Ohh, I want it too!
Hopefully this means we will be getting it soon (hacked or official). Apparently, you can have up to 6 devices linked to one Netflix account. So I will be able to watch using my wife's Netflix account.

Please oh please oh please!

I hope soon, I've been waiting fooorrreverrrr for this!

That's a quick way to reach your alloted 5gb of 4g data!

yeah, sucks having to tether to an ipod touch to get your netflix content while away from a Wi Fi source. Might be the only reason why I haven't sold my ipod actually, the netflix app.

I would be happy with just a Netflix app that solely provides the opportunity to search for movies and manage your queues, not for watching movies on the G2 (although that would be sweet).

Care to share which one is actually worth using? I've tried a couple and they're not really good. I'm looking for one designed by Netflix, not some 3rd party developer.

as far as i know android hasnt received love from netflix due to security and piracy concerns. Dated November 13th (short article BTW)
http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/13/netflix-headed-to-select-android-devices-early-next-year/#

androinica claims they have seen the Netflix app on an LG Revolution. But where can I get it for my G2?

I've about had it with Netflix and their crappy movie line up anyways. They charge you $8.99 a month (which is fair) but then they offer so few good available and the others are dvd only. Then they "fix" this issue by charging you more dvds out at a time to make up for it. Its just about screwing over folks and milking them for the $20, 30, or 40 plan. I wish they would just upload all digital streaming and offer dvd to those old fashioned folks who actually want it. Plus, their reasoning for not offering their app on android is ludicious.... I hope something better comes along soon

Damn peoples. You gotta be patient. How are people going to pull and share the Netflix app when they just figured it out recently that one exists for Android. I mean don't get me wrong, I want the app as much as the next person but its not going to magically appear. Let the Android community do its magic. I don't even think people even got to mess with the phone yet let alone the Netflix app.

History of android phones has shown that apps from pre-release dumps and leaks from upcoming phones as well as preview phones have found their way to xda before a phones release. It isn't too far fetched nor unreasonable to have a little expectation that it may have happened or will in this case

I was under the impression that one of the main reason Netflix has not come to Android is because of the backbone of Netflix streaming, which is M$ Silverlight

Its not netflix - its pressure from hollywood and the studio execs for both the lack of streaming titles and the android app/"drm" concerns. And let's not forget that apple has their tentacles deep in hollywood cuz of their involvement with pixar and apple tv (jobs was the ceo of pixar).
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Yeah, that sounds about right about the lack of complete library streams. Other the other matter, I'm sure ports will be on the way. The only issue I foresee is linking the account to the device if its ported. Might be a pain to get the port properly to avoid that issue...

I'd greatly appreciate a netflix app for my g2. I'm jealous of the iphones netflix app. -__-

I am personally inclined to believe it has more to do with Apple's influence/blackmail than the pirating issue. It seems far fetched that someone would resort to a phone stream to pirate movies or shows.

[Q] Verizon NFL Live App

ive been searching for a while and i cannot find any posts from this year .....all i want to know is it still possible to get the verizon app to work on the sprint phones like it was last year ? if you have any info on this please share the info.

Is not possible! The loop hole that was used to get the Verizon NFL app to work on Sprint was sealed off and ever since then, is been a NO NO.......
Not to start an entire thread about the NFL lockout BUT I don't think there'll be any football this year anyways.....you should try to find an arena football app..hahaha

i think there will be a season... but on that note if it is in fact not possible does anyone know a way to get nfl network....i cant get it where i live from cable ...thats the main reason i want the app

Well that's the thing dude.....if someone was to crack the NFL Network app on Verizon, you still need the Vcast subscription that's required to watch streaming games and I don't think there's anyway to get around that without committing fraud or breaking some sort of rule which could either get you ban from XDA or possibly fine by Verizon or some crap.......
Why don't you just try to catch games via J Player?? It works wonders if you're on WiFi......3G is still good but a bit choppy at times
http://www.appbrain.com/app/j-player/com.jtv.player

or you can get a sling box and a sling box app for your evo. works great a little bit in the on the pricey side, but worth it if there is football.

Doesn't sling box require you to have some sort of service through them or something like that????
I mean if it costs more than 100 dollars, the best bet is to take your butt to a sports bar and just watch the game there...hahahaha

got sling box but still no nfl network on my cable box.....

looks like ill have to live without the network this year .... but thanks for the tips there is always atdhenet.tv ..ill figure it out

Mine can't even normally play Angry Birds

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z_PcEW8Jxs

U complained that ur phone was choppy when u hard booted it and now with angry birds. U need to take ur phone back! I've been playing r-type non-stop and it has no lag or choppiness and that game has more active things on screen at once more then angry birds, it plays so beautifully on this phone!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

I haven't tried angry birds yet, but my home button is laggy like that... I haven't hard reset the phone though...

I just tried Angry Birds and it seems to play well. It doesn't have the zip at the beginning of a stage like the other phone had in your example, but it feels normal to me.
The home button "lag" is present on mine but that feels normal as well.
Is anyone using another launcher? Is the lag present with the home button? I'm still using touchwiz.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

I'm using Launcher Pro and that is really fast. Still a little lag when opening apps like Gmail and stuff like that but getting around the phone is still really fast. And opening the gallery is really fast too.
Try Launcher pro its fast! Plus you can still use the samsung widgets.
Hope this helps!

Same here I'm running adw ex and I experience virtually no lag

I think most are trolls. I play angry birds fine. I hope people know because it's a different processor they automatically look for problems. The exynos processor is only excels in its gpu department. My rooted my touch 4g on miui doesn't even lag. Launcher pro hasn't been updated since gingerbread causing lag of app drawer and when accessing apps. The reason why home button lags is because samsung set so many combinations for the home button. It was most likely programmed bad.

