[Q] netflix - is it ever gonna hit a Tegra 2 tablet?

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...

How did you even get it on the TF? Gameloft has no tablets listed as a compatible device for this game. How did they let you buy it??

Got it working on my DHD VIA a certain site ill give it a try on my TF
DESIRE HD using leedroid. ASUS TRANSFORMER using prime

same here,already uinstalled

Another one here...1st purchased Asphalt 6 HD under Motorola Xoom and since that worked on my TF I thought of giving NOVA 2 a shot...unfortunately crashes after the intro vid with no warning. Asphalt 6 however works flawlessly.
Just sent Gameloft an email asking them if there is a possible fix...otherwise I have requested a refund.

I've heard NOVA2 works on stock 3.1 ROM

The xoom and iconia versions should work for the tf however the latest versions check what device you have and since its a tf and not one or their officially supported devices it won't work. Older versions will install but like the posts above say it crashes after intro video.
It must be possible to trick the game in thinking we have a xoom somehow???

IDK about that, I was playing Nova 1 (for Xoom) on my TF101 just the other day. Unless its a recent update.
I have not tired Nova 2... although it does work for the Xoom, you might try that DL.

Tried NOVA2 and it kept force closing, like others have said.
Asphalt 6HD kept force closing too during the game (didn't really care for it anyway, NFS seems better).
Order and Chaos currently seems to be about the only thing that works (DH2HD doesn't seem to be able to download the files it needs yet).
This is all while running 3.2 STOCK.

I think if you visit the second from your tablet, that's the ticket

Also, I have Nova 1, and Spiderman both working on my TF101 successfully.

No, I have tried stock 3.1, stock 3.2 as well as Prime and Nova 2 crashes after the video each time.
I have also purchased Xoom or Acer Iconia Tab versions of Nova, Hero of Sparta, Let's Golf, Asphalt 6, Uno and Spiderman and they all work except for Let's Golf which won't even download.

Worms says compatible - but in truth isn't'!!?

I was happy to see that worms was compatible after the 3.2 update, but after I bought it and tried to start it, I get an error message saying unsupported device...
Seems very strange that Android marks it as compatible but as soon as you start the app it says unsupported... :/
Any fix for this ?

You have to download the additional data from a compatible smartphone then copy the folder in the Transformer

And if I don't own an Android phone ??

Thanks EA Just kidding. Don't you have any friend with an Android phone?

Sent from my Samsung Epic

For those who have successfully installed, is it worth the trouble? Loved the game on PC back in the day.

contacting them
HA contacting them solves nothing..
Have written them several mails, and have yet to receive a single answer..!
Extremely lousy customer service on their part, and ****ty support as well.

curious. I unzipped the sdcard content(com.ea.worms_na) to the root of my microSD and the root of "sdcard" just in case but when i launch worms it still prompts me to download the package then automatically sends me to a eamobile customer service site.
anyone have any input on this?

the com.ea.worms_na folder needs placed in the /Android/data folder on the internal SD card, then it should see it fine.
The game is pretty fun, I've been side loading it since I got it for my old D1 back when it came out. Not as many weapons as some of the older computer versions, pretty similar to the PSP version that came out (Armeggedon? I think)
Controls are a little wonky on some of the things, but once you get used to it, its easy.

worked like a charm. thanks man

[Q] Order & Chaos Online with a controller?

Is there any way to play Order & Chaos Online on my Transformer with a controller? Whether it be a wiimote, sixaxis, etc. Root is not a problem, I'm alreay running Prime 1.9.1 with Clemsyns kernel. Im just wondering if this is possible. I have already tried using a sixaxis controller over usb but with no luck. Im thinking it is just a limitation of the game, as emulators work fine.

I'm also wondering if this is possible. I bought the app called Sixaxis Controller and I'm trying to use my PS3 controller to play Order and Chaos. I've configured the controller and it syncs and works fine. I just need to know the key mapping when bypassing IME so that the controls are correlated to the game's. Any help would be awesome!

anyone come up with an answer to this yet?

