Edit ---- 10\12\11 new update to HBO go app, still no video, more important new update is requesting super user permissions when started up - don't know why and I recommend not allowing it super user permission until you know why and are sure it won't cause a problem.
--- below is the original post ---
Hbo go app only plays audio no video on att gs2. If you like this app a much a I do please consider contacting the developer and request a fix for our phone.

Word. I've already left a review on the marketplace noting that it needed to be fixed. I'm pretty sure they will do an update soon when more and more people start complaining.
I sent an email through the market. Now I have switched to CM7 and just tried out HBO GO and it works flawlessly. Glad to have it back.

Theres an update out today. Still no video

I also just updated and also still no video.
More importantly I noticed that the hbo go app is now asking for super user permission (root permission) - will not affect anyone who has not rooted their phone. I have denied the permission request but I am wondering why it its even asking for it in the first place.
For anyone not sure what to do if you come across this never allow an app super user permissions (root permissions) if you don't know what it is doing.

I also updated today and decided to try out the app. I just said deny to root permissions. Then the app opened up and played fine. I am on CM7 though and audio and video worked from the get go, but the brief time I was on stock it did not work. There also is another thread about this.

I did the uninstall and re-install with no results. I even cleared the HBOgo App history and that didnt help.
It works on cm7

This is probably going to have to be reported to the developer to be fixed...
Is there a way to get it to work on UnNamed Rom or does it only works on CM7?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
I just flashed unnamed ROM this afternoon and HBO go is working. The version of HBO go I have working is 1.2.1.
Also, I am no longer getting su request from the app.
I'm interested to know if anyone still running stock can tell if it will work stock, or if it is just custom ROMs are fixing
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
Thanks I updated to 1.3 version of UnNamed Rom and it works a charm.
uverse
I had the same problem of audio no video and now it just denies uverse customers access.think I'll be flashing again soon.
HBO go fixed!
I'm still running stock and the latest version of hbo go is now working 100%.
Edit: after update to hbogo I watched a few movies and shows but after trying to watch boardwalk the app crashed and phone rebooted now no video again. Not sure why?? ?
Edit; so after the crash and no video again I went to settings and cleared data for hbogo app. Tried the app and video is now working for me again. Possibly a temp fix until a update for this app.
Working Now
I was having the same issue as everyone else, audio without video. I updated, got the SU request, accepted and no change. I saw a reply about clearing the data. I went to view the app first and now it's working. I haven't done anything other than run the app. Also working now are SHO and MAX. I have no explanation but I'm happy about it! Running Entropys stock/root/cwm.

I would recommend in the future to not give su permissions to apps when not knowing why they are asking for them - unless you some how know what HBO go was up to.
I did not know and refused it su permissions back when I got the update that asked for them.
Rooting your Android phone in and of itself will not make your phone more vulnerable to malicious software, but granting su permissions to a rogue app will.
If I were you I would open your super user app and remove to su permissions you have to HBO go - especially since there is no reason for it to have it.
Be very cautious and stingy with su permissions and it will go a long way in helping protect from malicious software.

Here is the NETFLIX apk. I tried it and I got stuck in the now loading screen. Maybe you'll have better luck. Let me know how it goes...
Using Preludedrew's Stock ROM and Dread 7us' Honeycomb Theme with BC's 1.5 Kernel...(max 1.267 min 768 ondemand)
place it on your SD card and use a file manager to download the apk.
*EDIT* here is the latest build (1.3) works well on CM7.
Lol I downloaded and was hoping not to have to pay for it..like just to watch their online crap movies but eh I'm not signing up for it cause I d/l movies :\ but install went well

Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk
Yeah, it won't stream video yet. Some other threads are saying that the app is checking for hardware version and/or DRM rights and failing when the phones don't pass. Seems there's a thread for this in every phone's forum and they're all having the same results. I'm betting that our talented community will figure it out though

Anyone have success yet with the Netflix apk file for the HTC EVO Shift 4G streaming media?
My boyfriend's EVO has it up and running, but my EVO Shift still won't stream anything.
This is an old build. A current one is available somewhere in the forums. Go download that one...
Try and do a search.
The is another posting that has 1.2 and there is a link to dl a fix so u can watch on most sense I'm running mikshift-G and with the fix it works also works on nightly cm with out a fix
The app that is included on the New release of the mik ROM, works without the need of the patch. Been using it for the past three days.

