Movies in Market (3.1)

So I updated with the rooted 3.1 and it's awesome, but when I got into the market, there's just the apps and books tabs but no movies tab. Anyone else have the movies tab yet or is this coming from the OTA and not the leaked one?

i think movies only works with a 3g xoom so far, the wifi xoom and tf may come latter
from what i read somewhere

This may be the reason you don't see Movies on your rooted device...

Google is blocking the movies feature from rooted devices.

They must be blocking it from non rooted devices too, because I have no Movie tab in my market after upgrading to 3.1. However, I do have one on my pc on the Web based marketplace.

I'm not rooted and I can't see the movies either after 3.1

It's not available on all honeycomb devices yet, but I'm sure we'll find out more when we can have in in the coming weeks

Wow, this is ridiculous.
I don't understand why Google would show something off at IO, then not follow through for other devices.
Real fail Google... real fail...

As per this engadget review of the upcoming samsung 10.1 incher
http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/08/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-review/
....Android 3.1 brings along widgets that can be resized vertically and horizontally, access to the newfangled Movies section of the Android Market, improved overall performance and support for a host of USB accessories. Unfortunately, the Movies department is only open for Android 3.1 tablets with 3G radios, hence, our 16GB WiFi test unit still showed it as unavailable. ......

Try going to the android market online using the stock browser. Movies for rent show up there.

When you choose an unsupported app the device does not show up in the download to drop down, I believe the movies will be the same way.

"Unfortunately, the Movies department is only open for Android 3.1 tablets with 3G radios, hence, our 16GB WiFi test unit still showed it as unavailable"
That's just dumb.

Why in heaven's name would you now allow Movies on a WiFi only device?

Stupidity Either that, or it's a ploy by the carriers to push people into overages and ever more expensive data plans, they can't do that if you're only using WiFi.

Netflix showing compatible in android market

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but today when I was browsing the android market through the browser I saw Netflix and went to it as my droid x is compatible and was going to have it send to that device when I noticed that android market had my A500 listed as compatible also. It sent it to my A500 and installed. It launches without any warning about non-compatible device. Though I get an error while attempting to stream. Anyone else get this also?

tryed looking up the netflix app 4 my a500 not showing for me

I was able to install the app from the market, but when I tried to stream it says,"Sorry we could not reach the netflix service. Please try again later. If the problems persists please visit netflix.com. (11000)"

I don't understand why they would rather have it working on phones first before tablets..I can't watch a damn movie on my evo 3d to be honest

i don't even see the app. I downloaded it a while ago and when I click the app it says this version of application is no longer supported (12008)
WTH the evo 3d has netflix now. I know this tablet is way better then some of the ones they support. Lets go netflix get your mind right

Try to Uninstall the previous version with titanium backup

I'll back it up with RootExplorer and try this out and see what happens. I'll let you guys know if it works on the N1....

Works on galaxy S2. Seems MUCH slower than the old market

Same. It works fine on N1, I did get an error at first but I got it working. Its slower then the regular market, but I like it overall.

The new market looks really good and works very smoothly for me.

Movie section of Market doesn't work with rooted devices
If your device is rooted, you won't have access to the Movies section.
Nice, Google, nice.

Working on rooted defy. Movie section is there. But not willing to 3.99 to test it. Someday. Running good though. Looks nice. Kinda reminds me of wm7

Working great on my N1... thanks for posting

I noticed that some apps vanish from My Apps in the new Market. I had about 4 apps to update in the old Market, two manual because of changed permissions. I left it as-is and installed the new Market. In the new Market, only the two apps without changed permissions appeared as updates in My Apps. The other two apps had vanished completely from the My Apps list. If I search for them manually they will still show up and I can update them though.

