Google play video app is updated - HTC Sensation

So I usually dont play attention to reviews for an app but this one got my attnetion. The app on the market has over 2000 1 star reviews and 99% of them are complaining that it doesnt work on rooted phones.
So my question is, if you are smart enough to root your damn phone why are you stupid to understand it wont work on devices that don't support DRM security features anymore? So stupid....
oh and its not like those people gonna rent a movie from the store anyways

I think the 1 star reviews are more of a 'protest' rather than them not actually understanding about DRM Security features.

I've read some of them and they didnt look like protests to me.

Apologies, I meant the ratings specifically. Some of the reviews are certainly daft though.

What he said. Also: if you follow the devs on twitter, you will see many of them are already working on it and will prolly start a thread once they progress.

I think the search feature is a bit unreliable, slow, and hard to parse.
I'm not trying to defend the person, but it's no Google search.
I too and chomping at the bit for a fix for Netflix.

Exactly... especially if you gotta wait 30 seconds in between each search.. that is a joke. if you dont like it dont click the link... the search function sucks on this site...

great news people :)

check out this story link, looks like the complaining and the petition did the trick
http://androidandme.com/2011/05/phones/htc-manufacturers-news/htc-plans-to-review-its-locked-bootloader-policy/
I wouldn't cheer yet...taking under consideration and actually changing something is a BIG BIG difference They are good businessmen....this way they look good in public eyes for now and maybe in the future they'll release a device with no locks... but who knows
EDIT: Plus this isn't exactly news I've read that already...here....twice

i agree but htc arent to bad and also it sounds like if they do scrap the policy it will be easy for them to turn it off on all phones, and anyway its the only ray of sunshine i have seen since buying this phone so i think i am entitled to a little bit of hope
come on... 3rd topic about same thing?

I posted this here for those interested. If you are not thats your prerogative. Maybe when you find something that is Xperia PLAY optimized you like you will post it for everyone to determine if they like it or not. :laugh:
Sure will, and I'll make sure it doesn't look shlt.

In case you have not realized... if at any time I find a game that is xperia play optimized I post it here, whether I think it looks worthwhile or not. If you dont like the game you dont have be such a jerk about it. Your negative comments/attacks are not conducive to the spirit of XDA. I will politely ask that you at least try to keep an open mind. You dont like a game.... ok, understandable. Do I play this game that I have shared... nope... but do I share it for those who may find it interesting... you bet. I will not reply to any more of your comments as I do not want my thread to go down as a negative pissing contest. Please respect this thread, those who are interested in this, those who spend time posting their findings. If you cannot abide by this rule, which is not mine but laid down by the XDA Devs I will have you reported. With that in mind, I am returning this thread back to what it was intended for.. Star Raiders.
Kudos for updating us about an Xperia PLAY enabled game. Please continue to do so.
I've looked at it again and it still looks shlt.
Of course this is entirely my opinion, opinions being of which all forums thrive upon & actively encourage.
It is not intended as a personal attack on you as my 1st post clearly defines.
Please do not continue to actively discourage me from having my own opinion as that is against international human rights legislation and I may have to have you reported.
Just one more check of the play store... Yup, still looks shlt.

[Q] anandtech review?

So does anyone know if / when the anandtech review of the nexus 5 will be released? Can't find it.
And why exactly would you need it? I think there is already every information imaginable on the forums or in other reviews.

Really surprising there is no review. Guess they decided the nexus was not worth it.

No, I've just been wondering that if you were looking for something specific we could provide it
If you look at Brian Klug's twitter feed (@nerdtalker), you'll notice that he's both working on it and sick of people asking about it. At one point he made a joke about adding 300 minutes delay every time someone asks.

No, the anandtech review are just an interesting read and typically a lot more detailed than other reviews, that's why i've been looking forward to it.

Great! I've been waiting for it too. :good:
People who matter listen to what Brian Klug has to say, so if there's something that needs improving and he points it out, there's a chance something will be done about it.
Edit:
Great review, as expected!
"Nexus 5 has the best calibrated display I’ve seen so far in any Android handset."
High praise indeed.
