[Q] Google Play movie rentals on rooted At&t HTC One X - Please help! - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Does anyone know if there is a workaround for rooted users to rent movies from the play store? I've tried OTA Rootkeeper with no joy. I'm running 1.85 stock

I do have the new jellybean playstore update. So far it seems this is problem is specific to HTC One X. Can anyone else confirm?

Doesn't work for me even after I hide root with OTA RootKeeper. This used to do the trick with my old Evo 4G. I wonder if the device/ATT itself is black-listed? Anybody with a clean unrooted stock device can try and see if Google Movies/TV works for them?

Works when stock...as soon as you root it will not work!

You can get a refund if you are having this problem. BTW has anyone figured out a work around yet?

I think there was a modded app floating around the Gnex forums...

What ROM are you running. The MyTouch4G/Glacier isn't on their officially supported list.
wooo hoooo finally!
version number? a lot of us have been running 1.3 for a while...
I just got the phone this past week and am still using an unrooted 2.3.4 MT4G. I got the app this past weekend, so it is supported.
Lmao. The mytouch 4g slide has official support. Not the regular my touch. If u are using unity or daddys port u will have show in the,market. But it still works non the less.

correct, some of the ROM builders have inputted a coding that makes the market think it's a officially supported phone.
Exactly...
Sent from my HTC Doubleshot using xda premium
I have 2.3.4, I just got the phone so its just the update from tmobile, but yeah, I downloaded netflix from the market and used it. Its version 1.3
So how did I get it? I wish I am that good, but I am not ;-) anyhow I have a brand new one, not rooted yet, and no plans on modding this phone until I read about the different rom's.

found that some ROM's seem to make the app dissapear on the market, however if you log in to your Netflix and go to streaming you can choose Android and it will take you to the app on your PC which will then DL to your MT4G...that's what I did. Works great.
Big applause for Netflix streaming on my phone
Did not know that that. Thanks for the heads up.

I think YouTube has a higher quality setting tucked away nicely that is only on wifi. The differences between high quality ("HD" on mobile) and real "HD" are very small and also dependent on what video you are watching. It is nice however to have the option now that we have blazing fast LTE.

Jelly Bean starting to roll out for the HTC One X!

It's starting in Europe and Asia, though there's a guy in the article comments who claims he's installing a new update on T-Mobile in Michigan:
http://www.theverge.com/2012/10/28/3565358/htx-one-x-jelly-bean-asia-europe
I'm hoping this might lead to more progress on the HTC One XL.
This is for the One X Tegra not the One XL, Still no word on the XL
Thanks for the clarification, XsMagical.
BTW, the commenter just clarified that the T-Mobile update was a false alarm:
"False alarm
It was weird. It downloaded a new system update, rebooted 7-8 times, and when it came back on it was still 4.0.4/Sense 4.1. Also, it had a restart error that I sent to HTC. I wonder if when I did that last update a month ago it never set in right? I used to run CM10 so maybe something is messed up?
I was so excited I got out of bed, oh well, I’ll blame Sandy."
I have a stock One XL awaiting the JB update and ive been checking a lot. Not ATT model.

Im still running ICS (4.0.4) and downloaded the skin awhile ago, you can see from my previous comment. I don't know what changed when they updated the skin. But it still works for me, unless there's some tweaks I don't know about. Lol

[Q] Liquid Smooth vs Carbon ROM

I flashed over carbon as I see the devs left team liquid. I honestly do not see any difference. But I do want the most stable. Especially partial reboots during normal tasks like enabling USB mode. Anyone else have thoughts? I hope this is the right thread. If not, mods can you correct it? Thank you.

All i know for sure is, i'm gonna do my best to get my hands on the next nexus phone. They're tough to get a hold of here though. Carriers and stores don't seem to carry them so I'll probably have to order it online.
Had the evo3d before this phone and while HTC tends to have a great build quality which I love. I am just so in love with stock android and the idea of getting updates as fast as they can be released is a sexy idea indeed.
Online is always the best option. But the play store (computer) should always carry them. Especially the nexus 4. 299 for an unlocked high end device? Can't beat that with a chicken bat
