Hulu App problems - Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys
My issue seems to be different from the others I read.
I'm in Canada so I don't get the option to install Hulu Natively. When I download it and install it from the APK repository, it goes crazy. I either flips endlessly between Portrait and landscape until it crashes or I can't click on any of the buttons in the app to log in.
I've tried different versions of the app and different input methods but nothing seems to help.
Any advice?
thanks

Try another source of getting the apk. If that doesn't work, it may have connection issues.

Thanks for the thought I've tried a few sources no luck. Connection is fine too.

Sorry, I wasn't being specific enoug about the connection. Hulu is not avaliable in Canada. You'll need a proxy or VPN to access this data, which is why the connection isn't working, hence why the app is freaking out. It shouldn't need to check if you are outside of the US because as far as it's concerned, you can't install it to devices outside of the US, so it just plain fails hard. The rotation you are seeing is the app crashing, and attempting a recovery, but the connection fails every time, so it's stuck in a crash loop.

Most probably you are trying to install the Hulu app for Android phones/tablets to your Shield Android TV. You should be sideloading the Hulu Plus for Android TV app. Go ahead and download it from http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/hulu/

Wouldn't you still need an app like hola VPN so you could get a US IP? You should be able to side load it.

Anyone else get "Invalid Request" after trying to sign in? It looks like a site error rather than a browser one. I get the same message from multiple browsers.

i got that from the main page, but then i clicked on an app to dl and it sent me to an actual login page. i didn't login cause i didn't actually want to dl the app, i was just checking, so it might work that way.
This is nice!
good find had no trouble signing in.
Very exciting!!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Tried again. Working now. Might have been the traffic / popularity of the site.
Not sure if you guys watched the honeycomb announcement, but it was amazing. Made me want a tablet, and donkey punch an ipad user.
Forgive my ignorance, but what is exciting about web access to the market? Is it supposed to be better than our regular market app?
The Hotness! Logged in. See all of my apps. Can download apps from the website will sync immediately into your phone!
Way to step up android!!
You can browse on your computer, then install the apps OTA, so to speak. Easier to link to apps you like, install them without taking the phone out of your pocket, for example, that kind of stuff. It's just more convenient in some situations.
Well, I just thought of something.... does it work with custom ROM's? I just downloaded something on the net, and it hasn't really downloaded on Bionix V. Maybe I should go on over to the Bionix V thread and ask.
Unfortunately, it is so pointless right now because it can't function correctly over wifi only* connection. It just lists it in my market place under "My Downloads" and not actually installing the application.
I am using wifi only, because 3g is cut off in my office building.
*NOT on wifi but WIFI ONLY

Awesome! I just browsed Gun Bros on the market, watched the Youtube video on it, and installed it without ever taking my phone out of my pocket.

Hmm... I just got back to my pc and tried to install. I am on Flagship and it didnt give me a notification, and its not showing under My Apps.... maybe the developers need to modify the build.prop?

Well I'm pretty sure all developers keep the fingerprint as the old eclair build for proper regular market access. Obviously I have no idea if this website would react differently. Who's to say it's not just as problematic on stock builds though? It is a brand new site after all.
Edit: Well I tried it out for the fun of it. It shows the download trying to take place on my phone, but the progress bar does nothing. Then again, I get this fairly often with the regular market too.

Do any of the tethering apps work yet?

I'm picking up my phone tomorrow. I was wondering if any of the tethering apps work with or without root on this phone yet. I know the more popular one requires a kernel with netiptables enabled. I'm not sure if the default kernel supports this or not.

I'm sure PDAnet works or you can just change the APN settings to use native hotspots without getting charged.
"native hotspots".... as in.... anywhere a 3G connection is available?

Like the built in tethering option and yeah pretty much anywhere you can get a data connection.
I got the Barnacle Wifi tether working without much challenge thanks to the Devs in the other threads. Could not install it from the AppBrain market but was able to follow the links to download the APK and install it from the internal sd card. Tried to get the widget to donate too,but could not do so from the market place.

Me either, this is my first Android phone. I did a search for wifi hotspot in the AppBrain market and it came up. My limited test with it was good. Used the APN setup from other threads and rooted the phone, also described elsewhere. Then downloaded the APK and installed it. A fairly straight forward process.
Problem with PDANet is the huge cost when I'd only really use the feature when traveling. How is barnacle wifi? Does it support encryption?
I am using a basic WEP key, not sure what you want out of the encryption. Better to check developers web site, I know there are some challenges but it is a little out of my league without spending a long time reading about it.
Well WEP/WPA/WPA2 type of encryption so someone doesn't steal my limited data. Does it support WPA/2 by the way? WEP is pretty easily cracked these days, but it is better than nothing at all.

Citrix Receiver - Xoom

Anyone know why the Citrix receiver force closes after entering the cloud information?
Was really hoping that I could use this for work when I'm out of the office.
It actually looks optimized for tablets...
Nope... really bumming me out
Same problem here... hopefully they fix this soon!
For me doesn't force close but after logging in the application icons are just unresponsive.
Out of curiousity are you using an AGEE? Token auth? I'm gathering details to send to the product managers.
not exactly sure to be honest... I'll give you as much as I can though...
I'm entering...
Username
Password
Domain
Description (although this doesn't matter)
I'm checking "use Citrix Access Gateway"
Gateway Type: Standard Edition
Gateway Authentication: Domain Only
--------
After I enter in the right info (i know this because it works on android phones fine)... it auto logs into the cloud and then FCs when I open the app.
If you need an error report... I can try to get one, otherwise let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks man.
I too am interested to see how well (if at all) this works...keep us posted...

