I just rooted my HTC Eris for the first time this week. I'm using Evervolv 2.3.5 rom. So far everything works great. Now just yesterday, Netflix released a version 1.4 for most Androids. I've just installed the Netflix app for the first time, but it will not play any videos. Has anyone else had this problem? Do I need to use a different Netflix program? The new Netflix ver 1.4 says its for Gingerbread.
Netflix is not compatible with all phones yet.
I had a heck of a time with Netflix on my Dinc. It wouldn't close properly, and then would restart once I killed it.
Hmmm, I think Neflix posted an article that they supported all Froyo and Gingerbread phones now. Maybe your ROM has something to do with it?

I have read through previous threads and I'm having an issue with Skype saying that this version dosn't run on my Thunderbolt. I recently had it running on Stock rom. I rooted and I am now running BAMF 1.6.3 with Kernel 4.4.7 .. I had the same issue on BAMF 1.6.2.
I can download the mobile version or the full version but both of them tell me that it doesn't run and that a new version with video was coming out, yet it was working on Stock. Is there something I'm missing to get this to work?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason

Last I checked, the only Skype that works on the Thunderbolt is the leaked video one.

If he had it working prior to installing BAMF, wouldn't that not be true? Assuming the OP isn't lying, it must be a ROM issue. I myself am running BAMF remix 1.6.3. I haven't tried the market versions of skype, but the leaked one does work. Version 1.0.1.1025 I believe. I do have major problems with the video aspect of the leaked app. I can call out, but the app freezes and, well, just wigs the eff out when I try to video chat. I'm thinking this is a ROM issue with BAMF as people have reported good results with Skype video on stock so it wouldn't surprise me if your issue is also a BAMF one.
Skype got bought by Microsoft today...

I was never ever able to use the Skype app, even before I was rooted. When you downloaded it from the market and went to open it up, it would give you the message that it wasn't working for the TB yet but to check back later for an update.
The leaked one is the only one I have ever been able to run. Also, myself and many others are running the leaked version of Skype just fine on DasBAMF, it is not a ROM issue. The leaked version is the only one that will work with the TB.
Yea might just be a BAMF thing, but I'm not really sure. If I find the time tonight I might back everything up, return it to stock rom and see if it works again. I don't know if the video one worked, but I was using skype. I can't post in the dev forums under the update for BAMF yet as I don't have enough post.
Thanks for the responses.

Alright then. Well may I ask what version of BAMF you are on and what kernel? I am trying to figure out why video calling loses it's mind on my T-Bolt...

Hopefully Google Talk video will be on the Thunderbolt before too long. Won't need Skype anymore, assuming Microsoft ruins it.
Try using THIS VERSION. Just make sure in the applications settings your phone is set to allow installation of "unknown applications".(this is the working version w/video)
I will try that version and see how it goes... Thanks for all the assitance everyone.
Mine only does audio. I tried it on stock, and on The Perfect Storm 1.3 and 1.4, using wifi, 4g, and 3g. Same results - only audio and no video. I can actually see the video from the front facing camera before the other person picks up, but then the video cuts out as soon as they do.
Seems like no one else has this problem. IDK what else to try. Thoughts?

Thanks so much for posting the APK. It wouldn't show up in my market since my phone isn't supported. It works just fine though on BravoC
Works perfectly on the SGS II....!! Woot!
Unsupported device not working...
Not working on Archos 43. Showed up in market, installed fine, but stops at program running with unsupported device popup. Works great on Nexus One running Cyanogenmod!
Doesn't work on the stock G2X
Installed on Fascinate and also have app working to adjust queue and search for movies, but cannot stream a movie as it says "device not supported".
Guess we'll have to wait for a hack job or our device to be eventually supported.
Holly crap it works on my Incredible with CM7 Nightly 75. Sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Doesn't work on the G2X
Doesn't work on the G2X running the Gingerbread leak (just quits, doesn't even get to any screen or dialog).
I'll go home and give it a shot with the latest CyanogenMod nightly.
holy crap it works great on my Aria! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THE APK
Now I can watch TV while I operate heavy machinery!!!

