Live Tv
Get TV Live TV from the market. Live channels include, MSNBC,ESPN, FOX NEWS, GOLF CHANNEL, CNN, CARTOON NETWORK, DISCOVERY CHANNEL, NBC, ETC. I don't know how he's doing it, but I have MOBITV on my Fuze and AT&T charged me 9.99 a month for some of these same channels. All you need is Froyo 2.2 + Adobe 10.1. Another note, his streams are better ahead of TV MSNBC, or a few seconds behind. However, the quality is much better than paid app MOTV, and video sound is in perfect sync with picture. I wish i could rate it 10 stars for MSNBC alone.
Interesting mind posting a link? Through http://www.cyrket.com/ maybe?
What's the name of the app. I couldn't find it on the market.
eh if he's talking about http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.d3fc0n.android.livetv/
then it sucks..
Doesn't this just load through the browser?

Don't know what problem you are having with this app, but it works perfectly for me. You already posted that it sucks. That's your experience not mine. I can tell you the streams are way better quality then mobitv app, and most importantly it's free. Instead of being 2 minutes behind regular TV it's only a few seconds. Show's exactly what is being shown on TV. No video bull****. Live stream and puts it all in one place, so you don't have to go searching for these channels. I have the app on my desktop. One click to open and then go to channel I want to view, few seconds later it loads the stream. Watched some of Golf tournament on ESPN and looking at show on MSNBC now. What you want a TV guide with time of shows? It's free and it does what it needs to.

Oh so that is the app? It does suck. It seem like it just loads from a browser. The video isn't displaying very well as it scrolls. It very well may be better then mobitv as I never used it if so that is a shame. It doesn't show live streaming for me I checked my tv and compared. The same show wasn't even showing. (maybe it's because of the location I am at? Chicago by the way.) But I guess for a free app it's alright..

Maybe you're just hating on this app for other reasons unknown, but it definitely shows exactly what is on TV and streams perfect. Our experiences are exact opposite. Plus it's free. Move to Cali. LOL.

How hard is it to type in TV LIVE in the search bar in market? Unbelievable. You can lead a horse to water...
Ya, I tried it, not a big fan. Just opens streams in the browser.
i wouldnt say the app sucks cause it does work! However its a lil rough around the edges.
Yeah thanks for the suggestion. It is a little rough but definitely FREE and worthy of the post. It also looks like this app got released THIS WEEK! Some people were just born to hate. Look at "leofroyo's" first page on his thread to see examples of the douchebaggery around here sometimes. Again thanks!
wow thanks so much ..10000000 thanks woohooo!!! well big boss i am new here and i don't have a rooted nexus one .i have the latest frf91 but don't know what to do my main reason anyways there are a bunch most importantly the battery life.it suck big time .help me root my nexus one frf91 ..i will be forever thankful!!

Yep. Credit goes to the Dev. I'm just putting everyone on. I've been watching it on WIFI and it is cool for me. Don't know why anyone wouldn't give it 5 stars, cause it's free. Live channels all in one place, easy to access as shortcut on home screen. and "FREE". Once again it's FREE. LOL. Check out 1TVPC too if the economy isn't breaking you. It's affordable, unlike Jetflicks TV, it has live streams, movies on demand, sports, boxing etc.
I gota agree with the op an this one. I dont know how this app is working for everyone else but its workin pretty good for me. It does seems like its loadin from the browser tho an is alil choppy at times but other than that it works great

AGREE!-Its a little rough on the UI side but overall the function is there and thats what counts. If many of you bothered to read the devs description, its his FIRST EVER APP--cut him some slack...i get all local OTA channels 100%fine and some even 2-3secs earlier than my HAVA box (exact same as SLING but better IMO). My only complaint is low volume, and i would be more than willing to pay $5-SO LONG as he keeps adding channels and removing expired links/dead channels. ALSO my friend, you are the dev if im not mistaken but you are for some odd reason telling people to search for TV LIVE!??Why? If its called Live TV!?? I still cannot find a single app called exactly "TV LIVE"--maybe im talking about a completely different app, but this one is made by a Miguntu labs-i cant imagine someone not knowing the name of their own app tho--nwo im wondering....
Does anyone have the app running? Can someone dl it and see if it will let you register? Mine is having problems.
i had the trial running for a day or 2. then it asked me to activate it. since im a comcast user, it wouldnt let me. i think if youre using verizon fios, or regular internet, you can activate it. i think i will borrow my buddy's log-in info for his fios to activate my watch-espn.
just a side note, there are way better sites for watching sports, now that we have flash player on the Tbolt.
Everything works fine for me, I have Verizon FiOS. Streams live, good sound, good quality.
Like what?

