MLB.tv: No Streaming for Epic 4G

Well - thank you Samsung.
MLB.tv updated the AtBat2011 app today to include live streaming on Android devices. Woohoo, right?
Well, not so much. Because Samsung has delayed the official FroYo release for the Epic, the Evo is the only Sprint Device that is supported for live video streaming. Of course, I'm sure my ACS FrozenROM could handle the requirements, but because the Epic isn't officially supported the video option doesn't even show up.
I doubt there are any tricks to spoof device ID, but if anybody has any ideas, that would be great.
Otherwise, I just have one more reason not to buy another Samsung device again. Or, more properly, one more reason to be upset about the FroYo release (or lack thereof).
Here's the link to the app: https://market.android.com/details?...android.gameday.atbat2011.full&feature=banner

I feel your pain on this one. I got the update this morning and was psyched about it. But I was quickly let down when I notice my Epic wouldn't work!!

Thanks for this update. I almost bought it yesterday, then I saw that MLB partnered up with Apple for a free month trial for iPhone users. Hoping for the same Android deal, I see that it's wrought with problems still and not ready for primetime.

The Nexus S is supported, so is there a way to spoof the Epic as a Nexus S? I thought I remember seeing somewhere that one of the ROMs was using a modified market using a Nexus S identifier. Could the same approach be used here?

LIVE GAMES!? GET THIS TO WORK, NOW!!!! I always loved getting the radio feeds but if I can get the actual games, I'd freak the hell out...

speaking of that...when i goto mlb.com on a winmo device..gameday doesnt drop down anymore???? i havent found a way for gameday to come up on the epic, if there is one. but i also would love to listen to the games, anyway to do this on the epic??

Yea, the MLB app. It's $14 but well worth it if you use it as much as I do. I'm dying for live stream of games.

Bonsai was/is? Using the Nexus S keys so we could get protected apps from the market. I thought everybody here was doing the same on the leaked froyo's. Give Randy _T or Mammon a pm.

Not without some kind of tweak it appears, I've got the MLB11 App and I'm on Bonsai and don't see any live video options so it seems to still be reading it as an Epic.

When I started using the CM7 alpha, I got an email from google thanking me for my nexus purhase...

I think it was only being done on the DK28 leak froyo's. No reason to do it now that EC05 is out.

If you can afford it, get Slingbox. They run from $150 to $250... The Solo (the lesser priced one- beware) has some issue with capacitors.. Anything that you can get on your TV can easily be forwarded to your device. I have an Epic, as well. Slingbox forwards me my MLB account (from Roku)... I also get Netflix, Hulu Plus, and lots of other stuff.. music YouTube, International News, etc. If I have a net connection, I can watch and listen to anything on my TV or Roku
To afford all this, I cut my Uverse account back to basic at $19 a month plus box rental. I was spending $90 a month prior to hooking up Roku and Slingbox. One time investment only for Slingbox and Roku. You will have to fork out the $29 for the Slingbox Mobile for Android app to accomplish this. It includes clever remote control codes to manipulate your TV and other hardware at home.
MLB looks fabulous on Roku this year. Last year, it was problematic. This year, great.
You'll be watching the World Series and all the playoff games without forking out any more money. It's a great way to go. Im saving a lot of money. I use it off and on when work is slow.. watch a couple innings, etc.. When we travel, I use it.. .I also use the Sling software on my laptop.

So if live radio working? I want this app.

So I went ahead and installed CM7 Alpha 1 to see if that works, but no such luck. When I go to my account on the market (web version) it shows the phone as a Samsung SPH-D700 under Model. When I'm on another ROM it shows up as just SPH-D700 and the manufacturer is the same in both cases (Samsung)

Could someone please drop MLB Android support a email and ask them why our phone isn't supported?

quick Zune question - need help please

only had my DVP for a day and its my first windows phone.....
i have subscribed to the zune service paying each month for the service...i thought this would give me the eqivilant to spotify that i had on my android device However, when i click on albums to either stream or download (from the handset) it asks me if i want to buy...i thought i was paying a subscription for free unlimited streaming or download same as spotify.
can anyone advise me please
also is it possible to get spotify on my phone
thanks

I think you have to tap and hold on the album/song to get a download option, here's a video: http://www.wpcentral.com/how-get-zune-pass-work-on-the-go-windows-phone-7.
As for Spotify, that was announced as coming with Mango but not sure which countries.

When I hold the only option I get is to buy the item. Seems odd considering I am paying for it.

That sounds like your zune pass subscription is not active. Are you logged in with the email associated with your Zune pass?

When you setup your phone, the login must be the same one used for Zune. Not the second or third...the first.
If you have done it any other way you must hard reset and start over.
If the phone login is the same as your Zune login and it does not work, call Zune support to help you.

thanks for your help
the problem was that i had signed into zune on my phone with a different account to the one on my computer.
very annoying though that the only way to resolve it was to completley format the phone and start over again....lucky i guess that i have only had it a few days.
thanks to all of you who had helped me to sort it though.
i am sure there maybe a few other questions i need help with also..

Annoying? This is the way it has been since day one. Its mentioned in the startup guide. Efjay pointed you to the video. All the MS documents online point to this. All the Zune docs point to this. For problems of this nature, how to's, keep WindowsPhone.com in mind. Phone setup, configurations snd how to documentation is great. XDA is great for the more difficult problems.

