G2 is one of the first Android devices to get Netflix. Available NOW!

Just read over at Lifehacker that Netflix is available for 5 Android devices as of today and the g2 is one of them. Supposedly available in the App Market but I am failing to find it. Not that I'd use it a bunch but it adds value to that $9 / month. Besides bored at the dr office or what not just throw on a movie.
Android coming to select Android devices

App works like a charm..finally! I found it in the epic 4G forum. I would post but don't think its possible with the mobile app

Finally found it after digging through the Netflix website. Installed but after it launches I attempt to start a movie and it trys to play and then just goes back to the main menu. No error or anything. WTF. Netflix states its only supported on G2s with 2.2 and I'm running cm7 2.3 so maybe that's the problem.

They say 2.2 because officially the gb update isn't available for g2. But I'm running the stock leak gb from tmo and works great. Works great on my original stock 2.2 nandroid as well.

I have the same problem on a G2 running Virtuous (Sense). I assumed it was Sense but perhaps not since you have the same problem with CM7. It runs just fine on a stock G2 (wife's phone.)

Netflix works on Galaxy S 2.3.4 (MIUI)

There is the apk download!
(I am also in canada and it works here)

This app doesn't seem to work on my Bell Galaxy S, running CyanogenMod7 2.3.4.
Gives me and error message: Netflix is not supported on this device. Please check the Netflix website for a list of supported devices.

Weird? Maybe it just works on MIUI 2.3.4?

I am also able to stream Netflix fine on my i9000M running MIUI 2.3.4

[Q] Problem with flash videos in browser

Hi
Whenever i try playing a flash video in the browser (or in skyfire), after i press the play button, the progress bar is moving, i get the audio, but there's no video - the video area remains black.
I'm experiencing this for about 2 months now, in which i switched ROMs (iceandfire, cyanogen), updated the flash player several times, updated skyfire several times (it happens both in skyfire and stock browser), cleared cache of those 3 apps, cleared data, tried to uninstall and reinstall...
nothing helps...
Any ideas?
Thanks
Edit: found a similar thread at cyanogonmod forums:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/..._hl__+black++video__fromsearch__1#entry194047
I'll keep an eye on it over there. I''ld delete this post if I knew how...

I also had this problem, then I downloaded the 10.2.idontknow and it worked again!

i am using the cm 7.0.3 and adobe flashplayer 10.3. seems no problem. i did not do any extra setting. so give it a try.

I have a similar issue. Mine will play fine in the browser, but when I open the video in Youtube after starting a video in the browser, it will start to play, but only audio plays - no video. I am currently using a stock, non-rooted G2. I didn't have this
problem with my last G2 running CM7 though...

I have the same issue. However my YouTube app works fine. An interesting point is videos that automatically open in full screen from the browser work. I'm on cm7.0.3 with the latest flash.
I used to be able to resolve the issue with an older version of flash but now when I do that YouTube gripes that I must update flash player.

Wow I must be lucky, because I've never experience this issue. And I watch youtube dailymotion on the browser and never had this issue
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA Premium App

I've had the black screen of death too. Only audio on random embedded videos. Like worldstarhiphop.com for instance. I'll try a fresh rom install and see if that works if no fixed is found in this thread. It's the only thing hindering CM7 based roms.

from the cyanogenmod forums (the link i posted in my first post):
@dewd write:
"Yes. I did 2 things to make it work.
1. I updated to the latest version of Flash in the market (10.3.185.22).
2. I used ROM Manager to "Fix Permissions" (and rebooted).
After these steps I was able to watch Flash movies.
This did not fix Netflix, It plays movies with sound, but no picture. "
it worked for me, took a couple of minutes to fix permissions but then i was able to see flash videos again.
i checked it only in 1 website though...

I have same problem...

Apparently the fix permissions method didn't work...
So I tried what @Tommebaas recommended, and downloaded an old 10.2 version of Adobe Flash Player.
It worked! thanks @Tommebaas
Here's a link to the version that did the trick for me:

10.3 is better and runs flash that 10.2 can't, so that's not really a fix if I downgrade.

What does 10.3 run, that 10.2 can't? I don't view a whole bunch of sites with Flash. But for what I have viewed, I've never had an issue as far back as 10.1. It seems like a lot of the recent updates have had more to do with tablets (and very minor performance enhancements) than anything else.

I moved Flash to SD and it works for me now.

the 10.2 install fixed it for me, idk what is suppose to be special about 10.3 but um if it doesnt work its not better than 10.2 so yeah.

MODS..searched and searched and no answer so if theres another thread with same question then just merge or delete actually the only other thread i found hasnt had a response since july and its almost end of sept.. so

Check out fring

I have never had an enjoyable experience with video chat on froyo. That's the only thing the gingerbread leaks can do better. That said on gingerbread:
Oovoo sucks
Fring sucks
Qik sucks
Modded galaxy skype is good
Gtalk video chati hear is good
However I have no 4g whatsoever so this is all on 3g
Hope this helps

Before searching , is Tango available for Free and on the market ?

Have to agree, and Tango is multi-platform, so works for iPhone users too...

I wouldn't put any of the leaks on her phone. Stick with an ec05 build they're solid. As far as a video chat app Im not sure of one for froyo. I think Skype only allows voice chat for froyo builds, don't quote me on that though.

skype only works with gb (personally tested it) skype will NOT allow you to video chat with froyo.
it will even provide this statment when you first startup the skype app.
just go to the market and in the search box type "video chat for android" and it will give you all the apps. the only one that i like is skype. it was the only one that worked smooth for me.
SORRY! I COULDN'T POST THE APP LINK PAGE FOR YOU.

Tango works well on wifi/4g. It auto-searches your contacts and creates a list of who else has it.
That's what I use

Your Skype is working. Do you have icons for Video on it? I've had it before but after upgrade they disappeared.

I've got GTalk, but it doesn't seem to want to let me use video. My girlfriend is always on GTalk and I would kill to be able to show her what the hell I'm talking about when I'm shopping and I need her to tell me which item to throw in the cart.
I'm on a GB ROM, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
PS: To anyone wondering why only certain programs can do video chat on Froyo, it's because GB includes an APK that allows the OS to grab video from the FFC and provide it to the application asking for it. On Froyo, the app has to be written specifically to be compatible with the device to use the FFC.

Shadowgun

Does anyone confirm shadowgun work on our device?

Take a look at this thread:

It seems as if there is mixed success getting it to run.

Works fine for me.

Is that really work? Coz mine kept crashed everytime I tried to load the game.. what game version are you using?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

1.1.0 using elite kernel and a nightly Kang of cm7.2.0

Mine works great also. Using latest version of shadow gun. The second mission (add on crashes rarely) while regular never crashes. I recommend running CM7 Nightlies based rom and OCing to 1.5ghz. Also, running v6 supercharger or ram manager will help it run VERY smoothly. Good luck!

Works good for me, worthy for a shot

Damn!! I'm on sense rom.. no wonder I can't load it.. should go back to cm7 then..

I have the last version 1.1.0, it cannot download the data files, always says "Error"

on stock rom: works fine
have to check on andromadus v12 this weekend

Had to wipe to d/l the data lol never worried about putting apps to the mSD card but now I suppose I will. It works though.
