[Q] HBO GO - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

HBO GO is now live. Anyone with a Transformer tried it?

Doesn't show in the market on mine, but does on my Fascinate.

I don't see it in my market either

If you go to market.android.com you will see that it is not supported yet. However, if you find an apk somewhere and side load it, it may work just fine although I haven't tried it yet.

Doesnt work says device not supported.

on the market.android.com site I can't put it on any of my devices, they're all grayed out. Milestone, Atrix, Xoom or Transformer.. I don't know why it wont load onto my Atrix.. Is it because I'm in Canada?

Bummer. I am at work so didn't have a chance to try but I hoped. I was able to see and download it from the market on my Samsung Epic 4G and it works fine.

Yup, I just saw this on Engadget:
"Update: Sorry Android users, but it looks like the only supported versions for the Android app are 2.1 - 2.3.3. However, we're getting reports that it does function in the browser -- so long as you've got Flash installed, of course. We're also told that the HBO Go site works just fine on the PlayBook as well."

If u click on the android police link it take u to the HBO go on market from your asus /Acer but when u click download it says your device not compatible...wtf? Lol

not working for me
So I cant figure out what I'm doing wrong, on my laptop it works fine but when I go to the website with my transformer it just gives me the screen showing the coming soon for ipone, android, etc screen, no option to login. I have flash loaded and it is working fine everywhere else. Am I doing something wrong?

Not in market yet, and I can't get the site to open either from my transformer.

Set your user agent to desktop and be sure to use the stock browser.

I have been loving Game of Thrones. Can't wait for the end of the season to read the book. A buddy of mine told me about the series and then said they might be making a show (early 2010). I have waited patiently and am ready to start "A Song of Fire and Ice"

Netflix?

anybody got netflix working for the infuse? i tried the stock 1.2.0 and modded 1.2.0 before seeing that 1.2.1 is out and doesnt have device check anymore so it doesnt need to be modded but its still closing the program after i log in.
1.2.1 apk: http://db.tt/wDtOm1L
Yeah, I tried as well this morning with the same results. BTW just wanted to note my infuse is rooted.
Rooted infuse with no device check apk same result
tried. Installs fine, but closes after trying to sign in
I am able to sign in and utilize all of the apps features including navigating my instant queue, but it shuts me down when i try to play.

it only works with gingerbread on the hummingbird. on a snapdragon it works on 2.2 because quallcomm has a deal with netflix. i guess the drm support is different.

Thanks for the the 1.2.1 download. I was able to get the 1.2.0-No device check.apk version to install and launch. Everything but streaming is working (i.e. add to queue, search, etc.). One thing I haven't tried yet is to 'deactivate' one of my devices that I use to stream Netflix. Remember, you only get 6 unique devices at a time. I had to do this when I got my AppleTV2 and realized that between the xbox360's, blu-ray player and the multiple iphone/Pads in our house, that I had run out of activations (got a message that the ATV2 couldn't access Netflix Instant, blah, blah, blah... a similar one to what I'm getting when I try with the Infuse), so I deactivated the blu-ray and was able to use my ATV2 just fine.
Will post if this works.
deactivating devices doesnt make a difference. and i dont appear to be limited to 6 devices anymore, i now have 9.
What it's going to boil down to is to modify a gingerbread rom and most importantly a kernel to get it onto an infuse. That's the only way we're gonna pull this off.....
Or just wait. =]

I understand where you are coming from but, since they were claiming that it was working I just wanted to get someone else to try other than me with their .apk

i tried all the apks i could find, none worked. im not convinced though that its the hummingbird processor and it needs gingerbread. there just happens to be one hummingbird phone its officially listed for, the nexus s, and it naturally has gingerbread.

[Q] Order and Chaos (gameloft) ?

Gameloft just released Order and Chaos online for Android and I was wondering if anyone has tried it for Transformer yet?
I just searched for it on the Google and Amazon markets and didn't see it.

