Just in case anyone missed the announcement:
The latest Netflix v1.3.0 build 246 was released yesterday.
It resolves video issues such as green bars, blurry/blocky video some users were experiencing. Also confirm that it works on Canadian Netflix accounts over Rogers 3G.
My arc's running: 2.3.3, 3.0.1.A.0.145 USA generic, rooted (though it should work on any arc.)
This is great news.
Confirmed working.
I have been waiting for this for some time.
Works great on my ATT network LT15a, no buffering issues and picture/audio are clean as well. But wonder why its not showing up on the market page for Arc yet!
If the app does not show up on the market page, you can download it from this thread and install it manually

Hello guys and gals,
Sorry for the delay.
Here is the Skype application file for Tattoo (.apk) file.
I tested it and it's working using SPQRom Froyo 2.2.1 through 3G and WiFi Connection.
When you first start the application and login it might show "Force Close" because Skype is not responding. Just click "Wait" until Skype download all your contacts.
After that use it as normal.
Here is the .apk file
Skype 1.0.0.659 - Newest Version
Have Fun!
i downloaded it from market
but voice chat is lagging on the tattoo
Working well
I tested voice chat using WiFi and its working really well.
Please post 1.0.1 version too...
I don't know why but I cannot find 1.0.1 anywhere. I was looking last night but I could not find it. I tried from skype.com/m but again the skype version downloaded was this one..
Are you sure that 1.0.1 is out?
1.0.1 has not come out yet. is there a leaked beta?
Downloaded it from the market. works good, takes some time at first to load contacts - if you have a lot, better check to show only online users.
Lacks settings. It would be great to be able to disable loading chat history. Good to have just in case.
According their official blog, Skype 1.0.1 is out.
http://blogs.skype.com/garage/2010/11/skype_101_for_android.html
Of course nobody can find it. According the fixes I think they forgot to change .apk file version. Because I had Skype for 1 month now and this version has all this fixes.
its not working on retail tatoo roms it can not to be installed.
not working on mine either

If so have you found anything that was not working on it? I am currently running VEGAn Ginger and want to try the HC but I want to know what is not working before taking the time to nvflash and install new ROM.
No, but
Many things are still not workin, but there are great improvements daily. I think it wont be long to say a stable beta version.
So i would suggest to be patient and wait till the beta is out
Thanks, I will stay with VEGAn for now until then.
I loaded a2.2 and it is pretty good. They updated the email apps in a2.3. The only things now not really working are hd video, camera, flash (not sure if flash is working in further updates). Overall, for me the things that are missing are already missing in vegan rc1 (hd video and camera) so I am gonna stay with honeycomb and continue updating as new updates come out. It is nice and streamlined.
Been running every iteration. I've stuck with a2.1 now for a bit.
After this update, they have the overclocking kernel back in place and my gtab hates that. So I reverted back to 2.1, and then just copied the working email and gmail apps over.
Just missing the flash, who cares about the camera.
Came from Vegan Ginger, so the only thing this doesnt have over that is the working flash. But to be honest, its been a lot more stable than ginger ever was.

When you update do you have to reflash the tablet?
Where can I get the honeycomb build for the point of view tablet,

Quick Update:
I installed a2.2 and it is crazy fast. 1900 quadrant before OC 2900+ after OC. Only caveat is the wifi crashes and the camera issues. Waiting for RC now.

You need to update to 2.4 - a good bit was fixed. Still no camera or OpenGL, but almost everything I need is fine as wine!
(I still am not happy with Asus-based 3.X yet - hoping for an Acer-based version 2.5 or something higher ... or version 4)

Pretty sure that is just running the Adam or Bottle of Smoke ROM.
The 3.01 they reference is the Honeycomb version, the 2.X referred to here is version of the Bottle of Smoke mod by Roebeet.
Bottle of Smoke
Just got it running today. It took me several hours to figure out the process, but I have successfully loaded the software. I am running Smoke Alpha 3.3. I am experiencing problems with wifi which seems to only be available for about 10-20 minutes. Once it stops working I have to restart the system. I can't scan or restart wifi from with in settings. I did get vulkano to work but it to locked up when I tried to change channels. I couldn't get Dolphin HD to work -- it loads but won't render any web pages, but Firefox beta (5) seems to work just fine. For some reason I can't download opera 11 from the market but other apps install with not problem. I have tried a few basic games (for the grand kids) and they seem to be working ok.
Does anyone know if Netflix is working for Bottle of Smoke??
Not on my viewsonic. You can access your queue but you can't view any videos.

