Just thought I'd share some news I saw this morning:
Hulu Plus for Android
Hopefully, we will see the Thunderbolt added to the compatibility list... or maybe a Dev will take a look at it.
+1, I have a HULU subscription and not a Netflix. I have been waiting for this and of course the T-Bolt is not supported but My X that i sold. "sigh"...Please HULU or devs....make this work, i will be forever greatful.
Has anybody tried to download the apk and install it on the Thunderbolt? Is it the same error we originally had with Netflix? (Unsupported device)

I did install it and that is basically the error that I received.
Could someone explain in terms if hulu and netflix, what makes one device compatible and another not. I mean the tbolt should be better in every aspect than the droid x (hence my upgrade) yet it works on that device. Someone mentioned that it works on the HTC inspire. How is that different than the tbolt?
Just hack flash and run it in the browser, works just fine there

The app checks the phone model and refuses to run if it isn't on the built in whitelist. I am sure there will be a patched .apk with the device check removed soon.

That sucks even more. I thought there was some real technical hardware or software reason but thats just plain model discrimination.
Wonder how HULU decides on this wish list
Thats what I dont understand... Isnt the HTC thunderbolt and HTC Inspire have the same specs besides the Network bands... Why release for the Inspire and not the thunderbolt??
how do you guys have netflix? is it from GB?
Hulu Plus appears to be available for Froyo phones, good for many of us (Inspire and Atrix I know are both on Froyo)
One would think someone will hack it just like Netflix. Who knows how these companies are deciding what devices to support but it's frustrating!
There has been a hulu hack out for a while now. I have been running hulu since the hack like 2 months ago. If you are rooted you can use hulu

Awesome! Been waiting for this.
Smh getting so sick of android man
You could probably edit the build.prop so that your phone identifies itself as one of the supported phones to get it to work. I don't have a hulu plus account and frankly i don't care enough to test

After reading through someone's logcat while running hulu plus, it only seems not to work because it's sniffing your phone type. Just need to edit the app to not detect it or as mentioned already, change your build properties. I dont have hulu+ so can't really find the solution easily myself.

Coming from wp7, android fragmentation can definitely be frustrating. Seeing other devices run something you can't is just part of android I guess. Not to mention that some games won't ever come to the bolt either.

lol agreed.. this device can run this, but cant run that. Total BS. I could understand if there were hardware limitations or something but it just seems like arbitrary garbage now.
So all apps are from Amazon app store right? Do does Amazon store has all apps we can find in market?

This should be in general, but supposedly, you will be able to sideload apps. So say the rumors

Amazon app store does not have all apps. I recently looked for dice player and chromemarks since I had extra cash on my gift card and could not find them. Hopefully that changes in Nov when it releases.

Someone will probably intogtate the android market once it gets rooted and a custom rom comes out. I'll be getting it and will want to root it asap

Amazon App store
I installed the Amazon App store on my tablet but when I tried to download a free app I was informed I was in an unsupported market: Canada.
I beleive (assuming) this has to do with copyright laws. A lot of their kindle devices aren't available in Canada due our different copyright laws.
Something to look into if you are counting on the app store.

If you do infact live in canada, Check out the unblock-us.com service. You'd be able to set it up on your kindle fire assuming you can change the DNS address book.
I use it for US netflix <3
Paid apps
I just got the Fire today. I went to install Ultimate Tabs, which I had purchased on the Android Market and had previously installed on my HTC Eris and then my HTC Incredible 2.
With the Fire, you have to use Amazon's App Market, so I went looking for Ultimate Tabs there and found it. But now they want me to pay for it again!
Now, I can see if I had it installed on an iphone previously, but this is supposed to be another Android device. Why should I have to pay for it twice? Anyone know of a way around this (besides sideloading the apk) that's legitimate?

I saw a thread telling me how to root it and install the Android Market. But then I saw another thread saying that rooting kills the Fire's ability to stream Amazon Prime videos. I don't know whether it's worth it. Maybe I should just shut up and pay the 2.99, but it's the principle of the thing lol.
if you already have it on another android device, u can extract the apk from there and side load it to Fire

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!!
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda premium
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.
Wondering if anyone has tried a modded Flash apk for the G2x that will let you watch Hulu through dolphin hd browser and get it working? If so, can you post how you got it working?
What is wrong with using the Hulu app?
I thought I read that there was more free content available if you were browsing Hulu.com rather than using the app. Kind of like mimicking a PC and fooling hulu.com that you were not coming from an android device.

