A year after they announced Netflix would no longer work on rooted devices it finally stopped working on my N7 this morning halfway through watching a programme. I'd been updating the app as usual through the Play Store, but it has now gone invisible. The app just stuttered to a halt and now won't let me log in.
Looks like the old iPad is gonna have to be put to use for Netflix now!
i been using Netflix on rooted and unlock bootloader (all my devices are) and haven't had any problems with stream/playback on any of my devices.,
The only issue is i have to sideload the latest release (apk from apkmirror) , but nothing mayor
I had to jump through a few hoops, but I got it working again. Renamed liboemcrypto.so and rebooted. Still didn't let me log in. Force closed app, cleared app data, reset password, cleared Dalvik and then rebooted again. One of those worked, so I got to log back in after doing them. Yay!
Spoke too soon. Whilst the app opens and I can log into it now and download stuff, nothing will play!

Showtime anytime suddenly stopped working no idea why also on fire TV stick.
When I activate my device then play it quits the app when I press Play.
Anyone having same symptom? it was working perfectly on both.. (works on my note4 just fine)
BUMP it can't be just me.. ?
It's not just me...
Anyone else? here are people reporting the issue on amazon community http://www.amazon.com/forum/fire?_e...0788&newContentNum=10#CustomerDiscussionsNRPB
Showtime was acting up for me a couple days ago, the way I fixed it.
Force stop, clear cache, clear data, you probably already did this (and the app'll have to be re-activated)
When you go to the website to activate, click on the "manage devices" tab and clear out the old activations for your device (I had to clear out 3)
Activate the device (for some reason the Showtime Anytime website doesn't play too nice with Firefox, so I had to use Chrome... not sure if this had any bearing on the activation or not)

Yea works fine now but when it was working bad I did all that you suggested nothing worked.
Now it's fine
I was messing around with xposed and Sony framework for ps4 remote play. I tried running Netflix and got an error, don't remember syntax. So deleted Netflix and tried to DL and now it won't show in play store . went to history to see it and says incompatible. So I did a dirty flash of same older ROM, same thing. So i did a full reset and installed lineage and same thing, incompatible. What am I missing?
Bad enough my nexus' rotation is broke, touch screen randomly doesn't take inputs, usb port broken, only charges and can't connect PC for files. Wireless charging randomly doesn't work and drains over night, etc. The one thing I had was some browsing and Netflix.
I had the same thing, the last update of Netflix it said it was incompatible and since then it doesn't show in the Play Store. Luckily I still have the previous version installed, but failing that you could try installing version 4.8.5 from https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862715472

****ers. This did it meanwhile I thought my **** was broken bad.
Now lineage looks OK but typing in browser has 2 second delay before showing on screen.
Incidentally having looked further into the Netflix problem, apparently this is deliberate on Netflix's part; they've just decided not to allow installation on unlocked/rooted devices. At least they haven't blocked it entirely, I suppose, but I see lots of people threatening to close their Netflix accounts over it - most of the recent Play Store reviews are 1 or 2 stars because of it.
Yeah people are getting their accounts locked and banned due to this. Such a silly move from Netflix, classic corporate decision and they think it'll help stop piracy with offline downloads then people using root to grab them and upload them. Seems the long way to do it haha. If anything this will drive people to piracy, however we who root are a big niche so I doubt they'll care.
Magisk will get around this but you gotta be careful as if stuff updates then SafetyNet breaks and you open Netflix you'll be screwed. Or use an old apk like someone mentioned further up. Though this may turn server side soon.
it's because ur rooted. the netflix company has started blocking ppl from installing netflix to a rooted device or a device with an unlocked bootloader. idk most of whts going on but i think it has something to do with androids version of widevine. u can still get the latest netflix by sideloading the app from downloading an apk from a trusted source like apk mirror. hope i helped!
The new 5.2.6.0 update was pushed out to my FireTV on Saturday morning and I've been unable to run YouTube, PBS, NBC, and Amazon Prime programming since then. All my paid apps are running fine so far - Hulu, Netflix, HBO Now - but when I try to load anything from the free apps, I get kicked back a screen or two and nothing loads.
I have one of the original Fire TV boxes as I bought it in April 2014 and it's worked great since I bought it. I was on the phone for over an hour yesterday trying to get some help from their techs but nothing worked including a complete factory reset. Something in this update is blocking access to my free apps programming.
I understand that I'm supposed to be seeing more advertising but that's missing too. I was told at the end of my tech support conversation to buy another box because the warranty has obviously run out, but of course, they stopped selling the boxes several weeks ago and I'm stuck with a box that only works for half of what we used to watch.
Any suggestions for my next step? TIA!

