I was looking forward to updating to flash 10.2 today but now I am disappointed by it. Games like Zuma and Bejewled on facebook is so slow especially the former. I only have one web page opened and I did restart the Xoom after the flash installed.
I'm loving it! i was able to stream March Madness game from CBSSports.com on WiFi without a problem.

Started watching this weeks Survivor episode on CBS.com too. Worked as expected - this is flash we're talking about, it won't pay your taxes or do your laundry.
That being said, I love the fact that I can do this on a tablet.
Ustream is completely buttery... already uninstalled the app and everything

Flash works GREAT on my xoom! no studering even with 5 web pages open! EVERYTHING works as intended!.
its flash...
It's specifically stated to see it as beta for 3.0.1 devices when you look into the description. It'll improve with future updates.

I have not been able to get flash 10.2 successfully installed. I've uninstalled and reinstalled with no luck. Any advice suggestions?

Anyone tried this with good results?
My results:
I use the free "device check disabled" version of the Netflix app, and it operates great on my stock unrooted DroidX. Watched entire movies over 3G with no problems. Works over WiFi too.
Got myself a HDMI cable for the phone to TV (less than $4 incl. shipping, from Amazon)
I've tried using the free "Xternal Display for Droid X" app to send output to an external HDMI monitor.
Works for a couple of minutes, then quits.
I suspect the "Xternal Display" app is getting swapped out by the Android OS, and that kills the TV output.

There's an app in the market called realhdmi that works I haven't tested it on netflix yet but it works great with youtube videos
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I purchased the hdmi app from the market. Afterwards Netflix started right up on my tv. No luck before that. It is somewhat of a pain to use. What you see on your tv is not what you see on your phone. Takes some time to get use to.
This makes the DroidX the smallest Netflix streaming device for a TV?

I've been using the same app and ut works it just randomly stops working alot and I have to reopen the xternal app. But you could try using the paid app realhdmi, I haven't had any issues with that

sorry, i think iphone 4 and ipod touch 4g are smaller, and officially support tv-out with component, vga, and hdmi (with proper cables/dongles). i wish my droid x officially supported hdmi out for anything useful.

I'm hearing real hdmi doesn't work under Gingerbread yet. Can someone confirm?
Also, under Froyo, has anyone watched an *entire* Netflix movie using real hdmi without any problems?

Realhdmi works on gingerbread as of a few weeks ago.
Sent from my DROIDX
Real HDMI will do the job, but because netflix is a mobile app, the picture quality is passable when it is highest, but not watchable if your connection slows and the video quality drops.

If you rent a movie though the market on your Rooted Moto Xoom and try to play it in the Google movies app you will get an error 49 (rooted device not allowed).
But if you go to www.youtube.com in the browser and login you can then play your movie.
I have done this process on my Rooted WIFI Xoom with 3.2. (Desktop UA string). Just thought I would share...
This will only work if you are connected to a network. So if you can tether or if you have a Verizon Xoom you should be good to go mobile. Or you can always use WIFI.
How many movies did you try it with?

just tried on my wifi xoom 3.1 with unlocked bootloader using the Bourne ultimatum (favorite movie) and it worked perfectly without a hitch.
this workaround will be useful until someone can figure out how to watch them in the movies app.

hmm... maybe if you did you tube sees the screen size in the browser and limits to 480...
im a newbie, so I apologize for the hand holding but can you please explain exactly how to view a Google video through the YouTube browser? I ordered a movie on Google videos and signed into YouTube, but where do I go from there? Thanks
if you type in"about:debug" (without quotes) in the browsers address bar you will get more settings. go to settings>debug>uastring and change it to desktop. then reload youtube and on the homepage there should be something like "don't forget to watch your movie" and that's it.

So to use spashtop one needs to be on the same wifi network as their desktop?
Or were you talking about splastop 2, or are they the same thing?
Spashtop2 is out on my pcs - but requires a login now with their services - blergh
i got it when it was on sale a cpl of weeks ago - its nice since you can not only play games but also use it as RDP which is nice.
You only need to be in the same network if you don't sign in - otherwise you can connect using your google account
Surely looks awesome!
How is the client on OSX, anyone tried it out?
its not available on google play yet right?

make sure you get the thd version if you're using a tegra device. It's faster good for games. Although you must be on a fast network for this to work smoothly.
I've been playing diablo 3 and it works but it's not the best for fps games since they require good reaction times. If you have a fast network then i'm sure you could play most games.

I currently have the non-THD version of the app so is there any advantage of getting the THD version if I do not plan on playing games (since I have ATI card that is not supported in full screen) ?

Who uses this app with there n4? What kind of set up do you use? Do you stream it to your tv? Reason I'm asking is I have been using it for awhile and I most recently started streaming it to my tv. It works well most of the time but I'm trying to figure out the optimal set up.

I steam from my sever using nfs. Have htpcs hooked up to other TV sets so I only really use it on my n4 if I'm in the small room or in the garden.
I currently run the experimental Gotham alpha with the libstagefright as it's the only build that comfortably handles all my 1080 content and anime with ass subs

How do the gotham builds handle HD content? Is it better than the final frodo build? I'm using a xaf custom build which uses mx player as the default video player instead of the xmbc player. With mx I can download a custom codec and I have options to use a HW decoder or SW one. This set up works better than the non custom xmbc app.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
They are similar except the libstagefright build enables hardware acceleration on the built in xbmc player. I only prefer this method over the mx player because the last time I tried a xaf build it would not handle .ass subtitles
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Ok. I will try it out. The frodo build did not have hW exceleration? Also the issue I'm having is it seems like any time I stream a video it starts off fine. Then after so long it becomes choppy. The phone gets really hot and stops charging. I'm assuming so the battery can cool down. I'm wondering if the choppiness is because of wifi issues, or thermal throttling occurring. I want to say it's the latter since the wifi connectio is really solid

Gave the alpha build a test run. Watched a couple of episodes of Game of thrones. Each episode I watched froze at some point and ended the stream. Playback was good. Progress is being made. So I decided to reinstall the xaf build and used mxplayer again. Used only hw excelleration . Phone ran much cooler. Had some stuttering but nothing crazy. Might of been wifi related.

Hmm very weird. The only times it has ever binned out of the app for me is when I'm scanning a new source into the library.
Everything else has been flawless.
In fact I'm watching a 720p game of thrones right now and it's flawless for me.
But I suppose if you have a different setup or method of streaming you could be running into bugs that I am not

So after using it for almost a week I'm more frustrated than anything. I constantly get booted out of movies or shows. When I fast forward to where I left off they never start. Just stay frozen. Im going between the frodo xaf build and the gotham build as one works better for some streams and vice versa. I use icefilms for most thing s. Is that my issue? It just seems there are so many possibilities and options and I can't pinpoint the issue. Also I'm not tech savvy enough to look into the code side of things. Any suggestions?
