Where is the home media/itues steaming feature?

I saw a bunch of news articles about it, but dont see any way to enable it in android 2.2

Wanna link us to these articles? And do some fact-checking to make sure you're not confused in regards to the teased features for Gingerbread that were shown at Google I/O?

That was the first one I remember reading. Am I reading it wrong?

From what I understood, those demonstrations were of tech that's to be in Gingerbread, or just flat-out hasn't been released yet. Don't hold your breath waiting...

I still think it's crap how google got everyone so excited with all the cloud features for froyo(like OTA app sideloading) then didn't really deploy them...

They didnt mention gingerbread. And they demonstraited it on a n1 which doesnt have the hardware for gingerbread. Im pissed this feature hasnt been added.

I think there is a lot of this in the framework for FroYo, but what they showed were more demo level, and they are going to let developers implement these things.
Kinda like the HDMI port on the EVO, the API is there, developers just need to use it.

Buy J. River Media Center and install their free Gizmo Android app. Music streaming and more to your phone.

to the OP or others that said they are pissed... you may be pissed now but i assure you after reading a few things, the future is looking bright!!!!! as f*ck!!!!
I blv google has come to the realization that it cannot fully compete with iphone smart(coughdumbcough)phones as well as microsoft smartphones for the simple fact their proprietary music software pwns all just about in respects to itunes and zune... however with google's purchase of simplifymedia and the already implemented cloud servers... its no doubt in my mind in short time we will rule. Hell Apple aint dumb, Itunes will see cloud computing too.
In the meantime... you all should look into either mspot (music only) or zumodrive (media video included). Its basically an alternative (IMHO) until google gets its service up and running. It syncs the music on your computer to the cloud and lets you access it from within your android app. Damn near instant with cloud computing
did i mention how much i love clouds?

What makes you think it doesn't have the hardware? 1Ghz CPU, 512MB of RAM are the only requirements for 3.0 that we've heard of, and the N1, EVO, DX, Incredible, and Desire all match those requirements.

I think screen size is also a requirement for gingerbread. At least 4" I believe.

3.5", not 4". N1 has 3.7".

I think most of those features are in Froyo, but there are still a lot of frameworks outside of the OS that need to be implemented. The Android Market is still being redesigned to work from the web. Froyo has the ability, as you can see with Chrome to Phone, but the web side of things isn't ready for the public yet. As for media, I think Froyo may have it, but Google is probably waiting for their music service to be ready (which is on its own timeline) before they launch the media features. Remember, they want to sell music through the Market in the near future, and the media features mostly have to do with that. It probably won't come until Gingerbread is released, but most likely 2.2+ can use these features when the "other half" is ready.
Patience is a virtue.

[Q] Android Netflix App for A7?

Does anyone know if the new Android Netfix app will ever work on the A7? I installed it on my EVO and it is sweet! But the screen is TINY!

I don't count on it ever working,but I put playon on mine and it works pretty much perfectly.You can install it on your computer then you are basically steaming but you have Netflix, Hulu CBS,tbs comedycentral,syfy and the list goes on.You can try it out for a couple of weeks for free and then if you want to keep it they are pretty cheap and have several ways to subscribe,from monthly,yearly and even a one time payment for a lifetime subsciption.Anyway I got tired of waiting and got it on sell and haven't looked back.It is more than you can imagine and you can use it on PS3.Xbox,Wii,and several blueray players.Pretty much anything that is DLNP capable .
Anyway didn't mean to ramble but hope this helps.

There is a netflix app available without the checks and already signed. Most have said they can get it running in a gingerbread rom. I haven't been able to get it working on the A7's rom however.

I know that they won't allow it to run on devices that are rooted, but I think if you search the forums you'll find a modded apk that should run.

I tryed them all, they are a no go. Something in the A7 is missing to let it run, i can browse for movies but once i go to play them it just loops back to the browse screen

I have an archos tab and the cracked apk works great. But not for my A7

Thanks,
I had installed the cracked version on my Evo4G and Evo3D, and it installed on the A7 but would never work.
I always ignored the "there is a newer version available" message until I read your post. Works like a charm now... Resolution seems like it sucks a little, but that may have just been the movie I tested with.

