Netflix HD - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone here using Netflix on note 10.1 ?
I find the video quality really poor and was looking to find if enabling netflix HD is possible
There are some moded netflix apps but all are pretty old versions.
Any suggestions ?

Are you confident your connection has the bandwidth for HD?
I'm using Version 2.3.0 on my Note 10.1, and it seems to always show in HD, when applicable. I don't see any settings to affect this. In fact, I don't see any settings at all in the app.

yup. I am using wifi and on a pretty good internet cable.

It's gotta be something on your end; after the first few seconds of lousy video (which is intentionally done by NF to determine your potential bandwidth), it's crystal-clear here.

[Resolved] Netflix?

When is Android getting a Netflix app that supports streaming?

iOS and WP7 have it? Why not Android?

I have a Netflix account that begs to be streamed on my 7" Samsung Galaxy Tab.
My Tab works fine with several video streaming sites - but Netflix refuses to install directly from their web site...saying that my device is not supported.
I understand the process. But I'm growing a strong resentment of Netflix's attitude about this whole thing. They imply that they just haven't certified that the Galaxy Tab is compatible with their streaming service. Yet many comparable android devices are. Sheesh, how long could it take to check that out?
I have a feeling that Netflix has made a deal somewhere to delay or obfuscate the use of devices competitive to the iPad (or maybe some other tablet). Who knows?
But it is frustrating to say the least.
i had read somewhere that netflix did not want to release it until all problems were worked out, and since there are many different versions of Android (EVO, DESIREHD, NEXUS) they wanted to have a universal. To say the least android required more from the dev team. Should be out very soon, but if not im sure there are leaks somewhere.

[Q] Possible way to mirror phone screen over DLNA?

I know it's a huge disappointment that HTC didn't put in a HDMI port, something that didn't bother me until recently.
I know for a fact that DLNA works great for streaming videos and photos taken on my phone to my TV, even on CM7.
I also just recently saw those youtube videos of guys using their Evo 4gs as their desktop, and wondered if there was a way for this to be accomplished on our phones. I was mainly thinking there was some way to work some magic over DLNA, and then bluetooth speakers, mouse and keyboard for the rest.
Anyone know if this is possible at all or even semi possible?
(I tried to search before posting but the search was down)
I'm also looking for an answer to this
I would like to see some idea on this too. I guess we're in the minority.
I agree as well, this is something I would be interested in. I remember when I bought my previous phone (nokia 5800 XM). I was quite excited about it's video out function, only to find it's composite analog video out to be wanting.
When I was trying to decide between inspire and the Atrix, a big deciding point for me was the untested nature of the dual core, and so far I like the results of my choice, the 2nd gen snapdragon has plenty of ooomph to play my highly compressed x264 mkvs and the battery is somewhat reasonable, however the screen mirroring is something I would really be interested in, surely with the gpu/cpu combo in place some kind of solution could be put into place, it doesn't take that much bandwidth to push a 2d desktop worth of images, especially with modern network speeds.
Here's hoping!
I am really hoping for a way to do this too. That new crackle app would be a lot nicer if I could watch it on my tv.

I was searching for it too, but no luck.... Hope someone gets hands on this
I'm also looking for a way to mirror the screen of my sony tablet S to the TV set - via dlna?
would be cool to hear from someone with dlna related developement experience.
They say it's not even possible to make a screenshot on android without root permissions. (no, please dont start a discussion about screenshots now, explaining how wrong I am
Dude, I think you've got the wrong section, this is the INSPIRE 4G SECTION.
hope someone posts a tutorial
no matter what section. the problem is the same on all dlna capable devices.

HBO and Netflix App

I am happy to see the Netflix and HBO Go app works great on the Note. My only concern is that I noticed the voice is not synced with the video using Netflix while streaming over 3g. Is there any way to fix this? Also, is there a HD version of the HBO app because the picture does not seem sharp enough like it did on my iphone. It's not really that bad but it seems a shame that the app doesn't take advantage of such a great screen with the Note.
Yes, I've noticed that. HBOGO shows very low res on my Note as well.

Can the 10.1 stream tv shows?

I am considering purchasing the Tab 2 10.1 and have been reading reviews but haven't come across anything regarding streaming media from the network sites like ABC and CBS. Can anyone tell me how well the Galaxy handles this? I'm also wondering how well the Netflix app runs. Thanks!
Anything you can do on previous Android devices you will be able to do on this tablet. So I would assume that you can.
Well I have a Transformer Prime currently but it constantly reboots when streaming so that's why I'm curious about the Galaxy. Prior to the Prime I had an iPad.
No problems streaming here
I have been able to stream movies from HBO.com, amazon instant videos, and other various websites with no problems... I think as long as you have adobe flash installed it should be fine. I love my new galaxy tab 2 10.1, I was thinking about getting an iPad but am a huge Android OS fan and the new ICS is amazing in tablet form... Its definitely a worth while purchase... I primarily use mine to watch movies and TV either through streaming or downloaded movies and I have no complaints...
Well the netflix app runs flawlessly. It's one of the most used apps on my tab. I haven't streamed through any other apps all though i have installed Hulu and it appears to work as well.
Hulu Plus works great, as does Crackle.

Streaming is the big reason I have ordered Gtab 2 p5113--should be arriving tomorrow. I love my amazon prime videos and can't use it on the "other" device which makes me cranky. Very excited!!
yes, for sure!
And for iptv streams i'm using ITPV application from market
Amazon Prime streams like a champ! Yeah!!

Have a Favii Smart Stick, looking for something better, supports 5ghz wifi

So the Smart stick running a custom rom was cool for a while. The modded version of XBMC using MX player is great for using the 1channel and icefilms plug ins, but using netflix or HBO go is absolutely horrible. I was thinking of just tossing it on the bedroom tv and upgrading to one of the quad core devices for the main room but I have no clue which one to choose. Do any of them support 5ghz wifi for better video streaming? Which is the best if I wanted to play games? Best wifi signal ect. It seems every review on here has people that love their model and people that absolutely hate it.
