[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

No I am running 2.1

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!

Sweet, man! Just got it and it's been streaming Sirius over 3g for half an hour with no issues.

It always worked over 3G for me, since the day it was released. Not sure why you had problems.

Hbo Go

Hey guys, from what I understand, the hbo go app used to say this device is not compatible but I recently tried sideloading again using the barebones cm7 Rom which is preconfigured to have a modified build.prop so it can use more apps. So basically it starts up now and I can use it but the problem is that it force closes the moment I click sign in. Is there any solution?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda premium

It's worked for me on every version of CM7 that I've tried.

I am running CM 9, so of course it is different, but the issue may have to do with the Kindle itself. I spent some time yesterday on tracking down the APK, even going back to earlier versions and it will not run for me at all.

try this it works on my kindle
turn off your wifi
install hbogo
when it ask to connect to internet then turn on wifi
then you can add your user account info and HBOgo works
the only drawback ive experienced is that you have to turn off wifi and repeat this every time you use HBOgo
but it does work for me

Yes, every little bit of info may be useful to someone.

I am not sure if others have had issues with HBO Go since the May 4th update. I started getting the force close and was unable to sign in again. Well I am happy to report after finding an older version of the apk file on this very site - I am up and running again. It is the HBO Go 7 apk file.
Does anybody have an older version of the Max Go apk?
I hope this helps some of you.

Anyone have any luck getting this to run with any of the CM9 ROMs? I just get the not compatible message and nothing else. The trick of turning off wifi doesn't make any difference here.

It was updated recently (last week) and now works with cm9, I was using it today.

Really? Still not working for me. Using the 1.4 version and still getting the "HBO GO is not supported on this device" message. I am on the Reloaded CM9 ROM. Which one are you using? Do you still have to use the workaround from the stock ROM (turn off Wifi, start app, turn it back on)? That also does not seem to work for me.

I used it today as well. I am on hellfire ICS 1.2.

I am using the stock rom but it still does not work

Same problem on my rooted stock ROM. It used to work well until the latest Amazon update.

I am now seeing news stories that say Kindle Fire will get HBO GO app support on June 10 with the start of the new True Blood season. Check it out. Wonder if that means it will work on CM9 ROMs?

This is what worked for me.

Drive link available via Samsung

Does anyone think the app will work on our phone? Looks like it's released for the international version.

I just installed this. Seems to work just fine. Good looking, as far as Car Mode apps go, but perhaps not as powerful. Still, I think that I'll be using it a lot. Also, it seems to expect TouchWiz apps, so don't be surprised if it doesn't work right on an AOSP rom.

Looks good, but it would be nice if you could add extra apps to have access to in the interface. Of course, I doubt that will happen because it's designed to work with mirrorlink and follows some safety precautions.
Think I'll stick with Google CarHome.

I have it working on myphone running stock not rooted (yet) but weather dont work and i thought it was supposed to read your email? i installed for that but I don't think thats the case.

I used it on my drive home yesterday afternoon and found that the weather wasn't working for me either. Seems that it is too dumb to recognize the location services enabled on the phone, or maybe it just doesn't like Verizon. Still, even with GPS enabled and locked it couldn't figure it out. I suppose that's why they haven't released a NA version yet. Hopefully they just release it and don't let the carriers get involved. Also, I don't have a car with Mirror link so I don't know if that's working or not.

I too have noticed the the weather as well as temp controls were not functional. I also came across some functionality issues with adding shortcuts within the app. While the overall look is nice it just feels incompatible with our Verizon SGS3's. \
After a little searching I found and side loaded the google Car Home app and am blown away by how smooth it is by comparison. Bonus for being transparent and showing my live wallpaper, it's the little things that matter sometimes. :good:

Same with AT&T S3.
BTW which google car home app?

Car Home from Google
I got them on XDA somewhere a while back pulled for another phone. They work fine on the GS3.
See Attached.

So I don't know if it is because I was still connected to WiFi in my driveway or because I've rebooted the phone once or twice since installing the Drive Link app, but this morning on my way to the airport Drive Link had both location and weather. Furthermore, where I had previously been seeing some weird data icon in the pseudo status bar (H+?), today I saw a normal 4G icon. I didn't notice it updating the location as I went (i.e. the weather stayed stuck at my departure location), but it's entirely possible that I didn't notice as a function of being tired. Regardless, it seems that this app actually works! Can someone try rebooting and/or enabling GPS outside while still connected to WiFi to confirm/narrow down what needs to happen to get this app working?

This is most likly because you were still connected to the wifi network and it downloaded the data once you got a lock. When I plug mine into the car it disables my 3G as it thinks I'm USB tethering to a PC because thats where the data for Mirroring travels through. That should be fixed with the US release.

Wifi tethering?

I'm about to root and was wondering which rom allows you to Wifi tether without being charged by tmobile?

rooting a friends phone:

Try Open Garden or WiFi Tethering (root) apps from market.

