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.

I LOVE this appA! Probably my most used, and it unfortunatly hangs on the game overview screen, after a short dimming of the screen. Real bummer for me bc everything else is working great for me on Froyo!
...does anyone have this running successfully on FroYo?? Ive tried pushing into system/app thinking protection was maybe an issue but to no success...any help would be greatly appreciated!
There was another thread on here with ppl that had problems with this same app after froyo was installed. It doesnt even show up in the app store for froyo users. I have an off topic question: does androids mlb at bat app show live video feed of games? I kno the iphone app does. Thanks.
no its audio only and i miss this app tempted to go back to cm because i miss my baseball

Only works with 2.1 so far, no 2.2 support thusly the darkened screen.
No wonder... I kept thinking MLB at Bat shut my app
off.
just curious...since the MLB app is just for phone access, has anyone tried connecting with their desktop service with flash? Did it work well? I have a hard time justifying purchasing the android app if i dont get comp access as well, especially since it may be possible to have both.
Have not tried myself...
Anyone maybe have a fix for this since this thread has been started though? Still seems to have same issue.
it works just fine for me running 2.2 manual update
No problems with it either, manual download
I was experiencing the non-responsive dimmed screen as well. I went into the application info screen under Settings >> Applications >> Manage Applications and cleared data, cleared cache, forced stop, reopened...and it worked like with 2.1.
What do you mean manual download... I've been wanting to download this and I can't find it on the marketplace
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
See my post on the main thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25801020&postcount=1803
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?
UPDATE
Development of this app will continue here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-spectrum-tv-aka-twc-tv-t3847520
Thanks for everyone who kept this project going!
Hello here you will find the most recent TWC TV App from the android market... except it has ALL restrictions removed, NO ADB checks, NO proxy checks, NO HDMI checks, NO ROOT checks, and best of all, a method to watch ALL the channels while you're away from home, not just SOME of the channels TWC let's you watch; this can be viewed over 3g/4g/wifi... hell even 1x lol.
NOW the part I like... and maybe the reason why the root check was implemented by TWC.... you can actually WATCH live TV on any wifi, 3g/4G network away from your home! all you need is a few tools and you're on your way.... if this is of no interest to you then just scroll down to the download link
To watch outside of the home network:
Install a proxy server on a machine inside your network (a computer that can play live tv from twctv.com successfully)
I use wingate FREE edition (http://wingate.com)
Make sure you configure your router to forward traffic on that port to your machine
as a side note, make sure you assign a static IP on your local machine so your router doesn't get confused
also make sure you go to whatsmyip.org and get your external IP address (as you'll need this for the android side)
Install an app from the android market called "Auto Proxy (ROOT)"
Configure Auto Proxy to connect to your machine... here you will enter the IP you got earlier from your home machine and the port you chose when you configured wingate...
Now activate AutoProxy and all traffic will be routed through your home computer (all apps, etc...) meaning when you use the timewarner app it will think you're inside your home network!!
Make sure you turn it off once you're done watching TV, otherwise you will be consuming all of your upload bandwidth and also slow down your speeds since it has to go through the proxy...
Profit!!
Some Notes:
This app should work on any phone with gingerbread and up. (Tested myself)
Feel free to donate It took me a while to learn how to do this and it took alot endless nights
I think i should also point out that I didn't use anyone else's code to do this; I'm a lone developer and just like the challenge
I am also working on a workaround to the proxy thing... a way to watch Live TV on your cellular network alone... no proxy required (I make no promises but i'm looking into it and hopefully I'll come up with something)
I'll also try to release a new version if updates are released... try and keep everything current
Questions? need a more detailed guide or anything else? just ask! I'm here to help ... (but see post #2 first)
The 3.21.14 app would not be possible without GreenNasty... THANKS!

Thanks to those that made decompiling/recompiling easy!!
Don't forget to hit that thanks button if this app works for you!
donations are also appreciated... modifying something without the source code is tough... and a cup of coffee can go a long way when coding thanks for your support!
Bug List
APP Version 3.2#44: Some users report that HD doesn't work as well with the new app. Time Warner did alot of changes due to the move to streaming away from home, that means that they definetely could have messed something up.... if HD is not working properly for you and want to try the previous version (2.6#36) feel free to download it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?s3evtfhdedy3061
If you wish to decompile the app yourself, i have included comments in most of the important parts of the code that i modified... i will admin, they are HARD to understand and modify, but if you're looking to do it yourself in the future, I've helped you out
Issues/Troubleshooting
If you have tried this app and it does not work for you then i need the following information:
are you using the proxy instructions I mentioned or using the app using your home network?
MAKE SURE your device is rooted
if you are then please test it on your home network first and make sure it works (whithout ANY proxy, etc...)... if it does then let me know what issues you get when you use wingate and Auto Proxy....
if it does work on your home network but not with the proxy, then please tell me detailed instructions on how you set it up or if you need a guide on how to do so
do you have internet service through time Warner?
what device are you using?
what rom and kernel are you using, and what versions? (if you don't what kernel then just tell me which rom and version and i'll figure it out)
Are you rooted? With Super SU or just SuperUser?
All of the above checked? then i will need a logcat while the app is running Feel free to pm me the logcat ONLY after you have posted what i've requested and I'll let you know to send me a logcat... i don't want to receive random logcats and will ignore them if i haven't seen your information in this thread first!
Logcats can be taken via: adb shell logcat
OR adb shell and then type logcat, you can use the -f parameter to save it to a file rather than copying it from your command prompt to a file...
If there is anything else you think i should know, then please post that as well.... any little bit of information WILL help, trust me
I am committed to help.... but please help me by following the above instructions to make both our lives easier!
Thanks!

