Netflix releases Android app - Vibrant General

http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/12/netflix-releases-android-app-for-select-htc-phones-samsung-nexu/
It's only for select phones for the time being, but hopefully the devs can make this happen.

im sure it will work on cm7 im downloading the app as we speak

I literally came here seconds after seeing Nexus S and not any of the Galaxy S devices listed.

versedout,
Thank you for this bit of information. This is what all Android users have been waiting for. I am completeley stoked, but it's bitter sweet at the same time. I really love my Vibrant and really don't want to have to get another phone so that I could enjoy the nectur of the gods. I can only hope, no wait, I KNOW that one of the Devs will get this up and running for all phonesnot just: "The app has just hit the Android Market and is apparently available for the HTC Incredible, Nexus One, Evo 4G, and G2, plus the Samsung Nexus S. "

That's what I was thinking of doing. I just haven't seen the apk posted.

@Das_Negros I know it's only a matter of time.

Apk post? Anyone?

No need for an apk when there is an online Android Market. Here is the link to the market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.netflix.mediaclient

apk - http://www.multiupload.com/NPZ062QIZB via Gizmodo.
Of course I installed it and it gave me "Netflix is not supoorted on this device..." but it does load up the startup screen.

A friend has downloaded it to his EVO 4G and the thing works flawlessly....Just pissed that they didn't make it for the Galaxy S/Vibrant.....just have to wait I guess (come on guys work your magic....Devs that is)

well its a no go changed my build.prop strait from cm7 for nexus s and its a no go lets me log in and check movies and such but wont play ill reinstall and see if its different

i get nothing but a blank screen then fc on cm7 with bilboa's kernel, tried installing the app twice with the same result.

grabbed apk from the HTC forum, not working on vibrant with TW 2.2 rom

Definitely what I was waiting for, I get alot of downtime at work. Netflix on my phone would be quite amazing...

Not supported on SGH-T959 with Bionix 1.3.1.
Stay classy Android fragmentation.

thought i had read a while back that netflix was only able to make a licensing deal for android if the supported device had hardware based drm to prevent piracy

Got the app on my G2 and its the same as my itouch. What I don't understand is why does it need DRM protected when you need an netflix account to use it.

wow, I opened the market and it was the new one right off the bat! Question though: wasn't it supposed to have video previews? I haven't seen an app that has it yet.
How do I force-update?

No throttle and no clock for liberty 1.5

Here's a link for no throttle an no clock for 1.5, I know a lot of people are using the ones for 1.0 without issues but since some people are reporting problems I decided to wait till I found this....
http://androidforums.com/droid-x-al...ottle-no-clock-no-throttle-liberty-1-5-a.html
Hope it helps. Enjoy!
Edit: props go to bouchigo
entrance not for everybody, for madmen only
will this work if i install the gingerbread theme?
I believe so, if the clock does reappear just apply it again. But I don't think the themes effect the service.jar file.

What does "pwn" mean? I ask because whatever it is they will most likely be doing it to me since I use way more data then that. And sorry for the ignorance but not long ago I thought trolling was just looking for girls or hanging out under a bridge. I had no idea it meant provoking people in forums. Still don't understand why they don't call it instigating or being an instigator.

Probably not, its replaces the services.jar file for for the droidx running liberty 1.5. I'm. Not sure that the d2 has the throttle built in like the dx does. Even if it does the services.jar file is most likely different.

No...Netflix does not support our hardware at this time.

Running CM7 on CDMA Tab (Sprint)

Just for anyone interested.. I'm running the CM7 that was posted over at rootzwiki (yes, I know it's only RFS) and so far so good. Had to pull the kernel outta the zip and flash it with the recovery, but was able to boot into CWM and then flash the full zip. Just had to get my flashing fix on my Tab while waiting for Oldmacnut to get his EXT4 version working to his satisfaction so I can run that.
Anybody else excited that various forms of CM7 are slowly getting to a usable state for our CDMA Tabs?
I'm definitely excited and I downloaded the files last night to do the same as you but was too tired and lazy to actually do it... Maybe tonight...

Yes if you purchase the sixaxis app from market it explains everything... I paired with my droid x no problems, however samsung devs must have been high when they made the bluetooth stack for galaxy tab, as it natively will not see the sixaxis or wiimote... This is why im so excited for oldmacnut's build, as CM7 on gsm tabs allows sixaxis pairing, therefore it should work when a cdma version is completed

Did you get a chance to test out if sixaxis would pair with your rootzwiki rfs CM7 yet? Just curious if you can confirm... There is a free sixaxis compatibility checker in market, it allows you to check compatibility before purchasing paid app.

I don't think so; I think you may be overstating things a bit. What do you really use flash for on your phone anyway?
I certainly didn't switch TO android because it could do flash.
And I sold phones for a long time and no customer ever told me they chose android because of flash compatibility.
Also, I don't see how your flash comment has anything to do with the Skyvi app.

Some did, but they switched for the wrong reason. I'm sure google has a planned HTML5 or something along the lines better than flash for the impending future. To remove something 'crucial' and NOT have a plan to replace it, is asinine. I'm not worried at all.

Other than asking my phone dumb stuff like "what is the meaning of life?" I do have any real need for Siri-like apps. Maybe if I used my phone while driving or something. What these apps need is an uncanny ability to answer any meaningless question I could come up with. That will sell me.

Tried Iris, not so good, know Vlingo don't like them (the company)
