Looks like theres been an update to the android market, seems to now show a carrier specific section(ATT in my case) and removes the downloads button(still accessible by using the menu key).
Samsung Galaxy Captivate Rooted
I don't see the carrier specific part. Still says Downloads on the far right, but then again I'm using an HD2...
What i really hate about the android market that its different view from each device, carrier, ver. Of android, i know its for applications working on specific versions, but it's just insane.
Oh, and don't forget the country filter too. :S
sent from my x10i that is banging for a 2.1 upgrade. ...
For whatever reason I`m not getting the update and I download it from here and after trying to install said application not installed, I`m rooted. can someone help please
yeah I haven't received the update for the Android market yet
This is nothing new to Sprint, Verizon, and T-Mobile customers. Just select "downloads" from the menu and quit crying.

Hello, This post is intended for users where the following list of conditions below are true, although I'm obviously more than happy for any others to put in any input....
You own a Desire S
You live in the UK
You have a SKY TV subscription (or the house you live in does)
You have a SKY ID user login and have registered your device to access SKY Go
You have installed the SKY GO applicaton
Your device is rooted
You are running a GB based ROM (ie not ICS)
SKY have written then application so that it won't work on rooted devices, even though some people on other devices have managed to bypass this. Some users have had success in using the application OTA RootKeeper which backs up and then hides a devices root (su) - which out of interest will permit rooted users from successfully using Google Play (aka The market) for downloading and watching movies.
No matter what I do now, use the hide root (su) app which works fine, clear the data from SKY Go, de-install it and then re-install the app, when I put in my SKY ID credential I always get the following erorr "PIN Error You have entered an incorrect PIN" (see attachment for screen shot) even though there is no PIN to enter as part of the setup (its not related to my SKY box PIN as that is working fine and I've configured SKY Go to not require any age restrictions)
I would really love to resolve this as want to be able to watch Football from my wonderful device when I'm away from home, and I can't even consider returning my phone to stock in case anyone suggests that.
This application annoyingly hasn't yet been updated by SKY to function on any ICS ROMs.
This is the official link to the SKY Go App thread but is is multi device and therefore in excess of 50 pages with greater than 1500 posts mostly of people saying doesn't work on my device...so I thought I would trap up my local resources (eg you).
[APP] Sky Go for Android (UK ONLY)
As always many thanks to anyone that's even read this far , let alone who bothers to add anything....Cheers
Much as I'd love to help you mate, I'm kinda stuck. It turns out that you can only use Sky Go if you re a direct Sky customer - no use to me as I subscribe through my Virgin Media package. Bit peed-off at that discovery to be fair.
The app fires up OK on my Desire, but I obviously can't sign in. I'm going to chat to a mate of mine about 'borrowing' his Sky details so I can test it on my phone and I'll let you know if I get anywhere with it.

That would be much appreciated. When I first downloaded the Sky Go app I was able to log into it ok, but I was unable to access the channels through it (as the device was rooted).
At that point I had an entry in the Settings-> Accounts & Sync for Sky Go
If I now attempt to add the sky go account through settings add account, when logging in with the correct credentials (that work on the sky website) I also get the same PIN error as shown in the attached screen shot on post #1
it seems that since I've un-installing and re-installing the app (or it may have been auto updated by the market) I can't seem to get that account back as I get the PIN error on entering my sky credentials now, even though previously they went into the app without any issues.
Let me know if you get hold of your mates SKY details and that would assist greatly, this may be a non-starter but would appreciate at least one other person trying!
Thanks

Errhhgg!! bloody iBollox, unfortunately I know it works on that pile of ####...thanks all the same though.
For some stupid reason SKY have had an iPhone application for years and have only just realised that the majority of the world actually uses Android so have finally released a poor quality Android based application (which doesn't even work on ICS showing their real level of commitment and the degree in which they're taking Android seriously!)
My selfish prime concern - is all about rooted GB though, much appreciated that you're willing to try to give it a go though....Much Thanks

