Blockbuster on evo - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to get the blockbuster app off of the droid x and install it on the evo? There are a whole lot of movies on there and i don't know if there is a way to play movies on the evo. Also i want to hook it up to my hdtv and watch movies on there.

Yes it is possible to get off the droid but no it does not install.

Can you send me a link to the APK? I doubt it'll install with the traditional manner, but it may be able to be pushed.

Does not push either. I have tried. Also tried dlna as well. doing a few of the nonblur apps at a time to test.

now working on evo!!!
my friend said the market had the blockbuster app accidentally for a couple hours then they pulled it...saying it is not ready for other carriers yet...but he said it downloaded, installed and even worked!!!! (although, he said it force closes often and the quality doesn't seem that great) ...i am trying to get it from him, but it may take a while ...he is a noob trying to figure out how to get it and send it. any tips for him?? (we are going to try titanium backup)

I downloaded it yesterday and deleted it 10 minutes later.

All download links of the blockbuster app have been removed

i got it
i got it, it installed... and i activated (online though)...I EVEN RENTED A MOVIE!!! ok, but it wouldn't download so, no go. not many force closes...it said
" DOWNLOAD FAILED" ...No compatible profile available for download. My profile in the app is set at portable...but i must need some droidx permissions or something

Is there anyway to pull the permissions from the DroidX dump?? I have the original blockbuster app from that, along w/ the rest of the dump but have no clue where to look for the additional files that may be needed to install so it thinks i am on a droidx...if this is even possible.

How to update apps t-mobile added to G2 rom (bloatware)

how do I update apps like Amazon, photobucket, etc.? I can't update them from the market since I didn't download the from there in the first place.
download it from the market. Just try it. Download it, dispite it not shown in the market as an update. Once installed the phone and your market will see it as an update.

yep
First time I logged into the market, it autoupdated all the junk. Goggles and visual voicemail won't update but that's it.
Yeah, I didn't even find "Visual Voicemail" in the marketplace anymore.
I'm pretty sure that T-Mobile might have pulled it from the market entirely.
Anyway, I can't seem to update Google Goggles either. I've tried several times, but it never seems to actually update and install the latest version.
Would it be safe to use Titanium Backup to remove that system application? Or is that not even possible, considering I've read that people have tried to remove the "bloatware" but it just seems to reappear after a reboot.
Any insights?

Damn, no more HD2 huh?
Yeah you can remove the bloatware from your device. Well, disable not remove. Read on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809231
Ha.
No way, Jose!
I still have my HD2, it's just collecting dust on my computer desk right now.
I thought about using it as a fly swatter, but that seemed too dramatic!
KIDDING!
But yeah, that thing is legendary, so I couldn't just be rid of it.
And thanks for pointing me in the right direction man, good lookin' out!
If you don't want to disable the app which is very easy to do over terminal emulator, try freezing the app with titanium backup. That way you can see how your phone will work with it disabled. For example if you freeze/disable the stock messenger app no messaging app will work after that until you unfreeze/enable the stock one. Same thing with youtube. If you freeze the app and download the newer one off the market it wont work.
Some 3rd party app depend on the stock app to be functional. Let me know if you need help disabling an app. I'll make a video. I <3 my new camera. I traded a gun for it.
I can't seem to update Goggles...
I've disabled the application, then tried to update it from the marketplace, and still nothing manages to install.
I have successfully updated every other system application through the marketplace, with the exception of Goggles.
How can this application be updated properly?
Have you tried to enable it then update?

Yeah, of course.
But from what I've been told by a few other users... it's a bug in the ROM that doesn't allow certain handsets to update that application.
I mean, unless you have been able it?

[Q] Honeywell Total Connect app

I had a Honeywell Total Connect app to manage my home security system. It never worked well so I uninstalled it. Since then they updated some code on my security system and apparently it works great now. I recently updated my phone to the 2.2 EB13 code. Now I cant find the Total Connect App in the market. Does anyone have it that could pull it off and send it to me via email so I can install it, maybe download it if you are running older android. Or, is there a way to see the market items that may be market incompatible with my epic running 2.2 code. I'm fairly certain the old apk will work.
any help would be appreciated.
Try the online market link from here
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alarmnet.rcmobile&feature=search_result
No luck. It asks what device to instal to. No options available. I tried to choose install but no dice. I tried multiple other ways, market just won't allow it.
Thanks tho for the suggestion!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
There are a few threads around about the market not recognizing Epics with EB13 as valid and thus not offering some apps. I have the same problem. I have not seen any solution yet.
Thanks! Good to know its not just me. I emailed honeywell. Maybe they can email me the apk.

Nope. Not just you
As near as I can gather, it's a market problem and has been seen after previous releases. You might want to join in here: http://www.google.com/support/forum...88&hl=en&fid=3c42ba0bbed1dc8800049cf3830036b3

Downloading apks.

My evo is rooted and I want to try some apps before I buy them. I know Google doesn't want you to download apks from the internet so they try to block them. Sometimes I can get them to download and sometimes I cant. Is their any way you can get your evo to bypass this? I don't want an app from the market. Maybe a file I can delete using root explorer or something?
Menu > Settings > Applications
make sure "unknown sources" is checked.

No that's not the problem. All that does is let you install them. I need help downloading them. It downloads them sometimes but most of the time it doesn't.
Downloading them from where? If you are downloading them from a 3rd party site, then the problem is with the site itself. Unless you are having problems downloading everything. If you are only having difficulties downloading apk files, then try getting them from another source.
I've noticed certain apps do not install, unless installed from the market.
One such app is google maps. After switching to cm7, gapps wanted to install maps 5.31 (current version). I wanted 5.0. Manually installing 5.0 would fail right at the end with a "unable to install" or "installation unsuccessful" message.
Pushing said app to /system/app, adjusting permissions, then rebooting yielded success.
I can install them I just can't download them.
warez is bad mm'kay. don't discuss in thread. pm peeps for that

How are you trying to download them?
Why don't you download them using a computer then transfer them to your phone via USB?
Note: I'm not condoning piracy.
9 out of 10 users have pirated apps before. Its not right but people do it.

