Holy crap awesome!
Probably going to need some custom built security libraries though that won't be easy to port. The .apk itself should be easy enough as it's built for the Teg2.
And Netflix was trying to tell us that they needed protected hardware sandboxing for HD content. What jerks.

Porting it over seems unlikely. The Lenovo actually contains a physical DRM chip that's required for Netflix to run. At this point, it doesn't look like Netflix will ever appear on early Honeycomb tablets. Even if it does, it'll be a highly neutered version.

I just completed reading an article about that.
I guess with a little decompiling it might be possible to trick the new Netflix .apk into ignoring the DRM module.
If not, it'll be back to what I know and love: Piracy Arghh!

Isn't a little late for a Tegra 2 Tablet to jump in the game when Kal-El and similar chips are rearing its head for this fall? But these devices are going to be built well, I'm sure.

Thats an old rumor. They have been using software DRM since the official Android app was released. They just need to port it over to honeycomb.

Not an old rumor. They're using software DRM now, but only for SD content. Content owners are still demanding hardware sandboxing if you want HD content.
Piracy for me in the meantime.

I'll take a 480P streaming version if I can get it. Doesn't look too bad on the TF. The fact that phones/tablets on 2.3 can run the regular Netflix app proves that it's not impossible on a Tegra 2. If they use the hardware excuse for older 3.0+ tablets, then you know it's a cop-out.
But yeah, all this HW DRM crap for HD content sucks.

I can see it in the store and install it now on my Transformer, but whenever I try to play something I get an error.

We could install Netflix since the 8.4.4.11 OTA. Same issue with streaming though.

True that... I see that the Netflix app now supports the Atrix, which should be pretty much equivalent to the Honeycomb tablets (no DRM chip, Tegra 2). I'm perfectly fine with SD content on the TF, really. I currently use PlayOn for both Hulu and Netflix, and I'm pretty sure that never gets to HD levels but is still perfectly watchable.

I installed Netflix once it was visible (after the OTA) but today when I try to update it to the new version, I get "The requested item could not be found"

I found the new version and sideloaded it. You get the same error as before. If someone could dump the APK from the Lenovo, we might be in business.

Netflix is the last thing missing from my Transformer. If someone could get that working, I'd be beyond happy!

Lies! This is the same client I tried earlier. I downloaded and installed it just the same to try. I still get the 120001 error. I'm not sure what "some" Transformers they're talking about, but apparently it isn't mine (stock 3.1, latest updates, 32GB model)

It's working on other Honeycomb tablets. That's for sure.

Android Central have it working on a Tab: http://www.androidcentral.com/new-n...mpaign=Feed:+androidcentral+(Android+Central)

I tried loading it with wifi off and you can see it's just loading a webpage. The address is
https://uiboot.netflix.com/apps/mob...46&sdk_version=3.0&sw_version=1.3.0 build 246
If we could find the address for a working honeycomb tab, I bet you it would work on the Transformer.

Netflix added atrix!

Just read on phandroid and decided to download it on my rooted atrix and it played but with a green line. This was from the market. Any1 else with the same issue?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App

you should read the other 100 threads before asking this again, its a known issue its not optimized for the atrix on 2.2 unlock your bootloader and flash 2.3.4 if it will work fine then

Concur with last post. Netflix works great on HKTW 2.3.4! Just make sure you still have streaming on your account after the new price change.

Nice! I have been using it since I UL'd and using 2.3.4. Works great. I still just checked it on the Market and downloaded it so I can get the updates and such.

I tried it and still had the green line and ghosting as well. I am on 1.83. I did some reading and it had looked like it was still the old 1.2 version in the market. My thought is it should work with 1.83 as I'm guessing they haven't gotten the GB update yet to test the Atrix with. Or did they just assume and not test?
On a side note, after uninstalling Neflix my corporate exchange email couldn't connect to the server any longer. Could uninstalling Neflix have caused my issue or was it just a weird coincidence?

They updated just now the Netflix version. Looks like they updated the list of supported devices but forgot to update the app. That's now fixed.

This seems to be the case. I installed it and immediately had an update. I just tried after the update and it's working just fine.
FYI... I'm still 1.83

Yeah! Netflix working PERFECTLY under 2.2.2.

Yes I understand but u should read my post as well. Netflix added our phone officially and yes it works now on 2.2 without the green line. I just had to update it. Works flawlessly!!!

Awesome! I've been contemplating upgrading to GB just to get this but since it works perfectly on 2.2 It will make waiting for the OTA more bearable. Now If we could just get skype video.

I just downloaded it and im running 1.8.3 stock and I have no green bar.I don't even have root
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

Yep, it works now

Yay! It works... but it looks like crap.
At least on my Atrix it looks like crap.
I own a Atrix (AT&T) as well as a Droid X (Verizon) and I have Netflix running (from the Market) on both phones. Side by side the video on the Droid X phone looks nice and sharp without blocky pixelation and it's only a 3G phone. But the same video on my Atrix which is supposed to be 4G takes forever to load a video and then when it finally plays the picture looks terrible with horrible pixelation to the point where I can barely make out what it is I am looking at.
I am running stock FroYo on the Atrix without any tweaks. What is the deal with this phone? Is it the phone or the network? The Atrix shows 3 bars at my house (whereas my Droid X shows 4 bars) so it looks like it's got a good signal to the tower but the network speed is really terrible.
I was so excited to get an Atrix (since I have a tablet that has a Tegra 2 chip in it as well and LOVE it) but after owning this phone for a week I have to say I am beginning to regret getting it.

