Just began to play around!

Wow! So far my first initial impressions with the Streak unlocked is very good! I never played with an Android phone, but this one is blowing me away with what it can do compared to my iPhone 4. I love how much control I get with this device. For the first couple of hours, I was getting error messages when browsing sites about server redirects and also noticed the screen was never auto rotating on 2.2. I found the Dell package update and now I am loving the browser and the rotation works perfectly! So far I downloaded the Dolphin HD and Firefox Browser, but prefer the Dolphin. I also synced my iTunes library and photos using Double Twist. I bought some games - Fruit Ninja, psx4droid and snesnoid. I only tried psx4droid which runs very well. I read a few online comics using flash and played some music listening from it's very loud rear speaker. I really like it. I am still trying to figure out how to add words to Swype, but eventually will figure it out. All I need to do now is find a good podcast player that does the 2x speed like my iPhone and somehow get Netflix playing on it and the phone/tablet will be perfect. I love how portable it is compared to my wife's iPad. I can actually fit it easily in my pocket and use it for real web browsing and book reading on the Kindle app! Does anyone think buying a magazine subscription on Zinio is worth it?

I think this is the post your talking about I pulled my build prop from my phone and it didint have the suggested value thou heres the link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11268565&postcount=1201

I think vlara has got the wrong thread...
Glad to hear stories like yours! welcome to android!
You can use playon to stream netflix from your PC, i haven't tried it yet but you can there is a trial period for it.
As for zinio, if your into magazines go for it. There are some magazines you can download for free, try one of those out and if you like it, buy it

Performance Fix. I am running 318 with the performance fix and it works well for me.
Installing any of Steve's ROM's requires that you flash a replacement recovery, see this guide at streakdroid.com.

Skype with video on XOOM

I don't know may it's stupid request, but may could change somehow apk for Thunderbolt that it works on our XOOM devices? I tried to install apk of Skype with Video on my XOOM WiFi, but without success.

Hope that somebody will find a way how to install above-mention Skype on our XOOM

I would LOVE to have this working on our Xooms!

Yeah! That will be pretty neat. I'm not a dev, but truly believe that this apk isn't just sighned for xoom, and that results in "app not installed" message

I tried to install it too, didnt work ;-(

There has to be something within the files that only allow it to work on the Thunderbolt. I opened the apk and searched through the files, but did not see any type of device ID or anything that read "thunderbolt" or HTC. I remember when I used to make BlackBerry hybrids, there were "device IDs" that could be modified. I am uncertain about Android.
I am going to try and install it on other model phones running Froyo and see what I can figure out.
The only other thing I could think is that it is just not written to be compatable with honeycomb as most apps arent.

It won't install on my Evo either

Yes, at least I'm check it, but it doesn't help

Tried installing that APK on Nexus 1, Galaxy S and Xoom, none of them work. There seems to be a lot of buzz about this but not too much info beyond that.

Skype really needs to release a Honeycomb video chat client. With so many HC tablets in the works, it would really be a killer app.
However, I think I can understand Skype's hesitation. Can you fellas imagine the massive amounts of traffic that would hit Skype's datacenters?

I just tried G-Chat Video chat, and it works amazingly well if you guys haven't tried it. At least as a temporary alternative.

Why don't google hurry up and update talk with video like when using gmail you can video chat?

Google's video-chat already works on the Xoom.

Is that a tablet only thing as it's missing from galaxy s?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Google talk video was released only for Honeycomb.
It cross platform Google solution because it works with PC and mac running Google talk.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing for Froyo.

Is there a way to use Google Talk for calls with Skype users?

FYI this program works on XOOM and available for Android and iOs system.

[Q] hulu

sorry if this has been hashed out somewhere else but i could not find it. does anyone know if you will be able to watch hulu on the transformer. my guess is no but alas i still have to ask thanks a lot

Hulu doesn't allow any mobile device to play their video, except for devices supported by Hulu+ (which I think is only iOS devices at this point).
I've been using PlayOn TV for both Netflix and Hulu on my Xoom, and it works well enough. Needs a Windows PC to stream the video, and it costs a bit of money, but actually still works out less than Hulu+ so it's a bit of a wash at this point.

