So ok here goes. I was playing around with the kin Twom and it's browser. So I went to the YouTube mobile site m.YouTube.com.it tries to play the videos but fails saying the phone can't play the video. Until one video. After clearing the cache and trying again sure enough it came. Right up. The name of the video was called lucky shot and it was the top favorites of the day. But it played. And played fine. Now I had no clue the kin could do this. So I tried youporn without any success but at the same time it sill attempts to play the file. Anyone else been able to get a video to play. I mean it looks like its supposed to but just not completed. Let's get to testing...
EDIT: I've been able to load some more sites. So I'm going to start a list of working video sites. Take into account that these sites only work when the planets are aligned and I'm assuming because it's the night of the super moon lol. But keep clearing cache and keep trying. The porn sites I list are only because there are very few mobile video sites that dont require HTML 5 or are device specific. So please don't judge me too harshly. It seems that 3gp and mp4 works for the most part.
www.porntube.com
www.YouTube.com
www.zoovision.com
mobile.traileraddict.com unbelievable quality near hd
m.revision3.com near hd quality fast site too watched an entire episode of destructoid
sap.splol.com/videos.html slow to load and audio is off?
Sites that don't work

Although i found the above quite interesting.. why dont you just post the link?.
You passed the no linkign limit and hell, just paste the vid id in other case.
How many "lucky shots" can be on YT? ****, it's not "a complex name that will identifiy a vid better" title...
I have watched lots of videos on Youtube. No problems at all!
Instead watching some *cough* porn *cough* on the Kin, a smarter approach would be to use wireshark or any wifi sniffer so you can get the MIME type of the request and response to the kin from this flash-usage websites.
Just because flash can have (much) more access to a filesystem that html and javascript.. you know..... ... and we can code flash and so.....
My kin plays videos fine. I've used youtube since I got the device. Occasionally it won't play the video. Or sometimes it is VERY laggy. At first I thought it was perhaps my internet connection but after trying it on my schools network(Which is business class and has download speeds of over 60mb/s) and encountering the same problem I decided it was the device.

I'm currently working on that now just to no avail. It looks like flash is completely ignored so I'm sure it's just using direct link MP4, M4V, or 3GP files and streaming those instead. Access to the file system (without bricking the machine) would be the most useful at the moment. Though I'm sure with as buggy as the firmware is it shouldn't be too hard to exploit the machine. It's just to get those who know what to do with an exploit into assisting us. Think about it. This machine is only $50 right now and doesn't require a data plan so it's essentially an almost smartphone that doesn't require a data plan. And if we can get android on it then it will be a smartphone without a data plan LOL. So I'll keep testing.
The reason I didn't post the link was I really didn't feel like hand typing the entire URL to the video when I found out very quickly while posting the video that quite a few other Youtube videos work just fine as well but it's really a crap shoot.
My Kin two m is terrible with videos. I've tried the wifi at home and work, both are fast networks, both are terrible on my kin. On youTube I get a second of video, 15 seconds or more of buffering. What's worse is that the videos don't even seem to cache so if you manage to stagger your way through a whole video and then start it over, it buffers its way through the entire thing all over again. The media player often freezes up my browser too. The other times the phone just says "PLAYBACK PROBLEM Can't play this video on the phone." For now I'm kind of giving up on watching videos on this phone.
Try clearing your Browser cache in settings and rebooting the phone. Also try mobile.traileraddict.com and let me know how your phone does there. If they play correctly then it's probably a localized YouTube caching issue. That just means that most videos you are attempting to view haven't been viewed much in your area. It happens with quite a few videos for me. It's the way that YouTube does it's video delivery service. The more people watch one video in an area the more likely it's going to be stored on a local node. It's also the reason some YouTube videos on your PC load quicker than others.

Hi! Thanks for the tips. I tried clearing everything and rebooting. youTube still lags like crazy. I didn't know that about the way youTube caches. That's a bummer. Just watched the Cars 2 trailer at traileraddict and it played all the way through, looked great too. Wish it wasn't so picky about where it gets its videos from, ha.
m.collegehumor.com doesn't seem to work. Gives a "This page cannot be displayed" message.
What I've found its....
From my experience on youtube with the kin 2, I've found that higher quality and longer videos (like around longer than 5-7 minutes) end up crashing the video player (or coming up with an error). I usually don't watch youtube on the kin for that reason (that half the videos I want to watch like minecraft videos don't work) but at least we know that the kin wasn't completely abandoned of youtube playback.

I think it's the playback format provided by the site that's causing the most hangups. I'm looking into making a site that would essentially provide stream links to the MP4 480-720p formats that are provided by Youtube but not streamed to this device by default. The format should work and it's going to be based on ps3youtube.com which is somewhat similar (sort of). For now I'm going to check and see about m.collegehumor.com. Check and try the regular collegehumor.com and see if it automatically switches to the mobile interface version of the site. Let me know how you guys fair. I know most people are going to give up but I'll figure out a way we can enjoy the KIN Two to the fullest.

