I haven't tried downloading Hulu for a while, but just got my ChromeCast and wanted to give it a shot.
-It's not searchable in the app store from the device
-If I go directly to the hulu app link on mobile, it says my device is not compatible
-If I try to install it from play.google.com, it lists my "Verizon Wireless XT1585" and says that it's not compatible
This phone isn't rooted or cracked or anything (I don't even know if it can be), so any help (short of sideloading it/downloading the APK) would be welcome. I swear I've had it on here before, so I'm not sure if it's related to the Nougat update that happened last month. I did a full reset after that so if it was on there it's gone.
Thanks!
Wouldn't hurt to email Hulu and ask why it's not available.

If you email that address it kicks back and says that they no longer receive emails. They refer you to help.hulu.com which has no useful answers.
Ahh, that's about useless.

I got the Tablet this morning, and was very happy that it arrived so quickly. However, it seems that there is a several bugs in the system that I don’t know what to do about it.
Yahoo messenger will install, allow you to enter your log in information, but will get stuck on yahoo screen with the smiley face, and “loading contact list.” but will NOT load in. Skype and Nimbuzz works fine BTW.
Pandora Radio will not load at all, and will give several error messages. Boots to Pandora splash screen with the following message Pandora http error occurred code: 417 startupAsyncTask
Sling Media player will log in but won’t load the video.
Since I’m deployed in Iraq, it would be much easier to try to fix the problem before thinking of returning the tablet, so, I used Rom Manager, and tried clearing the cached data associated with it. Restored to factory setting. Then I got in contact with Yahoo who after 2 hours of tech support cannot tell me why this is happening. Pandora referred me to Samsung, and Sling Media don't offer support for the tablet, they only offer support to their software. I really don’t have the time and tools to chase tech support from here. Can someone HELP PLEASE?
I'm in South Korea, and I cannot get many US based services, such as Pandora, Hulu, even last.fm will not work here. Amazon is asking if I live in the US and will not let me purchase books or music because I am outside the US.
This may be the problem you are having. But I did not have any problem with Yahoo mail using the Yahoo mail app.
Perhaps you need to set the tab for WiFi only? Just a guess.
i'm using WIFI, and My tablet is GT-P1000 UK model. Oh one more problem i forgot to earlier. i use VPN, it will let me connect but i will have no connectivity to any thing after that. should i flash my tablet? would that solve the problem? if so is there is a full guide, and files on how to flash a UK tablet to stock ROM
Its peobibily because you need to be in the uk to use those services. Try a uk based vpn with web access

Thanks but i dont think the UK VPN got anything to do with it.
Worth a try

Whenever I try to purchase an app, it errors out and gives me "Order canceled due to internal error in Market." I am trying to purchase Project M, but it will not let me, and it will not let me purchase any app it appears. I wiped data, but still no dice, any ideas?
Have you tried web version?
Can't I need to bill my sprint account, and cannot do that from the web market
Have it worked before?
What is your Market version?
Yea it worked up until the end of the app sale, since then it is a no go. I have 3.4.4... Dunno if there is something wrong with my account or not
Looks like I aint the only one though, hopefully google will fix this soon
Well now the apps show purchased, but it won't let me download them, just says starting download
You can login into Google Wallet and verify transactions.
Google Wallet says that it is purchased, however when I hit install, it will only say in "Starting download". I even tried to revert to the old market, and did a refund, and then repurchased it, this is when it stated that the purchase went through for Google Wallet, it wouldn't let me download it with the old market, so I reflashed my rom hoping it would help, it didn't. I cannot download paid apps, is anyone else able to download projectm?
So i have some family members that wanted an android device where they could easily select netflix, hulu, youtube, twitch etc.... but they didn’t want to create an amazon account and i sure as heck didn’t want to leave my account linked to it. If you deregister your device from your amazon using the web the fire tv will not let you use any application until you create or login to an amazon account.
So what I did was:
1. You need Root
2. Install an alternative launcher
3. Using Titanium backup freeze KFTV Launcher and OOBE
4. Go online to amazon.com and deregister the device from your account
5. No more nagging message telling me to log in using an amazon account.
Hope this helps!!!
Because this will kill your connection to amazon please keep in mind that any amazon app downloaded will stop working.

I'm glad someone did this. I always would like to de-register my device from my account, since I have no longer use it. But I didn't try because I'm afraid that will block my root device. By the way, what OOBE stands for?

