So I am a recent iPhone converter and I am used to being able to buy movies on iTunes. Can I only rent on the Android Market? I have searched and found no answers. I downloaded "Video" app but it tells me i am rooted and can't use it. I just want to buy a movie so I can watch it as much as I want.
For the moment it's rent only. I'm sure that will change soon.
You could always put films on your SD card and watch it on your device like that.
Yea, i really want to just purchase some since i travel so much. I guess i will just have to purchase some digital copies or something. That's so stupid though.

I agree. They are losing money hoof and mouth, IMO.
There is about 10 movies I would buy right off of the bat if they had them available. Unfortunately some of the digital copies I have are that stupid ultraviolet crap were you have to stream it. Does me no good on an airplane.

They're blocking rooted users. There are ways around it of course, but I'm not sure we're allowed to post here. Suffice it to say, google is your friend.

I use an app called XBOX Live Statistics. It's nice because I can see if my friends are online or not, and I can send them XBL messages from my phone. It's a little slow, but worth the load time.
Its the fact all of us who paid for an app can now no longer use it and we got no refund from the dev or google but everyone will cry like babies about pirated software and protecting their work well im saying what's protecting our (the consumer) money.

I have paid for both apps and now I wont get updates to any of them... Nor will I get a refund for either of them. I dunno who I am displeased with more Microsoft, Google, or the app Devs
I also payed for this app... I got a bit pissed off when I noticed it wasn't available anymore

Absolutely not the devs or Google. Microsoft is at fault here. They disabled access and there was nothing anyone could do about it. Google could have given you the money back but you shouldn't be mad at them.

I didn't even know about this. I have xbox live statistics. Is the app no longer working? I haven't checked it in a day or so, but have a widget that treks me if I have any messages or how many of my friends are online. This is a real bummer and I hope the consumers show enough outrage that they allow access once again. This affecting other mobile platforms as well?

Yup that's exactly why these apps are useful. No need to keep booting up the Xbox or load the bloated website.
Removing access is not cool at all.
Buy a ps4 like iam going to I was a big xbox fan and I still like my 360 and xbox1 but after 4 POS 360s I will not buy the next xbox! And I did not buy win7 becuz M$ riped us 360 owners off with defetive ****y hardware! M$ really Sucks it all started after Bill gates left

They only pulled it because it cost money. Had it been free it would have stayed. That's their policy on the iPhone app store thus I assume the same thing here

Technically, you can use the PlayOn work around. You have to intall an app on your PC and the client on your profile, get an account with PlayOn and it streams from Netflix to your PC to your Phone. At least, thats my understanding.

i just find it a little silly that I have to pay one company money to stream movies and tv shows from another company, because they cannot do it themselves...
They have the ability but won't do streaming on Android because they're paranoid about protecting their content. Arrrr

Yeah thats what Im saying, I dont mind paying for netflix, but if I have to pay playon as well, it just seems unnecessary and redundant!
They made an app for it, even demo'd it. However, it got leaked and people used it. You can use it to manage your queues though. Just can't seem to stream.

Invest in a slingbox and slingplayer mobile software.
+1 to the Slingbox idea.
i have a slingbox great picture with LTE!
Using a. TV tuner in your PC with orb is much cheaper, and does more than just stream TV. I use it, and it works. I have to say though that their development team and support suck.
Also, the myhava Vulkano is much better and cheaper than slingbox, and easier than orb.

slingbox
I have a slingbox and love it, the sling player works great over 4G too.
That is quite an investment however...
You could take a look at apps like Crakle, that have archived TV shows for viewing. For live TV, you're options become much more limited.

I have the vulkano platinum, and the hava titanium. I like their products, but they DON"T offer any support of their older products. I can't in good faith recommend them again until they start offering support for their legacy products. They purposely block the data stream to the legacy products using the vulkano app because it works fine over wifi, but it doesn't over 3/4g. Which is where their servers come into play.

It doesn't stream live tv by you can watch tv shows, the application is called tv shows stream.

You must be mistaken, they probably posted those in the marketplace, and as much as I want to yell at you, cause seriously the play store is only for apps music movies and books. If you want covers and all that crap, go on eBay. Like seriously, is this your first android? Everyone else be free to poke him, but give him slack if its his first phone which is on android.

When on your phone it seems you can't shop devices, but there is indeed a "devices" section on the play store if you go on through your PC. And the nexus 7 is available
Shot straight outta my Taskatooned SGH-I777 Rocketship
Poke: Poke: Just kidding
I tried to find it on the market app but I couldn't get to it. I searched Galaxy Nexus and Devices and nothing turned up.
Now on your PC, on the top left there is a drop-down that you can hit and it will show devices there. That is where you can purchase the GNex and N7 and probably link you to the accessories. I am at work, so I can't give you precise directions (because my work server blocks the market but not XDA/vBulletin) but I've been watching the GNex price fall for awhile on my PC in the market from that drop-down.
I've been doing some searching and haven't really found a good app and I'm trying to see if anyone has any advice. I have a decent amount of music in iTunes that i want to transfer to android so I dont lose it or have it just sit there. You guys know of any good programs for that, that aren't going to lose any of the bit rates between the transfer or won't give me many problems during the transfer?

You can't just export your songs from itunes? Oh my, it must be some crazy totalitarian facist regime running the fruit phones. Try this:
First you will have to burn your music to cd as drm-free files then rip them off of the cds but change i tunes ripping settings (edit> preferences> advanced tab> importing tab> import using: mp3 encoder.
This is the only way I know of. I even read around and this was all I could find. You might be best to only copy your hard to find stuff then download the rest through torrents.
Please hit Thanks if I have helped. I'm trying to get rid of my junior member stigma.

Do you own an ipod? If so, put the music on there, then open up explorer and browse to the ipod, the music is in folders there, though the ID3 tags and filenames are a mess. (random letters and numbers). There are also prpgrams to get the music off an ipod with the correct names, you'll have to google those as I can't remember the names.

Hmmm, i just come from an iphone 4 to a galaxy note 2 and all i did was highlight all the songs in my itunes library and press copy then i added a folder on my desktop and pasted it into the folder. That goes for any music videos i brought from itunes as well.then all u do is put the folder on ur desktop onto ur sd card then put in ur android phone.

All you do is go to your playlist press control a copy in a folder and transfer the folder to the music part of your phone it worked great for me. All these other answers are complicated haha

Sorry for the late response, been way too busy the past couple of days. Thanks for all the input ive looked into all of those programs but not once did i think to just copy everything in my iTunes folder to my phone SD card. The only problem is that my library consists of about 60GB so i think i might trim it down while i transfer as well! Thanks for the help.....

Sorry, not trying to advocate piracy, I was unaware of the rule. Did you know that by copying your music from itunes to another device you are pirating that music even though you have paid for it. Doesn't seem to make much sense to me, but Apple's gots to have control I guess.

Thank you! Now there is an efficient post: a direct reference that will save time (and helps me a lot). Too many posts without references lead to unnecessarily long threads that take far more time to parse for a solution than they should!
I'm not resurrecting a post, because I am looking at this problem now.
My friends, posting should be like publishing research: elegant, efficient, and fully referenced!