Just down loaded from Market. Install and logged in. It works great!!!

Works great!!!

I updated to this version and it works well. I've noticed that the resolution starts out bad but rapidly improves. I am really happy with this tablet now. It pretty much does most things I want it to do. Only thing left for me to conquer is moving apps 2 external SD.
Thanks to everyone that has helped develop the mode!

Just wanted to make sure everyone is aware that you can adjust the quality of your stream through netflix. Just head to your account page on netflix.com and towards the bottom is a link to adjust the quality.

I've be seaching for the Elocitymod 1.42a, but haven't been able to find it. Can anyone tell me where I can get it or send a link? Thanks

On my completly factory A7+ I got netflix working only through an account on amazon
Still can't find way for un modified A7+ to get HBO GO
more to point. I cant get netflix audio (or any audio) through hdmi on my ~5 yr old Insignia HD TV, is it possible adjusting stream quality will solve the no audio? I tried it on a new 55" Toshiba and audio/video work perfect (and wow, a 3' tall angry bird is cool)
This has been answerd in old threads as, "some tv's audio works, some don't"
Any new fixes?
Anyway to put screen to sleep while still streaming through hdmi?

HTC HUB updated (again) December

HTC HUB updated(mango). Its seems htc just released a newer version its more panoramic now. Besides that change it has stocks and is a bit laggy but all in all its great. Now you can Pin stocks, get a 4day forecast, pin weather for separate locates, added news like cnn, htc etc.
Also forgot to mention completely new ui and animations have changed. Already miss the rain windshield wiper.

No problem now im waiting on a HTC YouTube update because that app needs an overhaul.

Will pinned stock tiles update; i.e., are they live tiles?

Doesn't update for me. Shows install instead of update.
Tried lke 20 times. Won't go past 50% downloaded. EDIT: Yea, no way I'm gonna get this to update. Keeps erroring out at 40% downloaded. Oh well.
I want it for the RSS Reader, but really updating HTC apps on this phone has been a completely fail ever since the Mango update went out. Samsung has done a good job with theirs, though. Something to think about for the future

Found issue. Unpin HTC hub before updating...

My download gets stuck at 50% and then gives me an error. Doesn't finish. Sad. I don't care for HTC Hub, but I like to see what new stuff it has every update.
Goes for the Dock application too. Almost finishes installing and then fails.

This new hub sucks. The tile is no longer live. It only updates when you open it.

Its working for me. I like that you can pin individual weather locations to the start screen in a single tile rather than a double wide one. I wish it flipped though so I'll be keeping accuweather for a while.
I use FUSE as my newsreader so I dont care for the rss part of the hub.

After how long does it update? I've had mine installed for ~ 4 hours now and it still reports the same temp as this morning..

Actually IMHO this new HUB is great, I like the way STOCKS and RSS READER are implemented in it. Just a side swipe and there they are!! GREAT

live tile works here as well. Worked after about 30minutes. But as somebody else said, it could show much more info with a flipping tile. hopefully they will change that.

I had no trouble updating the hub or any other HTC apps, I still have the older sound enhancer tho. really shouldn't be talking about what Samsung does in an HTC thread especially considering that Samsung is below the industry standard in CS.

It was always like that. The shortest update interval for the tile is 1 hour, IIRC, maybe 30 minutes minimum. It always updated like that. Nothing has changed there. It just looks different (better, IMO). The Actual Hub is much better than it was before.
And for people getting stuck at 50%, UNPIN THE TILE from your start screen. I put it in there, and I don't think anyone bothered to try that

Why are you being butthurt. Samsung's Apps update flawlessly - I know someone with a Focus. See her 3-5x a week at the rink. She didn't have any of these issues... Comparison is how you arrive at good or bad. Without a comparison base, you can't rate anything. Samsung is TERRIBLE for CS. Everyone knows this. Every Galaxy S owner knows this * 666.
HTC's Apps are a mess on Mango with the way they're constantly supported, unsupported, there, not there, crashing media player, pulled, stuck at 50% * 20+ attempts, etc. It's messy. That is all.
I DON'T have Sound Enhancer. The sound on my phone is terrible with out it.
That's okay, though. I just bought me a new iPod Touch so I won't have to deal with that, anymore.

