are inviting other epic users hopefully I will get one soon!

I also got my invite today. Ran through the "get started" on my computer but haven't messed with it on my epic yet.
Argh, waiting very anxiously for an invite! I need a way to stream my music library, but I don't really like how you have to upload every new song manually for Amazon MP3 Cloud Service.. Plus I've been having issues where Amazon uploads the same song multiple times for some reason. Hopefully Google will ease my pains! lol

You can use audiogalaxy to stream your music library. You do not need to upload anything. You install a audiogalaxy program on your PC, point the program to your music library, open up the audiogalaxy app on your Epic 4g and you can stream immediately over 3G, 4G, Wifi, or your desktop. Plus it scrobbles to Last FM. No uploading at all. The app is 100% free. I use it all the time.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.audiogalaxy&feature=search_result
Also there is no limit on how much you can stream. you have 40,000 songs, you can stream all 40,000
The only downside to this is that in order to stream, you must leave your computer with audiogalaxy background app on. Your computer is the cloud essentially. unlike Amazon and google's services where you are uploading it to their cloud locker.
To bad the Music streaming doesn't work on the Epic
At least not on EE03
Google Music app just got an update to 3.0.1.
get it on the Market.

I got invites on my 2 accounts today
tried using it... stopped getting sound on the first play and it gives me a google maps FC error. very beta
I personally use Amazon Cloud Player. It's been working well for me.
Looks like it's working on the stock epic.
I have all music that was on my home laptop listed and playing on my phone.
I haven't used all features yet but basic ones are OK.

Has anyone heard anything about google revamping the market? We should be able to download full movies and mp3's legally the same way itunes does. That is really the only thing apple can hold over our heads right now.

it was announced as officially going to be released to a few devices at some point. there wasn't anything stated as to when it would be released.
aww.. well is there any kind of work-around?
The hell does anyone want netflix on their phone anyway. That's what my xbox is for...you know, the internet connected device that DOESNT have a 5gb data cap?

are you just wanting to pick a fight or something?
There's no HULU app... yet theres a work-around that lets you watch hulu.
It's a question, not a demand asking someone to make a work-around, and also there was a beta going around a few months ago, but a VERY buggy beta. I'm unable to find it.
Nevermind, imageshack sucks.
i tried the ustream work around but the ustream app is ****. now i just use my ipod touch and hotspot my vibrant to it. works great. now what i'm looking for is a throttle fix.
There is no workaround for Netflix on Android. Hulu was relatively easy since 2.2 & higher have adobe flash built-in and Hulu (like the majority of video streaming sites) is flash based. The Android flash player was basically hex edited to fool Hulu into thinking it was a PC and not Android by modifying a text string.

Netflix on the other hand uses Silverlight platform (Microsoft's answer to Adobe Flash) which doesn't currently exist for Android. Until Netflix finally releases an app or we get Silverlight on Android there is no way to watch Netflix.
Yeah there is a workaround. Download PlayOn from the Market.

That IS bull.
I was watching Star Trek from Netflix on my Vibrant tonight using playon, without a hitch.
Give me a link, and I'll tell them what's up.
I wasn't watching trek but I was using netflix through play on. Only problem is you need to be connected to the play on server on computer....still limited though. Netflix isn't on any android devices...not until they figure a proper drm format..no DRM is the only reason it wasn't released when iphone got it.

Once you do the initial WIFI pairing it will continue to work on 3G and other places VIA WIFI. The app syncs to the playon server to get your IP address, if your IP address changes(the one given to you by you ISP) you'll need to re-sync. but I use it out and about all the time on 3G and other peoples WIFI without a problem, just a little slow on the initial startup, but hey it is a beta app.

So I have to stream content from my PC...
WTF is the point?
I'll just watch it on my PC's big screen instead...this really is stupid..If I'm at home why would I watch ANYTHING on my phone's little screen when I can just watch it on my PC or laptop?
I watch sports highlights, Family Guy (Fox.com) etc. on my phone when I'm on the road on 3G..but if I'm home I'm not gonna use my phone when my PC offers a wayyyy better viewing experience.
Playon is a waste of time and money. It would be excellent if it offered Hulu/Netflix WITHOUT having to stream from a PC.
Hey guys,
I was wondering if any of you use the app Audiogalaxy. It's a wonderful app for streaming your whole music collection from your computer to your phone. It works phenomenally (for the most part) and you are able to access as much of your music as you want without clogging up your sd card.
However, it appears that Audiogalaxy's server is down at this time. If anybody else out there uses this app, are you having issues too?
Also, they recently updated the app and I don't like the interface quite as much. They added some social networking features that are cool for some, but not my cup of tea. I was wondering if somebody still has the older (about 2 months ago) apk before the update.
EDIT: their servers are back online and all is good again. If you haven't given this app a try, it is well worth it. All 140 gigs of my music is now streamable from wherever I have a data connection. It does great on 3g.
Thanks all!
Cool bro ill check it out

I was scared when all of the sudden audiogalaxy quit working on me. I got into work this morning wanting to play some music and I was left very disappointed. All is well again after lunch though

I bought 100GB from Amazon and filled it with music (before the Gmusic beta) I use it all the time. In a year when thats up I may use Google instead. My biggest complaint with ACD is the lack of an iOS app, second is when i create a playlist in Android it doesnt carry over to the cloud.
I mean solely for Android 2.2+. I've already gotten Netflix, Crackle (sadly, doesn't work, the sound goes really, really slow) and a few games I got off of Amazon's deal of the day that were 2.2+ only. There's obviously Flash 10.3, too. The other one I got (which I've been trying to get ahold of since I got my phone) is Kongregate Arcade.
Anything you guys know of that's a really good Android 2.2+ app that I'm missing?
If you put up the money get voodoo control plus and get voodoo sound v10... it makes this phone sound awesome via headphones xP

I'm actually working on trying to get the i9000 front facing camera mod to work on our Continuum. I need an i400 I can tear apart and do some fitment testing. I've seen some photos of the i9000 camera and the i500 (Fascinate) camera which I think is the same as the Continuum camera. It might work with a little trimming here and there. Ill post back once I have some results.
This is gonna sound pretty silly but the new Captain America game requires 2.2. I'm not much of a gamer but I actually bought it for $1 in the market and it installed then after the ~150mb download it gave me the error message on my stock Continuum. Took my son to the movie and we loved it, was looking forward to letting him play the game(which was well reviewed). Bah.
So happy to see this 2.2 update stuff. I'm going to have to do my homework now and make a visit to the darkside. I love this phone, will be more than happy to de-bing and de-bloat it!
Speaking of games: Plants vs Zombies and Peggle on the Amazon App store.
Was lucky enough to catch them free, but could not get them to run on Eclair.
+1 for netflix and google-music.
Being able install google search has been very nice as well.
So the Flash works well with this release?
Yes. I just spent the weekend streaming a UFC event on it :3
