The standard, "untouched" Netflix app should work fine now that the device check has been removed (this is the one magicriggs linked to with the Droid Life article). I've been using it for a couple days now with no issue.

The one from DROID life works fine for me. The one that had the device check disabled started getting errors saying that the app needed to be updated.
The unhacked Netflix app works great on mine!

I downloaded it from your confirmed link and it works great, the constant "would you like to update" notification is no longer interrupting playback.
Thanks again.
I am getting the update check nag when I first start the app, but not during playback. Rooted Droid X2. Froyo 2.2
I used this link: http://www.droid-life.com/2011/05/2...ice-check-should-work-on-all-android-devices/
Does anyone have the latest APK? It's constantly nagging to update and won't allow me to update because the Droid X2 isn't allowed to access it in market. It still works fine, but that update nag screen is getting annoying. I watch a lot of NETFLIX LOL :/
here it is.
Thanks!

This is great, but I can't imagine using Netflix too often. When do you find yourself in a situation where watching TV/Movies on your phone is your best option? (open question)

I am a geotechnical engineer and (especially in spring and summer) do a decent amount of field work, ie not in my office. Sometimes when out on a site there is a lot of unforeseen down time before my responsibilities are called upon... That's when king of the hill episodes in my car in the shade come up big in the clutch.

With the size and resolution of the screen on this phone, I could see it as an excellent video device. I personally don't have a ton of times I'd use it a such though, hence my question.
Thanks for the answer.

I'm using eclipse 2.0.1 so it may be because im using 2.3.5, because it doesn't show up for me
Sent from my DROID X2
On Liberty 3 and shows up and downloads fine
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
It could be that you are on 2.3.5 since 2.3.5 isnt official yet. That might be another reason why I'll hold off on updating until its official.
Runs amazing for me on Molten. No issues at all. Even download the files over 3G.

Running Eclipse and it works great but does have a few framerate issues does yours?
What's the version number and build number for 2.3.4? Because just changing the prop to look like 2.3.4 didn't work
Sent from my DROID X2
EDIT: I got it working, just flashed the mash-up Build Prop for 2.3.4,had to clear cache and Dalvik
Well it took 72 minutes to download with 3g and was 423mb but wow it was worth it. Reminds me of how cool it was 10 years ago. Never thought that I could be playing it on a phone. It is exactly as I remember with nothing left out so thank you Rockstar

FYI I got 2.3.5, used tegra zone to find it, but links to market which says it is not compatible
I finally got it downloaded, but I can't drive any cars because it just keeps making them go left, wtfff?!

Same here lol not a good thing to do on the side walk.
I just downloaded it and it's working fine here on Eclipse 2.0.2. I couldn't download it from the Market on 2.0.2 since it said it was incompatible. I used my last 1.3 nand to download the .apk then applied it to 2.0.2, then waited as it downloaded the 400+ MB of files. Plays fine, although a little choppy in spots.
running on eclipse 1.3rc2, not really seeing any issues w/ game play, seems pretty smooth. Using tweaked minfrees and sd read ahead,not sure if this even matters (1536,3072,20992,22784,24832,32000)(2048). Just wish there was support for the wii controller...
Working fine for me
Anyone else have trouble when downloading the required files? I've tried about a half a dozen times over wi-fi and it will finish downloading all but 1% (says 3 files left) and it just hangs.
Haven't tried it over 3g, mostly because the service in my area is horrid.
you have to wait longer, i thought it hung too but it's not, just give it time, and i had to reboot once before it played correctly.
I think maybe the large gap in time is because it is moving it from cache to the android/data location. Just try again, and give it time. it will work
Agreed, give it time at the end. Works fine for me on Liberty rc31. Every once in a while it shutters, but not often. LOVE THIS GAME!

I have this issue where my phone screen will randomly become unresponsive. To get it back all I have to do is shut the screen off and back on and the it will accept my input. The menu, home, back, and search buttons will still work just the screen wont respont to me touching it. It may happen several time in a few minutes. Then again i might go a day it only happen once. I dont recall this happening on unrooted 2.2.2 but Im not 100% sure. It does do it 2.3.3, 2.3.4, 2.3.5, and it has done it on Liberty, Eclipse, and Molten. If anyone else has run into this problem and has a way to fix it i sure would appreciate the help.
I have the same issue. Its a deffective screen. No matter what rom you are ob it will be there. And if your is like mine it was there on 2.2.2 unrooted.
Answer to it is getting a referb. But what i learned on referbs from moto (i went through 6 razr2 in one 1 hr never left the verizon store. One worse then the other) so if thats all your worring about then id say put up with it you could get one thats even more of a pos.
Its only annoying to me when it acts up while im typing a long txt or playing a game other then that its two presses and a swipe and all better (and mine happens at least 6 times a day everyday) consider yourself lucky you could have my pos dx2.

