* Netflix does not appear in the Market for Droid 3.
* Attempting to play a movie on Netflix on Droid 3 via sideload will crash your phone.
I side loaded it and it runs as far as the app but video is a bunch of green crap with no sound.

That's what I got. But seconds after the green crud... the phone rebooted itself.
Weird, especially given this: http://www.droid-life.com/2011/07/0...cation-droid3-just-got-a-lot-more-attractive/

I know, you'd think it'd be no problem, which is what I assumed. Perhaps support for the OMAP4 is coming via update?
That would be my guess. I think the D3 is the first with OMAP 4 in it, the Bionic is next so once a few devices have it and are selling Netflix will see a reason for it.
There is also multiple different netflix's out there, have you tried all of them?
Hi I tried netflix on cyanogenmod 7 and it worked fine, but when I try to do it in coredroid it said my phone was able. What sup with that.

I used the deviceless apk I snagged for my nook and tried it on the d3. I got the green screen bit, then it just kicked back to the netflix queue, no reboot.

I don't want to pay some other company every month to use their software to watch something offered by another company I pay money to.
Well if you can't wait just use a 30 day trial from playon.tv and get netflix that way.. I would imagine they will have the app by the end of this month or early next
Same here with the green crap. Audio actually does work, by the video decoding is busted. I used 3 or 4 different version of Netflix, some crashed my phone, others had the busted decoding.
It's compatible now, or so it says. Mine isn't working. It streams but everything is all green.

Yup same here. It will allow me to download and install from the market, but I get the green pixelated screen followed by a reboot.
Confirming, officially supported, and still officially broken.
The version you are downloaded is the 1.2.2 and we have to wait for the "official" 1.3 update. It seems Google is possibly being a little slow?
The 1.3 update just hit the android market and it now works for the D3... Although the colors are not as good as it looked on my old Droid Inc.
Maybe some tweaking can resolve the color issue...
Confirmed, updated version is working for D3 quite nicely.

Is there a chance we can port the Netflix App released for the iphone today?
I am sure that they'll release it for Android, but it would be nice in the meantime.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
I don't think it would be possible to port it without first having the netflix app's source code. Plus on top of that they are two totally different operating systems with different video / audio / graphics frameworks. It would probably be easier to just write one from scratch.
Your best bet at the moment would to be just to wait until netflix releases it or to see if the blockbuster app has been ported from the droid x. While the blockbuster app sucks because you would have to pay for each movie instead of having a netflix subscription I think its the only app right now that does streaming movies I hope netflix gets its act together soon!
No chance of porting it... Netflix has been actively hiring android developers, recently looking for "android video playback experts" the official app will come sooner or later.
Netflix Android app got released... but its not for the Aria yet :/
I downloaded and installed the apk on my Aria running Gene Poole's most recent Liberated ROM. It installs fine and I can add to and modify my queue, but playback doesn't seem to work. It says 'Loading...' for about 5 seconds then goes back to the apps main screen.
I've attached the apk for anyone who wants to test it.
A bit of a warning though, installed the app is ~22MB. Considering our phones have ~130MB user storage that is quite a big chunk. Luckily it supports a2sd, which shrinks it down to about 16MB
installe the app, UI is slow but playback is fine! FINALLY! yes it works on the Aria, this little phone never ceases to amaze me.
Worked for me too!

If you're running cm 7.0.0 or above, you can edit the build.prop to make it think our aria is a G2 or Nexus S. I tried it and everything works great.

stolen from a system dump? (if its even the same one)
PS quote from that page
"Brian 2 hours ago in reply to imperalix
You're missing the drm libraries. Maybe some smart dev can pull them from the system dump and get them working. Although thats exactly why netflix wont be out on the android market... hehe"
Got pretty excited earlier when I could sign in and see everything, then bummed when I couldn't watch anything. :-(
Damn drm.
So close. When trying to play a movie I get an error that Netflix service can't be reached.
I read that it was only unlocked for certain processors... I hope the Tegra will be on that list soon....
netflix is working with nvidia for tegra chips...but i am sure the devs can get this to work, i have tried it on my HTC incredible...same error!
snapdragon processors only rightnow i do believe
Is it possible that the app has a url or something that it's supposed to connect to for streaming, and since there are technically no android phones out that should actively be running this app, that maybe that url is not actively operating yet, and that after the LG becomes available, it may simply start working?
Just a thought...
MC
it's a DRM issue. Only certain chips have the appropriate DRM baked into them, which is why there are issues connecting to the streams. Unfortunately due to this limitation, I don't really see a decent workaround for getting streaming to work.
Hopefully someone on XDA can prove me wrong. I know both iOS and Microsoft have built themselves up around streamlining these DRM packages in with their software, but due to android's frequent updates and lack of included DRM integration with the OS at the 2.1/2.2 time, Netflix had to use alternate means of distributing to android. By the time Ice Cream Sandwich rolls around google should be on the ball with this stuff.
We'll see, though.

