These are two things I could never do on my vibrant, so I'm always taking my wifes iphone to do to do them. Will the s2 be capable of this. Dont want an iphone but these are pretty big for me.
My galaxy s could open pdf just fine using think free office, (which came pre installed from samsung) but was also freely available in the market.
The sgs2 comes with polaris office, which works just as well.
Hmmm my problem was emails mostly, I could never open the attachments, does it work for that
Automatically, I click on preview attachment button, it downloads it and then up pops think free to view the attachment.

you click the attachment, it downloads and opens with your pdf viewing app. You can do that with any android phone that supports to app to my knowledge
No Netflix I'm afraid and I doubt it'll be coming any time soon as Qualcomm have it as an exclusive for their snapdragon handsets which is allegedly because of DRM.

why would netflix do that.. right now the only thing stopping me from getting a netflix account is that i cant use it on my phone..isnt there some sort of port for it to work on regular phones?
Adobe reader works just fine for PDF files. and its free. Download from the market place.

This was working a while back but Netflix put a stop to it. The EVO is also a Snapdragon phone.

So, Hulu Plus has been released to specific devices...not including ours.
The APK has been posted here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136634&page=3 ), except that on launch, it notifies us that video playback isn't supported on the device.
Can someone rooted test this out with their build.prop modified to one of the supported devices (see build.prop info here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13952218&postcount=722 ), or can someone more knowledable with APK hacking disable the device checking?
Here are directions to modify the Hulu plus build prop more specifically ...
http://channelandroid.com/2011/06/2...on-an-unsupported-device-needs-root/#comments
Although it looks like it won't work universally.
Looking for this to work as well if anyone could please make it happen I would appreciate it. Thanks!
count me in
this should finalize my transition from ipad to the galaxy tab
Bump for attention.
Great big whopping fail
Changing the build.prop kills the samsung services including the keyboard and several widgets.
and oh yeah, it doesn't get us hulu either.
I tried the solution posted at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182668&highlight=hulu+plus
for the Droid Incredible 2 on my g-tab 8.9, and it works perfectly--EXCEPT that the video is cell-phone-size, takes up about a quarter of the tab's screen. Maybe starting with that, someone could figure out how make it the right size?
Just watch hulu from the browser with the modified flash player. I have been doing that for months now.

hulu plus?
this method described on this thread doesn't work for hulu plus? I don't see why you even need an app to run hulu plus if your account is hulu plus fied when you logged in.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131417&highlight=hulu&page=23
Let me know if this works. I don't use hulu plus since I don't watch enough hulu to purchase it right now. how ever I see no reason why this wont work for you guys
Come here for the Modded apk that works on any device. Does not require root or messing with any other files. Just install the regular way and off you go.

Hello all,
I have searched all the forum and also installed more than 10 different Netflix versions, but apparently none of them seems to work with the Sony S Tablet...
Does someone have installed and is currently running Netflix on the Sony S Tablet?
Thanks for help!
I want to install netflix as well.... but I cant
They install but video does not start. The only hope is Netflix app fix or rooting the device to add the required video library. Hope it helps

You can watch Netflix (and Hulu) through PlayOn Mobile while you wait.
I have not tried it on tablet but find playon so slow to browse on everything and missing search. Maybe i shall give it another shot. Do they provide a free version allowing netflix or hulu? Thanks

Just tested on my Sony tab...no luck. The app launches, does everything it is supposed to other than stream video. When I try to watch a video, I get the can't connect to servers error (120001 or something like that).

Doesn't matter, cancelling my account after the rate hikes. Lets hope that Sony's video unlimited can compete.
Getting the same issue. Just got rid of my Dell Streak 7 which had Netflix working. I guess I'll just have to get my Netlix fix through my iphone until the app becomes available.
Is Netflix trying to put themselves out of business?
actually there is already a Netflix app working for the sony tablet.. it is just going through the corporate bullsh*ts for approvals.. if only they could leak the apk.. lol.. pretty sure it will be out soon..

Surely someone knows how to view HULU from the Tab? I saw the apk for Plus users... what about those who are not plus users?
What are you doing to watch on your Tab?
Seems crazy to me....
EDIT.....
Thanks to the below two posts I did some searching and found the DroidLu developer came out with this app:
FLASH VIDEO BROWSER
Testing it out soon....
I use PlayOn as my workaround...good luck with your search.

PlayOn seems interesting... is it worth the $50 fee for life? It is basically just a server so my ps3 and phone could see what the computer is playing right?

Better off with splashtop as it allows you more control of your home pc so you watch hulu, watch movies stored on your pc and also play some of your pc games...remotely
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
That is encouraging to hear... I got Splashtop when it was the free app on Amazon... never even opened or installed it. I will explore that tonight.
The app I put in the OP works.... you can see Hulu... but it is not prime time. Lots of hiccups.
Looks like flash browser was updated. Supports ics. Still doesn't play well with cm.
I originally found this on the N7000 forum.
If you have seen the ability to watch a video while doing another task for the Samsung Galaxy 3, then this is it.
Pretty much the same deal. Works well with the Note i717.
I am running the Hybrid ROM in Tablet mode and this app works great.
You can find this app in the Play Store. Here's a demo vid - copied link from app description.

The split screen ability in the Note 10.1 would be another great feature to have now...
Great find

Its an awesome app.
Btw, this app already comes pre-installed in the HYFR B4 ROM.
Is it safe for an app to collect a device's imei to their server? The EULA claims that it is used to verify the device. It is in the privacy policy.
thats similar to stickit..i have used for a while now.. idk which one is better though

OK all, while this app seams to have everything I would want it has one major thing I don't want LAG. just wondering is it doing this to everyone or just me? What I mean is this, when it plays a video it plays about 2 sec then buffers, but in the youtube app the same video will play with no issues. I am useinf the free version and have un installed and re installed it already. Also I am getting throttled speeds on ATT however as I have said youtube works just fine. Any ideas?

I haven't experienced any lag as of yet. Both on Flapjaxxx's UCLE2 and CM9.
@spade1031
No lag here and I'm still on FJ's GB ROM.
With more use I've noticed it seems to be only YouTube and only.the hd videos, any other site with hd works fine and the YouTube app with hd works fine. Might just be that I'm throttled, I'll post back after my new bill cycle and update. Just asking is anyone else throttled and working right? By the way I'm only getting hspa+ in my area. But still a GREAT app for anyone, thanks again for sharing.

Been playing with this for a couple days, pretty cool, no real issues to report on paranoid android.
Full screen low framerate
App: Supervideo (HW Decode)
I am experiencing low frame rate when switching to full screen. When the video is floating, it's perfectly fine.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
App: MX Player (Free)
Full screen is perfectly fine.
Sorry if this has already been discussed, but does anyone know why i can't use the NBC Olympics app on the Prime?
What does Google tell you?

I understand that it says that the Prime is an unsupported device. But it seems like those problems shouldn't exist with a device this old and on ICS. Which is much more widely adopted now.
I downloaded it to my galaxy nexus and then sideloaded it on the prime and it works fine.

Apologies, this is the updated link. They were both on my dropbox.
Downloaded our apk. Installed no problems. The problem I'm having is the video and sound is in slow motion. It starts out fine then slows down. Anyone else experienceing this?
From another thread, they said to press the home button and use the app switcher button to switch back to the Live Extra app to get rid of the slow-mo bug.
It worked for me at least.
Home button trick works great!