Yup but I've noticed that if you go straight to http://collegehumor.com then it correctly picks up the device as a mobile and works just fine.
The device exports mobile description through IE data.
So in short, you can get the OS info from the javascript code.
Read only, and very briefly, all being said.

After about a month, I finally got it. Uploading my library now, probably going to max out my storage .
Anyone have any hints, tips or tricks on things that can be done with Google Music?
my learning
If you use an AT&T Microcell the Ping delay will go through the roof while uploading and will impact your ability to make calls.
On my 3G iPhone it appears that a song is playing fine but you can't hear. You need hit the pause button on the player and then play button so you can hear a song. Frankly Google Music doesn't work very well on my iPhone.
If you found any tip sites I'd like to know them.
I got an invite 8 days ago & just barely started uploading my music yesterday night. I've got the app for my Epic running SRF 1.1.1 & it doesn't seem to work. Maybe it might have something to do with the phone's modem? I'm not sure, but I'm only seeing the music on my SD. I checked my settings in the app & it is connected to my account, but it won't display the uploaded music at all. Damn it!

I had the same issue with the app. I had it installed before I received my invite. Simply uninstalled and reinstalled google music on my phone. Issue resolved...for me at least.

Actually because your phone is rooted.
I heard you can clear the apps data and it works , might not but give it a try

works okay for me on stock rooted ec05.. It fine with a few songs, but once I got to around 10,000 songs both the web interface and the android app became a lot slower and less responsive.
Also, the uploader will rape your home bandwidth if you let it.. My 20/2 ends up slower than dialup with that thing running. There are throttle controls, but they didn't seem to help, the problem only went away for me when I turned it off completely. Also it prevents the screensaver from activating.. wtf? The phone player could use more features, as could the web player. Web interface failed the girlfriend test. After using it for a few minutes she declared it "unfriendly" and went back to using grooveshark.
On the one hand, it's cool having my entire mp3 library available when I'm away from home, but on the other hand grooveshark is still better for me to find new music.
On my rooted Droid X (Apex 2.0 Beta), i've had zero issues.
A few tips: Rather than trying to upload your collection during the day, do it while you sleep. It doesn't modify the bitrate, so if you're uploading a 320kbs file that is 6MB in size ... well, you get the idea.
Be prepared for some organization on the site itself. Unless you're quite particular about your ID3 tags, you will have to rename some songs, locate/update/upload new or clearer quality album art (Google Images works fine for this), and combine groups of songs from the same album into one album listing(generally is the result of some of the songs having no 'Album Artist' and some having it... tip, just highlight all, put the Artist in both groups, Ctrl+F5, win.)
Last thoughts... the widget is really bad right now, but the UI isn't awful. While you can presently filter in 2 ways 1) All music or 2) Only music on your phone,... there isn't a way to only filter online stuff. But, when you have no data connection (3G or WiFi), it will gray the online music out.
But really, take this all with the Beta grain of salt. GMail was in beta at one point, and took awhile to become the slick e-mail machine it is now. I have no doubt Google Music will only get better.
do you know, if i update an id-tag on my computer is the same mp3 going to be updated also on Google Music?
If the file size or name of the music file doesn't change then I don't think a Tag will trigger the re-upload. It may be worth a try though.
Anyone know of a good "free" MP3 tagger, that will go through and ID and correct the tags of my MP3s before I upload them?
I think pretty much all of my MP3s have had their tags removed