For everybody who can't download update this is the link for taping from device web browser: http://windowsphone.com/s?appid=1a0ee8c2-48b1-df11-8a2f-00237de2db9e
I think so can be added to first post movie about HTC Hub after update:

did u read all of my last post? I said that I've had no issues updating the apps at all and my sound enhancer still works. and I even have the connected media app working now, sucks that u are now on the iTrain even tho Zune is so much better. and CS is customer satisfaction,not service.

Sorry, but Zune is not better than an iPod, especially not what's in WP7. They ripped out Zune Social. Sound Quality isn't anything near what it is with a Zune HD (which is so poorly supported IRT apps that it isn't even a consideration at this point). The iTouch also gives me a bit of utility that I don't have with the smartphones I own (like a FFC) in addition to access to a lot of really good apps - some of which do not exist on other platforms (and some of which are twice as expensive on other platforms vs. iOS).
I got it primaritly as a media player, that way when I kill my second smartphone line/SIM it won't matter which phone I throw away.
My point had nothing to do with what you had. I can factory reset my phone and get Sound Enhancer back as well, but I had to remove the one that's loaded to update it, because it showed up in the market as a separate app instead of an update, similar to Attentive Phone and Slacker/Slacker Radio. It's disappeared since then. That one app made the phone bearable as a PMP. It's not bearable without it.
And Apple has very high Customer Satisfaction, so if that's how you base your opinions I wonder why you're trolling me with terms like iTrain...?
/shrugs/ I even got WLM w/ Messenger Social and OneNote Mobile for free on iOS.

iPod better than zune or wp7? now u really must be on crack. HTC is also right below Crapple in customer satisfaction. HTC has sold more wp7 and android phones than any other OEM.

Comics apps

I have a problem with both the Comics and DC Comics apps from Comicxology. They FC pretty much immediately after starting.
Has anyone else gotten them to work on their tabs, or is it incompatible with the A100?!?

I just tried out the Comics app from Comicxology. I navigated through a lot of the options so see if it would force close on me. No problem what so ever.
It seems you are having quite a few issues with games/apps. Did you accidentally remove something you weren't supposed to? If not, have you tried doing a factory reset?

Yeah, I've actually thought about doing a wipe. The A100 doesn't seem nearly as stable or fast as it originally was.
The odd thing however, is that I contacted the dev behind the Comic app, and got this reply:
"No ETA quite yet, but we have some cool things planned!
comiXology Support"
I asked whether their app is compatible with the A100/7 inch tabs and whether they'll be supported in an upcoming edition.
Needless to say, I'm kinda confused now that you're saying that it works fine

Nokia 8.1 Equaliser

Hi everyone!
I'm having some issue with my 3M Worktunes Connect headphones which I'm using whole day long at work.
The soundquality is pretty poor on my Radio App which I'm listening while working (I'm a Belgian living in Finland so it's the only way).
When I listen to Spotify, I have access to the equaliser and I can fine-tune the sound pretty good but in my radio app I can't get access to it.
I've tried all the available options from the Google Play store but none of them work. At the installation it always says there is already an equaliser installed (Sound FX if I remember correctly).
Does anyone have a solution to this?
I'm not rooted and I'm actually not looking forward to do so.. I bought the Android One phone so I could just sit back and enjoy a clean, smooth running Android without having to stress ?
Thanks in advance!

Okay, maybe my question was not clear or the solution is so simple that nobody feels like sharing it with me ?
I'll survive with crappy sounds I guess...
Thanks anyway for taking the time to read through my problem description.
Greetings, Sam

You could try this app call Neutralizer. It works system-wide.
Just a side note, for the best sound you'll have to take a minute or two to setup it up properly to make full use of it.
Unfortunately I'm unable to add the play store link here.
Hope it works out for you.

Sadly enough it's not working either, just like any other third party equaliser on my Nokia 8.1

I'm using Poweramp. Works great, but it's not system wide