Sorry for raising a thread on what was clearly quite 'simple' issue to some...it was annoying the gell out of me! I pay as a 'premium' user on here and wanted to make use of all the great knowledge on here rather than trawl the internet or spend hours on the phone. I will however come up with a more challenging problem fir you next time=P
Thanks anyway

Don't be like that. Annoying and Challenging are 2 different things. XDA is a great source of issues, resolutions, work arounds, and challenging problems. On XDA you will find great ideas, fun experiences, and, a sound kick in the butt if you don't do your research before posting a problem. If you search and do NOT find what you're looking for, there are dozens of people ready to help. But....if you do not do the search before posting....there are dozens of people ready to remind you of that before they help.
Thats just the way it is...and it makes no difference if you're a premium user, or just a bum like me. The same rule applies for us all.
How MS, or any other company, designs their solutions, is always open to debate. Annoying and irritating simply cloud the issue. Android and Apple require a login on their phone for their services. If you do not use the same or correct login, you will not get your apps restored, or access to many of the histories saved with those services....to include backup and restore, and Music. Thats just the way it is. XDA premium users have little influence on those design methods.
Sorry if I offended you with my reply. That was not my intent. Reminding you that a little research would have allowed you to find the answer, and see that the resolution was not clouded, hidden, or designed to cost you a premium subscription to XDA, was my only point. If you're annoyed at the way things are...I'm afraid there is not a reasonable resolution available on these forums.
BTW..how does one become a premium subscriber to XDA?

your response seemed a little 'sharp' and in my opinion was not really necessary...i received good advice on here, it solved my problem, and i thanked those concerned.
By 'premium' i mean i pay for the app to support the cause and not just use the free downloaded one
Anyways moving on....

Point made.

What about a "media player" ROM?

Along with many others, I am moving on from my still perfectly usable EVO. I have a daughter who wants an ipod touch and I was thinking of converting the EVO. Since she wants the ipod, I was thinking of MIUI with the phone components stripped out. I don't have the skill to hide everything (nor the time to learn). But, I would think basics could be done by most of us...unless there is someone with that skill, and more interest than just me in this becoming a ROM.
ROM or not ("not" meaning a one off that I do for my use), the EVO will be a more than suitable mobile media/game machine as it's been for me since launch day. Anyone else done this?

MIUI I would think. Use Root Explorer to rip our the phone stuff and other .apk you don't want. Leave in Market and maybe Amazon Appstore so she can get games and music

That is what my old Hero is essentially used for. I did not remove anything but I just installed CM7 and we keep it in Airplane Mode with (Wifi on) and my son uses it to play games.

Exactly. If the phone is taken off the account it wont work a phone anymore since Sprint towers won't allow it to make or receive phone calls so it could be considered a mini tablet at that point (powerful mini tablet tho). If your daughter needs to make purchases she can use the wifi radio to connect to the internet.
The other option is to disable the radio... there is an app on the market called network that will allow you to control if you want the CDMA radio to work... you could install the app, disable the radio and then remove the app. This way IF you ever need a spare phone you can revert the process and have the CDMA radio back online.
As far as removing the phone apks... I have seen many threads that indicate that doing such thing might be a bad idea since most seem to bootloop when they are removed. It make sense that it does, after all the EVO is a phone.

This. I once accidentally deleted the phone apk with root explorer and everything went to hell. Had to pull the battery and do a nand restore. Although, I'm sure if you had a ROM that was designed to operate without a phone apk, it would work just fine. Tablets don't have them.

MIUI is perfect for this.
I don't think I will even have to "remove" core parts (wasn't concerned since I have a nandroid of synergy from last night), just hide them. I would have liked using this before, but the 4G was a killer for me...until now.

The Quest to Turn a G1 into a lean, mean, GPS navigating machine..

Howdy,
So alas I have moved past my good ole flashin' days of the G1 and got the new blackberry 9900 about 2 months ago (loooove it).
But I found my awesome G1 in my closet and have a mission in mind. To transform it into a rockin GPS Navigator. Alas Blackberry (nor iPhone for that matter) do not have an amazing GPS Navigator like google's navigator (they pale in comparison). So I am thinking itd be swell to use my g1 solely for that purpose.
I am going to worry about the specifics of tethering it later, or possibly just load up the maps via wifi before I leave my home..
I am also going to buy a dashboard holder thing (any suggestions) and a car charger. However right now I am focused on getting the actual software on the beast.
I flashed it to SuperD (a 1.6 rom) which is super stable and fast and not flashy. Which is exactly what I need.
Basically I am asking for suggestions or any hints you androiders can think of to help me in my quest to made the g1 into a solid GPS. I will keep this updated on it, hopefully with photos down the road in case any one else would like to follow suit. Do you have any tips for using the navigation app, or ideas for the best settings or rom/which version of android to use?
Thanks!
And stay strong G1-ers

Let me know how it turns out.
I might I do the same.
Thanks in advance.

Can anyone think of any serious uses for our G1s? On the net there are tons of pages with funny stuff like using old phone as a doorstop (the G1 would be too fat ), but who would use a G1 as a media player? We have new phones or dedicated mp3 players, and it's not good enough to use as a retro emulating games device. Any ideas?

I replaced my G1 with my LG G2X.
My G1 would not even play angry birds, It would show the loading screen and never load or goto a black screen, Crash and end the APP.
You can get a cheap prepaid ANDROID phone for under $50 on sale that will walk all over the G1. Also check Craigslist for some good deals.
I have a CRICKET ZTE 500 SCORE.
It has a lot of uses and including a media player. VOIP and GPS.
I use it with a Bluetooth speaker to play MP3'S at work.