You may want to try clearing the data of the market app

Install the new market using the apk from android central.
I like a nice little improvement to the notification: it says "updating" instead of "installing" now
Yet, it is not performing fast enough... I feel laggy when using it. And the new UI looks like WP7 (though I personally like this new design )
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk

so it's not just me thinking that it's really laggy ... maybe it's not the final version?
or maybe we now need a Dual-Core Phone to use the new Market

It runs fine for me on the N1 most of the time. The only lag I've noticed is when it's fetching the icons for the apps on the Staff Picks screen or similar. When the icons have been downloaded it runs smoothly. I like the Honeycomb/ICS-like design.

Downloaded Market from http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/07/12/download-the-new-android-market-v3-0-26-with-support-for-movies-and-books/ I am not sure when it will go live in my country so Downloaded from there..I love it but Kinda fell Lag.I think it is new so might take few days/weeks to fix it over it is SO COOL on SGS2 but I have a Problem I can't see Movies Option I think Movies option is not Available in my country yet

Yeah, movie section doesnt appear on my market using MIUI Rom.
Anybody else having issues with Facebook since switching markets? Logic says it can't effect of but since I updated the market, Facebook won't load. Happened immediately after installing the market.

don't be so quick to yell at google for blocking movies if you're rooted
it's pretty clear the movie studios wouldn't give them the licenses for the movies unless they blocked rooted devices
i mean, i'm not agreeing with the studios. cuz are they REALLY worried people are gonna ****ing steal ****ty low res videos off their cellphone? there's SO MANY other(better) ways to pirate these movies. but whatever

[Q] um...Netflix?

Installed CM7, then Netflix from the market. All it does is add to my instant que.
Does netflix not work....or am I seriously brainfarting?

I have CM7 installed on my KF and have no trouble with Netflix. In fact, that's on of the reasons I bought my KF. Movies que up and play just great. I've been watching a lot of old Sherlock Holmes movies...on my KF, iPad, Galaxy Nexus, and several TVs.

There are a few apps out there that just let you manage your Netflix queue. Are you sure you downloaded the full fledged Netflix app?

Are you using the correct Netflix app from the Android market?
This is the official app:

On cm7 its working if you can't find it just use the amazon app store

After Dexter Mod, Google Play doesn't allow purchase

Just completed the Dexter Mod to allow Google Play on my A7.
All appears working fine, except that Google play will not allow me to purchase any apps. I get an Error ("An error occurred, please try again"), everytime I touch the price button on any app or music.
I've rebooted the device without clearing the issue.
Any ideas?
Oh yeah, this device is not on Googles list of supported devices.
Thanks

Update - Still no joy. Free aps download, but cannot buy
I decided to try to re-do the mod.
I first went to Google and deleted all my accounts.
I did the Dexter mod again from scratch and set up a new Google Acct after the reboot.
Going to Google Play updated the Android Marketplace to Play Store on the tablet.
Using Google Play I still cannot buy an app, but I can download a free one. There are only two apps listed anyway. Missle Command which I cannot buy for $0.99 and 8Track, a music app which is free and downloaded fine.
The first time I did this there were a bizillion apps available, although I could get to none of them.
Any ideas here?
***** Another Update: I discovered I can buy apps using Play Store through my PC for the A7 which upload fine, but still not directly thru the A7

Another Update: Success
Seems like after waiting a while and not using the tablet's Play Store, when finally returning, I have a full list of games and apps.
I also just successfully downloaded a free game (Angry Birds Space) directly from the A7.
This is good news!
I had read elsewhere that on another tablet (Samsung, I believe), ignoring the Play Store app on the tablet for a while would eventually alloe it to work properly.
Seems like that's the case here.

Wow, quiet group here! Lots of views on both of my current threads and not a single comment. I know everyone was just waiting for me to figure it out myself ;<)

Dexter has more than a dozen Mods for at least 3 OS on at least 6 platforms. Probably that is the reason that no one replied ??

I haven't been in this forum in a while just pop in once in a while, might find better help for the a7 at tabketroms.com, but any ways have you tried clearing the cache and data of the google play store in your settings?

Thanks for the recommendation on the other site. Everything works fine, but the device is listed as not supported by a great majority of the apps. It's kind of a worthless tablet, at least it was free.
