"Sorry, the Blockbuster server cannot be found. Please make sure your device is connected to a data network (3G or Wi-Fi) and try again."
....... nope. haha
Kinda sucks..... i like Netflix for their FREE streaming with subscription.... but hate that they have delayed new movie releases. I like Blockbuster's online rental service due to getting new movies right away.... but they charge like $3-4 for one streaming movie. It's also nice that blockbuster has game rentals.... but lame that you have to wait like 3-6 months apparently before any of the new games are even available, but from my friend's experiences, GameFly isn't that reliable either.
*sigh*
Not working for me. Says need network connection and i have full bars not to mention im on wifi.

It was working for me for a minute. Where it usually says will be working in so and so days, it went straight to a.screen where it said thankyou for trying the app and they will let you try 1 movie free I guess. I just opened.the app again and your right now it says, the wifi 3g message. I should of tried to sign up when it was supposedly working.

I have downloaded the first version of the Blockbuster app 2.0.37. It will let you download the app from the market, but when you open the app it goes to a connection error message, saying it needs to be connected by 3G,4G, or WiFi. I then tried using WiFi to use it and it said it is connecting but then gives another error message saying carrier undefined? . Is this app ever going to be up and running!

I get the data error also, but not before first getting an error code 12012. Anyone else get that?
Yes! Finally got past all those error messages when trying to open the new Blockbuster app. First had to go to Blockbuster.com to register for a account, credit card ect. ,after you do that, you are supposed to verify your account with a numeric code they give you. Then your device will say activating, then brings you right to the Blockbuster App online store. Before the app went online it said on the advertisement app page that Atrix owners would get 1 or 2 free rentals, when the app starts working. I wonder how we get those free rentals? I will try it out now and post results, should stream well im guessing because of the Atrix's high res screen.

I get a tamper detected as root error: This device will not be able to download or plaback Wdieine ecrypted content.
So it looks like if your rooted you will not be able to use this app.

Ya I guess not, iam not sure if the Blockbuster app works with root. I just did a return and have not done the update yet, and it is now final working for me!
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I don't think it really detects root right. I had rooted my phone but did the update and lost root. I still have the super user icon but any programs that require root don't work, yet I still get the error with the Blockbuster app that says root was detected. Pretty weak.

Is it just me and my xoom with 3.2 ROM... but I can't browse the market at all.... I'm missing the little arrows after "TOP PAID" etc. This makes browsing the market impossible... I can search and do see the staff pics etc. But cannot browse large categories...anyone else, or do I have to start fiddling with titanium...
Are you rooted? I have the same issue.

So Google has made the market on tablet unusable in a way.... the new market on my Milestone (Droid) works OK.
It looks that way. I'm gonna dig a little and see what I can find. It may just be a fluke though.

Can not download free apps either.
The solution here and other boards does not work, remove Google Account and clear cached does not work.
It's some kind of linking issue in market. They left out the ability to see the tabs. If you search for an app that will work on the tablet it shows up. I just can't seem to find out why. It is like this on rooted and non-rooted xooms. They maybe working on it or may not even be aware the 3.2 update has this issue.

Helped.... so the broblem truly lies on the market itself
no problems here
I have a stock, not-rooted Xoom on 3.2, and the market is working fine for me. My Market version # is 1.0.28, if that helps anyone.
Edit: by "working fine" I mean not having the problem the OP described--I can access all parts of the market. But all is not well in marketland--I often have issues downloading/installing free apps. The "waiting to install" message will stay on the page while the progress bar grinds for a while. Sometimes things download, sometimes they don't.
So is this a 3.2 issue only? I have the same issue on rooted 3.2 with apps not downloading. I have yet to try paid apps versus free apps. I have only been trying free apps. im going to try a paid app as soon as I get my hands on that f_cker again.... or just say eff it and go back to 3.1... So it also kinda sounds like android wasnt ready for the 3.2 market update. ****ty..
I can download and install free or paid apps, my problem is the lack of good browsing of apps on the market...

