Hi guys,
I am new here and forgive me if I am asking something that was already discussed before.
Is there a way to install Skype on this device? I tried to go to Skype android section and download it from there but it always requesting phone number and type....
Regards
I FOUND A WAY TO FAKE OUT SKYPE!!!!
1st off let me start, i have the 1.0c mod added to my A7, and i extracted the vending .apk for 2.2.6 marketplace from the update zip found here on xda, cleared out the cache and data, and FC the marketplace, then installed the apk like a normal program, so i have an updated marketplace as well...
but like most of us at this point, when we try and logon to skype it gets caught in a loop...
im very short on time, so ill be quick... ive also got an N1 running cryo 6.1
i get to the login screen for skype for both devices, i have my GF's account entered on the A7 and my account entered on the N1, both have WiFi turned on, i press signon on both devices at the exact same time, and the A7 gets pasted the loop and logs on to skype, i have to very quickly logoff of skype on the N1, and the A7 works!
it does cause a lot of FC's but atleast its progress, and maybe a direction for the devs to look into....
ill give much more detailed walkthru when i get back tonight, or maybe tomorrow...
Whats wrong with skype? I logged into skype and made a phone call to my house with no trouble except when i tried to end the call, it locked up.
My Skype sits at logging in forever. What version of Skype are you running fisher?
Where did you find Skype android version to download? ...and I believe that it is in Skype interest to fix the bugs and make it work on Elocity or any other android device using WiFi or 3G...
Regards
Help - Skype
Same issue - trying to use Skype downloaded from Marketplace (A7 using Dexter version 1c) - seems to be stuck with getting logged in - got it to work once, but I am not able to repeat - please advise ...........thanks - Love the A7 just wish I could address these shortcoming
Installed Skype 1.02 for Android build 1.0.0.659...cannot make it work ...whenever I try to log in it stops working ..sometimes it shows the message "logging in" but it cannot complete the atsk...Have anybody made Skype work on Elocity?
Thanks
as stated earliler i have been able to get skype running on several occasions...
skype currently does not have a valid electronic signature for the tablet, or the tablet the build.prop was copied from...
that is why when we attempt to logon to skype, its checking for the signature, getting caught because it is getting mixed signals from our device and getting stuck in the 'loop'
but my N1 does have a valid signature... which i think is why skype is getting faked out when both devices are logging on from the same wireless network... the signature is going out from my N1, and the tablet is logging on...
Interesting...Unfortunately I do not have phone to use it to log at the same time...and I am trying to do it over WIFI
I bet you Skype will fix it eventualy
Regards
just a quick note.
it has been written in forum for a long time, that Skype somehow is protected from being used over mobile data connections.. im not sure how that affect regular users, but they have done something for US users to protect against Skype use. but this was all primarily on mobiles, im not sure how this fits into a tablet being used.
You may be right...the Android so far was always connected with the smartphones...tablets are very new thing and have been coming out only in last 6 +/- months with latest version iteration of 2.1, 2.2 ans hopefully this summer 3.0.
Regards

Thank you for contacting Skype Customer Service.
We understand your concerns regarding your eLocity A7. We are sorry to say this is not yet supported on Skype. However our development team are constantly working to meet customers needs and expectations.

skype works fine with ElocityMod v1.3 , but again in US, coming from a USA ip address you might be blocked by Skype, so a signin is not possible.
but its works and i can call using elocity here (from Denmark)

Weird. I'm in Russia
I installed Market by self (it isn't hard for me) and don't use DexterMod yet)
There are some difference, maybe some libraries absent.
Will install DM and check soon.
In Canada, Skype works fine. Now if only Skype had video calling everything would be golden.

thats explains it.. the build.prop of official rom is not approved by Skype so it fails.. you need a different rom install or "steal it from my mod", it will solve it you dont want the new version.

I forgot that one thats was actually one of the issues found, but good you found the solution..
I am in USA and Skype works fine....no video beacuse it is not supported in Android version. I have mod installed though...before it did not want to log in.
Chatting and talking works great...