Except for Opera, all of those are (well) documented issues. Read through the last 10-20 pages in Roebeet's BoS thread at Slatedroid and you will see many other people talking about the same things.

which version, where did you get it, link please and what was the process?
Has anyone been able to get netflix and/or hulu working. I am a noob with a g tab. Ive installed clockork and VEGan. Now netflix says i need an upgrade and hulu says my device is not supported. It would be greatly appreciated.
Netflix has never worked on VEGAn (5.1.1 or Ginger).
Netflix, with their "there is an update available" has made Netflix no longer work on my CM7 Gtablet (CM7.02 Stable). While it did previously......it would not progress beyond the "there is an update available" screen and installing the official App from the Market (pulled from my Motorola Droid) will now fully load...it no longer streams as it did before.
Hulu I don't use but I believe a hacked version of the Flash app and setting the browser agent to Desktop instead of Android can make it work.
Here is the thread for the newest fixed flash.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1077914
I recommend using dolphin browser and like mentioned above you need to set user agent as desktop.
Works good for me. Every now and then there can be some audio sync issues but that happens to me on PC during peak hulu hours too.
You can also use an app called "PlayOn Mobile" from the market, you'll have to setup the desktop version first which can be d/l from their site http://www.playon.tv/playon/
Hulu, Netflix, plus much, much more.....
It streams through your home network and I've found it works anywhere as long as I'm connected to wifi.
Update...
I upgraded my Gtablet from CM7.02 to CM7.03 and Netflix (using the Netflix market app, no build.prop edits) is now streaming again.

I switched from Vegan 7.0 to Cm7 Stable a couple weeks ago to get Netflix on my gtab. Since it's so easy to switch roms with nvflash and clockworkmod (after a couple bricking/debricking and successful installs,) I took some time this week to try out a few different roms.
Yesterday I went through 5 different roms (trying to find one that will handle plants vs zombies, nothing I tried worked very well, btw,) and then I moved back to cm7 stable last night and was disappointed to see netflix was trying to update but would never finish installing the update.
Since it would not work I once again tried out a different rom (Calkulin+Clemsyn's 1.5ghz froyo v.5.) Just out of curiosity I tried to install the updated apk netflix released this week (found it on xda) and I was surprised when it got past the install without even trying to update (though still would not play video or sound.)
Since I now had the new netflix apk, I decided to try it on a fresh install of cm7, I am happy to report that the latest netflix is once again working...just tried it. The version I am using is "com.netflix.mediacliant-2.apk" (but I think the "-2" might be optional.)
Google the qoutes with the term "xda" and see xda post/url ending with 1076150.
Ok able to get netflix on my g tab but now it wont let melog in. Itsays a newer version found and i must upgrade. When i press ok to upgrade, it says upgrade not found. WTF??????????? When i tap on "com.netflix.mediaclient-2.apk, it says the applicatiion will not parse and it wont download.

Make sure you have downloaded the latest unhacked version. Uninstall the currently installed version and install the new (updated by Netflix) version.
That should do it.
I had the same issue. Running one of the earlier ones for a few days (on CM7.02), went and fired up Netflix again and it said I had to "upgrade to latest version". I did that by pulling it off my Droid and installing. It no longer worked.
I then upgraded my CM7.02 to CM7.03 and it worked just fine.
Clockwork wont install cm7.03. Many backups and installs and it still cant find the upgrade.
Netflix & Hulu
Netflix does work with CM7 Stable on the gTablet. Hulu works as well, it needs the Flash 10.3 installed.
I've noticed that hulu needs to buffer for quite some time before the vid matches the sound.
When I was on CM7 Nightly, hulu and Netflix ran perfectly but CM7 would crash on my gtab every so often, (the crash usually started with the widets failing)
Since loading CM7 stable dated May2011, it been running fine but hulu lags...
Thanks hope this others.
EDIT: *****Fixed the lagging in Hulu & Netflix******
I went into Settings>>>CyanogenMod Settings>>>Performance>>>CPU Settings
Here I set:
Avaliable Governors to PERFORMANCE (Smartass not a option),
Min CPU to 1200Mhz (was 216Mhz)
Max CPU to 1200Mhz (was 914Mhz)
I choose 1200Mhz as 1400Mhz had been a little unstable in CM7 nigthly (although I'm running CM7 Stable now) as Ive notice people reporting good stability at 1.2 Ghz. In short, setting the overclocking has increase performance in hulu and netflix which why I flashed to CM from Vegan. Good Luck to all....
Hi Gurus,
I installed CM 10.1 on my Xperia U.
Performance has tremendously improved as opposed to Sony stock ROM (ICS).
HOWEVER i have the following nagging issues --
1. WiFi Hotspot is not turning on. (even I cannot get Hotspot Icon to appear in the power drawer)
2. Camera -- works perfectly for still pictures, But does not record anything / immediately freezes when I start video recording
3. No app for FM Radio (over the air). I enabled non-market apps and installed the APK for Spirit FM free and that too doesnt play any FM station
4. Sony's original handsfree has stopped working for phone calls (worked for a week after installing CM10.1). I cannot hear anything. It still works for playing music though. I bought a Sony "original" replacement and it doesn't work either. Then I bought a cheap off-brand handsfree and it works (though with a lot of line noise and feedback)
5. Cannot download / install the app "Swiftkey Keyboard" which I had purchased earlier, and was working fine on stock Sony ROM. I tried multiple times over WiFi as well as 3G. It says could not download / could not install on SD card or internal memory. Internet connectivity or disk space is not the issue since i installed many apps after this.
6. When I click on the "Google" search bar on home screen, the keyboard does not come up or comes up after a lot of delay / goes away intermittently. I think "Google Now" is the underlying app. This is making any search very difficult to accomplish.
7. MailDroid app was working perfectly fine earlier (on stock ROM) -- connecting to my MS Exchange mailbox at work. Now this app downloads mail only when it is connected to my home WiFi. Doesnt download any mail on 3G. 3G works fine otherwise and I dont see any app settings that prevent it from using 3G.
7b. Other MS Exchange email apps like Touchdown and Emoze do not connect to my mailbox at all. Emoze is working fine on my another android tablet (CM9). I used Touchdown earlier successfully -- now it is not connecting either from my new Xperia on CM10.1 or from my android tablet on CM9. Weird.
Please let me know if you have any advice / tips on these. Thanks!
EDIT: I installed the latest nightly: cm-10.1-20130723-NIGHTLY-kumquat.zip
and gapps is downloaded from another site as goo.im was down that day: gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip
Add
8. I am unable to "conference" two different calls and merge them into one. When i add a second call, mostly the second person does not hear anything when he/she answers. Unable to merge both calls.
Help
Bump - kindly help with any tips / pointers even for one of the issues listed above. Thanks!

Can I downgrade to CM 10 or CM 9? What would you recommend? Thanks again!

CM9 can be preferred as it is more stable(bluetooth, tetherting) all working, no random FCs and moreover its damn fast than stock ROMs !

Oh my, I wonder if we still have any photon 4G users around here... I'll try with some wishful luck :laugh:
Stock ROM, 2.3.5, Sprint, Root Only.
Youtube Version : 5.0.21 = videos play fine directly via the app when connected on 3G/4G but never on WiFi, error : There was a problem while playing. Touch to retry. - this error just started last month. Cache/Data clears did nothing. I have a Nexus 7 Stock Android 4.4.X tablet that also connects & plays youtube videos to the same Wifi network without a problem. Other data-related apps (e.g. gmail, browser) work fine.
Interestingly, I can still view youtube videos on other apps like Reddit News, PVStar+ Pro (both on Wifi + 3g/4g). It's just when directly loading the youtube app, this error appears. I can search and see content but all I get is that Touch to Retry" I tried uninstalling back to the original stock version of youtube that originally came with the photon and it was able to play via WiFi, but I lose my option to view embedded videos on Reddit News app (needed v5.0.21 to do that).
So I'm rooted + have my MSL if needed to edit anything. Has anyone experienced this or found a better apk version that works?
Yep!
Getting the same issue on my end.
Honestly stopped using my phone to do anything like game or watch videos since I got it.
Much rather buy a new phone than bother with all the problems I've gotten using this one.
I know this is offtopic but I just found this post on the atrix forum about a photon user flashing the atrix's 4.4.4 kitkat rom on his phone. The thread is titled "MB855need some help". He states that everything seem to work fine but, the camera, light and distance sensor, and button's light don't work. He was trying to get attention from devs to make it work on this phone but it seems they are already too busy with other projects, so I was thinking if we could get some attention from a dev for this phone we could get an almost-working kitkat rom. You can find the 4.4.4 kitkat rom in the atrix's development forum.

I am temporarily back on my Photon. My use of videos on WiFi has never been an issue. I am using GSM on a formerly Sprint CDMA model. I had the update that prevented full unlock, but I was able to modify everything necessary regardless. So, I don't know if my configuration is standard, but I have my old files on the SD card. I'd be glad to help if I can. I can look at this more tomorrow sometime. I was just wandering by as I was working on my new phone... it's late.
I used the one out of mof 2.3.5 ish rom and it works perf3ct. If I update I get the error again
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Free mobile app
Bringing this topic again for 2015 as it seems like it's still never been resolved for the photon 4g to install the latest youtube update on google play (it's been like this for such a long time, and the only version that still seems to work with some functionality at least if playing videos via the in-app embedded view feature on the reddit news app, this is youtube v5.0.21) - That same version won't play anything if you launch the youtube app on its own - would love to hear if any Photon 4G CMDA survivors have found any workarounds in getting this to work or if you have another higher/newer youtube apk build version, please let us know what that is - thanks
Everything else on the Moto P4G is still working great... for regular voice/data-mms-text/gmail/.web browsing on firefox app, it's still doing fine.
Also, looks like PVStar+ Pro/Regular have been taken off the Google Play Store... which was really the only viable alternative to youtube + the photon 4g. If you know of any other apps that still work for gingerbread like this, it would be good to just know too.
p.s. emailing youtube developers has yet to ever get a response (e.g. been trying around 1x a month).
