Netflix latest update

I just downloaded netflix update from today and it works with no chipmunk effect!!!!

Are you on a stock rom?

I just installed, no stock rom and it's working flawlessly, my dell just got that much better

I can't find netflix in the market? I have the latest version installed already, not that it works or anything.

Running stock rom

IIts not in mkt try adroidheadlines.com and look for article from today I was so happy for it working and got in a hurry!!!

You mean "androidheadlines.com" ?
Helps to have a few missing letters in there !
Edit: Hurray! I can vouch that I can now get Netflix on my Dell Streak !!
Sound is normal, movie plays smoothly !
I am on stock Froyo 2.2 with Rogers, unlocked and using Telus SIM.
Finally a worthy use for my 6gb data plan !
Thanks OP for this gem of a discovery !
Note that this is NOT on Market. You have to download the APK from the link in the article at the website above.

Or you could get it from the thread here at XDA that was started about four hours before this thread. It's in the Themes and Apps area.

Yep works perfectly and not to bad over 3g.

works great without chipmunk sound and without shifted color.. changed my build.prop file back to Dell Streak, Dell Inc since you no longer need to root/edit the build.prop file

Stock Streak 5 NetFlix now working
I have a factory-unlocked, unrooted Froyo Streak..... Last month, I had side-loaded the NetFlix app (version 1.2.something), and it would take me to NetFlix & I could log in, but would not play any videos (player screen would go black for a second then it would immediately take me back to the NetFlix search screen). Yesterday, I finally uninstalled that version and installed the newer version from XDA (version 1.3.x I think it is), and BOOM.... it's working like buttah! Thanks all!!

Market saying I purchased an app, but I didnt

I went to download tapatalk from the market, but it says 'Purchased'. I haven't used this app before and cannot purchase/install it because of this.
Any ideas what I can do to solve this?

Try clearing market data.

This only ever happened to me when I used a pirated version of an app first, then tried to buy it. I like to try the app before I waste my money...lol...I can't remember if doing wat mentioned above worked or not tho.

had the same issue with swiftkey. it says i purchased it, but i didn't. but i could install it anyway

Try disabling automatic restore, and then clearing market data and cache to see if that helps.

Lol, I installed a pirated apk of Tapatalk, I deleted it after a while and I went to Market to look for apps after I rooted my phone, it told me that I had purchased it even that I didn`t but it still let me download it D

Huh ???? !!!!
I find it hard to believe Android paid app security is done on the phone !
I can understand perhaps the Market app getting confused, but that shouldn't let you update an app that was installed as a pirate version.
I develop apps and I've never been able to update my paid app from the Market after "sideloading" my app.
And customers who bought via Paypal outside of the Market are never able to update via the Market.

I know, but I didnt even have any credit card registered, ive tried the same thing on other apps but it doesnt work, i dont think that it was because of the ROM that I got it free but maybe an error occured at that time or something

Tried everything mentioned here. Even after flashing a new rom, it still says I purchased it. Even if I go to market.android.com on my laptop, it says I purchased it, but does not allow me to download it.
I downloaded a pirated version of the app so I could try it out for more than 15 minutes, I liked it so I went to purchase it, but with no luck!

Try to unchain the app from Market using Titanium Backup, then try to purchase it once again.

Try to downgrading your Market and then purchase. I did something like that with a app.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium

The only way it will work is if you create a new gmail account. There is NO other way, no matter how many times you clear data, or use Titanium to remove the app or downgrade market, it will always say you purchased.
Market enabler will also not work.
EDIT: Try this though. Flash the ROM, and when signing into your gmail acc un check the box that says keep this phone backed up with my google account. Do not restore previous backups.

I recently emailed Android Market Support Team, I had exact same issue. This is what I got in reply.
Hi Michal,
Thanks for writing in and for letting us know about this issue - we're aware that some users are seeing apps as "Purchased" but are getting a "Download declined" error. We're presently investigating this issue and will update you as soon as we have more information. I may be requesting further information about the circumstances of this issue, and I really appreciate your continued patience and cooperation in resolving this situation. If you have any further questions, please let me know.
Best,
Lynn

@Desire HD & CyanogenMod

Same issues here
Hopefully this gets resolved soon!
Been itching to play Order & Chaos... tried installing a "cracked" version a while ago, didn't work too well on my phone then. Now I have the Samsung GN and want to give it a try... says 'Purchased' and gives me that error

