Netflix working for anyone on ICS?

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

nope it just sets at the screen when it should be playing. Boy does that suck.

Ditto. Sometimes sound plays; but muffled. Awesome Rom though, loving it otherwise.

Huge downgrade for something that's in alpha stage to not be working perfectly?

Netflix upgraded to work with android 4.x back in december with the galaxy nexus release. Like other people who saying I think it's more to do with the actual rom than anything else. I'm sure with the next series releases these minor compatibility issues will be fixed.
Its netflix now but what else isn't working? There are programs other people use on a daily basis not seen at the moment with the current developers and testers using this beta style rom. We are not status quo. There's only a few people using calk's fb17 release at the moment...100 max I am willing to gamble.
The real question is what else isn't working? What other programs like netflix are not running correctly on this version of ice cream sandwich. Maybe there's an off chance that we can isolate the problems similar to what's going on with netflix and other programs and somehow cross check them together with other programs/APKs to find some related issue and tackle it from there.
Until then, like others, I'm gonna stay back on a regular android 3.x rom and work from here because I can't make it through my work night without netflix. It's too damn boring here at usps. 2 hours of work and 6 hours of downtime makes kevin a dull boy. here's hoping an even more stable release is put out so that we can have basic yet minor things like netflix back. Even though it may not seem that important to some other joe schmo across the internet at least a few of us actually desire something like netflix so I wouldn't judge too much.
Oh and by the way, I think this is working with my fb15 version last night so who knows maybe its just some issue isolated to the fb17 rom. I would check but I'm not at home. I really don't feel like temporarily breaking my phone for the evening. If someone wants to check to make sure you could try to flash the old fb15 release and see how netflix runs on that...or if it runs at all.

Like every other release for any OS, software patchwork needs to be done. What is truly exciting about ICS is that Google is requiring manufacturers not to mess with the base of the OS. Which means developers update once and it should be compatible with all. Its exciting mainly because some cool devs for ios have been holding back due to android manufacturers messing around. Now they should easly convert to android.

Quick question, and I'm not sure if it matters or not but how did you go about flashing calks rom? I can think of 3 or 4 different ways I can go about getting everything installed with this fb17 rom. I'm trying to figure out the difference between what you did what I did and how I can possibly get this to work for my phone. last time I installed it on a freshly flashed cwm as well as the fb15 modem. Then I even reverted back to stock el29 modem and rom, then installed calks rooted and deodexed fb17 rom keeping the el29 modem (doubt it matters much which modem I had). just wanted see if you did nothing there for different...or...something
Edit: Dang speak and spell screwed up everything...lol

I know this has been asked over and over again!

I have a SGS2 Epic Touch 4G.
I need my phone for my business, I’m a computer hack well I don’t do that for a living or maybe I do..lol!
I need a stable ROM were almost everything works, I need to tether my laptop to my phone so I can VPN to my clients (I do have PDANET which I bought and works just fine for me).
I need the phone for eMail, messaging and oh yeah phone calls to work all the time.
I love tweaks just like the rest of you the more the better!
I just flashed Calkulin’s ICS 1.6 which seems very stable after 3 days but lacks tweaks.
So after this long intro which build do you think would be best for me?

I wonder if you can install kobridge's tweaks on Calkulin's ROM. You might check out his thread, it could be what you're looking for.

I did a whole thing on this issue back when I first bought this phone last september. If you have a headset that has a button to pause music and answer the phone then its a well maybe not a big thing but it is a thing that always bugged me! Thanks for the reply!

Blu Kuban is what all the cool kids use, and it's super versatile. It's really stable, customizable and has built in tweaks. Rujelus22 constantly updates it so that it's running in top form. Could be just what you're looking for.

+1 on the Goodness. I'm a big fan of Mijjahz and Team Nocturnal in general. I'm running the Blend ICS 4.0.4 FF18 right now, and its amazing. Highly suggestable. Don't know why I didn't mention it sooner.

Thanks for all the replies! I'm pretty happy with Calkulins.e4gt.2.rom.v1.6. It seems very stable and so far everything works plus after a few charges the battery life is pretty good. I installed Apex Launcher and it tweaks everything!:victory:

You can't go wrong with Calkulin's work losing him to another phone/carrier was a real loss for the E4GT community.

read the cm9 thread in the dev section, does everything you use on your phone work? it'll probably work as a daily then... if so are there posts from people saying its caused their phone to explode, molest their pets, go on strike, become sentient??? no? ok, then flash it, its cyanogenmod dude, it doesn't differ that much from device to device, that's kind of the point of it...

