After the latest update to the Galaxy Nexus, readers are sending in countless emails to tell us that Hulu Plus is actually working on their devices. Do note, rooted users still have been left in the cold. Do we have any new 4.0.4 users here that have also noticed this new compatibility with Hulu Plus? If it’s now working for you, enjoy it.

Hulu Plus Seems to Work Just Fine on the Galaxy Nexus Now After Updating to 4.0.4 is a post from: Droid Life

Owners of the DROID RAZR or DROID RAZR MAXX who have been patiently waiting for Hulu+ support on their device, now have it. You can head on in to the Play Store and pick it up and watch all of your favorite shows or movies that are available. Unfortunately, Galaxy Nexus owners still have to wait for them to get their act together. Imagine a world where apps work for every Android device across the board. Wouldn’t that be sweet?

Cheers Matthew! 

Hulu Plus App Finally Supports DROID RAZR and RAZR MAXX, Pick it Up in the Play Store is a post from: Droid Life

All I can say to this app is “Wow.” If you have grown sick of waiting for Hulu to release some sort of non-membership app or to add your device to their supported list, you may want to check out Flash Video Browser. Using this app, you can watch all the Hulu you could ever dream of, just like you do through a PC browser. No subscription required, just free web-only content that for whatever reason, has been blocked from mobile devices.

And here’s to hoping that this doesn’t get shut down in the next couple of days now that it has started to get some attention.

Within the last 24 hours, something happened to Hulu Plus. As you can see from the screenshot above, it no longer works on the Galaxy Nexus, yet did yesterday and every day before that since launch. It’s tough to tell what the Hulu team is doing or what their reason is for this sudden change, but we have reached out and will report back if we hear anything.

Cheers Richard and everyone else on Twitter!

Hulu Plus Worked on the Galaxy Nexus Yesterday, No Longer Does Today is a post from: Droid Life

Been disappointed at the lack of device support for Hulu Plus?  You may want to check out the latest update then, because 9 new devices were added.  The DROID Bionic, DROID3, Incredible 2, Revolution and DROIDX2 are just a few of the big players who are now on the team.  See the full list at the market link while you enjoy enhanced playback – the only real bug fix included.

Hulu Plus Receives Update – Now Supports the DROID Bionic, DROID3, Incredible 2 and 5 Other Devices is a post from: Droid Life

Orb Live introduced the latest version of their app this morning which just so happens to include Hulu support.  And no, we aren’t talking Hulu+ paid support, we are talking the free streaming you get when you jump on their site via computer.  To be clear though, the app isn’t necessarily pulling straight from Hulu to your phone, but is instead pulling a feed from your computer and then making it playable on your phone.  Did that make sense?

So in order to get Hulu up and streaming on your phone, you will need to buy this new Orb Live app for $9.99, install some software on your PC or Mac, and then have at it.  You can also pull any other media content that’s on your home computer (music, photos, videos, Pandora, etc.) – just make sure it has an internet connection at all times.

Orb Live Brings Hulu Support and New UI to Android in Latest Release is a post from: Droid Life

A reader just sent us over an email he received from the Hulu team concerning why he couldn’t find the Hulu+ app on the Android Market from his rooted DROIDX running Gingerbread. The Hulu rep asked him numerous questions including, “Is your phone rooted? (Unfortunately, we are not able to support rooted phones)”. The only thing about that, is that it doesn’t state anywhere that the Hulu+ app doesn’t support rooted devices. 

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your email. I’m very sorry you are having problems locating the Hulu Plus application in the Android Market. I’d love to help figure this out, so if you have a moment, the answers to the following questions will help me track down what’s going on here:

• Who is your carrier? (Verizon, AT&T, etc.)
• What is model number? (Go to Settings > About Phone)
• What is the Android version? (Go to Settings > About Phone)
• Is your phone rooted? (Unfortunately, we are not able to support rooted phones)
• What is your IMEI number? It’s available via Settings -> ‘About Phone’ or ‘System Info’ varies slightly from phone to phone.

I look forward to your response.

Thanks,
Devin L.
Hulu Support

What thickens the plot even more, is that we can view Hulu videos on our rooted DROIDX running Froyo, but not our DROIDX running GB. Is it just a rooted gingerbread deal? I have no luck on my rooted Nexus S, even though the Nexus is supposedly one of the supported devices as listed in the Market.

So that’s why we’re asking you. Out of the handful of people who have a device that is supported by Hulu, are you rooted or not rooted? Does the app work, or not? Let us know!

Cheers Chris!

Hulu Plus Isn’t Supposed To Work On Rooted Devices, Does It Work On Yours? is a post from: Droid Life

Hulu made a big chunk of the Android world happy a couple of weeks ago when they announced the availability of their Plus service, but as always seems to be the case these days, HTC Thunderbolt owners were left out in the cold.  Until today, that is.  In the latest update to everyone’s favorite TV-show streaming service, the Tbolt has been added as a newly support device.  Yay!  (Support for the EVO 4G, MyTouch and G2 were also included in this update.)

Cheers aperture and Michael!

Hulu Plus Updated to Support Additional Devices Including Thunderbolt is a post from: Droid Life

Google looks to be prepping for a release of their Videos app for smartphones very shortly. For some lucky users, it has been showing up in the Android Market, then disappearing though. There’s only a few things Google really needs to implement with this release for it to be successful – Allow rooted phones to use it, lower the renting price of movies, and make sure there aren’t device compatibility issues like we’ve seen from competitors. But alas, most of these will not happen. We can dream, right? 

With competition like Hulu+ and Netflix, I think it will be tough for Google Videos to get its foot in the door. As of July 1st though, Google seems to be in preliminaries of acquiring Hulu. Game changer coming soon?

Google Videos Coming To Your Phone In The Very Near Future? is a post from: Droid Life

Talk about a big night for Android – first we had Motorola bootloader chatter and then Hulu just did the unthinkable and released their Plus service to a select few devices including the DROIDX, DROID2, HTC Inspire 4G, Atrix 4G, Nexus S and Nexus One.  Again, this is for Plus users who are already subscribed to the $7.99 monthly plan and not just for anyone that’s looking to get their Hulu on.

*Note - Looks like it won’t work if your device is running CM7.  Stock DX and Nexus S run just fine.

If your device is not supported and wanted to give it a try though, you can download the .apk file here.

Cheers 0mie!
