When will the Netflix app for the galaxy nexus support HD streaming? This would common sense since the.nexus has an HD screen.
Thanks

Well, there was a Netflix apk floating around (search is your friend) from the Droid Razr, however the app doesn't seem to play nice with 4.0.3+ at the moment. If you are running a 4.0.2 rom or lower, you can use that. Otherwise, we have to wait for someone to mod the HD apk to work with 4.0.3+ ROMs or for Netflix to update their own app. Also, the Droid RAZR apk doesn't go full screen either.
Netflix doesn't seem very high definition even when streamed over wifi on my laptop or monitor. You're not missing much.

lol HD video on a mobile phone why?? Average 720p is about 2-3gb no thanks waste of bandwidth. You won't see all those details anyway unless you're a show off ....

Because some of us have unlimited data plans still, and IMHO HD videos on this phone actually DO look really solid, depending on the source of course. Then again, I'm also just a huge show off
i'm not sure what you mean, mattskeet. watching youtube on HD vs SD is apples and oranges on the nexus. I could happily watch a 90 minute HD movie on nexus screen
Netflix and gameloft have crappy methods of showing support rather then just throwing the APK out there in the market.

Netflix has the potential to have great image quality. My Apple TVs and PS3s allow for 1080p video and 5.1 audio.
Netflix only allows HD on devices with locked boot loaders afaik. Nook tablet has HD as well.

netflix's hd quality is amazing on my computer too, if its bad quality its cause the connection is too slow. you need about 15-20mb/s to get the best quality.
is there any update on this? just saw the new netflix on the play store but it still doesnt have 702p. does the hacked apk work for 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 yet?

That is not true, there is zero difference in Netflix quality on a GN with a locked bootloader vs. and unlocked one.

This is also not true, you don't need anywhere near that bandwidth to get great quality.
You need 8Mbps for 1080p video with 5.1 Dolby Digital Plus audio.
Regardless, I get 25Mbps on my home connection and my phone, Apple TV, and PS3s are all connected to the same network, so that rules out network conditions.
I remember reading somewhere that it is a software limitation and the Razr got a special version to showcase the HDMI 720p streaming out on the device.
When I had my RAZR HD Netflix looked amazing. You can see so many details especially facial details. Skintone, facial stubble etc. Would be nice to have on the Nexus since it has a HD display. GG unlimited data .

Good video man...that just confirm that our Nexus is a bad ass phone lol...
Damn just finished reading the comments and its not running on max settings like it does on the Nexus 7.but on the N7 its not smooth as the N4 is.I think the N4 could run on max settings while still running this smooth.
Graphics
Anyone got any idea how to enable the max graphics? I don't even have the game yet, but I'm POSITIVE the Nexus 4 can handle full graphics at above 30 FPS. It's GPU is nearly 3x more powerful than the Tegra 3 one.
Can't wait till more people purchase it for multiplayer. I can't wait to pick up a controller and get it to work with this game. I haven't played it much, but so far its good.

Chainfire 3D is the only way as far as I know... unfortunately Gameloft is terrible at optimizing their games, the N7 runs at full effects even though it has a GPU less than half as powerful as the N4.

It's not compatible with 4.0 or Jelly Bean according to the description of the app.
I just tested Chainfire 3D (granted, on a different device, but that should not make a difference) and it did not enable the higher effects (as it didn't with MC3, either, and both are developed by Gameloft Montreal, I suppose this makes sense). So... there's no real way to enable the high graphics.
Gameloft disabled the effects for a reason... they don't know how to optimize their stuff for most GPUs, so with all effects enabled, I bet it lagged in their testing.
could you guys not just change the model in the build prop on the nexus 4 to that of nexus 7 ?
Does anyone know if the deviceconfig.xml trick works for MC4?
Anyone know if I should get the moga control or ps3 one? I already bought the six axis app a while back.. Any suggestions? Thanks

Chances are this particular model will not let you use AllShareCast (Wi-Di, Miracast, whateveryouwannacallit) with your Samsung device (I believe this model only lets you connect to the internet for their pre-loaded apps like Netflix; thus making it a so-called "Smart TV"). From what I know, Samsung only has the F series above the 7000 model (not FH) as their Wi-Di line (as stated earlier by someone). FH is probably their super affordable, bare-bones-super-cheap-so-they-can-sell-it-on-black-Friday-and-you-will-never-see-this-model-again-unless-it-is-out-of-Ebay-or-some-dude's-van model.

I got it...That TV wasn't on their website last friday.
I have the UN40f5500 and Note 2 Running the New DN3 ROM (Note 3) and been testing out the ROM. So far all features are working on Both TV and Phone. SkyNote. Mirror wouldn't for me. My opinion is I'll probably never buy anything but a Samsung phone and TV for some time.
As stated above their is so many awsome thing they do hand in hand. Almost to the point that one won't need a pc unless your a DEV.
I would/ have recomended to friends and family.
PURE SWEETNESS
Got the tv and love it.. But TouchWiz is getting a bit old and laggy. Thinking of switching back to an aosp rom.

From what I understand, miracast in general kind of sucks because of the poor standardization across brands/devices. I have a lenovo laptop, and I'm hoping the dongle I ordered will work with the laptop's widi feature, as well as my moto x and nexus 7. :fingers-crossed:

yeah thats mostly true but i've used the rocketfish with nexus 7 1st gen (modded to work) nexus 7 FHD, galaxy s3, galaxy s4, and moto x and only had issues with moto x on 5ghz
I just got a Netgear PTV3000 in the mail yesterday, it works well with the Moto X.
Have not had a chance to put it through the paces but was able to briefly test it out on a 32" 720p HDTV.
Screen mirroring looked sharp enough, also tried Netflix and it looked decent but not as "HD" as I would expect, not sure if it was Netflix bandwidth or Miracast itself being the limiting factor. I'll load VLC on the phone this weekend and try playing a local HD file to see what it looks like.
Got the Lenovo WD100 today. Works well with both my moto x and nexus 7. Ironically does not work with my lenovo win 7 laptop... go figure.
