well i know a browser called skyfire allows you to watch hulu on flash enabled devices pretty well but as far as netflix, i've never been a subscriber so i have no idea.

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.

Does anyone know if the new Android Netfix app will ever work on the A7? I installed it on my EVO and it is sweet! But the screen is TINY!

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.

Thanks,
I had installed the cracked version on my Evo4G and Evo3D, and it installed on the A7 but would never work.
I always ignored the "there is a newer version available" message until I read your post. Works like a charm now... Resolution seems like it sucks a little, but that may have just been the movie I tested with.
Just down loaded from Market. Install and logged in. It works great!!!
Works great!!!

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.
Thanks to everyone that has helped develop the mode!
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.
I've be seaching for the Elocitymod 1.42a, but haven't been able to find it. Can anyone tell me where I can get it or send a link? Thanks

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.
Where did you guys get the Skype Video apk and the Netflix APK is it from the XDA thread?
EDIT: Found the Netflix APK

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.

I'm pretty sure the Skype .apk I'm using is found here: http://www.droid-life.com/2011/04/11/download-skype-with-video-on-android/
I tested the Skype and Netflix (The NEW NetFlixONE PowerHouse ColorConversion Super App [High Color Contrast Very Bright]) they both work pretty much flawlessly for me on wi-fi!

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.
When I try to install the Skype mobile apk, I just get an "application not installed" message. Any tricks I can try?
I've tried the first download link and the mirror.

I'm in the same boat, I'm S-Off with the latest Cyanogenmod 7 Nightly flashed and the skype apk won't install. I got the netflix apk to install without a hitch.

Do a Google search for "Skype with video support for various devices". First result. Sorry, can't post outside links...

Thank you, I actually was able to find the file, and it installed successfully. I haven't been able to test video yet, but the option is available.
Yea I found a different Skype Apk after I posted that, and It fully works, both front and back cameras. And you can still IM while the video is on. Pretty cool.

I just skyped with my wife via wireless connection, and it works amazingly well. We were on for 45mins, and it never stuttered or reduced quality. At some point I'll try 3G and see how well that works.

If you open settings, yes. Just close the tab.
Right after installing and testing the new Flash App I had the first crash and reboot of my Nexus. So still a bit buggy...
mine's working fine. I use flash for very few sites, but at least it works so far.
How can it be disabled after install?
Thanks
i think ill pass.. my phone has been working great without it thus far.. lol

Unistalled it anyway. The minute I added it to the phone it started to hiccup. F#$#ing Flash.
yesss! i love it! I just came from froyo and i was really upset that the latest and greatest android phone didn't support flash! I called up samsung twice to vent about how pissed i was that the principal selling point of android phones over apple's phones is lacking on google's flagship model.
It also give me a great argument at Bell's loyalty department to get my self a KILLER plan
But now its here! and i am ever so happy!

I agree what a disappointment. Sure it works but it completely ruined the browsers buttery smooth scrolling.
Just install it and set plugins to 'on demand'. That way it won't ruin the performance, but you have the opportunity to start flash if you want to.
don't miss it. So won't bother installing it until I need it for something.
It doesn't hurt to have it especially if you set it to on demand. Surprised at how many people are unaware of this option.

Same here. I'm not playing any flash games and YouTube is working very nicely via the app.
No flash ad banners either. Yay.
I have been a Slingplayer user for over six years. Yes I know how to set up my router. I can sling to any computer, to my iphone, to my ipad2, but when I try it on my Galaxy Nexus it will go to the screen where you choose your slingbox or the "directory" then just stays on that screen. I can click my box but to no avail.
I am 100% sure its an issue with either the android app, my Gnex, or another app that may be conflicting with it.
I am on CM9Kang 4.0.3 with the 4.0.3 radios and boot loader, I am using fracos kernel 12, and nova launcher. has anyone else had any issues.
I use the Sling Player and it has been working fine for me. I'm running the Codename Android rom.

Me, too. No problems with Slingplayer on the rooted stock ROM.
What radios and bootloader do you have?
This is as far as I can get.
using 4.0.3 radio. Have you tried a different sling player apk file? I'm sure its something within the phone if its working on everything else.

Guys,
I am experiencing the same thing as Chakra. My Slingbox works great on my iPad but when I connect to my Galaxy Nexus it fails to load past the Directory Screen.
I spoke to supervisors at Slingbox and they have no clue what to do and told me to reach out to Google who has no clue what to do. This is the only forum on the web who has someone that has gotten past this. Please help me out.