Well here is the latest NETFLIX APP (1.3) which I'm sure is available everywhere. Figured to skip the searching and post it. Tried it on my SPEEDY and works pretty well. No need for patches, just install straight up.
I am running CM7 nightly135, with Pershoot's V1 Kernel (245/1.6 smartass)
Haven't tried it with the latest Sense Roms but I'm sure it's no problem.

Just dl'ed v1.3 from the link above and installed via adb push. App loads up fine and logs in perfectly well. All features seem intact until I try to view a video. Phone slides into Landscape mode, Netflix looks like it is buffering, then a small window pops up saying that it is having trouble connecting to the netflix site. Same result on every movie. Can't even get audio. Otherwise, the app works great. Seems to me that Netflix is a step ahead here.
Using Sprint's newest 2.3.3 temp-rooted, btw.
Juts tried my netflix app, I am using strapped rom and the app comes with the Rom, and it worked fine.

I downloaded 1.4 from market, but when I try to watch anything it tries to load then just reloads the home screen over and over. I'm using sparksco rockmod 2.3.5 rc1 with pershot kernel. I had 1.3 working fine on mik but had to flash some patch in recovery. Any ideas folks?

1.4 is updated to work on any 2.2 & 2.3 device, the patch shouldn't be necessary anymore. Possible any remnants of it are hanging about?

Uninstalled, reinstalled, wiped cache, wiped davlik cache, even wiped my ass... app still behaves the same, I can login, but when I try to watch anything it just loops back to the menu. I'm gonna try some backups and test w. And w.o kernals and on different roms.
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium
I can verify it works on cm7, shift deck, & cyclonic roms. Haven't had problems with any kernels specific to netflix.
Might be worth an ruu back to stock, clear out any accrued crud that the normal wipes doesn't cure. I have had to do that once or twice for various issues.
Good luck.

Very sure I am rooted ( Ti Backup works just fine and I can use su in terminal). I have even uninstalled adfree and reinstalled with no luck. Hell, I even tried replacing the hosts file manually with a list that's kicking around on the forums. Still nothing. Just for ****s and giggles, I am re-downloading it right now. Its been a few weeks, maybe it'll work
No dice. Symlink is unchecked. Cleaning the cache now and will try again.
edit: still no luck. To be honest, its only my weathereye app that I'd really like to see the ads disappear from. I'd like to tear apart the apk and find the source of the problem, but I have never attempted something like that !
Guys I badly need help with this!
For those that got this to work what did you use? (Which Root method, and anything special done inside the app? I do have Symlink unchecked)
Specifically any Bell Users, how did you guys get this working? HELP!...

I'm completely rooted, and have done this exactly like I have on my Milestone and SGS.
Is there a way to get this going manually, since this app doesn't appear to work on the (Bell) Atrix?... Thanks!
Didn't you already post this in another thread ??
It's weird, when I installed GreyBlur when I first got my phone, the adblocking built in to it worked and I never saw any ads anywhere (It does the same thing as adFree I believe, so it's comparable...) but then a little later I reverted to a backup for some reason, so no adblocking naturally. And when I installed GB3.5 (now I'm on 4.5) I haven't been able to block ads at all since, either with just GB or with AdFree.
Until yesterday ADFREE was blocking all ads. After the upgrade stopped. The ads are appearing as if nothing block then.
This occurs in both wifi and 3G (Tim - Brazil)
Any solution ?
Tks !!
Edit:
I managed to make it work:
- Uninstall, reboot and install again
- Clear data from applications that have ads
- Restart if necessary
work that way here.

