Just flashed the latest cm9 on my sgs2 with siyah kernel.

All other video apps now work so in theory sky go should too but its not. This could be for a number of reasons: the kernel updating, android 4.04 or some other yet unknown bug.

Anyone got any ideas?

Edit: its not the kernel or android version

It's the only solution right now switched to an Evo 3D and sky go works if I flash stock rom then hide root then install skygo_1.5_mod

Thanks for the suggestion, but in my case I have a streak 5 which is a 'phablet' so as I understand it, the imei should not be the issue.

Dell Streak 5.

After trying all the tips here for a rooted device with no success apart from sky news, I resorted to returning to stock.

I installed olleh 407 along with skygo_test.0.1.5 and now I have all channels working.

I have now rooted the above ROM and can report skygo_test.0.1.5 still works, provided you hide root with Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper

I finally have Sky Go working on my Wifi Xoom!

Not through the stupid app though. I downloaded Splashtop Remote which is free on Getjar or available here:

http://www.megashare.com/3816036

Then I just remotely connected to my laptop and ran Sky Go and it works brilliantly and I have audio and its pretty smooth.


The picture quality is probably slightly worse than the app but I can live with that and plus I have access to a lot more than the poxy 4 channels I would have through the app (if it worked).

Been using splashtop for ages on my ipad but thought I'd try it on my Desire considering the restrictions with the sky go and must say it works pretty great. Over 3G, set it to smooth instead of sharp and the cricket this morning is very watchable!

Archos101 + Sky GO

Hi,

I've installed the skygo_test_0.1.5.apk on my archos101 and the sky go app starts OK. Problem is that whatever channel I view I get Error 9, cannot connect to stream. Is there anything else I should be doing to get the app to work?

Thanks

    So can someone with a non-compatible handset try this? Seems too simple, but I can't try it.

    This is just a device and OS version workaround, not root.

    Sky Go More than 2 Devices

    !!EDIT!! Some people have been finding when you create a new account when following this guide, the new account has the devices from the first account replicated into it, any modifications to the devices in the new account affect the original account, I am sorry but I think this is what is "meant" to happen when a new account is created. I dont know of any fix for this unfortunately. !!EDIT!!

    Hey Guys, I made a post earlier in this thread stating I knew how to get round the 2 device restriction, several people messaged me asking me for instructions on how to do so, I didnt realise so many people had been restricted by it, however, I was at work and couldnt post a follow up then so here it is.

    I am not sure where I should post this, but this thread seems a good enough place at the moment as here is where people will be looking at information about the android sky go app so here goes:

    I am not sure if this should be possible via the sky system or whether its just a very unpublished "feature" but you dont have to do anything dodgy to do this, I noticed it was possible when i was setting up an additional user for my housemate.

    Basically the gist of this workaround makes use of the ability to link multiple sky user accounts together, if you know how to create sky user accounts, the solution is as simple as to create some more accounts and add more devices to the other accounts. for those who dont know how to do that I have more details below.

    I am not sure whether this works for people who pay for the online subscription rather than have the sky service installed in their house. I have sky installed and it works for me.
    !!EDIT!! It seems people who only have sky go subscription cannot perform the verify your sky id step and therefore cannot create additional users, not sure if this applies to everyone but quote below from skimminstones says it doesnt work for him with just a sky go subscription !!EDIT!!

    skimminstones said:
    Im not sure it does. You have to verify your id to be able to add additional users and i have been told by sky that as i inly have a skygo subscription and not an actual house installation then i cant verify my id. Seems its not available

    Go here and login using your original Sky ID /password:
    (I dont think I can post links yet so you will have to make the link)
    https:// skyid. sky .com/signin/mysky

    Go to Profile & Settings > Additional Users

    Click setup an additional user.
    Follow the steps to setting up a new user, you need another email address and thats about it really.

    Login on the unregistered device with the newly created sky ID/pw
    you will now be able to register 2 new devices to this account, the original account will still have the two devices registered.
    you can have 9 additional users so 10 accounts in total, meaning you actually register 20 devices, more than most people will need I would think ;)

    Good luck, hope this helps those that where being restricted by two devices.

    Please avoid replying to this comment in this thread, pm me replies and I will edit this post with information on peoples success with this if you would like. I dont want to hijack this thread at all as really want to see the Sky go app working on my phone.

    If a mod wants me to move this somewhere else I am more than happy to do so, but I dont think XDA has a specific sky forum :S

    Wifi only tablets seem to be coming up with "unknown error" when trying to view channels. I have a Archos 70 and Hannspree Hannspad both of which are doing this. Both allow me to sign in but will not let me view any channels Sky News or paid. Also people with Nook Color and Asus Transformer TF101 seem to have the same. So how is the app picking up on this?

    Interesting link - I think I know why this is happening, let me try something, I'll upload it in a bit.

    EDIT: Try the 0.1.3 version. I can't test this at the moment for wi-fi only device, but the app runs without a problem on my phone.

    I also get the (error37) on my Orange Monte Carlo (ZTE SKATE) using all the skygo_test apks when trying to view Sky News.

    Looks like this error is "live viewing general error" - has it ever worked? Could be temporary on their side.

    Tried both apk 1.2 and 1.3 last night on an Acer A500 Iconia with unrooted Honeycomb 3.2 rom, still doesnt stream, just comes back with unknown error when trying to watch anything.

    Right, here's an updated version that should get people further on wi-fi only devices. Not expecting any video still yet though. There's more of you than I expected!

    Usual disclaimers apply: I'm not responsible if your cat runs away, your device gets bricked, Sky send you a bill for "those channels" and your wife finds out. Use this at your own risk.

    The .apk is below, please report whether it works.

    According to Sky it should only work on:
    HTC Desire
    HTC Desire S
    HTC Desire HD
    HTC Incredible
    HTC Sensation
    Samsung Galaxy S
    Samsung Galaxy S II.

    And it only works on Froyo (2.2) and Gingerbread (2.3), so no ICS yet using the official app.

    There are also some issues with root and DRM begin not able to see some content.

    credit to Sky for the app.

    credit to gumbald for the upload.
