Hello,
I got my Sensation from eBay, it doesn't have a US market, and I'm not sure which country the market is for,
Anyway, the native HTC Watch that comes with it only plays trailers of some 10 movies. The movies don't update, and there's no way to get the actual movies.
Any idea how to solve this?
I think I'm getting more and more reasons to do the s-off thing.

Hi. So I got the Optimus V and I was looking at some sites for mobile anime episodes and I watched part of a video and bookmarked the site for later.
When I went back, the video wouldn't play, all that shows where the video should be is a blue lego with a question mark on it. Now no embedded flash videos will play in the browser. When I try to force install the Adobe Flash Player 10.1 it doesn't install.
I've read that the processor in this phone doesn't meet min specs for the latest Flash. Now, I KNOW I saw the video playing that first time. I know the phone is able to do it.
Will rooting my phone let me overclock and get Flash 10.1 running? Is there a way to roll back to an older version of Flash on the phone? HAs anyone gotten embedded videos to work on this phone?
I'm somewhat disappointed if there is no way to watch tv shows on the phone.
Having the same problem, but got just a little further along. you can get the app "Droid Streamer" for a decent collection of tv and movies. free also. I then got "Crackle Pro" has many tv shows but had to pay $4.99 for a month. So far so good,great quality videos. You can also get 6 months for $24.99. I am going to wait on that because i think someone will develope a compatible flash player soon. I offset the cost of crackle by lowering my minutes to 300 for $25/month. Then I downloaded "nettalk" for free that uses 3g data to make calls using no minutes up. I then got "easy tether" to connect to laptop with fast 3g internet, also free!! So for $30 I'm getting unlimited talk,text,web,email, and wifi on my laptop.
Not bad
Hello,
I was wondering if there was anyway to DLNA a video from HTC Watch to a computer/tv.
I know the Sensation can DLNA videos you record but how about with HTC Watch?
If it's possible can anyone give me advice? I'd be most grateful.
Thank you,
lilhugo
PS:
I found the file on my SD Card, but it was unable to read it due to DRM. Any other ideas to stream from phone to computer/tv?
Bump
Is no one interested in DLNA-ing from their phone to their computer/tv, but me?
me too !!
did U get a solution ?
I can't believe there's no answer for this. HTC Watch is great (with 5p weekends) but realistically I'd rather watch films on my 42" tv than on my phone when I'm at home!!
Come on people there must be a way to play through. Does a HDMI link work? I don't want to buy one only to find it doesn't.
Hi everyone,
Do any of you in the UK with a Motorola Xoom have the option to rent HD versions of films from the newly released (to the UK) Movies section of the Android Market?
I cannot see HD versions of movies on my Samsung Galaxy S2, (I want to play them back via MHL/HDMI to my TV screen), but I am not sure if this is because:
HD movies aren't available to the Galaxy S2 or;
HD movies aren't available to the UK yet
The article on the Android Market here suggests that the Motorola xoom can rent HD movies, so I wondered if someone in the UK who has a Xoom could kindly check and see if you have an HD rental option in the Android Market.
That way I would know if it was a geographical restriction (UK) or a hardware restriction (Galaxy S2).
Thanks very much for your time.
James
No one in the UK has a Xoom?
I have one, running 3.1 no option /tab in the market for movies, at this pointing it does appear will post back!
Thanks. That's a shane you don't have the option yet, but thanks for taking the time to look.
Bump! Anyone?
UK XOOM . No movie option.
UK Xoom, no movies yet.
Canadian Xoom here, I can see the movie links but cannot rent or purchase.
hijacked?
UK movies available here using market 3.1.6 however cannot rent movies because device is rooted and so will not play rented videos.
I am considering purchasing the Tab 2 10.1 and have been reading reviews but haven't come across anything regarding streaming media from the network sites like ABC and CBS. Can anyone tell me how well the Galaxy handles this? I'm also wondering how well the Netflix app runs. Thanks!
Anything you can do on previous Android devices you will be able to do on this tablet. So I would assume that you can.
Well I have a Transformer Prime currently but it constantly reboots when streaming so that's why I'm curious about the Galaxy. Prior to the Prime I had an iPad.
No problems streaming here
I have been able to stream movies from HBO.com, amazon instant videos, and other various websites with no problems... I think as long as you have adobe flash installed it should be fine. I love my new galaxy tab 2 10.1, I was thinking about getting an iPad but am a huge Android OS fan and the new ICS is amazing in tablet form... Its definitely a worth while purchase... I primarily use mine to watch movies and TV either through streaming or downloaded movies and I have no complaints...
Well the netflix app runs flawlessly. It's one of the most used apps on my tab. I haven't streamed through any other apps all though i have installed Hulu and it appears to work as well.
Hulu Plus works great, as does Crackle.

