The HD Netflix app from the Razr works on the Rezound. Just thought I would put that out there. It is cleaner than the one pulled from the Android Market or Amazon. Version differences prove HD vs SD, 1.5 vs 1.6 on the build versions. No errors or any other issues.
Edit: My apologies. Was in a hurry earlier and thought I put this up. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1394637 is the correct thread. They janked it for the Nexus and I was curious.
So you tell us this and then dont post the apk?

I don't see a difference. Supposedly a portion of the screen is suppose to be cut off but mine is full screen. Video doesn't look hd either.

Yeah, mine goes full screen unlike that post, but I think the picture might be better. It's just a slight difference, though.
We won't get true HD on Netflix until the snapdragon has the proper security certificate like the omap does.
Yep
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
I think the difference is only 360p to 720p. No full support at this time, but the reason the screen is shrunk is because the screen size is different. Resolutions for 1080 or 720 shrinks on the larger display. The video is only slightly different, but I did notice slightly better clarity. Could just be that I watch anime mostly and not too many real movies or episodes. Similar to what pulls up on my ps3 though. just about 46 inches smaller on the phone.

Does Netflix work on Photon using the HDMI to connect to TV?
It should because all the HDMI is doing is taking whatever is on your Photon screen and projecting it to your TV. We already know that Netflix is supported on the Photon so this shouldn't be a problem.

i tried this yesterday and while i thought the capability was cool it does look kinda grainy on bigger TV's because its just blowing up the phone screen image. A way to improve resolution or a custom app from netflix would be really clutch, but I dont want to ask for too much. +1 for hulu working in webtop mode
Is it possible to pay someone or switch the screen of the original galaxy s2 for a Hd one?

Why would you want a different screen than what is on the S2? I dont know of another mobile device that has a better looking screen than our, or one thats really even that is close to a sharp!!!
Idk. Just not Hd like the iphone. Still it is alright...

Put them side by side and you'll see that while the iPhone wins for resolution and clarity, the SGS2 far exceeds it with contrast and colors.
Tottaly agree... I don't see the point in replacing the screen anyway what do you need that high of a resolution for anyway?

Samsung phones are highly proprietary and don't respond well to changes. Even using a non OEM battery can cause problems in some cases. What don't you like about the display? I think its pretty nice.

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
Sent from my MB870 using XDA App
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

So I'm not the only one noticing, great I think. Is there an actual fix in ics for this?
Software, not hardware. Known issue in the IGN.
I think maybe its the quality of stream that netflix uses cause when I play movies from my sdcard i dont notice it..
i always notice it though if the video res is really low.

I'm not in an LTE area but I have 30/5mb speeds with wifi. Netflix looks horrible still. I'm thinking that a lot of apps just weren't made for this size screen and a simple update will fix it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
yes i think hiii is correct. the netflix app on 2.3 series does not scale with screen size i beleve it is kept at a low resolution and that is part of the blockyness.
Use the following Netflix.apk file attached. It'll solve all the resolution problems. I've been using it for 2 days now.
Note: Do NOT update the app after you install it, or it'll go back to the one that doesn't work well.

My Netflix doesn't look bad. But we need to realize that....sure the International version has been out for a while, but is only now going mainsteam with the i717. That will make app developers take notice and start optimizing for the Note screen.
