Anyone having any luck getting the video icon to show up on a tablet/phone?
PLEASE PRESS THE THANK BUTTON IF THIS HELPS YOU!
YES!! I got this to work last year by editing the build.prop file to make my HTC HD2 running android look like a Nexus S. I even had fun with it so the market reports my phone as an HTC Nexus S.
I downloaded At Bat 12 in Feb. and the spoof still worked.
I just upgraded my phone to an HTC Sensation XE. he video icon was hidden on my new phone because it too is not officially supported.
I edited the build.prop on my new phone similarly and like magic, At Bat 12 shows the video icon now.
Here's how to do it:
0. Go to system settings->applications and clear data for At Bat 12
1. Using an app like Root Explorer, navigate to system->build.prop
2. Make sure you have r/w access and long press build.prop file to open in text editor
3. Scan build.prop file and make:
ro.product.model=Nexus S
(there may be 2 ro.product.model lines that need to be changed
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
NOTE: These are the most important lines to change. If these don't work by themselves you can also make:
---OPTIONAL---
ro.product.brand=HTC_wwe
ro.product.name=yakjuxw
ro.product.device=maguro
4. Save build.prop file and open again to verify that changes were made. If your changes are not there, check that you are in r/w mode and repeat from step 1.
5. restart your phone, open At Bat 12 and reenter your account details.
Let me know if this helps you. If it does not, let the forum know and we can work out the kinks. This method works for sure... no exceptions.
For those of you who think MLB will somehow rescue your video capabilities on opening day..... IF YOU CAN'T STREAM VIDEO DURING SPRING TRAINING, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STREAM VIDEO ON OPENING DAY!! I highly recommend editing your build.prop.