atdhe.fm - my favorite. lots of everything
stopstream.tv - this one plays more of the popular games
espn3.com - the espn official online site. works good, but not a great selection.
rojadirecta.es - this one is kinda tricky, cant scroll on the phone, but can tether and then watch it on the laptop.
there is a few more. i just cant remember right now. got to dig through my bookmarks
veetle.com is another one. they have a mobile version of the site as well.
Time for another meaningless question (from me)...
I'm looking for a good audio player. I've been using the stock player, since it's the only one I've been able to use where the EQ actually works (external EQ's haven't worked at all for me for some reason)
So, here are my desires:
Good working EQ
Widget with cover art would be nice
MP3/FLAC/ALAC (not a firm requirement on ALAC) support
I'd prefer cheap, or at least a fully functional trial so I can decide if it's right for me. Most that I've seen that have a "Pro" or paid version have crippled the free version so it's not what I want (Winamp, doubleTwist, Rocket Player come to mind).
Recommendations? I don't mind paying for it, but I want to know what I'm getting into first.
Not using my phone for music but I heard people talking about pandora or something.
Regardless Isn't there some play store thing that after you buy an app you can get refunded 24 or 48 hours after?
Not interested in Pandora. I don't use my phone for internet based music, just music off of my sd card when working out or working in the yard.
try poweramp from the market.. it has all the feature you want as i was looking for something similar. I tried all other ones and didn't like them.
Poweramp is a trial and you can purchase the full version if you like it.. otherwise, you can just clear cache and reuse after 15 days.. :laugh:

Strangely enough, PowerAmp Trial is not available to install according to the Play website. Weird.
PlayerPro looks like it might be a good choice. I may give it a try.

Hey, here is one of the most used Apps ever. Pandora, but with no annoying Ads. It's the latest, and greatest. The OP is no longer on XDA. Also (like most .apks I host) can only be found on bad sites. Here's a 100% clean, download of the app.
http://www.4shared.com/android/dSbUYBRJ/Pandora_1515_Unlocked_Rydah805.html
Bugs: Unlimited Skipping can work, but causes issues. After 6 skips, there's.....
Hitting thumbs down won't skip a song
Waiting for a blank Ad to finish
Music might not just play.
Fixes: Just don't skip to many songs. Enjoy your Mix.
I'm surprised this thread hasn't garnered more attention. This is absolutely fantastic!

Been running since he posted it, I listen to Pandora probably 40 hours a week, and it works great! Only a few hangups (once in a blue moon) where it plays an ad but it won't play the sound or anything, it just goes through it like it's muted, still fine by me... Happens like 1 time every 6 weeks
I have tried using this stick for a couple days and I think it has some potential, but the interface is horrid. I'd like to start a discussion about how to modify, root, or at least find some apps that can help make this a better media option.
Anybody else got one yet or that can point me in the right direction?
It comes preloaded with 4.0.1, plex and the ability to sideload apps, so it should be pretty straight forward

What about a custum 4.2 update? would be great with the multiply account function for tv of the familie :good:
Since there is a usb port, does it come with drivers for a computer? And is it stock android with favi's hand picked apps/ui on it, or forked kinda like a kindle?
I just ordered one of these with the keyboard. I should be here on Monday. I am curious to see how this thing works out. I just want to use it for Netflix and HBOgo. Everything else will be a bonus. I will write a small review after I get my hands on it.
I saw this last night. It looks interesting but one of the few reviews on YouTube was horrendous. Nothing worked right. But then again the guy doing the review could be an idiot. I'm kind of thinking the latter is true.

