well i know a browser called skyfire allows you to watch hulu on flash enabled devices pretty well but as far as netflix, i've never been a subscriber so i have no idea.

Nope, no netflix. Netflix claims they can't because the content providers require DRM and there just isn't any on Android.
Ahh the price of freedom

Netflix said there will be a app coming after the new year, they said that a little while ago

I remember trying skyfire but it didn't work. Well Netflix doesn't work tryed that. Hopefully Netflix pulls it together I was watching it on my friends iPhone 4 and it looked good. Hopefully we will have it after new years late Christmas present haha.

Netflix is slated to release for our phones in the coming months i believe. Hulu can be played on our phones via a modified browser.apk i remember seeing these floating around in the nexus one forums. I'm sure you could find it there or somewhere here. However using the modified browser.apk will not allow you to play netflix because the desktop netflix client is based off of microsoft silverlight and not flash.
Hope this helped.

[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.

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!!!

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?

Slingplayer phone will not work on my Galaxy Nexus (fixed)

I have been a Slingplayer user for over six years. Yes I know how to set up my router. I can sling to any computer, to my iphone, to my ipad2, but when I try it on my Galaxy Nexus it will go to the screen where you choose your slingbox or the "directory" then just stays on that screen. I can click my box but to no avail.
I am 100% sure its an issue with either the android app, my Gnex, or another app that may be conflicting with it.
I am on CM9Kang 4.0.3 with the 4.0.3 radios and boot loader, I am using fracos kernel 12, and nova launcher. has anyone else had any issues.

I use the Sling Player and it has been working fine for me. I'm running the Codename Android rom.
Sent from my GalaxyNexus using XDA App

Me, too. No problems with Slingplayer on the rooted stock ROM.

What radios and bootloader do you have?
This is as far as I can get.

using 4.0.3 radio. Have you tried a different sling player apk file? I'm sure its something within the phone if its working on everything else.

That fricken P*** me off. I just downloaded an APK and it works. So the app I payed 30$ for doesnt work and the app I didnt want to download because I felt it was like steeling worked. No wonder no one likes to pay for android apps, its a friggen scam!
Oh thanks for the advice.

Please help
Guys,
I am experiencing the same thing as Chakra. My Slingbox works great on my iPad but when I connect to my Galaxy Nexus it fails to load past the Directory Screen.
I spoke to supervisors at Slingbox and they have no clue what to do and told me to reach out to Google who has no clue what to do. This is the only forum on the web who has someone that has gotten past this. Please help me out.

If you're lucky enough to have JellyBean on your GNex, check out this app

I was just watching the Google IO Keynote live stream (I know, everyone's ideal way to spend a nice afternoon), and I saw this company that was getting featured by Android called Ekata Systems who launched their app Tapestry at the show. It seems to be a synchronized slideshow between JB devices with some snazzy twists that I've never seen any app do. It works best when you're trying it with a friend/family member so there are at least two devices (phone and/or tablet) to highlight the features though. You can check out the interview here, and the app here.
Talk about bleeding edge...only available on Jelly Bean. It uses this new feature called WiFi Direct that creates a local P2P network between 1:N clients. I'm playing with it with my co-workers and it is pretty sweet.

Is it for sure only for JB? The image in the app info shows a GSII and a Droid RAZR.
Sent from my Full AOSP on Toro-VZW using xda premium

You've got a good eye! Since I have a JB Galaxy Nexus and an N7, I can see the app in Google Play. But my friends who run an older distribution, can't even search for the app in the app store. As far as I know it only runs on JB.

Thanks that made me laugh!

I tried the app w/ my wife, who has a GNex running JB, and I have a brand spank'n new N7. It was awesome seeing the phone control a slideshow on the bigger screen of the N7, and we were scrolling through her pictures. It is almost like a mobile power point slideshow. There is a nifty feature we discovered, where if you do a swipe gesture on the viewing device, the image downloads directly to the device...which is weird because my N7 was not connected to WiFi at the time. Anyone know how it could've gotten the file without being connected to a WiFi AP? I heard something about WiFi Director but don't know what that is.

