Where is the netflix app for android, i heard it got released a few months ago but i wasn't interested back then, i am now though... so where exactly is it?
there's not one at this moment, it is still being tested for mobiles and i think only a few of the android tablets have it

it was announced as officially going to be released to a few devices at some point. there wasn't anything stated as to when it would be released.
aww.. well is there any kind of work-around?
The hell does anyone want netflix on their phone anyway. That's what my xbox is for...you know, the internet connected device that DOESNT have a 5gb data cap?

No work-around that I've found yet. You could always borrow someones HD7.

how would there be a work around if no netflix app has been released to any phone?

are you just wanting to pick a fight or something?
There's no HULU app... yet theres a work-around that lets you watch hulu.
It's a question, not a demand asking someone to make a work-around, and also there was a beta going around a few months ago, but a VERY buggy beta. I'm unable to find it.
Nevermind, imageshack sucks.
i tried the ustream work around but the ustream app is ****. now i just use my ipod touch and hotspot my vibrant to it. works great. now what i'm looking for is a throttle fix.
There is no workaround for Netflix on Android. Hulu was relatively easy since 2.2 & higher have adobe flash built-in and Hulu (like the majority of video streaming sites) is flash based. The Android flash player was basically hex edited to fool Hulu into thinking it was a PC and not Android by modifying a text string.

Netflix on the other hand uses Silverlight platform (Microsoft's answer to Adobe Flash) which doesn't currently exist for Android. Until Netflix finally releases an app or we get Silverlight on Android there is no way to watch Netflix.
Yeah there is a workaround. Download PlayOn from the Market.

Yep, Playon is the way to go to get Hulu, Netflix and other online content to your phone.

That IS bull.
I was watching Star Trek from Netflix on my Vibrant tonight using playon, without a hitch.
Give me a link, and I'll tell them what's up.
I wasn't watching trek but I was using netflix through play on. Only problem is you need to be connected to the play on server on computer....still limited though. Netflix isn't on any android devices...not until they figure a proper drm format..no DRM is the only reason it wasn't released when iphone got it.

Once you do the initial WIFI pairing it will continue to work on 3G and other places VIA WIFI. The app syncs to the playon server to get your IP address, if your IP address changes(the one given to you by you ISP) you'll need to re-sync. but I use it out and about all the time on 3G and other peoples WIFI without a problem, just a little slow on the initial startup, but hey it is a beta app.

So I have to stream content from my PC...
WTF is the point?
I'll just watch it on my PC's big screen instead...this really is stupid..If I'm at home why would I watch ANYTHING on my phone's little screen when I can just watch it on my PC or laptop?
I watch sports highlights, Family Guy (Fox.com) etc. on my phone when I'm on the road on 3G..but if I'm home I'm not gonna use my phone when my PC offers a wayyyy better viewing experience.
Playon is a waste of time and money. It would be excellent if it offered Hulu/Netflix WITHOUT having to stream from a PC.
Hi All,
I recently have encountered a huge issue. My phone is not rooted, and I haven't don't any modifications and any video I attempt to load from my shift, they don't load, and it says the video can not be played. This isn't only from the youtube app, bur from the G4 app, engadget, etc. Can anyone help me?

Hi all, I was looking at my shift, and even though it says it doesn't have video-out capabilities I see that the charging port is micro-hdmi. Is it possible to buy a micro-hdmi to hdmi cable and watch netflix and stuff on my TV?
That's micro-USB, not micro-hdmi. You use it to connect to your PC or Mac.

There is that samsung media streamer that got posted on the portal awhile back. That would be the only way I think, and it would require you have a compatible samsung tv. Or you might be able to use one of those google tv devices to stream from your phone (was that one of the features? I forget)
I use imedia share to stream to my samsung tv. Can stream things already on your phone but not netflix.

Don't think it will work for Netflix , but it does work for the other stuff on your phone. You can give THIS a try, see if it works for you.
I have a Galaxy S III, I enjoy my LTE. However, i'm thinking I can live without LTE. So i'm aiming for this phone. Will this be able to run FULL HD youtube videos and HD Netflix on HSPA+. I'm on ATT.
Should be in Q&A

MOD plz move me ((
There is no HD Netflix for the S3 or the Nexus devices. Its not supported. Only the Razor has HD Netflix.
My N10 is in the mail but I remember with my TF201, Hulu wasn't supported for several months. Can anyone confirm Hulu plus and while we are at it, Netflix support?
Are there any apps/services that are NOT working that you would have expected to be working?
Thanks.
Netflix is confirmed working, no clue on Hulu. But since it's Hulu, it could probably be awhile.
HBO go not supported :'(
