[Q] Netflix - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

anybody else having problems with the android xda app

is anyone else using the xda app here I can't get it to do much of anything once I log in.
Since updating to 2.0.71 from 1.0.84 the xda app has been pretty much useless.
It force closes often while trying to view threads and ALWAYS force closes on exit if I'm logged in so it loses the login data. Start up time is also excessive.
Had no problems on the 2.1 firmware whatsoever.
Market problem? Firmware problem? App problem?
Confirmed... alas, it didn't work from the start, even with 2.1.
Same problems here.

It never worked for me, either. I remember with my Eris that when we got Froyo we had to use an older version of XDA for a while. My first Archos died before i could investigate, and i just got my replacement yesterday. I will try to find an older version.
If anyone has an older one they could post...Im too scared to search the XDA forums with any of these keywords "xda, apk, developer, application"...
Xda app is never work once I logged in, failed.
I use tapatalk, working perfectly on my A70IT. Xda app is based on tapatalk, it looks identical.
doesnt work for me too

Thanks, that certainly works better! Although, with this version theres no favourite forum feature? So you have to navigate to the required forum each time - unless I'm missing something?

It works fine as long as you don't sign in.
No good for me either. Constat force close
I have two Android tablets, an Archos 101 and a Zenithink ZT-180. Neither one works with the newer XDA application - FC after a few clicks. This older version does run, though devoid of most features that makes it useful. Is anyone embarassed?
Bye.
It's a shame,the new version is so much better,the old version works but lacks off all the practical features ,is this apply even in further development or is it frozen.

Is it possible for us to spoof as one of the allowed devices and use it?

Maybe by editing the build.prop you can achieve this.
I tried spoofing the Nexus S 4g, but unfortunately no luck on the video.
Edit: Actually it does not look like the Nexus S 4G is supported either..

You don't. You can use a third party text app and block it from view, but I find widgets like APW pull from the stock message app so they are still shown on the widget. You can also either wait and see if the cm team integrates a work around to hide them or use GV. I just use GV.

Latest version of flash hex edited

Has anyone found the latest version of flash hex edited?
It seems like hulu might of patched that exploit, but it was still working with dish online.
Sent from my Synergized Aggressive Lionfish Evo using the XDA app
well i will certainly bump this since i saw your post and we use the same thread for Hulu. all i have is the 10.2.155.67 .apk which is not working anymore.
I'll start digging elsewhere too
edit: any interest in trying this?

So are you saying the latest version of Flash, hex-edited, no longer works with hulu, or are you asking for the latest version to try?
I'll edit the latest version and see if I can get it to work.
P.S. I love your kernel
I accidently upgraded mine from the market and figured I might as well see if I can get the newest version of flash.
I saw a couple threads saying hulu fixed the hex edit trick, but I was using hulu, and dishonline (blockbuster replacement) not that long before upgrading so I am hoping it still works
Glad your liking Lionfish!!

That is hulu plus and this edited flash version is recognized as a PC, not mobile so you can watch hulu on the stock browser. That was reason #1 I rooted my phone when I had my first child. Couldn't have the TV on.

NFL mobile on rooted devices

I figured I would start a thread on this. NFL mobile is no longer working on rooted devices. Disabling root and hide my root are not working for me to get it working (stocked rooted md4 and moar).
Reverting does work still so here is the previous version:

Any other ideas?

Does your device show NORMAL under STATUS>DEVICE STATUS? I have TPR modded to set status back to NORMAL. NFL app just updated and still works fine.
Updated app doesn't work for me either. Not that it matters espn.com shows all the same info. Now of it was the streaming verison like Verizon, I'd be singing a different tune.
Running most up to date MOAR and device shows normal in the menu.

Yes that is really weird. I saw the notice that the app updated and figured it would be dead, but it came right up with no issue.
Can someone post the updated app? Please. I want to see of it works for me. And how do you get it to work if its for Verizon only?
EDIT: So I thought this was NFL Mobile that is exclusive to Verizon. Not the Game center thing.

Ha so sure enough, I flashed TPR this morning and downloaded the NFL app and it came right up for me. Very strange!!
however looking at the app, it says NFL Mobile from Verizon? Not sure if they all do but it's the same app in the market. I don't have a non-rooted phone to compare it with lol.
It's there a flash able zip that changes status on phone from modified to normal ?

The modified status doesn't seem to be the issue as my moar ROM is set as normal. I'm assuming something else deeper in the ROM.

Apparently not so inexplicably...lol. Now if someone can find out what the app is looking for (logcat?) and why TPR is working someone can make a bypass of the root check. I am pretty sure MOAR uses Supersu like TPR and not Superuser, so it is not that.
