Finally! Netflix IS finally coming to Android

We knew this would be phone specific due to Netflix wanting to ensure content restrictions were in place. The good news, it will be more chip dependent and phones with Snapdragon processors will be first.
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-02-14/qualcomm-some-android-devices-to-get-netflix.html

OMG. That would be awesome. Go Qualcomm!

CAN'T WAIT!

Well, that's not really saying much without even a hint of a release date.

I read a article were it said newer Qualcomm chips were going to get netflix . I wonder if the evo would qualify .

Netflix on my phone would be great. Give me something to do at work..other than actually work

I think an OS would have to have at least some attempt at security measures in place before that would happen...

I'm pretty sure the evo would qualify with it A8 type but too bad htc does not use the newer A9 that would make video playback as good as the iPhone 4 with it's high res screen and does this mean you will need 4g to stream the videos.

Well now unfortunately I just read at Engadget that only the newest Snapdragon chips, not even shipping in any phones yet, would have the capability for Netflix.
Poo Poo on Netflix, Google, and Qualcomm. As usual, the only care about selling NEW phones and could give a crap about anything already shipped.

Welcome to android.

for some reason DRM doesn't bother me when its coming from netflix. Probably because 7.99 a month for streaming is totally reasonable whereas $1-3 per episode of downloadable content is absolutely ridiculous.

Netflix is awesome but it doesnt work on my country.

I would never watch netflix on my phone. Ever.
Ever.

I just listened on Cnet podcast that only next gen snapdragon chips will work, and they aren't shipping until early 2012!!! They also said that it seemed fishy since the iPhone already has it and the chip in the iPhone is not unusual. This is BS, Netflix is drinking the Apple Juice.
BOYCOTT NETFLIX ANDROID USERS!!

Even if Netflix was available, I doubt my phone would even have the horsepower to run it (moto droid 1, unrooted), so I guess they are just trying to make sure it is a positive experience for those users. That, or they are trying to avoid the fragmentation issue, or only available in gingerbread or later...
I would rather wait until I upgrade my phone to make sure the app works as good as possible.

I have playon.tv on my desktop to stream stuff to my roku but they came out with an android app in the market and it allows you to watch netflix and hulu on your android device, assuming you let the desktop app run.
From what i understand, the android app goes to your actual pc where it gets the videos and converts it to an android compatible stream. I tried it and it worked fine. Not a free app but you can try the trial.

pre-purchase questions

I'm switching over from an HTC Pure (win mob 6.5). I've been watching Android and am dying to get going with it. But before making the plunge, I'm curious on the phone.
1) If HTC does not provide Android 2.4 upgrades or beyond, will the custom ROMs offering 2.4 allow the Google Marketplace to work? I ask this because the HTC Pure Android ROM doesn't offer Marketplace because of incompatibilities with a non-Android phone.
2) Will Skype work on it? I've been holding out for an HTC with a front-facing camera to do video Skype like iPhone offeres. But, that doesn't seem to ever be an option for HTC users... always a back-side camera only deal.
3) I know the Netflix isn't available for Android yet. But, does anyone have input on this CPU being on the supported list for the Netflix app that does come out?

Belongs in general. Wrong place my friend

lrs421 is correct, moved to general as not android development

Agreed, I apologize and I thought I was on the general thread. Guess I posted on the wrong Firefox tab. Thanks for moving it to the right forum.

First of all the pure sucked so this is godsend compared to the pure. Just get and see for yourself.

Sure um well lets see...
1. Absolutely however 2.4 is a ways off and 2.3 has yet to be officially released for inspire (summer i think). In other words don't worry about it unless you intend on rooting and flashing but as far as I know most if not all roms support marketplace.
2. Skype app should work but you kind of answered your own question. Why would you attempt to video conference on a phone without a front facing camera? I had iphone 4 and hardly used facial time, it was more like "cool i can see you" and um you look exactly the same as I saw you last.
3. Yes as far as I know all snapdragon processors should be supported.
Like I said before this phone is worlds better than the pure (I had one). If you just want a phone for pure (no pun intended) functionality then get an iphone 4. But if you want a phone you can hack and customize, with tons of potential and great specs then definitely get the inspire. I hope that helps

all custom ROMs still support the marketplace with no issues. so you have nothing to worry about.

