Anyone out there streaming Netflix movies on your HD2? If so, how?
I would love to know this too... +1
If i knew how to even look at going about doing this i would learn and develop it. This would be a killer app!!! especially on our yummy 4.3 inches of pure awesomeness
There has got to be a way.. if we can watch previews, and adjust our Qs.. there has to be a way to steeem the movies to our phones.
Any dev want take this and run with it?
You'd need a mobile Silverlight player in a shell that tricks Netflix into thinking you're on an approved browser.
that would be sooo sick... i was so upset at the partnership t-mobile or htc made with blockbuster... i mean that's a dying company on the verge of bankruptcy... why??!! Netflix would've been the best choice... and it would've rocked my socks off
this would be the best app ever.
maybe just a hulu player that allows full selection.
I know they have netflix app for WP7
6.5 is not going to be getting silverlight
i wish someone would some how come out with app that lets u stream netflix.then it'll b fun to carry around a 4.3 inch screen phone.hehe

Maybe not. I'm running Firefox on my Win7 machine and to the best of my recollection, I haven't upgraded to SilverBlight despite the frequent nags. So there's gotta be a way, no?
HD2 and Netflix
My HD2 was rocking the netflix better than my wii and xbox the listings where fab but sadly after not checking for a few days i went to log onto my NF and watch some movies as i was sitting at the DR office to find...... there is a new version and you must upgrade...... then upgrade not found retry or exit
@ DraksFangs Do you have Netflix running on android or windows 6.5???

Must be Android. There is no working Netflix for Winmo. I had Neflix on my HD2 through Android too, and yes, since two weeks ago it keeps telling me new version, must upgrade and then, not found.
WinMo, no. But WP7 has it. I had it runing on my WP7 HD2, but I came back to Android and found out my Netflix app no longer works. Boooo

seems so expensive though... 300 bucks
Yea it is, I have the older non HD version which you can probably find on ebay for $150. I didnt buy it with the intention of using it on my phone, that was an added bonus. I travel alot and am a huge jets fan. with the slingbox i could watch the games where ever i was, and the only other option was NFL sunday ticket from direct TV - which i think is like $299 so it made sense getting one

makes sense I guess. The HD one really provides a good HDstream? I was wondering if you could record shows with that thing as well?
I dont know too much about the HD one, the regular one works just fine for me - i have a 47 inch 1080p HD tv that i hook it up too from my computer when im not home - gratned the quality itsnt the best but its more then watchable (expecially for streaming media blown up that big) . . . upsteam connections from my house are around 800k, and it uses all that is available which is stable for the most part.
I think i saw somewhere on the website something about a Hard drive and DVR functionality.
looks like there is some 3rd party software that lets you record from it.

Yea I agree skyfire is nice try but not really a feasible thing... especially probably not for VGA devices... Damn ADOBE GET WITH IT...
If Playon transcodes the stream based on pipe size or media renderer, you could easily get uPNP working by setting up a VPN. I haven't heard of many other media servers that will do netflix (at least not stable).
Since the G1 and now the mytouch both of which I flashed the Hero rom on, I just found my perfect business phone and this one could be a true Iphone killer and it has windows. I have not used a windows based phone since the dash and now the HD2 is making want to try it again. I live off outlook so that a plus but playing with the touchpro 2 I dont like some items, but like the Hero rich widgets, have you guys heard of anything?
Have you tried Androkidd 0.8, I installed it on my Pro2 yesterday and it seems good.

Cool, another Leo thread!
Since I posted this has there been any development on getting andriod on the HD2? Now that the Evo has come out I am hoping the process has been helped?

The developers have finally overcome the segfaults which previously prevented the Linux kernel from booting fully, meaning that Linux can boot fully, and Android is possible. However, the touch screen doesn't have any Linux drivers, meaning that until someone develops a touch screen driver from scratch, that Android (or any other Linux userland) is unusable without a USB keyboard/mouse plugged in .
The EVO 4G seems similar to the HD2, and it is reasonable to think that it may help in development of Android for the HD2, but it's actually quite the opposite. The hardware used in the HD2 is much different than that in the EVO. Besides the common appearance, the two devices are completely independent of one another, and the developers are mostly on their own. Just a small word of advice: don't ever buy a phone because of features that have yet to be developed, as there is absolutely no guarantee that Android/Linux will ever work fully on the HD2.
Leo is a great device, and it´s not outdated as it has the same or even more power than some newer devices.
WM is doing well on it because it´s fast processor
I agree withthe above poster. I think HD2 and WM have years left. Right now its the only phone I can do everything I want with, except HULU, which I firmly beleive will come. Heres what Android or iOS4 or WP7 will have to do out of the box for me to give up WM6.5
1. Play nice with my hava box for live TV.
2. Emulate PS1 game flawlessly
3. Play the PS1 games with a wireless PS3 controller.
4. Play any kind of video in existance thats under 2GB in file size with no frame dropping or quality loss.
5. Word, and Excel
6. a FTP program
7. Cut, copy, paste, and open with...
8. Streaming radio and play, OGG's, AAC, and other off brand codecs
These are my main concerns when I hear about WP7 coming. I fear we may loose all the killer software that has been build the last 5 years. Hopefully WP7 will have a compatability mode. LOL