CM9 is good for daily use
I used CM9 for my daily use since alpha 3 launched. It will definitely work for your daily use. I never had any serious issues. It runs greats, my battery life with the proper settings was great. I know i used to have trouble with chrome but I think that's a thing of the past.I ended up using opera, so I never checked to see if chrome worked again or not. However, chrome is working fine on the AOKP milestone 6 Rom, so I would assume it works.
Only other thing I would say is like the other guys said, try a bunch of different Roms till you find what you like. All the devs have done a great job and as long as you have the skills to flash between different Roms I would highly recommend giving any Rom that you think looks interesting a spin for a day or so until you find your favorites.

FF18 very .... uhh?

Am I the only one whom finds mostly all FF18 builds unresponsive at times? The touch keys don't work randomly... on the latest ota and the leak? Is this kernel related? I hope so.... I find myself constantly trying to find the right one buy no luck... this is perhaps a useless thread but I feel as if this ICS for phone is not even worth it at times

I've had this on both stock and AOSP. I know my way around rooms and completely wipe before every flash even. its been happening to me since the early FF** kernel based builds. Frankly I think Samsung could have worked longer on this but something tells me it was rushed at the end.

Was mostly just flippin $#!t
Ive just been lucky I guess.. Ive got a big lib folder I carry around with me...
Any little problem Ive gotten has been easily remedied, and Ive never once had the weird problems that some get no matter what.
Maybe because mine was assembled in the states? Idk...
I do know that Placebo, placebo you want.. Worst case the flash doesnt take and you have to flash a backuo...
Most likely youll say, "this is a stock kernel?!"

Fixed for ya.
Agree 100% though.

Sorry to say this but I'm running my super nova rom and haven't had any problems what so ever. Nothing looked what you're describing at all. Any chance the phone is having a hardware factory issue since so many others have experienced the same thing?

No its definitely an ICS issue on certain devices. As it doesn't happen on Gingerbread roms based at all. Ive noticed certain users complain about the issue, maybe its different hardware models? Ill wait a bit to see what the developers cook up.... I'll give your super Nova ROM a try.. once all that fails I'll go get a device exchange LOL

Who said anything about insurance? I'm very good friends with the store manager. He always performs a device exchange as long as it hasnt had water damage. And no, I'm pretty sure the issues I'm having are real as pressing the power button and having the unlock screen process done but captive buttons not work for 5 seconds or more, isn't a bad flash. Even on shubs one click to FF18.
Btw check list done.... settings are always left stock. Phone seems okay unless I can surgicly open it to check on internals lol... ! Yes I'm okay myself.other than my messed up fist from a drunk fist fight.

I've had the same issue with most ICS E4GT roms, and doubt it is anything user related. Don't pay attention to the trolls. I've fully wiped my phone and it made no difference. Hopefully someone can figure it out. It's pretty annoying having to turn the screen on a off twice to get the capacitive buttons working.

You can if you use the latest agat kernel built from source but remember not all developers have built in the new safe kernel! So you would always have to odin the kernel if it isnt baked with the ROM.
For reference, here is the link to source built kernel.

Ok heres my input. I believe that its a combination of software and hardware. Remember response time of soft buttons depends on how stable the rom is and also whats running at the time they where pressed. Ok say like you have a few apps it the background running and you turn off your screen. Once the screen come on the buttons may take a second to come on because the screen has more of a priorty than the soft button. Its all in how you look at it. And with apps running it slows that process down greatly because a combination of the proccesor and ram being used. Remember not notice but our soft buttons have a back light and they are press sensitive. So with them working together plus all the other stuff i explained timing would be off. But think about it. Lol is it really a depressing ordeal lol. I actually witness it and continue on without even thinking about it. Sorry for rambling lol

Well it depends, most roms will be fine if they are <= the version of the current Samsung release, but if they are higher, than you can expect things like 4G and some other misc things not working because these things have to be built from source and its harder to get working when there is no foundation to work off of. Just a general tip for any Android phone
Sent from my PG06100

ROMs are very personal preference oriented. I could tell you that FreeGS3 is awesome, but you could find things that you don't like about it.
Everyone has their own preference.
The idea is to either find the one that you like JUST ABOUT everything in and everything that YOU do works in it and stick with it or eventually just make your own. I'm going to guess that you're not quite that informed on the topic of cooking ROMs. Don't take that the wrong way, I'm not saying you're incompetent in any way, just drawing the conclusion that if you were attuned to it, you'd probably not be asking here and already be making it the way you like Besides, it's no easy feat, I know.
So, instead of taking someone else's word... I would suggest simply getting a good Titanium Backup of your stuff and start swapping out ROMs here and there and just trying them out for a day or two, see how it works out.
If it's not quite what you want, just try another one.
Now if you care for my opinion, personally, I've found that FreeGS3 works for me because it has a nice mix of the Stock Look and Feel with all the extra added feature sets.

I recommend team shotgun! The best rom it has all the Google apps stocked!
