So i just got the new OnLive app and tried it out on the Galaxy Note.
While there is a small black bar going across the top, It actually works quite well.
I have included the Apk to anyone else who wishes to try it themselves.
I have played both Dirt 3 and Lego Batman. Both were more than playable with the touch screen, But I think with the universal joypad it would be even better.
My home screen on the app is really blurry for some reason. Got a fix?
That app is ******* awesome.... my Note might replace my xbox lol

I believe its your connection, It happened to my momentariely but was fine afterwards.
I can see this being the place where OnLive shines and makes it's money.
"Application not installed". :<
Any idea ??
I should have included that the service is only available in the US and the UK, Although I'm in Ireland and it works rather well.
I was able to get it working because I originally signed up for a US account with a VPN and then moved to the UK account when the launched it over there.
I do hope they launch in more places, But for now, Use a VPN to sign up and then you should be good to go.
UK usually means your whole little mini-continent.
FYI, sign up and download the app off the market place and you get Lego Batman for free. Tried Dirt and could not play it at all with the touch screen. Has anyone tried the SixAxis Controller app and got it working with this app at all? The annoying thing is is that I have an Online gaming system with a controller (managed to pick one up for free ) but I get the impression that it isn't the same as the new "Universal" controller that they'll be releasing so there's not way to sync that controller with my note
the sixaxis controller only worked for me on CM7 and MIUI on the SGS2, it did not work on stock roms so i expext the same on the note.
Well I've taken the dive and brought the SixAxis Controller app and it works with the Note as stock rom but rooted, though only managed to get it working with Onlive if I set buttons as keyboard buttons rather than game pad buttons, just means I'll have to adjust the mapping depending on the game unless someone knows how to get it working so I can have game pad buttons instead?
The app doesnt work on my Note, says " your internet connection is too slow"
Well you need 2-5 mbps speed I think. Ill try it out later in a wifi router with 5mbps and see if it works.

Bringing this old thread alive.
I've had a play on the OnLive app and it's really good. However, the games with touchscreen controls available are a bit rubbish.
Does anyone know of any controller options that are better than using a PS3 with the control mapping app as above, or using the OnLive universal controller? Both of those are too big for me.
I'm really surprised that the OnLive universal controller is so humongous. When they're aiming at being able to play on netbooks/tablets/phones, you'd have thought they'd make the controller nice and small!
I'm surprised that I can't seem to find some sort of innovative controller that folds up or something, ideal for carrying around.
Just tried a couple of games and can confirm that the touch controls are more or less useless. On dirt 3 you can't get passed the login screen as there's no way to press continue!!
And why why why does my note get extremely hot after just 5 mins of using onlive?? I know that most of the screen res is being used but considering that the cpu and gpu are being used on a remote server I don't see any reason why the note should be so overloaded.
work in progress i guess.
Wait and see ^^ but this app is a messy for future of android game
hey does anybody know when will onlive service be available in the rest of europe??? I live in switzerland and it doesn't work...my 'region is not supported' or something like that.
I would really like to see how this cloud gaming works. Oh and my wifi speed at home is almost always close to 30mbps download and 2.5 mbps upload...i have enough bandwidth.
It's work in wi-fi, the platform is very good, but it wants a large bandwidth. I create a guide on my blog to use it. I want the universal pad .

still doesn't work on the phone....i can use it on my pc very well but when i try from the phone it says my region is not supported.

i've got my wii online through my phones wifi tether, but when i try to play call of duty online it logs me on and lets me into a game but when i try to move my guy it retracts my movements and really choppy gameplay. what im basically asking is what do i need to do to get smooth gameplay..... can i change my cpu on my phone to play the game smoothly or is there just to much going on graphic wise that the 3.5 G network cant keep up. thats right i said 3.5G not 3G
Almost 100% sure that the chopy game play is due to lag. C.o.d. and other action games are just gonna move to much data for the phones conection to keep up. Wii bowling or other less demanding games may play fine.
Maybe a 4g conection might keep up but i doubt it. If you search you can find charts on how much band width is needed for online gaming support. Wish i could help you more with it.

I have - it works fine. It looks like Sling updated the Android app yesterday to include high quality streaming, finally! It runs in full screen on the Xoom - the picture looks good (not great, but good). Hopefully Sling will release a tablet-optimized version as well.

