hello guys, i'm one of the Megavideo application developer. let me say something about the current situation.
Megavideo asked us to remove our application because it lacked some key features, such as an integrated video player and other things. we are currently working on their implementation, so a new version of the application is expected to be released sooner or later. unfortunately, we can't give you any kind of ETA, because these features are very hard to do.
one more thing. we know that many of you still have the 0.64 version of the application, which isn't working anymore. that is not our fault: Megavideo.com changed a bit its systems, so the application is incompatible with it. the fix is pretty straightforward, but we cannot release a temporary one, we have to work on the official until it's completed! sorry for that..
anyway, if you want more informations, or if you have got any questions or if you even want to help us, please visit us at MegaDevs or send us a mail at [email protected]
we are very fast in answering, so please write us guys, we do really need your collaboration!
cheers

The Megavideo application has been taken down and removed from the Android Market.
This is because Megavideo asked us to remove it: we will have to fulfill some more specifications and to grant its quality.
We actually don't know WHICH specifications and WHAT quality, but we have to follow their directives. We are truly sorry for this inconvenience, please mind that this is not up to us.
We will keep you informed about any news or further development that will lead to a re-publishing of the application through our website http://megavideo.megadevs.com.
Thanks for your understanding.

the concept of our application is slightly different. with Megavideo you can actually download videos, that is to say, you can watch them offline.
what is more, if you start download and then press "Play" while you're still downloading, you can stream the video!
hope this explains the whole thing better
Do I understand correctly that you are not the official team behind the Megavideo company itself? I'd like to confirm this.
Nice try, but in my phone it doesn't work...

Yes, you are right. Anyway, we are constantly in direct contact with Megavideo company, in order to get the official endorsement for this application.
Because of that, we are going to provide user support and important updates (as I am writing, a critical update has been released). Please note that this is still a BETA version, but the main functions should work without problems.
We are open to any kind of suggestion and errors feedback. This is very important to help us improving the application!

After the update, it works, but the video is very laggy, and there is almost no audio...tried to overclock from 600 to 800mhz and no change at all...
Oh, and Android keeps giving me the message "megavideo error" without giving more details

This is due to a bad video or to the flv player. Have you tried another player? We suggest RockPlayer and VPlayer. Please check both the video and the player and let us know.

This is an AdWhirl issue, but not all devices are affected. We are currently fixing that, so the application won't crash anymore.
Excelent app.
Just missing search video option. But still great and working fine in Flipout!
Ok, tried with vplayer and it works...thanks a lot!

*bumped*
i have asked the developer and he says something about "triggering the app's security measure or something".
what i did to get that "trial has ended error" is wipe data/factory reset before i flash a new rom. anyone who knows how to fix this (or know workaround), please share it here.
Guys we are working hard to provide solution for this issue. Unfortunately we can not publish paid version of the unlocker yet. Please update the app frequently.
I downloaded n7player from Market and it still doesn't work :|
I've got 2 choices " buy on market" "cancel"
I noticed in the data folder in the phone,the shared preferences.xml I see that there is a paid version flag set as false. n7spock, was that flag always there? Is it simple as resetting the flag to "true"?
Fixed
Unlocker issue has been fixed in last release. Update the app and please give feedback to devs or comment.
yep working here!! Many thanks
thanks a lot! now i'm sure i want to buy this gorgeous music player!
I have a buddy who bought his S8+ in Singapore and his come integrated with a Samsungs Smart Caller Feature.
Based on quick research it seems it is Hiya app integrated in the Dialer. Phones that ha e this feature havd a tab on the Dialer called "Places".
My phone lacks this feature and had no option to turn it on.
Anyone else have any experience with this and maybe found a way to enable this?
To the senior members and developers:
Anyways to add this via an apk or will I have to flash a new ROM? I do not want to lose my Samsung Pay.
I have added Hiya and it works but the lack of integration really irritates me.

