What the.................

 

Google needs to pull their heads out of their you know whats. I just lost access to Google Wallet because I'm rooted. Who is NOT going to root a Nexus?

Yeah they have been doing this for awhile now.

Not enough ppl complain about it to get a change done.

 

I think there's a perma-root app in the market that will let u in a sense unroot then u can reboot and go back to market download the movie, go back and reroot after....maybe?

Think its OTA rootkeeper....Or you can hand around xda or other sites as there likely will be moded playstore.apk that will bypass the root check.

I wouldn't be so quick to jump on Google's back. Does anyone know why they disallow it? It may have something to do w/ DRM and their contracts with content providers.

 

It's not DRM bc there are many ways to have the media DRM protected even on rooted devices. Makes no difference. It's all about the content providers as they are always the last to adapt and accept new things.

Yeah, I didn't even think about Netflix. That is available on all handsets, not just non-rooted ones. DRM was the reason it took so long to come to Android when it was on iOS for a long time.

Netflix as stated...

 

It's all about implementation and getting the big networks to agree...the later is always the toughest part as everyone is so scared of piracy though they will stream their shows on sites for home pc to capture just as easily....smh

Yup DRM was it, first it was only for devices that had it built in the chip itself but they evolved the app to have it in it itself or their streams have it directly.

Looks like it is "due to requirements related to copyright protection." Google should do a search using their own search engine and they will find pirate movies all over the place. As

And of course, I'd much rather steal movies streamed with a poor bitrate at a low resolution to my phone than use Google to search out any of the thousands of places where I could steal them using my computer.

I was to try out Inglorious Basterds that Google offered for a quarter.

 

One of my favorite, all time movies! It's dark...so you have to be in the right mood to watch it. But it's one of the few Brad Pitt movies I can stomach. "Killing Natzees!"

I am sorry if anyone is offended by the language but this was too funny of a rant not to share.

Not only funny, but I agree whole heartedly. I can watch Netflix on my rooted device. This is BS. I hope WebOS free source takes off.

Yeah it is total BS if you ask me. I hope this doesn't start a trend of things to come.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