Market link: Order & Chaos Online
it starts then it says:
"your device is not compatible, please request a refund"
edit: just found a tegra 2 version. going to try it out.
Nope, not working. Someone said it works on the Acer Iconia A500.
Dude, you have to report if you got it working ! that looks like awesomeness =)
Maybe someone could try editing their build.prop to make it work? I purchased it on the market and it works on my Captivate. I saw a thread on the gameloft forums where it is working on Gtablets. I installed it on my Transformer but get the error message that it isn't compatible even though I downloaded the tegra 2 resource files and put them where they need to go. If a simple build.prop change could fix this that would be fantastic. I'm not rooted and left the cable at work so I can't root to try it. However if anyone rooted gets it working I will definitely be rooting. I was hoping that after purchasing it on my phone it would show up on my Transformer under uninstalled purchased apps but no go

no go. Tried the build prop from lg optimus and acer iconia tab. stil says device not compatible. I dont get why gameloft wouldnt make an effort to have this tablet ready on launch.I guess its honeycomb. Im so disappointed. I doubt they wil ever add tablet support. They are pretty lame with updates
oh how I want a fix for this. Until then I'll use my thunderbolt but this would be so much better on a 10.1 inch screen
There is an "AllDevices" version now available which install, updates and runs to a point.
I managed to create a new character and accept the first quest before getting a FC.
Haven't tried further so far but going to give it another go.
The screen doesn't seem to quite fit, a small portion appears to be lost at the top.
Managed to complete a few more quests before the next FC.
FPS looks sparodic and like I said the screen isn't quite right, some text missing from top of pop up windows etc, buttons take a couple of presses to register sometimes but all in all looks a good game and quite playable without the FCs.
nice, did a search for "all devices version" loaded my char up and I've had no isuues so far
What rom/kernal/version of honeycomb are you using? I installed it and it force closes after about a minute in in game

How do you get the all devices version or tegra2 version or whatever, should I just buy from the market? Wanna try this out
I can't manage to get this to run without force closing after a few minutes. Ice it doesn't force close for you?

Not working (well) for me either on gt10.1. Rooted just so I could edit the build.prop, but none of them seem any better. Top ¼ of the screen is cut off and force closes after a few minutes. I got the the backend files from - mobile phone talk dot com.

[Q] NBA Game Time 2011-2012/NBA.TV

Hi,
I have a request. Does some know how to make NBA Game Time 2012-2012 or NBA.TV app work on kindle fire. I tried through android market but it says that my device is not compatible.
Do you have any advice to solve this problem ?
(If by any chance you have the apk to install this I would really appreciate sending my liknk through PM)
Best regards,
I will ask differenlty ;-)
May someone from US who has access to Android Market, download NBA Game Time 2011-2012 and make backup of it and then post a link to a apk file so we can test if it works on Kindle Fire?
Thank in advance!
I need the app also. I have a dell streak 7 from t-mobile that I reloaded with the streak 7 honeycomb rom. Now the app wont install because it allows streak7 t-mobile but not the wifi that the honeycomb rom is based off of. Its too smart for its own good.
I pulled the APK from my Inc2, and it's odd since it's buried in another spot, not in /data/app.
I tried to install it on my kindle (unrooted) but it would get stuck at the splash screen. Anyways, here's the apk.

I will try it at home and post results here
i dont think that will work- pkg.apk is for sprint broadband nba.
The file which was included above do work on Kindle Fire. I didn't try mobile league pass because I'm not in US.
I also istalled NBA.TV app which supposed to be not only for US users and it also works on Fire but it's not dedicated for tablet so for instance I can't login to international league pass because of screen issue.
Hope it helps
I was able to install it on my Transformer, using the above link, as it wasn't in the market for me, or any other tablet user. Everything works ok, except on videos I only have audio, no video. Hopefully they update it to support all tablets, including the Fire.