In my case i have also no 3rd tab in my dailer
but Hiya works fine.!
I also know that Hiya must support your
country data base etc , to work.
I don't have extra, Hiya app installed as
3rd party app.
See screenshots.
Ahh so I guess the places tab isn't part of it.
I installed Hiya from the Galaxy app store.
It works and there is a database within my country.
I am unsure why it isn't activated on my phone.
All that aside the main point is how can I activate it on my device. There must be a Stock ROM with Hiya Integration that will also keep Samsung pay alive.

if you look at one of my screenshot above
Screenshot is on Phone tab, /3 dot menu,
then you get above settings...
Halfway down ... Caller ID and spam protection?
If not it seems like your.... Rom /carrier
(might) have blocked it, for some reason?
I'm on Verizon, and they sell a caller-id app for a monthly fee, so I don't even need to check to see if the free, built-in Samsung feature has been disabled.
I live in the US and imported a S8+ 955FD, and I have the places tab:

yes ,i agree you do not have relevant option .!!
Only reason i can deduct from that ,is maybe one of these reasons .... ...??
Hiya ,does not officially support your country database ,
which you claim Hiya does ?
I would check with Hiya website /email them ?
Maybe ask them why ?
If you got a carrier branded Rom ,then your carrier choose not to included it in their branded supported Rom .
I would then query them ,why services is not available or included in Rom
If you choose this option ,
make sure you query someone (in carrier service that should know reason )
and not some ignorant person ,just guessing why not .!
Remember /bear in mind,
that flashing another Rom, does not always guarantee , to fix issue . !!!
Good luck
I used this to turn the feature on, but the caller id feature doesn't work. https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/help/built-caller-id-hidden-t3357996

I've got a TMO S8+ and hadn't enabled it yet. Looks like it has to be set up and may be carrier specific.
Oh and Funk, you should try Arepa Mia, my fiancee and I go there all the time. It's amazing.
I'm bumping this to know if anyone found a way to activate this "Places" tab for phones where it didn't come activated by default please ?
smart call integration
I have a question about smart call integration.
Not sure how to activate this but I can tell you for sure it is blocked by the carrier for conflict of interests. Since they do have a paid service for this. This feature has been available since Marshmallow. It started back when I had my s6.

Places activation seems to be determined by CSC (similar to Samsung Pay) . I imported a 955FD and it didn't come with Places activated because it was running the TPA CSC firmware. After I odin flashed a XSA CSC firmware, Places shows up and functions (but everything is in meters).

Thanks alot appreciate it
This tread doesn't seem to be active much, but I am planning to flash my phone to T-Mobile and wanted to ask T-Mobile USA users if they have "Identify Spam Numbers" or similar option. This option should be in phone app, then ..., then settings and there should be a toggle for it.
I remember the AT&T version having it. But I switched to the Exynos version so now I'm missing that feature.

Hi,
I bought a P20 few days ago and it's perfect except for.... it dos not read QR/Bar code in Banks apps... I posted it in some Facebook groups and other people expressed the same problem... pls, someone know what happens?
I have this issue in google pay app. Camera doesnt recognise bar codes when scanning loyality cards.
But no one confirmed me this issue till now. Thanks. This is the next thing arter VLC, Asphalt that doesnt work in huawei phones
And i checked on my friends huawei p20 lite that hers phone recognise barcodes.
What rom do you have?
I'm using the original EMUI 8.1.0 (EML-L29 8.1.0.130(C605).
It's a big inconvenient... once every time that i need to pay something i need to type all the barcode
I heard that Huawei will sell smartphones here in Brazil on the next quarter... here we use a lot this barcode function inside bank's apps... so, i thing that it need to be fixed fast...
Tks for your attention my friend.

This app is for Beta Testers only
The Google Play app allows us to manage our beta programs but have you ever wanted to participate in a limited number beta program?
(The most common examples are WhatsApp, Facebook, Android Auto and LinkedIn, at least for my country, Italy)
Every time you have to go to Google Play and see if you can access the beta program.
A few years ago (even before the Google Play app had a section dedicated to the quick view of our beta programs in which we participate) I had developed an app, for private use, to overcome this problem, and after adding some small personalization and options I would also like to make it available to this community.
The app is now available on Google Play, contains ads and subscription (subscription remove ads and unlock the auto join feature).
People who bought the old "remove ads" in-app purchase is premium user for life now (no need to subscribe to get the new auto join feature, thanks for the support.
At the moment the app is available different languages, but if you want to participate in the translation you can download the xml file at the second post.
Let me know your feedbacks about it.

