[Q] nfl rewind - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

anybody get NFL rewind working on the GS3? I have been using the firefox all year to watch 2012 games. In the last week or so, it stopped working. Only plays for about 10 seconds and then freezes.
it seems like the handling of the internet stuff has changed. Not clear if it's on their end or mine. I am running the lastest MOAR ROM. I also did a factor reset and cleared cache's without help. also loaded stock MD4, and didn't work.
any other ideas on why there would be a change?

A search and discussion from elsewhere on XDA indicates that the App will not work on rooted phones. Just from what I have read anyhow.

Unless your on TPR

Thanks, but I was asking about nfl rewind, not nfl mobile. I had been watching games using the firefox web browser. The nfl rewind app only works on tablets as far as i can tell. I must have been the only one using the subscription on my phone's web browser.
stopped working a week or so ago.

Ok. So I did a lot of searching and I found a program that seems to work. However, it's choppy on my connection. My wifi is slow. Is there anyone out there with fast Internet that can try it? I am using the slowest comcast speed. So if you have rewind and faster Internet, please try and report back.
I got it running with photon browser. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appsverse.photon

YouTube App "sorry there was a problem playing this video"

To start with im running a rooted evo (duh) and fresh evo 3.0.0.1
it was doing this prior to root..
It seems like no matter if i'm on wifi.. 4g.. or 3g.. the video constantly whether it be youtube or another video thats using the streaming media player.. it more than half the time will either give me a "sorry this video could not be played" error.. or the "sorry there was a problem playing this video"..
I've searched as much as i could bring myself to without going insane. So far i've read that stagefright settings could cause this. The cache not being cleared.. and that the youtube app just plain sucks..
So, what im trying to gather is first and foremost.. is this a known issue.. or is my phone messed?
thing i dont get if this is a known issue.. is this.. GOOGLE BUILT ANDROID.. and google flipping OWNS YOUTUBE.. why would is be an issue? lol
Any help would be great.. and if this is a known issue.. a sticky might be nice so others like myself dont go insane wondering why the iphone plays video flawlessly on youtube.. while the evo's youtube player simply sucks (so far from my experience.. )
please no flaming.. haha
79 views so far.. could someone at least post whether they're having the same issue or not? or someone they know? i assume i'm not the only one out there if theres that many people lookin at it in less than a day..
update though, i was running fresh evo 3.3.0.1... i am unrooting my phone now just to make sure its not something wonky with root.. i called sprint and talked to a rep, they said to just bring it in to see a tech.. honestly, side note.. the store where i got my phone from.. not the best customer service.. at all.. very short on the phone with every question.. etc.. blah. anyways.. ill keep updating as this moves forward.. hopefully this thread will help someone get some answers if i dont haha
Thanks..
The youtube app is crap. It has nothing to do with rooting. Until they offer an update you should use a browser to open the youtube videos. This will not trigger "a problem playing video" dialog crap.
I can't use the app for that same reason. Happens with certain videos, I think the ones that are "not optimized for mobile" or some such. I can watch them from my browser without issue.
I've been having the same issue for weeks now. I also have exclusively switched to watching videos in the browser. Never have a problem there. The YouTube app DEFINITELY needs an update. Especially with rewinding and fast forwarding videos.
ahhh good so its not just me. By using the browser do you mean loading it in desktop view? and playing via flash? im unrooted now and using dolphin HD.. much better browser imo.. however using the m.youtube.com site still crashes videos.. seems like any video i stream crashed out or can't play.. i'll try the desktop mode and see if i can get them to play in flash instead of the streaming media player..
Thanks
it must be the crappy roms you guys are using or you have poor coverage/reception/bandwidth.
The Youtube app works great for me. It plays everything in HD just fine. I used to have problems with it not playing videos on some older roms, but anything from the past couple months should be just fine.
I would die if I had to resort to using the browser to access Youtube.

The mobile youtube page isn't actually too bad - it's tons better then the regular youtube page, and is almost as usable as the app. But if you have stagefright set to false to fix pandora, then the mobile page won't work and you'll get that "could not be played" error.

I'm using the stock ROM, and have this problem.