Hey dwboston, I tried to look for this app in the market for the Xoom and I can't find it. Where did you find it at? I tried the search button, but it didn't find it either.
Works great for me
after the update, it works ok. the mobile controls need to be tweaked, but it is usable.
Slingbox on Xoom
The app works great on Xoom but is exactly the same as the application for the Android phone. Therefore if you purchased the application for your Smartphone no need to purchase it again for the Xoom.
Also since its the same app the controls could use some tweaking but overall it does what its suppose to and with good bandwidth the video quality is great.
I am working on a video to show you how it looks/works. Ill post it soon.
Slingplayer Overview Video
As promised I have a video overviewing Slingplayer app for Slingbox. Hope this helps those deciding on making the investment. I paid $180 for Slingbox(you really only need the regular) and $30 for Slingbox App for Android.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V-i-TA5J3M
Excellent video, thanks! I don't have a Slingbox, but it sure is tempting after seeing how flawless and easy it ran on the Xoom.
I bought a Monsoon Vulkano for 109.00 and the app is free. I have been very pleased with the quality on my DX and my laptop. I will try it on my Xoom as soon as I get one!

Your Welcome. Please 'Thanks' me , helps me out a little. I run daily videos of different applications on Xoom so you can check out my channel through that link to see other vids, as well as request Apps you want to see in action. http://www.youtube.com/sleeplessninjas
The app itself is as flawless as the video depicted. Setting up the hardware initially for use over the internet can be a little tricky and its hard to make a generic video on how to set it up because the tricky part depends on customizing some port forwarding on your router. But if anyone is having issues with this setup just send me a private message. You probably shouldn't ask for help with the hardware setup in this thread because it doesn't really pertain to the Xoom itself.

From reading up on the device it looks really impressive. Especially with the HDMI In and the ability to have its own DVR. Thank you for sharing I am going to check it out.
For those that are on Dishnetwork with a VIP 922 or 722 with Sling adapter there is a free application. It shows up on the cellphone market, but not the tablet.
I downloaded the latest phone version in apk format from another site and installed it on the Xoom. The latest version has the HD mode that was just released on the normal Sling player. The browse portion is verticle, but when you play a video it switches to horizontal. Working great for me so far.
I have a Sling Pro-HD coming tomorrow and I am going to see how that works on other devices. If the quality is good I am going to hook it up to a device such as one of my Blu Ray players that has Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon on it to see how that looks and works.

I didn't have to search for it. I have it loaded on my phone (Dell Streak) so it showed up automatically in my list of apps in the Market on the Xoom the first time I turned it on.
I have the slingplayer app on ea bunch of devices. I have it for the ipod touch, my Droid, I even have a Windows license of it from when I had a Winmo phone. I have one of the older Slingbox AV devices and I gotta say it's been great. Now that I can hook the Xoom up to HDMI I can literally watch tv anywhere I am. I am traveling this weekend, hotels typically have HDMI inputs and wifi so I always have my tivo with me. I used it on my last trip to watch local news at night back home. The controls aren't perfect as mentioned above but they're pretty good. I use the app almost daily either on my phone on the Xoom. Most people complain about the cost of the app but to me it's worth it.

One thing if you decide on the Vulkano, just get the "platinum" version it has the same abilities that the other units have but does not come with an SD card or hard drive but they can be added for the dvr feature. With the free apps for all devices, I think its the best deal going. Good luck!

sorry to bump this thing up, but what version of Sling player are yours? mine doesn't work, just loads a black screen, sometimes it hangs there and most of the time it closes.
NVM found an update sorry.
I have a Slingbox AV (old model) and it still chugs away. I watch a half hour show at lunch everyday on the Xoom. Works well.
Sling over Wifi seems to work okay. However, it doesn't seem to work over bluetooth tethering for me. Can anyone else confirm whether or not it's working for them via bluetooth tethering?

Bluetooth will most likely not support the bandwidth required for streaming. I would never suggest tethering (usb or bt) for anything other than just accessing the internet for google searches and other low bandwidth usage.
checkout a BT wiki for more info, BT is just not the best idea when it comes to any sort of high bandwidth file transfers or streaming or even tethering if you ask me... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth
I have my droid 2 tethered to my xoom and I have zero problems streaming my sling box HD.
I have started playing around with Gamestring a couple of days ago. I spent a number of hours re-installing Bioshock and Gears of War to see what would happen...nothing. Gamestring will probably need a games compatibility list more so than. "If the game renders in Direct X" is not enough.

Sorry. Adrenlin Gamestring is an application that allows you to use a host computer to run a game ex: WoW(World of Warcraft) then capture the game and broadcast it to your device. Similar to OnLive but using your PC as the host and your own games to broadcast. There is an open beta at:
http://adrenalin.gamestring.com
I have had little success with the app. It seems that games have to render in DirectX 9 no higher. Still testing.

The advantages are, this app was designed to stream games rather than being a remote desktop app (like splashtop) so it "should" offer much higher framerates.