Loving this purchase! Only have one problem with the thing...

Ice cream sandwich coming in October or November

it seems ice cream sandwich will be out in a Month or two but they said we shouldnt be too happy due to fragmentation. yeah ok that won't stop xda from getting it to its fans
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App

Google is hoping that from ice cream sandwich forward, it will solve the fragmentation issue. ICS is supposed to be able to run on both phones and tablets.
And Google announced a while back that they're going to come out with some sort of standard that forces manufacturers to update their handsets for x amount of years after it is out. Hopefully this will keep most handsets up to date. And that fact that android updates are slowing down will help as well

It will be interesting to say the least, part of the reason most devices have to run rooted is the lack of development on software so desperately needed by devices out of date and in need of corrections that service providers seem to care less about. There is a growing need for carriers to be on the same page when development does make it's way to customers that have been waiting up to a year longer than others for the chance to benefit from the software advertised. It's now at the point that a customer needs to look at a companies track record on software updates being put out in a timely manner before you choose a device, it shouldn't be this way for the money people spend every month just to have the phone fail on you till they get enough complaints about it to do anything.
I'm not concerned over the software being released as much as I am with the service providing it as long as everyone gets the updates within the same time frame as everyone else. It's about time they got it together I just hope it goes as they announced it to be.

I will stay with this phone for the full two years if we are promised ICS. If not, I will jump to whatever Nexus phone comes to Verizon as long as it has 4G. We can always hope that the rumors are true and the Nexus will have a super AMOLED plus display.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium

I think we'll get ICS as an official update. So far, no SGS2 for Verizon and with Google purchasing Moto Mobility, Sammy needs to keep Big Red users happy.
Plus, isn't the Fascinate getting a GB OTA soon?
If I had to bet, I'd bet we see ICS and it will be our last OTA with maybe a maintenance release or two.
P.S. Devs are leaving? False. There is a TREMENDOUS amount of dev work going on for the Charge right now, be thankful.

There's been a slow down from the developers because the source code (or kernel code or something like that) hasn't been released. Without this, to my understanding, its difficult to make roms for phones. The funny part is that since android is open source, they're legally bound to release it. But there's always red tape =P
P.s. did I coin a new acronym? ICS? lol.

Just to be clear, AOSP is Android Open Source Project and is the open source code branch of Android. ICS is Ice Cream Sandwich and is just a new version of Android that will eventually be open sourced by Google. So ICS will become part of AOSP when Google wants it to.

Actually, it's 18 months after a device is released. Not sure if it's already supposed to be in effect yet, though.

Considering that we probably won't get GB until late September/early October, ICS from Samsung is HIGHLY unlikely. They'll probably just leave us in the cold.
So when AOSP gets ICS, will we be able to flash it (assuming we have gb aosp+build bots by that time) without any major modifications?

They released a list of devices that will be supported, there were probably 2 on the list that were single core devices. Mytouch 4g wasn't one of them unfortunately for me.
They already made a ics/miui, so I guess it's all good for boting if your still wondering.

