Netflix instant streaming...

Anyone know if we'll be getting that ability? I know the iphone had it, makes me jealous haha.

Netflix did have a job posting earlier in the year suggesting that they were looking for an Android developer.

Rumor has it Netflix will have a streaming Android player soon, hopefully very soon.
For now we'll wait. I wish they just used flash instead of the special plugin they require. If you change ur UA String to desktop and try to stream a movie, it asked you to install their silverlight plugin.
Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!

haha wow really. Now i just need an app that sends a message to a satellite and then it sends a laser beam to scratch my ass... (got it from a movie)

Google TV is going to support netflix is it not? and that is just android

I believe the Netflix support is because of GTV has Chrome built-in and has the tools necessary to play it. There's an Android app in dev that targets mobile phones and tablets.

its coming give it a few...im sure it will have a better ui than the one on the iphone.

Soooo amped for this. The "workday" will be so much more fun now...lol

Question about streaming. Does 4G affect streaming audio/video or does it just affect downloading/uploading a file(s)?

Figured this would be a good place to post this, but is there a good Netflix app to just manage my movies and such?

Have you tried PhoneFlicks or QueueMan? I use PhoneFlicks and it works well, I've never used QueueMan but have heard it works well too.

It'ss pulled from appbrain sometime since yesterday. I personally was hoping for a review before I spend $9 on it.

I'm calling BS on that app. For instance, Why does he have it priced at 4.99 and 8.99

I'm wondering if it worked. It was pulled from the market in 24 hours or so.

360 live app gone!

So I paid for the app among how many thousands of other ppl and Microsoft decides it wont allow 3rd party apps to gain access to an account that we the gamer/consumer pay for and google does nothing but pull the app or apps from the market and issues no refunds what the heck is that about ...its not about the money its about the poor business practices and the lack of protection of the consumer

I use an app called XBOX Live Statistics. It's nice because I can see if my friends are online or not, and I can send them XBL messages from my phone. It's a little slow, but worth the load time.

Its the fact all of us who paid for an app can now no longer use it and we got no refund from the dev or google but everyone will cry like babies about pirated software and protecting their work well im saying what's protecting our (the consumer) money.

I have paid for both apps and now I wont get updates to any of them... Nor will I get a refund for either of them. I dunno who I am displeased with more Microsoft, Google, or the app Devs

I also payed for this app... I got a bit pissed off when I noticed it wasn't available anymore

Absolutely not the devs or Google. Microsoft is at fault here. They disabled access and there was nothing anyone could do about it. Google could have given you the money back but you shouldn't be mad at them.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk

I didn't even know about this. I have xbox live statistics. Is the app no longer working? I haven't checked it in a day or so, but have a widget that treks me if I have any messages or how many of my friends are online. This is a real bummer and I hope the consumers show enough outrage that they allow access once again. This affecting other mobile platforms as well?

Yup that's exactly why these apps are useful. No need to keep booting up the Xbox or load the bloated website.
Removing access is not cool at all.

Buy a ps4 like iam going to I was a big xbox fan and I still like my 360 and xbox1 but after 4 POS 360s I will not buy the next xbox! And I did not buy win7 becuz M$ riped us 360 owners off with defetive ****y hardware! M$ really Sucks it all started after Bill gates left

They only pulled it because it cost money. Had it been free it would have stayed. That's their policy on the iPhone app store thus I assume the same thing here

Netflix App not supported for Thunderbolt...

Wow... Netflix App just showed up in the Market...
Supported Devices:
• HTC Incredible with Android 2.2
• HTC Nexus One with Android 2.2, 2.3
• HTC Evo 4G with Android 2.2
• HTC G2 with Android 2.2
• Samsung Nexus S with Android 2.3
Incredible and EVO 4G, but no Thunderbolt???
That's frustrating to say the least...

Your link is broken, and I don't see the app in the market. I call bull****. Besides, it was already announced that only 2nd gen snap dragon phones would get netflix? The Incredible and Nexus don't fit the bill. Hope I'm wrong, I can pickup an Incredible on craigs for nothin.

The link works fine. But it says that my Thunderbolt is "not a supported device."

The link is broken because of the http and https mashed together at the beginning. If you remove the https it works fine. It is definitely disappointing but I imagine they'll add support for the TB eventually.

Maybe you should put a minute amount of effort into search before you crap on someone. Now who has egg on their face? That's right you do...
http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/12/netflix-releases-android-app-for-select-htc-phones-samsung-nexu/
I wonder if changing the device ID is enough to fool the netflix app... I hope someone here figures it out...

Based on the permissions this app requires, it probably reads the build.prop file to determine which phone you are using.
Any way to trick the app into thinking we're using an Incredible or something?

I'm with you on the 2nd gen Snapdragon thing. Everything I read about the LG Revolution said that it could only run the Netflix app because it has a Qualcomm MSM8255 (same chip that is in the T-bolt).

so wait my girls one year old evo can play netflix but my brand new thunderbolt cant? Really watching windows 7 man.

somebody pulled the apk but it still does not work on the Thunderbolt. The apk seems to look at the phone it is on when loading. I dont have enough post to post a link so edit the following.
www multiupload com NPZ062QIZB

what happen to all that drm talk?

Give it some time. This is what Netflix says on their blog:
The Market download will initially be available only on select phones that currently have the requisite playback support. We expect to quickly add to the number of phones that can download from Android Market as we work with ecosystem partners to expand playback support.

It only makes sense for them to first support phones which have been out longer, and have a larger installed base.

Can it be that the reason the Thunderbolt won't be sporting Netflix is because Verizon had blockbuster preinstalled?

Oh also, when I first saw the news i flipped and almost had an aneurysm from the awesomeness. Then I looked at the supported devices list and almost had an aneurysm.

Rooted Devices Blacklisted from Google Movies.

Google has recently responded to a unhappy customer that was unable to view his rented movie "March of The Penguins" and has responded with a response that will effect almost everyone here.

As he said though just rename su to mu. Though I can kind of understand where Google is coming from seeing as I have had about four cease and assist letters for movie piracy.

What good does renaming it do.if Google Movies doesn't even show in the new version of Market? Is there a different version than the one I linked to?

I see what you're saying, but if this were truly the case shouldn't Google be doing anything they can to provide media content in a legal manner to all of their customers? Yes, I've rooted my phone, and I would have gladly used the Google Movie service, but since they won't let me, I guess I know how I'll continue to get my movies... If anything this move pushes users back to piracy.

Lmao really? So because I have Google movies (which cost) your happy U didn't root? I have 87 movies between three sd cards but I have zero idea where I got them . Stock? Never again

moss and favre are gone, you mean worst NFL season ever?

The hacked version should still work. Does it not? I'm not a football fan but I downloaded it and couldn't figure it out. But hacked is hacked right? The APK is posted here on XDA (somewhere) so ideally you would be able to download that and install it.
Or does it not work anymore?

Unless they hacked it again, then no it doesn't work anymore.
Verizon figured out it was being hacked and sent out and update to the app mid season and it blocked all hackers including myself.
Best app ever and I miss it and hope someone can get it to work again.
And no I ain't going to Verizon just for the app.