Ok, sorry for the late reply!
Believe me, it wasn't my choice on the iPad
I'm already frustrated with the lack of homescreen customization on it! And lack of utility apps (widgets, shortcuts etc)
Ok, didn't get a chance to try it on the Sky Go app, I can't find the bloody ID stuff, so instead I downloaded Google Movies.
This app requires you to NOT be rooted.
I ran the app first, and it came up saying I couldn't use it, as I was rooted...
Then I ran the app you said, and 'disabled' root. Then I ran Google movies, and it is working now! It's detected my device as unrooted! I didn't even reboot after 'disabling' or close the Movie app!
So, the app definetly works... But I couldn't test it on Sky GO, only Google Movies. But the sane theory should apply right? Maybe you could try it on Google movies? Then we can See whether it May just be sky Go not detecting.
Hope that is of some help!

Some screenshots if it helps!
1) I first ran play movies app
2) I used the app to 'unroot/disable root' the device
3) I ran Google play movies, and it worked!
Appreciate the effort Oly,
Unfortunately I'd already tried the un rooting and google market
Was just the sky id and sky go bit that I needed verifying
From home using your sky box which will show your viewing card number and other details that along with some personal stuff like name and address should enable you to get a sky id setup
In order to test sky go or no go as it's been for me
No hurry, thanks all the same
Fortunately my wife has an un rooted DS so I can use her phone if I need, but you know how it is, I want it to work on mine

Sent from a Desire S waiting for Kernel 3. WAKE UP HTC!!!!
I don't get the pin error so can't help with that.
I can open the app and view channels but they just buffer at 0% forever. With the exception of sky new which restarts the app.
I tried flashing a pre rooted stock rom and hiding root using voodoo and I was able to watch sky news but premium channels still didn't work. From reading the thread in the android application and games folder it looks like you need to edit the default.prop within the kernel as well as hide root.
I don't have a clue how to do this but I'm going to give it a go when I get time later! Hopefully we can get it working I'm surprised more people aren't working on this as it has the potential to be one of the best android apps out there
See this thread for details on the changes needed to the kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535688

Looks I have to use a stock based rom so have edited a stock rom just about to flash here's hoping it works!
A stock ROM that is a Bugger, I love Endy too much to move from it
Swyped from my DesireS
I know what you mean mate but for Sky Sports on my my phone I think I can live with it!
I have attached the modified boot.img if you want to try it I can confirm it is working for me using Hyperion V2.1 with the boot.img modified and root hidden using voodoo
Well that's well worth it, brilliant work.....THANKS
If only I hadn't recently deleted my old backup of that ROM, I suspect one may still be on my PC
I wonder how it checks to see if we're on stock? Did you see if it works on stock sense v3.0?
Is it worth editing the build.prop file and replacing values, in an attempt to fool it further? without having to switch bases?
When I get an opportunity (probably the weekend) I'll try that.
Swyped from my DesireS
I used Hyperion v2.1 and changed so.secure to 1 within the default.prop in the kernel.
Great Rom on its own anyway think i'll just stick with this until another solution is found.
Here is a link to download it from my dropbox. http://db.tt/VISCrZ2y
Let me know if you managed to get it to work on Endy!
Just hide root BEFORE you install the sky go app and it should work fine.
I am using CM9 but still cant get this to work I have tried hiding root and using the modded skygo but still no luck. really do not want to go back to stock rom.
I am guessing nobody has had any more joy with this?
[Q] Words with Friends Notifications showing in "Ongoing" section of system tray
Let me start by saying that we have two Samsung Galaxy S3 phones on Verizon Wireless running Android Jellybean 4.1. One of the phones has this problem and the other does not. The problem started happening last night (about 3 days after the upgrade to Jellybean). To date, I have tried clearing the program data, uninstalling, reinstalling and the problem persists.
Here is the problem. When I have a few scrabble (Words with Friends or WWF) games going and it is my turn, WWF shows a message at the top saying "You have N moves to play" where N is the number of games waiting on my play. That notification then shows in my "Ongoing" notification section of the system tray. This is annoying because A: I cannot dismiss the alert, B: it's ugly, C: my other phone does not have this issue.
The ONLY way to dismiss the notification is to turn off notifications on the game itself, which I don't want to do. Or, I could (of course) make a move on all games waiting on my turn....What should happen is the game should cause a standard system notification when someone else makes a move. Then I can either select the notification or dismiss it...it SHOULD NOT always show how many moves I have.
Each phone is running the exact same version of WWF and Jellybean. On my other phone, when I have games waiting on my play, WWF does not display an alert to tell me how many moves I have.
What gives?

