i got myself a samsung captivate i896 firmware 2.1 eclair.uxji2 ( i have no idea what this all means) oh and i've never rooted because i don't know what it all means and why i have to do that.
all i know is i cannot watch any videos or play any music from internet sites like radioblogclub, imeem, etc.
all i can use are youtube and crunchyroll application i installed and my music player from the phone's icon. the urmusic application which was installed when i bought the phone doesn't even startup. it waste up my space i tried to uninstall it but the installment process wasn't even done yet. so i couldn't even uninstall it much less delete it. sigh.
anyway, how can i watch videos on internet sites when i am connected to wi-fi? it keeps on asking for adobe flash player and i tried to look for it in the market and install it but it kept telling me my system requirements are not enough for the plugin to be installed. i need to install adobe flash player to be able to watch through the internet? my audio doesn't even work when i tried imeem.
please help.
You need FroYo 2.2 for Flash. Have you rooted or anything?
I suggest checking out these threads and doing some reading.

Enjoy your new phone!
Being the i869, we have something the i897' s don't have, official froyo. Download kies from either samsung site or rogers site (in support), follow the instructions on the website. Upgrade to the ofw 2.2 froyo. Start there, if you don't like that root, and try different roms.

I Am new to this site. First i would like to say, i have been watching from the sidelines for a few days, and decided its best if i join, and show support to all you hard working people.
After reading and researching for a few days, I have a a basic knowledge on how to modify phones, all from you guys- THANK YOU!
Next....
I have an Evo 3d, and been reading up on it avidly. I have it rooted, and currently have synergy rom.
My problem is I have it flashed to cricket ( metro ) Talk and text work, and my 3g comes up briefly when the phone is started, but then the automatic hands free activation comes up, and kills the interent. I was told to download a custom rom and this should fix the problem, i have tried 3., and still cant get rid of this message.
I have searched this site high and low for a fix, but cant find it, if anyone could help me out. that would be GREATLY appreciated. I have been running iwthout internet for 4 days now :/
Thanks in advance!
If its an app you should be able to remove it on your PC. Also try removing it with root explorer or the terminal emulator.
Hello, This post is intended for users where the following list of conditions below are true, although I'm obviously more than happy for any others to put in any input....
You own a Desire S
You live in the UK
You have a SKY TV subscription (or the house you live in does)
You have a SKY ID user login and have registered your device to access SKY Go
You have installed the SKY GO applicaton
Your device is rooted
You are running a GB based ROM (ie not ICS)
SKY have written then application so that it won't work on rooted devices, even though some people on other devices have managed to bypass this. Some users have had success in using the application OTA RootKeeper which backs up and then hides a devices root (su) - which out of interest will permit rooted users from successfully using Google Play (aka The market) for downloading and watching movies.
No matter what I do now, use the hide root (su) app which works fine, clear the data from SKY Go, de-install it and then re-install the app, when I put in my SKY ID credential I always get the following erorr "PIN Error You have entered an incorrect PIN" (see attachment for screen shot) even though there is no PIN to enter as part of the setup (its not related to my SKY box PIN as that is working fine and I've configured SKY Go to not require any age restrictions)
I would really love to resolve this as want to be able to watch Football from my wonderful device when I'm away from home, and I can't even consider returning my phone to stock in case anyone suggests that.
This application annoyingly hasn't yet been updated by SKY to function on any ICS ROMs.
This is the official link to the SKY Go App thread but is is multi device and therefore in excess of 50 pages with greater than 1500 posts mostly of people saying doesn't work on my device...so I thought I would trap up my local resources (eg you).
[APP] Sky Go for Android (UK ONLY)
As always many thanks to anyone that's even read this far , let alone who bothers to add anything....Cheers
Much as I'd love to help you mate, I'm kinda stuck. It turns out that you can only use Sky Go if you re a direct Sky customer - no use to me as I subscribe through my Virgin Media package. Bit peed-off at that discovery to be fair.
The app fires up OK on my Desire, but I obviously can't sign in. I'm going to chat to a mate of mine about 'borrowing' his Sky details so I can test it on my phone and I'll let you know if I get anywhere with it.

