[APP] Sirius xm

I don't know if this has been discussed yet and I might be in the wrong section but something strange happened this morning. I logged in my xm account with the app and usually it works only on wifi because 3g kept giving me a trying to get data connection or something. Anyways its working with 3g now so maybe they finally fixed it on there servers.

The Sirius XM app. Can't get it from the market for some reason...
http://www.siriusxm.com/android/indexd.html
So, I really enjoy this app! Gotta have Ellis mate! But, I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem. It doesn't matter if it's on wifi or 3g, the problem still happens. The song will be playing fine and then it either fast forwards or rewinds about 30 seconds and then gets stuck in a loop (playing about 30 seconds of the song) until I change the station. Any ideas or thoughts?

That has happened to me before, but hasn't happened in a while.
It happened to me last night but I noticed that my 3g data works then it stops for a while until I pause it and unpause it

For those of you looking for the app, it is only available directly from the SiriusXM website. Same goes for Sirius Canada and XM Canada apps - have to download it directly from their sites.

Yeah that happens on Android 2.2. I've contacted Sirius about the issue and thats what they said. I listen to Opie and Anthony while I'm at work and when I run 2.2 I get a 30 second loop, so I went back to 2.1 and works fine. Sirius says they are working on it....but it took over a year for Sirius to come to Android so I imagine it'll be a year until they fix the issue.
It still doesn't play over 3g for me.

Yes. Aren't you? That might be the issue then.
I can't even log in to the app. Just says "sorry, try again!"
Can login to the website just fine, but the app is a no go
Looks like they're working on a Froyo update, according to http://www.sirius.com/android

if you have a sirius internet radio subscription, which i'm assuming you all do if you're using the official sirius/xm app, and are having issues with the official app and/or hate the limited content of the official app.....get your hands on WunderRadio from the Market. Yes, its a bit expensive and the UI isn't as good as the official app. But, ALL the content of the desktop browser version of Sirius Radio is available to you. Works on wifi/3g/nog/whatever.
...and Baba-Booey to y'all!

[Q] Best Video chat software?

Currently running TnT lite 5.0.1 on my ViewSonic G tablet and have tried Qik (the version designed for the galaxy tab), but the sound didn't work. Tried fring, but the whole app just made funny noises and didn't work. Also tried Tango, but the app didn't recognize a phone number, so it wouldn't let me use the software with my tablet. All tests were done with the gf who has an HTC EVO, stock.
Has anyone had any luck with any specific combination of ROM's and apps? Or do you know of another app that would be best?
Notice to SKYPE... you're expected to be the industry leader here, so wtf are you doing so far behind the curve on mobile video chat???
Thanks for any help!
Been wondering about this myself. I don't understand why nobody is making a big deal out of this. What's the point of having a front facing camera if there ain't no video chatting program that works? I am particularly ugly... don't know why my boy friend is my boy friend in the first place. I wouldn't want to take pictures of myself in a million years.
Anyway, this is one of the reasons why I'm still hesitant to order this device.
Try Yahoo messenger+ video plugin. It wors perfectly for me. Sound and video. Tested yesterday.
Greetings
But with yahoo messenger you can't call people on other services like skype. Or can you?
No, only yahoo contacts, but at least is a solution. Skype is playing the cell companies game here, so it will take a long time before they offer a video solution.
So what is the XOOM using for this? Custom Motorola build of something or... ?
Ya, xoom supposedly has a kickass video chat possibility that they've been advertising for a while. What are they using?

My understanding is the video chat in Honeycomb is through the GTalk server, which is awesome. Also quick note as I haven't seen it mentioned yet, Qik is actually owned by Skype.

Ok, I consider this very important. None working outside of yahoo? Lets all keep searching for a solution. Share your findings ASAP!!

Isn't Skype eventually supposed to add video/camera support for tablets in the near future? Thought I recalled a couple of articles during CES about this.

[Q] HBO GO

HBO GO is now live. Anyone with a Transformer tried it?
Doesn't show in the market on mine, but does on my Fascinate.
I don't see it in my market either
If you go to market.android.com you will see that it is not supported yet. However, if you find an apk somewhere and side load it, it may work just fine although I haven't tried it yet.

Yup, I just saw this on Engadget:
"Update: Sorry Android users, but it looks like the only supported versions for the Android app are 2.1 - 2.3.3. However, we're getting reports that it does function in the browser -- so long as you've got Flash installed, of course. We're also told that the HBO Go site works just fine on the PlayBook as well."
If u click on the android police link it take u to the HBO go on market from your asus /Acer but when u click download it says your device not compatible...wtf? Lol

not working for me
So I cant figure out what I'm doing wrong, on my laptop it works fine but when I go to the website with my transformer it just gives me the screen showing the coming soon for ipone, android, etc screen, no option to login. I have flash loaded and it is working fine everywhere else. Am I doing something wrong?
Not in market yet, and I can't get the site to open either from my transformer.