I have the most bizarre issue with Facebook.. please help

A few days ago my Facebook app was loading pages super slowly, taking a minute or more to even load them. This isn't unusual, as the Facebook app sucks. I normally just switch to the mobile site and carry on. The thing is, the mobile site is loading super slowly too, and not just that, if I use Opera and force load the full site, even THAT is super slow. This is the only website that I'm having any problems with at all and it's happening regardless of my current connectivity state (wifi, 3g and 4G - its not discriminating.) I've searched the web and not seeing anyone else have this issue and it's continued on a trip I just took from KY to Chicago so I am absolutely stumped. Everything else, including all other websites are working perfectly. Does anyone have a clue what could be wrong?
I have the same issues. I can't even post a status from the app. More than likely it has to do with the roll out of the timeline profile. Its slowing don't their servers

Still having the same issue. Not happening to my girlfriend on the mobile or my work partner on sprint. Any suggestions?
Was having thisenissues until last night. Everything is now working at a normal speed although notifications are still not working for me (since 182 update)
force stop the app then restart the app this normally works
It's just the app. I'm on my home Wi-Fi and it hasn't gotten any faster. Never expect good things from Facebook. Period.

Games crashing without wifi or with airplane mode on

So I tried asking this on many threads but not many people seem to want to help, so I thought I'd just make a new thread about it.
Running ICS official rom, some games like where's my water and radiant HD just FC as soon as you start them ONLY if you're not connected to the internet or if you have airplane mode activated, yet they work perfectly fine with a connection.
Can anybody try this and see if it happens to you too, or if anybody knows how to fix it or any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks

This is happening to me too.
Although I have a Galaxy Tab2 7.0 ICS
It might be ICS that may be doing the force closing.
I too, am hoping that there is a solution here online.
Yeah it is indeed very annoying, especially when you want to play that specific game on a long trip and you don't have internet.

Post in this thread about the issue with Where's My Water. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469284
Temple Run is also another game that will not run without an active connection. When I go to Settings, data usage, I see the game has used some data.
For some reason, temple run seems to work with me without an internet connection, weird.

Netflix blocked?

Hello all.
I used the trevmod to get tethering working on my device and everything up until today has been working great and could access everything with just the user agent mod.
But today I got the dreaded push message about tethering when watching netflix and doing homework. Web browsing still worked but my netflix stopped.
Has anyone else noticed that netflix is being blocked from tethering somehow now?
Anyone possibly know a way arround it?
I have installed hotspot shield on my phone and that didn't seem to make a difference.
It's not Netflix specific.
I've been throttled pretty much for the last couple months. Nav and cyan Pandora. Went out of town. Netflix takes up more data than Google

Not so much that it's throttled but actually blocked desktop streaming some how.
I started streaming ok then got the push message to my phone saying it was blocked.
Like somehow, even with user agent string being changed, it counted the streaming data of Netflix toward the free 100 mb before blocking even though never did before.
But yet, with user agent being changed, the web browsing itself never got blocked.
Even with the default ie9 user agent wasn't blocked either. Just Netflix streaming.
No one else has seen this?
I tried again today and in a different area just to make sure was not a fluke and had the same problem.
So now one else that does the work arround onT-Mobile tethering has noticed their netflix streaming is somehow blocked?
Tethering still works perfectly fine it is just the netflix that don't work.
Download hotspot shield vpn on the android market and run the vpn on ur phone. Connect with trev mod like normal and you wont need the user agent switcher. The way it works is it blocks tmobile from seeing the type of data you are using and they wont know you are tethering.

[Q] Play Music All Access not working?

Are there any solutions for the problems the LGOG has with Play Music All Access?
As-is, songs stop playing about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way through, with the error "Music temporarily unavailable. Couldn't play the stream you requested."
This happens regardless of network connection... It was fixed when I tried out CM10, but it had so many other stability problems that it wasn't worth keeping as a daily ROM.
Apparently a lot of LGOG users have this problem, should I just cancel and go with Spotify? I really like All Access, but if there's no solution for the errors I guess there's no option.
I really liked the service, but couldn't stand the errors anymore. I canceled and went with spotify.

The only solution I found was to flash an aosp or aokp rom. Everything else I tried and even stock based roms I errored out.
I was thinking about going back to spotify but I like Google music so much better.

Still broken
Got the new version (v5.2.1224L) this morning. At first I thought it might be working but after a couple of songs, it resumed this annoying behavior.
