Just wondering if anyone knows if the Icontrolpad will work with the Galaxy S Line.............God I hope so!
I'm trying to get a feel with Netflix & Android tablets - and so far - I'm starting to have doubts that it'll ever be available on the Tegra 2 tablet.
My understanding is it's a security - hardware issue - to keep people from stealing / ripping netflix content - that's keeping the barn doors shut. Or perhaps Android has their own plans to monetize Google Movies. But as more time goes by - I'm less optimistic about getting Netflix on an android tablet.
Any thoughts - or is there something recent that I've missed re: Netflix coming out on this tablet - or others in the near future?
Thanks
If it does come to an Android tablet, it'll still be very much SD quality. Look at the iPad.

not sure of resolution or bit rate data on the netflix stream to an ipad, but it's pretty damn good quality on that screen.
i'd love to have it on my transformer... and my fascinate.... but i guess i have it on my xboxes, my ipad, and my X so i cant complain too much.
i'd really like it on the transformer though, especially with the HDMI out.
There are ways to get it on unsupported devices... Google can help you find guides.

Tried every way possible and can't get it to work. If someone does get it working I would love to know how. As far as making it to tegra 2 tablets im sure it will make it eventually. NVIDIA has a big presence and it would make their chips more attractive if they had Netflix support.
The evo got it,and as far as i can recall Netflix said it wouldn't since the evo has no dem support on the chip. That apparently changed as they settled for software drm. Recently it was removed when the gingerbread update officially launched for the evo, but prior to that it worked fine on cm7 which is aosp gb. My guess is it will probably come in time.

Not on Tegra 2 Honeycomb devices.
I am really anxious to get it on my tablet as well. But I can wait since I have it on everything else that I own.

It does work on tegra 2 tablets. I have had it working on a viewsonic gtablet for over a month.
Rumors say the Lenovo IdeaPad K1 has Netflix preinstalled.

So the problem is a Honeycomb issue and not a Tegra 2 issue? Then maybe there is hope. Has anyone gotten it working on other Tegra 2 Gingerbread devices?

Yep, had it working on the gtab as well.
I guess the issue here is not the Tegra but the Honeycomb and Netflix.

Xoom has Gingerbread hidden if you up your screen dpi settings, I wonder if it works on it. But seeing how unusable the GB is on the Xoom in that environment I doubt it is of benefit here.
The problem isn't Tegra 2, it's HoneyComb. Netflix simply hasn't gotten around to making a version compatible with HoneyComb.
Let's face it, until the TF came out, the HoneyComb tablet market was tiny.
Netflix is working on many android phones including my Nexus One. In fact the quality is great, especially compared to Slingbox. I think it is just a matter of time before Honeycomb gets Netflix, there are just too many Honycomb/Tegra 2 units being sold for them to loose that market.

Do you still have it working? I am running Vegan Tab rom and have never had it fully functional, use it as a que manager but unable to watch. I have been using a home server software, Playon, for the past 2 years and it works good to watch Netflix. It also gives me access to other content and I can also watch videos that are on my home computer. But I would still like to be able to use the Netflix app.
Netflix worked on my Archos 101. Kind of missing it right now since the TF has no netflix.

Still works on mine. I am using cyanogen mod though.
Well, it's certainly not specific to Honeycomb and Tegra 2. The Samsung Epic, for example, still doesn't have an official Netflix app, and it's neither Honeycomb nor Tegra 2. And I'm sure there are still more Android devices that don't have Netflix than do...

You just have to edit your build.prop to a G2 or something. Thats how it works on the G2x Tegra2

How did you get it to work on TF? Please post up, as I'm anxiously awaiting NF on my TF, as are many others!!!

Won't install on my rooted GB DX.
Hopefully somebody can modify it to work with all phones.
I'm not in a position to test it yet, but it appears to have been designed specifically for Samsung devices. Have you tried editing build.prop to make it appear as if you're running a Galaxy S? I'll test on mine when I can, it's running Froyo. GB could be causing it to fail as well.
Hello, I'm fairly new to the Android OS (just got this GS4G last week, and it is my first android) so I'm pretty noobish to all of this and searching these forums and the web have only gotten me so far. I currently have a few questions that I did not find answered anywhere else (for this device at least).
I have the official 2.3.6 Gingerbread just released awhile back and realized that my TV out seemingly doesn't work (tried red, yellow, and white for video). I have no idea if it worked before I left Froyo but I'm just wondering is it supposed to work now (not really looking to troubleshoot this; I just want to know)?
Is there any Mods that allow the use of the Wii Controller? I know CyanogenMod is not released for the GS4G.
And, does the MIUI mod allow the use of a Wii Controller?
Thank You in advance.
Has anyone been able to find/install some of the apps from the Sony tablet s such as the music/video player app? Would this even be possible? It would be a nice addition to our transformers!
Nope I tried it and fonix gave it a look but neither of us could get it to work. And that was back on honeycomb quite a few months ago. Once it gets ics and if some people with more experience come in it will be tried again