Use the included My Desktop feature to watch Hulu.

that's what i thought. its pretty lame for those of us who want to use them as a laptop replacement

I agree, but be thankful that you can take your Android device out of a box and start using it - with iOs, you are forced to use a computer to "activate" the device. What a PITA!

agreed i had a iphone 4 it was jailbroken. well anyways i tryed to do a master reset so i could sell it and low and behold it forced me to update to the latest software and firmware. it sure was a pain to sell it after that, now i have HTC inspire and much more happy

Actually, there is a flash player mod that hex edits the lib file to trick hulu into thinking your a windows PC. It works great on the incredible aand the xoom (I'm told) :,but whether that will work with transformer is another story.
Also, to the best of my knowledge, it requires root.

dont mean to bring up an old thread but in case anyone is wondering .. using the hacked flash apk, i was able to stream through hulu.com .. works good and although its not in HD, the quality is very good!

different netflix apps

I just saw tthis while catching up on my evo threads. I tried most the rred versions and no dice, it will install but I still get the unsupported device msg

hopefully someone can get there hands on the APK and see if they can get it working on the Xoom

it's not going to happen.

yeah its not going to happen as this Netflix specifically works with Qualcomm snapdragon chipsets for its drm and probably decoding to. It has been cracked to get working on other snapdragon phones but no Tegra 2 device works with it. You'll just have to wait.

That apk that disabled the device check indeed does work on the tegra 2 chipset on my droid X2 so you would think it would be possible on the xoom as well some how. I tried that same apk on the xoom but get the error message that it isn't supported on this device. Has to be possible I'd think though.

My TF had a firmware update over the weekend and NetFlix does show up in the Market now and I was able to download it. However, it still wont stream the content. I am not sure why or what causes the Market to allow access to a Tegra2 device but it is there...

This one is working right now.

Works on my 3G Xoom. Pretty decent picture considering how poor my signal is right now. It's a joke that Netflix isn't allowing this build to run on more devices.

Works great for me. I'm so happy with the Xoom now!
C_K

Here is a netflix apk that works just fine on my wifi Xoom, I think this one was orinigally a modded version for the Dell Streak 7 (Terga chipset) and it just happens to work on the Xoom as well. I tested it on a 3g tether, ( it was grainy but what do you expect at 250k?) and on high speed broadband where it performed really well.
Xoom_Netflix.apk via mediafire
Enjoy.

But why would we need a modded version now that the official apk runs great on the Xoom? I downloaded the official version from the post here in the Xoom forum under Xoom Themes and Apps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1177955 and it works great. Hell I even installed it on my x10 and it works on that too.
By the way, I tested this apk on my xoom tethered to my x10 and was watching Speed Grapher with a crystal clear image. Pretty speedy load time too with no buffering.

[Guide] Enable Wifi 5GHz Stock ICS

I noticed that I could not connect to 5GHz after updating to stock ICS. I mentioned this before in a thread and wanted to share with everyone else here. This requires root!
This is credited to Entropy512, I used his guide for the sgs2 found here.
I use Es File Explorer found on the Play market
1. Navigate to /system/etc/wifi/
2. Open nvram_net.txt and change the ccode from GB to ALL.
3. Save
4. Reboot
Pretty straight forward and should be easy for everyone.
For P7500 users and international firmware, check to verify nvram_net.txt_us ccode=US

Thanks.. working so far but i have to test it on 5GHz Access Point.
Will reprot later...

Thanks for this info.
This is, so far, the only reason I want to root my tab.
My tab works great. No problems with YouTube or anything else.
However, I have an Amazon Prime membership, and streaming videos is a chore.
I can get it to work reasonably well with some videos, but most are choppy, etc., the usual stuff.
I'm pretty sure it's due to the wireless access I have, an Apple Airport Express. It works fine for everything except Amazon videos.
The range is quite limited, and I think it's just not quite up to the task of streaming movies (a shame really, because it's otherwise been solid as a rock since I installed it in March. It was also a snap to set up even for me, who knows nothing about wireless).
I'm guessing that the new model Express, which has both 2.4 and 5, will give me the extra ooomph I need.
If not, I may have to bite the bullet and get a new router. I hesitate because the wired router I have works great.
Thanks again.

The steps should be similar. The information was originally pulled from my old phone and the files were essentially the same. Pretty much need to make the change and save the files.

Since it did not help, you will need to inquire in your device section since this is for the first gen Galaxy Tab 10.1 (P75xx series). It might require more than the changes I posted for this tab.

Thanks. I go there.
