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.

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).
Dumped the x2, netflix looks 100x better.

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...

I just tried it, but it switched the way Netflix looked, it looked like it was for a tablet but search wasn't working. I liked the way my phone looked with 200dpi instead of 240 though, thanks for the tip!

Damn Amazon..still can't get it to work on my Bell Atrix. After sideloading the apk..using an American address..and even with a Tmobile sim card..it still tells me its not available in my region..
damn wifi only. I've downloaded 500mb video files over 3g before. what's the big deal with a 73mb apk.
This game uses a lot of images/sprites as its graphics as opposed to vector graphics so it doesn't scale properly for qHD, I'm guessing it looks a lot better on a WVGA device.
it looks okay, a little washed out in comparison to the iDevice version.
Isn't working.
After multiple reboots, uninstalls and reinstalls, it will start and get past the popcap logo and just exit out. I'm rooted on 4.1.83, running GingerBlur. Can anyone help me out?

its on applanet, completely playable version, just a minor resolution issue
black screen
i'm on 1.8.3 using gingerblur 3.5 and when i launch the game i get a little audio from the opening theme but the screen is completely black. anyone else run into this issue?
edit:
got it to work. from the home screen, menu->settings->applications->manage applications, find plants vs zombies on the list "force stop" if it's running then "clear data" and restart. that worked for me at least.
There is an HD version for tegra devices. It looks a little too zoomed out where as the non-hd version on Amazon looks zoomed in.

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.

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!

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.

I've noticed that the YouTube app on this device has some pretty bad lag so far. Like slightly worse even than my POS Samsung Moment. Scrolling while videos are playing cause really bad stutters and slowdowns. YouTube works fantastically in the browser but the standalone app seems lacking.

It's only ever bad for me when scrolling between comments and such during the video, and it's really not too bad, but it is the one instance where I feel the phone is a bit slower than it should be.

I probably am over analyzing it, and the slowdown I see is probably just a compatibility issue that I'm sure will get resolved. Regardless, here's a video showing the slowdown I'm referring to.

This thing always stops playing video. This version and the latest version from the market. I will just stop with "An error has occurred touch he to restart" or something like that. Pisses me off to no avail!
I used to have that same problem, mostly just over 3g though. I know some people can't get it to play over wifi or 4g. Yoboii23's post about retrieving msl to speed up internet fixed the problem I had.

I don't have that problem. With one of the newer updates Netflix goes to Tablet mode instead of looking like it's made for a phone. And the video quality is very decent, at least for Star Trek and Spongebob it is.
I was playing psx4droid on my note and it seems to run a little slower than my brother's Atrix 4G - both v1 and v2 perform pretty much same. Anyone else have any idea if it will get better in future? Also which version do you guys use?
Works fine for me, and plays smoothly. I'm on a 3.07 beta I think. The only issues I have are audio seems to crackle. I haven't played with it a whole lot yet though.
