Hulu on Vibrant (Froyo)

It's been a while since I've seen a definitive thread on Hulu and galaxy s.
Here's a good thread from the fascinate with clockworkmod zip and a .apk install. Works just fine on the Vibrant, sometimes you have to close the background process of the hulu app.
Hulu streams quite smoothly on the vibrant too!

What he means is data throttle. All the wonderful sim-lock carriers in the US is capped at 5gb of data. If you exceed 5gb, then you'll be throttled slower than dialup. Technically its unlimited, but throttled.

What I don't get is it is in Hulu's best interests to have Huly playing (their free version) on any and every mobile device out there. Its the market foot print for their advertising. Their marketing dept needs to go back to school!

Oh yeah I forgot about that... that is pretty dumb. 5GB in one month is a lot of usage though. I've never even come close to that, but that's not to say I wouldn't with Hulu. Giving it a try though.

It's the networks (crying about DRM) who are holding it up, not Hulu.
Hulu did announce last month official support for Android is coming soon.

Hulu's marketing team understands that just fine. The people who don't are the old school content companies that own it(Comcast/NBC, Disney/ABC, News Corp, etc.). They still think that by locking down their content, it will force people to keep paying out the arse for it, rather than just pushing more people away.

Wait so is hulu free for vibrant?

Thier up-coming free android app will be (i assume) for their Hulu+ line up. Which is their paid $7.99/mo service. I will also assume that Hule has no desire to reslease their free website for the Android browser to watch shows, because they see Google TV as a competitor not a platform. Yet, I built my windows box hooked to my hi-def TV and can watch streaming Hulu content all day long through my windows box (i cut my cable about a year ago). Microsoft is not pay Hulu one nickle, but Google TV (android) is seen as a competitor!
To answer you question, NO - Hulu is not free on your android device, unless you can find a hack to watch it.

[Q] Getting Frustrated Trying to Root

I think i might be losing my mind. I unfortunately updated to 2.3.3 without thinking. Now that I am trying to root my phone, ive got some questions.
1. When it comes to CF-root, what program do I use to flash a tar file? All I can come up with is Odin, but thats only for samsung. I got started on post #2 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12489034
2. I tried using SWUpgrade to put the tar file on my phone, but I couldnt figure out how to get my evo into "Download Mode". Does this even exist on the evo?
3. And lastly, is there a way to just get the hotspot app to work? Because that is the only reason I want to root. I get about 6-7MBs down with 4g on at my apartment and I want to use my phone as my ISP instead of paying for DSL\Cable.
Sorry if these are all stupid questions, but Ive spent all day glued to this screen google-ing and searching till my fingers are numb to no avail. Your comments are much appreciated

This is the HTC Evo forum.
"Download mode" "odin" even the instructions you linked to are all Samsung based.

what he said ^^
also....since you updated to 2.3.3 you cannot root as of this time. the devs still haven't found the exploit to give root on the Evo. So all the methods of rooting that are out there right now cannot be used on the OTA 2.3.3 (they are for 2.2 and lower).
just be patient...they'll find an exploit soon enough....hopefully

Yea, I figured as much. So, while Im waiting to be able to root my phone, is there still the possibility to hack\unlock the hotspot app?

Do you have an Evo?
If so this is a good easy thread for rooting.
I'm sure it will be updated as soon as rooting is possible on 2.3.3.

I am with you there. My DSL went up to $49 from a low of $27. I am canceling the DSL and I am contemplating just paying sprint for the hotspot until somebody finds a hack for 2.3.3.
Sprint $30 vs Comcast $49. Blo-me Comcast.

Why not use one of the tethering apps on the marker? Search 'tether' and you will get some options. Last I checked, they require pc software, but you can try them out and see if they work for you.

Why not just pay for the hotspot feature? It's $30.00 a month, which is still cheaper than your DSL or Comcast.

I have a work laptop that doesn't allow pda net or easy tether. They made me uninstall the tray software for easy tether.
Gonna go get my other pc from the house tonight. I have three residences, this one has minimal amenities. This way with my own pc and at least I can tether visa usb.