I think of if as a free trial, then I always buy them to get the updates. I have a few that I paid for and never use because I went over the 15 minute limit. I also have a few paid ones that are junk, FC a lot and the dev abandoned.

Yea a buck isn't so bad, but $5+ apps with no trial, demo or free version you bet Im gonna hit up 4******.*** and look for an apk and give it a run.
Ohh 4*****.*** sucks. I got something wayyyy more epic! Lol

If you're using 3g/4g to download, make sure you have the Sprint proxy disabled. It may or may not cause problems.
I kind of understand "trying before you buy"... as long as you buy. I just hate how people feel like these apps should be handed to them, like they're entitled.
I can't say much since I pirate music, but I always make sure to purchase from the bands I really appreciate, especially the lesser known & local bands. That's kind of how I view app/rom developers, they're local to the community... so I always either purchase the apps or use a free alternative.

EL29 Update/Media Hub and new "Samsung Accounts" app

Ok, I purchased a few movies on Media Hub when I had my Epic. (The Godfather and Scarface..had to have them). They always worked fine on this phone. When I went to EL29, it showed Media Hub having a mandatory update. Well, the update installs an app called "Samsung Accounts" and it made my paid Media Hub movies show unpaid. I spent hours on the phone with Sprint, then tech support, then Samsung and couldn't even get a credit for movies. I restored my EL26 nandroid and...they work fine. I even froze market updater on EL29 and it didn't work. Hopefully others don't have this experience but if you do, please call and complain! I paid $10 a movie!

Well, it failed on EL26 now too. The update pops up in the middle of watching my paid movie then says update necessary. If you say no, it closes app...this is some B.S.!!!! At least I can get my purchase date,from EL26 before update pops,up to fight this garbage. Hope they don't figure,out Hotspot

Only thing I can think of making a backup of MediaHub without the update, install the update, open the MediaHub apk, find the config or similar file, find a Version variable or something to the like of that, copy it and paste it somewhere. Then, revert to the pre-update MediaHub backup, open, find config, and paste the Version of the updated MediaHub there (along with any other version-defining variables. Then re-create the apk and try again.
Only thing I can think of, which is to try to trick it into thinking it's been updated. I'm an experienced programmer, but I'm now getting into Android Dev'ing, so I don't know the exact process for Android APK's.... yet!
Just a thought. Might not work since the updater might actually scan the contents of all files go see if they aren't the updated files which would force the update regardless of changing a few config values.
This is the reason I don't purchase any sort of media through my phone.
That, and nothing fills me with more dread that watching a 90 minute movie on a 4" screen with tinny sound. But that's just me... I realize others don't have such qualms.
No complaints on my Epic 4G Touch. This 4.5" AMOLED screen is the chit fool!

Sprint made a formal announcement today about the new Sprint Direct Connect Now App in the android market which can be found here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.qualcomm.qchat.dlc&feature=search_result
Anyone seen this APK floating around online? I would love to give this a whirl on my device and see if its possible to get it working on our devices.
I couldn't find anything but I will keep an eye on it and if I find it I will post it if someone didn't already.

Yeah ive been scouring google for anything pertaining to an updated apk but everything I found just links me to old threads and the play store link. We dont have a kyocera rise in stock so I cant pull it myself.
Ill try to go into a Sprint store and see if i can download and then extract the apk file. Hope it works on our android devices =). Doesn't make any sense for Sprint to release this app only to the Kyocera Rise. It's an android app, should be compatible with all android phones. Stupid Sprint! Been waiting for this for years!

According to sprint a Direct Connect SOC has to be added to an account before you can use it. Not sure if this will be an issue with adding the SOC to a non supported device. I would like to have the application and then add the SOC to my account to further test

If you have root its in System/App not sure what the procedure would be for non root devices. I'm still trying to find out how to get the apk without the suspect device.

Since its a downloadable app from the market you could easily pull the apk. No need for root. Ill grab it when I get back to work around 6. Or you could pull the build.prop and change your device fingerprint to the rise to download the apk. I tried searching for a system dump for the build.prop but came up dry.

Yes I am aware of this but I have that issue alot with many apps because its not listing the device as compatible. Doesnt mean that it may not work. I have this issue with some apps so I install it on a compatible device and pull it to install on the "incompatible" device.

hmm so this would be free for me. i have a sprint everything plan and under my account i see:
Unltd Nationwide Direct Connect
Unlimited Group Connect
funny how it's included, but a feature i can't use.. anyone have APK working yet? wonder if you would have to keep the app always running (battery killer) for people to PTT you? hope it's not like zello where you have to be logged in and app running 24/7 rather than some type of Push service.
Sorry I was unable to get the apk today. The sprint store did not have a working display of the Kyocera rise. I will try another store tomorrow.
Im very interestes in getting this working. Hopefully someone can provide this apk asap. Thank you in advance to whomever does.

From what I've seen / read it there is something extra on the Rise and the LG that has the App. Also the SOC is restricted to the two phones so even if you got the app to load it would have no UFMI (or w/e the SDC equilivant is) to tie into, or attempt to provision on it. Thus no Go I think if it worked on other phones, it would be out
Try downloading it with appbrain

If it is a Play Store installable then it may have APK go directly to Data/App which u cannot view directly from the device. If it goes to System/App u can always browser through System/App folder and actually copy ANYTHING from the System folder to another location on the device. Pasting and editing is what u cant do inside of the System folder but copying allowed.
