Is there an HD Netflix app for our phone?

If you go to the website under your settings you can change the quality level.

Quality is usually adjusted on the fly but being a phone that in portrait only has 480 lines of resolution I wouldn't expect it to offer streaming 720P plus anyways. Watching on Wifi or good 4G should come up great but bad connections and 3g it will come out overly compressed.
Resolution is one issue and bitrate is another. The bitrate is adjusted based on connection speed to prevent buffering.

You probably won't on such a small screen but its the only solution that I can give to the question. Our screens aren't even HD anyway.

Using tubemate I can notice the difference between 480 all the way to 1080 easily and even on he fastest wifi there's no difference between the settings in android app
A big difference in ps3 app tho
I wish ps3 and android Alps had very own settings for quality like hulu plus apps do

Agreed. I think that netflix looks great on our screen considering the size. Definitely have to stream over wifi, sprint just isn't fast enough otherwise. Perhaps going over 3g is leading to poor display quality

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.

Mine is straight from the market and shows in HD on my phone. It looks really good.
Are you on CM9?

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!

Anybody use it? Is it really even necessary? The only app I've used it with is the speedtest. Just curious to know how others have used it.

I've only used it with speedtest as well.

Used it only for speed test also. I guess only for apps that don't run at the same aspect ratio as us. Which most will. Or resolution.
Where can I change the aspect ratio on certain apps?

I forgot that our phones had that option. Now that you brought it up, I just enabled it for a music sight reading app that I downloaded the other day. thanks!

Anyone know how to add an app...or how long it takes to show up in the list to adjust the ratio?
I just installed an app that needs adjusted and it is not listed.
Aspect Ratio Correction Apps
On my Verizon LG G2 when I tap on the Aspect Ratio Correction , it takes me to a screen where the apps are listed and I can check the ones I want . But I haven't checked any .
Im just asking if anyone uses the screen mode settings or if anyone uses the natural setting? Im using the naturl setting and reminds me of my iphone screen but bigger and better

Movie is the most accurate visually. I couldn't handle the difference Movie made when I was used to Standard so I had to gradually get to Movie mode by using Natural as a stepping stone. Now im using movie mode and know i'm getting the most accurate intended colors. I can't ever imagine using the oversaturated standard mode. Now we have the best color reproduction / best contrast in amoled.

I find that natural is the best for me.
I edit photos on my calibrated desktop monitor. When I view those photos on my phone, natural gives the most similar colors and contrast compared to my calibrated desktop monitor (I calibrate it every 15 days or so with a spyder).

u sure? I also have spyder calibrator. but I hear that from OFFICIAL tests, movie gives most accurate colors.(out of any phone available apple or non,) maybe youre comp monitor is not calibrated correctly?
I was messing around with the slow motion camera on the htc one and it its a pretty cool feature. But how does it compare to the iphone 5s? obviously its going to be different because the iphone 5s has a 12Mp camera (I think at least) but how many frames a second does the htc one shoot when its in slow motion mode. you can set the speed to 1/4 normal speed so I would think that would make it 120 frames a second or does it only shoot at 60 frames a second and then just slow it down more to appear 1/4 the speed in real life?

I think they both shoot 120fps slow motion
They both shoot at 120fps, but the iPhone 5s does it at 1080p while the HTC one brings down the resolution to 768 by 432

Click the menu in the camera app and go to video capture mode or whatever and there's a couple of options. Btw I'm loving that splash screen you had done.
Me to ! Fader is awesome !

i am not an iphone person but i have to say the 5s slow motion is bad ass . you take a video and then you can edit it in such a way that just a portion of the video is slow motion (or the whole thing). my buddy took a video of his friend playing golf . and then made it so the swing was slow motion . holy s&^%. the sound was awesome in slow motion and the video was awesome quality . got to give props where props are do . good job on this one apple .
Any way to bump up slow motion to at least 720p?

I totally agree. Slow motion video on the 5s is amazing. I can live with the lack of sound on the One's slo—mo, but the quality is not that great. It would be great to see the resolution bumped up to 720p.
