Android :: Droid X - Podcast Subscription And Sync

Jul 22, 2010

I've done lots of searching, and I've found partial solutions, but not exactly what I'm looking for. Not sure it even exists, but I'm going to ask! Got a new Droid X last week and love it. Coming from iPhone with iTunes. I listen to podcasts for several hours most nights at work using Bluetooth headphones. My iPhone worked great for this because I would plug it in each day and it would automatically sync the newest podcasts from the list I selected. I'd like to continue using iTunes because it is very nice for auto updating and I have dozens of podcasts subscribed to already. But here's what I need to do:

1) I need a way to sync the newest 3-5 podcasts from Select podcast subscriptions. I've found an Android solution or two that will sync podcasts, but they appear to either sync All podcasts, or unplayed podcasts from All subscriptions. What I want to is what the iPhone can do: sync the most recent 3-5 podcasts from only the ones I select. I would have to delete Dozens of subscriptions to be able to sync them to my Droid if I use the current tools I discovered.

2) I need a way to play the podcasts on the Droid, knowing which ones are unplayed. I've found solutions that will allow me to play the podcasts, but I can't seem to tell which ones I've listened to. On the iPhone, there's a dot that tells you if its unplayed or not. On the Android, there's just a big list of podcasts and there's no way to tell if I listened to it or not (from what I've found).

3) This one is not a requirement, but it would be nice if I could do this wirelessly because I've had a bit of trouble consistently mounting the Droid X to my iMac. I tried TuneSync, which does wireless iTunes syncing, but again, I can't choose individual podcasts to sync, it appears to be all or nothing.

I'm not hopeful that there's a solution for this, so I'm prepared to continue using my deactivated iPhone for listening to podcasts if I have to. It'll just be a pain having to carry both the Droid X and my iPhone with me at work.

Android :: Subscription For Hulu

Jun 29, 2010

So much for even PAYING a subscription for Hulu. Once again another company goes catering to the #(*$ Iphone fanboys. Sorry, just with the release of Flash for the Droid I figured we would at LEAST get "something" from them rather than a snub.

Android :: Need Market Subscription Payment Model?

Aug 19, 2010

I would like to have two apps. One to do the real job and another one to carry the payment on a monthly basis (licensing app). Users must download the licensing app each month from Market. But, should they have to uninstall the last month's app before that. Can an app auto destroy itself (uninstall itself)?

Android :: Wave Secure Payment For Subscription Before Updation?

Aug 2, 2010

The title was quite blunt - but I'm writing this to warn others about paying for this product. I'm sure it is an excellent product - if you can get it to work. I made the mistake of paying for a subscription before I tried it. I have never been able to get it working.
I've been in contact with their support department who (very occasionally) reply to my email messages. I have done as they asked, run debug versions and supplied them with log files. They tell me that the problem is at their server end and they are trying to fix it. Since then (weeks ago) I've heard nothing despite repeat attempts to ask them for an update (and my money back). This morning, my phone told me that an update was available. I eagerly downloaded it in case this fixed the problem - it didn't. Just in case anyone from Wave Secure is reading this, please check support tickets IYR-245894 and BQO-385045 and you'll see how lousy you are at supporting a paying customer. So, although this product may be good, please don't buy it unless you are sure it works first. Also, if you have any problems, please don't hold your breath waiting for support from them as it probably won't happen.

Android :: Subscription Play Music Anytime Applications?

Jan 5, 2010

I currently have a Napster To-Go subscription that I use with my Creative Zen, and on my PC at work. But now that I have the Droid, I would much rather stream music to the phone. I currently use Pandora (One) and I like it but I would really like to listen to full albums and make my own playlists; basically listen to whatever I want. I heard that Napster had an App but decided to not to release it, and I will be canceling my subscription as soon as an alternative is found that I can use on the Droid (I never really liked the Napster app anyway). Are there any Subscription Play-anything/Anytime apps?

The following I have looked at:
Napster - No App Release Planned
Rhapsody - Supposed to launch in 2009, Delayed?
Spotify - Supposed to launch in 2010 in US.
Have I missed any alternatives?

Android :: Approaches To Writing Subscription Based Applications?

