[APP] Hulu Plus - WORKING!

Follow these steps to get Hulu Plus working:
1. Delete any copy of Hulu Plus from your phone.
2. Download the file from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19377222&postcount=7
3. Extract the 3 files into your TitaniumBackup folder.
4. Restore Hulu Plus from Titanium Backup using App+Data.
Thank derek4484 for providing the files since Rootzwiki did not host it anymore and thank him in his post too.
Note: In order to use Hulu Plus, disable ad blocking using AdFree or any other similar app.

This would complete the Captivate

any updates? Anyone found a workaround to get hulu plus app to work on the captivate?
Sheb

This needs to be done already

If you are rooted just find a titanium back up of the app ( it is somewhere in this forum) and back it up. Worked for me and I do believe it is the only work around. The hulu app checks for compatibility in a different manner then Netflix did. Netflix was easy to fool

Do you mind attaching the TiBu backup for the Hulu Plus app since it doesn't seem to be available on Rootzwiki anymore.

I found the Hulu Plus backup and restored it with titanium backup, but it still didnt work. As soon as I started Hulu plus a big red/white error window popped up and said device not supported.
Edit: OK I only restored App from Titanium Backup. Once I restored App+Data it works great.
Just extract the three files within this to your titanium backup folder on the SD card, go into titanium backup and restore app+data. Should work.

Nice!!! I just tried this out and it works great. I havent found any bugs yet but will update if I do. Finally Hulu Plus for Captivate!
Edit: Ok I have a bad wireless and 3g connection at my house but after the advertisement loads I can't get the video to play even when adjusted to low quality. It says your network appears to have problems. Let me know if its working for you and I'll try again on my campus wireless tomorrow and when I have better 3g service.

Hulu +
Worked!!! Awesome! Tx.:d

Can either of you all confirm that you are able to stream video? I still can't get past the advertisement screen.

This is probably because you are blocking ads via your /etc/hosts file. If you are using any non-stock ROM this is probably true. This interferes with Hulu's ads and prevents it from continuing. If you download and install the "AdFree" from the market then use it to revert to the non-blocking hosts file, then Hulu should work. When you are done watching, you can run AdFree again to reblock ads (if you want).

I've been using ad free and trying to revert my host file but I still can't get past the ad screen. Any way I can do this manually or other possible solutions?
Sent from my Samsung Captivate running Andromeda³

Well, you can look at the file /etc/hosts, if it has been successfully reverted then it should just be one line:
127.0.0.1 localhost
You can probably do this manually if you use root explorer (or equivalent) to make the file writable.
This works for me great with WiFi, but hit and miss on 3G, depending on signal strength.

I checked the host file and it has been reverted. Still running into problems though. I get to the screen of Ad: Your video will resume soon but under loading circle and buffering it says: It appears you are having network issues. Please wait, or try again later.
Im going to mess around with clearing data on things today and see what happens.

Works great. Now does anyone know how to get around the 8 bucks a month you gotta pay to use it

Please can someone help me with this issue?! My sister have a Samsung Vibrant and after one whole night, I finally rooted her phone with Superoneclick just to help her install Hulu Plus on it. I got the app working but like so many others, I am stuck on the buffering screen!
I've tried the AdFree method of reverting my host file, rebooted, but still no go. I've tried uninstalling AdFree, rebooting. No go. I've tried booting into recovery mode to clear cache but no go. I've installed ES File Explorer to manually view my Host file and it is empty except for the 127.0.0.1 line. I am literally pulling my hair out.
Is there any other way to unblock ads on the phone to get Hulu Plus working? Is there like some sort of secret cache that I'm suppose to clear using a secret utility I don't know of? Please I need help!

I was never able to get it working on my phone either. I'm convinced it won't work on froyo based roms. I get the same issue with it never being able to get past the buffering screen even with a clean host file. If you are ever able to get it to work on a 2.2 ROM let me know.
Sent from my Samsung Captivate running Andromeda³

Thanks for the quick reply. Sucks for you to hear this but at least I'm glad I'm not the only one with the problem. I'm regretting ever telling my sister to get an Android phone. This is so ridiculous, although I understand this is not exactly the operating system's fault.
I'm about to give up on getting this thing to work on her phone. It's madness.

I installed as per the instructions on this thread. It buffered for a bit and started playing. Pretty Cool! On 2month trial from Sony SMP

[REQUEST] Sirius XM 1.6 APK

Does anyone have, or have access to, the new apk (v. 1.6) of the Sirius XM app? I would love to try it on my Xoom and see if it works. This is the only thing missing from my perfect tablet.

This was the first thing I thought of when I saw the update was released. Sadly I still can't make it work, it gets stuck at the "checking for updates" notification and then times out back to the login screen.
I've tried clearing the app data and reinstalling the app with no results. If you or anyone else figures this out please share.

Try inserting the app into data/data with matching permissions.
May work that way. Maybe.