That would be much appreciated. When I first downloaded the Sky Go app I was able to log into it ok, but I was unable to access the channels through it (as the device was rooted).
At that point I had an entry in the Settings-> Accounts & Sync for Sky Go
If I now attempt to add the sky go account through settings add account, when logging in with the correct credentials (that work on the sky website) I also get the same PIN error as shown in the attached screen shot on post #1
it seems that since I've un-installing and re-installing the app (or it may have been auto updated by the market) I can't seem to get that account back as I get the PIN error on entering my sky credentials now, even though previously they went into the app without any issues.
Let me know if you get hold of your mates SKY details and that would assist greatly, this may be a non-starter but would appreciate at least one other person trying!
Thanks

Errhhgg!! bloody iBollox, unfortunately I know it works on that pile of ####...thanks all the same though.
For some stupid reason SKY have had an iPhone application for years and have only just realised that the majority of the world actually uses Android so have finally released a poor quality Android based application (which doesn't even work on ICS showing their real level of commitment and the degree in which they're taking Android seriously!)
My selfish prime concern - is all about rooted GB though, much appreciated that you're willing to try to give it a go though....Much Thanks

Ok, sorry for the late reply!
Believe me, it wasn't my choice on the iPad
I'm already frustrated with the lack of homescreen customization on it! And lack of utility apps (widgets, shortcuts etc)
Ok, didn't get a chance to try it on the Sky Go app, I can't find the bloody ID stuff, so instead I downloaded Google Movies.
This app requires you to NOT be rooted.
I ran the app first, and it came up saying I couldn't use it, as I was rooted...
Then I ran the app you said, and 'disabled' root. Then I ran Google movies, and it is working now! It's detected my device as unrooted! I didn't even reboot after 'disabling' or close the Movie app!
So, the app definetly works... But I couldn't test it on Sky GO, only Google Movies. But the sane theory should apply right? Maybe you could try it on Google movies? Then we can See whether it May just be sky Go not detecting.
Hope that is of some help!

Some screenshots if it helps!
1) I first ran play movies app
2) I used the app to 'unroot/disable root' the device
3) I ran Google play movies, and it worked!
Appreciate the effort Oly,
Unfortunately I'd already tried the un rooting and google market
Was just the sky id and sky go bit that I needed verifying
From home using your sky box which will show your viewing card number and other details that along with some personal stuff like name and address should enable you to get a sky id setup
In order to test sky go or no go as it's been for me
No hurry, thanks all the same
Fortunately my wife has an un rooted DS so I can use her phone if I need, but you know how it is, I want it to work on mine

Sent from a Desire S waiting for Kernel 3. WAKE UP HTC!!!!
I don't get the pin error so can't help with that.
I can open the app and view channels but they just buffer at 0% forever. With the exception of sky new which restarts the app.
I tried flashing a pre rooted stock rom and hiding root using voodoo and I was able to watch sky news but premium channels still didn't work. From reading the thread in the android application and games folder it looks like you need to edit the default.prop within the kernel as well as hide root.
I don't have a clue how to do this but I'm going to give it a go when I get time later! Hopefully we can get it working I'm surprised more people aren't working on this as it has the potential to be one of the best android apps out there
See this thread for details on the changes needed to the kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535688

Looks I have to use a stock based rom so have edited a stock rom just about to flash here's hoping it works!
A stock ROM that is a Bugger, I love Endy too much to move from it
Swyped from my DesireS
I know what you mean mate but for Sky Sports on my my phone I think I can live with it!
I have attached the modified boot.img if you want to try it I can confirm it is working for me using Hyperion V2.1 with the boot.img modified and root hidden using voodoo
Well that's well worth it, brilliant work.....THANKS
If only I hadn't recently deleted my old backup of that ROM, I suspect one may still be on my PC
I wonder how it checks to see if we're on stock? Did you see if it works on stock sense v3.0?
Is it worth editing the build.prop file and replacing values, in an attempt to fool it further? without having to switch bases?
When I get an opportunity (probably the weekend) I'll try that.
Swyped from my DesireS
I used Hyperion v2.1 and changed so.secure to 1 within the default.prop in the kernel.
Great Rom on its own anyway think i'll just stick with this until another solution is found.
Here is a link to download it from my dropbox. http://db.tt/VISCrZ2y
Let me know if you managed to get it to work on Endy!
Just hide root BEFORE you install the sky go app and it should work fine.
I am using CM9 but still cant get this to work I have tried hiding root and using the modded skygo but still no luck. really do not want to go back to stock rom.
I am guessing nobody has had any more joy with this?
I use my samsung galaxy s2 to watch movies on other devices. I connect it to my dvd player, and in the dvd player. Select the movie that is located on my phone. For some reason, when I'm connected to dvd player, computer, my phone will freeze up for a few moments. Work. Then freeze again. It is rooted, with cyanogen mod. If there is anything coding I can add to it in order to fix this. Or maybe an application. Or something that will fix this. It will be much appreciated. You may email me in order to inform me. Idk if I will receive the response threw email unless emailed too. I appreciate your time and help even if there is no fix for this.
Hi,
We need more device details to point you towards help. There are several S2 models.
But I can say that many glitches will be present on anything above official 4.1.2 touchwiz firmware. If you're having troubles, it's probably best to flash the latest official stock firmware and see how it is. If it's OK, then it's a rom issue, and you should ask for help in the thread you downloaded the rom from.
Thanks!
apologies if this isnt allowed here. new to the forum.