Doesn't work on Viewsonic G-tab with Gingertab on it. Get the unsupported device pop up.
Doesnt work for the Mytouch 4g (Even though it has better specs than more than one phone on that list...) But i called customer support and they said that they eventually would release a working app for EVERY android phone with hardware capable of streaming video smoothly. Also, I pretty much got a direct confirmation of one for the Mytouch 4g very soon.

No work on my droid 1 with cyangenomod 6.1.2.
Not working on stock htc thunderbolt, loaded the app I can browse queue and just about everything else just fine. When it comes time to play I get a blank screen and either returned to the queue, or get a DRM notification.
Anyone try to get the app working on our phone? I loaded it and tried to change the build file to the HTC Vision but the app wouldnt let me stream any video.
I tried the same but didn't work... Might be sometime with blur preventing from Netflix actually identifying it as an HTC... maybe I'm completely wrong but I tried both the leaked netflix app that came out a while ago and the newest one with no luck. What I did notice was when i edited the build prop, when i went into the marketplace it would actually find the netflix app but when i changed it back to show as a Moto Bravo it would no longer show it in the marketplace
The Netflix app is NOT compatible with the stock Bravo. Bandroid said there was a way around this, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

If you have CM7 or CM9 the netflix app works with no problems now. I think by now it should work with our stock rom but I haven't tried it.

Sadly its not working on cm9 now with the new video drivers for making work full hardware acceleration on our phones (defy, bravo, milestone and more)
Lets hope that devs take problem and solve it.

Well if you do remember CM9 hasen't been the most friendly rom for our little Bravo to begin with. That's why i've just stuck with one of the early CM7's. It's probably had vast improvements since the one I installed but it is a trooper. Has force feeding Netflix been tried yet or marking it as a system app?

Its not yet perfect, not friendly even for defy users, but our phone have a great potencial to do many things possible. As you know if our phone would not have that locked bootloader, it was just like some other new phone, thanks to the great procesor it has.
But despite locked boot, the phone is now working really great, it just need some tweaks or something to run a little bit faster, but now everything is working really great, I love the rom now, I hope devs make it a little bit faster before going to JB, but I think it will because with every new nightly the rom is smoother and thats why now Im using it alredy as my primary rom.
I recomend you now to install it again, I hope netflix works sometime in the future, my netflix account has some problems, when it is ready Im going to install multiboot manager to use GB to see it.
with qik, i see the video, but the other end can't hear me, but can see me. with skype, it says the other person doesn't have video, but then i don't either, and audio doesn't work either.
i would post this in the cm7 forum, but so far, all 5 or so of my posts have gotten buried with no chance of a return
Are you using the hacked version of Skype? The original leaked Skype app that worked on Froyo does not work on Gingerbread. And even the newest version of Skype in the market specifically does not support the Tbolt just yet. I suspect it won't officially support it until we get Gingerbread from an OTA.
There is however a hacked Skype (version from the market) that unlocks our device in it and it supposedly does work in Gingerbread roms. I haven't tried it yet as I found Skype video to be pretty much buggy and of poor quality if not on Wifi so I don't mind waiting longer for it.
I have the newest leaked version. You're right though, i may just give up on it for the moment. I wonder why qik acts up though, everything looks good, just no sound
I have this version (1.3) working on my Inspire 4G. No hacks needed just dl and install from SD card! http://www.multiupload.com/XTEWL8CLCZ Works for me on stock AT&T 2.3 GB rooted rom!!! All video and sound is working. This version of Netflix is the latest update for use on Android tablets but it's working on HTC Inspires too. I have tested the streaming on WiFi and on HSPDA+ and both work great. By the way this is not a hacked .apk .
Sorry, I see this was posted 5 days ago. Guess I need to use that damn search button before I post!
