[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?

HTC YouTube app pulled from Marketplace

The HTC YouTube app is no longer in the Marketplace, that I can find. It's not in HTC's section, and it's not in the regular section. The direct link below works in zune, but the app page says "unavailable".
I get why MetroTube was pulled, but I would expect HTC to have more pull or whatever with Google, and not be subject to that same issue.
zune://navigate/?appID=ee0d24ce-fe04-e011-9264-00237de2db9e
Am I missing something?

I use m.YouTube.com and the full site. They work great.

yes, this is what we needed to know about the situation.

I sideloaded it onto my Omnia W, just because i can but honestly YouTube Pro is much better imho.

AFAIK its been gone for awhile now.maybe since about December or so, those are good alternatives that I suggested tho.

Unfortunate
its unfortunate when device manufacturers pull their own apps, such as samsungs allshare here in the uk, but now that google has updated its m.youtube.com website, and mango's inherent ability to play youtube videos straight off the bat, perhaps HTC felt that their app was no longer necessary.
There are a few others on the marketplace, although ive never used any of them so unfortunately i wouldnt like to try and recommend any of them.

I hope they will reupload their sound enhancer app. It has gone since september/october. That really pisses me off...

I don't really miss it as much now that I got me some skullcandy headphones. I discovered that once u have a good audio system or some headphones with a good DSP its not even as needed.

Issues with VR

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask, but anyways, I'd thought I'd give it a shot here. I bought a VR headset. However, on some apps, like Google Cardboard, I'm unable to rotate side to side (yaw). I am still able to rotate the other two directions. This issue also happens when I used VR Player, but it is fixed when I go to its in-app settings and change the orientation provider to Gyroscope (calibrated). In some other apps and sites, like https://vr.chromeexperiments.com/ , it works perfectly. Is there a way to fix this. Any help would be appreciated. Using and HTC One m8 and CM14.1.

op5T - ant+ is it working properly

Hi, I am new here. Please bear with me
My present device (Samsung j5 / 2017 model) was damaged and now want to buy a better device - looking at OP5T.
Want to know if this OP5T really supports ANT+ without any hasle? I am reading on the forums - many users experiencing issus such as - a) going into flight mode for using ANT+ b) factory reset c) downloading a set of apps to make it work with ANT+ etc. I am not good at tech things, just a simple user of phone. Can't go around showrooms or find solutions/ experimenting to make it work
A physical trainer by profession, so need this feature badly. Samsung J5 worked like a charm, even from the inception, never had any trouble. I never had to reset that handset; it got crushed accidently when I dropped one of the heavy dumbels. So, now have to buy a new one.
Please advice if OP5T works out of the box, without any hasle?
Thanks for your time in advnce ; Regards

Hi,
I'm using OP 5T with rooted stock OOS 5.1.1 and ANT+ works like a charm for me using IpSensorMan. You have to install the ANT+ Radio Service and, for some apps, the ANT+ Plugins Service from Play Store to make it work. I haven't had any issues, but haven't used it very much either

Hi LasseHoej,
thanks for your positive response. however, I am not really tech guy. How to install this root stocked OS? and how to install IpSensorMen? I know how to install from google playstore. Is it possible to put up a youtube video how to do this? That will be a big help, i know it will be burden on you, but really looking forward to it.
Thanks in advance

Hi again,
You don't need a rooted OS, it should work just fine as your phone is now. IpSensorMan is an app using ANT+. So it's actually just the ANT+ Radio Service and, for some apps, the ANT+ Plugins Service, you need to install from Play Store.

Post PIE Upgrade

Hi Guys,
finally i had time to upgrade from Stock OREO to Stock PIE.
I did the Backup with LG Bridge and its really weird that all lags were gone
On OREO i always used whiskeyomega´s sound mods, which, as i read, isnt working on PIE anymore.
So i followed this Thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/themes/magisk-official-stock-android-pie-t3971617) and added CineShot and LG Equalizer Magisk Module and Magisk_LGV30_AlO_Optimization_v9.4_DualSpeaker.zip
The only thing i realise after reboot, that HIM is always on with Headphones and i can see weather animations (have seen just sunshine, cause this was the weather today).
But i recognised, that Dual Speaker Mode seems not to work, i can hear just one Speaker.
Is there a possibility to check if everything went good? Or do you recommend ohter stuff for the best sound & performance settings?
2 other Questions to the new Stock PIE:
Do you recommend "de-bloating" somehow?
I used 2 ways back in OREA days, one was with Titanium Backup and the other App was something where i was able to stop each service.
You could get good performances, except you stopped some nessecary system-relevated services. Thats why im asking if there is a known tutorial maybe somehow or should i let it be?
PowerAmp: I use PowerAmp since years and i really love the usability and i payed for premium years ago.
In this Tread https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/themes/magisk-bring-24-bit-output-aosp-pie-t3900863 ive readen, that there are settings to make, to enable 24bit sound for PowerAmp.
Should i do this or do you recommend other music software for the highest possible soundquality?
And if yes, should i deactivate above mentioned Magisk Modules?
Thank you for your help,
Regards,
Ernesto

The speaker issue is discussed in the thread you linked to. It's the xml file that it replaces. It works for some but some others (like myself) had to use another. (available in the thread) Also, it won't work with Poweramp. It uses its own process that bypasses this. So check it with the stock music app or YouTube etc.
