NFL Mobile Live is OUT for the Droid!

[jwbeeler]

I've been checking it out for about 20 min now and it works great. I turned NFL network on my TV and the NFL mobile app at the same time and there was less than a 2 second delay on mobile. Love this app!!!

I didn't realize NFL network was streaming 24/7...awesome.

Won't load on my stock Droid, I get the "only for Verizon customers" error. Curious if it has to do with the OTA 2.1 vs. the first day "leaked" 2.1. I am running the first day file, and even received a "congrats" email from Verizon. Weird

I downloaded it from the market under verizion tab. works great.

I forced my update after the OTA started using the update.zip file on the forums here. Never received the "congrats" email. My droid is still stock.

I used the link to download NFL mobile, then I looked on the market under the Verizon tab and clicked install from there and it handled it like an update to an app. It worked both before and after I got it from the market.

I got the error message. I'm running the leaked 2.1. "pull down editor" tip above makes no sense to me.

WTF??? I wants some football!!!

I rebooted and it worked once, now it won't work!! what a tease!!

Tried and failed, I'd imagine a fix may be in the works. Or, it's regional for some reason.

Does this only use you data plan or does it send text messages to you as well? Did I also read that it will cost in the future? How much?

Make sure you are not on wi-fi. I know that messed up skype mobile and said verizon for me. Also make sure your banner on the pull down top menu says verizon wireless and not extended network. Also so do a *228 update to see if that fixes it.

Wifi off, no go. I'm not sure what is meant by the "top menu" that mentioned. Thanks for trying.

Where you time and signal and battery are. The notification bar. If you slide it down it will say Verizon or extended network. Also I saw that they already upgraded the app today very recently so I would try to download the new one.

Update came, still Nada. Guess I will have to stop paying Verizon if I'm not a customer

Hey all. Just a thought... I am with Verizon (obviously), but I am on an Alltel plan. I get the Verizon customers only message too. Just curious if others not being able to use this are on a former Alltel plan?

 

[Keyser-Soze]

I finally got mine to work. I think the problem was that I wasn't getting a 3g signal, just a weak phone signal. With the 3g, it works like a charm, even if I use it on Wifi.

Mine shows unknown network. Anyway to fix it without resetting?

 

[BlueIce5249]

Ive done some research on this and it looks like anyone that had an old Alltel plan won't be able to use this app. Apparently to use this, and skype apparently, you have to switch your plan over to a verizon plan. BUMMER. Makes me miss Alltel really, they were so open about what you did with their phones and crap.

On a side note, what is this pulldown thing everyone is talking about? When I pull down my notification bar it doesn't say Verizon Wireless or Extended Network.

 

[labwizard]

If you go into settings, about phone, status. See Network, mine says unknown. I have called *228 and "reactivated (1) and updated roaming (2), both to no avail.

Same here.

Verizon is aware of the issue and is quickly attempting to correct it. Verizon staff received an internal email stating just that yesterday. Give em' some time, they'll sort things out!

They still haven't even fixed it for Skype, I doubt there's going to be a quick fix if any for NFL.

My guess is this is Verizon's backhanded way of getting rid of all the Alltel contracts that are probably losing them money.

I figured as many as I'd seen out there, there would be a fix. Season's a ways off so I'm OK. I even went back out on "my verizon" and "reactivated", just in case. No go still so it's off to walk the dog. Appreciate the update!

Sure. I'm sure somebody clever will alter the app to allow any android phone to access content on this app.

Thats what I figured too, but from what I've read people have already called Verizon tech support and they've been told there won't be a fix for this problem beyond changing your plans. That makes sense though, if there was a fix coming it would have already been done with the Skype app, but it's still a no go for that app as well.

Stupid Verizon, I used to defend your asses against AT&T. But that's hard to do when you tell your own customers that they can't use "verizon only" apps without changing your rate plans

They have some decent plans, you might consider it..

lol I've been through this with Verizon already when I upgraded to the Droid. None of their plans will give me what I have now for the same amount of money. "Upgrading" my plan will cost me more and give me less...go figure
