I have a theory that only Android phones running 4.4.2 get 1080p YouTube playback. My OnePlus One is on 4.4.2 and it has it. My M8 had it on 4.4.2, but it went away with the 4.4.3 update (Sense version and GPE). What are you Nexus owners getting?
More particularly, are those of you on the L preview getting 1080p?
Thanks!

I did read that when it was first posted a month ago
However, after numerous trials and errors, I have narrowed it down to just Android 4.4.2.
My M8 is right now a developer edition, and for both versions of 4.4.2 I had 1080p YouTube. After updating to 4.4.3 yesterday, the functionality immediately disappeared.
Same thing happened when my M8 was RUUed on GPE. 4.4.2 I had 1080p, but it disappeared for 4.4.3 and 4.4.4.
On the OnePlus One, I had it on 4.4.2 CM11S, and (IIRC), it disappeared in the 4.4.4 nightly that I tried out.
That's why I'm asking Nexus 5 owners if they've noticed anything different, being as if Google would give any phone new features it would be the Nexus 5.

Nexus 5
I use a Nexus 5 with Android 4.4.3 and I can choose every resolution between 144p and 1080p. I live in Germany, maybe that's an important information too, as the resolutions that are available seem to be server depended.
I get 1080p YouTube on 5.0.1
Could it be down to manufacturers (htc, Samsung etc) drivers not being implemented properly in the updates?
I'm making that assumption on it being hardware that is used to show the 1080p image, as in the GPU, Screen or the CPU dealing with it.
I get 1080p on this model the B1-730HD, the B1-730 has no 1080p, we do know the screens are different with people flashing the HD ROM on non-HD, everything seems ok until it has to display anything, simply corrupted.
If they've, say, implemented a generic screen driver you'd lose 1080p in my opinion.
As far as I know to date, updates to 4.4.x from 4.2.x are still capable of 1080p.

Everyone gets 1080p now if your device supports it. If not, then update your YouTube app or your device is simply an older one which can't handle it.

My previous post wasn't directed at you. it was a statement since people bumped this old thread saying their 1080p device gets 1080p, but Google has completed the rollout and everyone should have the option if applicable.
Attempting to play 1080p on a non-capable device (screen and/or hardware) has been mentioned in another thread before I think, and yeah it just causes issues.

Tell you what then, instead of only offering the obvious (and seeing as nobody else has put anything to the contrary of it being fixed!) try a link or anything else that doesn't just sound like a 12 year old because that 'statement' was as informative as a Party Political Broadcast - only idiots believe the hype they spew out....
A device had issues with an (here's the important bit ) Update, then something doesn't work, simply stating to update the device (which if what they do, as you say, would cause the problem!! Duh!) is about as much use as an ashtray on a motorcycle! :banghead:

When is Android getting a Netflix app that supports streaming?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
iOS and WP7 have it? Why not Android?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I have a Netflix account that begs to be streamed on my 7" Samsung Galaxy Tab.
My Tab works fine with several video streaming sites - but Netflix refuses to install directly from their web site...saying that my device is not supported.
I understand the process. But I'm growing a strong resentment of Netflix's attitude about this whole thing. They imply that they just haven't certified that the Galaxy Tab is compatible with their streaming service. Yet many comparable android devices are. Sheesh, how long could it take to check that out?
I have a feeling that Netflix has made a deal somewhere to delay or obfuscate the use of devices competitive to the iPad (or maybe some other tablet). Who knows?
But it is frustrating to say the least.
i had read somewhere that netflix did not want to release it until all problems were worked out, and since there are many different versions of Android (EVO, DESIREHD, NEXUS) they wanted to have a universal. To say the least android required more from the dev team. Should be out very soon, but if not im sure there are leaks somewhere.
There are several similar threads in other device forums so I thought why not start one here. If the mods think this is in the wrong section or a bad idea please delete.
We can also use this thread for the development of XBMC for Transformer if anyone is up to making a Transformer specific build.
Okay so as of the time of this posting there is no "Transformer XBMC" specific version so I'm using one of the generic builds. "xbmcapp-armeabi-v7a-debug-20120714.apk" is the name of the one I found. Link
Works:
Nothing - It crashes back to home screen after launching.
Bugs:
That's it for now. I'll keep monitoring this thread and post updates to the OP if possible.
I should note that this same apk works for my Galaxy S3 and my wifes EVO 4g with little to NO problems.
Same problem here, works on galaxy note and tab 10.1, transformer simply dies on launch...

It's not a bad idea but should be in apps and not development. Seeing there is no development just bug reports.