Official count down thread for ICS on Sensation. Day 26

Ok I am sure I am not the only one that watched the live release of the Galaxy Nexus and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Being that the Sensation is the flagship device for HTC and that HTC is obligated to update their devices for 18 months. Not to mention that ICS is optimized for dual core devices, the Sensation will get a official update . The o.ly true question is when will the Sensation get this update. Now all of us here on XDA know we will probably get a unofficial update via a custom Android 4.0 ROM from Cyanogen Mod or another AOSP team.
So if anyone out there gets a update avaliable notification or finds a custom Android 4.0 ROM for the Sensation please post it here.
Today's date is Oct. 18 2011 let the count down begin.!
First 24
Oct. 19 2011​
Ok it has been 24 hours now sense the start of the live Samsung and Google event yesterday, So lets review what has become available so far.
We have ICS wallpapers via XDA Member matd20012001.
We have the Roboto font via XDA Senior Member Thyrus.
We have a ICS System Dump and ICS Data Folder via XDA Recognized Developer JoelZ9614.
We have the System App dump of ICS via XDA TV Personality azrienoch. He find them on My Droid World forums via p3droid.
And we have the Android 4.0 Platform SDK via the Google Android developers.
First SDK port to the HTC G2 (It is booting but lots of bugs) and I beleive the very first port to any device via XDA Senior Member siulmagic. Also check out the ICS Porting guide by Siulmagic.
Now I may have missed something or need to add extra credits to sources so please let me know if so.

Here is a video of a Nexus One running ICS. As you can see the on screen virtual buttons are not there, and the ROM is using the capacitive buttons. Video posted by XDA Senior Member DirkGently in the "ICS on phones with capacitive buttons", in the General forums of the General discussion forums.
Day 5
Oct.23 2011​
Ok this was posted yesterday and I messed it, it is in the HTC HD2 Android development forum. This is info pretty much just for devs but still very useful, it was posted by XDA Senior Member vegaman. Also it seems the HTC HD2 is getting a little ICS love as there is also a booting alpha SDK port for the HTC HD2. Also for any devs or people that want to give it a try here is a place to download a Galaxy Nexus system dump, posted by XDA Seniort Member Proz00. I do not know if it is the same downloads I linked to in my "Fist 24" above or not but I thought it worth linking to. (Confirmed that is just a SDK system dump)
ICS has a Easter Egg too, check out the post by XDA Member Grimms in this thread.

I discovered a little fun Easter egg, as in gingerbread and i believe in foryo. if you hit the android version in settings a number of times(5-10) you get a little artwork showing in this case a honeycomb bee. have fun

