Nope, no netflix. Netflix claims they can't because the content providers require DRM and there just isn't any on Android.
Ahh the price of freedom
Netflix said there will be a app coming after the new year, they said that a little while ago
I remember trying skyfire but it didn't work. Well Netflix doesn't work tryed that. Hopefully Netflix pulls it together I was watching it on my friends iPhone 4 and it looked good. Hopefully we will have it after new years late Christmas present haha.

Netflix is slated to release for our phones in the coming months i believe. Hulu can be played on our phones via a modified browser.apk i remember seeing these floating around in the nexus one forums. I'm sure you could find it there or somewhere here. However using the modified browser.apk will not allow you to play netflix because the desktop netflix client is based off of microsoft silverlight and not flash.
Hope this helped.

For one does anyone own nova and have gotten through the singleplayer with it.
Secondly I am on the second mission, something void. I get to a part in the game where you have to upload the virus using a terminal. After uploading the virus those green aliens spawn in and I kill them all. After killing them all nothing happens all the door locked.
I downloaded the game from the android gameloft website and purchased it after testing the trial bfrom the games ui.

It's a known issue. I managed to play through the game using version 3.3.9. Anything I upgraded to seemed to get hung at one part or another (virus upload or the hangar area in the level after the virus part). Hope this helps.
I have same problem ...so I started over thinking I did something wrong lol...guess I didnt
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Yea thats what I gathered, gamelofts support as not very helpful and instead just said device not supported. Instead of telling about the bug.
I guess only way to play is to find that lower version which is disappointing considering I paid money for this.
There's a version on a website that sounds like Wobilism (turn the W upside down and you have your site) They have addressed this issue and have a fixed version. Keep in mind it is hacked and since warez and stuff aren't supported here so I can't link to it. Works fine for me though and I can confirm it works.
Its just a patch in my eyes since I actually bought it, thanks for the tip.

If I could recall the link I'd post it but long story short is this: Netflix will not allow any phone without a special processor on it which prevents copyright infringement to run the Netflix App. There are like 2 phones maybe which already have this, they say(speaking only of Android ones here). Snapdragon procs can indeed have this, however the OEM would have to had requested this when they ordered them from Qualquam. And apparently they did not, so if you are on an EVO you will never get legit Netflix(or on almost any other current phone). Newer phones will start to have labels like(Netflix Enabled!) soon and this is the only way android is actually gonna get Netflix. Hopefully the hacker community can get those of us with custom ROMS access but from the article I read(which was very detailed) it isn't looking very likely at all(something about Netflix being encrypted in some way and you having to have one of these special CPUs just to watch it I believe).
That sucks thats for sure. I would love netflix then I wouldn't have to carry my ipod touch around anymore.

There is a way to watch Netflix on an android Phone with Playon. Playon is PC software that runs on your home computer, and then your phone connects to your home computer. You must have your PC on anytime you want to watch Netflix. I have never tried it but I did look into it.

Isn't that the same reason Netflix doesn't run on Linux distros? So, naturally, I'd assume it'd come on to Android, only when it can first come on to Linux.

Yes and no. It actually did work on Linux way back when. But the problem is that Netflix uses Silverlight and that contains DRM libraries that Netflix enjoys. Netflix streaming worked on Moonlight a long time ago but the libraries have been updated. Now as far as phones go, there's only one phone that will officially have Netflix on Android. And that phone has a processor that plays well with the DRM.
Check out the Android Movies app, its better than netflix cause you don't need a subscription, just purchase the app and thats it!

Netflix just came or with an app some time ago and works great on the Evo.

I don't count on it ever working,but I put playon on mine and it works pretty much perfectly.You can install it on your computer then you are basically steaming but you have Netflix, Hulu CBS,tbs comedycentral,syfy and the list goes on.You can try it out for a couple of weeks for free and then if you want to keep it they are pretty cheap and have several ways to subscribe,from monthly,yearly and even a one time payment for a lifetime subsciption.Anyway I got tired of waiting and got it on sell and haven't looked back.It is more than you can imagine and you can use it on PS3.Xbox,Wii,and several blueray players.Pretty much anything that is DLNP capable .
Anyway didn't mean to ramble but hope this helps.
There is a netflix app available without the checks and already signed. Most have said they can get it running in a gingerbread rom. I haven't been able to get it working on the A7's rom however.

I know that they won't allow it to run on devices that are rooted, but I think if you search the forums you'll find a modded apk that should run.

I updated to this version and it works well. I've noticed that the resolution starts out bad but rapidly improves. I am really happy with this tablet now. It pretty much does most things I want it to do. Only thing left for me to conquer is moving apps 2 external SD.

Just wanted to make sure everyone is aware that you can adjust the quality of your stream through netflix. Just head to your account page on netflix.com and towards the bottom is a link to adjust the quality.

