Netflix is here (not)! - Atrix 4G General

So many of you may already know, the Netflix app has been released into the Android market! Can you download it onto your Atrix? Nope! It was only been set for certain HTC devices...how fun...

dont worry
someone here will hack it

The APK has already been posted here. I don't know if it works yet or not though, haven't had a chance to try it. Anybody else?

Why did you make another thread when you had just made one a few minutes ago about Netflix? You should know better than that....

it says device not supported. it let me sign in but when i click to watch something it says device not supported again

i too got the dreaded device not supported message bummer! i hope they add atrix to the supported list soon

Not able to find Google Talk in the market

A friend of mine got his first Android phone today and told him to download Google Talk and he was not able to find it. So I searched and had now luck either any one else or am I missing something?
Edit: He found it pre-installed.
Mm yeah I was about to say that Google talk is one of the apps the still comes with the phone, just like YouTube just to come hopefully they start updating it tho

Yeah, we know. Not there either. Miztaken1312 was kind enough to post the .apk files in the Captivate forum. I assume they're the same for most devices. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773272

Can someone post the Netflix APK

Can someone please post the APK for Netflix that was released today. Would like to try on the Atrix.
I want this too
Wow....the advertisements on this page are about Netflix...google is taunting me..
no worky
I tried downloading the apk and it basically says Netflix does not support this device. Nice. No Atrix support.
I'm hoping that can be rectified. Doubt it will be by Motorola.
even if you get it, it wont work.

What if someone spoofs the build.prop line that identifies the device? I hear people with custom roms can't run the app because it shows something other than default, so it sounds like the app is based off of that... but I have no clue if that can be changed on the Atrix at this point. If it's possible though, it would just take a minute to change it to read Nexus S or something.
EDIT: I just tried http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/ha5oh/root_how_to_edit_your_buildprop_to_make_netflix/ but still got the device unsupported message error. I probably did something wrong, so someone else is free to try.
Netflix Fix for Atrix
Sorry for the mispost...
I played with the apk all day and build.prop settings. I couldn't get it to work at all.
I could get it to load, error message, but still could sign in and manage my queue and whatnot, but when I hit play, the error came back up again.
messing with the build.prop, the app just flat out wouldn't load.
Oh, and swype stopped working at one point because of the edits, so I just put it back to stock and carry both my Evo and Atrix

Something I thought of afterwards was that it may look for other lines in the build.prop. There's a line in the Atrix's build.prop saying that the processor is a Tegra, did you try changing that line? If I remember right all (or nearly all) the Netflix supported phones run off a Qualcomm chip after all.
They got it working on the g2x (Tegra 2) by editing the build.prop also. Dang what is it about the atrix that is causing it not to load?
Are you on a custom rom?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I guess they said they are working on it still because of the drm they use and that android doesn't have a unified method to decrypt it for play back, so I guss they have to make it work in each device one at a time that sucks.
Sound right?
ya but this build prop edit has allowed it to work on phones that were not on the 'officially supported' list
I tried to copy any relavant info from my evo's build.prop (it's cyanogen7) that I could think of. I saw the processor type field on the atrix, but there wasn't one on the evo. There were quite a few fields that are extra on the atrix.
But again, swype stopped working because it thought my phone was some other phone...not worth it. I'll look into more detail of why the evo works

"Official Youtube" app working on a500 [Not-rooted] [AV : 3.2.1]

Since yesterday [8/01/2012] it seems that the official youtube app works on the un-rooted a500.
I always had the problem of it not being supported or unable to install, so it came as a surprise that after the update to [Acer_A500_7.014.14_COM_GEN1] i had a fully fuctioning youtube app, with full widget support as well.
------
The reason for this surprise is simple :
I had a picture here, but the 8 post policy won't allow me to show it.
----
The above basicly stated that it's impossible to install the application in your designated country, i've had this for a long time but it then read that the acer just wasn't supported not that my country wasn't.
I've haven't got a youtube apk to share with you guys so just try to find one, since it isn't available on the market on my a500 in my country, if you already knew this and i'm just being a slowpoke here please tell me in a post.
I repeat again : This is the first time the install worked for me and appears as a widget and works, my device is also not rooted.
Holy crap it's already August in Europe?
I don't know if I'm missing something, but.. I've had the official YouTube app on my tablet since forever. Have I misunderstood something?
Damn, i thought it didn`t work before the update.
I've never gotten it to work, as i said.
And since it didn't show up in the market i thought the iconia didn't support it.
Wich i had found weird before though.
My fault was in the localisation of my market, seems it isn't available yet in some european countries.

Interesting, I got my a500 in early december. I installed the youtube app right away without issue.

Help! App for downloading tablet apps?