I did a quick search, and WiFi Direct is essentially a P2P protocol over WiFi. It doesn't required a live WiFi AP connection, so it works pretty much anywhere. I don't think I've seen any app use WiFi Direct, so thought it was pretty neat.

It's either WiFi direct or NFC

Not to squash innovation but doesnt Instagram already kinda suit the need? I clearly see the differences but I think its splitting hairs in the solution dept. New App, less community, faster death. Unless its truly compelling.

Less community....watching the guy talk about it in his Google IO video...I think that is almost the point. It is not to go wide and online and asynchronous....but closer and more intimate and more synchronous. A completely different approach to the experience of photo sharing.

Dude I was watching All About Android #69 last night, and guess who they did an exclusive feature on? @ ~10:45

That's one of the cool features of galaxy s3, share shot, was wondering when it will be out for all, and here it is.

Is this feature not available on the Nexus S? I tried the app, but it didn't seem to work. It does seem to work on my wife's Galaxy Nexus, but without a second device, it's hard to actually test/enjoy it.

Yeah, sounds like from the feedback of another member that the Nexus S, although running JB, doesn't support WiFi Direct so it may not work. Pretty sweet when you get it going though. Time to buy a Nexus 7 so you can hook up with your wife's GNex!

My sister-in-law got the JB update on her Sprint GNex phone and is trying out the app and having problems. Anyone else try downloading/using the app and have a Spring GNex w/ JB? Kindly advise if you're having problems using the app.

Crittias. I just got an auto-update notice a few days ago that Tapestry has updated, and supposed it supports all the way back to Gingerbread. Sharp move, since not everyone is going to have JellyBean devices, so with Gingerbread, 85%+ of Android users can finally use the app. Should come in handy this holiday season when using the app, since nobody else in my entire family has JellyBean. Cromagnons! =)

[APP]About Photoshop touch

I am wondering is there any way to make the playstore treat my n710x as tab10.1 then let me pay and install photoshop touch
because it would be lovely to use n710x with the 1024 pen to edit photo or create image when travel
For this, I have done some researches and I found this:
But seems its not compatible with n710x.....plz help

If you have a tablet, you can buy it there and transfer file like I did.
Also if you are rooted, editing build prop to say that phone is a transformer might work.

How do I buy Photoshop Touch?
Is there a way to buy the Adobe Photoshop Touch app to install on my Galaxy Note 2?
I do not have a tablet so I cannot use that to download the app and then extract the apk to sideload my Note 2.
Google play lists the Note 2 as incompatible. Is there a way I can purchase and download the app on to the desktop?
I ran a search and am not able to come up with any useful link on how to yet.

I can help yours boys. Just PM me.

All you need is the APK installs fine on the note 2 without being rooted... that's all I'm going to say.. you just need the apk.

I enjoy photo editing so was looking for this. Adobe doesnt let me pay for it so I found a unlegit copy. It is available all over the web illegally but you should pay the developer for their work - should they allow you to!!! I got my copy from a very coolapk site but its japanese or chinese or something. .if I find I actually use it I will pay the dev for their work should they ever decide they want my money :/ in my experience, apps that say not compatible on the market will obviously install on an incompatible device but there will be something about it that doesnt wotk properly and is usually related to screen size. Havent come across any problems with ps touch yet.

Thanks... I did get the app... though, NOT the way I would have liked.
I hope Adobe makes a compatible version for Note 2 as it does match all requirements except physical screen size.
I would surely buy it... I was crazy enough to buy the whole Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection for my desktop... I wouldn't mind spending a few bucks for the phone app.
Until then... it is unfortunate.

I was excited to read about the tablet workaround. So I bought it today and moved the APK over to my Galaxy Note 2. Sadly, the new 1.4.1 that was released today doesn't seem to work, much of the UI appears offscreen, or stacked on top of each other. It seems that I paid my $10 a day too late.
Does the Play store allow older versions to be downloaded?

I guess someone need to edit the build prop or DPI so the new v1.4.1 version can fit perfectly on galaxy note 2

Since you actually PAID for it, i think it would be OK to procure the older version of the app in an unethical way, like warez websites.