You've conflated a couple questions here.
"Which ROMs have a built-in feature for WiFi tethering?"
Most, if not all, do.​
"Given that T-Mobile generally prohibits tethering, is there a way that I can tether in a way that I am not blocked by T-Mobile?"
Yes, there are several ways that you can make the traffic appear as though it originated on your phone. Most, if not all, of these are applications, use of things like VPN or ssh tunneling, or configuration of your tethered clients. There are several approaches. Search is your friend on finding one that works for you and that you are comfortable with.​

Yes that works or just go to settings>wireless and networks>tethering. No need for an app if its built in but if you want one there's plenty to choose from

Wifi tethering used to work no problem on my phone but T-Mobile very recently seems to have changed something where they can detect it - on ICS ROM's - and block it in the browser on your computer. It takes a few link clicks to get the blocked page.
For this - I have to switch to a google related user agent to not have wifi tethering blocked.

that's funny, i'm using aokp (latest team acid build), and i was just using wifi tethering with no problems at all. not to mention that i'm not even supposed to have it since i have the new plan "truly unlimited 4g." the problem i do have though is usb tethering. i gave my team members a log to see if its fixable the other day, but haven't heard anything yet. its no big deal to me unless i wanna use it to tether my pc when our dsl daily cap is reached (which is everyday, but "i" don't use the pc everyday). basically just gave em the log to try and help those who do want/need it.

It was new for me. And only through the browser. Still connects no problem but after several clicks it will pop up a T-Mobile page saying I don't have the tethering package. I am on Raver's ICS Audiophile.

I was tethering just fine on vacation last week, until I got a text message from T-mobile saying they were blocking it, and sure enough it quit working.
I gotta look into the user agent spoofing I guess... at least before my next trip.
(All three of the hotels I was in were changing $5-10 for internet!)

T-Mobile is on a roll!
Didn't actually think they were gonna give something for nothing did ya.
They know that with strategic planning...(lower the plan price and give you more data)....if they give a little....you'll want more,so now they can ask for more,and sleep soundly when they go to bed at night.

So mine got blocked too, took me a couple of hours last night but found a way around it using Bluetooth Open Garden and VPN combination. Back to free tethering....victory over TMobile!....for now at least.

So using just the VPN client still blocked you??

Yeah, but it's possible that was just because I was trying multiple solutions. I'll look at it again tonight and see if I can substitute the Bluetooth with WiFi and keep it working. I think it might be in my proxy settings....it was late and I was happy to just get access.

Or you can change the user agent for your browser and just use wifi tethering as you normally would. It is a pretty simple fix.

I thought with Google Chrome you have to have the Developers Tools open for that to persist. Is there a simple way to make it stick without having to have the developer tools window open? Thanks.
Edit: Ok, so tried the APN switch on Google chrome last night and it did work, while the developers tools window is open. Only issue was that some of the sites that my wife uses that have display issues on mobile web now have the same issue on the PC...I'm not talking about page layout, but specific links and options not displaying....the reason she still needs to use the PC in the first place. I can definitely recommend the APN fix to people being blocked by Tmobile as a quick simple fix as previously stated in this thread. It took a little longer to set up, but I'm sticking with the VPN for full functionality.
Regarding the wifi use with VPN; I haven't been able to get it to work yet, so sticking with the Bluetooth for now.

Q; Fios Mobile app

Hi. Need a little help here. I am a FIOS subscriber and I can watch a few select channels on my GS3(outside of my home network) thru the app. Problem is, they only allow the NFL Network to play on tablets outside of the house. I wanna trick the Fios Mobile app into thinking I'm on a tablet, so I can watch Thurs night football if I'm not home. I tried the app settings module to change the DPI, but it did not work. It changed the DPI for the app like it is supposed to , but I still can't get the NFL Network channel to show up. Do I have to uninstall the app and change the dpi of my whole phone, and then download it maybe? Dont want to try it yet before I get a little advice. Any help would be great. Thx

First of all, congratulations I have Comcast and they suck. I would switch to Verizon but they don't have FiOS available in my area. Second, I think it's possible here's a link discussing this topic:

Thanks, I love my fios. Hope you can get it eventually. Anyways, Thanks but I already saw that post the other day. The xposed module trick didnt work for me. It changed the screen size to really tiny but still no NFL Network on my phone tho. I also tried the market helper module too. I wish I knew if it is the apk, when I download it from the playstore that installs it as a phone apk, or is the apk the same for phone or tablet and it looks for certain settings or something, to know whether it is a phone or tablet? Thanks for the reply tho. Guess I'll make a nandroid and really dig in and start messing with the build.prop or something. Thx again.

I live in a Verizon area with no FIOS as well and Suddenlink sucks. Yeah, all I can figure is maybe changing your build.prop to say you have a tablet. I don't really have more details but I am pretty sure there's 1 line that specifies the device.