I like the concept of multi-account. I am not sure the 4GB version I ordered could handle too much data (I believe there are duplicates of apps when using muti-account in 4.2, is that true?). Regardless, I think the 8GB version would be better setup to handle that.
In the last week, I haven't used the stick at all. that is partly due to being busy, but also having a bad taste in my mouth from my initial use of the stick (lack of usability) and being really frustrated with force closes, poor responsiveness and having to switch out HDMI cables to use it because I have too many devices connected and not enough HDMI inputs on my TV...but I digress.
I see that the XBMC Frodo Release Candidate 1 has been released http://xbmc.org/download/
my plan is to drop that on the smart stick this weekend (via the USB thumbdrive, I assume) and see how well it can handle it. My hope is I will get 1080 output, the new audio engine, PVR support and other nice goodies in the latest XBMC development and when it is stable and working well, to be able to grab my current XBMC user options folder and drop it into the stick.
Then I will have all my favorites, subscriptions, local network music/tv/movie folders, etc easily ported form my ATV2 iOS XBMC to the smart stick android XBMC....
I will report back and would like to hear if others have tried something similar.
I will follow this thread. Very interesting thoughts.
Do you know if you can control it with your phone/tablet?
Would be awesome to make my Nexus 7 into remote!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
you can control the stick using the Google TV remote app
Cool, thanks.
Do you have any idea if you can get a Google TV remote .apk somewhere? It's not available in my Danish Play store.
EDIT: Or maybe this one is viable? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.entertailion.android.remote

The reviews I have seen haven't been the best. I love the idea of this, but maybe its a little under powered. There are other ones out there that have dual core processors. According to Amazon, mine will be here on Monday. If its not up to the task, I might try one of the other ones which have dual core processors.
Ok, so it came early, and I was able to get it hooked up. I have been playing with it for awhile, and my initial impressions are not good. I don't know if it is lack of oomph with the processor, or terrible software, but this thing is barely usable for my needs.
I did download the googletv remote app. It works pretty well. Occasionally, it loses connection, but overall it works fine.
Initial setup is pretty painless. After getting everything up and running, I downloaded netflix and hbogo. Neither work very well. Netflix takes a long time to load and there is terrible lag. After a few minutes, it seems to get better. Because the app is made for tablet/phone, it doesnt work nearly as well with a tv, because of the lack of a touch screen to scroll with. It becomes an exercise in patients to get what you want on this app. The search feature works just fine, but for general browsing, it really isnt very good.
HBOGo is much worse. With big series such as the sopranos, it overwhelms the unit and things almost completely freeze up. There was no way to select any episode because of all the lag. I did a movie to load, but the resolution was subpar and the video is choppy. I have full bars and the Favi is right next to my router. HBOGo works flawlessly on my phone or tablet, but on the TV, it is really bad.
I love the idea of this thing, but i don't see me holding onto this unit very long. It really is a slow pile of junk at this point.
Unfortunately your experience sounds exactly like mine. I am wondering, hoping that the XBMC implementation may do a better job as it may utilize few resources

Upon reading more about the one from laptopmag.com, it comes rooted out of the box. and apparently although it cant reach 1080p resolution natively, some have been able to do so with custom roms, and being only 5 bucks cheaper makes it alot better. Thanks for those links!

720p is good enough.
I am looking at the last link I posted. The MK802 III. It has a 1.6ghz processor where the first link is only 1ghz.
Edit: Just saw the mk802 II on amazon for $37
I should have looked at reviews before I bought this thing, what a pile of crap... It's really terrible, so damned slow. I don't remember even my OG Droid being that slow at 1ghz, and it only had 256mb ram... I'd love to see it rooted with overclocking and CM10.1...
Ok, I've been playing around with this thing. I disabled all apps and processes which aren't necessary.
Stock Browser is terrible. I downloaded Opera and Chrome and they work better, but not great.
Youtube app works really good. No lag, high quality video and sound.
HBOGo is terrible on this thing.
Netflix takes a little time before it works, but it seems to be pretty good. After the videos load (which take too long), it has worked pretty flawlessly.
I uninstalled googletv app once my wireless keyboard came in. The googletv app worked ok, but was buggy. the wireless keyboard works much better.
Its still a little disappointing and a little unstable, but with some tweaks, it might be OK in the future. They have released a rooted access build. The bootloader is locked, so this will limit development. Because this thing was so cheap, I might hold onto it. I have been debating keeping it and hoping it gets better, or sending it back and buying MK802III. I have until the end of January to send back, so I will continue to play with it for now.

Well I just picked up the mk802 iii from Amazon for $69. The 1.6ghz proc. and 8 gig of storage. I should have it tomorrow. I will let you guys know. I could have gotten it cheaper but I didn't want to wait for it to ship from China.