Streaming is the big reason I have ordered Gtab 2 p5113--should be arriving tomorrow. I love my amazon prime videos and can't use it on the "other" device which makes me cranky. Very excited!!
yes, for sure!
And for iptv streams i'm using ITPV application from market
Amazon Prime streams like a champ! Yeah!!
Hi everyone!
I have a TF700T running stock with only root and a locked bootloader.
I was able to buy a few movies in HD quality in the play store but there is no HD button when trying to play. If I choose a free episode from some tv show in the play store however then there is an HD option!? I'm guessing these are DRM issues? Free items play in HD, bought ones don't.
Like I said, still LOCKED with only ROOT. Unrooting with OTA rootkeeper doesn't resolve the issue.
I have been searching the net alot lately but haven't found any answer yet which might explain this.
Any help please?? This is driving me crazy!
Thanks in advance!
There are films in the Play Store?
"Sorry! Movies on Google Play is not available in your country yet."
Right. F*ck you too, Google.
Anyway, pro-piracy arguments aside, from what I can tell buying it in HD automatically plays it in HD. It'll revert to SD on a non-HD device, but play in on a HD-device, it plays in HD. Free videos have a HD option because you don't pick SD or HD seperatelly.

Seems fairly obvious.
I know that the "missing" HD button is an issue on unlocked devices (due to DRM issues), but from what I've read, rooted devices should be able to play them in HD...
Very strange... Being that you are still locked and the fact that you said that you purchased the HD version, I would contact Google and see what they say - you should be able to view purchased HD programs in HD!
Please let us know what you find out...
Personally, I've given up on using the Play store for videos since Google won't let me view them in HD (since I'm unlocked). There are alternatives out there, so Google won't be getting my $$ because of this! I did spend a great deal of time trying to make it work, but in the end I figured screw them if they don't want my money!

I have bought movies, books, magazines, music and apps through the US and UK store. I use a VPN (freehostedvpn.com) because obviously there is no full play store in Belgium yet. It works great! Even managed to get a Nexus 4.

I guess I'll do that. I ordered a microsd card yesterday so I can get back to ICS. See if that changes anything. If it wasn't for these DRM issues I would have unlocked the damned thing ages ago! But even locked I can't watch my HD bought content in HD!! But with free HD content there is a HD button!??
Anybody else on Jelly Bean locked with root or no root who is able to play movies or tv shows in HD from Google Play?
Still waiting for the micro sd...
Does any know if the hd option is there when still locked and on ICS?
I have received my sd card and succesfully rollbacked to ICS.
I am now running .30 ICS. I am not rooted and the bootloader is still locked.
However playing HD movies I bought in the play movies store will still not give me the HD option in the lower left corner. Free hd tv show episodes will give me that option. I have no clue why this is happening?
I am also sure I am not the only one on these forums with a locked Infinity with HD movie content from the Play Store.
Can someone please check and tell me if I am the only one with this problem or not? I'm sure I'm not the only one with google play movies?
Thanks!

Yes, I only buy HD versions. And when I play a free tv show episode with HD option enabled it plays in HD quality but when playing bought HD movies there is no HD button and the quality is really horrible!! So i'm guessing that would be SD.
If there was no HD button but the movies would still play in HD than that would be ok. But I'm stuck with the terrible SD quality...

Have you tried to download OTA root keeper and temporary unroot your device to see if it's working?? I assumed that everything is stock and you only rooted!

Actually, he says right in his post that he isn't even rooted - completely stock, unrooted and locked bootloader - makes no sense that HD videos wouldn't work - I would definitely be contacting Google - that's BS...