That's kind of weird though since I have a Verizon device. It was the only apk that showed up when i searched nbagametimelite
I was just thinking though that maybe it's getting stuck because it's trying to do a location check?
It wasn't for Sprint broaband only but regular one. The Sprint NBA Game Time blocks me just at the beginning, this works just fine
I chatted with customer support and they say that they are working on application for android tablets but they can't tell me when we can expect it though
Could you please upload NBA.TV application too?

The pkg.apk posted works perfectly on my HP Touchpad. When I went to the Market, it stated the app was only available on my Nexus One due to carrier restriction.
The apk.pkg works fine on my Kindle Fire with the amazon OS. was watching the free LP trial earlier

I have a galaxy tab 10.1 and I got the app from your link however I can't get any video. I just get audio can someone tell me if they have the same problem and how they fixed it.
I got the same issue!!

seems kinda hit or miss. sometimes ill get a force close trying to access a video, then ill reload the app and be able to view it fine. works perfect on my phone though.
now, if we just had a workaround for the local blackouts, id buy this.

Hbo Go

Hey guys, from what I understand, the hbo go app used to say this device is not compatible but I recently tried sideloading again using the barebones cm7 Rom which is preconfigured to have a modified build.prop so it can use more apps. So basically it starts up now and I can use it but the problem is that it force closes the moment I click sign in. Is there any solution?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda premium
It's worked for me on every version of CM7 that I've tried.
I am running CM 9, so of course it is different, but the issue may have to do with the Kindle itself. I spent some time yesterday on tracking down the APK, even going back to earlier versions and it will not run for me at all.

try this it works on my kindle
turn off your wifi
install hbogo
when it ask to connect to internet then turn on wifi
then you can add your user account info and HBOgo works
the only drawback ive experienced is that you have to turn off wifi and repeat this every time you use HBOgo
but it does work for me

Yes, every little bit of info may be useful to someone.
I am not sure if others have had issues with HBO Go since the May 4th update. I started getting the force close and was unable to sign in again. Well I am happy to report after finding an older version of the apk file on this very site - I am up and running again. It is the HBO Go 7 apk file.
Does anybody have an older version of the Max Go apk?
I hope this helps some of you.

Anyone have any luck getting this to run with any of the CM9 ROMs? I just get the not compatible message and nothing else. The trick of turning off wifi doesn't make any difference here.
It was updated recently (last week) and now works with cm9, I was using it today.

Really? Still not working for me. Using the 1.4 version and still getting the "HBO GO is not supported on this device" message. I am on the Reloaded CM9 ROM. Which one are you using? Do you still have to use the workaround from the stock ROM (turn off Wifi, start app, turn it back on)? That also does not seem to work for me.
I used it today as well. I am on hellfire ICS 1.2.
I am using the stock rom but it still does not work

I am now seeing news stories that say Kindle Fire will get HBO GO app support on June 10 with the start of the new True Blood season. Check it out. Wonder if that means it will work on CM9 ROMs?
This is what worked for me.

What the Hell !

So Xbox smart glass app came out yesterday. My friend has it on his Samsung Galaxy S 3. I have it for my old ass HTC HD2 running a 4.0.4 ICS ROM but for some stupid [email protected]#$%&* reason I can't see it in the marketplace when checking with the tablet. So installed it on my HD2 so I would see it in my "ALL" downloaded section and it says not compatible with your device. WTF!
So does anyone know why this would be? I would think my Tab would be able to use it before my 2/3 year old HD2
Sorry. Rant over:laugh:

Don't know if that will work. When i use the tablet to check every app I have downloaded it does show the app but says not compatible with your device.
I googled it and it seems tablets don't have access to it yet. At least not the NOTE10.1

Same here, on the market, but not compatible
D'argo, he.so.fuuuny
"No"
"Yes"

Just side loaded
Sided loaded this app and it retains the same orientation as the phone app. I hope that they are working on a tablet version of this app. I think it is pretty nifty
A good amount of the "not compatible" apps in the market can be side loaded with no ill effects. Also 1mobile is decent because they let you load any free app.