Just came home and tried it, and it won`t work for me. The login screen will pop up to ask for login to amazon, even I have my own launcher. Weird....

Out of box experience - referring to the initial state a device is in when it is taken out of the box. A lot of time the first time you power on a new device it will come up with an initialization wizard that asks to active/register etc, and it only runs once.
Right now I'm using the stock Samsung Email program for my work Exchange. However, I'd ideally like to look at the Google Email program because I think the notification from that will work better with my Android Wear watch.
I know when I first got my phone I could use either one but that was back on 4.4.2 (I think). Since upgrading to 4.4.4 I can't get the Google Email program to work. Play store won't let me download it saying that it's not compatible with my phone. I was able to find a apk and side loaded it, but when trying to set it up to connect to my Exchange server, it flashing for a very brief second saying it's trying, then gives me an error saying it can't connect.
I'm quite positive I have all the setting right as they are the same settings I use with the Samsung program. I'm guessing there is something going on that's blocking the Google Email app from running.
I'm running a stock ROM, but am rooted.
Any ideas?
I'm not rooted, but have that working. Mostly.
I had to sideload 2 apks:
1. com.google.android.gm.exchange-6.5-1533254-500065-minAPI14.apk
2. EmailGoogle.apk
I'm reading these names out of my phone's Download directory - not sure where the links came from anymore - probably apkmirror or similar. The first one I listed is a different version of the Exchange service than came on the phone, and 2nd is a different version of the GMail app than we were getting.
Once those were loaded I could set up both my Gmail account and my work/exchange account to work from the same Gmail interface.
I get an ongoing Authentication Error status message. Exchange still works, but the message is an annoyance I have learned to ignore.
Good luck.

Yesterday i noticed that for some reason my Google account got unlinked from my Google Play Apps, so i couldn't use any of the Google related stuff. When i tried to re-link/login i got the message "There was a Problem communicating with the Google Servers - Try again later"
So i started scouring the Internet for fixes, of which there are a few but rarely are they applicable to FireOS and they basicly all boil down to "reboot, wipe cache, delete data, reinstall" and so on. Evantually i ended up doing a Factory reset but that made it only worse since now all my Apps are gone except for the ones from the Amazon Store which got saved in the recovery. I reinstalled the Google Play APKs and got again that same error message so i tried creating a new account which went kinda okay until it came to the final login, again that error, however once i closed the Google settings a pop-up offered me to login via Browser and that worked for whatever reason, so at least i got access to the Google Play Store again, but with no access to my App Library. Even more curious, occasionally Google picks up on my Login attempts and i get e-mails with "security warnings" about a new device. Using other devices i can login to Google just fine btw.
Currently i have 3 Theories as to what happened:
1. It just happened randomly, as it appearantly sometimes happens with Android if the Internet is to be believed.
2. A sneaky Update changed something and now the Google Login Auth on my Fire clashes with whatever updated, i assume that based on what is currently happening with the Amazon Netflix App and Google Play.
3. A few days ago i installed WhatsApp (sadly a necessity since it stopped supporting Windows Phone and there are People i need to communicate with via WA) and since Google Play stopped working "shortly" after i'm inclined to assume a correlation. Ironically WhatsApp doesn't work anymore after the reset, it now got connection problems too.
At this point i've pretty much tried all fixes, applicable to FireOS, i could find short of rooting the Fire and modifying the "hosts" file, though i looked at the File, using a root explorer, and it already contains what the Fix said it should contain, so i'm not sure if that would actually help.
I hope someone here has some more ideas on what i could try to get it working again, though i'm already getting used to the idea of having to Flash it in order to get Google Play working again. (kinda a feeling of excited dread and second-guessing the idea, so i'd prefer methods that aren't quite as invasive right now.)

Your Fire tablet have registered with Amazon account that causing all Google services. Try to deregister it and reset to .
Useful methods to install Google apps using Fire toolbox:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/development/official-amazon-fire-toolbox-v1-0-t3889604
Can you protect your Google account by adding phone number in Google account settings.
So i did another Factory Reset, i couldn't get around not login into my Amazon account but this time i skipped restoring the Back-up and it worked, I was able to login into my google account, though that might be because i did it via the GPlay Store which kinda looked like a Browser login, rather than via GPlay Services but it is solved regardless, at least for now. I'm going to keep an eye on it for a few days, but i hope the Problem is solved for good.
