Working Media Hub!!!

http://androidfeens.com/?p=2812
This is the Epic 4G's update to enable Media Hub on their device.
It seems like its working on the Vibrant.

sweet.. just download it and installed.. it works really great..

How much are rentals?

Pricing sucks for Media Hub. It won't catch on unless it becomes competitive with that of iTunes or Amazon even it is the only means to buy/rent movies and TV shows. Why pay 2.99 for South Park episodes when I can download them for free and put them on my phone? Rentals are 2.99 and only available for some movies and the purchase price for movies are 9.99. I haven't seen any rental options for TV shows.

Bought a TV show it wont even play

Exactly, I was looking forward to this until I saw the pricing

Still says Coming Soon on mine.

What a huge huge disappointment! The movies are from like the 90s (clueless? Really?) And they want me to buy it for $10??????? Geez

yeah. shows should be 1 buck and movies 5 at the most. why would i want a $10 movie on my phone when i have about 500-700 Xvid/divx moveis on my comp for free

Installed ok but I agree, they should have more content. It's a big yawn right now.

Besides, I can "rent" for $1 down the street. Why would I pay $3 from my phone.

For crying out loud. Media Hub isn't even officially out yet and you guys are already complaining. How about you wait for it to be officially out, then complain? Then again, half of the people on this site are impatient.

It is officially out since they released the OTA Sprint Epic update with working Media Hub app.

More content providers will be on board in the future. ABC is the next provider to jump on board.

Important part: "down the street".
Some people are not as studious as you.

Yeah, its totally unreasonable for anyone to charge for a legal download of a product. Especially since you have so much illegal content already on your computer! Samsung should download all their shows from bit torrent, that way they could give them to everyone for free!
To stay relevant to this post, I agree that the prices are much too high. 99 cent shows would be perfectly reasonable.

Sprint TV

This is probably the wrong forum to ask this on, but does anyone have an idea of what a full package line-up from the Sprint TV service includes? I have the free tv that comes w/ the phone, and it's pretty cool and I think I would use it more if the programming was better - any ideas on where I could get a schedule for the channels they carry? I'm not talking about the free ones, but all of the pay channels they have - it's very vague on the website.

You can see everything available from your phone. Not worth the money you have to pay, IMO. Get yourself a used Slingbox on eBay, and watch the TV you already pay for at home on your TV. I've had mine for months and it is BAD ASS!

So your slingbox sends it to the phone huh. Good call man! I didn't even think of that! Thanks.

Yup.....through the existing internet connection you have at home, the Slingbox can control your tv, cable box, satellite box, etc. Depending on which model of Slingbox you get, you can control multiple devices and it can control your DVR and even a DVD player. It's better than way than to pay Sprint a monthly fee for no where near as many channels. Not to mention, you can view the Slingbox on 3G, 4G or WiFi and SprintTV only lets you use your 3G signal.

Sprint TV sucks.

Explain...

I agree on the Slingbox. I've had mine for years and it has been great. It works perfect on my Evo with 3g coverage.

Sprint TV works just as poorly as it did when I first tried it several years ago on a Treo 700.

hmm, it works pretty damn good on my phone.

I haven't grabbed a Slingbox yet, but I'm going to next Monday. I appreciate the help.

Slingbox quality on evo?
How is the quality of the picture when using the slingbox app on your evo? Does it get a constant feed or does it buffer often? You can watch dvr'd progams through the application? I definitely might be interested based on your feedback.

Where are the accessories?

I was expecting amazon and motorola to have accessories for sale after midnight. I want a damn mobile charger and speaker dock.. what gives.

That page hasn't changed since the superbowl. But using that link that people were using to get the cheaper xooms I am able to add them to my cart.

yea i didnt realize the "how to buy" button led to the official store but link still works just one extra step, my bad.

G Note sales must be doing well in Asia

AXN TV Channel is showing G Note advertisements incessantly.
Sammy wouldn't be spending that money unless initial sales figures and feedback were very positive.
Interesting...

I don't know about other Asian countries, but here in India, they are advertising like crazy. Multiple TV channels, News Papers, Magazines. You name it. A few weeks after launch, they gave a full page ad in the news papers.

Also in Romania, a lot of TV commercials.

There's been **** all in the way of advertising in the UK!

... and nothing here in the United States...

The very moment stock arrive, expect it to be sold out within hours. That's how crazy it is in Singapore.

I am in Hong Kong, at local tv channel doesnt have any tv commerical screening buy galaxy note is selling quite well here,
Its quite common to see a note on the street, even many chicks using it .
I also waited a week when I ordered mine,
The salesman told me note is quite a hit now, been out of stock few times already.

Crazy. Nuts. Gaga.

I noticed a couple of road-side billboards and a TV ad, nothing unusual for a new flagship product here.

Here in India,the owner of the shop from where I got my Note,daily sells atleast 2-3 Galaxy Notes..
Consider this its from a single shop and that too for a high end device,u can easily estimate that the Note is selling like hot cakes.
“Phone? Tablet? Feel Free, It’s Galaxy Note”

In france, this is the same advert the christmas day on TV and in Theater !

The SGSII retains the flagship crown seemingly.

It's out of stock at places. And the store keepers who usually offers some discount don't even talk of it when it comes to the note. It's like take it or leave it.

Selling pretty well here in Malaysia, and the salesperson told me that many also changes the color after a few days (from white to black or black to white).
Also, in the only satellite tv here, Note's ad is showing up like crazy...and I notice these few days SGSII ad also being aired..

It's always out of stock in the telco shops for Singapore. Got mine after waiting for a while!

Free samsung vr games with pre-order

Anyone know what the titles were because I don't think I got them when I got my pre-order. How do I claim them?

Wondering this as well

I was told the content pack wont release until 3/11 which was the official release date

This link shows which games are included (3 different bundles depending on the Network provider):
https://www.oculus.com/en-us/blog/s...oculus-now-bundled-with-galaxy-s7-pre-orders/
and this one when you will get it (03/11)
https://support.oculus.com/hc/en-us/articles/217370708-Samsung-Galaxy-S7-6-Game-Bundle-Promotion-
Just to confirm for Europeans, we don't get the free games.............(just like the titanium silver)....................................

I think it's unfair that this offer is for the US only

Typical, the Europeans get s**t upon as usual. In the UK in particular, not only do we pay over the top after conversion rates, but we don't get the offers either it would seem. I'm surprised we got the headsets.

The S7 was announced on my birthday and I watched the live streaming of the unboxing that same day. I was so excited thinking the phone was shipping with the VR.
I just want my VR. I hate waiting for things to ship.

And what about this "Galaxy Game Pack" that includes over 200$ of in-game currency, that was told in the Unpacked event video???

go to the samsung appstore ("galaxy apps"), switch to the tab "galaxy-apps" and somewhere down there's an image with "galaxy game pack" - "see more". i see 42 games with different exclusive stuff, such as ingame money or other stuff. if it matters, i have the international exynos version.

Checked my vr library today and there were 6 apps/games there waiting to be downloaded that weren't there last night. Don't remember the names.

Odd. One of the first people I saw online to get the s7 was from Europe.

I have 3 coming. I'm going to sell all of them. Step right up Europe

I'm not talking about getting the phones.

He was talking about the fact that this offer is only for the US, same with the silver titanium colour.
