Netflix Official App-Anyone tried on Galaxy S 4G?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076150
I don't have the phone with my at the moment, so can't try.
Seems like it's very spotty as to which phones is currently works with.
Hopefully, someone can get it working on this phone soon.

Doesn't work. I've tried.

Bummer. Hopefully people will figure out had to adapt it to more phones shortly.

has anyone tried using SGS tools to change the model number to GT-I9020T?
I see that the apk works on the Nexus S

I will if you tell me how. I have SGS tools.

i changed the device to ro.product.model=Nexus S in the build.prop to spoof the netflix app but still receiving the device support error -__-

OK so I did that. It should work according to some other forums I read. I was able to download the app from the market.
For some reason when I log in though closes after I hit sign in.
Works fine on my g slate

Sucks to here this nice app did not work on that nice phone... it's a shame to see a low end phone like the G2 get it before the SGS4G ...
No issues here but I'm on a Nexus S 4G great quality on both 4G and WiFi ... I don't know if flash 10.3 has to do with anything ... Still it's a great app to finally have on Android

Rumors has it that Flash 10.3 has something to do with it, but it's also integration with the chipset itself that has a lot to do with it as well.

I guess I was one of those that skipped the netflix generation and went straight into online streaming. I use Amazon VOD for pretty much everything. No native video app those yet, just mostly use it on my google TV. I honestly don't watch TV or movies on my phone.

+1 on that. I tend to watch Netflix on my T-MoUS Galaxy Tab (just got it working on that platform) or my iPad if I'm remote and not at home.
It's really painful watching streaming video on my phone and I don't do that unless I absolutely have to.

Im currently in the process of testing a few things to get this to work on the GS4g. I was having the strange problem that the netflix app would go back to the home screen after I login.
I am editing the build props and trying a few other things out. So far nothing, but if I get it working I will post how to do it.

I did a little bit of research and it appears that we wont be able to use the netflix application at all unless we have gingerbread on our device.
So without a ginger rom we are out of luck, that is unless we find a workaround or they update the app anytime soon.
I came to this conclusion after looking through the Vibrant forums under the themes and apps section, they also are having trouble with the Application.

Hey guys don't forget the app was only released for certain phone models so most of us will probably need to use some work arounds.
Its working great on Tytung Nexus 2.7. If its not working for you, try this...
- Replace drmprovider.apk in system/apps with this file ( http://www.htchd2forum.com/android-...odes-android-app/?action=dlattach;attach=1284 ). It is the drmprovider.apk from the LG Revolution, which has the required restrictions for Netflix. (Don't forget to back up the original first, just incase).
- Change model name in build.prop to Nexus One (model approved for Netflix service)
- Install Netflix.apk from market (Link in post 1, old Netflix apps that have been floating around didn't work for me, just this one).
Restart phone and try it out! That did it for me, hope it helps on other roms. Good luck!
Props to poster of LG Revolution drmprovide.apk to the guys at htchd2forum, OP of this thread for Netflix.apk, my idea on the build.prop model.

Netflix workaround

I am a frustrated owner of a VZM Gtab and unable to use netflix, up until recently. I found an app on the market called Splashtop remote and it works flawlessly. The free version only lets you remote to your desktop for 5 minutes, but the paid version is on sale this weekend. The wonderful thing is it streams sound also. This app has got to be the best remote desktop software that I have ever used. I can stream my netflix for .99 cents, get it while it is on sale still. There is someone under reviews that says it runs so well he can play Aion on his phone, lol. I am in no means affilatiated with the creator of the app. I will attached a picture of full screen netflix being streamed from my notebook on my Gtab. Hope that will help some until we get an official Netflix app.

Hmm, it works pretty well. The only problem I have encountered so far is that it does not work very well on multiple monitor systems where the main monitor is not where the start bar is.
Good call, OP!

As I haven't been able to get any of the unofficial APK's of Netflix to run movies on my gTab, I was thrilled to see this solution and find it works! I just tried the Splashtop free version and it streamed perfectly to my Samsung Vibrant. Since the full version's on sale for $1.99, I think it's worth it even if just a stopgap until Netflix works on my devices directly.
However, the online market has my gTab grayed out and when I try finding it on the market app with my gTab, it does not come up in a search. Grr. I'd like to use this on my gTab until Netflix finally works directly on it.
I'm thrilled to be able to stream to my phone, though, still. Thanks for posting!

New Market working on MIUI and Cyanogen 7

Just wanted to confirm after testing that the new Market is working on both the MIUI and Cyanogen Roms.
Of course you can't watch videos [you can in fact rent, but not watch] on rooted devices.

Can you give a little more detail about what rooted phones aren't able to do related to videos?

Yeah. Rooted phones can rent movies/videos but cannot watch them. And getting a refund will consist of filling out a refund form.
So if you're rooted don't even bother going through the hassle of trying to rent a movie.

Personally, that isn't something I care about, but that's lame. I wonder why being rooted prohibits that.

I agree too, the Movies on rooted phones is bull****. As if I'm really going to open Shootme and record a movie at 2 frames per second and have my phone blow up halfway through the movie.
But where the hell did you get the new Market? I don't want to wait for Google to push it, it could take weeks.

It's available from a slew of places. Just look around.

I would use netflix if you really wanna see movies on your small phone screen.
The new market is very nice but I miss the carousel.

Have you seen the new pricing from Netflix? LOL
Sent from CBC.

The new market is cool. And seems a lot faster. It works on the ROM i'm currently using (see signature). Not being able to watch movies is something i don't really care about tbh. If I REALLY need to watch a movie on the go I can just use Netflix.

Good, you got a good solid phone. Some of the rest of us aren't so lucky. This is my 6th phone. My phone also does those things but I've constantly found it overheating, freezing, etc. This phone is a GREAT phone but unfortunately was pushed before the quirks were ironed out.
