"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.

How I got to buy apps on the Xoom wifi

Hi,
When I got the Xoom wifi I was hoping to see all apps, free and paid and be able to purchase them. But as I found out, living in the caribbean doesn't allow me to view tablet apps and paid/purchase apps.
Basically this is what I did. It seems to work sometimes, but enough that I was able to get all apps I wanted. Even purchased quite a few. Basically this is what I did and hopefully it can help some of you out there.
1.I rooted my Hero and installed and enabled market enabler. I also opened the market and surfed around a bit. Left market open.
2a.On my PC using a VPN connection I surfed to market and was able to see tablet optimized apps section and purchase apps.
b.In some cases it would not allow me to send the installation to the xoom. So I send it to my Hero and make a backup using Atro. At the same time I put another VPN connection on the rooted Xoom wifi and installed "Paid Apps enabler" and set it to T-mobile. When I installed the APK, market would detect either an update or the tablet version and all would be fine.
Note: noticed that sometimes it would not allow me to purchase on the PC, so I would close the browser and surf a bit in the market on the Hero. Restart the browser on the PC and it would start working again.
I know this is confusing and a bit difficult, but it seems to work fine. Really hope there is a much easier method for us international users. Also as many have mentioned market enabler doesn't work with the wifi xoom.

Have you tried tethering your internet through an American proxy? I bet that would work

I haven't rooted my WiFi xoom as I'm expecting the imminent update so I can't tell if adding a proxy works.
I live in China and it's been bothering me like hell that I can't purchase any paid or country/carrier restricted app in the market, such as kindle, google earth etc.. I have tried factory restored the xoom, disabled any location service and set up a US VPN before starting the market app, still no luck. I wonder how Google managed to determine that my location was not in the States. However I rooted another MZ604 and used market enabler which did work in terms carrier restricted app, didn't try the paid app because it's not mine.
I'm hoping the update will fix this issue for WiFi only xoom. If it doesn't I will root it and try your way. Thanks for the info!

[Request][App] NFL Mobile

Now that the lockout is over and football is just a few weeks away; how difficult would it be to get the NFL app working on the A500?
I downloaded the apk from a thread on xda, but I couldn't get it to work...
Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App

Don't think this will be an option. It's a Verizon only app and it verifies the phone is on their network before running. I tried to install it from my phone and it wouldn't work. Couldn't verify network.
The only Verizion exclusive app I can get to work on the tablet is the Indy Car app.

Thanks for the response! I had it working on my at&t samsung captivate last year. Although, it was wifi only (which I don't mind). There was a way to bypass the network check, but I can't remember how I did it...

I think this question started out as an A500 port idea then ended up saying it will work on this handset but not that - If you are trying to get the pp to work on your phone - use Market Enabler from the market to spoof your phone on Verizon - works for me here in Australia.
as for the A500 - we have to wait for someone to work out how to set locations another way?

Gotta find a way to fake a phone number for the tablet for the market enabler app to work, but it looks like it'd work if we could fake a phone number
Unless someone has a better idea

what if you had verizon and you wanted to watch it on your aconia? couldn't you just put your number in?

It's more than just a phone number. Verizon verifies you are a customer on their cellular network. With no way for the Iconia to connect to a cell network, no way for app to verify you are a Verizon customer. While you can use the NFL app with WIFI, it still verifies you are on the cell network.

I have the apk installed, but when I open it, it just says loading and then closes out... I tried the marketenabler.apk and changed it to Verizon and still no go :\
I hope we can get this working. It would be so badass
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App

OK, I found a new apk and got it to load up. I accepted the license agreement and then it directed me do download a update in the market... this is when I didn't see a update button in the market.
Let me know if anyone wants the apk and I will post it from my comp later.

Update: I changed the build.prop and now the market shows the update button. But, I get a "request not found"

Heres the latest apk: http://www.MegaShare.com/3506031 Have it installed on my Evo 3D but of course i get the usual only for verizon users message. Hopefully someone can get this to work this season. Im more than willing to donate to whoever does.

I hate to bust everyone's bubble but Verizon has made streaming video a premium service this year that requires a monthly subscription to vcast video as well.

No streaming, but here's the official NFL application for tablets.

Constant Network Errors on the new Facebook app

For some reason the new Facebook app is giving me a Network Error message, even though the connection is fine. I have a S3, but it doesn't seem to be affected.

I have had the same thing happen to me on my N4 and N7!! However, when I was getting the network error, I was using a verizon mifi hotspot. I tried uninstalling FB then re installed it, but it kept happening. However, when I took it home and was on tmobile's hspa+ network, I didn't really have any issue.

I'm on the GS2 and i'm having the same problem as well. Each new updates hasn't done a thing to fix this issue...

I get it on my phone and my Nexus, I think it is more of a problem with the app
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

i have the same problem. the new facebook app (version 2.0) always says network error. galaxy note, ICS4

In the gs2 forums, we decided it was caused by ad blockers. Is everyone here using one? It seems like the problem is fixed for me though.

Just go to settings in AdWay > Your List > and uncheck graph.facebook.com

What worked for me was to log out of Facebook book, reboot, log in to Facebook. I haven't had a problem since with it.

Me too.
I had the same problem on my Defy & my S3. So I downloaded a app called FriendCaster. Works very well. I saw some other 3rd party apps too. Might help.

Anyone have a Watchespn blackout work around?

I have done this on a PC using the hotspot shield vpn.... Decide to see if there was a hotspot shield VPN app for nexus 7...
Good news and bad news... There is an app, but not compatible with the device...
I tried a few VPN apps and it masks my IP when browsing... But when I launch my watchespn app, and try to view my game it still says it is blacked out...
Since the folks at xda-developers are some of the sharpest people on the Internet, I am hoping someone is willing to share their knowledge...
Thanks