It's working for well for me, doesn't look perfect, but the station quality is great.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App

^ what method did you use to install?

once again it only works on 3g xooms... sigh

I suspected something like that when I saw the permissions requirements on install. It requires (Phone calls: read phone state and identity) and (Serices that cost you money: directly call phone numbers), which seems kind of odd to me unless they're using your phone number to track/identify you to the service, or determine your location / country (license or channel listing data maybe?) to build the initial app database.
So this means it's probably getting stuck trying to access the device modem and because there isn't one it just times out.
I'm curious to see if someone who also has the app on their phone and copied the /data/data/com.sirius folder over to the xoom after installing the .apk normally would have any better luck. My phone is rooted but my xoom is not so I can't try it.

Tethering on Tmobile

How are you guys doing it?

Root the phone. Download sqlite. Look for a file called settings storage. The correct one has a symbol looks like tools. Select the sub file. Go down and edit the line that says entitlement check. Change the value from 1 to disabled. Save and reboot. Enjoy making a wifi hotspot.

any sqlite app will work. its like the file manager apps that allow you to see the root files and the ones that normal file managers won't let you see. any one will work.

which sqlite to download
thanks for getting back with me. and honestly this is fast. i appreciate it. i must admit that i finally found the file but it was in a excel type of format and i couldn't change anything. im going to try another one and see if the paid ones make a difference.

Rooted & Change entitlement no internet
Help please!? I have rooted my Atrix HD, changed the entitlement to disabled thru sqlite and I can now mobile hotspot which was not working before....but....I can connect devices to the phone but each one states "limited or no internet" yet the phone has full 4g internet (cuz I can surf with it while mobile hotspot is on) but NONE of the devices can surf. I have changed the ssid and the passwords and have tried the open protocol as well as the wpa-psk options and still no surf on any device....
Please help...been trying to mobile hotspot with this phone every since I upgraded from the Atrix 4G which I loved.
Thanks

Most ROMs have tethering built-in, so you could go that route.

WiFi tethering?

Does it work out of the box for grandfathered unlimited plans? Hoping it might since this is supposedly vanilla android...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747

Tethering and hotspot options are both available on my phone with the standard 3GB data cap, so I would assume that its available on the unlimited plan as well.

Thanks. Do you have a family share plan or an individual plan? The family share plans apparently include tethering.

It is an individual plan which doesn't include tethering, but the feature is still available.

Didn't work for me I haven't unlocked on HTC dev yet but I don't imagine that will change anything.
Are you on LTE?

Hmm, I just now tried it, and I get the same message. Guess we'll need to wait for a third-party ROM like CM10 before this is an option...

Have any of you tried FoxFi? Its in the Play store, and it's free. There is also PDAnet as well.

Anybody that is rooted get WiFi tethering to work yet? Barnacle or WiFi tether for root users or something like that?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337

I'm also having the same problem with wifi hotspot (tethering). Unlocked my phone (originally locked with AT&T) and anytime I click to enable Portable wifi hotspot I get "There is a temporary problem that prevents the enablement of the Mobile Hotspot function. Please retry later."
I've also tried installing FoxFi to see if I could tether that way - no luck. I get the same error message as above.
Any one have any solutions?

Solved! Alright, so I rooted the phone using the HTC First All In One found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2242639
Once the phone was rooted, I downloaded an app on Google Play called "WiFi Tether" (do not download FoxFi, it doesn't work). The "WiFi Tether" app works ONLY for rooted phones.
Now I can finally tether!

What settings did you use with Wifi Tether for root users? I'm having trouble getting it to work with my rooted HTC First.

I opened up Wifi Tether, went to "Settings", then changed my Device-Profile to "Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)". Hope it helps!

That's not working for me maybe because I only used moonshine?
I scoured the interwebs and found these solutions...
These ways will work for people who can't still can't get their hotspot working:
Stock roms seem to whitelist the apns that can use their tether, so either
1. Insert entitled {yourCarrierAPN} into /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db with sqlite editor:
Old Instructions:
1. Use a rooted filemanager (e.g. ES File Explorer) to backup the Telephony Database (/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db) to a safe place (e.g. /sdcard/).
2. Download SQLite Installer for Root from the Market and open the app and install SQLite3
3. Open an adb shell
4. Type the following command in to open the telephony database:
su -c sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
5. This should have opened sqlite3. If it did then type the following command in to update the database:
INSERT INTO carriers (name, numeric, mcc, mnc, apn, authtype, type, insert_by, state, protocol, roaming_protocol, carrier_enabled, bearer) VALUES ("Entitlement","302720","302","720","ltemobile.apn ","-1","entitle","internal","hidden","IP","IP","1","0" );
6. To confirm that this has been applied you can type the following:
select * from carriers;
This should list all the carriers you have in your telephony.db and the one you just added should be at the bottom.
7. Type the following to quit sqlite3
.exit
8. Type the following to reboot your phone
reboot

Summary:
a. Find /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db and it's 'carrier' table
b. Edit telephony.db with sqlite editor and add a row that is the same as the hidden AT&T Entitlement APNS, but change the numeric, mcc, mnc, apn type to match your current cellphone's APN in the database
c. Save, reboot, and viola! default tethering activated
or
2. Hack and disable apn check in framework-res.apk

WiFi persistent problem

I'm on the Verizon "eclipse ROM" on my ATT note 3. I never had WiFi problems except for when first flashing and having to reenter my WiFi password every time I restarted. There was an easy fix for that. Recently I noticed my WiFi messing up and acting irregular. For the most part it works fine. Here's a pic