@bkmo - Good point. Can a mod please move this to the correct section? Thanks.
As far as development goes I was hoping that maybe we could use this thread to attempt to compile xbmc from source for Transformer. I've compiled on other platforms before but I have no experience with Android.
Anyway maybe an actual developer would be better suited to post a thread on xbmc development.
Check General section i had already started a thread for XBMC on TF101 maybe we can continue there

according the the xbmc wiki http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=XBMC_for_Android_specific_FAQ#Installing.2Fgetting_XBMC_for_Android tegra2 devices will not be supported.
NOOOOOOO!
It works perfectly on my Rezound and my friend said it works on his TF201 but looks horrible.
It doesn't work because the Tegra 2 doesn't support Neon instruction set. The chances of it ever working on a Tegra 2 are slim to none.
That news is a bummer...

Its quite sad but I personally i dont think id have much use for it on my tf. Im running XBMC on my original xbox and I dont think you could get a better inexpensive media centre
You definitely can and it's a Raspberry Pi with Android or Linux The original Xbox doesn't seem to support anything higher than 480 because the processor can't handle the load, I've tried.

Yeah and you can't even find them anywhere. I've been on the official list for months. I have 3 original xbox's at home running XBMC but for all my HD media I have several apple TV 2's running XBMC. It rocks!
I can think of several applications for running XBMC on my transformer. For one, my kids can watch all my HD media from my local server rather than deal with Netflix's crappy lack of selection.
Check out this kickstarter project: Equiso smart TV. I'm thinking of pledging for one and hopefully XMBC will run on it.
Works great on HTC one X. I was able to download video add-ons, get weather etc. Only issue I had was tiny keyboard, had to use a touch pen. I have big hands lol.

Anyone knows why is Note 8 incompatible with this game? Is there any way for me to buy this game for my Note 8?
Thanks.
I got it via (must be rooted) Market Helper. I spoofed my Note 8 to a S3 or something. Paid for the upgrades and I've been enjoying the game thus far! One lame thing compared to the IOS version is there is no online multiplayer only local via bluetooth.
Probably won't help for you to know but it installed flawlessly from the Playstore for me, unrooted latest firmware US Wifi edition.

Ur the man! I wanted to play this on my S4 and you just got me the solution! Thanked!
That solution didn't work for me. Strangely even when I spoofed it to a N7, it also didn't work though some of my apps started downloading the tablet version. In the end I installed a cracked version. It's s pity they disallowed because the game works flawlessly on Note 8.
Hi,
I was battling with the same issue on my Note 8. I noticed that the Amazon appstore also had Magic 2014 listed so i decided to give it a shot. Apparently the Amazon appstore doesnt check for compability so i was able to download it and the game works just fine. Had some issues with the in-app purchase but that was because I didnt have 1-click purchasing enabled on Amazon.com since i normally use .co.uk.
Lol. I have it installed...
2 months ago or so, when it was released, it worked without any problems. Can not test it at the moment, if its still running, but will tomorrow.

Well good for you. The thing is that not everyone got around to downloading it from the play store before they added the compability check. People were able to install it on phones as well and not just tablets. They probably added the compability check so people could only download it on tablets since everyone and their mother was down rating the app because they were trying to play it on 3.5" phone screens. Obviously things like "designed to be played on tablets" dont matter to people if they are able to download it on a phone.
Now back to the original issue. The compability issue appears to be a problem with the Note 8 since according to some sites it identifies as a Note 2 and thats why the play store says it's not compatible. Apparently there are some bank app's in the US that are having the same issue. I'm not Android savvy so dont know how to check if this is true so just hoping that there will be an update for the device to fix it before this issue gets bigger with other programs.

I can confirm that this still works. Just downloaded it and updated and it's working fine on my Note 8
Hi,
I have this tablet that belongs to my dad. I have noticed that apps aren't longer compatible with it so I would like to upgrade it for him to 4.4.2 ( latest so at time of posting).
This is a £50 amazon droid so is nothing special but for the life of me I can't find what it is so I can find a rom for it! If anyone can help out it would be appreciated..
Sorry photos are upside down!

Isn't that processor an Allwinner A20?
There are some threads on xda-developers forum about rooting them.
There are also some threads on google about 4.2.2 for when searching for "wing k70 eng", however I do not think anyone has made a KitKat ROM for this processor yet.
Thanks captain, that kind of ruins it then! Can't seem to install what's app on it and that's the only reason they wanted it! Oh well lesson learnt

I just purchased a "Jetstream 4K Ultra HD Android TV Box" from Walmart to replace my aging WD Play. Has anyone had any experience using or rooting these devices? I ask, because I've de-Googled my phone via root, and I'd like to keep this as Google-free as possible. Thanks!
I would also love to know if anyone knows how to root this. I have searched everywhere I can think of but have came up with no definitive solutions..
Can you use any 905x ROM? Are these any good at all? Stock is questionable for sure
Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
I guess these are locked up?
I've loaded a codec for mx player pro that plays everything ive tried so far so is that as good as it gets.
Is this thread still around or do my messages fall on deaf ears? I guess as the manufacturers get better and google does their thing, rooting hasn't seemed as needed as it once was. My Galaxy s8 definitely doesn't need it as it does all the things I once needed root to do. My assumption these devices are there or they are close enough.
