[Q] Netflix

So Netflix came out for some devices today. I grabbed a version of it and installed it and it seems it's authenticating the device type when a streaming request is sent. Who wants to figure out how to spoof this?

many have tried, all have failed.........so far.

Deja vu... again

I'll post steps soon. I've got it on Froyo on the Epic which is a little bit different than some of the other solutions floating out there.

In theory it should work but we have yet to find the right combination of spoofs in the build.prop

I have been messing with build.prop but have yet to find a good config. Also some changes break other apps...may not be worth it.

With the "Swiss Cheese Samsprint" EE03 rom, Netflix works great, as well as everything else...

Netflix works perfectly for me with this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082783
It doesnt support the Epic but with this ROM it thinks the phone is a Nexus S. I've had great success with this ROM. Everything works except for the FM radio but I use TuneIn so it doesnt matter. You still need a subscription to Netflix. Hoping ya'll can afford $8 a month LOL

Yup, Netflix works great on the Swiss Cheese rom (Gingerbread 2.3)

What do you mean by it works? Like the streaming video works? Or just the browser and such? Because that was working since the LG version leaked

Devices section in Google play

Never had it on my phone. Several ROMs including CM9 and now on JB. I'm on Sprint GN. Anyone know why and what to do to be able to see devices section? When I click a link in a browser it just takes me to the main screen of the play store. What am I missing?
Thanks.

You won't see it on your device.

Damn. I want to be able to browse the entire Play Store here, too.

This whole Flash issue sucks. My favorite porn site uses flash for all the videos and I'm unable to stream them on the go now!

3rd Update Found it! For the normal Dolphin Browser that you can download from the playstore right now, the file that needs to be deleted is:
data/data/mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser/shared_prefs/mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser_preferences.xml
When I deleted this and restarted Dolphin Browser then it went from "Off" to "Always On"

Many apps don't work on N7-2

This is almost certainly due to android 4.3 but I still was surprised. My launcher8, launcher7, asphault7, Nfs etc.

Normal after an update. I'm sure the Devs know. You can try dropping them a line.

Doesn't work for me, it installs , but codecs don't seem to function well. Some of my mkv files play sound but not video...Never happened before 4.3

That's very normal after a change of SDK version. Try contacting devs.

We just don't get it. Old Xperia L could play it, but the S3 get's no love on the game for some reason,.

Its an issue with 4.3 on the S3 and I don't know why they haven't been able to fix it. I did get it to run a while back but had to install an older version that I knew worked because I used to run it

Yeah the older versions worked perfectly but the new one is not.

You'll probably just have to wait for a bug fix update then.

This new versions been out for a while. I dont think theyre doing a bug fix.
Ps: does anyone know how to disable the update notification in the old versions. i cant play with data/wifi on because it keep bugging me to update to the new version. it takes me to the market and as you know its "incompetible"

If enough people email the dev it might motivate them to fix it. Especially if everyone starts demanding refunds and leaving poor reviews. No guarantee of course, but its more guaranteed that nothing will happen if no one tries to make it happen!
In app manager most apps have a checkbox for display notifications. Maybe that'll help?

Its a notification that shows when you open the app, and if you don't update it you can't play it

Well that's pretty lame!

I have found a solution. I was browsing Samsung's galaxy app store and saw asphalt 8 being featured so I was like what the hay, so I installed it and it runs perfectly! Maybe they forgot to unblock the S3 from when it was having problems at Google play? Anyways give it a try!
