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?

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

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.

I know this question has been asked plenty of times before but I have some questions that I just cannot get a straight answer to. XDA came through for me with my HD2 and I hope I can get some guideance again.
Backstory....I got my HD2 all androided up with 2.2, ran up to my local "Simple Mobile" Store (Im sure most of you know, simple mobile is pretty much T-Mobile in disguise) and I got my phone activated. Then to smah my dreams, I find out I cant get signal at all within 10miles of my house. Although the phone is amazing when it does have signal.
So now, Im Looking into going back to MetroPCS because I have full signal with them every where I go, and Im looking at the Droid-X as my next phone porting Victim. However I cannot seem to find one solid guide on getting everything working properly. Some guides say everything but apps work, some say apps work but no mms, Is there one rock solid guide out there that will cover all aspects? Obviously I would like my phone to act just as it would on VZW, or as close as I can get. Secondly, Will I beable to get 3G or not? Im pretty sure MetroPCS does not have 3G(Atleast in Daytona Beach, FL), but some people keep saying they do. Lastly, Since im pretty sure that the answer to the last question will be a big fat NO, what kinds of internet speeds can I expect with Metro's network? Will apps like Pandora and Youtube Work? If so I know they will be slow, but just how slow are we talking?
Also, as a side question, are there any 4G LTE phones that can be ported over from verizon yet? Metro doesnt have the best selection of phones.
Thank you to anyone who can shed some light on this for me. Im definately not a noob, but I'm sure as hell no expert either.
Sorry for being so wordy with my question
Edit: Also I have a friend willing to sell me a EVO for $100, Is it possible to get that phone working aswell, apps and all?

I have actually Seen the Guide for the droid X, and the first one you posted for the EVO. However I haven't see the second EVO guide that you posted, so thank you for that one, that answered the EVO question.
My only other question is; What (if any) apps Will not function on metropcs? I do not live in a EVDO market so I wont have 3G. Will apps like Pandora, Youtube, and google maps work? and if they do what kind of experiences have peole had with them, are they tolerable, or are they so slow that their barely usable?

Do you think it will even be worth it?
While I myself am a total VZW Fanboy, if you have constant access to WiFi (college campus), it wouldn't be so bad.
Personally, the hassle isn't worth it for me and I'd rather pay the premium for a reliable network, but for others, maybe not .
Interestingly enough I am seriously considering going to VZW. However I know they are going to require a deposit from me, but it's almost worth it for me. On a side note, this is for me and my wife, so if i do end up biting the bullet and going with VZW do you know if it would be one deposit for the whole account, or one deposit per line? ATT wanted $500 per line.
But in the mean time im still stuck with metro, and I have 25Mb/s internet at my house so im covers there, but unfortunately no WiFi at work.
I am currently using droid x on metro. With it upgraded to leaked gingerbread everything works except picture messages which can work but is a little buggy. You can follow the guid at Howard forums for flashing. You do not need U2LN or AUTOSTAT files at all with gingerbread and since metro dos not use a proxy anymore....

Browser is still laggy, the colour has changed indefinitely( I cannot tell if it's for the better or worse, really hard to tell without a side by side comparison, someone with two Nexus S devices should do a comparison and post on here), GPS locks within 2-5 seconds much faster now, G Chat video is lag free however I have not tested on 3g with another Nexus S device, still no Facebook sync support, and no Chrome syncing. Overall I believe Google was smart to make this a small update, besides the fact that they launched Mobile G Video chat, that would have been smart tl put on the next version of Android, but they treated it as such a minor thing. Still the update just fixed bugs and added G Video, next update BETTER fix the keyboard though.

I never seem to get H, but only 3G. I've just got this phone, looked up this forum, and upgraded to 2.3.4. On my previous phone (Desire), i used to get H at home, but only 3G now. Is this a common problem or just coz of 2.3.4?
You probably still get "H" but it's just showing the "3G" symbol. I had a Desire too before and my new Nexus S behaves just like yours, based on speeds I'm pretty sure to be on HSDPA though...
Thanks pullermann. Looking at the speeds, I agree that they look more like "H" than "3G". Was just a bit concerned..

The connection icon will say "3G" when you are connected to UMTS or HSPA. It will never say "H" unless you happen to be running custom firmware that has added that in.
EDIT: You can check network type by going to Menu > Settings > About phone > Status > Mobile network type. It will say either EDGE (2G), UMTS (3G), or HSDPA (also 3G).

Hecky hell balls....doesn't work with my CM7
I'm running the CM7 nightly from May 3rd (sorry, no idea what number that would be) and it's working fine for me. Some are reporting that you need to have the latest Flash update for this to work (10.3) and I got that this morning.
Hmmm I have the new flash....
Using nightly 75
Not sure how much of this will be useful but my full setup is: AMOLED, CM7 May 3rd nightly (think it's #65) (version 2.3.4), 4/19 incredikernel, and the 20110307 Gapps.
Yea the only diff is I am up to #75 hmmm
So far this app works perfectly, about damned time.
Still my favorite Android phone on the market (being partial of course, since it's the one I own haha)

Dear WiredPirate,
That file has the same problems as the earlier one. However it did recommend a show to me that I will just have to watch on my xbox.
It does still have the same issues as the previous version but atleast it does work. Not great but for a truck driver like me it comes in handy sometimes.
P.S. Thanks for posting the new version.

I can't post links, but on droid-life there's a post about netflix, and in the picture is a droid x2 playing a video without the green bar or the discoloration. So it would appear tegra may not be the culprit.
Had to uninstall/reinstall as it kept prompting for the update.
Did the update and unfortunately it still has the green bar and washed out colours. I believe it's more than just the resolution and has something to do with the Tegra 2 as others have suspected. Booo!!
It's not tegra 2, as it works just fine on other tegra 2 devices. It's the video decoders on the Atrix are not supported.
READ: NOT. SUPPORTED.
This is not Motorola's fault. This is not AT&T's fault. Be patient and wait for the required updates.
Also, there's already a discussion thread on netflix in the themes and apps forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14176110
Plenty of info there.
There's video of an Atrix running Gingerbread on briefmobile.com, the update also fixed the netflix issue as there's no green bar or badly displayed colors. So it's probably just a matter of waiting for AT&T to push out GB to our phones.

hopefully someone can get there hands on the APK and see if they can get it working on the Xoom
it's not going to happen.
yeah its not going to happen as this Netflix specifically works with Qualcomm snapdragon chipsets for its drm and probably decoding to. It has been cracked to get working on other snapdragon phones but no Tegra 2 device works with it. You'll just have to wait.
That apk that disabled the device check indeed does work on the tegra 2 chipset on my droid X2 so you would think it would be possible on the xoom as well some how. I tried that same apk on the xoom but get the error message that it isn't supported on this device. Has to be possible I'd think though.
My TF had a firmware update over the weekend and NetFlix does show up in the Market now and I was able to download it. However, it still wont stream the content. I am not sure why or what causes the Market to allow access to a Tegra2 device but it is there...
