[Q] Sky Go on ICS? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Basically,
Sky Go came out today and it says that the Galaxy is is supported. But, when I try to load it up, it says your device is not supported and I take it that it's saying that because I've got AOKP ICS on there.
Would anyone know a way of fixing this?
Thankssss

Send them an email mentioning this

Where is it? I think it's only supported on gingerbread

The resolution is fine after a minute or so.
Current problem appears to be that no other channel other than Sky news works, possibly because it is non encrypted.
Possible issue caused by rooted phones not being supported but that is a little unclear as people with unrooted phones are also experiencing the same issues, ie, the app is sticking at the buffering screen and shows no pictures.
Apart from that, its fantastic

I see there is a discussion going on here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22781731
They talk about apps that temporarily revoke root access to the phone to trick the Sky Go app into thinking you have a stock ROM. Sounds like too much effort for one app tbh, but I thought I'd share in case you hadn't seen it!

Here is a page that has the link to the .Apk.

Im sure that the UI isn't optimized for the large screen.
Having any luck skull?
OK, ui was stuck in portrait, so not optimized for honeycomb. When it went to start streaming it switched to landscape.
Was able to sign in and see queue etc. Tried to stream and got an error after a few seconds saying it cannot connect to netflix servers. This is consistent with what others are experiencing.

Don't know that devs will touch it. My thread in the nexus one forum was shut down for beginning a discussion to get this going. Devs are probably worried about lawsuits or cease and desisted. Remember what happened to Cyanogen back in the day.

Can Google make it so when my apps are updating, it only does it one at a time? The phone becomes practically unusable when 10 apps are trying to download at the same time. Super annoying.

just don't use your phone for a minute while they update
Maybe there's a possibility, like the netflix mod, to bypass the root check by someone that has the knowledge to do that sort of thing
If I install this, can I receive another Market update in the future? Or I should again install via APK?

I manually updated this, works fine. I do have a problem though, maybe it's me ;o)
How do you manually update an App after installing this latest Market app.
Example:
I've installed the new market place and notice that the Amazon UK app had an update this morning. I have set this app to manual update, but when I open the app through the new market, the only 2 buttons are 'open' and 'uninstall', there's no update button.
Confused? I am... any ideas guys?

I just downloaded that and it seems to work well. One of the default settings disables it in landscape mode, which might be the problem you guys are having. Either deselect that option or try it in portrait mode to see if that works.
I'd still like to find something closer to what is described in the OP. It would be kind of useful to have it just turn on and off when I open and close my case.

I think you might be talking about Killswitch. It was developed by an xda dev. I tried to use it with my 7 inch tab, but had fcs. However he was very helpful. I haven't tried it with the Xoom, but I think I'll look it up.

Facebook is horrible on JB/N7...missing features?

Good afternoon XDA!
Having received my N7 yesterday, I didn't get to play with it too much until later on at night. One of the first things I noticed was that the Facebook app on the device is missing many of the main features. I'm not sure if it's a JellyBean issue (as my Galaxy Nexus is CDMA and I haven't modded it to JB yet) or a N7 issue, but there's no way to see someone's Pictures, Info, or Favorites. What I mean is that if you go to someone's profile the only thing visible is their Wall. There's no way to go into the other sections of someone's profile. The only way to see their pictures is if they post them on their walls.
Anyone else notice this? For those that have, if you also have JellyBean on another device does it do it there, as well? I just have no way of knowing if this is a JB issue or a device-specific issue. I can't seem to find any other complaints, which I'm a bit confused by...I understand that this device is extremely new, but a *vast* majority of Android users also spend quite a bit of time on Facebook, so I'd be surprised if nobody had run into this issue before me (or at least made comments on it).
Post thoughts and maybe we can narrow it down!
I'm seeing the same issue. I've heard good things about Friendcaster as a superior replacement so I'd try that.
Friendcaster is a good alternative and in many ways superior to the Facebook app - you can have multiple log ins/accounts and much more responsive than facebook

I have both the Galaxy Nexus on JB and the N7, I can definitely confirm that the FB app is lacking on the N7 especially when going into peoples profiles. However on the Galaxy Nexus it has every single feature that it had on GB and ICS. No idea what the deal is with the N7 version of the app.
Facebook app isn't set up for tablets on JB as far as I'm aware. Give them a bit to update the app and we will see.
No your wrong, its not the fact its a tablet on jelly bean, its the fact its a tablet.

Friendcaster is light years ahead of FB app. Try it for free then get the ad free version. You'll thank me.

Just my 2 cents, but FB apps in general on all devices are poorly optimized. One of the few things i'd rather view with a browser.
FB for Phone on Tablet
Is there a way to install the FB app that runs on smartphones on the N7?

That's what you have installed. The app adjusts itself based on being on a tablet or phone.

Is there any difference between the Pro version and the Free, other than ads? $5 is not worth it for me for ads...
The Facebook app is terribad on every platform, and every form factor. Just don't bother using it.

AW: Has Anyone figured out how to use camera remote
You need Android 4.1.2 on GCam and Remote Viewfinder for GC out of the Play Store
Within your camera menu under share you have to enable remote viewfinder and then connect your android device to the cam via wlan and start the remote viewfinder.
And next time, please use the search function of the board.

Thank you for talking to me like a child re searching which I did however can I suggest you start to learn to reads people's threads properly before dishing out criticism
I am as stated not reffering to samsungs own app I know that inside out and have advised in various thread users on how to make it work
I am in fact referring to camera remote by busy www
I can not find the thread where it was mentioned despite searching from the mobile app but i do remember it only mentioned the app not how to use it hence my new thread
I don't think its compatible with the gc as it doesnt even connect on the website system

As I mentioned in the other thread (I created yesterday), the unreleased beta of the app works much better with the GC.
He is adding video features to it right now and then will re-release it to the store I guess.
You install the same app on both devices and select camera or remote mode on the two devices. (or you use a web browser to control the camera device).
The thread was just a heads up that it has been fixed and will be re-released soon. It works quite well for me.
The author has not given me permission to post the beta here. Maybe send him an email and ask for the beta?
He was very friendly and helpful.
