At first I was like OMG, but alas, streaming does not work.
I'm also interested in this, i'll try and find one after my class lets out. There is an app to stream tv shows that I use and it's pretty good, has alot of tv shows. https://market.android.com/details?id=tvshows.kiio.es

Yes I use TV Shows stream as well and its quite awesome although a tad expensive but at least its only a one time fee. Definitely give it a look. Tons of shows to choose from. I use it every day on my tab both with and without my HDMI dock.
T-Mobile tab running latest Overcome
The tv shows stream app is amazing. The quality of the videos varies but the sheer amount of shows available makes up for it.
I've been doing some research and just looking into it I have the leaked app but not streaming I'm able to move my que and all that good jazz but my question is how exactly is netflix blocking streaming from my Droid and letting streaming on Windows 7 phone and the iPhone...Verizon has both on their network.

DRM in the hardware. The LG Revolution will have NetFlix which supports said DRM. We have the same processor as that phone so hopefully NetFlix adds support for the Thunderbolt.
I was at class all day but I found this link, says it works' for certain devices

As far as I know the leaked netflix app that was announced a few weeks ago doesn't work on the Tbolt.
Oh well. There isn't any other app that I am aware of and I've been an Android girl for over a year now.. So I think you might be out of luck. There is a website though that is java enabled that I use to be able to watch movies through my phone. Hope that eases a bit of the frustration Netflix is causing by not providing an app yet for us
The website name is veetle dot com & I also love LOVE the TV Stream app. That works wonders for me. Hope this helps
Playon works! Had mine working but then my mobile connection broke. Never got to try mobile data to wee how it streams but worked well with WiFi.

Correct, it doesn't work on the TB right now... But it doesn't work on any other phone either at this moment. That's because it is assumed that Netflix hasn't yet "flipped the switch" to turn it on since it's not yet ready for primetime (the .apk itself was prematurely pulled from an upcoming LG ROM dump) and has not yet been 'officially' released from Netflix.
The Bolt has the same processor as the upcoming LG device that is confirmed to support Netflix. As such, it is presumed that the Bolt has the same DRM keys to allow for streaming. It's just a matter of Netflix enabling streaming to the app on their end
From what I understand from one of our reps, is that there is a going to be a netflix streaming app working on Verizon soon, they are waiting for a specific phone to launch it.
can't wait!
So do we know maybe an ETA on when we can expect to see it go live?

Probably around the time the LG Revolution drops (since it is likely the phone that is slated to "launch" the Netflix app), which is scheduled for a Q2 release
That is correct, will first launch on the Revolution. You guys don't have to much longer to wait

I might actually restart my netflix service when this comes live. Might not be so bad watching movies on this screen. My Inc was just a little too small to really enjoy.
Anyone have a problem with their amazon app icons disappearing from their apps? I rebooted and several are gone. I can launch them by going through the amazon app, but it's a pain in the butt.

I always seem to lose an amazon app every time I flash a rom/update a rom. Never fails, usually the last one that I installed. Whether I TiBU'd days before flashing or immediately before.
But as far as the icon's disappearing, not having that issue.
You could always try to un/reinstall the apps... the apks should still be on your phone.... I haven't heard much about the icon disappearing, are they also gone from the app drawer?
As for jonnie... this may sound asinine but are you sure you ran TB after the lastest install and before the flash? That may be why the last app installed would be gone
Good Luck
PM me & let me know how it goes

The market does the same thing with all apps that you've purchased. And technically you're purchasing everything from the amazon app store.

+1 Be it free or paid, in Amazon market, everything is considered purchased.
So...lets say I got the app when it was free. If I uninstall it...then decide I want it later, when its not free, do I pay or does amazon know I got it when it was free?

I got talking cat when it was free. Then uninstalled. Now its $0.99 in amazon. But for me, I can still find it under "my apps" for free.
Once purchased is purchased, u'd become immune to future price changes.

Yes they still offer it for no cost. Once purchased, free or not, Its yours for good. It is your amazon account that records it.

OK I think I have figured it out... or at least a theory. I was in Korea at the time when it happened. I'm now back in the USA and after a reboot, they are back again. It's got to have something to do with location.

I think you figured it out. I know right after I flashed a custom rom, my amazon mp3 app started showing that I was in EU not US because the local had been changed so I couldn't buy mp3's till I fixed it. Media laws prevent me from using EU mp3 app.

I found that a couple of my apps from amazon were on the SD card. When I rebooted, the icons were not on the home page. After moving them to the phones memory, no more probs. Give it a try!
All mine are already there, so that rules that out.

Greetings all.
I recently got a new sgs3, so my cappy was just sitting there.
So, even though I was still updating it, I was not really using it.
So I basically have made it a multimedia device.
I have it set on airplane mode with Wi-Fi on. Its got my music and a few games on it. I also loaded audible.com app on it and I sync all my books to it. Since audible now syncs where you are in books, this is a fantastic feature.
What do you use you're old cappy for?

I use my Captivate for music.

Still using mine!
Going strong now with a brand new 1800mAh battery and running AOKP
I flash new nightlies and use it around home / the office / the gym on WiFi when I want to conserve my Nexus 4's battery or don't want it to get broken.

Mine's getting flashed to stock and traded with my wife's whose power button stopped working. I'll use her old phone for testing apps on Gingerbread and as a backup in case something happens to the Nexus 4 or her phone.
It's been nice. Would've been 5 times nicer if GPS was adequate.

Gave it to my girlfriend, totally converted her from iphone to android. Of course this is after itunes, or the icloud, ot something totally ate her 100 gig music collection. Now all her music is on my server and she can get to it from wherever on the cappy. She doesn't have to even pay an annual fee.
She just has to make me a sammich.

Just picked up an s3 for the wife and a nexus 4 for myself to replace our Cappy's.
Is there ea ROM specifically designed to not be a phone? If not what ROM are you running old Cappy for non phone functions.
I've also considered use as a dashcam, but i think it might invite break-ins lol.

Simply keep the phone in airplane mode, the less widget possible and have it on conservative = best battery life for non-phone functions.
For games although, you might not wanna have it on conservative. On demand is a great middle.
use it for daily life :fingers-crossed:

To be honest, I think the folks in other countries are in a slightly worse boat. At least US users of non-rooted Chromecasts still have all the stock apps including HBO Go and Pandora. Seems like the folks in Canada are having trouble even with those.
If we're lucky there will be a nice Christmas (or pre-Christmas) present from Google...

I'd say that's definitely gonna be the case, especially since Google is conducting their Google Cast SDK "Hackathon" on Dec. 7-8th. I'd say the SDK will be released either at that time or less than a week after. My bet is that it will be officially released immediately following that event though.
Just bought one today and was really disappointed to find out it's not rootable because it's the new firmware. Hoping there's a fix soon..

Yeah since I'm outside the US and have an unrootable Chromecast I had to buy a new wireless router just so I could use DD-WRT to get around the Chromecast's built-in Google DNS and access the US Netflix library. But on the bright side it's a damn good router even without the Chromecast :laugh:
Same prob here, I was in a rush to try it out, I forgot to check xda first. The device is currently just lying in the drawer as I hardly use it since I live in Singapore so I got no netflix, just YT lol

Yes, if done via the Cast extension for Chrome, but this does on-the-fly transcoding (decode/re-encode) on your computer so it needs some CPU horsepower.
Chromecast cannot natively play Flash, rooted or not.

Yeah mine was a 3a as well, I didn't even try to root it after reading this. Plus my otg is unpowered. Figured I can look for a older one and just buy another since they are cheap and try again or just hope with the release of sdk....
