[Q] Just want Xfinity app to work via Ethernet

Last summer I had my Fire TV rooted and set up with Xposed to fake Wifi access so that I could use my Xfinity app via ethernet. Previous to that I was using FOX-FI and my phone as a Wifi hotspot but Metropcs blocked the ability to do so.
All was well until the unit started turning itself off a few months ago. I was sent a replacement that I believe was a refurbishment and it NEVER updates (i.e. never updated to the Prime option on the left side of the menu) -- which would be great except I haven't been able to root it (most likely it's unrootable). Now I have a 3rd one and I just need to know how I can run my Xfinity TV GO app on it (after it's sideloaded) without having to use WIFI. Also, where is the list of serial numbers or whatever it is that allows one to know if the box can be rooted?
Thanks in advance.

The newest version of Xfinity Go does work over ethernet. I do have a lot of buffering issues when trying to watch on demand video though.

Really? I'll download the new app then sideload it to see if I'm still being told to connect via Wifi. I'll update later.

I'm getting the errror message "Sorry ,we are experiencing some difficulties. You can continue using the app, but not all areas may be working." What do you think the problem might be? I searched for this particular error but only viewed unanswered questions.

And when I went to 'Bookmarked' This popped up:
"An unknown error occurred during this request. Please try again.
Instantiation of [simple type, class com.xfinity.playerlib.model.tags.Network] value failed: Invalid int: """

Are you sure you have the newest version? Its at version 2.4.2. When I tried an older version, I would get that error about experiencing difficulties. But the new one works fine. And you should get a popup about it working with mobile data the first time you open it.

Yep. I went and downloaded the lastest from Google Play after typing my response. This one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xfinity.playnow

Hmm, did you get the popup about mobile data now working at least? I have no clue why it wouldnt work for you unless you are on an old version.

It's still not working. I included the link to the version I installed today. So, I'm not sure what the problem could be. There's a version of Xfinity for X1? users with cloud that I don't believe applies to my account. I've retried it a few times now and it shows the same message

If you don't see that mobile data popup then you likely do not have the newest version. Downloading from play store may not always get you the newest version because the version it lets you download is based on what device you download it from. Google "xfinity go apk 2.4.2" and find it that way and make sure you are downloading version 2.4.2.002. If that doesn't work, I have no more advice for you because I have no clue what the issue is.

I tried installing that same file on the older rootable device that won't update and the new non-rootable one and it's the same "experiencing difficulties" error. I was able to navigate to the 'Live' streaming area and when clicked to view a channel I got the "No Wi-Fi Connection. You must be on Wif-Fi to stream video content." pop-up. So, that's the true issue --- this version isn't ethernet compatible. I also tried to google for that apk and there were only a few sites that didn't seem to be safe. Would you be able to upload the apk that you have working via Ethernet?

usually, i was getting error 495 from play store which in most cases mean bad INTERNET provider.
I don't know exact solution, but for me i had to reset the phone for other reasons and it worked after that.
so first check for he error, or try to download it for other websites with md5 check (so u know that download file is not corrupted).

Google pay says rooted but bootloader locked

I just installed Android Q beta 3 and tried setting up Google pay but it keeps saying I'm rooted or my device is altered.
I have a locked bootloader and bootloader unlocking is disabled in settings.
I was in Carbon rom before with magisk. Flashed stock Android P just to make sure nothing would go wrong. Relocked bootloader right after. Any suggestions?

Same here. Not rooted and bootloader is locked. I remember this happened last year as well. Google has to update play services I believe.

Okay, I'll keep a look out for Google play update. Thanks!

Reading the download page would have helped as this is a known issue in Beta 3. Suggestions: wait for the next beta or else go back to Android 9.

The download page said the same as the first 2 betas and Google pay still worked. And apparently still working for some.

Odd. I probably have the wrong page in mind. In any event, this is something Google is aware of.

Should be fixed now. Try clearing play store data and readd card. Works for me now.

Netflix is gone.

Suddenly Netflix app is gone in my Moto G5S, android 8.1. I searched trhough the internet and here and i didn't found any clue. Netlix isn't listed in play store in my device. Is anyone else going through this problem? It seems a problem between motorola and netflix.
Thx.

I tryed install via apk downloaded and didn't worked. I will try to sideloading, thx.
Edit. I sideloaded the apk downloaded in Netflix site. The app opens and imediately pop up a msg saying "This device is not compatible". This is very weird, a few weeks ago it was working. The last time that i updated this Moto G5S was in february.

Make sure you're downloading the armv7 version of the app. Also, have you tried fastboot flashing the latest stock ROM?

Problem solved. I just cleaned the data of Play Store and the Netflix app is back in Play Store to download. Now it's working. Don't know why this happened, but it's ok now. Thanks for all.
I think this topic can be closed.

Note 10+ Disney plus not compatible?

So Disney plus launched today. I am on Verizon unlimited so I got a free 12 months. I went to install the app from the playstore and I got the 'Your device isn't compatible with this version' error. I'm on the latest ASJ8 build. Anyone else out there experience this? The only thing I can think of is maybe because I am on the beta google play services? I tried sideloading the apk also but it won't install. I can still go through the website so it isn't a huge deal right now but would like the app to work.

I found an apk that would sideload on my phone so got it installed anyways. Still don't know why its showing as not compatible in play store.

Yea same here cant download the app. Could be a mishap on their end. Doesnt surprise.

Interesting, it installed on mine

Installed on mine. Sprint Note 10+

I installed disney+ app from playstore.
T-Mobile

Installed from the playstore just fine for me as well (Verizon).

Same. Had no problem installing on mine. I've seen this all over the place today, though...not sure why it's not working for all of us unless it's a region thing.

Did you guys change your dp if so change it back to default 411

Today I was able to install on my tmo N10+. But cant log in. Enter user name which is email address and get an error code. So is this isolated to the n10+. My wife tried it on her s10+ and shes in.
Will have to try my fire TV's and sammy tv when I get home.

The one I downloaded was from apkpure.com and downloaded whatever the latest version was at the time. I also had to download the pure apk installer on their website because their files are in .xapk format. Installed from there with no issues. You can uninstall the pure apk installer program after you are done.
My problem seems to have fixed itself as originally after I installed if I pulled up disney+ in the playstore it would still tell me it wasn't compatible. There error is gone now and the app updated through the playstore. So a glitch on disney or googles end seems like the culprit as I haven't changed anything else.
Hopefully the file from there will work for you if you haven't tried already.

I had the same problem on my S10+, but that was because I was on the OneUI 2.0 beta, which fails the SafetyNet check for DRM. Sideloading the APK from Apkpure worked like a charm, and then I ended up going to the Note 10+, which I had no issues installing from the Play Store on that device.

I can't download the file from apkpure. No result found