You are right. The app is only for paid content. Also of note you may want to post this in HTC forum instead of the LG G2x as what may work on a LG phone may not work on a HTC.
Flash video browser from the market works fine with Hulu.

Yeah, I should probably dump my signature, just realized....I use the Sensation - but my wife uses the G2X. So trying to get it working for her.
Has anyone successfully gotten the hulu app to work on their one x? I've tried multiple modded versions that have worked in the past for me for my vivid and none of them are working on the one x. They just sit there buffering forever. Any ideas?
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
So far I haven't found a solution. Everything I tested is the same buffering problem you said.
I am in the same boat. I have the international version of the 1x and I'm able to get hulu working. But I just purchased the AT&T 1x and it doesn't work. all it does is op stated just stays stuck buffering. I wonder what is different between both phones that will cause this
I actually get the error that my device isn't currently supported. I'm going to try to find a work-around via the browser and a modified version of the Adobe Flash apk I have lying around from my old days of doing this with my Captivate.
I have tried a few modded hulu .apk's as well with the same stuck buffering problem. I really would like to get my money's worth out of my Hulu + subscription.
Come on Hulu!
I sent them an email at [email protected] asking for device compatibility with the AT&T HTC One X (I made sure to call it that so there was no confusion as to what device I was referring to) and this is the BS reply I got.
Thanks for your email. Because Android phones and tablets each have a different set of specifications that we need to take into account, we're only able to support a select number of them at this point in time. While I don't have a time frame to share right now, we'll be adding new Android devices regularly.
Again, I'm sorry for the frustration. We're working hard to bring Hulu Plus to a wide variety of Android devices as soon as possible. Thanks for being patient with us in the meantime. If there's anything else I can address for you, please let me know.
Thanks,
Olivia

So, Hulu Plus can't support various devices, but Netflix can? My guess is that they have only one poor sod who is working on all the mobile apps. Regardless, please email [email protected] and tell them you want to see Hulu Plus on the AT&T HTC One X, I figure the more people emailing them the higher the chances are that we'll see the app released.
My reply was a little different. I'm hoping that they will add it soon as there are many HTC phones one the supported list.
"Giorgio M., May 08 07:33 am (PDT):
Hi Art,
Thanks for getting in touch with us, and thanks for the suggestion. We'd love to get Hulu Plus working on as many devices as possible, so while there's no update at the moment, I wouldn't be surprised to see it pop up at some point. A lot of folks ask about adding the HTC One X to Hulu Plus, so we're certainly aware of the demand.
Before we can officially support it, we need to obtain a specific set of streaming rights, and we also need agreements in place with both our content partners and the device manufacturer itself – and these steps can take time. If or when support is announced, you'll see it listed at ( www.hulu.com/plus/devices ).
I hope this helps. If there's anything else I can address, please let me know.
Thanks, Giorgio M. Hulu Support"

If you're okay with viewing Hulu videos in browser, Flash Video Browser works great. Its a paid app, but worth it if you watch lots of Hulu.

Has anyone else noticed that their app only supports old phones. Not a single galaxy device in that list... I am not optimistic about this. If it wasnt for my gf being addicted to hulu, i would cancel.

No luck, I get the eternal buffering issue I and others had when trying modded flash players/hulu plus apks. It claims I'm having network issues, but I doubt that.
I might add that I'm stock, un-rooted, bootloader locked (for now at least)
There is an update today that works on the HOX.
Note: if you have AdAway installed you need to disable ad blocking and reboot or you'll get an error.
Edit: Argh, spoke too soon. Got it to work once and not since then. Some reviews in the App market suggest it does work, though. I suspect it's blocking rooted devices.

Yes I can confirm that this works on my unrooted, stock AT&T One X with the new update. I can finally watch Hulu on my phone instead of my Xbox :victory:
Must be checking the bootloader because temp unrooting with OTA Rootkeeper doesn't work either.

Netflix doesn't bother with this bull. Hopefully a dev can work some magic on this one
Edit- Maybe it's a rom version error. Any rooted user on a 1.85 base rom able to stream? I'm on CleanRom which uses a 1.88 base.
