Haven't seen this mentioned yet but does it bother anyone else that the nav buttons don't disappear in netflix? they do fade away but the video doesn't become full screen like in youtube. I guess this is a matter of netflix updating the app to make use of the GN screen?

Correct. The only way it'll be able to do that is when Netflix updates it's app to add in ICS functionality. That's all there is to it.
niice. they just updated Netflix for GN full screen glory =)

Is it me or is netflix not that clear. Important watching via wifi and it seems to have tiny squares. Also the buttons stay lit up they won't turn off. Is there anyway to turn it off while netflix is running?

Buttons can be turned off via screen filter in market...bad quality is due to bad internet connection. Try moving closer to router or not covering up the bottom of your phone with your palm

I can confirm this, even youtube video look better than netflix for some reason
I was watching Netflix earlier, and I noticed lines, very faint but still there, in the whole movie...
Weird.

I have noticed this problem too from the very first day I got the phone. Netflix quality is miserable with very low resolution... it's not the internet connection speed (WiFi 30Mbps), and the WiFi signal is not being blocked or anything (did a Speedtest).
It's not the phone either, I had it replaced 4 times when I was trying to get one with good screen (I didn't, just gave up).
This problem is also present while streaming flash videos. The strange thing is that if you download the flash video (same one with the bad quality), and play it from the phone (using the built-in videos app), the quality is fine.
It's as if the video is not being smoothed when upscaled and played. I could see that very clearly when comparing the flash playback with the downloaded file; like a shirt collar for ex.
Maybe the built-in app uses some different method of playing videos?
+1 Netflix looks better on my g2x and my hd7 what's up with that lol

I can think of several reasons...
1.) We do not have netflix hd.
2.) Large screen with piss poor resolution.

I think those lines are the same lines that people complain about when the screen brightness isn't up all the way. But video sucks, now that you guys mention it about flash video on the web i have come to notice that also.

Does anyone know if there is a Netflix app or version that has decent video quality? I was so excited to get it back when, but the video quality or lack there of drives me crazy and I can't even watch it.

That's the way Netflix works. It works that way even on other devices like the PS3 or Roku. The point is to get it on your screen as quickly as possible, and then as the buffer fills more, it improves the quality.

That's funny, i've never let it go long enough to see that. I just get inpatient and use my hulu plus. I have been using hulu plus since July and it is high quality right from the start so I just assumed it was a problem with Netflix. Thanks, you made my day!

Im with you, i thought it was the Rom at first haha
Just came a crossed an app that disables the tegra 3 screen dimming function which causes the washed out colors. The app is nvidia tegra prism toggle...used it and noticed a big difference but MUST BE ROOTED TO USE THIS APP

It can and does open but ask for rooting rights as soon as it starts
Worked great here. Thanks for the find!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
it's been sad many times,i think there's also a 3ad somewhere of prism toggle by nvidia.Anyways,if you don't want to buy the app,you can use the tricksterMOD app and by disabling smart-dimmer in the proper tab,you do the same thing (echo "0" > /sys/devices/tegradc.0/smartdimmer/enable)
EDIT ehi,but it's warez!!!!!!!!!!!PULL IT OFF!
thanx guys, trying this out,,steve

im using trickster mod(as said above) for few weeks now. its free and easy to apply. works 100%.

I noticed that if I'm playing a youtube video, and I press the recents button, the icons look wash out/almost white. not anymore with this app.

there is no problem with the display. its a power-saving feature which doesnt save any power from what i was able to find out.
problem is that it washes out your colors. its extremly visible when you watch video for 10-20min and then press HOME. it stays like this for good 30+sec. after that it goes back to normal. watching a lot of movies, its visible whether I have this turned ON/OFF.
Do you know any solutions to this annoying problem? Its impossible to watch full screen flash videos with stock browser. Screen turns off automatically. i tried turning on/off smart stay, no difference whatsoever. I even installed 3 different versions of flash player, cleaned the browser cache ,nothing. What the hell is this? I am so sick of this stupid bugs.
do you know a way to fix it? and no I don't wanna use other browsers.

Smart Stay works for me when watching on the actual device. Not sure why it doesn't work for you.

No, smart stay works when the room is lit but I like to watch videos in bed which makes it impossible because smart stay doesnt work in dark.

Yeah , it's annoying.
But I guess Android Jellybean system files dont support adobe flash out of box so maybe tweaking system files for screen time to support flashplayer is needed.

Search for "Screen On" on Google Play. Free app, no ads. Tick the stock Internet browser and enable the service within the app (disable the annoying icon in the notifications bar within the settings). Voila, issue resolved.

I was able to use the Youtube app w the screen locked to listen to the audio, I can no longer do this, also happens with streaming any content on the web. Is this Jellybean centric? I searched numerous combinations and nothing. Anybody have any insight or solutions?

I have never been able to do this ever on any phone. When you put your phone to sleep, it shuts everything down. only way to keep things active is by using a wake lock and some apps dont have this built in. but youtube app will stop immediatly after leaving the application.

Actually I was doing the same thing, but that was long time ago. I still had my sgs vibrant. But I think google made some update or whatever and stopped that future from working, it was before I got my sgs3 (I've skipped sgs2) and loooong before jb come out. Were you able to do it on sgs3? I would love to see someone bring it back.