Several free ones, with reviews for each one.
I've had Google music for a while now (just started using it recently) and I have to say, for it being beta, it's pretty good. Although, I do have some beef with a few things.
Widget sucks: There's the song name, forward, and pause/play button. That's it. I don't like it and I find myself just playing music through the app itself.
Data is wonky: I've noticed that sometimes that GM will load random songs incorrectly and sound like crap. The only way I've found to fix this is going to settings/apps/music and clearing the data and cache. It has to reload the songs but if you start listening to music on wifi or a good 3g connection, songs will load correctly.
Web Interface, YUCK!: Nit picking here but I hate the look of the web interface. Works great though.
App needs equalizer and lockscreen playlist: I'm drawing this complaint after using Power Amp. If GM could model their app after Power Amp, it'd be perfect
Even though it's all complaining, I still recommend this app to music users (on sprint only). After songs are cached on your phone, it hardly draws any data, but I still wouldn't use it on AT&T and Verizon...but that's just because of their stupid cap. It has loads of potential, and I can't wait to see it
I'm wondering if this will have an app for Amazon Instant Video since it is one of the advertised features. If it does, would it be possible to port it to other Android devices? Right now the only way to watch Amazon Instant Video on an Android device is to spoof a desktop user agent and use flash player. While this method works, it would be a lot easier to have a native app, especially with flash player being discontinued.
APK (ATVAndroidCleint.apk) is Posted:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19409230&postcount=10
Works on unrooted Gingerbread devices and force closes on Honeycomb/ICS when you try to go to a video's page. On rooted devices you'll need to install OTA Rootkeeper then force close and re-open the video app. You can also freeze/defrost it with Titanium Backup.
Option #1 to Log in to Your Amazon Account:
Open the Amazon video app and find a video you want to watch. Tap the orange box to buy the video and log in with your Amazon account. Once logged in the prices in the orange boxes should adjust if you have Prime and you'll be able to watch videos. If you get an "Error Linking Device" proceed to option #2.
Option #2 to Log in to Your Amazon Account:
From a Kindle Fire ROM dump obtain and install MyAccount-unsigned.apk and com.amazon.dcp.apk. The files in this post should work even though its not a complete ROM dump. Now you can associate your Amazon account with your device just like you would a Google, etc account. From Settings, Accounts you should be able to add an Amazon account. Now go back into the Amazon video app and you should already be logged in and able to watch videos.
If you still get a "Your device is no longer configured correctly to play Amazon videos" error try restarting your device after you temp unroot with OTA Rootkeeper. Some devices, usually running CM roms have had issues with the error even after temp unrooting.
My understanding is that it will play instant video, although idk what app will do it.
Soon after mine arrives, I'll update?

When flash is discontinued, you won't lose your ability to view video. more than likely, they will replace it with HTML5. As long as thy don't go to Silverlight, you should be OK.
Ditto, though about the native app. Why hasn't amazon released this type of app?
Yeah, popped over to see if there was an apk for it to try on other devices. Would definitely want to give it a shot.
There is a native Amazon Video app on the Fire. The apk installed and ran fine on my Nexus S (although the layout was a bit wonky). The problem that I encountered is that there is no way to sign in to your account from the app.

Where is the apk?
Can you post the apk. Myself and others would be interested even if it doesn't work yet. Perhaps there is another app or service needed to get you logged into Amazon similar to porting android market to devices that don't have it. I also read that Amazon is releasing their source if that makes things easier. You'd think they would release Instant Video as an app but it is a selling point of the fire.
The apk is in system/app, and is called "ATVAndroidClient.apk"
here is the ATVAndroidClient.apk......havent tried it yet.
FC's when trying to watch movies, or view help. Must be due to sign in as mentioned previously. May need the accounts and sync apk installed.....
Looks nice though.
fwiw, post-rooting, myself and a couple others are no longer able to instant stream a video...

Sweet, and it works on the Droid 3.
What I did was tapped on an orange $1.99 button to buy an episode of a show. This brought up the Amazon login window and I logged into my Amazon account. Now that I'm logged in, it knows I have Prime Instant Videos for free so it lets me view everything.
There are some messed up parts of the GUI due to it only supporting the Kindle's resolution. I also noticed that once the on screen controls disappear during a video there is no way to get them back. I have to press the back button on my phone to exit back to the app, but luckily the app keeps your place, allowing you to resume.
Overall it is good enough to be usable, I watched a few minutes of Top Gear and Lost on it just fine. Both the Droid 3, Bionic, Razr, etc and the Kindle Fire have TI OMAP 4430, not sure if this has to do with anything.
EDIT:
Doesn't appear to work over 3G. You can browse videos but get the error "Playback over cellular network is currently disabled"

It won't work over 3G for me, it wants wifi. It will be better on a tablet I'm sure, some of the things like the search box, etc feel a little small on a 4" screen, but its still a lot easier than using a browser.
If you got it working on your Incredible 2 then it may not actually be GPU sensitive. Maybe this will end up working on a wide variety of devices. Makes you wonder if Amazon will release a version to the general public.

Apparently this app checks for root and gives this error even on the Kindle if rooted. The solution is to temporarily unroot with an app, details at this link:
http://phandroid.com/2011/11/16/rooting-kindle-fire-breaks-amazon-video-and-how-to-make-it-work/
I installed on my Bionic (currently removed the root while waiting for that update to show up) and it looked ok, a few graphic issues.
I tried to login, but it came back with a message to check my WiFi connection.
I didnt see a thread for this and saw it on the XDA new portal a while back and cant believe its not more popular. Im not the original developer of this app.
AppSync
Description: So if you're like me you have multiple android devices and all of them have your choice of games and such. But whenever you pick up your phone play a few levels on lets say Angry Birds but then want to play it on you're tablet, you then have to replay the levels just to get as far as you are on the phone. Not anymore, this app utilizes Wifi-Direct and will synchronize with your phone or tablet to the other phone or tablet.
Instructions:
Open the app on both devices. Then on the device you need sync'd (lets say i want my phones game progress on my tablet.) Then on the tablet you would select to sync withe android device present. Then it will bring up the list of apps you have that are the same as on the phone and tablet and you can choose to either sync the tablet to the phone or vice versa. When its done open up the app you sync'd and you'll see that its the same as on the phone.
Enjoy! I might post a video how-to or update with some screenshots if you can't figure it out. But it is pretty self explanatory.

