Google Play Movies HD - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps

Anyone noticing issue's with HD play back on this tablet? I usually had an HD button to select for my HD movies and I can not find it on this new Device.
Curious if anyone else shares my experience or found a solution. Thanks!

[Edit] Strangely it seems to only be some movies and shows. I can go back on my Note 2 and check download sizes and this tablet is definitely getting marked as a non HD device on movies like Hangover 3, but my North America documentary will be in HD on the Tablet. Some reason different films are detecting the device differently. Going to try some more films.
[Edit 2] Now I am getting random messages that it can not fetch the license any more. Error 806
This is happening on movies that did work earlier on the device.
[Last Edit for reals] Did more digging around, for a vast majority of movies and shows on Google Play, this tablet is listed as either incompatible, or can not stream HD. Obviously this is wrong and Google will need to update their app. I've sent Google feedback on this, hopefully getting a response on when our HD tablets can actually play Googles HD movies.
Movies from the Samsung HUB do work as advertised. I've only found 720p however and those are pretty small in numbers.

Today there was an update along with the Play Store I believe and that has fixed everything. Our tablets are recognized as HD and all my license issues have been fixed.
If anyone hasn't gotten the update yet, be sure to restart your tablets to try and force the update.

just to clarify, this is a system update, or a play store app update??

It was a play store auto update. Not an OTA. We won't actually get notified it happened. The Play Store will have a menu that appears when you gesture right or press the top left icon. Once I got that the Movies & TV app worked perfect for this Tablet.

thats the new version of the play store, 4.4.21. I have that already, but my tablet still says that hd playback is not available on this device perhaps there is something else im missing?

Well all my HD movies I own will play back in HD now, with the red HD button besides the CC button. I just checked some new Releases movies and those do indeed say my Tablet is not supported for HD during the Checkout process.
But I do have new movies like The Internship and The Conjuring that play HD correctly.
I'm not sure why checkout still says our Tablets do not support HD on some films, but play HD just fine when played from My Movies.
2.7.15 is my current Movies & TV app

ok, I dont actually own any movies or rentals for the Play Store yet (I was going to spend some of the Play Store credit I just got on some) so i cant really test that. But I appreciate the input.

Not a problem! Good luck if you do buy some, I hope they play in HD for you.

Now today, my movies again refuse to play HD even though I have HD versions downloaded to the tablet. I'm just going on a limb saying that this is all some weird temperament glitch in Google's movie system. Some days it has HD, some not. Some days it can't get my license for the tablet but can for everything else, some days it does.
From everything I been able to see this is mostly on Google's end. Going off the facts that success is random.

Anyone hear anything else about this? Can't play any of my own movies on Google Play. Don't even have the HD option. YouTube doesn't even play in full hd, even thought the HQ button is clicked. Annoyed as hell..
Sent from my Big 10 inch..

Also having this issue. I have 7 HD Play Movies, not one plays streams or downloads in HD. Oddly, I have a TV series from the Play Store that plays in HD, although it's 720p. Perhaps there's an issue with 1080p content. YouTube also looks rubbish on my device. I did buy my 10.1 from the US, so I did think the issue was some kind of regional DRM problem; now I'm not so sure. I contacted Google who said the 10.1 2014 is fully supported their end, and that I should contact Samsung.

Its still been very odd and random. I been trying to complain to both Samsung and Google Play. Both insist its the fault of the other guy. Or that its some how my error with my internet bandwidth.
I am certain though its Googles fault as I have been able to get everything to randomly play HD and even start downloading HD before. Its rare, but HD does stream at times.
I've noticed that my Note 3 also will play SD instead of HD now as well. Its very annoying. I almost want to just get movies directly from Samsung now since those play HD fine. Their selection is just horrible though.

Just received this email back from Google.

What would possibly prevent our tablet from being compatible? Someone dropped the ball on this one..
Sent from my Big 10 inch..

Looking at the list of compatible devices in the link they provided, the 2014 edition is listed, so I'm not sure why they sent you that response.

As I type this, both my 2014 Note and Note 3 are playing and downloading HD. Perhaps a new update came out? Or it was internal with Google's server's as we thought.

Mine is also now working out of nowhere. Full HD in Google Play Movies and YouTube.

My video quality is still not full HD on YouTube. Can't comment on Play Movies as I don't use it.

Hulu + not compatible with Prime?

Tells me I cannot run it even after updating firmware anyone able to get Hulu + to work with the Prime if not anyone know if it will work anytime soon?
Try installing this "Flash Video Browser" from the Android Market Place. It specifically states HULU support! Let us know if it works, as I have not yet received my Prime!!!