Oder and chaos doesn't work.
The six axis app DOES EMULATE touches now but with the way the action rotator bar. You could use 3 from the rotator bar and the quick menu. It would be possible if Gameloft didn't shut us down. Says device is not compatible regardless that the actual game runs fine.

Asus Transformer - Revolver

What's Up With Gameloft?
I picked up a Transformer Prime three weeks ago, and own a copy of Order & Chaos on my Kindle Fire, but of course want to play it on my newer, faster device. Is it true that, even with root, my Prime would no longer work with O&C because of Gameloft's pathetic upper management?
Also, if you have any insight on where I might find the best TF Prime dev / root / hack / discussion sites, I would so greatly appreciate it.
Best,

I know which forum this is, and I know where the TF Prime XDA forum is located. My initial questions and comments on the TF-101 remain compatible. Perhaps I should have been clearer about what I was after, and while I realize I should ask on the TF Prime forum instead of this one, mister 911 seems to know a bit more than the average dev ... Which is why I asked him.

Awesome, you knew where the right forum was and didn't use it anyway!
Maybe show a little courtesy to the other people that use the TF forum and don't want to have to sift through information for other devices. There was an enormous amount of TF prime info starting to float around the TF forums when the TF Prime was announced. It got messy until Prime forum was created.
If you have a question for a specific member, try a PM.

No worries. I'm not sure about the Prime but Gameloft doesn't like the transformer line for some reason. In order to combat piracy, they disallow all devices from launching the games except those devices on the allowed list.
So while occasionally we can get a version that installs and we can change our build.props to look like another "allowed" device, typically updates fix this quickly. As of right now it won't work on the transformer. I've emailed Gameloft several times saying they need to fix their methods of selection but I always get a canned response like, "we're sorry your device is incompatible with our games".
The first 10 levels of my character were played on my transformer before they axed it. Luckily my Galaxy Nexus works.
Even if you were able to get it working, it would involve using illegal tactics (another point I stressed to them).
The game WILL run perfectly on the Transformers but we're not "supported".

I accessed the second set of shortcuts by using a "Swipe Right" button. I assigned it to R1 on the sixaxis. It works great. I placed this button right over the middle shortcut (See screenshot).

[Q] Help from all of you ! opinion needed !

Hey Guys, I don't know if I posted this in the right place
I just want to ask you all,
Should I buy the Asus Transformer Ft101 or wait for the prime to drop its price !
I don't have any tablet but I have experience with android .
Is the only difference between those two the tegra 2 vs 3 processor ?
Is ICS coming soon to this tablet ?
Thank you all for the advice . And sorry admins if I put this thread in the wrong section ;-)

Ics is supposed to be out this month for tf101. Prime and its dock r both slimmer which means u lose one usb port. Some have reported wify issues with the prime. I have a tf101 and its great, no issues here.

Avoid the Prime, it has too many problems. (No GPS, Wifi and Bluetooth issues, only mono audio, etc.)
The TF101 is a much better deal, so long as you're willing to wait a while for ICS to come out.

So many "should I buy a TF101" threads. None of them in the Q&A forum either. hmmmm

I guess you should figure it out your self i mean
do you like playing games and stuff
or just browsing the web?

I would buy the TF101... Not really impressed by the Prime, and the Tegra3 SoC seem to be a benefit only to graphic demanding apps (or games ). I would be better to pack some more RAM on it... (IMO: I don't care to see true 1080p HD movies on a 10 inch screen... for that i have a 32 inch TV, and for videogames... not until they all have some sort of game pad support, like GTA3. So the Tegra2 SoC does the job i need more than fine).
For the price and the bugs the Prime is experiencing i would buy today a TF101 if i didn't add one already .

Hey guys, thanks for the advice, I just bought an FT101 with the dock . And as you can see I also bought my first App = XDA Premium :-D Love this app ;-) also I had installed the Revolution HD Rom . I want to use it as my main "Netbook" . Till this oment I had just 2 crashes with this ROM ;-) .......