I use DataSync
Same basic concept except it backs it up to the cloud. It also can auto detect other devices on the network using DataSync and pass login information if you desire. It backs up to Box and a few others. I like this because you can setup a schedule to sync. I have mine to sync only on WiFi, update only newer changed content, every night in the AM. Then, even if I leave my tablet at home, I can still sync with Box.net to get my latest app data.
Pretty cool. It really puts my mind at ease with having a Galaxy Nexus and a Nexus 7 with no removable storage. If something happens, all my stuff is backed up off the device.
Hello guys and girls,
I've been using the unofficial Amazon Video app (the one pulled from a Sony TV that's been floating around) for a while now and it worked pretty much OK (except for the functions triggered by the 4 coloured buttons).
But, because the update to Nougat, I decided to ditch the old app and use the one included with the update. Until my wife pointed out some obvious problems:
1. When the Shield goes to sleep (like when pausing the movie to go pop some more corn) the new Amazon Video app is closed. Restarting the movie implies restarting the app and navigate to the movie again. This was not the case with the unofficial app.
2. When restarting the movie, it is rewinded some 30 - 60 seconds, which is a little too much, especially when you've just seen that part 5 minutes earlier. This was not the case with the unofficial app.
3. The parental control seems to be active this time around. For example some episodes of Two and a half men need the pin code every time they are started and restarted. Problem is that we wouldn't need this feature at all, but cannot be disabled. Again, not the case with the unofficial app.
Have you noticed these quirks? Are they annoying to you too?
Sadly the old thread seems to have been deleted so I cannot recover the unofficial Amazon Prime Video app...
Wish you a great day!
I can't even get my Amazon Video app to load. I just get error message 1066 (this one) and all I can do is go back to the home screen
Amazon CS just denied that the Shield TV supports Amazon Video and Manuel Guzman from Nvidia can't pick up my error feedback, so no help really.

Just outta interest... And as I ran... (Well more like scatterbrained), also running into this Problem with Amazon. I would ask if your not running some kind of Proxy Service \ VPN App?
I happen to be currently using Keep Solids VPN, as it was One of the first such Apps to have appeared in the TV PlayStore. It worked better under Lollipop. But, I suspect the quriks with Nougat will improve a bit further down the road.
The uphsot of all this is, is if I forget to turn this Service back off again latter on, when I want to browe a bit on the Amazon App. It runs into nearly the same conditions such as you've described. Save being very, very lagy, and slow. When it actually does try to do something other than landing on a Black Screen.
I am using no proxy or VPN. There's no need for one or the other with the German Amazon Prime Video.

I do have VPN Unlimited installed but as I'm in the UK I have it disabled for Amazon Video as it's not needed.
Humm odd I'm from Germany (w/German Amazon), but am using VPN Unlimited, to purloin such Services, such as the BBC iPlayer, and as many US Catch-up Services that do NOT require a Cable Sub Login, to access it. Everything is working more or less.
Like I said sometimes I forget that I have it enabled to watch say iPlayer, than shut it down to play some Game or other. Than decide I go watch Some Top Gear um.. The Grand Tour, only to wonder what the heck was wrong with Amazon, and why it wouldn't load up, or if it did manage to load up. Why it would just sit and spin, till it timed out, with some Error. Which was near enough to the Ops Error Code. But I can't say if it was that very exact Code, or not.
It's about this time when I remember that I did in fact still have my VPN turned on. Once I go to the VPN Unlimited App, and then proceed to turn it back off again. It's at that moment when Amazon starts working for me again.

Humm odd I'm from Germany (w/German Amazon), but am using VPN Unlimited, to purloin such Services, such as the BBC iPlayer, and as many US Catch-up Services that do NOT require a Cable Sub Login, to access it. Everything is working more or less.
Like I said sometimes I forget that I have it enabled to watch say iPlayer, than shut it down to play some Game or other. Than decide I go watch Some Top Gear um..

It wasn't my VPN as I was disconnecting that but you got me thinking... I had a DNS service that I set up ages ago (and in fact don't even use) but it was still set in my static IP configuration in network settings!! I reset my network back to dhcp and it works now so THANK YOU so much. Amazon CS were useless and the the error message didn't tell me much at all.