Hey this is my first post and I'm kinda new. I don't know if this question has been asked but i haven't seen it in the two weeks I've been on. But the YouTube app does not work for me I always get an error that says the video cannot be played tap to retry. Now I've heard of this problem thing is it almost never worked (probably 80%) in the browser. Very rarely can I use YouTube at all on my phone. Can anyone tell me what the solution is?

Mine does this all the time a few tap to retry's usually does it.
If not clear the app cache and data.
Go to:
Menu
Settings
Applications
Manage applications
All
Youtube
Then open youtube and log back in. This usually fixes apps that seem to have gone nuts, good luck!
If your rooted, uninstall the apk with titanium and reinstall it.
Also check for the update on the market, that's all I usually have to do with customers' phones at the store.

Make sure that your flash player is up to date, too. Now that we have root, if your have done so, it would be easy to remove the app through Titanium Backup, as well.

Mine is jacked up too. Youtube app won't work in 3g but works fine in 4g and wifi. But if I go to the browser to youtube website, it works fine in 3g. So I believe it's the app. Youtube app on this phone is 2.1.7 on the market it's 2.1.6. I believe we just have a buggy new app that was made specifically for the 3d capabilities.
So the fix I think I found ,sorry it has been so long, is if you remove the routing using the msl rout to speed up your data then YouTube magically decides it likes you again.
boom!! from my shooter
mine does that occasionally but almost everytime i get that error 80 whatever it is and then i have to retry loading the page.
I never get an error number mine says disconnected from the server tap to retry
boom!! from my shooter
WTF. This application blows. I keep getting connection to server lost. Videos will only play over Wifi and not 3G or 4G. Has anyone figured this out?
There is a new update to the HBO go app - still does not play video on our phone - but more importantly the new update is requesting super user permissions!
Not sure why yet, just want to pass out heads up and for anyone noob who has rooted who does not fully understand what that means in LINUX just warn
Don't allow anything or any app super user permission (root permission) if you don't know what it is doing!

Looks like its not just our device from the reviews...
there are 2 apps... one for tablets and one for phones. I have the one for tablets on my rooted nexus 7 and it keeps FC'ing. It runs just fine on my wife's UNROOTED nexus 7 (so it looks like I'll be using my wife's N7 on gamedays).
I emailed directv about the app not working on my nexus 7 ( I didn't say it was rooted) and here was their response:
"Thank you for writing. Your email has been forwarded to me for special handling and I am happy to assist you today.
I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing technical difficulties when trying to access the NFL SUNDAY TICKET application from your Nexus 7 tablet. I would like to begin by assuring you that this is a very unusual situation as most of our customer with Android devices do not seem to experience issues when trying to access this content. Please understand, the NFL SUNDAY TICKET mobile application does not support "rooted" or "jail broken" Android devices. I am not sure if your Android device falls into this category, however, I wanted to inform you of this just in case. With "rooted" or "jailbroken" devies, users may experience frozen video or frequent app crash.
Another possible cause to this issue may be an issue with your Wi-Fi router settings. Android devices access video streams using the UDP protocol. By default, some Wi-Fi routers are configured to block video streams that are using UDP protocol. Please note, you can change your router settings to allow UDP protocol streams, or you can disable Wi-Fi access on their Android device and rely on a cellular network connection. If you are still experiencing issues with your NFL SUNDAY TICKET mobile application, please give our Technical Support department a call for further assistance. Our Technical Support department can be reached 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 1-800-531-5000.

hey guys I just tried something and would like some feedback from others to see if it works. I have SuperSu from chainfire and he has an option to Disable Superuser. It seems like when I do that I have no issues with Sunday ticket for tablet. I would suggest maybe someone gives that a try and see how it goes. Quite honestly I prefer his superuser over the original anyways but thats just me and this makes it even better
I had been having the same issue with Sunday ticket app. Disabled super user. now the app no longer force closes. Thanks for the info