Same here, the links don't work. This seems to be a problem with European Market. GT10.1 users are also reporting this, so it has nothing to do with Android 3.2 or Xoom. It seems Google has updated European Market, it now includes "Featured for Tablets" section.
So i'm still having this issue. Ive installed Amazon app market and can install any app just fine, paid or not. I'm even back at stock rooted 3.1 versus the custom 3.2 rooted. I started looking into a complete market replacement app that doesnt rely on the market to d/l apps with roughly the same amount of apps, but it doesnt look like there are any. I did however find this, and yes its a repost, but I saw no mention of it here and thought it might be useful to some folks. I can't stand the WP7 look the new market has but whatever if it works then sweet. I have yet to try it but once I get home from work today thats the first thing i'm doing. Here are the links for the the 'WP7' style market that all our android phones got updated to, which also works on tablets:
Here is the XDA thread link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166169 (this one has the apk link)
And the Xoom forums link with reviews:
http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/motorola-xoom-help/8687-market-issues.html
Try it and post back if it works for any of you as i'll do the same.
ALSO just make sure you use Titanium backup to backup your current Market app before trying this replacment. Just in case.
EDIT:
So more results from research, since I only have my HD2 to work with here I have tried some tricks to revert back to an older version of the android market, it is the same fashion that I will do with my xoom. I have downgraded my market and 'disabled' (really just changed the permissions) the market updater apk to not have it update. I can confirm that it works so that way when I change the market on my xoom I can follow this same process to not have the market auto update and just enjoy xoom sweetness!!
Here is the info & link for reference:

Figured out a way to stop the market from auto updating itself after you uninstall the 'update' to v3. However, I take no responsability if this screws up your phone and more knowlegeable people can feel free to chime in...
1) locate /system/app/MarketUpdater.apk on your android.
2) change the Read, Write, and Execute settings to none (was rw-r--r-- for me)
That should do it. So far, I have not had the market update itself and am able to continue using v2. I used Absolute System [here: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.canvs2321.absolute.system&feature=search_result] to undo it, although I am certain there are other pieces of software out there that can modify system files and allow you to look at the data. You DO need a rooted and NAND unlocked phone it says to run the software.
Hope this helps a few ppl.

Just a heads up. As of today My market works OK. Now the little arrows after each category have come back and browsing the market is much easier...
So I'm seeing a bunch of apps that are not compatible with the the nexus 7... (TMZ, Newsday, Amazing Alex, Six Guns, HBO Go, etc.) I am rooted and have tried changing the dpi to 160 and full tablet model but the that doesn't do that Chavez these apps compatibility.
I saw this once in the past with the One X. Someone found a way to change the way the device identifies itself to the play store. Is this the same type of issue?
Anyone have a way around this? My last tablet was a Transformer prime and I would like to be able to run these apps on my N7 as well.

It's usually because the developer hasn't changed the market info to enable support for jelly bean.
if you have these apps on your phone or other tablet you can backup the apk and try to install it on the N7 and see what happens. Also good to report back to the developer through an email letting them know that the app does not show up, or it does not work.
TMZ works just fine but the HBO Go & Max Go apks still don't work even after a DPI change to 170 so the only other possible way is to edit the build.prop to trick both the market & app to think that it's a different device but I'm not that sure it will work because I think only one of the Go apps have been updated for tablets but I might be wrong on that I also tried to edit the apk directly to work on ICS months ago before they added support and I couldn't fix that so I'm not even going fool with it thus time if you need the apks PM me

HBO Go explicitly supports only a handful of tablets and the Nexus 7 isn't one of them yet.
EDIT: Also this: "- Now supporting Android tablets running up to version 4.04 (Ice Cream Sandwich)"
Is there a way around this? I haven't rooted yet, but I will eventually. It's pretty annoying that a lot of apps that I have already searched for aren't there...
I need my HBO Go!

