Good news everyone! Netflix finally has an app for android!

Thanks! This works great for me. I tried out a few different programs and everything seems to be working.
What kind of bandwidth does Netflix use on a mobile device? When I stream music I use about 60-70 MB/hour. I am wondering if this is something I can use outside my home or just when I have access to wifi.
Thanks.

installs fine, stream starts, but has the "chipmunk" audio issue (playback twice fast), as well as the green bar at the top issue. (P509, rom void#echo, with hwacc.)

Yeah.. some people have had this issue across different models of phone.
Personally, on CM7 from mik, it works fine for me. I wonder if it 2x on froyo and not gingerbread.
So far as bandwidth taken, I don't know yet. I have only done it on wifi so I haven't been paying much attention.

New Android market

Hello,
For new Android market that is rolling out now, will we will get the new Android market even if our phones have been rooted and have custom ROM on it?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

I couldn't imagine them doing anything specific just to (I'm sure only momentarily) annoy people with rooted phones.
If your market works now I'd say there's a fairly good chance the new one will as well. Although I cannot confirm it.

Yes, the new one works. I use it since.yesterday on my dhd.

Anyone else getting problem with it not showing your installed apps? Only showing 11 apps when I just counted I actually have 55 apps installed. Don't want to have to uninstall and reinstall all them just so they show up.

A restart and a bit patience sorted the problem.
Overall I like it. Would rather there was a my apps button on the front page but in not going to go on a murderous rampage because its missing.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

From what I can see it is a very data hungry application as it can take a while to fire up when network connection is on the slow side.

i still havent got the update on my dhd.
so there are different release dates between different regions right?

Ye, Google did say the update (which will go on your phone auto, so no need to go to settings and update) will be with us all between now and up coming weeks.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

i hope the version that goes arround is not the final one cause beside being very laggy it is buggy. it broke a market link of an installed ap while trying to update it.
also even though it showed me one app being able to update it didn't allowed me to. clicking on it brought me to the apps details page and there i could only open or uninstall it.
i could onlly update apps if i had more than one by clicking update all.
p.s. oh and not to forgot: the amount of traffic it causes is extrem! a multiplactive of the old one, as if they would not cache the images of the apps showcase on the front page.

Agreed, same problem here, uninstalled the update. Don't like the new layout, hard to find things.

I have uninstalled the update and gone back to the last version. New one is almost unusable on anything other than a perfect cell connection.

Same here but i guess i'll keep it as it looks great,just a matter of few days to get habitual of it

when i click on download in new market it is starting to download for ages
when i reset phone it download the file immediately

Am I the only one, who thinks the new Metro-look (WP7 like ) is ugly?

I dont see any slowness. The only thing that bothers me is the updates. With the old one you could see the updates right away. With this one not so direct.

Download manager problem...

Its very annoying that download keep fail... go and clean the app data sucks..is that fail problem only happened on me? Is there anyway for real fix for that??? thanks

It's a APP problem, not a kernel issue...
I have this too... I think after installing the chrome app...
Do you have the chrome app?

I've only had this happen while running Miui gingerbread roms. Which rom/kernel are you using?

I HAVE THE FIX. Go so settings>apps>all apps (you will have to scroll the bar over to see this option)>download manager (not "downloads")>clear data. Should fix it.

With gb miui, that only worked for one or two downloads, then the behavior would return.
Not sure which rom the op is running, but that was the case with some gb roms. Luckily, I've long since upgraded to ics and no longer have that issue.

Same here but it gets annoying having to clear data a few times a day

I agree, it sucks (I'm using ICS rom.)
I usally try to download using another browser(firefox beta) when download fails.
It is a lot better than clearing app's data.

I use 5 different browsers then download the file using 1 browser at a time. So far. Most of the time the browser that least use do the job. In my case Mozilla Firefox

I never understood why some people had those problems after the update and others had none. I wasn't one of the lucky ones either. Try the Revolution HD ROM. It's cleaned up stock so it looks the same but runs faster and has none of those problems. Everything just works.

Good question. The number of people having problems is quite small percentage wise though. I just picked up a pair of TF's from a guy on Craigslist for $200. After restoring them back to 100% stock, they've been up and running for a week now for testing, without issue. I'm about to flip them on eBay. I still use my TF everyday too, but not as much as I used to. My N7 gets used more now.

I had the sound bug and Google Maps crashing on me when I first did the update - and tried all the different solutions posted in the forum to no avail.
I know it's not what you want to hear - but a factory reset sorted all the problems out for me and everything works much more smoothly now.

Flashed reveloution Rom no issues so far

Try Team EOS 3 *JELLYBEAN* Nightlies combined with K.A.T. kernel and app. Works like a charm and no sound issues at all.

Hmmm. I never had to worry about the sound issue with Mike's ROM, but using Volume+ from the Play Store seems to have solved that same issue on CM10 for some reason, so you might give that a try. No idea why it's working exactly, but no complaints, either.

Get the lastest apk here:
Adobe Flash Player
You will need to side load so "Settings->Security->Unknown sources" must be checked. Then use any file manager to select and install the download flash apk file.
As far as how smooth it works I've not noticed any issues.
Good luck.

So is it like on the galaxy s 2

No Android device that has come out in a while now has supported Flash. This isnt the fault of the OS or Google, it is because Adobe has shut down flash for mobile devices. The web just needs to move on past this dead format so we can stop with these incompatibility issues on new devices.

There are two ways to classify a format as dead. The first is if the company who controls and updates the format ends its life, which is the case for mobile devices and how I classify something as dead. The second is if the format is technically still alive but hasnt been updated for quite a while and no one or almost no one uses the format anymore.
The fact that flash is not supported on 100% of new devices, has not been supported on 90% of devices released in the past almost 2 years, and the products that do support it have reached EOL to me means the format is dead. People who design websites dont seem to have gotten the message yet though about their incompatibility with anything modern and all future devices. Hopefully they will get with the times soon.