Because we are the minority. those lovely features you speak of wont be present in most phone os going forward. Apple has shown that dumb down super simple phones are the way to go. btw I dont mean dumb down in the sense that they suck. What I mean is, we as a community are use to having free reign on what we do with our phones. The average user will do more harm than good with these features. With great power comes great responsiblity.
I like android! I havent seen a single thing that it cant do. Infact because of people like cyanogen its grown at record breaking speeds to be come a contender.
One of the best things about android is I have been able to install albeit modified versions of android on my g1 and my friends droid.
Now hes currently running froyo before motorola even has a chance to update it.
Thanks for the posts....I am using my Gen 1 Mytouch and while I like it a lot, its starting to be to slow for me.
I think the reason why I won't to windows is that I like the Andriod market a lot, being able to get a program , etc
But I am a windows guy on my laptop running outlook, office, etc and I am thinking it would be better for my business to switch to WM?
Maybe I need to research the market to see what I can get
Come on in the waters fine! With the snapdragon wimo 6.5 really pops. Its equal to or greater then ios4 or android. Once you get cookiemonsters app up, everyone at your work will be jelous of your phone. From comparing my multiple wimo phones with friend iphones and droid phones I can easily say once my rom is selected and phone is tweaked its actually much more stable then the other phones.
I was wondering what upcoming announced (and a bit unannounced) apps you guys are looking forward to have?
For me all I care about right now is:
Trillian for Android
WhatsApp for Android
and hopefully a real Windows Live Messenger app. One that allow file transfers like on WinMo/BB and I can atleast change my avatar.
Grindr.

It's a game I can't live without on the iPod - Jabeh.

Skype! Skype! Skype!
I'd love to have a WhatTheFont application on my Android phone. There is a version for iPhone (of course ).
I'd like to have a service like microsoft myphone

MyBackup Pro does that, I think.
A real WLM app would be godlike.
Trillian.
Skype usable on Wifi and 3G on any network.
Some more games.

NS Train time table thats stored on the device instead of the net.(Roaming 3G is a tad too expensive for me =P)
STEAM Community (Too bad this will probably never happen)
And finally something thats not really an app, Hotmail Live ActiveSync.

Would be nice if one big company would come out with an Android app before an Iphone app.....Android so much better than apple...oh well Android still in its infancy.....
Is it too much to ask for a proper port for angry birds on the Android? Doodle Jump's port was hilariously bad.
I guess Skype / WhatsApp is pretty good. helps me and my girlfriend saves some money.
but basically anything that needs to be paid on the market, i wants it. not supported in my country for purchases yet ):
Well, I got the WhatsApp Beta. So I can kinda like cross that off. Too bad I only got like 6 friends that use it

Heyguys couldn't find anything on search is there a way to watch Netflix on my gtab?
No app available...
Playon
I use playon. It works for me.
Another option
If you are mostly interested in TV shows you can do what I did and get TV Shows Stream. Try the free version first of course . The full version costs $4 but well worth it to me. I was really bummed about Netflix not working until I got this instead. It's great.
Susie
i also use PLAYON and TV Shows Stream. Best software out there for it. But I also do use Tversity
netflix IS working on an android app. i dont know when it is going to be released or what stage of development its in. i do know from reading around that netflix hired and put a team together of android developers.

From what I've red the main hold up is DRM. It looks like newer snapdragon devices will get it first because qualcomm has made steps to secure their processors.

So, i cam across this on a tech for old people article of cnet, of all places. but i was looking at it, and i'm curious about it. it looks like it could be a fun thing to tinker with, but is that even possible? It says it runs froyo, can't be too crippled because it has a web browser. Only has "AppsLib" tho, not the market.
Also i can't seem to find it anywhere online >_<
EDIT: wait a sec, has this thing even been released yet?
be honest I was looking at picking one of these up myself. The prospect of running Google music (I did get into that beta) and having access to all my music seems good. Alarm clock functions are also a plus. I imagine it will be root-able and someone will make a g-apps package for it. It has a front facing cam as well so it could possibly run skype, qik, etc. or if 2.3.4+ was installed, Google talk. The Chumby folks also released an android app that emulates a chumby device fully and connects to their services so you could use this as a chumby / Sony dash.
Once you have appslib, just download arctools and ta-dah! Instant LATEST market. As for being rootable, I think any Archos is. The only problem the 35 HC may have is lack of RAM/a slow processor...

Buy the 35hc perhaps as a toy and all is fine. basic email,fring,games. Please don't expect miracles. It's like buying a budget compact camera and expecting dslr quality.