On my completly factory A7+ I got netflix working only through an account on amazon
Still can't find way for un modified A7+ to get HBO GO
more to point. I cant get netflix audio (or any audio) through hdmi on my ~5 yr old Insignia HD TV, is it possible adjusting stream quality will solve the no audio? I tried it on a new 55" Toshiba and audio/video work perfect (and wow, a 3' tall angry bird is cool)
This has been answerd in old threads as, "some tv's audio works, some don't"
Any new fixes?
Anyway to put screen to sleep while still streaming through hdmi?
Does anyone have CM7 with netflix, skype (w/video), and wireless tethering all working on their incredible 2?
I am thinking about trading in my inc2 for an iphone 4 because I know the netflix and skype w/video apps work without spending any time modifying the OS. And from what I've heard the jailbreak process for wireless tethering is super easy on the iphone 4.
However, if it is fairly easy to get all of this working on an inc2 (meaning I don't want to spend more than a few hours), then I will just keep mine and avoid giving in to apple.
I'm on CM7 and a Skype video test call worked, whereas before rooting this morning the video test would crash the app. xgunther said in another thread that he had wireless tether working, but I've not been able to get CM7's integrated tether nor the source wifi tether app to work. Might just be my PC, though. I can see the networks, but I'm having a hard time getting an IP.
I don't have a netflix account so can't comment on that.
Netflix is apparently working: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15494240&postcount=18
Wifi tethering worked for me on the first try, Netflix works (it's sort of laggy), and I haven't tested Skype video calling.
I'm on the latest nightly build as of July 8. What isn't working for me is the compass (north=south).
FWIW, I did stumble across a thread about wireless tethering where someone mentioned that the latest version (beta) does not work and said to use the latest non-beta version.
I have yet to root my phone and verify myself though.

I was able to find the Skype apk by doing a Google search. I actually found two of them. However, since I am currently running Android 2.2, they just force close when I enable video. From what I have read you need to use the Android 2.3 in order to get the Skype w/video apk to work on an inc2.

with apple though, everytime they do a software update don't you have to wait for a new jailbrake and do it all over again? btw it's really easy to S-OFF & install a ROM on the Inc 2
Netflix works, WiFi and USB tether work on CM7, apparently Skype video works, and there is a Zip you can flash to get video chat in Google Talk or search "Talk 1.3 installer" in marketplace.

You can back up the app from your phone with a back up app, move it to your cloud storage or a flash drive (you can also use a SD card with a card reader). If you're using the cloud, just log in on you N7 & DL it. If it's on a SD reader or flash drive, connect it to your N7, go to where you saved it & DL.
Can confirm, installed in my phone, download video addon apk, copied both to nexus installed fine and now prime video works great

No X1 at all. Comcast offered me a bit of a deal ($10. less for 2 years than I currently pay), but I had to use their modem. Further, I'm not at all sure how well it would work in our "end of the line/last to get anything" rural community. I also have a Slingbox that requires non-hdmi connection.
I would like to know if the X1 app works on L.

Sorry OP for taking over.
You need the wireless gateway 2 dpc3939. It's dual band wireless. That way we can rationalize paying monthly fee for modem and just think 96 a year for a guaranteed new modem router, not bad.
The x1 is awesome. You should look into it. We have 1 x1 dvr with three access boxes, one regular dta, and have every movie channel they offer and pay $186/mo after a $75 monthly discount (was 90 for a year now 75 and in Feb it drops off at which point I'll be calling back to get a new promo)
Just keep calling and tell them you are going to cancel and eventually you'll get retentions.
Your sling will work just fine with the x1 too. Plus once the cloud dvr goes to your area you'll have tons more storage and the ability to transfer your shows to your mobile device at home and take them to go.
. Just wish the cloud feature had sling box capabilities.
No clue if app is supported on L or when it will be.

Thanks for your response. Retentions is the one who called me. I pay $180./mo now (+$16. taxes,etc): performance internet; all premium but TMC; 2 HD boxes). They offered $160/mo for triple play premium (we have no home phone service and don't care to) guaranteed for 24 mos with no more than $25/mo increase for another year. I guess the modem rental fee was included. I'd also read (Comcast forums) that one box works with SlingBox but the other does not and consumers do not get to choose. Some said I could re-instate my modem after installation. It was four years for ondemand to get to my area. I don't want to start something that may not even service me once I have to pay that increase. Were you suggesting I need the wireless gateway? I'm not familiar with that so I don't know what the advantage is. I use an ASUS dual band router with a custom firmware; all computers, tv's, tablets, phones, dvd players, and game consoles have access. In any case, I'd still be interested to know if the X1 app works with Android L.
Crashes Amazon each time using those files above. I am running the L preview.
Someone in the N5 thread said it was now working with latest L preview. It's not for me on N7. Anyone have success? Do we need to find an updated apk?
Edit: yes, I needed to update the main app from 5.0.0 to 5.1.0. Now it works with L. Thanks to jhax01 in N5 thread.
