How do you install this apk? I get a failure when I try to install it on my 3.1 non-rooted wifi Xoom.

Until that APK is deodexed and reuploaded, don't expect it to work outside the specific device it was made for.

is this the movie rental app? Because I don't seem to have it either after upgrading to 3.1?

Wifi only Xoom will not have Google Videos for now and will be "coming in near future" according to Motorola

I'm sure someone will hack the APK to get it to work somehow..
I'd likely say tegra 2 has drm since netflix was using it as a baseline to help develop netflix for android tablets...
Whats odd is i can install it on my gtab running vegan tab 5.1...... its odd same chip. Maybe its the android version only 2.2 and 2.3 devices a currently compatible.

What's even most strange is that Honeycomb has DRM baked in. I'm really not sure what the holdup is on getting Netflix on Honeycomb tablets.
Got it installed no workie though. App opens little window saying not supported on the device. It did let me log in though. Tried to play something said not supported again. I imagine a log of what the app does woupd be helpfull. Maybe a spoof of an id of a supported device.
It would make sense that the app looks for some kind of verification that its a supported device....
Has to be a way to rig it.

It has been ported to a few Motorola devices already.

Tried it, doesn't work. There's gotta be something that works.
I might take a look at the build.prop and compare some other things from the droid X and see what happens.
This may work... but you will need root.

Nook color is running Froyo, or Gingerbread through some custom ROMs. There was a demo version of Honeycomb, tho.
Transformer runs Honeycomb. Honeycomb != Froyo/Gingerbread.
That is why.

The application installs and starts but no movies can be played. Not sure which features DO work. It looks awesome though!
Just tried it and it works. Open my queue and played a movie. Finally...
Gets further than any other netflix release but just a black screen when playing. I'm sure it's not far off. DX liberty. 5

Well, I'm sure tegra2 devices won't be too far behind. All of the devices that are supported have similar processors. The tegra2 is much better, but different. I'm sure netflix is just making sure that there is a quality user experience before releasing it.

It plays on the TF101? Strange. It told me it's not compatible with my device... Maybe it's the firewall at work that keeps messing it up? But others also reported it's only a black screen. Why the differences? I'm rooted and running PRIME! 1.2
Who if the author? I'm looking through the market and i see netflix but they don't seem real... Where is the official application

The way I understand is this is a hardware issue. When they initially announced it for Android, they claimed to only be working with Qualcomm in order to prevent piracy of content. I haven't checked to see if they've expanded beyond that just yet though...so this could be entirely invalid and be a mere software thing
If this is the same app that was leaked off an LG phone a couple of monts ago, the problem is DRM. The app i looking for a DRM file that's not located on the device.

Ya they dont do anything special i have never seen any change so i just run the stock app as now that it works fine on almost everything no reason to hack someones app as it can only piss off the people who did all the work to make it in the first place but thats just my thoughts
Can anyone who lives in Canada tell me if they can get streaming on their Transformer?
I get this little popup:
This device cannot instantly stream from Netflix in your area. Visit ca.netflix.com/NRD to see a full list of devices that instantly stream from Netflix.
Weird thing is I see people using Netflix all over Calgary.
Edit: Nevermind
To get netflix working do this:
1) Make sure you are updated to 8.6.5.9
2) Make sure you download the latest netflix package here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/07...st-phones-too/
3) Install netflix from the apk BUT DO NOT LOGIN YET (If you have already please clear the applications data.)
5) Sign up here: http://www.vpnreactor.com
6) Go on your tansformer and setup the VPN in wireless and network settings. (Pretty straightforward username password and url.)
7) Connect to the VPN
8) Login to Netflix
9) Pick any video and let it play for 15 seconds
10) Disconnect VPN
11) Reboot yout Transformer
12) Use Netflix without VPN

Didnt get to test it too much, but the one difference for me was the red Netflix startup logo.
Before, it was stretched and looked a little "chunky" (almost as if in safe mode)
Now, the "Netflix" Letters are smaller and sharper.
Ill have to try other videos, but was streaming Prison Break episode and fast forwarded/rewinded, and the buffering time was quick.
Before, it seemed to take longer.
btw. installed the first link
Netflix 1.4.0 working on my non-rooted Transformer
I was able to download, install and use Netflix (1.4.0 build) today on my Eee Pad Transformer.
My Transformer is "NOT-rooted".
My Transformer is updated to Honeycomb 3.2 version.
The only issue I have noticed is that "Search" is not working, the Search issue has already been mentioned by several others on this site.

[APP][4.0+] WiFi Direct

So I finally got a Nexus 7 and first thing I wanted to test was the WiFi Direct sharing with my Galaxy Nexus. I was kinda disappointed when I saw that neither the stock Gallery app nor any of my installed file managers offered a WiFi Direct sharing option.
So I took a look at the APIs and made my own WiFi Direct sharing app (after that, I saw that a similiar app is already available here on XDA).
I got it working between my Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4 and the Nexus 7 and I guess it should also work on most other devices (unfortunately, WiFi Direct is really broken on some WiFi drivers).
You can get it from the PlayStore here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.wifidirect
The latest version is attached to this post
Awesome always wanted this so sad don't have another android device but will try this on my Nexus S

only if that computer runs Android and supports wifi direct ^^
How's the testing going for this? I'm shocked more ROM developers don't try to bake this functionality into their releases. My SGSIILTE Skyrocket had Wi-Fi direct baked into the stock Samsung OS, but as soon as you flash to CM10 or something else you lose that function completely and it's no longer in your wireless settings.
I installed your app and will test with my wife's SGSIII tonight.

Thank you so much!!
I own the Nexus 4 and in the playstore I cant download your app (not available in your country -> Germany). Thanks for sharing this, great for exchanging music and videos when hanging out with friends
Not to necro this thread, but we are building an app that does exactly just that. The app is called Drop, and it is a simple, fast, and secure way to share files with people/devices in proximity over WiFi Direct. We are going into a limited Private Beta soon, so if you're up for the challenge, (and running Jelly Bean) then sign up at www.get-drop.com. Seats are limited, and we have a rolling enrollment, so check it out.
Hey,
Why did u take it from the play store.
I really like it. This is what I was looking for. A very simple method to share. No fancy UI or anything. Less then 100KB. Perfect!
Thank you!
I hope u keep maintaining it...:good:
EDIT:
Unfortunately nothing happens from N5 -> N4. I see the toast "sending xyz"... and that's it

How are we supposed to update photoshop to the newest version 1.3, having the ability to work on larger files is something that I'm interested in.
Does someone know how to update?

You can't. The version on the Note is customized to support multi-view. Samsung has to push the update out or provide a discrete link on Play just for Note owners.

Oops. Neither can I. Obviously I haven't used it very much. The answer may be the same though if Samsung's had Adobe make modifications to work with S-Note and the non-standard clipboard. The fact that Play doesn't recognize we have it installed means something funky is going on in the background. Same thing applies to Polaris.

Good luck with that, I have received nothing but the run around for the past week.
