BitBop Issues

[lovy]

Is anyone having problems downloading Bitbop? when I try it's like um stuck on a loading screen it says loading please wait. I have been trying for half an hour I stopped the download and tried again but the same thing happens

Yup, it doesn't download, neither does Rock Band. So, screw 'em.

Noticed that I had to allow third party apps to download the update for Bitbop

First time I tried to run RockBand it just sat loading or installing or something and then I got distracted by something else (oooh...shiney). Later on I cam back and it look a few seconds and now it runs fine. Never used BitBop or even know what it is.

Think you're on to something....I remember it telling me I had to do that for RockBand too.

Looks like Bitbop is a streaming media service.

Google search is your friend

Yeah, it also interrupted my infinite repeat of Protest the Hero when I switched to it. BitBop is officially on my shiz-list.

I am still having issues getting BitBop to work. It just sits at the sign-in screen. Did you install the BITBOP update to get this to work. I tried with and without, any suggestions. Already did a re-boot....

Im afraid to allow the install because it states that I have to allow third party and I will not be secure, it say allow this application to Your messages (receive SMS) Your personal information (read contact data) Network communication (full internet access)
Storage (MODIFY/DELTE sd CARD CONTENTS) Phone calls (read phone and state identity) System tools (prevent phone from sleeping) After reading that I ran! that was enough for me.

Very pissed they advertise this game specific for the device but its only a demo and you need to pay for full version.

Stupid bloatware videos on this phone are a joke.

Have never got the app to work yet -- did ANYONE actually get the app to work?

Here is my response from BitBop directly:


Nathan: Hi, my name is Nathan. How may I help you?
AMY SACKETT: Yes I just purchased a HTC Thunderbolt today and the bit bop app is pre-installed. I cannot get it to work. Please help!! Verizon doesn't seem to know anything about the app or how to help
Nathan: I'm sorry, but we are not supporting your phone model at the moment. Just check our website Bitbop | Watch on-demand TV and movies on your phone for the updates of supported handsets. You can click this link directly for the list of phones we support, http://http://www.bitbop.com/handsets.
Nathan: Do you have other phone to use?
AMY SACKETT: That is ABSOLUTELY crazy seeing as this app was pre-installed on the device
AMY SACKETT: NO, I don't. I need to cancel my subscription then
Nathan: I will cancel your service now. Please know that no charge was made on your account.
Nathan: Is there anything else that I can assist you with today?
AMY SACKETT: Do you have plans to support the HTC Thunderbolt 4G phone seeing as your app was pre-installed on it?
Nathan: We are constantly expanding our services to cater the demand of our potential customers. However, we are unable to provide the timelines on when we will provide service to your device. Just check our website for the updates.
Nathan: Would that be all for now?

No free tv that i know off but you can get a used slingbox off of ebay for less or around $100 than pay one time app purchase price of. $30 and hook it up to your cable box you can watch it from anywhere in the world you can even control your dvr.

Does BitBop work yet? How much is it? Looks cool.

Try TV Show Streams... It isn't live TV like the Spring one or VCast but it has the most of the latest TV shows as well as many older shows. It is not free (trial has only six random shows at any time) but for a small one time payment, we can have so many shows on our little phone.