IF you have an Evo with 2.3.3 / Gingerbread... no, you can't root right now. There are many threads with this discussion. All the same answer. You cannot use any known method to root. You cannot downgrade unless you have a good friend in HTC.
Odin is for Samsung. The Evo is by HTC. HTC ≠ Samsung.
There is no temporary root for Gingerbread Evo, no permanent root, no S-off method. Unrevoked is working on it. If rumors are to be believed, they are close.
Gingerbread Evo = UNROOTABLE (currently)

[Q] New Hangouts app

I was wondering if anyone had tried yet. Mine still shows up as talk, but when I go to the play store it says I have hangouts installed and when i open it from the play store it just opens talk. Since talk came as a system app on the phone does it not get swapped out for hangouts?

Yeah, same here. I wouldn't worry about it though, I'm sure it'll be fixed quite soon.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337

They updated it today. But I just went in and in uninstalled talk from system (im rooted) and installed hangouts from Play store. So far I like it. Can't wait untill it has sms integration which they said is coming soon
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app

Talk got replaced by Hangouts for me. I did push it from the Play Store from my desktop though. You can try to backup Talk, uninstall it, then install Hangouts. That worked for me also. You're not missing much though. The big news is that it's available for iOS.

Check out the permissions for Hangouts, it already includes sending and receiving SMS and MMS. In addition there was a post by a Google employee (don't recall where, but I read it earlier today) saying that it will be coming soon as it's one of the most requested features.

Key there is to open the link via browser. Even if you have Google Talk, you can install Google Hangouts over it.

According to the agreement after configuring the app, this is a free service with no recurring fees app. You can confirm that by installing the app yourself.

Finally saw the latest update come across the play store. New build number is 2.10.1.27. APK is pulled, I'll update OP with it.

Thanks for keeping up with this! Hopefully one day at&t will wake up and make it available to all of us.

I can not get any version of this to work on my Nexus 6. I tried every single one of them from the original post. Tried both on and off wireless.
Called AT&T and verified that VVM had not been shut off on my account when I transferred from my Sammy Galaxy S3 to my Nexus 6 too.
This is all I get. Thoughts?

Firmware update for Note 4 due this week

I'm working with Gear VR and had reason to ask the right questions to my contact at Samsung and here's what he had to say today about a firmware update that I need for development (but everyone will get), "I'm hearing the Verizon update is supposed to be available in the next few days or so"
Just thought I'd share since it's rare we have reliable, official announcement before the OTA's flow. To be clear, I don't know if this update will be Android L. I DO know that it will have the bits needed to support Gear VR on retail devices.
He's also working on getting me the ROM sooner, but I'm not sure if I will be allowed to distribute. Maybe others will be getting it early for the same reasons though so if you want a decent reason to hope....

Only lag I have is the recent apps cap. Takes a second or two sometimes to load up my list of recent apps. Not sure if this is related with ART though. Any thoughts?

What did the AT&T update consist of? Minor stuff or Android L?

We WILL get Gear VR support ( the whole point of this thread). Beyond that, I can't say and don't care much. If I was fixed on root or L, I wouldn't be running the Note 4 given how good Samsung is getting at locking the boot loader. In fact, If not for my VR development, I might have purchased my first Nexus device despite the lack of SD (or grabbed the G3).
By the way, why are people still spamming with "sent from my weAlreadyKnowAndDontCare using irrelevantAndAnnoyingApp"? That's so Outlook 2000

This is the first Android phone for me where I am not terribly concerned if I don't get an unlocked bootloader. Root would be nice but it's not a deal breaker for me. I am looking forward to Android L on this phone.
As for my Tapatalk signature, I rarely post in forums so I forgot the signature was even there! I more or less read forums these days.
Thanks for posting the information!

Is this OTA really worth taking seeing as we seem not to be close to attaining root?

Yeah that's the only lag for me as well. I'm not running on ART and I have it so I think it doesn't matter there. Just need a software update to fix that issue then this phone will be perfect!

Agreed. Switched back to JIT Dalvik and it Was still persistant. Hopefully this update will tweak a lot of things.

It's Friday. I wish there will be something during the weekend. Really want the HD calling