Similar to Splashtop, but purposefully built for gaming. I assumed, based on the graphics used on the site that they are aiming at the Xperia play crowd. I have tried both Gears of War and Bioshock, but neither has worked. The service doesn't seem to "hook" the game properly even in DX9 mode. The mouse does seem to move the mouse on the host but no audio or video.
The plus. The possibly of playing emulators like dolphin or or other games that I already own for free on my phone.
The down. (Besides the fact I can't get it to work! LOL) The service requires WIFI no 3g and no analog support yet.
Oh cool.. but i totaly lose interest when you say Wifi-only. Why? I rather sit by my xbox or my computer if i wanna play those games. Why play it on a small screen when you can play it on your TV or computer screen?
And i guess that it doesn't work with another wifi-connection then your own, because you stream your game.. am i right?
So yeah.. cool thing.. but so not usefull IMO
Wifi only sometimes isnt bad, say for instance your in a bg and suddenly you have the urge to have a crap. Load this app and go poop. Its good enough to keep you from getting flagged as away in game. Basicly this app replaces the piss bucket for mmo junkies
I have heard that the WIFI is a deal breaker for a number of people. I kinda feel the same way. Since I am not a big WoW player, I thought it would be a good way to play the rated M games that I don't wanna play in front of the kiddies.
And even IF it should work via 3g, it would fry up your phone bill like crazy anyway so haha ^^

Yeah, I would imagine what the bill would be for those who don't have unlimited data.
I find it pretty much useless.
It doesn't support my system (I use Windows Media Center and its remote). It doesn't offer a TV Grid. It tries too hard to guess what I want to watch when my viewing patterns are kind of unpredictable.
I tried it on my father's system and it didn't know his TV either. (He also has Media Center - but uses a real TV, so double fail - I watch TV on my computer montor, so I don't have a TV).
Peel doesn't seem to have any way to learn a new remote - and repeated emails to the company that makes it has resulted in no replies at all.
The IR remote capability was one thing that excited me about the Note - now I'm feeling a bit disappointed by the weak software they included.

I have samsung TV's and Direct TV and it works very well. Do not use it all the time but every time I have gone to use it I have had no problems. I have two rooms set up on it for two different systems.
I happen to have a Samsung LED TV that it works on..
So along with the Samsung Remote, and Unified Remote apps the Note 10.1 its my new remote for my home theater!
Works for me too for our living room system and mancave system. Although, it isn't necessarily a replacement for the Logitech Universal remotes I have.
I didn't think I'd use it (I have Google TV boxes) but I've started using it for the programming guide. I have a couple different TV brands and it works with all of them. It also works with my Yamaha, Denon, and Onkyo receivers and multiple different Motorola cable boxes. It's not very intuitive but it's pretty cool once you figure it out. And you can set what categories it displays to minimize selection clutter.
I was really disappointed with this app as it first will with a sky satellite box in the UK. I emailed the developer who replied after a couple of weeks to say that it is for American and Canadian users only at present and they are working hard on an international version....thanks Samsung for marketing this somewhat useless app for most of the world.

Do I use it? No, not really. I know when and what I want to watch, so it's more of a "look at what my tablet does!" feature more than anything. It's neat and all, but yeah, just no real need for it.

Well, I'd be pretty surprised if it didn't support Samsung TVs and components since it's included on - you know - a Samsung tablet.
That being said, I guess what's bothering me is the lack of any way to 'train' the remote. There are very few other remote TV apps out there.
It's one of those cases where if you have a TV or system they support, live in the right country and find their approach to TV good, it's a good app. If any of those are false, it's pretty much useless. I'm also kind of disappointed by the terrible customer support Peel seems to offer.
Ah well, time to dig into the kernel code and see if I can write something a bit more generic and easier to use - with remote training capability.

Sounds interesting. I originally thought I could clone other remotes or whatever. But peel just scans through its own data base of codes. Which seems to be limited.
Have you tried mentioning the limitation on the playstore review? I see alot of developers quick to respond up there.

Definitely worth a try...
I see a lot of people are using this, but I got nowhere with it. The first thing it tried to do was turn on my TV. It's a Toshiba flatscreen (only a couple of years old) and didn't work. It prompted me to send a message to the developers. Okay, great. But then it didn't prompt me to do anything else, and I can't figure out how to get it to do anything else. I'd like to try to get it to turn on my receiver or Time Warner cable box. Or use the guides everyone's talking about. But I can't get past the "turning on the TV part."
What am I missing?
i have an Olevia 537H that it was giving me some problems with. the first code it sent worked, or so i thought, but then i couldn't change the source, up/down onthe channels, so i reset it. this time i skipped the first one that turned the tv on, and the next code that worked i went with it. works flawless now, source, etc. i don't necessarily like the scrolling through the shows on because it seems to "grip" the screen past the show i want, or go back one, but it works pretty decently. my remote for the tv sucks so this gives me what i need.