Hello all, I am new here so I'm sorry if I am ignorent of anything
I have an Iconia tab, and have been patiently for the netflix app to be released. Well it finally seems like it has been done here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076150
My problem is when I download the apk and try to open it I get the error ''cannot open file''.
Any suggestions? Thanks
Download the apk with Firefox mobile or your desktop PC instead of the default browser. AFAIK, streaming still doesn't work for us, just queue management.
Its not working on the acer yet.
Edit: ninja'd
I think I read somewhere it's a Honeycomb issue, not just an Acer issue.
the device check disabled apk asks you to upgrade to the latest version on the market (which doesn't exist on our device), and the non-check disabled version will let you browse, but if you try to play a video it pops an error saying the device is not supported.
Hopefully we'll get something that works in the near future. Netflix claims to be working on other devices and it looked like tablets were on the list as well.
Thanks everyone for your answers. Any chance we can keep this thread going as an update to everyone wondering when netflix will be brought over so users do not have to scour the web in search of the answer?
Just a bit of a noob question, but what about changing your build.prop?
If I understand correctly, that requires root, and I do not want do downgrade to gingerbread.
Yup..

I have heard of doing this and am pretty sure root is required.
Such a shame Netflix has not gotten it together for us yet - this screen rocks as a movie player!

I have my acer rooted, but not well enough it seems. I still run honeycomb, and in fact still get firmware updates from acer. I rooted it so I can setup my two 1tb external hard drives to it lol. just used gingerbreak and a couple other things post root. However, i did try and edit the build.prop but wont allow me to save, just read only. I havent messed with it extensively, but seems like there should be a way.

If you use root explorer it will let you mount the file system read-write so you can edit the file.
Alright guys I am not sure if it has been tested but when I get home. I have the lib files that fixed the playback issue on sense 3.0 I will install the deactive device check version and push the lib Files It may actually work!! I just tested on another device that had playback issues worked flawlessly!! Ill let you guys know in like 2 hours or so when I get home.
Right on!
Crsdr37 - sounds promising! Let us know how it goes - since Netflix is totally dragging on getting their software working. My girlfriend's mother uses a HTC Evo 4 from Sprint - netflix support has been broken for weeks for them, and the OTA patch they tried to push out did not work. Total fustercluck

Alright guys so after dismantling netflix.apk the latest version the issue is within one of the files called nrdp.js Think of it as the gate keeper to our netflix enjoyment. It checks certain areas of the device here is the list we need to bypass to get the rsa key injected into our devices for access to the netflix servers.
1.Get Model
2.Get Software Version
3.Get Certification Version
4.Get ESN
5.Get ESN Prefix
Those are all the functions it calls for device checking. That I could find. There is also a certificate file ca.pem that controls how long the app works for before you have to get new certificate that is encrypted up the ass so big roadblock..... Sorry I tried and will continue to try but it does not look good... Damn those large companies with their big sticks.

Anyone else getting this? Any workarounds?

Same issue.
I wonder if a build prop for 1.3 would work?
Xoom users seem to be having great sucess
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!

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.

Nothing so far.. Someone will have to get PIA to tells us how to get it going since other VPN's are working.... Check the comments here: http://www.vpntips.com/fire-tv-vpn-install/
And Root will probably be required no matter which vpn you use.
I've actually been looking for privateinternetaccess to work since I first received the Fire TV. I haven't been able to get it going yet, but I'm hoping someone else may finally get it working!
Only way I am aware of would be to run the VPN on the router....

Yup that's the only way it'll work. You have to put ddwrt on your router and set up the PIA VPN there.

The note 9 doesn't need a physical dex dock, just a type c to hdmi cable. I have one plugged into my TV and a keyboard that connects to 4 devices over bluetooth. Phone screen acts as a mouse.
im really hoping i can get this to run on my s9 plus. They have released the img file already, i just need to get ahold of the apk for the dex/linux app.
I registered but the registration page talks about a free trial version of linux for dex, but what does that mean? that after will be paid?

Just tried it,to see if I could replicate your issue:
No problems here,got an immediate confirmation email,stating a link for the app will be sent soon (11/12/18 or thereabouts,I'm guessing,per the signup page).
If you're on mobile,perhaps try on desktop PC with any ad blockers & such turned off (Ghostery/AdBlockPlus/etc...).
Another thought came to mind,check to make sure when you enter your gmail address,leave off the @ gmail.com,as it's already there.
