Hbo go? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So apparently its out on market but search doesn't bring it up. Is it possible its only out for verizon at the moment(that's the only name mentioned in the tech blogs)? I remember it not supposed to be released till the 2nd or March but you know those things can go right?
Edit: doesn't matter for me anyhow..stupid time warner!!!
If this needs to be deleted I'm not gonna get butt-hurt about it lol

its on there, i cant get it to play on videos yet. it just gives me schedule for shows and movies

Might be different in certain markets. I'm in texas and it doesn't show up for me. My buddy in st. Louis doesn't get a lot of the apps I tell him to look for due to same reason.
For me it doesn't matter because rupert murdoch and company won't play nice!!

i installed it at about 9 or 10pm pacific time last night here in vegas, i have directv and it installed just fine, and i can watch videos just fine.

Must be nice...rumors say time warner and cablevision will have it end of summer, but official statements nothing will happen anytime soon...

Installed it here in Washington. I have Xfinity. Signed up with my comcast account info and voila instant HBO video streaming. Pretty cool. I'll have to test it out on my G-Slate when I get home. Works great on my G2 though.

how bizarre that some people see ti and some dont. i imagine if you're a subscriber they have a link elsewhere as well.

Please help!
Why does the app want me to create a new HBOGo ID?? I have already created one on the HBOGo webpage.
Do I need 2 HBO ID's, one for the PC and another for my EVO phone?

Well I'm a little disappointed in HBO. This app works great on my G2. Went to install it on my GSlate and no go. "This app does not support your device" Well thats just grand I can watch it on my little screen but not on my 9" tablet. That makes total sense.

Netflix app

Anyone able to get the netflix app off the LG Revolution?

Ohh, I want it too!
Hopefully this means we will be getting it soon (hacked or official). Apparently, you can have up to 6 devices linked to one Netflix account. So I will be able to watch using my wife's Netflix account.
Please oh please oh please!
I hope soon, I've been waiting fooorrreverrrr for this!

That's a quick way to reach your alloted 5gb of 4g data!
yeah, sucks having to tether to an ipod touch to get your netflix content while away from a Wi Fi source. Might be the only reason why I haven't sold my ipod actually, the netflix app.
I would be happy with just a Netflix app that solely provides the opportunity to search for movies and manage your queues, not for watching movies on the G2 (although that would be sweet).

Care to share which one is actually worth using? I've tried a couple and they're not really good. I'm looking for one designed by Netflix, not some 3rd party developer.
as far as i know android hasnt received love from netflix due to security and piracy concerns. Dated November 13th (short article BTW)
http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/13/netflix-headed-to-select-android-devices-early-next-year/#
androinica claims they have seen the Netflix app on an LG Revolution. But where can I get it for my G2?
I've about had it with Netflix and their crappy movie line up anyways. They charge you $8.99 a month (which is fair) but then they offer so few good available and the others are dvd only. Then they "fix" this issue by charging you more dvds out at a time to make up for it. Its just about screwing over folks and milking them for the $20, 30, or 40 plan. I wish they would just upload all digital streaming and offer dvd to those old fashioned folks who actually want it. Plus, their reasoning for not offering their app on android is ludicious.... I hope something better comes along soon
Damn peoples. You gotta be patient. How are people going to pull and share the Netflix app when they just figured it out recently that one exists for Android. I mean don't get me wrong, I want the app as much as the next person but its not going to magically appear. Let the Android community do its magic. I don't even think people even got to mess with the phone yet let alone the Netflix app.

History of android phones has shown that apps from pre-release dumps and leaks from upcoming phones as well as preview phones have found their way to xda before a phones release. It isn't too far fetched nor unreasonable to have a little expectation that it may have happened or will in this case

I was under the impression that one of the main reason Netflix has not come to Android is because of the backbone of Netflix streaming, which is M$ Silverlight

Its not netflix - its pressure from hollywood and the studio execs for both the lack of streaming titles and the android app/"drm" concerns. And let's not forget that apple has their tentacles deep in hollywood cuz of their involvement with pixar and apple tv (jobs was the ceo of pixar).
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Yeah, that sounds about right about the lack of complete library streams. Other the other matter, I'm sure ports will be on the way. The only issue I foresee is linking the account to the device if its ported. Might be a pain to get the port properly to avoid that issue...
I'd greatly appreciate a netflix app for my g2. I'm jealous of the iphones netflix app. -__-

I am personally inclined to believe it has more to do with Apple's influence/blackmail than the pirating issue. It seems far fetched that someone would resort to a phone stream to pirate movies or shows.

