[Q] HBO GO - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

I have been running HBO GO without issue until yesterday when I did the update. Now it say device is not supported. I am wondering if anyone else who is running cm7 also encountered this and is there a work around. I tried changing build prop to nexus s and still doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm seeing the same thing with the app. Using the web access works fine. I actually prefer the web interface. BTW the Max GO app upgrade broke also.

My Nook Tablet also crapped out on HBO to Go. I tried to revert back to version 1.0301 and it seems to work for everything until you try to sign in then you get the force close.
On my Viewsonic Gtab HBO to Go is running version 1.31111 and the video and audio is very choppy. I am really upset about this. My NT was my go to device for HBO!
Surprisingly my Samsung Galaxy Nexus, unrooted and running Ice cream 4.02 has version 1.41734 of HBO to Go now and instead of saying unsupported device, now runs HBO to G0 wonderfully!
What browser on your android device are you all using to get access to HBO to Go? I cant see to get to the sign in box....I am going crazy!

I use Dolphin Browser HD in desktop mode to access HBO GO. I logged on first via my FiOS account which automatically logged me into HBO GO. From then on the stored cookie logs me in directly.

Verizon FiOS is my "cable TV" provider and I subscribe to HBO and therefore get full HBO GO as part of the subscription. FiOS is fiber not "cable."

I recovered the prior apk for both HBO Go and Cinemax Go from my other NT -- moved them to the one that had been updated, installed and I'm back in business. My next task is to back up EVERY apk file to my PC so I can recover when apps break when they're updated.

What version is it? Can you post it here?

I am not sure if others have had issues with HBO Go since the May 4th update. I started getting the force close and was unable to sign in again. Well I am happy to report after finding an older version of the apk file on this very site - I am up and running again. It is the HBO Go 7 apk file.
Does anybody have an older version of the Max Go apk?
I hope this helps some of you.

I had the same issue. Install version 1.3 and it works fine using provider time warner

Can you provide a link to 1.3?

Yes, I was running a rooted Nook Tablet when I lost HBOgo as well. They updated the version of their apk which is what disabled it for us. I have the previous version on my phone but have not had time to grab it..I've decided to wipe and install CM7. So, as soon as I get to it I will post the old V 1.3.1 HBOgo apk for ya'll.
Sorry to make you wait!

hbogo v 1.3.1
Ok, all fixed to root root for now
Can anyone tell me how to host a link to get the apk available to you guys? Can't seem to paste a link using dropbox from my tablet....or Im doing it wrong! Dropbox newbie but pasteing has been an issue for me all along with this tablet...sometimes works using Opera (never via google) but not today!
Help me help you!

Hbo go on 2.3.4

So I use hbo go alot for my commute and just upgraded to nayvalants cherryrom 2.3.4. Hbo go doesn't show up on the market anymore, not compatible anymore, so I restored a backup from titanium. It works fine until I go to load a video and ut just keeps loading. Any ideas if its because of compatibility issues or is there someway to fix?

If it helps eliminate some theories:
I'm on OTA 2.3.4 , HBO Go not in market, but had it installed already previously. Plays videos fine.
Maybe try uninstalling and re-backing up ..
or it could be specific to nayvalants rom?
Some people have been reporting that apps are missing in the Market after flashing to 2.3.4.
Also, are either of you using the new leaked Market?
If so, this will cause data connection drops, and can show files as downloading for long periods before they time out.
If you are on the new Market, suggest you revert back by Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > select Market > select Uninstall Updates.

Regular market.
Its on Market version 3.0.26 which i assume is the new version since it has a completely new look to it. If it is the new one, its the one that came installed with the rom. What are you recommendations?
eh? do i have to install the old version of market? what version # is that?
cool man nice to see this

No, I'm on the old market version and HBO GO is not on there for me via 2.34 OTA. I have it from when I was 2.2.2
Not in the market for me, either. Ken's beta 4.5, AT&T. Didn't there used to be a market enabler somewhere? I'm betting AT&T blocks it.

is there a way to downgrade the market to the old version? the new market wont let me dl anything anymore, says there is not enough room on the device...
Not blocked just may not be 2.3.4 compatible

search online for the latest .apk youll find it and manually install it. still works HBO just needs to update their app but im guessing that wont happen till we get an official gingerbread release
anyone know where to get the old vending.apk? I can't find one.
I upgraded to nayvalant's 1.1 with the old market and HBO still doesn't show up in the market. I restored my backup of HBO and it still doesn't work. Guess it truly isn't compatible with 2.3.4
Works fine for me...

Doesn't show up in market for me, but I found a copy of 1.0301 online and installed it and it works great. ATT Atrix 2.3.4 (KP's version)

I posted it wasn't a matter of old vs new market. It doesn't show up at all.
It DOES work though, just doens't show up in market. Works perfectly fine on 2.3.4 so maybe it's a nayvalant thing where it doesn't play for you.
and the reason for not posting a link to the 1.03 version ?!?!
i hav 1.02 might be the reason.
not gonna share the link??

I don't have a link... but I flashed samcripp's ninja rom today and HBO GO shows up when I search in the market. It's either ninja rom or the HBO app updated to show up in 2.3.4 market. Try a search again.
Just installed ninja rom and HBO works and appeared in the market. Must just be something specific navalynt's rom. Thnx!

NOOK for Android by B&N apk 2.7.2.12 (download link here)

I live in Canada and the latest NOOK for Android apk is not available for us for download.
It would be greatly appreciated if someone could back up their version and post a copy here.
Thanks.
Nothin?

I won't be at my computer until the evening tomorrow but then I'll see what I can do.