I know i haven't posted yet, but i recently got the TWC TV app and found that it doesn't work on Rooted devices or EVEN if you have ADB on!! anyways, I'm a developer but in a different language, nevertheless I looked around the forums and figured out how to modify the APK and came up with this... what better way to do my first post huh? lol

I really do not understand why they care if rooted / debugging is turned on?
I mean its at least a little understandable if one has an unlocked
bootloader and running on a non-standard rom.

There is competing theories on why they care... one of the reason i can think of (which i said in the OP) is that you can use a root app to enable traffic tunneling through a proxy (thus circumventing their "home network") restriction
Is this the phone version of the app?? Just wondering because I'm trying to get it to work on my HP Touchpad with CM10 and the signed versions I have found for the tablet are around 5mb and yours its just under 2.
Thanks!

Not sure why you version is so much smaller but it works perfectly on my tablet. I have been searching high and low for a fix and this was it. I can't thank you enough!!!

I wish I could, unfortunately that's a problem on the server's end, not the app... sometimes certain channels are unavailable because tw is having an issue on their end.... unless you're getting the error on every channel... right now I think Disney channel is having that issue, is it happening with a lot of channels?
Works great on nexus 10 running cm10.1 nightly thank you! I had to edit files after updating ROM now I don't have to, appreciate your work. HDMI would be a big bonus, cheers mate.

I will happily test it, i picked up a $10 cable from walmart, its a bit short but should do the trick. I managed to poke around in the code myself, dont know what the hell im doing, but thought i would give it a go. Anyway doing a file compare with your version and the stock version, i can see quite a few changes which im sure took quite a bit of time, so i want to say Thank You again!!!

I'm working on it right now.... just wanted to know: do you get an error message when you plug in the HDMI cable anywhere in the app? like even if you're not watching live tv? or only when you're tuned in to a channel?

glad to hear!
I'm working on it right now.... just wanted to know: do you get an error message when you plug in the HDMI cable anywhere in the app? like even if you're not watching live tv? or only when you're tuned in to a channel?

I wish I could, unfortunately that's a problem on the server's end, not the app... sometimes certain channels are unavailable because tw is having an issue on their end.... unless you're getting the error on every channel... right now I think Disney channel is having that issue, is it happening with a lot of channels?

I heard TWC app have troubles with some checkings with some ROMS maybe removing the checking when that message is shown. Look I tested on iPad, iPod, iPhone and. Samsung Galaxy Tab Android and works perfect but specific the problem is on Amazon Kindle 8.9 with iOs 8.1.4 and others in every channel no some channel is every channel the message and the message appears in no more than 30 seconds, in other words you only have around 30 seconds of video in any channel and the message is shown and other people have the same issues. If you have the code and you can check the message when is shown and remove the condition or if you have the source maybe we can see when the message is shown I can see to have an idea. If you look inside other forums in this webpage there are other people with dame problem in other devices.
Thank you