No, it should not work....its not supported right now
Here is a solution for you. It's called droidlu at market. It will allow you to watch hulu through this app. The link below and no root required. This currently is the only way that I found to be able to get my Hulu fix. Must have latest adobe flash player installed for it to work. It costs 0.99 worth it imho.

How? What have you done differently for this to work? It says Unsupported when I click on Hulu plus app. Also I noticed when you clicked on the app it doesn't show the hulu logo at all it took you straight to videos.

Im starting to think his was running from a web based browser vs the actual app because as he said he is not a paid subscriber I think that's whats happening here.
Nope, got mines from gamestop and if you look to the right or my weather app i'm from chi-town = chicago. I'm on a stock non rooted asus tf201.
And it isn't a browser base hulu plus in my last video you saw me started the app.
Here's another video...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSkwK8WTEco&feature=youtu.be
Yes I don't have a paid account but why would it work only with non paying account and not hulu+ account you tell me?
P.S towards the end it wasn't my touch screen fault lol my finger wasn't even on the screen. It's kinda hard trying to move the bar when my eyes are focus on the camera.

The logo did pop up the first time i ran it but after that it doesn't anymore. Honestly if i had the knowledge to create an app to run hulu or somehow got hulu to work on the browser i'll probably put it on market for $0.99 to make some money outta it instead of tricking people on xda for fun.

When you go to the Market on a PC, what does it show your tablet listed as? Because as a non-supported device Hulu shouldn't show up at all in the Market on the Prime and via a PC it should show up but not let you download because your device will be greyed out. Hulu runs two checks before it'll play a video: 1) the build.prop reflects a supported device, and 2) it checks for Android and says "your device is not supported" if it's detected. So if yours is the only one in existence that can run Hulu I'd guess you have a unique build.prop.
To please the people who are questioning whether what you're saying is true, you can post a screenshot of the Market on your PC showing Hulu as an installed app.

[off topic] Google Play: Worst name Ever!

Google is coming up with some meaningless product names. Google+ is ok, it is signifying the augmentation of the whole Google experience. But, Google Wave? What is so wavy? Google Play??
How is the market a play thing? How does Google Play Music , Google Play Books make sense? Well, Google Play Music sorta makes sense... But why Play? Aiming at Playstation-esque name or Apple's Gamecenter?
Agreed 100%
Play as in Playing a movie is a nice idea but because of the other definition... Wow. Please Google, correct this fast! Please some up with another word!

Edit: I believe it's a Google is everything idea...Google can Play all...maybe a haha to Apple
Sticks and stones will hurt my bones, BUT names will never hurt me...I dint look at names, just icons or widgets, do you?
This isn't my DX2
Wave was from Firefly, thee best sifi show ever made!
In the show, they used "waves" to communicate with people across the verse. If you look, you can find things like "not to fret, everything's shiny captain!" I guess one of the devs who worked on wave was a fan
But renaming the market and stuff is kind of bad. If Google wants to make fun of apple, they should just make a free game where you are an android and you have to eat apples and have links and pics to the game all over Google products

The new name is kind of odd but I do like the new market logo. I use a few of Google's apps regularly and everything has improved. Google Music ACTUALLY syncs the new music you add to iTunes the moment you add it. Earth used to do this weird thing to me where it would go to street view, then immediately zoom back out. My mom uses Books and she is saying good things about it. Im not really digging the Music logo but hey, its just a logo.
Anyone think Motorola will put out an update to fix the blur market icons that no longer work?

I don't think mine has been updated yet. I hear it will be updated over the next couple days though. I tried deleting the data in the application settings and restarting the app but my app still says "market". It had me accept the terms and all that when I started the app and it did say Google play though. Im running cm7 so I don't have to worry about the update messing up the blur launcher.

Maybe it will be a good thing. I mean if Motorola has to do an OTA to fix their broken links in blur maybe they will take the time to fix.other bugs and give us an official 2.3.5 update? You never know!

The English teacher in me is coming out, so prepare for the dorkiness. I believe Google is using the term "play" in regards to its definition of "employ oneself in diversion, amusement, or recreation." In which case, Google Play makes absolute sense. I am going to employ in the amusement of apps, music, books, movies, etc. To me, it makes more sense than iTunes. Tunes refers to music. So by definition of name, it doesn't make sense for iTunes to have movies, books, or anything non-music related.

Google play music is pure crap! Do not buy music! You don't get to play your music which you paid for and downloaded on any other app and you don't get a downloaded music file to do with what you wish. It's all just stored cache. Apple giving them pointers or something? This is gay!

Adobe Flash embedded videos not working on 4.0.4 - Fix using Nexus Files ?

