I saw in the photos of the Touch that SprintTV is part of the software...
I'm curious if that will be part of the update we've been promised (but never delivered on)...
i was told when i bought my phone (in june) that the update woul dbe in october or november, so i think its a bit early to be saying "never delivered on"
but yeah, i heard sprintTV is supposed to be part of that as well
Its out, the .cab file,is posted on the PPCgeek.com software forum.
attached. i edited the cab to allow it to be uninstalled
very cool, is there no way to uninstall the previous version?

Very nice. Even some decent free content. Between this and my Slingbox I'm never going to be bored at the airport.
Works well on my artemis, little frame drop. Thanks a lot.

I'm on o2 UK, I connected via wifi no prompts, so yes I would say it works on any network with just a data connection.
Edit: Giving me an error few hours later.

Hey guys this cab also works on non Spint networks too. I have an AT&T 8525 phone and the video on it works perfectly, the only issue I have is that the audio drops out occasionaly. Can anybody answer that one

hey, I wonder what would happen if you "subscribe" to channels if not on Sprint... how can they charge you? Will it work, or are they smart enough to disable channel purchases if you don't have a sprint phone?
On top of that, do you guys on sprint think that Sprint will charge us for this? there has been some talk that it needs some ID info from the touch in order to charge its users for subscriptions... guess I'll wait until after some folks get their next bill to see!!
I am getting confused now: do I have to pay for using the NON PREMIUM channels (the one that did NOT pop-up saying "...subscriptions for $ 7.95 /month")?
I have the Mogul with SERO plan and unlimited data. No where in my bill I see "PowerVision" or the like.
I got the SprintTV.cab file, installed it and can see the free (non-premium) channels.
Again, will I be charged for watching non-premium channels?

Most likely. At work we had the Upstage with unlimited everything and it would still ask us if we wanted to buy the premium stuff.
subscriptions
if you subscribe to channels, will you be charged this on your Sprint bill?
Hey I have a Telus P4000 with the october 21 rom from colonel and it has sprint tv on it, I clicked subscribe on the premium channels and it let me have it, will this show on my TELUS bill in Canada or am I somehow getting this for free?

I am not referring to the premimum channels, just the normal channel. Example: CNN -> when I watch this, no pop-up asking me to pay $7.95.

Obviously not. If the premium ones ask you to pay.. it's because they're premium. The non-premiums don't ask you to pay.. because they're free.
Hey everyone,
I'll be visiting the US next week and i'm considering to buy a wi-fi Xoom in the US. But i'm really doubting about it, since i'm living in Europe.
What are the differences between the US version and the European version of the Xoom. I know my warranty won't be valid in Europe, but i'm not planning to break it.
The Wifi Version shouldn't be at all different than the US one, other than maybe a different set of languages installed.
I have had a US xoom for a month now, no difference, just language as said above, there are only 3 I think. Works perfectly, and is £100 cheaper
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
I beleive the warranty is global. I bought my Xoom from US and after 5 days I lost touch control, Motorola replaced my Xoom without any problems.
I'm also in europe.
Definitely agree with Bloke, besides less language choices there are no differences. And I believe in another forum you asked whether the market would function and the answer to that is yes, no problems at all.
And as a bonus, I believe Google Books is not installed on the European version, but it is on the US model. After I rooted, titanium backup gave me the option to defrost that program, so mysteriously it now also works in Europe!
There will be one difference due to different regulatory domains the US Xoom Wifi won't have access to wireless channel 13 as far as I know that would be the only difference.

Generally its disabled at the driver level for a lot of devices. I'm not 100% sure on the Xoom but it is a possible difference.

Did exactly the same, £380 taxes paid at RadioShack. Correct about language choices, Eng, Esp & Fr. I already had a slip in plug to change the power supply adaptor to UK. Works as it should.
Same here. Us Xoom on danish ground.
Eng. System with danish keyboard.
No problems.

