[Q] Android Netflix App for A7?

Does anyone know if the new Android Netfix app will ever work on the A7? I installed it on my EVO and it is sweet! But the screen is TINY!

I don't count on it ever working,but I put playon on mine and it works pretty much perfectly.You can install it on your computer then you are basically steaming but you have Netflix, Hulu CBS,tbs comedycentral,syfy and the list goes on.You can try it out for a couple of weeks for free and then if you want to keep it they are pretty cheap and have several ways to subscribe,from monthly,yearly and even a one time payment for a lifetime subsciption.Anyway I got tired of waiting and got it on sell and haven't looked back.It is more than you can imagine and you can use it on PS3.Xbox,Wii,and several blueray players.Pretty much anything that is DLNP capable .
Anyway didn't mean to ramble but hope this helps.

There is a netflix app available without the checks and already signed. Most have said they can get it running in a gingerbread rom. I haven't been able to get it working on the A7's rom however.

I know that they won't allow it to run on devices that are rooted, but I think if you search the forums you'll find a modded apk that should run.

I tryed them all, they are a no go. Something in the A7 is missing to let it run, i can browse for movies but once i go to play them it just loops back to the browse screen

I have an archos tab and the cracked apk works great. But not for my A7

New 1.3 build 246 from market works flawlessly with streaming (on Elocitymod 1.42a at least).

Thanks,
I had installed the cracked version on my Evo4G and Evo3D, and it installed on the A7 but would never work.
I always ignored the "there is a newer version available" message until I read your post. Works like a charm now... Resolution seems like it sucks a little, but that may have just been the movie I tested with.

Just down loaded from Market. Install and logged in. It works great!!!

Works great!!!

I updated to this version and it works well. I've noticed that the resolution starts out bad but rapidly improves. I am really happy with this tablet now. It pretty much does most things I want it to do. Only thing left for me to conquer is moving apps 2 external SD.
Thanks to everyone that has helped develop the mode!

Just wanted to make sure everyone is aware that you can adjust the quality of your stream through netflix. Just head to your account page on netflix.com and towards the bottom is a link to adjust the quality.

I've be seaching for the Elocitymod 1.42a, but haven't been able to find it. Can anyone tell me where I can get it or send a link? Thanks

On my completly factory A7+ I got netflix working only through an account on amazon
Still can't find way for un modified A7+ to get HBO GO
more to point. I cant get netflix audio (or any audio) through hdmi on my ~5 yr old Insignia HD TV, is it possible adjusting stream quality will solve the no audio? I tried it on a new 55" Toshiba and audio/video work perfect (and wow, a 3' tall angry bird is cool)
This has been answerd in old threads as, "some tv's audio works, some don't"
Any new fixes?
Anyway to put screen to sleep while still streaming through hdmi?

broken touch pad :(

Hi all.
I have just gone play dead space today and my analogue controls no longer work. I've tested on other games as well and making sure the touch analogues are set up in the controls and they are.
I'm guessing I'm going to have to send the phone back to Sony? :'(

Don't panic...did you download any apps recently? What were the last few things you downloaded before the touchpads stopped working? Some apps mess with the game pad that's why I'm asking.

you can use the touchpad tester to be 100% sure there broke the apk is in the themes and apps section just search or type touchpad tester in google

[Q] Games no compatible with ICS??

Is there some games that doesn't work with ICS? There are a few games that I bought that either freeze my phone(GTA3) or the game auto closes as soon as it gets into the actual game(Dungeon Defenders)
Also another think i just remembered. In TrialX2(Gas*I think*) and Blood and Glory(Dodge right) the O button brings up a option menu.

Anyone know?? I just spent like 30$ on games and some aren't working at all.

If you're asking if some games just don't work correctly on ICS like they should, then yes.
If circle is bringing up the options menu, that means that game isn't supporting the Xperia's gamepad, so it's trying to go "back" instead.

Well its Trial Xtreme 2 SE Xperia Play is the name of the game on the market.

Also they worked on 2.2.3(2.3.3?) whatever it ships with.

Google Play Store has that app isn't even compatible with my ICS Xperia Play, so maybe that tells you something. Not really sure though.

Being ICS is BETA.
Yes, there will be problems.
Go back to gingerbread if you want games.

[Q] Make Spotify think Note 2 is Tablet?

Hey all. Recently Spotify released an update for both the tablet -version and the mobile version. Now you can play music for free on the mobile version but the only catch is, you can only play you playlists in shuffle. On the tablet version, it plays like it would on the desktop version.
What I want to know is, is there possibly a way to make spotify think our Note 2 is a tablet. Only other alternative I can think of is to change the build.prop but that seems a bit of a hassle to change and restart everytime you want to listen to music.
I've searched and have found no threads about this so I may be the only one wondering this as people have probably just tethered their tablets to their phone and have just done it that way.

Only thing I can think of is doing something with xposed. But they don't have any modules that fool apps into thinking that you are running a different device. They had it for google wallet, to make it think you were running something else to get it to work on different devices that weren't supported.
What that same method apply for Spotify?

Check that tread I posted, it seems we need some real pro to look into this

Pre-installed games(? :) )

So, not in a long future I am going to buy Ouya android gaming console, cause I have found pretty great deal. But I heard that the "Ouya Store" is shutdown + most of Ouya titles are arcade-type of games...
So I have a big big big request, if you still have pre-installed games on your Xperia Play phone could you back them up for me to .apk format and kindly include the data (.obb file)?? <3 unfortunately I had sold my phone few years back and since it had playstation controlls I think it could run well on ouya (I hope this ain't against XDA forum rules)
Please, help me out <3 cause I would love to play some The Sims 3 or Bruce Lee or some since delete EA or Gameloft Games (like Nova or Dead Space ) on full screen.
p.s i have look over the internet for the xperia play version of the sims 3 (com.ea.thesims3 not the other one) and it is nowhere to be found so please help me out here.

I actually loathe all the built in games aside from Crash, but I can help you out here at least with The Sims, recently got a play from ebay with it installed. I'll try to download the other games too, I tried Crash out of curiosity the other day and it still worked.
Though I'm not sure they will work on any other device.
Will upload later today!

If you managed to get Crash working, could you upload the files for that? I'm talking about the .apk and .zpak files. I'm only asking you because I can't seem to get it working on my device (but then again I've got a custom ROM and unlocked bootloader...) and I'm not particularly keen on returning my phone entirely to stock for the possibility of maybe managing to download it myself.

You actually can take out the game apks from the firmwares, so actually dont need to reflashing many times of your device at all.
Though i've some question to ask. Im own the Asphalt 6 HD before buying at the Gameloft website at old times (but when installed the game is not HD at all), but the game refuse to download the data, thou im still thinking why is not working anymore in this year but when im use the game apk from the Japanese FW, (this is the truely HD) and the game just works. If there any way to bypass it, please PM me. Many others Gameloft games that i've buy and own is not working anymore, but only from the Firmwares still works.
