Yo,
I noticed that my mate 7 doesn't stream in hd to my chromecast using Netflix (popcorntime does it tough)
Is this something that Netflix won't do? Ive read something about it on the web but I can't get a clear answer... Does Netflix chose phones by hardware to watch in hd?

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.
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!!
Anyone know of a way to mirror the screen from the Maxx HD to a HDTV or Roku box? Something like the apple airplay equivalent. I just got a Roku box and have been playing around with it and I have used apps like Twonky Beam and Juice, which will beam content like music or pictures or video that's stored on the phone to the Roku. But I want to be able to stream anything that's on the screen, like play a concert from Concert Vault on the phone and stream it to the Roku.
Not sure anything like this is available.
Allot of new phones being released will have miracast. This is the technology standard you'll need for android. I'm guessing its a hardware thing so may not come to RAZR HD. ;( hope I'm wrong.

As far as I know Roku still doesn't support dlna, so I don't think you can beam to your TV via the Roku. There is a Plex channel but I think it only streams from a pc on your local network.

HDMI out ?

It looks like Doubletwist for android has airplay support, would work with Apple TV. Have to decide if it's worth it to return my Roku and get an Apple TV. It looks like Concert Vault is no longer free anyways so that was the main reason I wanted it, to stream concert videos from Concert Vault to the TV.

Yes HDMI works but the couple times I tried it the picture was crap.

This phone does have dual band WiFi so it's possible we could see Miracast support in a future update. At least, that's what I'm hoping for because DLNA is kind of a hassle, and really not supported at all by today's streaming apps like Netflix. Recent news says Netflix and YouTube are looking into another protocol called DIAL, which is really an interface where you pick the video, but the box connected to the TV does the streaming from the internet. I think that is the future for this kind of thing. Why should I have to stream it from my phone? Same for music services.
If you're streaming from your own personal collection, then DLNA and PlugPlayer work well if you have a DLNA server and a receiver like a PS3.

I thought Miracast had to be built into the chip, like Tegra 3. Not sure a firmware update would do it.

The only thing required for Miracast is WiFi Direct support (which most devices released in the past year or two have). Assuming we see a 4.2 update, which has Miracast mirroring baked in, all we would need are receivers to display the content (it seems not many exist at this point).

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.
Hey guys,
I recently bought the jaybirds bluebudsx headphones. I love them for the most part, however I'm getting some audio lag when trying to watch netflix movies. Confirmed it's not happening with speakers or normal plug in headphones.
Also doesn't seem to be happening with local video files though. Anyone else experiencing the same issue?
Yep, same here with Jaybird Freedom Sprint, running Android 4.4.2 and Netflix 3.1.0. YouTube, Vimeo and local vids fine.
You'll get the usual "Bluetooth is laggy" rubbish from some of the answers here, but on different devices (i.e. laptop) my headphones work fine with Netflix.
Nexus 10 running 4.4.2 not quite as bad, but still there.

Amusingly my Nexus 7 has even worse lag.
On the Nexus 5 I tested with some videos through Diceplayer and MX player and no audio lag. For some reason only the netflix app.