[Q] Wtf netflix

So has the netflix app been given up on? I have heard hulu and hbo go is good but I have a g2 and haven't been able to get hulu. And I don't have hbo with may dish setup so can't use that. Plus I went to the web site to download the app and it said it couldn't be found... So with the g2 is my streaming options really that bad? Other than you tube and jtv it seem like nothing eals works or if it does its garbage
Sent from my HTC G2 using XDA Premium App
The Netflix app is only coming out for a few specific Android phones due to DRM concerns from the studios. Its not coming out officially for any already released Android device.
If you absolutely need it, check out PlayOn, some have had success
But playon cost more money and you have to have a computer witch the only one I have is a acer witch only has 1g of memory
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
just be persistent.. we'll get it eventually.
I've been yelling at netflix for years (literally, the first message I sent to them was late 2008) to get their streaming sorted out for android.
never once in all of the messages (some HAND WRITTEN and mailed, I **** you not) I've sent have I received a response.. nor do I expect one, but the more people who complain and threaten to leave, the more likely it is they will get their act together.
so, those of you who are netflix members, START WHINING and start whining frequently. the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Yeah you would think Verizon would make their flagship app work with their flagship phone. But hey, at least they didn't screw up the release date of the 15th...
The NFL Mobile app doesn't work on the G-Nex? What the hell am I paying $10 a month for?
My 3 week old RAZR is sitting on eBay and it does something very important that the G-Nex doesn't. This is sad news.
Well at least my wife has a RAZR. I can watch it on hers.
I agree. This really pisses me off. I work out of town all the time and cant catch up on my NFL. I'm going to reactivate my Bionic and maybe return the Nexus if they don't resolve this quick. There are a bunch off apps that don't run or constantly crash. Verizon visual voicemail keeps crashing in the background also.
VZW states it is a 3rd party app

@calKno This is a third-party application and we do not have an ETA of when it will be available on Nexus. ^LA

The app has certain approved devices that work with it.

I never used it for the video, just the stats and to keep up with the game when I can't watch or listen to it.

I guess it is a VZW "sponsored" app, so they limit to their phones and dropped the ball in having the developers prep it for SGN or ICS.

It's my understanding that -all- 4G phones, of which the G-Nex is included, are supposed to be able to use NFL Mobile for free. FWIW.
Yes....this is ridiculous. I was looking forward to streaming highlights and video. Now I can't even are a flipping score?
Several other apps not working as well.
I still love this thing though.

NFL app (this one lets you view scores and highlights and news and such)
so is there a different app you're trying to use?
ps: all apps from NFL enterprises.
The APP we use in the states lets us watch the games live, We get full covereage of the NFL network games (thursday,saturday,sunday,monday night games) and for the bulk of them we use Red Zone to let us watch all the good plays while they happen.
Any chance of being able to maybe.... tinker.... with the ini? maybe trick it into thinking that its something different or maybe its just an issue of screen size again. Similar to swypes issue?

The same as game pass mobile
Only i pay a lot less since i life outside of the usa
It is a bummer that this doesn't work, but there seems to be a little self-contradiction here - a lot of complaints that Verizon GNex isn't a stock google phone, and then more complaints that they didn't do more to change the phone so that it would work with Verizon sponsored apps.

[APP Related Question] NHL Game Center

I have a paid for-Game Center Subscription that I have tried to used with the app to allow me to watch games.
However with the app, I am still unable to get any sort of video to play. It just displays the loading spinning circle and never goes any further.
Anyone having better success?
There was an update in the market a few days ago that fixed everything for me but before that I was having the same issues as you. Try and uninstall /reinstall resign in. Good luck

I thought you could get upgraded for free for being on Verizon but I was wrong.
You get the premium app for free for having a Verizon 4G phone. If you have a 3G Verizon phone, you get the premium app for $10 instead of $20.
I just got this phone on Thursday, and haven't had any problems with video on it. Quality isn't as good as last year, but everything seems to work fine.

My Bad Experience with the JUMP program

Hi Guys,
Has anybody had any issues trying to update their phone with the jump program.
I went into the tmobile store on 1/12 and the rep pulled up my account and indicated that I an eligible on 1/14. I would need to go into the store to do the upgrade.
On 1/14 I went into the store and asked to update from the S4 to a white G2. Well, to my surprise they did not have any white G2's and could not have one shipped to me because they jump program does not allow shipping to an address. They could not even ship it to the store. They called around and found a store 45m in from me that had a white G2.
Off I went to the store. I spent 1.5 hours in the store while the reps tried to process the upgrade but could not. Had customer service on the line and still no luck. Eventually I had to leave because this was taking 2.5 hours out my day.
I called customer service about 3 times yesterday and still no luck. They indicated that they cannot do anything as the Jump program must be done from a store. I stopped in at another store last night and the same issue. Unable to complete the process.
I am so frustrated with tmobile right now. Do they not test this before they launch it. Maybe the same company that build the Obama Care is managing the tmobile site.
:crying::crying::crying:Let me know if you guys have had any luck.

Were you able to get a new phone with the jump program? The guys at the store seemed like a bunch of "Yahoos" and I'm not sure they know what they are doing. Nobody seems to have completed the jump redeem procedure yet.
So, I called customer service today and the rep said they are looking into the issue with the jump program and she has all my details and would give me a call on Wed, Jan 22
You would really think it would take them a day to fix this issue.
Not impressed.
They told you jump has to be done at a store? I did it online.

My local tmobile store fixed my issues finally. I went to the store close to my house and the guys there are really helpful. He got all my issues with the account fix up and today I got my white G2 in the mail.
Thanks guys at the store for taking the time to resolve my issue and spending all the time on the phone with customer care.
Thanks tmobile.
Complaint Box
When anything first comes out it is not buttery smooth expect a little hiccups with the first round of using jump. You got in on the opening days of jump and got a new device. You experience some turbulence but got your new phone. It is because of people like you that complain about the smallest inconveniences in a great thing that give good things bad names. If you plan on keeping up with the best and latest devices you cant beat jump. Why dont you go out and buy a 4k tv as well and complain about it looking the same as 1080p as well while you are at it. (if you dont know what I am talking about. It is because there isnt a whole lot of stuff that is 4k quality yet it is all still 1080p and that is all you would get. even though 4k is better you just have to wait for the services to come available)
