same here. loads up, starts to play the movie, loading and buffering (isee the data transfer), but no playback. first time i've actually used it on this device though, i've only tethered with it before. works fine on my verizon nexus 6.
i'm rooted, deodex, and with beastmode kernel.

Just tried Netflix this morning, same deal, just buffers forever.
I'm rooted, running stock deodex with beastmode kernel.
Anybody without root tried Netflix?

I'm not rooted and I get the same thing.

Downloaded an older version from the Netflix website and it works fine.
They say it's for the "Galaxy Tab 10.1". This will work for now until they fix the problem.

Seems like Netflix was recently updated and is still not working.

I think it deals with tripping Knox's and flagging the device, so it may never effect other device's besides Samsung. I haven't notice issues with other devices outside of Samsung. It may also be something with the latest Lolipop.

I have no issues with Netflix. Rooted stock rom

Are there any advantages to using the stock playstore netflix on our devices?

Ah ok.
Off topic, but I wanted to use some of their inverted apps but most of their apps are older versions of Google Apps.

They get around to updating them. Just takes a little while as the playstore is constantly updating. To me their work is worth the wait. I prefer that to the minute updates that are normally provided by google.

Easy fix after root. Use a root explorer and go to /system/lib/liboemcrypto.so. Rename the "liboemcrypto.so" file to "liboemcrypto.so.bak" and you'll be able to stream netflix and use other video streaming apps. I take no credit for this fix. Credit goes to "chipworkz".

4.3 Update Rolling Out To GE S4

And it started.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...e-play-edition-samsung-galaxy-s4-and-htc-one/
Probably a dumb question, but anybody know a way to force the update? I'd really like to get my phone to 100% stock, official 4.3 firmware.
I wonder how long it takes until there is a pre-rooted flashable ROM available. So glad they are updating this phone quickly.

I used the trick of clearing Google Application Framework. Worked like a charm! I'm pulling the OTA file now before I update.
Try to pull the zip file if you can. I think you can flash it with the stock recovery.
So I got the update OTA on my T-Mobile GS4 running the rom from this thread.
Anyone know what will happen if I update? I don't know if I'll lose root, recovery, etc.

I am on a Google Edition I9505G, I reverted back to stock recovery and was able to flash this just fine. Your mileage may vary if you do not have a GT-I9505G. It may turn your device into a lawnmower...I just dunno.
I'll inspect when I get home. The ATT and I9505 are pretty much the same. I've been running I9505 GE ROM without issue for a bit while. If its just a kernel and system update then it should be fine. We will see shortly.
Can you still get the OTA if you are rooted? I've cleared Google Service Framework but I'm still not getting it.
Haven't noticed it mentioned on any websites yet, but a notable change is with cover view, we reverted from thin font time to Google favored fat hours & skinny minutes. Yuck.

Not trying to be snarky, but what good is a smartphone without internet access? Sounds like a $400 paperweight. Are you running a virus scanner that could possibly be blocking sideloading?

I'm having a similar issue. I've been using a slingplayer app that I downloaded over two years ago. I had it working on my Nexus 5 until I switched to ART. After the switch it wouldn't install. I switched back to Dalvik and now it won't reinstall. I can and have installed every other apk on my phone with no problem since switching back except for this one. Any suggestions?

Tried that and it didn't work, but...
PROBLEM SOLVED! What I did was to do a thorough search inside my root to find anything related to the app I was trying to install. I found out that the app has somewhat partially installed in few places. I then deleted all of those and tried installing again. Worked.

I also tried switching between Dalvik and ART but it didn't seem to change anything. I suggest you search your root for any remnants of the app you want to install. Look in data/app, data/app-lib, data/data and system/app.

Tubemate is the answer. Granted you have to download the video. Allows you to download 1080 at 60fps and 1440p normal fps.

Netflix app not compatible with my device (FRD-L04)

Hello
Recently, I tried to install the Netflix app in my device, FRD-L04, and notice it didn't appear in the search in the Play Store. Then, I proceed to search for it using my PC, found it and when trying to install to my device, there was the message that the app was not compatible with my phone.
I'm currently running update B385 but I believe I had the app when I was using B360. Does anyone else have experienced the same issue? I had to go to Netflix webpage and from there, download the APK for old Android versions (4.4 and later).
That's because you have your phone rooted.
Simply search and download the early version of Netflix (Netflix-4.16.1 build 15145) and you got it running.

As far as I know, my phone is not rooted. Just an unlocked bootloader, unless that counts as being rooted. Which would be weird, because I can still install Netflix in my old Nexus 7, which is not only booloader unlocked, but also flashed with a custom rom.
Just checked with a couple root checker apps and both of them tell me that my device is not rooted.

Hello,
As you guys maybe already aware of that, LZPlay website and the app as been shuting down. For people who already have downloaded the app, don't try it now, it won't work.
