[Q] Running Netflix/Hulu outside of the USA - General Questions and Answers

Hello All,
Is there any way to install and watch Hulu/Netflix from outside of the USA?
Thanks!

I know for a fact that Netflix is available in other countrys, since I've been using it in Brazil for over 6 months. The movies selection is different for every region, though.
Anyways, you could always set a proxy on your router directing connection to a server in the US.

Is there any way to do this from a mobile device (phone?)

In my droidx it will let me add a proxy if I set up a wifi connection manually.

Netflix Fix For Canadians

Hey folks just wanted to post that I found a solution to getting Canadian Netflix to work on the TF.
Install muffins patch from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15904091
Then follow these steps:
1. Get a US proxy or Vpn. There are plenty of free trial ones out there.
2. Connect to proxy and open Netflix with your account.
3. Test a video. It should work now.
4. Disconnect proxy and restart. It will now work without the proxy.
5. Thank Muffin for the patch.

Did,it worked for you whit the app and what proxy server are you using?
Sent from Cybertron!
Yes it works with the app. I used proxydroid to connect and just Googled free proxy trial for the proxy I used. Any proxy or VPN with a US IP should work.

Is there a way to get this to work without rooting the tablet?
I have a rooted android phone and I was wondering if I can run all the apps/proxy server through the phone, and then tether the tablet to my phone to run netflix for the first time...any idea if this would work?
I don't think its possible without root. You need root to install muffins patch at the very least. Rooting is easy and easily undone if necessary.

What I don't understand is that using the same apk on my sgs2 works on the same internet connection.
That with no proxy set up

That's because the sgs2is supported by Netflix and the transformer is not. The apk that was posted in mistamuffins thread was from the lenevo version which is currently only available in the states

So in summation the american only version works on my sgs2 in Canada because the sgs2 is officially supported.

Can you tell the settings you used for Proxydroid because when I did it I couldn't connect to the internet once I connected to the proxy.
Thanks.

Im with the rest of the people on this cant quite get it to work the way i thought it should. Problems being that either the proxy has no host name and so from what i have read it is therefore the same as the intranet address. When entering that you just don't get internet access. Or the proxy you do get working only works for the browser and all other applications dont see it
If you're using proxydroid make sure to enable global proxy. That will make all apps use the proxy. Alternatively you can use a VPN and set it up in the tf settings. If you are using free proxys or vpns you probably will encore problems. Find one with a free trial or get a friend in the US to set one up for ya if you don't want to pay.

WIFI dropping out?

Running the latest tiamat rom on a UK wifi zoom. The wireless seems a bit random and keeps losing the connection. Any advice?
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
Highlight the connected network and, modify network. Change it from DHCP or whatever it is, to static. It'll solve the connection problems. No more endless YouTube buffering, failed market downloads, etc. I had the same problem at first. Let me know your progress.

Cant find wifi!

HI, we recently bought an 802.11n compatible router called Asus RT-N13U and its visible to every pc in the house inclufing the xbox 360 and the ps3 but its totally invisible to my nexus s its like it doesnt exist. We have tried disconnecting everything but still didnt work. I need help and this phone is not rooted.

Probably broadcasting on a channel which Android has disabled for your country. Switch to a channel between 1 and 12 on your router, may need to take off auto. An app like Wifi Analyzer should be able to see the network no problems.
Its on channel 11. My old was on 11 too but it worked...

Make sure you have set your router to use the 2.4GHz band, not 5GHz.
It is set to 2.4 ghz and wifi analyzer cant see it

Be sure your router was configured to WPA/WPA2 security,not WEP,and that the router is visible (Wireless SSID : ON) .
ICS -802.11n not compatiable..change it to g/n

Slow Downspeed on Note 10.1

I have a fiber optic internet connection at home and on my desktop PC I get download speeds of 80mbps+ however when I do a speed test on my note 10.1 I am lucky to get a downspeed on 3mbps. Does anyone have any ideas why this is and how to improve it?
I am in the UK and have the N8010 model.
Many thanks.
Its likely something with your router. Check the signal strength and channel.maybe a firmware upgrade on the router .are you connection to a/b/g/n all of the above will effect speeds and reliability.
Also is your PC hard wired.? If so you know it will be much faster there is far less overhead data tagging along.I do not think its the device
Good luck

Thanks for the response. My router in running on Wireless N. Yes my PC is hard wired however im still getting at least a 50mbps downspeed on my Windows laptop via the wireless. I just figure it's something to do with the network card inside the Note?
I do have some problems connecting to certain networks with my tablet as well. Maybe there's some problem with wifi drivers in the galaxy note I'm guessing. Hopefully it'll be fixed in JB.

One thing you can try is changing the encryption and/or privacy standard (WEP and so on) since some of them isn't supported by "dumb" devices and I suspect some of them are supported but are so advanced it affects the performance.

Hi,
I had the same issue.
I solved setting the ip address to static (not dhcp) in wifi settings.
Now i get 20 mbits+ (consistent with my G router capabilities)

Go to settings.
Select wifi
Long press on your connection.
Press modify connection
Now select ip settings and change to static
Now change your IP to an address outside of dhcp range and your done.
If dhcp is 192.168.1.2 through 192.168.1.100 set your tab to 192.168.1.101
You can also change your routers dhcp range to 192.168.1.2 through 192.168.1.15 and set your tab to ..16
Your numbers may be different, but same method.

Wifi Tether app issues

Hi, I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing issues with the Wifi Tether app by Treve Mod? I CAN NOT use the tethering on my windows 8 laptop, but it works just fine with the 7 one. They are the same computers. My dad has the Note 2 and he uses the same app, and I can connect to his, and it will work fine. I don't know if it's a setting inside the app that is messed up on my phone, or what. Thanks, any recommendations will help.
I use it and don't have any major issues but you need specific settings in it to get infrastructure mode to work. Otherwise it just does ad hoc which may not work on some devices that won't support ad hoc wireless networks such as other phone or tablets. I will check my settings tomorrow and report back.

You mind posting the APK if possible? I am having a hard time finding it on GP, AMZ, or BM
I will try to get the apk I am using uploaded, for now here is a screenshot of the version as well as the settings I'm using. The reload wifi driver setting was key to getting it to work in infrastructure mode for me.