Yea, I found it a bit funny bc the description says its not compatible with tablets, yet Amazon website has a green compatible check mark next to the Xoom. Sow sadly it does start on a black screen on the xoom like its not going to work but if u keep taping the screen and tring to move stuff to the screen it will work.
I just loaded the app and it started. What kernel are you using? Are you on OC GPU? I don't like that OC stuff so I'm stock. I'm up to level 40 and it hasn't sputtered or crashed (knock on morning wood).

It seems to work for me.. the 'not for tablets' is probably because it isn't optimized as well as you have to scroll the screen a little bit up/down to see the top are of the screen for putting towers etc and down to put them on the lowest part of the playing field. Otherwise.. seems to work great for me.
I get an Unauthorized Request error when I start it up. I click OK and it closes .

I'm using a custom kernel. Try going to the dev section and looking in the Notubuntu thread. Flash that kernel and try it. Maybe its kernel related. Mines works fine everytime. I'm on wave 70 and no hiccups.
By the way I'm not overclocked or anything. I'm using the stock honeycomb also. If you guys are using a different ROM it could be an issue.

For me the trick is to do a two finger re-size on the black background, this causes the play field to be redrawn and works great.
Anyone have this issue? See the small text?
Man this game is harder than it looks. How the hell do I stop the helicopters from getting past? I feel like I'm upgrading the early buildings and its killing me!
I noticed that when my game ended and my name was on my high score list. I could not read the list. Either the text was microscopic or was not working correctly.

Early on drop a middle launcher along the aircraft flight path, then lightning generators later in the round.
I have the same "small text" issue with the high scores screen - this is probably the reason this game isn't "approved" for tablets.

Showing as incompatible for my Xoom running Eos 2.0.0, but compatible for my Nook Tablet running CM9 so I bought it and am going to try and side load.
Is it showing up as compatible for anyone on their Xoom on a different rom?
Edit: Sideloading seems to have worked, downloading the hundreds of mb worth of stuff now. So if you have a device that is compatible, you should be okay. Note, that sideloading without purchasing likely will not work, as I'm pretty sure it still checks to see if you purchased.
Edit2: Download is complete, game is running and looks great.
I noticed a little lag when you get the mission complete menus that pop up, but game play is really fantastic.
So I just checked the Play Store website, it's actually showing up as compatible with my Xoom now. Anyone else seeing it that way?

I have a Touchpad with both WebOS and KitKat 4.4/CyanogenMod.
It's rooted and runs like a champ, but when I try to watch Prime movies I get a message that my device isn't supported. Amazon gives you a choice of using Silverlight or Flash, so I choose Flash and then installed the modded Flash apk from another thread, but still nothing.
Do I have to do something to make Amazon think I have a different device?
I would love an "easy" way to do this, but I'm not opposed to playing around a bit to get my feet wet with modding (within reason).

Based on a few other threads on this subject, I uninstalled my browsers and Flash and then tried them one at a time, but still no luck.
Puffin browser gets me to the video page, but it then says I have to pay for the upgraded version for Flash support.

Unfortunately I think I'm out of luck.
I can get Flash installed, but the Amazon site doesn't load the "Play" options and instead refers me to a list of "Supported Devices" and indicates that I'm not using one.
I guess I could edit my device somehow so the Amazon site thinks it's something else? Not sure about the cascading effects of other things though.

But only in Dolphin browser...but that's fine with me.
I followed the Flash install instructions in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785091
I then attempted to load Prime in Firefox and Chrome with no luck. I loaded Prime in Dolphin and it appeared to be loading for a LONG time (circle in the video screen), and I was about to give up, but on a whim I re-sized the screen and then shrunk it back again and presto! It worked.
Maybe stretching and then re-sizing the screen forced it to reload somehow, but my Touchpad now gets me the movies I wanted.
Now if I could just get the Optimum app working!!!!!
Thanks!