I'm not from the US, but I'm pretty this is sounding like some sort of cache bug.
Try going to each individual app in settings and clearing cache and data; if this doesn't solve it, then I would remove the app and reinstall it.
If this doesn't work, I'd try deregistering your Amazon account in settings with the applications stated removed; then registering again, this may refresh the app store's data.
Lastly, try a factory reset of the Fire TV; this is a last resort.
Ok so i have same issues the main one being allcast i cannot stream to tv from phone or kindle hd the firestick just tells me to install allcast on firestick... i have also factory reset and still the same issues telling me to install the app... tryed on my old firestick not updated to 5.2.6.0 and all app are working fine
Uk user
Um. For those of you with the app store problems, does syncing your Amazon account fix this?
This is if you cannot download applications
Go to: Settings > My Account > Sync Amazon Content
What if you install the app from the browser interface on your laptop.

Try to install it remotely from the Amazon site, and choose to deliver it to the Fire stick you want. If it doesn't try to sync your account.
I doubt the application being installed is at issue, I believe there is some sort of configuration issue for you with the app. I don't use AllCast, so I can't help you there
This application has stopped working since the 21st September on newer released firmwares, the application developer will need to fix the issue with newer firmwares for AllCast.
This could be correlated with the issues others have; I doubt there has been major API changes.
Ok thanks i appreciate the reply regarding allcast app guess i just have to wait for an update and try it again..
:good:

I did all of this during my phone conversation with tech support, plus I had removed and reinstalled those apps prior to calling in with my problem. We did the deregistering/reregistering my account and then we did a full factory reset, which also didn't work. Is it possible that I have a corrupt install of this update? And could tech support remove the new version and knock it back to the previous one?
Interesting questions. I've had YouTube freezing after a few minutes, since the update. I'll do a clear cache/data as see if that resolves it. If not a new YT install.
I spoke with tech support last night because I reported this issue to them about 10 days ago and I wanted an update. The guy told me there was a master ticket in the system regarding this issue. It sounds like the new update triggered an hdcp error in certain apps. Like the OP, all my payed apps work but non of my amazon or free apps.

I ended up buying a 2nd generation unit from Best Buy that arrived today and is working just fine. Good luck with yours - I hope they get it fixed for you.
Hello all, reached into a drawer to mess with xperia play I want to sell after a few years. I have a 8 gb card in it (learned that it acts silly on usb without that), but the issue is that the Market app seems broken and the phone is seemingly not updating it to google play.
I seem to remember that back in the day my xperia play when reset would after a few minutes/hours of being connected to wifi and connected to a google account would update the Market app to the Play Store and things would work fine. Not this time. I"m worried that if I sell it like this the buyer will be unhappy and come back to me.
Market says:
"attention, a server error has occurred, retry or acancela nd return to the previous screen." Retrying twice puts it back on a load screen which seems to do nothing. Hitting menu button brings up search, my apps, settings and help as normal, help loads up website, settings brings up settings as seemingly normal...
Please help! Device is vanilla, unrooted, never was, and sd card is 8gb and freshly formatted.
Did you find a fix for this? IT was working great until I did a factory reset now I'm stuck with this error I have tried resetting again. Clearing data and catch it doesn't do anything.

Sadly no, no solution. I sold the phone and the buyer has left me positive feedback, I assume his intention was to go full out and put on a CFW to what he wanted with it. Someone on reddit suggested that gingerbread may to be too old to receive updates now and that all xperia plays might be in the same boat.
As for me, I'm using an Nvidia Shield, Tuvva gamepad and GP7 these days. I do miss the Xperia Play's portability and other strengths. If I could have a xperia play with updated specs and a 5 inch or bigger screen I would buy it on launch day.
I downloaded a Play Store apk and installed that and it automatically updates the market to Play store. Hope that helps.
Fire phone appstore unusable since today, with blank page & partially readable message:
The introspection has more information.
I was using Google play store before, but phone dialling stopped working, so I reset phone, & it worked ok until today, with appstore issue.
Resetting didn't solve the problem.
Anyone having this problem? Fix?

This is the full message I get:
The layout you specified doesn't exist for this page.

I used Mayday on the phone & got a technician online. He tried hard, but could not solve the problem, asked me to reset to factory defaults which I had done already, so re-did.
Still the problem persists.
I can access apps installation using other shortcuts, but all main menus of app headers section give a blank page with that message.
Technician promised he will call back, but did not.
Debugging -
Creating then using a new Amazon account yields a working Appstore app.
So the problem is with the original account I hold with Amazon.
Technicians from Amazon have no clue as to how to fix this, & referred me to the Appstore team, who will get back to me in a few days... LOL!
Having that problem too. First it worked, but one day stopped working on both phones I have. Well, at least I have Google store working.
Solved - Appstore app fix (for me)
Only geeks & nerds would obsess about getting an app to work until it does - either way, it is fixed, the Appstore app on my Amazon Fire phone -
I downloaded the latest stock rom, put it in the sdcard, rebooted to the recover menu (Vol+ & off switch), chose adb side load, force switched off...
After switching back on, the stock rom bin file was deleted from sdcard, & the Amazon Fire phone Appstore app was fixed.
I kept a copy of the latest stock rom just in case.
I gather there was file corruption, & the system recovered itself by using what was needed from the rom.