[Q] Anybody getting Zinio running?

I get Zinio going on my Transformer, and my iPad 2 might be destined for eBay.
I tried reading a magazine through the browser on Zinio's site, and that was just an exercise in frustration.
I've found some directions on how to load the app from another device, but has any Transformer user tried it? How was your experience?
P.S. Zinio, if your app is out for other Android devices, release it already!

I tried with no success to install Zinio.
It is available for other android devices and works with some (some got it working on the xoom) but it seems like its a no go for this tablet.

I got Zino to run on my transformer. Do a search for Zino in the Xoom forums & install the 3 apks to get it to work. I'm at work so I can't remember which 3 files they are but I will let you know when I'm home tonight. It work's beautifully, I'm starting to get tempted to renew my mag subs now.
Check the application forum for zinio thread. I couldn't get the ones linked in Xoom thread, but that one worked.

It installed and seems to work pretty good!
Only bad thing is it seems to have a small selection of magazines. (No National Geographic, etc.)
P.S. Zinio, give me Playboy, you prudes!

I remember receiving a free National Geo mag last year & did you turn on/off Adult content on your zinio account? you have to login on their website though. I thought Playboy was on there already or was it Penthouse.
Hmm... I'll double check the National Geographic. As for Playboy, I see it on their site just not under the app.

Spotify on surface

With play.spotify.com you can Hear your music Form spotify on the Browser of your laptop...

WHy the hell are you using the whitelist tool still??? If you update your surface there is no longer any need for the whitelist, the only sites which are blacklisted are blacklisted because they are confirmed malicious on some way.

I just got my surface... so unlike others, I do not have much knowledge of the device and developments.
Windows seems to update incrementally so I guess it hasn't gotten me that far yet.
Went onto spotify website, it said something about flash...
used whitelist tool... spotify worked!
Yeah, you're more than a little behind the times. The Flash whitelist was removed from RT about half a year ago. I'm amazed your device was sold with the OS that badly out of date, in fact.
Oh, and Flash for Android was officially deprecated even earlier, and no longer works on most devices (plus the latest version available is badly outdated).

Shows the superiority of RT for web browsing. Fully fledged desktop browser, yet still plays nicely with touch. Sorry but chrome and firefox for android do not come even close to internet explorer, and I don't even like internet explorer normally, firefox probably comes closest but I have found to be generally more buggy in other areas and slower too so I discount that.
Kenif, update your surface.
Otherwise, OP, the site appears to work although I am genuinely surprised that there is no spotify app yet. That would be a much nicer solution.

you don't have to pay for the apps, all the apps do is give a nice interface to Spotify without opening the browser. They don't cost any more than the website.
Can you get Spotify for the RT yet as an app, I've used it for years, desktop at work, android tablet, android phone, now S-Pro tablet has it on for desktop and I have it on my N920 WP8 phone, one of the two apps I was missing on the RT was a wifi sniffer and Spotify...

48 hours, i think is for the prenium try, i use spotify since a long time, and i never spent anything.
Now i use the play.spotify.com on my RT and it work fine.
Prenium is great when you listen a long time... because after X hours ( i dont remember how many) you can't listen anymore. Prenium is pretty cool too, if you want to listen your music without any connection...
On a tangent...
If you're in the UK and on Virgin Media, they normally offer you 3 to 6 months of spotify premium for free
Yup free trial here from VM, although I did used to pay for it, I was on a £35pcm o2 contract, once that finished and I moved to GiffGaff I was paying £10pcm so the £9.99 for Spotify still meant I was paying less.
Once my trial is up then I'll see if I can get another trial, I only really use Spotify when driving to/from work as I dont have a stereo in the car...

Clearly you didnt even read the original post which asked and had answered the very same question. Yes play.spotify.com works if you have either updated the software so flash player works on all sites (quite an old update now) or use the whitelist tool (and if you need the whitelist tool you are months behind update wise and should really drop into the windows update tool some time)
I tried it on my android smartphone after 48 hours i cannot hear any song ... "no streaming without premium"

Just bought my surface yesterday. I had to install a ton of updates. It was installing updates dated several months ago. You can easily sideload flash on most android phones and if you use the right browser it works ok but not great.
