Netflix added atrix!

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

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

I'm running 1.57 with my 3/4g data testing at 1.8mb/s down and new netflix works great on atrix with good image quality.

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.

help with wifes epic!

What I am looking for is stock rooted gigerbread rom that has working wifi tethering. my wife's phone hasn't been updated because I rooted her phone and she uses barnacle for free tethering. i read that barnacle doesn't work on gingerbread. also Would be sweet if I could odin it. Have tried in the past to put custom roms on wifes epic and have had varied degrees of success. I have an evo running synergy so i am familiar with rooting and changing roms there but seems to be easier with odin on epic. Thanks for all of your help.

CleanGB BML or Legendary would work great for you. They both can be found in Development subforum. Read through the threads for each to see which one you like better.

You don't need a custom rom to tether. Just root and install the android-wifi-tether app

I've tried a bunch of different ones out and am in the same situation as you... it was rooted for the sole purpose of free tethering (and to remove the samsung bloatware).
The new cleanGB rom is the best i've used, not the fastest but everything works and has been perfectly stable. for tethering i use open garden wifi - this is no longer listed on my market but if you do a google search for it, you can install it directly from their website for free. that's the best/easiest/most stable tether program i've used.

Cleangb has wifi hotspot built in, and I thought it does usb tethering as well. No 3rd party app needed. Anytime an app is pulled from the market, you really have to wonder why, and be cautious DLing directly from their website.

it is in the market just they block tethering apps for sprint devices

wanted to say thanks for all the suggestions going to try clean gb.

+1 on the CLeanGB BML. I've had an issue or too fiddling with undervolting but other than that, it just works and looks nearly stock. I'm not a big tetherer but I seem to recall doing a USB tether a while back and Wireless Hotspot hack is built-in. It also included a few other "nice" hacks that I like. Alternatively, as was mentioned, the android wi-fi tether app worked well when I did use it.

The wireless hack works great, its been built into my roms for some time now. But occasionally I still have to use alternate tether apps, as things like my TouchPad can't see Sprint Hotspot for some dumb reason.

wow just came back on and saw all the responses. Thanks again but what i am looking for is a basic rooted gingerbread rom with touch wiz and sprint hotspot. any further help would be appreciated.

Search works well. Google is great from what I hear.

It has already been answered. There were several suggestions. Go to Development and pick one that was suggested and you will see they are exactly what you asked.

Is RoamControl fully working on the S4?

I was just wondering if roam control was working now on the Sprint Galaxy S 4. When I checked a few weeks ago people were still having issues.

I use it everyday flawlessly.

It didn't work for me. I had to return it. It would switch my radio off.

It is very hit or miss on whether it will work for you. Mine works so so. I hope that someday it will work 100%. I really miss the Evo LTE MeanBean rom that had force roam integrated into the rom and worked 100% of the time flawlessly. On the S4 it is kind of a .... hope it will work when I need it.

I'm running the 56015 PRL from here so I can get 3G service on Verizon when I go through a dead zone. I installed it a few weeks ago btw, I only installed RoamControl this morning.
So I finally rooted my phone last night and installed RoamControl this morning. So far it's working great - I'm able to switch between Automatic/Home/Roam and it's changing reliably. It's also much faster than my EVO 3D (retired 3 weeks ago) ever was but that's probably due to the faster phone.
I did have to reboot the phone, set RoamControl's phone selection to "None", set it back to Samsung S4, until it started working reliably. When I tried it just after installation it didn't do anything at all.

56015 prl and yes its been working great for me.

Does the phone need to be rooted to force roam?

Oh, my goodness. Thank you so much for this! I had been unable to get RoamControl to work since I got the S4, and went through radio updates and a few versions of RC. Simply setting the Phone Manufacturer to "None" and then back to "GS4" worked, and now I have solid control over roaming. Amazing...
EDIT: I spoke too soon. This technique got voice roaming/un-roaming working, but broke all data until a reboot... After which RoamControl was back to having no effect. What a bummer.

I'm running into the same situation: voice/sms are fine but data gets flaky or completely stops working until a reboot. I can live with that until the author can find a fix - my plan is to reboot after switching back to auto. I need RC infrequently so this is an acceptable tradeoff for what it can do.

FoxFi on AT&T after 4.3 Update

I'm still on 4.2 but other than the WiFi mode have you tried the USB and Bluetooth modes? Also, every now and then I'll turn my FoxFi on but it won't work - as in, it turns on but I can't connect. So I turn it off, turn on/off wireless, sometimes do a soft reset and turn it back on and it works. You might have to clear the cache/data and start clean.

Have you updated to 4.3 though?

I have the galaxy S3 on ATT. Foxfi was running fine on 4.2.2. When the 4.3 upgrade was pushed through, Foxfi stopped working. I went back to my S2 which I fortunately hadn't sold yet, until either Foxfi comes though with a fix or I can find a way to roll back Android 4.3

Two phones updated, FoxFi quit working on both phones.

On my s4 stock with 4.2.2 my bluetooth and usb tether barely work and are unstable.
I am currently trying to get it to work on 4.3 google edition because I don't wanna lose my MDL.
So far it's going horrible, but as soon as I use my s2 it works perfect. So lame....
Going to mess with the settings under 4.3 and then if no luck try the built in features in the rom.
Why not just use the rom? Because I love the fact that if the app works, I can carry it between roms and phones.
For the amount of money foxfi asks for and how popular the s4 is, they really need to get ontop of that and fix it. Seems like with every release things get worse or more unstable.
Nothing against foxfi they have been a great company in the past, presently they just are not on top of their game.
If anyone figures anything out let us know.

Stunning that this can't be figured out. While they specifically disclaim any guarantee of continuing functionality, you would think they would redouble their efforts and put out an update. I'm going to write support ([email protected]) and see if they have any plans or ideas.

I've rooted my s4 and added the tethering apk in this forum. Now foxfi works again. But not as intended (Un rooted)

[q] kitkat4.4.4 hotspot & tethering problem samsung galaxy gt n7000

Hi All,
I have install Kitkat4.4.4 recently. Everything is working great.
But only the Hotspot & Tethering not working.
On the phone I enable hotspot & tethering and the Icon came on but other device can't see or detect the hotspot.
Samsung Galaxy Note GT N7000.
Anyone please help.
Thanks
WH Ng

I had this issue with a wifi usb dongle & I had to go into the profile and manually add the device to have it be seen. But I couldn't get it to connect to that pc for some reason.
Its worked so far on the other 3 tablets I tested it on though. Are you using a cheap/ebay usb dongle by chance like I did and it wouldnt work?

Thanks for the confirmation here... I can't find my Micro-SIM adapters anywhere so I haven't been able to test anything that requires a SIM in my N7000 lately.
(The 4210 family is probably going to be getting dropped with L due to lack of maintainers.)