I have the same issue. This has especially been happening with Market v3.4.4. If you sideload an apk then sometimes Market registers it with your account as purchased but when it tries to access the app it declines as there's no actual purchase. I emailed Market support and got the same reply. It doesn't happen with all apps but with a few. It's quite a random occurrence. No way to reproduce it each time and no way to fix it from our side. It's a Google side issue.
Also, I'm not very sure, but I've experienced this problem with a few apps distinctly after restoring a backup using MyBackup Pro. Maybe it is something to do with batch restoring Market links, when you include apps that you haven't downloaded from Market. During regular usage of my phone, even with sideloading apps, I haven't noticed the issue repeating with any other apps. I only remember it happening after a restore.

Have the same problem with Swiftkey x. Shows up in the market as purchased when it wasn't.
But as I really like it I wanted to purchase it properly, but can't thru the market.
I've since purchased it thru AndroidIt App.
So all good now but any updates have to be done thru AndroidIt app as the market still says I've purchased it then says can't download cause i haven't purchased it!!!!
Pep

I have the same issue with Cut the rope and Mincraft PE. I want to support the developers and get updates but now I can't!

I've experienced the same issue before... but I was able to purchase from market.android.com site.

Registered just to say how i solved the problem of Swiftkey X on my galaxy ace. I uninstalled market updates, in manage applications, then go directly to Android market and purchase it, make sure the Market app doesn't automatically update before you try.

[Q] Hulu and ICS

Has anyone gotten this to work at all, everytime I use the Hulu plus app which worked on CM9 and earlier versions of ics, it stops playing the video prior to going through the commercials to get to the show

Are you using an ad blocker? If so, disable it and try again.

I havnt installed any, unless it is pre installed in the Rom or somewhere else

Has anybody gotten the Google Play update yet?

For some reason, my tablet hasn't gotten the newest google play update yet. My samsung galaxy player has it. Is it just me? I am still running honeycomb.

You must have Android 3.2.1, the marketupdater is in that version

I know this doesn't have input to your question, but why have you not gone to ICS yet? Just curious...

Got the new market today.
And, yes, ICS is the way to go. Don't let the bootloader talk worry you. It is a fairly straightforward & well documented process. Your tablet will thank you for it.

I downloaded the apk yesterday. No big changes other than magazines

I got it today, I am excited to buy a couple of movies!

In Belgium we can't buy anything from the play store

Which part of Belgium are you living in?
Tax-paying North can do so without a problem. ....
Marcher

In Flanders, the only thing that we could buy from the play store are apps but no books or movies etc.

Well I finally got it, I don't know why it took so long....

Rooted can not play Movies :(

I think I am stuck but I wanted to make sure. I have done searching but all I can find is older posts. I just got my Nexus 7 and I installed CM10 last night. I just got the movie Ted and I got the digital version but it can only be played through Flixster / Ulterviolet. When I try to open their apps it see's my phone is rooted and will not allow me to play a video.
Is there any way around this? Would like to play Movies on my Nexus 7 but trying to figure out how to do it.
Thanks for any help.

thats their security, so no one will steal their movies. you can use google play movies. root, no problem

Well That stinks. Wish the was a way to use the OTG cable and not have to be rooted. I just do not want to have to pay for the movie again in the play store.

You can attempt a temp unroot, or see if somebody has released patches for those apps.

I had exactly the same issue as you did and I solved it using multirom. My internal Rom is rooted and one of my additional roms is stock google unrooted. When I want to watch movies i boot to the stock rom and I can watch films from flixster and guess what I also have Ted! Multirom is awesome.

In searchig on other places then XDA I found this on Droid Forum. Might give this a try.
OTA Rootkeeper. Use this app to "hide" root from other apps. Then unhide root after watching movies so you have the advantages of being rooted. Might try this first.

I tried root apps and they failed. I use sky to stream tv and whatever method I tried to hide root the app always came back with your device is rooted. flixster may work with root hiders. Good luck!

Ok just did this on my Infuse phone to give it a try. Both my Nexus 7 and Infuse are running CM10 roms. Flixster did not work with it rooted in my phone. I used OTA Rootkeeper and did the temp root on it and it worked on my phone!!!! Hope this will work on my Nexus 7 tonight. I do not see why it should not. This is perfect!

Yes I think it worked for me on flixster but some other streaming apps will still state root. Enjoy Ted!
