[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

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?

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.

Adobe have stated that after this date flash will not be downloadable from the play store for devices that ARE NOT natively supported (meaning it doesn't have a plugin libs in /system/lib/plugins/ in the unedited stock rom).
Those that are, flash will still downloadable through the market (though no longer updated).
Flash already installed on devices will continute to operate and will not magically shut off after this date.

Who needs flash? I'm not using and the only difference between having flash player installed or not is the amount of advertisements you see on a webpage. As long as you don't player flash games through your browser there won't be any need for it.

Lucky you, there are several websites that don't have an optmized mobile page/html 5, and all info / website is in flash... I'm more than happy to be able to navigate in such sites, even if it is clumsy, unoptmized, laggy... At least I can see the info I need whenever I need, even if not perfect...
While most people won't hit such web sites often, it is possible, specially whenever you are on the road, have the phone with you, and the info you need is in that god damned flash page... I just can't remember how many times my sister called me telling she was en route to some place, trying to get info from another place, and couldn't because the page won't load on her phone, asking me to check the information for her.... :victory: I probably could live without flash, I probably could also live without a smartphone and not checking the web while on the streets, but, if I can do that and that saves me precisous time, I'm more than willing to not part with Flash Player... I just use it with plugins on-demand setting and that work very fine for me.

I recently bought a Nexus 7, which doesn't come with the Android browser, only Chrome which doesn't run Flash. I uploaded the Flash player that was installed my Galaxy Nexus phone to Dropbox, then installed it on my Nexus 7. Several 3rd party browsers can run Flash on the Nexus 7, I choose Firefox. Now I can still run Flash infested sites even though Android 4.1.1 wasn't supposed to have it. This gives me hope that Flash will continue to be available on our GNex as well.

Flash works fine on a Stock (OTA updated from ICS) gnexus running JB 4.1.1 if you sideload the apk, it has the same old flash problems (buggy in places, bit of a cpu hog) but it works.
Basically that adobe link says that they will flip the switch and only allow people who have it installed, to get updates, nothing about deleting it from your phone
tl;dr sideload it until it breaks due to changes in android.

Flash is needed for the bbc iplayer apps.
Just checked on my 2nd GN (stock jb 4.1.1) and the adobe flash app and bbc iplayer is not showing in the store. Though it is installed and working fine on my main GN which is identical but i had flash and iplayer installed before i updated to jb.
Neither are available for my nexus 7.

I'm pretty sure the BBC have HTML5 streams for iOS devices, they just need to pull their thumbs out and update the app

Is there working xbmc with nexus 7 kitkat?

Hi to all. I have problem with xbmc and my nexus 7 2013. After update of kitkat it seems that the only working versions are the latest night builds of gotham xbmc. But almost all addons are incompatible or videos not working. Is there any pached froyo or gotham version working with addons?

I am going to try to find a working version tonight. I can tell you about Gotham that when it says things are broken in repository, its not really true. The addons just have not been updated to reflect gotham, but when it asks you if you want to disable the addon, just say no, most will still work. Use the xbmchub wizard to make things easier.

if addon is not compatible i can't even install it! Broken is different case.With last updates in nightly builds almost all addons are incompatible, not broken. When you make your tests too please inform me.
xbmchub gives the same or worst results...

I have a Gotham xbmc version that works on my nexus 5. Nightly yes, but it stool works OK. It is named xbmc-2013114-nexus5-master-armeabi-v7a
Hope this helps

That nightly is the 11/14 or 11/15 nightly. My tablet died and I got busy with an emergency right now so I don't know what nightly I have on my nexus 7 but was able to use video add ons before with no issue. The program NaviX was force closing on me when I picked a play list. I get the messages that addons are incompatible, do you want to disable them, I choose no and they still work fine.

they changed something i xbmc development and almost all addons are off and i can't install them. Also xbmc subtitles addon is not in the repos!

I also can't find a decent one that doesn't begin telling me everything is broke or not working/compatible. They say they will have a working version for all android platfoms soon. I doubt it.

it seems that xbmc support is too poor! how to test their alpha images if we have not working addons? let's wait...

Any updates on this? I just got the nightly working, but every (most) plugin is incompatible and won't let me install them.

I'm using the latest nightly (xbmc-20131211-210cf9f-master-armeabi-v7a.apk) from the 11 December from http://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/xbmc/nightlies/android/arm/
Most of the add-ons do not work but I haven't had any issues with sound on video playback like most of the other versions.

One I've found was DEC 6 nightly build. Doesn't force close every two minutes maybe once or twice a day. When you get the not working errors just cancel them. Everything works fine from my end. Not moving from this build. Most stable I found.

Same issue here.
Official answer is to use Nightlies, but XBMC automatically marks ALL addons on nightlies as incompatible whether or not it is actually true. Makes nightlies pretty goddamned worthless, and they won't vary from their "monthly" release schedule even for a major compatibility fix.
So basically if you use XBMC... don't ever upgrade your OS version.

One way to get various addons to work is to use the xbmchub wizard from xbmchub.com. When XBMC tells you addons are marked as broken, do you want to disable, just say no to each one. Annoying, but so far other than Navi X I can use my addons without issue.

Spotify freezes tapping 3 dots menu

When playing a song in Spotify and tapping on the 3 dots in the upper right corner, the screen dims a little bit and Spotify freezes. No probs like this with Mi Mix 2s and Redmi Note 4. Erased app data, uninstalled, re-installed - no changes.
Any ideas?

Same problem for me

Same here. Seems like this problem has been around for a while.

By the way, I have the Chinese rom (for now). Does it happen on the global rom also?

Just to let you know. I signed up for a Spotify Beta account, hoping the bug is fixed in the beta - but no...same problem

Hello,
Theres a workaround, tap the song/album you want, then go to the playlist and select "add song", then swipe right until you get the recently played pannel and add song/album to playlist....

Confirm I had the same problem with my unit, that is until I returned it due to the touchscreen issue mentioned in another thread.

Same issue, already posted on Spotify's forums and they didn't even acknowledged it.
Lots of people complaining yet the can't or refuse to do something about it...

Damn, just got the phone yesterday and I am having the same issue and was hoping someone may have found a solution. I wonder if it's to do with the new processor in this phone? I saw someone in a Spotify support forum (not an R8NPro user) saying they turned on OpenGL Rendering (although not sure how or where?) and that fixed it for them. Spotify presents one of my main use cases for the phone so this sucks. Anyone tried using an older version of the app?
On a related note (no pun intended!), I have always rooted my phones just so I could use Viper4Audio to eek out a better sound. I am using Bluetooth as my primary connection. Has anyone done any side by sides in terms of audio quality? If I don;t have to root then I won't as I think I read of some possible issues at present with this phone?
Thanks for any help!

Just got a new system update on my RN8Pro. Has anyone tried the current version of Spotify after this update to see if it works? I am using a very old version of the app which is working (albeit less featured) so am loathe to have to download all my playlists again to try it

Works for me now with MIUI 11. But I'm also using Spotify Beta and there was an update too. So I'm not sure why it's working again. Please try out folks

Works fine for me. Miui 11 and latest Spotify stable release.

Same problem for me

Miui 11 update fix many issues, like the Spotify bug !
