Anyone here rooted and or with a custom ROM able to get Netflix to play at 1080p? Mine won't. Don't know of its because of root, deodex, not stock, slow internet, etc. Anyone able to chime in?

The most I've gotten is 720p, but I've read in the CleanRom thread that Hulu will play 1080p. The problem is either Netflix or your internet speed.

How can you tell if its playing in 720 or 1080 p? I just played the expendables 2 and it looks very good but I don't see where it said what quality.
So here is what I can tell you, you have video quality settings in your account on Netflix. Set that to best, then you have to have a high speed internet, even at that apparently to get HD your ISP has to have signed with Netflix for Netflix to stream it.
I noticed that my Google play movies will not play in HD on anything but the stock ROM. I can be rooted and get HD but not on a custom rom. Cleanrom won't even work. This is weird to me.

Netflix will range from low quality to HD to 1080p(if supported). 1080p on a 7" tab is overkill and much more bandwidth intensive. It would be skipping all over unless you have an almost flawless connection.

Netflix has been updated to work flawlessly on JB 4.3 !
Just update it
Does anyone know what shows/movie support 1080p right now?

Hi everyone,
I'm currently running CM9 unofficial and I can't seem to find a way to watch 21 Jump Street on my phone. I have tried Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, but it doesn't help. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Downgrade to GB, ICS has streaming video problems, so Netflix doesn't work either.
May be mistaken, but idk

Google blocks watching Play movies on rooted devices, or at least used to. I was able to watch on my rooted Transformer TF101 for a while, but can't tell you why.

You are correct,ICS/CM9 doesnt stream movies correctly,something to do with the flash player not being compatible for our phones.
it seems like I can't stream anything in HD. is there a setting for this? Both YouTube and Netflix apps streams in 360 or 480p even when HD button is on. it's kind of annoying when I know I can get better picture than that. What's the purpose of having a nice screen when you can only stream in this resolution? is there a way to force these to stream in 720p? or at least an apk that will work on Galaxy Note II. i've found some but it doesn't work on my NII. thanks.

For youtube you can go to settings but I think its HQ and for you to see videos you have to make sure whatever video you choose to watch is a HD video that way when it starts you can select the HD option button remember on youtube you have to hope that the uploader had recorded their videos in HD also. Now for netflix it shows on its own since I have lte I really never tried to see if their was an option for HD in the settings.

both of them shows pixelation even both the Netflix shows I watch and YouTube channels in am subscribed to is both available in HD. I cannot express how much I hate this.
I see you use Sprint version. have you tried comparing it side by side a laptop or desktop if they are the same? I tried comparing them and note II was inferior of the three, but when I run a video I have on my sd card it looks crisp.

I tried it again and worked like magic. it's finally streaming true HD! now we just need netflix. I tried some already but all of them won't work. It force closes on me. tyvm

mine didn't. It seems like it's not just me. There's a huge difference between the modded apk linked above than the one on play store. no pixelation and discoloration on the new apk. crisp and clear just like how it looks like on a laptop. but now it eats a lot more data which is fine since I have unlimited 4g nationwide. I guess I see why the official one doesn't offer true HD. ^^.
I hope somebody do something like that for netflix. I've searched but no one has a working apk on Samsung devices. :/

Download Tube mate (Google It) you can stream or download 1080P,720P,480P,360P HD videos on 3G/4G/LTE or WiFi. Works great for me. Also there's a modded Netflix APK that supports 720P. Google it as well. I don't like posting links because they may be considered as spam.

Simple question. Have anyone else ever noticed that when using 4G network that the quality of their video is significantly lower than that of the Wifi? Our phones are made for handling full HD so why not give it to us at all times unless we ask to get HQ and Not HD? seems a little silly to me. Not thay much of a bother but I'd just like to see my videos in full HD whenever I'm on the go.

Check your youtube app settings. If you want it to load in high quality when on a mobile data network you have to explicitly tell it to do that.
No no I understand that. But watch a video in HQ on YouTube.. Then connect to wifi and watch it in HD. There's a good deal difference in quality. At least to me anyway

You have to use the modded YouTube version by theo0so. That's the only way.

Yeah there's a modded youtube floating around that allows you to watch in HD over 4g. Personally I don't see much of a difference between HD and HQ.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 2
When on 4g the highest is going to be HQ. But when you're on wifi or LTE It's HD. Or as mentioned you can use the modded YouTube app to always have it on HD regardless of connection.

Ahh! Thanks for the information all of you! I saw a slight decrease in resolution in the videos between HQ and HD and for some reason it bothered me. I'll be downloading this app immediately! Thanks!
I know about the hacked apk for Netflix that was released a while back but it either does or doesn't. Is there a way to tell if something is playing at 720 or 1080.. Been trying to hack YouTube to 1080 but seems the developers for both are missing in action as the apks are months out dated.. Wanna use the screen for its full 1080p potential

i dont know if you see the difference, but for sure when you hit the airplay on chromecast they will play 1080p is the movie is available on HD.
also, make sure you have the highest setting on your netflix account
I mean it's clear and good looking but I'm looking hard at it and it's not crispy like the tv.. And yes the shows I'm looking at I know for sure are super hd aka 1080 format, signal isn't a issue as I'm pulling 30mbit down on the phone, just wondered if it's 720 or actually 1080

Is there anyway to watch Netflix in HD on this tablet? It has a great Hi-Res display but when using Netflix I'm stuck with 480p which looks awful.
Have you tried watching it on desktop to see if there is an HD version? I felt that Netflix selects based on Internet speed..

I can get HD through my PS4 no problem, and it looks great. My download speed is about 19Mb so it is more than capable of doing HD.
Maybe check with Netflix support team?