Ok. Its not to bad I mean Ive kinda gotten use to it. Its just annoying as hell cause it always happens at the worst time.
Mine does this too from time to time. Same fix.. Turn screen off and then back on and all is well again. Hasnt done it a long time though

If mine did that more then once I would be in with Verizon getting a replacement...not a refurb. No way would I deal with a unresponsive screen but mine is only a few weeks old. If you deal with them right you might get a new phone out of it. The in store employees have always treated me well.
Over the course of 6 months back when I had my Samsung Rogue they exchanged it for a new one 3 times until I got a new one. After about a month or so it would start to randomly reboot.

I could never get it to reboot in there so I would explain the issue and politely suggest that I should switch to a different carrier since I cant depend on my phone and it worked every time.
I might go up to the store and see what they will do. At the worst im still stuck with the phone till I upgrade.
This sounds like a defective screen. You should look into getting a replacement.

Mine does this quite regularly, and I have issues typing sometimes because of this. It's incredibly aggravating, but I'm getting a GNex soon, so I'm not too worried about it anymore.

Shmooz them.with all the I love the network. Ut this screen just drives me nuts and blah blah. Then shmooz into you need a replacement cuz you've only had is x amount of days...then if they agree to it just bring up you know when I got this phone this other phone wasn't out and I would got that one. Instead of giving me a new one how about I just pay the difference with the upgrade cost like if I just upgraded now instead. I mean a sale is a sale and im just trying to have a good phone I don't trust this one not to brake again. Maybe throw in id hate to have to go to att or sprint for a good phone.

This phone is a replacement. My first x2 had an unfortunate accident at the river. This one wasn't stock for an hour before I was getting eclipse on it. So I was asking to be sure it couldn't be related to the things I had changed on my phone. If I had be certain of this yes I would have gone directly to Verizon.

One sure fire way to be certain is to sbf to stock. If the problem continues then you know its hardware related.

I have sbf multiple times since I've noticed it. It has done it every time, and every rom, even when i went and mixed and matched between a couple different roms. So from what I've heard it is deffinetly hardware related, which is why i asked. So to all of you who have helped me, a big thank you.
I've had this happen too. Not hardware related though. In my case it was caused by Launcher Pro. Switched to Go Launcher and haven't had a problem since. Might be something to look into if you use LP too.

Anyone know why videos on Netflix are all pixelated on the x2? Is there a fix?
Sent from my MB870 using XDA App
My guess is you have a connection problem of some sort. Are you using it on wireless or 3g? Mine is usually clear. Only time it gets pixelated is when my internet connection is acting up (having trouble with it at home right now). When the connection is working as it should, Netflix works great. If my connection starts going bonkers, the picture will pixelate for a few seconds and then clear up again as the signal gets better. Until my internet problems at home, I never had any problems with it. This reminds me. Have to call my ISP, again.
Tried on my wifi McDonald's wifi 3g. All Pixelated

Netflix looks good on mine. On 3G Nd wifi.
Sent from my MB870 using xda premium
Just tried on my home wifi. Looks just fine, although at the beginning it was pixelated. IIRC Netflix tried to use an algorithm to change its quality to best suit your connection speeds. As has been said previously, WIFI is recommended over 3G, but you might also want to look into some scripts (speedy comes to mind, but I haven't kept up with that compared to what comes with the latest roms tbh).

Its most likely a network difference. The Thunderbolt has 4G, and the X2 has 3G. The reason you just downgraded is because the X2 is way faster than the Thunderbolt. The Tegra 2 processor is no joke.
Actually its a major upgrade. Even rooted with cm7 the thunderbolt is blowing the x2 out of the water

Mmhmm.... Where are you getting your information? What are you basing this on? Which device was running CM7?
Basing it off being able to fly through app after app, webpages being crystal clear, music not skipping or forcing closed. The x2 was running cm7. The locked bootloader sucked balls. I like changing kernels,radios, etc. Thunderbolt does everything I ask it to without hesitating
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
While I do agree that a locked bootloader is terrible (my previous device was unlocked), I have to say that your other evidence merely comes from OS tweaks, not speed. The Xperia play browser is smoother in scrolling than the X2s, but that doesn't mean that it is faster. A good way to see performance differences is to try heavy emulators like N64oid and FPSe with 0 frameskips and graphics smoothing on and you will see a significant difference in performance, especially with FPSe, which has dual core optimization.
When I put my cm7 x2 next to my RF stock TB yea the x2 wins in quadrant scores, but that means nothing when a game like fruit ninja lags on my phone but not hers. Or videos from SD card are pixelated but not on the tb

Have not read much in this thread but I was just wondering if anyone that is having problems with Netflix have you by chance tried using a lcd density changer to clear up the screen? I'm using LCD modder with the dpi set to 200 & Netflix looks pretty good....Hope it helps...

It's freakishly accurate. I was doing a number 2, playing with my phone with the GPS on. When I opened the map, I had a birds eye view of myself pooping.
insanely accurate and locks in the second i open the app. my galaxy nexus would struggle sometimes to get a lock but this thing is locked before i even open the app lol

I've only messed with it once so far. It was very quick to find my position. I'm looking forward to using it when I go visit family in a week. Since I got about 24 hours drive one way, it will get some good road use.