FAQ and Privacy
FAQ
Q- Why should I use this app instead of Beta Checker or Beta Lister or any other similar app?
A- The first one does not check anything, you have to manually go in Google Play and share the link with the app, which is pretty useless, once you are in Google Play you can directly see if there is a beta and can join or leave from Google Play itself.
The second (which I cannot find the link anymore, probably the dev just removed it from Google Play, at least in my Country) does lists from the installed apps the ones which have a beta version (using the dev cookie, or an alt account) but it is almost useless, because if a beta is available in US does not mean it is available in other countries. And you cannot take action anyways, you need to go in Google Play (app or web) to join the beta. Using the dev cookie means that the app is not aware of your joined betas too.
Q- I don t trust the Google form for sign-in, why don' t you use official Google Sign In API?
A- Google Sign in API generates a token for third party backends to auth the user. The problem is that Google Play does not have API for third party developers to auth users.
Q- Why there is no auto sign-in or Google sign-in?
A- Currently you are not signin-in to Beta Maniac, you are signin-in to Google, and the eventual token you get using those facilities is not spendible in Google Play. What the app does is the same thing you would do manually, no API used.
Q- I don t want to sign in then, what can I do?
A- Simply do not use the app.
Q- Why cannot sign-in even if my connection is good?
A- Check out if you are on a VPN or custom DNS network. If so disable it and login.
Q- Does the app collects any data?
A- The app collects anonymous data (phone model, android version, country) for analytics purpose and crash reports, handled by Google using Firebase.
Q- The app was completely free, why now there are ads and I have to pay to turn them off?
A- Because the most of users complained and rated one star for no real reason. You had it for free, the only thing you had to do was keep the app average rating high enough to be considered a good app, but you didn' t. You had even the chance to donate, only 30-35 people did (and they will not see any ads now).
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82630837&postcount=314
Q- I bought the "remove ads" in-app purchase, do I need to subscribe?
A- Of course not, you are already a life time premium user, thanks for the support.
and as @mbc07 has experienced:
mbc07 said:
For people having issues with ad blockers: it looks like you'll have trouble only when using DNS-based ad blocking. I personally use AdGuard on my device, which by default uses a VPN with a custom DNS to filter the ads. I normally leave the DNS-based filtering disabled since it sometimes breaks some sites and in fact, by using only the VPN-based filtering I didn't experience any login issues on Beta-Maniac, even with AdGuard active...

If not already contributed, here's the french translated strings file.
If I may report that small issue :
Despite using XDA adfree version of your very welcomed app, I noticed it couldn't get past the post log-in screen (got No connection / Try again - with no avail') if device is connected with ad-blocking private DNS on Android 9+) or to a router set with ad-blocking DNS.
No biggy but took quite some time to figure out the reason.
You might want to change that or add a message to let users know their ad-blocker prevents the app from going further.
After initial set up though, it's working fine with or without DNS ad-blocking.
VPN usage was not an issue for me, only DNS level ad-blocking.
(Tested with v1)

I had but since a basic VPN connection didn't harm my attempt on my first device running Oreo, I had assumed it was a broad statement to cover possible issues but it seemed to be mostly related to the ads mechanism in place in your code.
Just wished to help by clarifying.
(IMO however, having to turn a VPN or a custom DNS setting off, even temporarily, should not be forced on any user for doing so given the privacy implications some might want to maintain)

Oh, that. Well, sorry anyways : I used Solid Explorer to do that while commuting before even testing your app prior to doing so.
(Also, I don't know what that correct way of using them is in XML, is this its ASCII character that should be used ?)
I checked quickly without deleting app's data so don't know about initial setup text.
But there's a typo :
"Bêtas fermée uniquement" should be "Bêtas fermées uniquement"
There's also a setting title I imprecisely translated :
"Liste des filtres" should be "Filtrer la liste" to actually be meaningful.
Spotted the "system" choice related to the theme settings in the strings but can't yet see it in the app.
Finally, I spoke too soon as for the VPN/DNS issue :
It indeed prevents from entering any app's beta program page setting in the app but Scans can and will be performed normally.
I do reiterate my previous statement regarding having to disable either or both in order for your app to work. It's a radical setup change impacting all apps for just one to work normally..

fixed the strings. Anyway no, it s not an ascii problem, it s just the android requirement to put slashes before apostrophe. I use a normal network, so I didn t figured out this problem before today, I know that only by feedbacks. I ll upload the app with translation fixed