Day 6
Oct. 24 2011​
I decided to see just how many devices have a bootable ICS SDK port. We know the HTC Nexus one, the Samsung Nexus S, Samsung Nexus S 4G, and the HTC HD2 have one it looks like the HTC G2/Desire Z, the HTC Desire, the HTC Droid Incredible, the HTC Desire HD, the HTC EVO Shift 4G, the HTC Droid Incredible 2,the Samsung Infuse 4G,and the XPERIA X10 all have a bootable SDK port. (Whoooo that was more work than i had counted on, glad I am done) I am not 100% sure about that last one booting but it is some real dev work going on on it. Now i know all of these are SDK ports and will never ever be able to be used as a daily driver. But this gives the devs a chance to get their feet wet with ICS and hopefully make it easier for the devs to make some true ASOP ROMs when the source code is released by Google. Thus this is why I went through and found each one, this whay the devs for the Sensation can have a central location to find all the threads on the ICS ports.
Day7
Oct. 24 2011​
So I have been reading and this is what I have come up with. The Nexus One devs have got all of the following working, touch screen (no cursor anymore), phone calls (no audio though), wireless data, SMS, Wifi, and the proximity sensor.
The Nexus S port is booting but that is it really.
Beezy and the devs over at My Droid World forums are making god progress with the SDK port for the Nexus S 4G. They have they following working, touch screen, data (no 4G), SMS, MMS, WiFi, and USB (not sure if it is USB mass storage or just USB). It may be more but there is no real full run down of all that is working. You can go here to watch the video on the last version of the ROM. It appears to be stable enough to use as a daily driver, who would have thought. Here is a video of the great port.
I personally tested the port for the HD2 and to put it nice it boots up and that is it, I am sure that will change though.
The devs working on the HTC Desire have got the following working, touchscreen, SD card, and hardware buttons. Here is a video of it.
The HTC Droid Incredible port is pretty much the same as the the HTC HD2.
The HTC Desire HD port is booting but that is pretty much it.
The HTC Evo Shift 4G port has the the following working, phone (without audio), data, and orientation.
The HTC Droid Incredible 2 port is booting but that is it.
The Samsung Infuse 4G port is booting but that is it and the thread has been closed.
The XPERIA X10 port is booting and that is it too.
So as you can see only the Nexus devices are progressing right now with a usable port. I find that a little curious, what about you?
Day 9
Oct. 27 2011​
Just for all of you that have not seen the story on the XDA Portal you might want to give it a good read. The story is on the Nexus One but I think it is worth reading as it shows that even though a device can clearly run the new Android 4.0.1 Ice Cream Sandwich, it does not necessary mean it will get the update. Google can you say, "This is our attempt to make you by a new device, and push the agenda of the OEMs." There is a link to the full original article in the story in the Portal.
It may be nothing, but I may have come across something very interesting. The Nexus S has a pretty good ICS port right now, but is it a port or is it a leaked early version of ICS made to run on the Nexus S for testing that has been modded? I will let you make that decision for yourself. Go here and have a read of post #93-#97. Also check out the quote in post #97 as it relates back to the Nexus One not getting a official update.
For Devs and Chiefs only​
I really can not believe I messed this as it was posted on the 19th. But then again the Galaxy Nexus forums are still very new and I have had no real reason to check them out. Anyway XDA Senior Member blunden gives a general explanation to why the ICS SDK dump and the ICS app dumps can not be deodexed with the current smali/baksmali will not work. But he says he got a working baksmali.jar. He also gives links to download deodexed framwork and deodexed apps. Go to here to check out the post.
Looks like Samsung (or Sammy as some call them) has made a official statement on their plans for updating their Galaxy devices. Thanks again to XDA Senior Member Tinky 1 for the info, the link is direct to the source. Hope you can use Google translate.
Day 12
Oct. 30 2011​
Looks like we can add the Samsung Galaxy S to the list of devices with a SDK port that boots and is being developed. But it appears to be just booting up for right now.
Day 13
Nov. 1 20011​
Well it is not looking good for everyone to get a speedy update to ICS that will get the official update to their device. Check out this article on what the OEMs are saying abot the official updates. Thanks to XDA Senior Member LPChris47
Day 17
Nov. 5 2011​
It looks like there is a alleged dump from the Galaxy Nexus. Now this is suppose to be a early version and not the final release version of ICS. Me personally I am holding my opinion on what this is for right now as I have seen it and I am not convinced just yet. Oh yeah this was actually posted yesterday, but i just now got around to posting it here. Sorry I have been busy. Thanks to XDA Senior Member DroidRC1 and XDA Senior Member bonesy for the heads up.
Day 18
Nov. 6 2011​
Engadget has posted a article on what devices they can confirm are going to get a official ICS upgrade. The Sensation is not listed under the HTC section as of now, but the article says"Keep checking back here from time to time, as we'll continue to update the list." So kepp a check there, I know I will. Thanks to XDA Senior Member leeskywalker for the heads up on the article.
Day 19​Nov 7 2011​
HTC Official announcment​
It appears HTC has announced that the Sensation along with several other HTC devices will be getting an official ICS upgrade. They used Facebook as their platform to announce this information which really burns my butt cause I personally can not stand face book and despise it. Anyway this is great news as it confirms mine and several other peoples thoughts about the Sensation getting an official upgrade. But one down side of the announcement is that the update will be sometime in early 2012. Now to me early means with in the first 3 months, but to HTC it could mean with in the first 6 months. Thanks to XDA Senior Member illuminarias for posting the link here in the thread. Also thanks to XDA Senior Member austendale9 as it seems he had started a thread with the link a little before illuminarias posted the link here in this thread.

Well even though it is just the Android 4.0.1 version that is on the Galaxy Nexus. Google has released the Source code for ICS today, They also released the previousely unreleased Honeycomb Source code too. Google says they really want people to focus on development for ICS though. And that source for more devices will be filming soon.

I'm just not sure what they'll do with our hardware buttons. It would suck to lose their functionality and have to lose screen real estate or the new on-screen buttons. hopefully there's a way to get rid of the new ones and have ICS use the hardware ones.
Other than that, safe to say a custom rom becomes available here before HTC gets around to releasing it.

geee uhmm i wonder why all the devs are so quiet? maybe a released sdk somewhere?