I worked with the words with friends support and they could not resolve it. Since I first wrote the original post the only change that has occurred is that my phone has the same problem as my wife's. I eventually disabled all notifications from the game..... So annoying!
They never cleared this up. I have two devices (Nexus 7 and Sprint Galaxy S3) that have this problem. Both devices are running on CyanogenMod 10.1-- Android version 4.2.2 and on neither device can I just clear the notification for Words With Friends. What allows an app to have persistent reminders?

Wish I knew...Once I disabled the notifications, I ended up losing games because I didn't know that someone made a move (for a while I was going into the game daily to check but that got annoying)...so my last resort was to uninstall the game.
I have the same problem, I keep hoping that each update would fix this...

I think that is how it supposed to work with the new version of the game. It does it on my S4 as well.. I'll see an icon in the task bar and then when I open the notification area it shows there to as well.

The problem is that it's not consistent with all devices. So either something is wrong for us or Zynga messed up their programming. We know that the official update added ongoing notifications, but not for everyone
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I tried installing an older version of the game (5.7.0), and the new persistent notification style is still here. I feel like they are pushing that notification to our devices no matter what version...

I've been having some troubles with the official NFL Gamepass app on my Nexus 5. Whenever I try to watch a game or the NFL Network live stream, I get an error message saying the there is an error playing the selected video.
The app works fine on my Nexus 7 tablet with Android 4.3, on my brothers Samsung S4 Android 4.3, on all my PCs and on my old iPhone. So I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with my network. I've also tried it on 4G, which results in the same error message.
I'm in contact with NFL Gamepass support, but they haven't been really useful so far. The only thing they've suggested was rebooting the phone, reinstalling the app and wanting to know my location and public IP address.
What I wanted to ask is if anyone else with Android 4.4 KitKat could test this. I think it must have something to do with the Android version, but I can't be sure because I have no other 4.4 devices to test it on.
Same here! Working well on Nexus 7 with 4.3 but no good at all on Nexus 5 with 4.4... I guess it's a KitKat issue...

That means I won't be upgrading my Nexus 7 until this is fixed, since I use that device most when watching games.
I've had some more back and forth with the support guys and I'm pretty sure they don't have a clue what they're talking about. They asked for my location and IP address, which I thought was kind of weird. Gave it anyway and got a mail saying they "unlocked" my IP address and that it should be working now. Never mind that I already told them other devices on the same network were working fine and that I had the same issues on 3G or 4G. I also don't get a static IP from my ISP, so I don't know what they're talking about.
I asked for more help, we'll see how it turns out.

It's KitKat (4.4). NFL Game Pass doesn't work on it, expect an update 1st week of Dec. :fingers-crossed:

Alright, let's hope they fix this soon.
My Nexus got udated yesterday to Kitkat as well and I got the same problem - cannot play any video from NFL Game Pass right now....anyone got an official response on this?
Regardless, good thing is that there is still workaround possible. I'm still able to see any videos from NFL Game Pass through XBMC. Just use one of the nightly builds that is working on Kitkat, add NFL GP addon and here you go. It's not that convenient to use as an official NFL app howeve you can still watch all the games you want and we going to have many of those tomorrow. So there is still some time left to set it up.
Has anyone ever managed to get AT&T Visual Voicemail to show in the stock dialer app? I'm aware of AT&T's crappy VVM app, but I was really hoping someone knew of a flag, adb command, patch, hack, whatever to get in to show in the dialer when on AT&T. I had this feature on iPhone and Windows Phone in the past and it seems strange that AT&T and Google can't seem to play nice on this. The last thread I found on this topic was several months ago and just directed the poster to use the separate app, I'm hoping to avoid that.