Hello everyone! I am sure that every Android gamer is aware of the awesome new product from Power A known as the Moga controller. If not you can check it out here at the Power A website. Basically it is a controller that attaches onto your Android device to allow for endless gaming possibilities. Actually, scratch the part about "endless gaming possibilities." The possibilities are NOT endless because Power A decided to limit Moga compatibility to games only officially supported by Moga. Even worse, you need to have the official "Moga Pivot App" from Google Play installed AND running in the background WHILE you play the game. There is a huge problem with this setup: many apps that are not being developed any more may NEVER get Moga support. For example, every emulator app by yongzh hasn't been updated in months. The last time his N64 app was updated was sometime in July. Every other emulator app hasn't been updated for more than a year, so I think we can assume that he has stopped developing. So here is my request: make an app that is similar to Sixaxis Controller that would allow us to use the Moga gaming controller on any app with bluetooth controller support. I don't think it would be too hard to pull off. If this could be done, it would truly make the gaming possibilities endless for Moga. Otherwise, this device is useless to me.
I've been working on reverse engineering the connection tonight since it doesn't just advertise itself as a HID device. I've got the initialization/ping/flush commands figured out and have the response data figured out, too. Tomorrow night I'll start working on writing an IME that translates everything into nice, standard events.
Stay tuned!

Awesome! I just got this as a gift and was sorely disappointed with the closed ecosystem it introduced. I was sad that i might have to return it since it felt nice in the hand. If you managed to get this working that would be so awesome! Ill be looking out for your fix.
Great work ObsidianX, it really annoys me that they didn't implement this controller as a standard bluetooth HID device.
I was actually considering ordering one until I saw the reviews that pointed this out. I still don't know if I would want to order one if you/the community figure out how to make it openly compatible - it should have been that way in the first place! Then it could work with PCs/Laptops/other devices too... that's actually what I like about the look of this controller - close the folding arm and you have a decent looking regular controller that could be used with anything, unfold it to attach your phone and it works there too... It would have been awesome, but that's not what they made it to be.
Still I look forward to following your efforts and might consider ordering one if it does end up working out well enough!
~Troop
Oh man that's great to hear, I have one of these and being restricted to like five apps out of the 30+ I own is annoying. I just want some emulator support really..
Put me on the list that would be HUGELY grateful if you made a workable hack.
It's working
I'm going to clean it all up and put it up on Play hopefully tonight but by tomorrow, for sure.
Nice! Awesome news. I'll be on the lookout to give it a DL and let you know my results.
Can't wait to actually USE this Moga controller.

I've been working on reverse engineering the connection tonight since it doesn't just advertise itself as a HID device. I've got the initialization/ping/flush commands figured out and have the response data figured out, too. Tomorrow night I'll start working on writing an IME that translates everything into nice, standard events.
Stay tuned!

Would be nice if you could also mod it the other way and have Native USB controllers (I.E dualshock3 or X-box pad) seen as a MOGA controller to the pivot app. We could then have full on game support (with no on-screen controls) from the likes of Gameloft, E.A for normal NICE controllers which have more of a pedigree. Why pay $50 for a cheap controller with triple A battery's when you could get one of the best controllers ever made for half the price and have it function the same if not better.
PS - If people are only interested in the clip here is a better idea - Gameclip and SIXAXIS

Excellent. Soon as I get off work I'll give this a go. I'll report my findings.
Looks like it's up! Enjoy, folks
(started an app thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953647)
Great work on the app OP!
On a slightly related topic...
The MOGA site lists Dead Trigger as one of the supported games for the controller. I've not been able to get Dead Trigger to work with the stock app or the app from this thread.
Has anyone else had any success getting Dead Trigger to work, and if so, how did you do it?
Thanks
EDIT: I used the key mappings in this post along with the app in this thread and Dead Trigger is working pretty well.
I have a feeling this thread will be getting more popular in the next few days.
bought one from the sale, so stoked to find this thread. Many many thanks to the OP.
Got the freebie in the mail. Seems I can run it fine for a few minutes on either the nexus 4 or 7, but then it starts to lose accuracy. Playing an fps, where once I could look up in a controlled manner, it gets to the point where trying the same amount of motion on the sticks makes me look at the sky. Ideas? Both stock rooted. 4 on 4.2.1, 7 on 4.1.2.
Using pivot app. Will try universal app as well.
Sounds cool, is this like a game center?
Any UK retailers selling this?