Mar 25, 2010

I have a Web Service and an Android application that uses this web service. I want to make this application subscription based. The user would subscribe to the service and would be able to use it till their subscription is valid. I understand that to create such an application, we would have to integrate necessary checks in the service and validate a subscription every time it is used on the backend.

But is it possible to do all(well, at least most of) this, on the handset itself? Is it possible to achieve the following in an Android application? Make the application work only for a limited period of time(till the subscription is valid). If yes, how? How to maintain data about the subscription and where?

Motorola Droid :: Video Podcast - Saving Favorites

Dec 20, 2009

I am looking for a very good app on android mark that will allow me to view video podcast such as phonedog and Geekbrief, gadget pron and a few others that I religiously watched from my ipod touch on a nightly basis. Of course the touch had itunes which was great, the only thing it lacked was being able to save your favorites without downloading them. I know they have a few things out there on android market that seem to do this, looking for the easiest and the best.

HTC EVO 4G :: MLB Subscription - Software Limiting Speeds - Slingplayer Application

Jun 6, 2010

I am hoping some android geniuses might be able to help me out here. 1) How can I watch my MLB.tv subscription on this phone? I was very excited when I saw that android marketplace now had MLB at bat in its marketplace, but hugely disappointed when I found it does not support live games (like that other phone does). When I looked on Mlb.com for an answer it says Android does not support some sort of optimization technique that the other phone does. Its hard for me to believe with the hardware backing this phone that it is not possible. The workaround I used to use on my touchpro 2 was to use the skyfire browser to login and watch it. However when I download skyfire for android and try to watch the game it tells me I need to download flash. Is there a setting I might be missing? 2) Whats up with 4g speed? I know this probably isn't great to be bringing up about the company I work for but I have not seen myself or read of anyone's speedtest on the evo exceeding the 3MB/sec barrier. The speeds I consistently see are outstanding by 3g expectations but not near what I expected of 4g especially since I have seen our Mobile Broadband products consistently exceed those barriers. Is there something with device or software limiting these speeds?........................

Android :: Podcast Application That Allow Authentication?

Oct 20, 2010

Are there any podcast players that allow authentication? I have the streamlink account for coast to coast am and they dont yet have an android app. I can download the MP# files of the shows every night but would much rather be able to just stream with podcast. I have a link to the RSS feed for said podcast but it requires a UN/PW. Can anyone suggest an app that will handle this? They also provide Real Player links and Windows media player links so if anyone knows how to make these work with the droid that would work as well.

Android :: How To Access Podcast Metadata

Oct 10, 2010

I'm trying to get access to the metadata about podcasts, such as the show notes/description, the show title and the icon image. I'm at least partially using ContentResolver to query for most of the AudioColumns information, but for some reason ALBUM_ART is missing, there seems to be no column for the description, and in general, it's not clear what the mapping is. Since podcasts are not songs, they don't generally have "composers", "artists" and "albums" they have show titles, episode titles, hosts, etc. Is there any information out there on what standards are generally used for podcast metadata and how I can efficiently access it?

Android :: Best Podcatcher Client (Podcast) Application?

Dec 30, 2009

I've been using Google Listen since october (started on htc hero, now on moto droid), what it lacked in features I figured updates would soon bring but what I've received is frustration after frustration.

*I need a podcasting app that will be able to automatically download new episodes (when plugged in and/or only on WiFi)
*Automatically add the latest download episodes and add to some sort of a queue/playlist and automatically remove them once listened in full.
*Have a UI that works well from a couple feet away, I dock my phone in the car and use daily on my commute, so I need to be able to reach over and tap pause/play/next/ffw/etc.

*And the Big One - When updating podcasts, actually pings the RSS feed direct (unlike Google Listen) instead of a single server. I can't stand being 12-24 hours behind on most of my podcast feeds, especially when I want to listen to a daily podcast that comes out in the morning at 4:30pm on my way home from work and can't without browsing to their website.

I'm willing to pay, really don't want to pay the $7 I see some clients go for but will pay up to $7 if it works well enough.. I do not need a full on RSS news reader, I'd prefer a dedicated podcatching client.

Android :: Any Application To Speed Up Playing Podcast?

Got used to listening to my podcasts on my iPod touch in 2X speed. Would like to use my Incredible the same way. Anybody know of a way to speed up the playback? I looked in settings, and didn't find anything, so suspect will need an app or something. On second note, is there a way to access the Market from a computer? Searching via the phone is pretty hard to do.