I'm looking for an app or method to be able to download apps on the Google Play Market that are strictly for tablets. When I try it gives me a message saying the app is not compatible for my device. I know that this has something to do with the Play Market knowing that my phone is not a tablet and they get that information from somewhere in the build prop..I think. Anyways, could somebody please help me.
Does anybody have an idea??
You have to request for a mod that will trick your play store into thinking that your phone is a tablet search around though I think you may be able to ask a few developers that are in the early stages of there ROMs build and maybe taking request.. Also if you come across anything that can help them put this in there ROMs and send them the info I'm sure they will add it.. Just see what you can find on your own first..

[Q] kindle for samsung app on galaxy note 4

hi all
for some strange reason when i first got this device i was able to go to the samsung app store and
download the kindle for samsung app. It was nice, it had multi window function and I was quite happy about that.
as on my note 8 i had to hack the darn thing to work with multi-window (tutorials are lovely things aren't they )
I had to do a factory reset on the thing and ever since then i'm not able to find that app anymore.
I finally stumbled on a thread in xda where some one posted the kindle for samsung app in an other thread for the S6 i think it was. I managed to grab it from there but this one has no multi window function.
I've busted my brains for three days now, message samsung twice with absolutely zero luck. they seem to selectively become unable to comprehend anything I say beyond a point. Tried all kinds of vpn ip re-routing and still can't get onto the samsung app store to get this friggin app.
so if anyone in here has it would you please.. please please pleaaaaaseeeee im begging you be so kind as to give me a dropbox link or something so i can pick this thing up and finally use kindle with multiwindow? please?
I'm seriously drained now looking around and looking for a way around samsungs nonsense (don't even get me started on the google play store -not available in your country blah blah) uuuuuhhhh
help... i give up please help.
What you get in the Samsung store is dependent on device description in the build.prop. perhaps check if a flash of some Rom changed it.
Hmm I'm not sure what you mean. I'm new-ish to android. If you mean about rooting and changing from the official samsung rom to an other then no, I've never done that.
the phone is new. It was initially turned on and setup in the USA that may be why, I dunno. Samsung said that the kindle for samsung app is simply not part of the store which services my location. They zoned my country out (for an ebook reader? Maybe it's for the book deals but I don't care for that)
If you meant something else , what should I be looking for in this file and what should it be?
I guess it's time to find some tutorials again. (Heck of a lot of trouble for just one app though this is getting crazy for one apk)
I'm sure if I can just get the apk I'd be good.
Thanks though.
yeah, that was what i was refering to. if you flash a new rom it might be that the description of your phone changes.
the only thing i could think of would be that your sim card changed the region your phone is accounted to and so you can't download it anymore. a possible way would be to reset your phone and startup without sim, connect to wifi and install it from samsungs store and after that you can insert the sim card again and continue the setup. i understand that this is not a convenient way, so you'd better just search for the apk.
samsung is restricting access, because it comes bundles with one year service 1 free book per month.
i just tried it and could download and install it from the galaxy apps store.
Lol would you believe all while I was doing this there was no sim card in the phone?
I was getting a feel for the phone and transferring contacts playing with it all before I put the sulim on. In fact, I only put the sim card in five minutes ago for the first time.
it has to be the book deals. I don't care about that, I don't want any novels.
Could u extract the apk with "es file explorer" and post a Dropbox link?
That would be awesome , that's all I'd need I'm sure of it. That particular apk
is no where to be found anywhere online
Here is a tutorial on how to do it

Also just heard from someone who said that if I ever did flash my phone with an other rom that the app wouldn't work anymore (at least that was his experience). I'm not really into that anyways. About the only thing I'd be interested in would be getting this SM-N910H to unlock LTS like the N190C I'm guessing it's just software lock out. I saw something in an other forum thread on here with people experimenting with it. I've not finished reading to the end of that thread yet. It did seem that was really no difference in these phones though. I dunno. Guess I'd better back up right quickly then haha.
What is LTS?
Oh that's 4G I believe that's what it's called
Oh it is called lte around here. I do not understand that you need to unlock it. It should be activated by default.

oh snap you're right I must have gotten the acronym mixed up with linux lts (long term support) you're correct its LTE.. but on my model it doesn't have it included.
the SM-910C and a few others have it mine is the SM-910H that doesn't have it by default but seems it might be a software lock-out. I'd love to have it though.
i did not see mentions of software locked LTE here yet.
i found this thread which claims (at the start at least) that your phone is a 3G version of the note 4.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/sm-n910h-3g-variant-t2925648
i did not read the whole thread, but if it really is not unlockable, perhaps you can exchange the phone with someone who does not need 4g and wants to have a little better battery life. in the end LTE modes were always known to drown your battery more quickly then 3g modems, i guess it is still like that.

Hey good looking out! Thanks.!!!
the truth is that I don't really need 4g at all.. I just like to have a complete device that's all. I don't use mobile data over here because it's terribly slow no matter what "g" they claim to have over here and I found it to expensive for what I get no to mention I'd likely only use it for text or whats app. I just stick with wifi. But I'll check out that article
and if it does indeed drain battery then there really isn't a compelling reason for getting it unless I was going to sell the phone to someone who would need data.
Hows that kindle app working out for you though?:laugh::good:
