Netflix app - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When is netflix app gonna be available for Xperia X10. I know right now its supported only for 6 devices. Anybody has got the apk for official netflix app then please share it. Thanks!

The Netflix app works with Android 2.2 and up. Officially, the X10 is at 2.1 for much of the world and stuck at 1.6 in the United States. Also, the Android Market locks out devices the app isn't meant for, so to get it through there you'd have to have an HTC Incredible, Nexus One, Evo 4G, G2, or the Samsung Nexus S. The X10 doesn't qualify to run the app in Netflix and Google's eyes.
If you're running a custom 2.2 or 2.3 ROM, you can always try to find the APK.

apk download in post one.
As previously stated, will only run in 2.2+.
Follow thread link for instructions.

Works perfectly for me...

If your on jerpelea's latest CM7 ROM, then just search Netflix directly from the market, that's how I found it. I currently have Netflix, HBO Go, and WatchESPN all streaming perfectly to my device.

I downloaded the netflix app from the thread. I found that the app takes too long to load and its very slow. I dont know if everybody else is also facing the same issue.

Netflix for Android Workaround for mytouch

I found this on the http://techland.time.com/
So i dont take credit for this so i posted the whole page please in joy.
Unless you own one of the five phones that support Netflix's new Android app, Thursday's announcement was worthless.
But thanks to some clever folks on Reddit, Netflix's petty device restrictions needn't apply. With a rooted Android smartphone, you can trick Netflix into thinking your device is approved for streaming video. It's not a perfect fix -- some users can't get it to work -- but it'll do until Netflix officially brings its app to more Android phones.
The first thing you'll want to do is root your phone. You can look up instructions for specific devices at xda-developers, but keep in mind that rooting is not supported by warranty and could turn the phone into a paperweight.
Still with us? Now, follow the instructions, as posted on Reddit:
1) Download ES File Explorer (Or any other root file editor)
2) In ES File Explorer, go into Setting > Root Settings and enable both check boxes
3) Navigate to /system/ and copy/paste build.prop to /sdcard/ (just in case)
4) Open & edit /system/build.prop
5) Change the following lines to make your phone think it is an HTC G2:
--ro.product.model=HTC Vision
--ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
OR
--ro.product.model=Nexus S
--ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
6) Reboot the phone
7) Install the netflix apk (if you haven't already)
Enjoy
I haven't tried this myself, as my only Android device is a Droid Incredible, which doesn't require extra hoop-jumping. Obviously, you work around Netflix's obstacles at your own risk, but the ability to tinker is one of the reasons you got an Android phone in the first place, right?

best app ever im waiting to find positive attitude so i can donwload to my phone and make it work nicee anyone know if its working good the netflix aps or it crashes?
I installed the hacked version that doesn't try to authenticate your phone and it lets me view and manipulate my queue, but when I try to stream, I get a blank white screen with nice clear audio. It seems there's a legitimate reason that Netflix is only releasing the app for certain phones. We may just have to wait on them to get it working for our hardware.

Have to use CM nightlies. Forget when they introduced it, but Cyanogen tweeted he had a fix a few days before the nightly was released.
I have to use the latest nightly and change the build.prop to HTC vision. Then I can download from the market and it works great.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
I've tried this before and it doesn't work. This is the reason why I looked into rooting my device and ultimately flash it with teamroyal's ROM. Like neidlinger said, I got netflix working on my phone flawlessly!
i've tried all kinds of ROMs and netflix apps. none worked. until today! CM7 Nightly #100. then i had to install the 6.6.2011 updated netflix apk and boom, its working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
interesting i just downloaded the apk off the internet and it seems to work fine so far, but i haven't used it that much either

New Market V3.0.27

Anyone else get a Market upgrade today to Version 3.0.27? Mine has an entire new look with Apps, Games, Books and Movies! I'm liking it!

They're afraid rooted devices can pirate the movies. Like they said it wont play through the market but.....hey have you checked YouTube lately.....
My Vegan-tab gingeredition auto-updated it's market sometime yesterday. I don't even see the movies option. Apps/Games/Books.

Well, it's a DCMA restriction to prevent piracy... so unless they bring in some heavy DRM protection, rooted devices won't be able to play movies through the market.
Quoted from Google Support:
Playback not supported on rooted devices (Error 49)
We do not support playback on rooted devices for copyright protection reasons. You can enjoy your movie on a different device, or on your computer at market.android.com/movies, or on youtube.com/movies if you have a YouTube account.

Is anyone else having issues with the Market on VeganTab Gingerbread version 7. My wifes table is running that. When I launch the Market, it crashes after 6 or so seconds. I removed the update, and it worked for 30 seconds, but then I guess it repushed it self and then crashes again. Tried clearing cache, and all that jazz, but seems like the new version of market isn't working any longer
Are people having issues with Vegan Tab 5.1.
Thanks for any advise or comments

Netflix Update Kills Video

I wouldn't advise updating the Netflix app. I did yesterday and now I only get audio and no video. I'm running CM7 beta. Can anyone using stock or another rom confirm if yours is working. I saw in the app market comments that others were having problems as well but haven't seen anything over here.
I have stock gingerbread and I don't have any video issues. Although I was getting like a fast forward audio/video thing when I started a movie. It corrected after I stopped and started it. I like it better because they fixed the orientation situation.

Well I guess it's a cm7 problem like the HBO to Go app. Damn, I love the rom but this needs to be fixed. Hopefully I can flash a backup to get it going again.
yup i had the same issues. i just re-installed a backup of 1.4.0 and it works fine again.
Well, I did a cwm restore from a backup I did 2 days ago. I opened netflix and gave me an error about my device being deactivated, I just clicked through the ok's and it logged me out. I logged back in and all was well. Also, after reviewing the bug reports on CM7, I came across an interesting fix that may work for plex, I'll post the link below in the hopes that it will help somebody.

No I didn't. Didn't work on hbo to go. Figured out it was a work around for plex only. The settings are found within plex I believe.

Sirius/XM app

The battery in my phone (Epic 4g touch) died last night listening to Sirius while waiting at the dentist. Luckily I had my tp and mobile hotspot with me. I hopped on the market to grab the app and low and behold it was not there. What gives? Why are some apps available for certain devices and not others? Would copying the .apk from my phone to the /system/apps folder work? My tp is not rooted (yet) and up to date with all teh firmware.
Can't believe that app is not supported, really bullsh*t if you asked me. Give this app a try: https://market.android.com/details?...t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImFpci5TaXJpdXNYTWZsYXNoIl0. It apparently opens the flash login page in your browser.
Ya wont work on the Transformer, you have to use the one that goes thru the internet browser, sucks for sure

Wow that app had a lot of bad reviews. It's really a shame the app isn't available. Why would this app be available for my galaxy s2 but not for this device? Aside from resolution would it really be coded differently?
SiriusXM 2.0 app
Just installed on my Transformer TF101 and it works fine. IDK if it works with Canadian accounts.

I just updated the siriusxm app and now it works. It says v 2.00 in the corner just like d2kplus said. My prime is rooted and running stock. I copied the app from my phone to my sd card since i could not find it in the market.

Same issue here....I can open Showbox but get "Server Error" when I try to launch a video. Hopefully, it will get fixed soon.
Showbox not working is the only reason I haven't changed to lollipop full time. ATM I just duel boot.
It's definitely incompatibility with Lollipop. I just updated my Nexus 7 to 5.0 and am getting "Server error" too...
Please post a solution if you know of any...

Hello, i have manage to some how get show box to work on android 5.0. Please follow my steps very close.
First. Download aptoide, on google search try searching for aptoide and download it. Aptoide is like a store to get free games and apps.
Second. On aptoide search for showbox and it should show the version 3.7 install it.
Third. Open showbox and it will probably force close or it will give you a server error.
Fourth. Go back the aptoide app and search for showbox again.
Fith. Once you have search and clicked on the showbox 3.7, click on app next to download and click on app 3.6 and install it buy taping on the downgrade icon.
6th. Open the app the app and it will no longer force close but it will still give yoy the server error.
7th. Go back to aptoide and search for showbox once again and upgrade it to 3.7 after that it will work. Well atleast that workex for me. I hope i gave good instructions as i am new to this and im just trying to help. By the way i am running android 5.0 on my nexus 6.
Thanks....the apk work for me @ mrsimpson321
Nexus 7 Lollipop 5.0