Does it even work outside the states? I would figure if you can't get it in market then you might have some login problems. I might be wrong though

It works once you've set up a B&N account.
Not sure but some books may not be available to people outside the US. So far I haven't had a problem.
I have relatives in the US who have Nook Color's and Touch's so I can share books from their libraries.
thanks for uploading this. Yes, it works outside US.
Even though the app is horrible, slow and featureless , it uses the same page number as my nook so its my only option to avoid the pain of figure out page numbers between devices.
Can anyone search in the store I can when I click the serch button nothing happens

Market Enabler?
Can't you just fake your provider to Verizon or something using Market Enabler and then find it in the Market? That's what I do.
giant_rider,
How did you manage to install the apk?
I copied it to an SD card and also copied it to an internal folder.
Both times when I tried to run it, I got a parse error.
Same thing happened with another ereader I attempted to run.
MickeyBear, I downloaded the file using Opera Mini and has the same file corruption problem. It works when I re-download on the desktop and uploaded to my Dropbox.
Does anyone have this issue with the newest version (3.0.1) of the Nook app crashing when you try to open a magazine or a book?
I'm running CM 7.1 Final.

Thanks! It downloaded and installed fine, but when I launch it, it just goes back to my home screen. Maybe it isn't intended to work on a stock rooted NOOK... Bummer! Thought it might be a way to get access to my BN subscriptions until the issues with downloads from BN Shop and Market are resolved. Oh, well! Thanks for the quick response!
Switching to Kindle for Android is perhaps the best solution if you want to buy e-books, but magazines like The New Yorker display great on the plain Nook with 1.4.1. I would buy some stuff from B&N, but if I can't install third party apps I prefer to go with another rom from SD and without the B&N reader for Android. Bye bye NOOK-Book-eBook-store...

Amazon Video APK

The Amazon Instant Video APK has been pulled from the Kindle Fire and can be installed on the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
A couple of caveats:
(1) To use the Prime Instant video features, you must first purchase something to login. There is no separate login otherwise.
(2) It appears to only work over wifi
(3) If your device is rooted, it will not work.

Umm...for the simple fact that you can use Voodoo OTA temp unroot from the Market. Also the new version of this APK in todays 6.2 update doesnt work. It says this device is not suppose to be able to run Amazon Video Player.
I assume Amazon is cracking down...

Never heard of temp unroot, thanks, but yeah, as of late, amazon released a fire update, ruining everyones root on the fire and deleting the market. Probably part of that updated.
Pr0tip: This works on Gingerbread but not on HoneyComb.
Bunch of hypocrites, they sell root only apps
http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/some_amazon_appstore_apps_require_rooting_att_need_not_apply/
installs and runs great on hp touchpad. however on purchase and login i get the following: Error linking device: Unknown error
What do you mean it runs great? I get to the point of seeing the button to play the video, but it is grayed out. I can play Amazon videos fine on my Exhibit II by temporarily unrooting the stock OS. It seems Cyanogenmod is somehow detected, because it doesn't work on my Nook Color with the Cyanogenmod either.

whoever wrote this article obviously has never had the balls to root a device and actually see what is possible, or even research it for that matter
I have the apk that allows me to play the videos for free that come with the amazon prime account (I signed up for a free month), but I don't see how to 'borrow' a book for free - this also comes with the prime account on kindle devices. Anyone have any information on how to do this on a Galaxy Tab?
Only Kindle devices can borrow books for free with the Prime membership. (you borrow directly from the device)
Two things. One KFHD looks for the device to be logged into amazon, I bet this requires framework not on our devices. Two, probably crashes when trying to view due to same.
Bottom line? Besides logcats to figure things out, I'm pretty sure a system dump will be needed to get the correct files to go with this......

You don't need to temp in root either. There's an xposed module called root cloak that let's you pick specific apps to hide root from. Works great

Hbo on Nook Tablet

I was able to side load Hbo on the nook tab and kindle fire but cant get it to work on the nook! It works great on the fire! Any ideas how how to get it to work?
What does "can't get it to work" mean? Does it give an error? Does it not install?...
Edit: Just fired up HBO go, it starts to play then hangs with black screen and "HBO GO" logo in the center.

why no hbogo
Apparently the problem lies in the stock browser on the Nook Tablet...you can't sign in through this (or other NT available ) browser(s). For example you can't sign in using the Dolphin browser either. I have not rooted yet but have hopes once I do I can get in through opera mini or some other browser as I understand the Hbogo market app hangs on the tablet. Hope this helps...anyone rooted and tried other browsers or does the market app work when rooted as opposed to side loaded?
Got a rooted Nook with a Droid3 build prop and the HBO Go app from the market works great.

Hmm. Well, I've found that some apps just don't work all that well on the version of Android that comes with the Nook Tablet. I've been running a super-early alpha of CyanogenMod 7 for a while though and some apps that never worked on the stock OS work just fine now.
If you're willing to flash CyanogenMod 7 to your Nook Tablet, there's a ROM/Release that's very likely coming next week (you can read a bit about it in the development forum). Right now there's nothing available, but what's coming is looking very promising. You also wouldn't have to sideload it in CM7 - you'd be able to install direct from the Android Market.
I have my build.prop set to nexus s and HBO Go works flawless. I think you need to mod your build prop for it to work.

ICS+ Browser with Full desktop mode on.
I had the same issue in The Netherlands. I installed HBO GO on our POV Mobii, backed up the apk and installed in on my Prime. Worked like a charm. About a week ago the app itself was updated in the Google Play Store and now it is compatible with the Prime. Mind you: HBO GO has a dedicated app for The Netherlands.
Any way to record HBO go on my TFP to play when I don't have wifi?
Thanks

HBO Go was just updated to support all ICS Tablets up to 4.0.4
