Netflix has vanished

I can't find netflix on the market anymore. anyone else having this issue? I'm guessing this might be an isolated incident. I've had a couple market issues since flashing synergy 6/1 but I thought I had squashed them.

I'm pretty sure that it's due to it not working on the official Gingerbread release. I updated my wife's unrooted phone today, and Netflix stopped working. It would start the stream, but it would stop and then go back to the queue.

I just checked market and sure enough, its gone. Maybe good news is just around the corner for us who havent been able to run it.

I just called netflix their words were "Near Future" Which means yes they will fix sense 2.1

Very cool. Thanks for making that call. Thanks button mashed.

I wonder why they would take it off though. Why not just release an update when it's ready. Hmm. Oh well.

Because it would reduce call volume if people thought it was gone and new users wouldn't even know it existed.

The new version will not work with rooted phones

I see. That makes sense. Makes me happy! The only draw back to this rom has been not having netflix. Hopefully that will be remedied soon.

After speaking with my Dad who didnt even know there was a Netflix App, decided to download it before it disappeared and the Market said that his EVO wasnt a supported phone. I am under the impression that Netflix dropped support for both 2.2 and 2.3 on the EVO until they can fix it for both.

hmmm i still have it in the market but heres a change
Currently Netflix playback is supported on the following phones:
• HTC Incredible with Android 2.2
• HTC Nexus One with Android 2.2, 2.3
• HTC G2 with Android 2.2
• Samsung Nexus S with Android 2.3
• Motorola Droid with Android 2.2
• LG Revolution with Android 2.2
• Casio G'zOne Commando C771 with Android 2.2

There is no proof I called the source directly has to do with the new update.

I noticed that, and trust your input. I'll never understand why some people just post stupid crap like this guy did. If I'd noticed it was his first post I wouldn't have bothered.

I have an older .apk for the NetFlix app and when I install it and open it, it tells me I HAVE to upgrade to continue, then searches the market and says requested item cannot be found, click OK and right back to the you must upgrade screen.. so it appears that the NetFlix app is gone completely for the Evo until the fix the 2.3 issue. Can anyone else confirm the same?

I noticed that too! This really sucks ! Now what am I going to do at work? Maybe its time to introduce ubuntu to the work place

why wouldn't it work on the new update? it works on cm7 and thats running 2.3.4 -.-

Have you tried running it recently (since the update?) Possibly if you were lucky enough to have the last version they had before they pulled it for the EVO then maybe it will still work for you, but the older version I have doesn't work.

I have the last version. When I tried playing anything it would load and say that netflix had not been activated on my device. Not that it worked to begin with, but that message is new to me.

Guys server side Netflix has pulled support for our phone until they fix it. It will not work on any version

Google Talk Video Chat - HTC Sensation

Does anyone know if this works and I am just not seeing the video icons in my friends list, or if this is prohibited with the Gtalk pre-installed on the sensation.
IF the latter is there an open APK that will allow this from another forum perhaps?

Official app only works in 2.3.4

only bad thing about VTOK is when I had it installed it never shut off & drained by battery quickly. Even with the screen off, it was always using the CPU & keeping wifi on. Signing out of your google account didn't shut it down either
I've emailed the developer but still haven't heard back after a week.

On my galaxy tab I am running the Overcome 2.0.1 ROM which is a Gingerbread 2.3.3. The version of Google talk pre-installed with it does video chat. Perhaps there it a way to extract the APK from the galaxy Tab and use it with our 2.3.3 phones?

I could be completely wrong on this, but...
I believe that the Talk app is installed into the system folder and therefore we'd have to push the replacement file into the system folder, which we can't do right now?

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G

Hi guys,
What version of Talk actually works on the Sensation then? I have insertcoin 3.3.9 which gives me android 2.3.5 with 3.5 sense but i cannot for the life of me work out how to get the video icons on my contacts. I have tried everything and still nothing as even tapping on my avatar does not give me an option to enable / disable video.
Anyone know what i need to do?

So far it's been working for me with most of the versions of InsertCoin. Just make sure that the contacts on the side has enabled their option to receive video calls.

Hi,
Do you know what i need to do if i want to use the back camera during video chat? There is no rotate funciton in gtalk like there is in Honeycomb

Skype now allows video calling

Desire S owners get it in the market now.

Wow! I just updated.. works great!

Yeah! Works fantastic! But I think the sound is a bit weaker comparing to the old Skype. Anybody noticed that?

I saw this on engadget. Our phone is one of the selected 4-5. AWESOME !!!!!!!!!

I found that the camera quality steaming its not so good, but i guess its for getting better speed

1) New version crashes at restart (process skype.raider)
2) How to turn off Skype ? - I need it to set it only working when WIFI is active.

Finally... Now desire S is a real iphone 4 killer. Just tested new skype (24 min. of video call to other country using wifi) and this thing works sweet. No crashes, other party video frozen just once for about three seconds. JOY.

Great about time tbh!

no crash here, works fine.
to quit go back to the main skype screen, then press menu and you have the option

Tried it extensively today, works fine, apparently the image at the receiving end is lovely and sharp

It worked really well for me too.

Video calls no longer working since the last update. The options are greyed out in settings. Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Premium App

Actually, the desire s could already do video calls before most devices! Just the new update unlocked the functionality for the thee devices

Works like a charm. You can actually use it to update Facebook and Twitter which is kind of neat. One up on Siri at least.

I'm really liking it.. but I find the voice sounds like a really tired old person. Any way to change that?

It worked once for me. Now I just get errors that it is down. I'm one the 1.83 leaked version.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

works fine for me. is there anyway to activate it besides clicking the app icon? I tried saying 'hi galaxy' but it doesn't work
Update: some features don't really work like when you need to set up an alarm or save a memo. I guess it's because we don't have exact apk for the s voice to pull up.

It works for me. But there's a long delay each time it tries to process anything.

How's so? Don't you need install it in /system/app/ ?
I think I have frozen too many things, because svoice is getting FC after few seconds after start...perhaps text to speech?

I running stock just root access on att hox. I installed just like any other app. I got only one fc from asking it to play music. Navigation worked like a charm.

Got it working, but nowhere near as smooth or accurate as Siri. Good first effort though.

root explorer?
I have es file explorer. Do I need to purchase root explorer to change permissions for the voice.apk

apk works right from an install.
It's a little quirky, but it actually functions better than I expected it to.

No, you don't. Just tap and hold on the .apk file, in the opened menu scroll down and go to properties, from there you can change permissions.
Just leave check marks checked to:
User: read, write
Group: read
Other: read

Since it is Vlingo with a different look, has anyone noticed an improvement/difference comparing the two?

Does anyone know how to get into the setting menu. I installed onto my vivid and can get into setting with the dedicated menu button but being that we have no button just curious how to access settings

works on my inspire, just tested it. Did you change your screen DPI? If so that would be why you can't download many apps. There is a procedure to get around that, i dont have the link offhand though.