Bought a xoom from US, living in SWE. No problems as far a functionality. The warranty thing is a bit confusing though, I'm having a problem with my Xoom's USB and some technicians say it's under US warranty some of moto's technicians say it's fine and they will try and help me. Sooooo think about that

Can't remember tbh, it was probably from an iGo travel adaptor. It just slips over the two US pins and neatly clips into place. Just looks like an OEM charger. I Googled but could not find the part. I don't know the proper name for it. Sorry I cannot help more.
I too live in Europe. Is it sensible to buy one from Amazon and ship it to me? It wayyy to expensive here almost 1000$

Same for me... I live in Czech Republic and my Rooted Xoom (from US) works fine. You have to buy some plug adapter because Xoom doesn't support charging via USB.
Got mine from the US and it works fine, you can download Google Books from the internet and it just works.

I contacted Motorola UK, explained my situation and they offered to send me a replacement. They were slow in replying to my messages, but they resolved my problem.It took two weeks to ship the replacement from US to Estonia (EU).
About ghosting, I have seen it also on both devices, but only in the browser. Are you sure its a screen problem?
How did you get the Books app to work?
Should be no problem.i bought in us for singapore. Best advice is buy online as the sales tax isn't like VAT. There is no refund

Could you please specify how exactly you've made Google Books work in Europe? I've got Titanium Backup but don't see an option of "defrosting" apps.
I've bought the US VerizonXoom 3g+WiFi upon my visiting the US and everything works here like a charm, apart from Google Books and Google Movies. I live in Ukraine, which is only geographically in Europe, not the EU member. The guys from a Ukrainian CDMA network office even managed to connect my Verizon US Xoom to their network, even though the shop assistant in the US kept telling me that the US Xoom is for Verizon only.
I bought my Nexus 7 a month ago and successfully activated it to receive the 25$ credit.
I used 12$ out of the 25$ and then didn't purchase anything for a week or two.
Today I wanted to purchase an app with my remaining 13$ and I noticed the Google Play credit payment method is greyed out and I can't use it.
This is what it says:"This payment method cannot be used for this purchase (RBC)" .
Searched everywhere... didn't see a similar report.
Tried purchasing other apps... to check if it's something specific...
Also tried to purchase apps with my Nexus S... greyed out there as well.
Anyone has an idea why this happened or how to solve it?
As far as I know, the only restrictions are that it cannot be hardware (ie: Nexus 7, GNex, N7 case)
Same problem here...
Same here. First order went fine, but now it's greyed out. FYI, I'm using my tablet outside US, tried both local IP and US based VPN, and neither has worked.
I have the same problem. I think google made it impossible to use the money when you are not from the USA. I saw that all the guys that posted in this thread are from outside the USA.

Im outside us and i can use it just fine, only problem i had was when the app price was in a different currency it would allow me to purchase it with the credit but i could bypass it using orbot
i am outside USA but I used a VPN for the IP and market enabler for the currency and it didn't help.
I emailed Google about it... I hope they'll respond.

I am just having exactly the same issue. The worst is I dun even spent one buck yet...Tried a lot of time / method but still failed..:crying:
Yap..encounter the same problem..
It happened to me too. Didn't even get a chance to use my $25 at all
Hope there's a workaround for this..
Same issue here and I'm in Canada...
Hopefully someone will have the solution to this..
Same here. I wonder what the (RBC) error code could mean? I can still purchase apps on the device using my cc, but I've found that I also have a problem buying from the Play store on the web today. Neither my N7 store credit, nor my regular cc are working on the Play Store web site. Trying to purchase anything that way yields a Google Wallet error. Both of these payment methods show up just fine in the Google Wallet settings. Weird.
I've emailed Google about the problem and will report back if I hear anything. BTW, I'm in Australia and I bought my N7 through the Play store.
Same thing here (in the Netherlands, Nexus 7 running PA 1.99 shipped from the USA and an HTC One X running CM10). I have used the credit before to purchase an app, so it's a recent change. Uninstalling updates to Google Play and clearing data has no effect. Orbot returns an error when trying to start transparent proxying, no luck using that either.
Purchasing apps using a credit card is working just fine.
EDIT: Got Orbot to work by using the default iptables, but no luck. Play credit is still greyed out.
Hi,
I am from India, and i got the 25$ credit by entering actual CC info and some random US zipcode and phone. Now when i try to buy an app using the credit i am getting the same greyed out(RBC) error. Any solutions?

