4.2.2 and Netflix - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 with stock ROM. I got the 4.2.2 update via OTA a couple of weeks ago. I did a factory reset and since then, Netflix has been laggy and buffering like crazy. Anyone have any idea as to what to do? Is it me? Netflix?
Thanks in advance.

56 views and nothing, huh? Seems to be par for the course. If anyone has anything on this, please let me know.

Sorry i haven't seen any issues with my 4.2.2 OTA update on the Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5113 with NetFlix. Maybe something different but i would highly doubt much difference between the ROMs.

I am guessing there isn't any difference between 7.0 and 10.1. I have asked in other forums and no one seems to have an answer. There was one other person with a Tab 2 7.0 with issues with NetFlix and Hulu Plus. Seems to be hit and miss.

I was told that my slower internet connection has a lot to do with it. Since it is in HD all the time, and doesn't change with your connection, it causes it to stutter.

I have had the same problem. I am not so sure it is the internet connection. I get 20Mb speedtest results when I am experiencing this.

I did a factory reset and still had issues so I did a second factory reset and made sure that google didn't install any apps that were on my account (went into play store and stopped the automatic installs after I added my account). Seems to be working now, so I guess there was a badly behaving app that I had installed. I am not sure what it was, I have reinstalled most of what I had on there before, it is still working.

I am going to have to try that. Thanks a lot.

I did this yesterday after my Tab was running like complete crap. It worked. No stutter or anything after the second reset. I just kept some apps off that I didn't really need off of it. Is yours still running ok after these few days? Thanks for your input.

[Q] Downloads always unsuccessful?

Anytime I try to download and apk from a website (not just off xda, but websites with paid apps like Gameloft) the download will always be unsuccessful. I've tried a ton of different browsers and different sd cards and nothing seems to help make it work. I've also tried wi-fi or 4g and it always become unsuccessful. I am running Lithium v1.2 and really want to get some Gameloft games off their website. Any help?
Use the opera browser. It is free on market.

I finally had the great idea to wipe the cache (I should have done that a week ago) and I got it working, thanks for the help you guys though. So, can a Mod close this thread down?
I think it has to do with the stock browser. I had the same problems. I made my own browser on maxthons website and been using it lately. Everything seems to be ok so far with the downloads.

What exactly do you mean by "made your own"?
Even I have this problem.. Unmounting and remounting the sdcard usually solves this for me..

If you go to maxthons website you can create your own browser. I used it for a couple of days and didn't really like it but it does work for big downloads.

XDA app?

Xda app keeps closing whenever you hit back while trying to navigate within forum or threads.
Anyone experience this on new Gal tab2 10.1?

No problems with Tapatalk...
For me... the xda app chews around 40-60% of processor capacity before it freezes out. Tried reinstalling but the problem persists.
Tapatalk seems to be working okay.

I think we are dealing with an ics issue here, I think the xda app devs fell asleep at the wheel and didn't do there ics homework! Maybe they don't know what ics stands for, it ain't "I crave salami".

I believe that the XDA App is just a custom Tapatalk App. However, it would receive updates outside of the main Tapatalk App, so it's possible that it hasn't received the updates and bug fixes that the main app has yet. Maybe one of the Mods/Admins can try and get the issue resolved.
Thanks for your input, imnuts . Hope I find a solution soon, running one free app, and two paid apps and still can't use any of them without it becoming a pain in the ass, and draining the juice out of the battery.

As someone else has mentioned, Tapatalk works perfectly -- which it does.
Try emailing them about the issue(s) you're having. The contact email from the Play Store is [email protected] I also saw that there was an XDA Premium HD app that is supposedly meant for tablets. Hopefully that isn't what is required as it doesn't look like there is a free version of the tablet app.
Tried running free xda app, also xda HD, still no good. I guess I can spend another 3.00 bucks and experiment for the dev dept. With tapatalk. And that's no guaranty that its going to work.

Paid xda app has never fc'd on this tab in the last 3 weeks for me. Running stock deodexed Rom.
good day.
Chopper the Dog, Does that mean you are rooted at present ? Not sure if you can deodex without rooting.
(I don't think so)
Thanks for your input.

### issue resolved ###
Issue was caused by setting in "developer option" - "do not keep activities" this needs to be un checked , not sure what this setting is for, but it can be a pain if checked.

Yea I've had the same problem. Some people are able to freeze it but I've tried on my last s3 and this replacement one. It'll freeze then as soon as I restart there defrosted. Its weird.
Tap'n
Same problem here, I even tried disabling them on another non rooted phone.
I can't imagine any problems from uninstalling them, but I just got used to freezing them on reboot or just leaving them alone.
Glad I'm not the only one having this issue.

It's been always working for me, except occasional issues specifically related to CM10. (Netflix tends to be the worst-case stress test for AOSP firmwares.)
There was one case where it would just crash on startup - clearing data fixed that.
Mine is working, even after accidentily updating. From what i've read, i won't update on my sgs3 because it takes away LTE/4G viewing and you can now only view in wifi mode. If this is incorrect please someone correct me.
It used to work very well, however lately I can open the app, search for the show i wanna watch, but when I touch it to select it, it just sits there, doing nothing. The app doesn't freeze, as I can back out of the search, but it just doesn't let me load the seasons/episodes.

I actually had this happen on my gray version. I quit the application (force close if i had to) and restarted. When netflix started it would be in portrait mode, but then it would play in landscape

Cache cleaned, removed and reinstalled updates, nothing helps. It was fine until the 9/6 update. Great.
Mine works fine too... maybe its time to factory reset if the problem persist and hope it fixes it.

Thanks, but no. I'd rather live without search until they do the next update.
Hi guys,
I totally forgot about "Delete Data" option ... relogged in and everything works lovely! thanks.

open Netflix after the update, and go into settings to uncheck the option for "Wifi only"
Oddly enough, Netflix won't let me search/watch sons of anarchy. Every other search seems fine. Not sure what that's about...

Slow Recent Apps Tab

Hi all.
I'm running rooted 4.1.2 on 8013, with multiwidow app installed. I have very slow reaction from recent apps tab. It opens immediately but is not responding to 3-5 seconds. After few seconds it works fine. Have you seen this problem?
Thanks!

Same setup on N8000. I've noticed considerable lag with scrolling the recent apps. I have to remove some apps to see the whole list. It will not scroll at first.

If you're rooted, u could play around with some different CPU settings. Otherwise, we gotta wait for Sammy to send a patch. This problem wasn't on the Mr.Darkman German 4.1.2 ROM though.

Been troubleshooting this for a while. Fixed by modding less apps in multiscreen mode...it's not like we need 100 apps in multiscreen mode anyway.