Yeah the thing about ICS using virtual compactive buttons does pose somewhat of a question if they will be in a ROM for the Sensation. Bit in my opinion and logical thinking on this is that they will make all updates for pre ICS devices use the existing soft keys and not vertual keys because if not that would leave the soft keys useless I highly doubt the OEMs will allow because it would make their devices look bad. Plus as you say it will take up screen real estate and that is not good. Plus I am not sure if the hardware soft keys can be done away with without causing some unwanted problems. So I say the existing hardware buttons will be used in ICS but we still might have to have the onscreen button to bring up the multitasking thumbnails as I don't know if you can make the search hardware button function for both buttons.

Yrs the SDK is avaliable right now so you are probably right.

Customization mate! Even if 4.0 has built in buttons other phones besides sensation uses kapa buttons. Whereas google would have had to be shooting heroine through the pupil if the didn't took that in consideration.

Our goal for Android updates is to give every customer an improved user experience, which means balancing each phone's unique hardware, HTC Sense experience and the Android kernel. While our goal is to upgrade as many of our recent devices as possible, we are committed to maintaining every phone's performance and usability first. Please stay tuned for more updates on specific device upgrade plans.

Not meaning to be the downer, but I'm pretty sure I can safely say you won't be seeing an ICS update from HTC for many, many months. And for CM9? I'm sure that will be a couple of months too.
Based on previous experiences with several phones.

I hope the CM port goes quicker and smoother the CM7.1, its so darn buggy

I thought the SDK is only for app developers? We don't have the source yet do we?

Hey, you know that feeling in MMORPG's where you reach the highest level and all of a sudden the game isn't as fun anymore because you have nothing to work towards? And no matter how many more monsters you killed or quests you did, you would no longer level up because the EXP is wasted?
ICS is like extending that soft level cap so we can look forward to things in the future. Might not come today, might not come next week. Might not even be for another month or so. But it's something to look forward to. And I'm happy with that.

From what I've read ICS gives devs the option to do away with hardware buttons, so it won't be a problem. ICS can use either.

Yeah Jellybean is suppose to have what has been labeled as "Game Changing Stuff" in it. And CM ROMe are already top notch ROMs so when the CM team finally get a hold of Jellybean it is truly no telling what will be the out come.
But we are really getting ahead of ourselfs here cause Jellybean has not been officially adopted as the name for the next Android version and ICS was just released last night and it is only at 4.0 right now so it is still plenty of room for more growth with ICS. Plus Google has said nothing yet about ICS being open sourced yet. So if Google does the same with ICS as they did with Honeycomb then we may never see a CM ICS ROM.

Im holding out for Jollyrancher...Itll make toast for you.

On Gizmodo there is a vote for what "J" will be called. I voted for Jeff Goldblum! LOL!

Petition: HTC Tablet ICS updates

This is petition to let HTC know that us with their tablets want the latest version of android for our devices, even if HTC dosent think we need it, it brings numerous great ne features, such as Face Unlock, Google Chrome, updated camera functionality, speed improvments, and much more!
The people signing this petition are people who own or atleast support this product and want to see it get the latest updates and features avalible, those who own the device bought it so that they could get the great support from HTC, and would like to have their money be well spent, so, in hopes of succeding, please update our devices to Google Android 4.0.4 -AND- HTC Sense 4 (or whatever the latest version is)

Done it!

AS someone who when looking for a tablet a year ago wanted an 8.9' HTC Honeycomb Tablet. Well all I can say is their support for their tablets has made sure that I will never buy one of their tablets glad a got an Asus Transformer.
Good luck if they do upgrade these it will go a long way to maybe getting me to go HTC next time around

I think we better show our opinion in HTC facebook page. That should open their eyes. To be frank, I'm really distressed by HTC's attitude towards flyer. In India, HC update is made available in May 2012. I don't when we are going to get the taste of ice cream sandwich.