Android :: Headset Button - Podcast/music

May 22, 2010

Moved from an iPhone 3G. It an do more but it sure take hacking. I have a few problems but I'll start with the main one. I am absolutely annoyed by the (wired) headset button behavior. On the iPhone I used the button for three things. Phone operation (pick up when rings, hang up to end call). Stop and start (and skip to next/previous) for music and for podcasts. I absolutely cannot replicate this functionality on the N1. I tried close to a dozen podcatchers. Most worked just fine but I either had to tell then to take over the button in which case it did not work in the music player or I had to disable it in which case it worked for the music player but not the podcast app. Behavior for incoming phone calls were pretty random depending on which app I used. Some overrode the podcast and rang into the headset and allowed me to pick up with the button, some didn't and I had to scramble to get to the phone. And it is absolutely annoying to press the button expecting to pause whatever I am listening to and to get a second thing playing on top of it. Not cool. I had no intentions of developing a new hobby: unexpectedly listening to music, a podcast while trying to order food at the counter. I am waiting for the moment I'll get to try all these things while trying to pick up the phone. (I think you get the picture).

After doing some reading I am not optimistic that I'll fix this. It sounds like applications have to hijack the headset button from each other. This explains the total randomness of actions. It never is assigned to the last thing I was listening to (with priority to phone controls when needed). That would make sense.

Thinking of possible solutions (short of anything destructive to the phone), I developed a few that theoretically could work.

1, I heard of apps in which I can regain some control over what the button does. Sounds like a pain in the ass especially since I do not want to think about these things but I have not tried these yet.

2, Getting a podcatcher that downloads podcasts in the background and allows the media player to see them. This way I would never have to run the podcatcher and could do everything from the media player. So far I only messed with the defalt audio player app on the N1. When I tell the podcatcher(s) to allow the music player to see the podcasts, it usually shows up as chaos. My music directory is chaotic enough. This just does not sound like a good solution (though I admit I did not explore alternative music players and how much order they can bring to the status quo with some tweaking).

3, Theoretically speaking it sounds like if I could find an awesome integrated music player with a built in podcatcher (an app that could take care of both downloading and playing my podcasts and dealing with my music) that could work great assuming it allows the phone to take over controls inside and during incoming calls. I have not found such an app yet.

4, Anything I missed?

I am pretty much a perfectionist when it comes to this thing. We are talking about the three main functionality of my personal smartphone (closely followed by email, the browser and possibly the map which all work great). I need these things to work seamlessly and flawlessly to be happy as they worked with the iPhone. (Well, the iphone didn't have the automated podcatching capability but I was able to sync whenever I wanted so it was close enough.)

Android :: Music App With Integrated Podcast Management?

Oct 29, 2010

Having a little trouble with my music/podcast management, primarily because of my Bluetooth connections. I have the stock music app for my music, and then Doggcatcher for my podcasts. Unfortunately, this causes confusion when I am pausing and playing via Bluetooth - both apps will start playing, or one app will play and the other will pause...

It would be mostly solved if Android would give priority to the focused application when responding to Bluetooth commands (so I could just open the app I want and then it would act normally), but unfortunately, such is not the case.

Is there any kind of good music app out there that does good podcast management? I don't need much, just the ability to download podcasts on demand, and remember how much of the podcast I've listened to.

Suggestions? DoubleTwist claims to do this, but I have to connect to the computer to sync, which I think is friggin' stupid. I just want to be able to do everything OTA.

Samsung Behold 2 :: How To Disable "Subscription Upgrade Required" Notifications?

Jul 26, 2010

I just recently bought the Samsung Behold 2 and installed the Behold 2 1.6 No Twiz from this forum and so far I'm loving it! Much faster than the stock rom. Now the only problem I have is that when I use an app with ads, such as Alarm Clock Plus V2, I get this "Subscription Upgrade Required" page from my browser since I don't have a data plan. I really don't need a data plan since I just connect through Wi-fi to download all necessary apps/games from the market and use the web. So my question is, is it possible to disable these notifiers? I mean, if I'm connected through Wi-fi I don't get these notifiers, but that's not always the case.