Hi everyone,
as everyone knows Adobe is dropping support for Flash on Android.
Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) will NOT support Flash.
BUT Adobe is still supporting Flash for Android up to 4.0.X.
So far in theory. BUT embedded Flash Videos don't work with our Razr and every ICS Version (Leaked or not).
While Flash Menues work fine embedded Videos don't.
Test it for yourself on this sites (to prevent comments like: uhm, but its working for me):
southparkstudios.com / southpark.de --> Episodes
divshare.com
ESPN.com
ect.
Everything flash-based worked with GB 2.3.6.
Everything works on other Devices with 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 (At least the ones i know, like Galaxy SII SIII, Nexus, Odys Tablets ect.).
So it has to be some Moto/Razr bug. Especially since the Nexus shares the same CPU/GPU as the Motorola and their flash works perfect (tested myself with 4.0.4).
So i think its some hardware accelleration thinggy. Maybe someone could fix this or help me/us by sending mails & bugreports to Moto and to Adobe.
Thanks.
I have the same problem on my DROID 4 on the ICS leak

Just installed JB on my xoom. Flash works fine. And no I did not go to a F'in site that is backed up by html5. I know everyone is crying about espn.com. yea its weird it doesn't work on the razr. But I can assure you it works on my tab
same here.
it wont work on Chrome, but it's very very flakey on Firefox. and barely works in default browser.
yes, I have Flash installed.
update: and by flakey, i mean ur right. menu works. but videos doesn't. just tested on watch.ctv.ca and espn.com. (the ads works though...)
update: for ESPN.com, in Chrome, clicking on the video link of the mobile version of the site will redirect it to my MX Player, which then works fine...
update: yeah ive googled it. its a known issue. flash videos doesnt work with ICS, no matter what u do. and according to adobe, they only support RAZR up to 2.3 - http://www.adobe.com/devnet-apps/flashruntimes/certified-devices.html

update: yeah ive googled it. its a known issue. flash videos doesnt work with ICS, no matter what u do. and according to adobe, they only support RAZR up to 2.3 - http://www.adobe.com/devnet-apps/flashruntimes/certified-devices.html
ah damnit my phone feels like an iphone now.............

Hi everyone,
as everyone knows Adobe is dropping support for Flash on Android.
Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) will NOT support Flash.
BUT Adobe is still supporting Flash for Android up to 4.0.X.
So far in theory. BUT embedded Flash Videos don't work with our Razr and every ICS Version (Leaked or not).
While Flash Menues work fine embedded Videos don't.
Test it for yourself on this sites (to prevent comments like: uhm, but its working for me):
southparkstudios.com / southpark.de --> Episodes
divshare.com
ESPN.com
ect.
Everything flash-based worked with GB 2.3.6.
Everything works on other Devices with 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 (At least the ones i know, like Galaxy SII SIII, Nexus, Odys Tablets ect.).
So it has to be some Moto/Razr bug. Especially since the Nexus shares the same CPU/GPU as the Motorola and their flash works perfect (tested myself with 4.0.4).
So i think its some hardware accelleration thinggy. Maybe someone could fix this or help me/us by sending mails & bugreports to Moto and to Adobe.
Thanks.

After downloading the update, I had to re-install Flash. Have you tried this?
Flash works flawlessly on Chinese ics, but not eu based

I can't use flash on eu ics based too. It wouldn't play on any browser (chrome, default browser, dolphin) that I have
This has worked for some people.
Uninstall flash.
Reboot.
Install flash.
Install adobe air.
Reboot again.

Not sure about you guys but flash is still working fine for me even on jelly bean. you have to install the apk manually and then use a browser such as dolphin to view flash content. Screenshot taken with my nexus 7 and the same animation plays if i use my RAZR as well.

Media Link not streaming Hulu?

On trying to stream Hulu video content from my HTC One to the media link, I'm greeted with an error claiming my video is unable to play. However, Youtube runs fine and when I disconnect the Media Link, Hulu streams without a hitch on the phone itself.
Is anyone else encountering this problem? Can you run Hulu without any issues? Any help would be appreciated!

Can anyone at least confirm that it's working on their device. It'll allow me to figure it's a personal problem or a widespread issue.