Bingo! That's why I sold my iPhone 4 last year and bought myTouch 4g... This is what we Apple spies do. We also get ****ed over flawless G2X phones that have no lag and play Angry Birds just fine. And than we wait for October 10th to pre-order an amazing Galaxy S II just for one simple reason: sabotage it!

This is my second phone. The first one was a bit less laggy but was heavily affected by vertical lines. I'm not sure if I want to play this game (think G2X).

I think if you do go in to exchange it again explain the situation and then in store test it out for lag. Better yet if you know anyone that has the phone without this issue bring them along to have backup proof. It shouldn't lag like that, I'm testing out Rio just for you right now and it's smooth and flawless. Is there a way to check the processor speed (actual)? Because I have noticed worse battery life than a lot of other users, maybe it's running at a higher clock speed (or the actual rated one) and yours isn't? I know this sounds crazy but maybe it would be worth it to just check... I'm just trying to help you out

As I mentioned earlier TMo is great at exchanging new phones: no questions asked. It'not about that.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

Well I tried angry birds and it's super zippy... MUCH faster than my Desire ever was ; )
After doing some looking it seems the home button lag is due to the phone waiting a bit for a double-tap on the home key to start the voice command app.... so it's working as intended.

I'm still wondering why out of all three carriers this particular version was inside of a plexiglass box during their presentation at the end of August...

if the root process is available for the vzw galaxy nexus by the time i get home, i will root it instantly. like you said, google wallet is the biggest reason followed by the fact i need to tether. google wallet isn't unsecure, i use it on my nexus s daily and wouldn't give it up for the world.

all you phone junkies should play with your phone at least a week or so stock. just in case there are any hardware problems. methinks with all the people "renting" phones and the nexus having a high profile for modding i wouldn't chance voiding the warranty straight out of the box.

i dont need to use google wallet,i think root is better.

Ya google wallet is a musy have in my opinion, and i heard the.rooting process was easy

That is an extrmely good point. I left part of me behind when I left my 3vo, and this is the first thing that came to mind when I get home with it from work tomorrow. Not now. Def gonna leave it the way it is for a week or so.....but we'll have to see how that goes haha

The big security flaw is using your phone on ANY cell phone service. They track who you call, how long your calls are, who you txt, what the txt is, what cell towers you're connected to, when you pay your bill, with what credit card or check, also your name, address, oh and they know your phone number!

I plan to use a lot of time exploring the phone on stock for about 10 days and then root.

Won't be rooting, see no need for it.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

i rooted mine on the first day, mostly becouse i want a recovery backup on the stock rom from day 1 with clockwork recovery.

I guess there is some consumer appeal, but really, why buy a Nexus if you have no interest in an unlocked phone? My decision to buy a Nexus was far less about firmware updates than it was about my right to own the hardware that I paid for.
To be honest, I didn't read the thread (shame on me), but these topics puzzle me. To each his own.

Google Wallet has some security risks in general for any device. Recently read the following from droidforums..... http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...s-news+(DroidForums.net+News+::+Android+News)

I'll root when CM9 hits beta or if a good stable nightly.

Yes, but so far only to be able to restore app data (ie Angry Birds) from my old phone. I'm totally cool with the built-in ICS disable/freeze feature for the apps I don't want, I think that's an extremely fair compromise over rooting and deleting the apk/so files.
Not too concerned about Wallet yet, we'll see how that pans out if it's something we'll need to root for or just something we can head to the Market and install without any issue. I would like to try it out and have zero confidence that the competing ISIS thing won't completely suck in comparison, so if root is needed, root it is!

If you want a private conversation phones are not the way to go. Back in the day we had to hard tap your line for LE with warrant. Now with CALEA and digital switches they can monitor traffic anywhere anytime w/o warrant.
Sometimes we put lines on speaker all day to monitor for noise. If your neighbor had wet line issue or cross talk we might monitor your line for noise. I worked in a 900 number telephone switch in California we have to check lines for "traffic" or people talking before working on them. It was awkward. Now I can monitor phone calls from my computer. Of coarse I don't unless it is for work I don't want to end up in Guantanamo.
Wow how off topic WTF happened?

Sirius-XM radio app terminates

The Sirius XM app seems to always kill itself when another app launches. Is there a way to change the priority of the app, so the system doesn't pick it as the first app to close? Asking Sirius is like asking a brick wall, plus they are probably working on the 2.0 app now and won't make changes to the legacy app.
Thanks!

I have the same problem and it drives me insane. Did this on my sgsII as well. Very annoying

From my experience that is one of the poorest designed and functioning apps I have ever used. They need to scrap it and start over.

They surely do need some rework on the app. Mine also gets bumped from memory quite easily. Just waiting for 2.0 now.

My work phone is an iphone but I have limited data I can use on it. I've messed around with 2.0 and the rewind and fast forward are great. Is there news as to when we can expect 2.0 to come to Android? I usually flip between Pandora and Sirius while driving.

The SiriusXM app has worked like this from the start. On my Evo always had this problem, and now same thing with the Nexus. The early rumor on the 2.0 app was that it would take about 4-6 months after the iphone version. (They are just terribly slow at providing updates esp to the android version)

Considering they barely support their radios anymore, you would think they would sink more development $$$ into their mobile apps.
I'm not a very happy subscriber.

I called to complain when my renewal was up, got the year for half price and free internet. I also heard the 6 month rumor for the new Android version.