How could google take away the credit from us? It's like they gave us something and now they want it back. What about those who had already spent the $25 earlier on. It's unfair.
i'd spent £0.60 two weeks ago and mine still available. if it makes any difference bought and used in the UK.

Same problem here. I dont think it is related to location.
I was in the US last week. Bought the Nexus 7 and activated to get $25 credit. However, whatever I tried to purchase, it would not let me use the credit. I tried different apps, books, movie and music.
However, have come back to Japan now. Hope this gets resolved soon.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way, easy or hard, to get access to foreign markets' Google Play store content from a US Nexus 7? Specifically, my friend is trying to buy some music from the Japanese Google Play Music store, but the store is locked to the US market.
Is there a way to access the Japanese store from the US? If she visits Japan, will the Google Play Store switch over to the Japanese store?

Thanks for the suggestions. Re: Market Unlocker - I initially tried that, but the pre-included options only were for a few select countries, and none of the worked. I looked up some Japanese carriers' IDs and tried entering them, and that didn't work either. Not sure if there is a guide for this sort of thing, but I don't know how I could have messed up.
For the other suggestions: IMEI editing is beyond my expertise, and seems very serious in terms of hacking--does the Nexus 7 even have an IMEI as a non-cellular device?
I'm not sure how to set up a VPN on Android.
(Sorry if I sound like a beginner--in fact, I regularly root/customize my phones. But this process has all sorts of things I've never done before.)

Currently I'm using Google Play via OpenVPN option (with Japan IP), without root (on Nexus 7)
While it will unlock those region locked content for you, you are still going to encounter problem when purchasing goodies off Japan (region) only stuff, and which, is a much bigger issue IMO. I have yet to figure out how to get the Google Checkout/Wallet accepting my non-Japan credit / debit card. So basically you are going to have trouble on anything which isn't free (well sometimes even ¥0 JPY stuff, which is free IMO).
Does Visa/MC/etc. sell pre-paid gift cards in Japan and the UK? If so, could that be a work around for the foreign credit card problem?
use fakegps, enable mock location, use vpn, create japanese account,remember that its not permanent
Got a prime membership trial so decided to take up Amazon's offer for the Fire TV @ £49.00 so now just need to wait for it to arrive which is a while to go.
Has anyone else pulled the trigger and brought one of these from the UK store yet?
At £49 it was rude not to Can't wait to get it plumbed in, currently using a WDTV or PS3 for my netflixing and Amazon prime.
Hopefully it will work with usa content with unotelly and or a usa Amazon account will be a bit disappointed if it's uk content or nothing
Ordered -D,
Will try Root, and then either unotelly/VPN to usa to get us content (private owned vpn FAST )
There's some talk of a new currently unrootable firmware version 51.1.2.0
I wonder if the UK ones have this version already installed....
I will post this in here as-well
I decided to send them an email regarding the "region change" of the existing USA Fire TV's,
I asked for my message to be forwarded onto the relevant team involved with the Fire TV for a more appropriate response,
Take of this what you will but they have told me that it will be possible, First you will need to migrate your account, Any purchases made will also transfer, Then once the device has launched in your country, in this case the UK you then need to look out for a firmware update.
They say they will put it up on their help pages.
So that's good news, Sad that it will be a firmware update but not unexpected, Guess I will wait till the time comes and consider my options. At this stage I could not give up my root

So it looks like then if we have a USA or UK amazon account then it will follow that which is cool as I have 2 accounts on amazon for each country in question.
Saw spotify on the UK amazon page but not on the USA one though??

You have 2 options, you can purchase Plex with your UK Amazon account (I used the voice search to find it) or if you want the latest version of Plex you can download it and side load it onto the Fire TV. The benefit of purchasing the app through Amazon is that you can then access Plex from the top Amazon menu's - if it is side loaded you have go delving into a few sub menus to get to it.
I first side loaded the app, but have since purchased the app.

Thats a shame. Oh well.
Im definitely looking at one for me old man though, just for XBMC.
Hoping they get iPlayer integrated for it by release, and of course a rootable FW then Ill jump aboard as well. Cracking piece of kit the more I look at it.
I bought one of these to use xbmc on but now that i see spmc is on the amazon app store i will try that first.From what i've read it is an xbmc fork so addons will work and it can be updated through the amazon store.