Can you tell me what specific message comes up? there's different messages that come up for different scenarios, if it's only "this channel is currently unavailable at this time" then i need to know specifics... what device, what android version, rooted or not.... a logcat of the app running would also be nice... I also don't understand what you mean by "iOS 8.1.4", afaik iOS is only on apple devices ... this fix is only applicable to android devices.
Let me know if it's happening to you and let me know the specifics i mentioned and i'll see what i can do about it.
Hello xda-guys, devs, user and everyone else.
Since I got an Android phone, i startet to love it and still up today I can't imagine to have another mobile OS. When I swapped a few years ago to a MVNO, the pain begun:
When using your Android phone with a MVNO, it is saying that you are roaming. So you have to activate "data usage while roaming", get a lot of annoying warnings and if you live near a border, you can look forward to a very high phone bill.
This issue is only on Android, no Windows phone, no iOS, not even and unbelievable old Nokia does have this problems!
The problem is (well?) known at google since 2009 (!!!) and all over the world, but google is ignoring it:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3499
Unfortunately, most people around the world don't even know that this is a problem! Even the manuals from the MVNO's are saying that you just have to activate data usage while roaming, altough they know that this can rise your bill when you live near a boarder... (Or do they want exactley that?!)
I love my Android, but without any hacks or rooting to solve this problem, it is useless!
I don't want anymore to be forced to root my phones and search for a hack, patch or anything else when there is a new version.
Only Samsung implementet it in their firmware which solves this problem. But it can't be that I need to use only Samsung phones in the future?
With upcoming root "problems" of Lollipop and also ART it is getting more difficult to find solutions for that problem.
Maybe here on XDA, there are more people haveing the same annoying problem and are maybe also as fed up as I am about that problem.
So there is my question, what can we all together do, that this problem will be solved once and forever directly by google?!
I can't imagine that this is taking more time then two days of coding by one person sitting on the right place...
Sorry for my bad english and I hope that there are many other people like me sitting there and are also as fed up as I am about that problem. If i start to think about it, I would like to throw my phone away and start useing my brick old Nokias again.... I just can't understand why this problem isn't fixed since years...
PS: If I posted this in the wrong section, I'm sorry. Please move it then to the right section.
Seems that the national roaming issue isn't annoying anyone other?
This is definitely annoying me. My Xperia T had support for my MVNO built in, but my Huawei didn't until the last update (EMUI 3 beta). Xposed framework stopped working after an update, so I couldn't use the National Roaming plugin anymore. I was forced to enable roaming and download an app called network status notification. That way I could at least see if I was using 2g or 3g.
I have no idea how we can ask Google to do something about it, but if someone here on XDA can fix it, why can't Google fix it?
PS: EU roaming option would come in handy too
National roaming improved

i use the app from this site
https://blog.sprinternet.at/2013/12/android-roaming-statusicon-entfernen-inlands-roaming-mvno/
it works great for me!
it is open source but i don´t know how build apps... if somebody knows how to do the app is more then 1 year old but it works on lollipop and kitkat!
you only need root! no xposed!
direct link to the .apk
http://www.sprinternet.at/uu_wiki/MVNOroaming.apk
Thank you for this tip! I've searched a lot and found only script based solutions or the way via the xposed framework -which I actually do not need!
I'll try this in the evening.
But unfortunately, there is still no solution from google or without root...
That Google ignores it is unbelievable, but due the fact that I have root tyrol made my day with this tipp
Since the mod is the same as the Xfinity Steram App, I also modded this app.
Removed HDMI Check and Root Check. I also tried to make the app think that it's on Wifi or High Speed Mobile Network. This might or might not work. I'm trying this because this app seems to have low bitrate for the streams and it looked like when it drops to low quality it does not seem to recover. I'm not sure what causes this; but I was actually connected to Ethernet on my Shield Android TV Box and I have good bandwidth.
I only tested it on my Shield Android TV Box. Also note that it might not work on the Leanback Launcher and if it does You will need an Air Mouse. I have my Shield with a custom ROM that runs the full Android ROM and it works fine for me.

Can you explain how you removed the HDMI Check in the apk? I would like to remove it from Bell Fibe Tv app.
Thanks

That's a hard app to mod, the same with Virgin TV Anywhere. I modded an old version of Bell Fibe TV months ago and it was working fine but then it made me upgrade. I tried last week to mod it again and I gave up. I could not get the HDMI check removed after many hours trying.
It does work on my Laptop running Remix OS and using VGA to connect to my TV though. However on my Shield over HDMI it doesn't.
Could you provide the apk for the one you had working?

Don't have it anymore but it would not work anyways because the app won't start, it needs the new version
Maybe give this a try if you are using Android M or lower
http://www.tvboxforum.com/showthread.php?tid=903
This used to work for me on Marshmallow for the Bell Fibe TV App. I'm pretty sure it's not working on Nougat though
Thanks I'll give it a try.
The Contour App works great!!!

Anyone been able to test watching through VPN on the Cox app successfully?
I have an openvpn setup on my router and I am able to VPN from outside my home network on my laptop and watch all channels as if I was on my home wifi. However, when I try to VPN from my phone and watch through the Cox app, it acts like im on my home network just as my laptop did, but when I hit play the screen just sits there loading until it times out. This happens with the patched version of the app posted as well (not sure if it was patched to support this).
Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks all!

Open the Fibe TV apk with APK Editor in Your Android Box, you want to do a full edit
Search for mirror, you will find a hit on bools.xml
Change the value from true to false. Save the file and build the apk again, let me know if that works for You!
That gets rid of the mirroring error for me but gives me some other crappy connection error on my Shield Android TV Box. However it might work for You!

Not sure if this thread is still going or if I should start a new one. Just wondering if anyone had been able to look into modding the cox apk to function through a vpn (aka NOT in-home) successfully? Or if they can point me in the right direction. Thanks.
Could we get an updated version of of the app. If possible? I need
v4.10.2.007 because it's the only one that'll launch on my Mi Box
can you tell me what is is you did to remove this limitation? or would you mind doing the same for the spectrum apk?
At the moment it stopped working if I tried to login using a new shield tv I was trying to set it up with. Download works, chrome works but after I put my login credentials it saids the file is corrupt anyway to fix that? On my other shield tv it's been logged in so no problems with that, just can't add it to my new one.