I really hope this works. If you load the app you can tell instantly it loads differently than the phone version... which is sort of odd.
The other day at work a guy got the atrix and the dock... but the thing is loading anything through the phone on the laptop dock is sort of meh because it just expands it as much as it can while keeping it in the right aspect ratios.
So it stretches it out and that's about it, while running it on the phone. There is a minimal few that run on the dock fully.
So that's why I was hoping the Citrix app would run well on the Xoom. I/We can hope!
Well I tested it on my EVO, and it works perfectly. On the Xoom, it connects to my app store but the published apps themselves won't open. I can see the app list, but tapping on them does nothing. A bit odd, and no FC's.
I tried to connect using Enterprise and RSA. I got the force close after I entered my rsa and tried to connect. It thought about it for a minute and then FC. I got the same thing using the Labs Receiver.
Same issues on my end. I put in the information for our external web interface, set to Enterprise and correct auth and immediately after hitting OK I got FCs. I tried both the Citrix Receiver and Lab version, same on both.

Same here, loads fine, can see my apps, but nothing launches. Works fine on my coworkers I pad, which he pointed out often and repeatedly.
I've spoken with support and opened an SR. They acknowledge it is broken and do not have an ETA for a fix

Well, if Citrix support is anything like most other front-line support rep's, the person you spoke with may simply not be in the loop with software releases.
Honeycomb is begging for an update to the Citrix Receiver, it would really entice a lot of other admins like me to adopt these into the enterprise. How many of us would love to be able to whip out our tablet and remotely reboot a server?

I'm gain for an update. I to am able to see apps and add them to the home page but will not open. Can't help but wonder if there is a token that needs to be imported, hummmm I guess I need to ask my admin.
Citrix update!
Notes: Support for Android 3.0 Honeycomb.
YAY!
Yep, tested and it works well.

Awesome news! Tested, working as it should!
anyone having issues with installing a trusted source certificate? like register.com. My xoom errors out saying that the certificate is not a part of the trusted store.
THRILLED to see the CR updated for 3.0! Works just as well as the previous version for 2.2. This app alone (for me) makes the Xoom well worth it's purchase price and monthly dues.
It always worked on my EVO, but a tablet screen is oh so sweeeet.

[Q] Netflix on Acer Iconia Tab A500

Hello all, I am new here so I'm sorry if I am ignorent of anything
I have an Iconia tab, and have been patiently for the netflix app to be released. Well it finally seems like it has been done here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076150
My problem is when I download the apk and try to open it I get the error ''cannot open file''.
Any suggestions? Thanks
Download the apk with Firefox mobile or your desktop PC instead of the default browser. AFAIK, streaming still doesn't work for us, just queue management.
Its not working on the acer yet.
Edit: ninja'd
I think I read somewhere it's a Honeycomb issue, not just an Acer issue.
the device check disabled apk asks you to upgrade to the latest version on the market (which doesn't exist on our device), and the non-check disabled version will let you browse, but if you try to play a video it pops an error saying the device is not supported.
Hopefully we'll get something that works in the near future. Netflix claims to be working on other devices and it looked like tablets were on the list as well.
Thanks everyone for your answers. Any chance we can keep this thread going as an update to everyone wondering when netflix will be brought over so users do not have to scour the web in search of the answer?
Just a bit of a noob question, but what about changing your build.prop?
If I understand correctly, that requires root, and I do not want do downgrade to gingerbread.
Yup..

I have heard of doing this and am pretty sure root is required.
Such a shame Netflix has not gotten it together for us yet - this screen rocks as a movie player!

I have my acer rooted, but not well enough it seems. I still run honeycomb, and in fact still get firmware updates from acer. I rooted it so I can setup my two 1tb external hard drives to it lol. just used gingerbreak and a couple other things post root. However, i did try and edit the build.prop but wont allow me to save, just read only. I havent messed with it extensively, but seems like there should be a way.

If you use root explorer it will let you mount the file system read-write so you can edit the file.
Alright guys I am not sure if it has been tested but when I get home. I have the lib files that fixed the playback issue on sense 3.0 I will install the deactive device check version and push the lib Files It may actually work!! I just tested on another device that had playback issues worked flawlessly!! Ill let you guys know in like 2 hours or so when I get home.
Right on!
Crsdr37 - sounds promising! Let us know how it goes - since Netflix is totally dragging on getting their software working. My girlfriend's mother uses a HTC Evo 4 from Sprint - netflix support has been broken for weeks for them, and the OTA patch they tried to push out did not work. Total fustercluck

Alright guys so after dismantling netflix.apk the latest version the issue is within one of the files called nrdp.js Think of it as the gate keeper to our netflix enjoyment. It checks certain areas of the device here is the list we need to bypass to get the rsa key injected into our devices for access to the netflix servers.
1.Get Model
2.Get Software Version
3.Get Certification Version
4.Get ESN
5.Get ESN Prefix
Those are all the functions it calls for device checking. That I could find. There is also a certificate file ca.pem that controls how long the app works for before you have to get new certificate that is encrypted up the ass so big roadblock..... Sorry I tried and will continue to try but it does not look good... Damn those large companies with their big sticks.

I am not connect to vpn. I have another phone LG Optimus pro and that loads the same webpage with no problem. Both on the same network. The website is very basic website.
Hmm. I'm not sure what the issue could be then. By any chance are you using a custom ROM? I know that a few have modified hosts files.