I haven't tried using at&t data...I just use wick and it is excellent

I'm running 1.57 with my 3/4g data testing at 1.8mb/s down and new netflix works great on atrix with good image quality.

Can't Wait
Awesome.... just keeps getting better and better!

It's not the phone; it's the network.
I've found out it's the AT&T network. When I posted my rant earlier I found by using the Speedtest.net android app I was only getting around 200kbps (yup, you're reading this right) downstream on my 4G Atrix. When I tried after 7 p.m. local time the speeds improved to between 1.2mbps to 3mbps. So, at the moment, the Netflix app is playing pretty smoothly on my Atrix.
This is my work phone (paid for by work) and I traded in my iPhone 4 for it because it's an android phone (friendly to rooting/customizing) and it's got the two things I've been waiting for in a new android phone (dual-core AND 4G). All in all I'm pretty happy with the phone (wish the screen was bigger) but really unhappy with AT&T's network.
My personal phone is a Droid X on Verizon Wireless which I've had since the midnight launch about a year ago and I've enjoy it rooted and on the Verizon's dependable network - I love this phone. But time moves on and they are about to release the Droid Bionic which is the first dual-core/4G phone on Verizon. I think it drops in a month and I'll be waiting in line to get it.

MAXGO

just incase anyone was woundering. MAXGO will not work on xoom either, which i dont think was a big shocker cause it was devl by the same people.
i removed device checker, and just like hbogo it FC when you try to login.

ahh man, you got my hopes up for a second there with that title... yeah no official maxgo, hbogo or netflix apps for the xoom.
maybe christmas...

Netflix works fine bruh...

Netflix works. Just pull it off your phone and side load it to your xoom. Works great! If u don't have android phone let me know if u need apk if u can't find it on here and il post the app
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

It seems strange that the best use case for these apps (Honeycomb tablets) seems to be the least developed... It seems especially strange that Netflix has the compatibility in place, but won't update the market's compatible apps so the app shows up when searching the market on a tablet.

Maxgo works well from the full site in flash. HBOGo however studders too much in flash to be usable. Like all here, I would appreciate a native app for Android supported on the Xoom. This continues to be a stick upon which Apple fanbois can use to continue beating upon us.

DROID bionic commercial

On the DROID bionic commercial it says anything that u download on your cpu is available on your bionic instantly. Does anyone know what program does that and can our ATRIX do that? Thx

Try asking the bionic forum. Then test the software out and let us know if it works with the Atrix.

I got the apk from a guy that bought a bionic and works great. You can view anything on your computer and stream also. You just have to setup a service on your computer. Easy to use, i have been streaming music and videos to my phone for a week or so now.

can you throw an .apk our way

beat me to it. thanks.

UPDATE:
Okay i downloaded it, installed it, and it works pretty well. A cinch to set up. Streaming works well -- I only streamed a video though over 3g, the quality was good -- comparable too SubSonic, however there are no settings to control the quality of the feed -- with subsonic, you can at least adjust the quality to get better picture or better streaming- depending on your preference.
I'll still use both -- since SubSonic gives me access to my library anywhere without the need of a mobile phone.
--------------------------------------------
I'll give this a shot --
for streaming from my PC now I use SubSonic... it works pretty well.. however the controls when streaming video is tough, since it converts everything to flash on the go.

Works for me. Wish it worked in both directions though.

You can get the newest version 1.1.1 from here: http://goo.gl/Fp2eB
This is the current version and the device check has been disabled. We even have a 1.1.1 version with working rotation.

Zumocast has horrible customer service/support, by the way.
I had it for my iPhone a while back. Lots of people complained about a certain issue on their forum and today, 3 years later, still no fix.
They would constantly ask for logs but nothing ever got done.

[Guide] Enable Wifi 5GHz Stock ICS

I noticed that I could not connect to 5GHz after updating to stock ICS. I mentioned this before in a thread and wanted to share with everyone else here. This requires root!
This is credited to Entropy512, I used his guide for the sgs2 found here.
I use Es File Explorer found on the Play market
1. Navigate to /system/etc/wifi/
2. Open nvram_net.txt and change the ccode from GB to ALL.
3. Save
4. Reboot
Pretty straight forward and should be easy for everyone.
For P7500 users and international firmware, check to verify nvram_net.txt_us ccode=US

Thanks.. working so far but i have to test it on 5GHz Access Point.
Will reprot later...

Thanks for this info.
This is, so far, the only reason I want to root my tab.
My tab works great. No problems with YouTube or anything else.
However, I have an Amazon Prime membership, and streaming videos is a chore.
I can get it to work reasonably well with some videos, but most are choppy, etc., the usual stuff.
I'm pretty sure it's due to the wireless access I have, an Apple Airport Express. It works fine for everything except Amazon videos.
The range is quite limited, and I think it's just not quite up to the task of streaming movies (a shame really, because it's otherwise been solid as a rock since I installed it in March. It was also a snap to set up even for me, who knows nothing about wireless).
I'm guessing that the new model Express, which has both 2.4 and 5, will give me the extra ooomph I need.
If not, I may have to bite the bullet and get a new router. I hesitate because the wired router I have works great.
Thanks again.

Since it did not help, you will need to inquire in your device section since this is for the first gen Galaxy Tab 10.1 (P75xx series). It might require more than the changes I posted for this tab.