If an app is not supported it's for one of three reasons
1) the app developer has put a 'ceiling' on the app so it can only be downloaded by devices up to a certain version of android. Most likely 4.0.4 and they have not updated the play store information to allow for 4.1/4.1.1
2) the app developer only allows it for certain devices (HBO GO) and has to manually add support for the Nexus 7 either through more development in the app or simply enabling support for it in the Play Store.
3) The app does not work in jelly bean and there for the developer is not allowing anyone to download it and has done one of the above until they can enable support for it.
This happened with honeycomb (3.0) and ice cream sandwich. (4.0) and there is nothing to freak out about. Just email the dev and tell them that you can't download it on the nexus 7 with jelly bean.
Has anyone tried the Comcast Xfinity app? I cannot get it to work. It loads, you are able to choose video, but when it starts trying to play it says your video will play shortly with a spinning circle next to it and never goes any farther.
Same exact thing on HBO GO on Fios.

You can try to change the build.prop in you system folder to match another device. I did this on my older tablet and on my galaxy note to get more games to show.
U need root access to read and write system folder.
ro.product.model=A500
ro.product.brand=acer
ro.product.name=a500_ww_gen1
ro.product.device=picasso
ro.product.board=picasso
Edit these lines. Then reboot make sure u make a backup this may or may not work. Anytime I didn't work I just rebooted again and it went back. If Acer doesn't work you can try an Asus transformer build.prop. There is always gonna be an issue with comparability though. Your better off finding and side loading an apk for now to test rather then buy to find out it don't work.

Let's not make a noise
please check my question again . I read
I'm developer. My app is running on other JB devices ( galaxy nexus no issues what so ever)
I can manually install app on nexus 7 and it works perfect
I just not aware of any limitation could be that would block device. I tried already removing request for vibration permission but still play store doesn't allow app for nexus 7
it's something strange
I already opened ticket @Google for this

Dude. You are wrong. These are not the only reason apps don't show. Tell me why an app would appear and install and run just fine from the amazon app store but not show up at all in the play store?
Try the new Rovio game Amazing Alex. Doesn't show up in play store but comes up in the Amazon app store, installs fine and plays perfectly.
I have side loaded the newsday, ameritrade, tmz for tablets etc... And they all run perfectly.

Forget about what the date says, I check it every day and it used to come up with "Your device is not compatible" at the top, this morning that was gone so I downloaded it and it works perfectly on my SGS3. Anytime + and all, happy days.
EDIT. I've just seen now that they have changed the description in the app and have clearly put there that it is now supported on the SGS3
Date is still the 2nd of July so that obviously means nothing.
I love Sky Go and have decided, on balance, that I'd rather have it than a rooted phone. Annoying, but I've gone back to stock to get it.
I don't think the temporary unroot/hiding root apps work here, unfortunately.

I updated to the latest version and it stopped working so i went and changed to stock ics same issue i eventually got it working today after i realised super user was still installed after removing the app it now works.
From this i guess you might determine that by having super user installed sky deem you as being a rooted device.

Thank you for your reply, Skygo now works perfectly, with a superb picture.
I really want this, but am very happy with the rooted features of my S3. Hopefully a rooted fix will come out for this soon.
when i tried to download this app it said that it wasnt compatible with my device. however, i saw my buddy who has a nexus 10.1 tablet (dont know what its called)
how do i get this app on my phone. this app was the only reason i wanted an iphone 5.
i want to get the full version of the app. i dont mind paying for it but i need a way to access the apk
i've found some sites that are hosting the apk and data but i'd rather ask here to see if anyone has got it working on their device
i currently have the modded google play store, i dont know if that has something to do with my issue
I might be wrong when I say this, but assuming you're rooted you should be able to edit the build prop of your phone the "trick" the Play Store to think you have another phone. I'd advise waiting for someone who knows what they're talking about before trying what I'm saying.