[EASY MOD] Get Access to more Games straight from the PlayStore

Hello Everyone,
Since our S4s use a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, you will not be able to find games/apps that are specific to each device, such as phones that use the NVIDIA Tegra processor.
This Mod will allow you to find, buy and install games from the Play Store that normally wouldn't be available for users using a stock S4 ROM.
Also, this was not discovered by me - I just found this on some sites and thought I should share the info :silly:
Disclaimer: As always, I am not responsible for any damages this may cause to your device. Proceed at own risk.
This works by fooling the Play Store into thinking you're using a different device.
INSTRUCTIONS
Get Root Access.
. Using a program such as Root Explorer, work your way to the following folder:
Code:
[B]/system[/B]
Make sure you have Read and Write Access (do this by hitting the "Mount R/W" button at the top in Root Explorer)
Long press "build.prop" and hit "Open in Text Editor"
Locate the line where it says:
Code:
[B]ro.product.device=**********[/B]
Change whatever it says in there to 'olympus'. So you should now see:
Code:
[B]ro.product.device=olympus[/B]
Reboot phone.
You should now be able to view and download Tegra apps from the Play Store.
Remember to hit Thanks if I helped you out in anyway Cheers!
Note: Since these games are developed for Tegra devices, they may be a tad bit glitchy. However, I've tried a few games out and they seem to work perfectly fine!
UPDATE: Even though changing the build.prop will give you access to more games, Tegra Exclusive games still don't seem to be working. If I find anymore information, I will update this thread.
More build.prop devices you can use
Motorola Atrix:
Code:
[B]ro.product.device=olympus[/B]
AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3:
Code:
[B]ro.product.device=d2att[/B]
Nexus 7 Tablet:
Code:
[B]ro.product.device=grouper[/B]
Asus Transformer Pad:
Code:
[B]ro.product.device=tf300t[/B]
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1:
Code:
[B]ro.product.device=GT-P7500[/B]
Samsung Galaxy Nexus:
Code:
[B]ro.product.device=maguro[/B]
Asus Transformer Prime (TF201):
Code:
[B]ro.product.device=tf201[/B]
JXD S7300:
Code:
[B]ro.product.device=softwin[/B]

Based on this thread, the build prop would be:
Code:
ro.product.device=mako
I haven't tested it, so I'm not sure.
Try it if you want lol.
I'm getting wild blood now! Still won't let me download nba jam. Happen to know galaxy S3 build prop? I was able to play on my old G3. Strange, rayman jungle run still says it's incompatible? That's all right I ended up paying twice for it. Bought it off amazon market
Able to download wild blood and nova 3! Let's hope they both work. Not like there's a lack of GPU power

Nova 3,butter smooth frame rates! The cut scenes and game play looks unreal! It actually looks like councel quality. I hear this term thrown around but this time your hearing it from a gamer! Can't wait to see when there optimized for our device! Two reasons why all games will be. No. 1 Google branded galaxy s4. No. 2 its already doing better then the galaxy S3.

Got all my games besides NBA jam. Tried maguro! Toro, D2vzw and none work. If anyone finds one that works or a trick that works like clearing market data please let me know. I love that game! Extremely frustrating that the dev just can't do the quick fix for us. Also sucks that they don't respond to kind emails neither! Big props to all of you geniuses that only android can attract. Lower IQ people go for simple

The code to fool Playstore into thinking you have a S3 device is:
ro.product.device=d2att
It looks like it does show more apps, but rayman and NBA Jam still don't show unfortunately @mike216 I'll keep looking to see if I can get it to work!

Just found the best way to get the most apps to show up in the play store.
Best way to have the device set up is as follows.
ro.product.device=softwin
I am attaching 4 pictures just to show 2 apps that are missing in the top paid apps list.
Using d2att leaves a few apps still missing in the play store.
Using
ro.product.device=softwin (will give you more apps as ive seen. Two for example are max payne, 9mm and the game of life)
ro.product.device=softwin seems to be the best. I found this on one of my other android devices..... lol
If anyone can report back if they see more apps in the list as I do it woipd be great.

You should really try
ro.product.device=softwin
this will give you a lot more apps in the play store list.
Make sure you reboot.
Then use the phone for about 5 minutes and check multiple times for NBA Jam in the Play Store or even just NBA.
More apps then that will be added to your play store app list

Awesome! Which device is that for?
Its for one of my JXD Devices. Its not a phone, its not a tablet but it runs android amazingly.
My only question is we can get all these apps to show in the play store. 90% of them work.
But a select few dont, like 9mm, real boxing and a few others I cant rwmember right now.
9mm says Device not compatible.
Real Boxing gives a non Tegra Processor message once in the main menu.
Is there a fix for these two problems im describing for 9mm and Real Boxing that I just have not found on the XDA Forums and google?????

So frustrating! I tried softwin but still no nba jam? How are you able to see this game? Did you clear data or anything else?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
I restarted the phone after making the change.
Then go in the the play storw and search for it. Should come up after a few minutes doing multiple searches.
Think it takes time for playstore to load the new apps.
