Anyone try the new 1.5 version of Netflix now available in the market? I installed it twice, once from within version 1.4.1 when it prompted me to update to a new version, and again fresh after uninstalling version 1.4.1. In both cases, with new version I can hear audio, but it does not display video. Anyone else having this problem? New version states that it supports Android 2.2, 2.3, and 3.x in the USA, Canada, and Latin America.
Same, I guess we'll have to revert to last working version...

+1 - Same issue here. I think it's an epidemic.
Damn Netflix... Every time they get the product working halfway decent, they do something to screw it all up again. I'd think with their myriad of public relation issues at the moment, they'd be more careful not to screw things up, but there's me thinking again....
On my Nook it won't even complete loading the new version.
I reverted to the previous which works GREAT.
I just got my Nook Color (version 1.2 out of the box) and I'm trying to root it and play me some Netflix.
I followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987735 and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054027 and as far as I know I"m rooted properly. Where it says to 'follow on-screen directions' it included removing my SD card, so everythings been running smoothly without the SD card in, though as part of my work to get Netflix running, when I insert the SD card it now says its corrupted/invalid/whatever and needs to be formatted =\
After getting it rooted, I followed the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOZFBqiUvUI and managed to download both apps from the market with no problem (they were in the app list, didn't have to 'backdoor' by a link to the apk). But Netflis just stays at the red splash screen with the spinning circle, not doin' nothin'. Furthermore, it now says my SD card I used to install CWM et al. is invalid and needs to be reformatted.
I tried downloading a Netflix .apk from...a link somewhere (can't find it in my history T_T), and my Colordroid says it wants to open it with either APp Installer (which seems to do nothing) or the Package Installer (Whcih says it's not a valid package). Where'd I go wrong? I want to uninstall the Netflix App I already have installed, but I can't seem to find my way to that screen.
Thanks for the heads up, I won't be updating, as it is asking me to do....don't fix what ain't broke...
I got it going on my end. I had to format my SD card so it was usable, then use the ES File Explorer to a) copy the APK from SD card to /system/apps, then b) use ES File Explorer to also install the app. No other 'install this app' method seems to work. One series of clicks I triewd produced a "Your Phone is set to not allow installs outside of google market" or whatever, even though I set that to be allowed in NookColor Tools, but I got it goin' fine now.
In the end, it's what I thought it was to begin with -- user ignorance. Though having multiple threads saying "New versio Netflix works, no hax!" and then the new version of Netflix actually not working because of Netflix'...poor design...wasn't helping me. XD
Same here. Reverting back to the older version, my son is flipping out because there's no picture, he's 3.
same here..Excellent job, Netflix
The issue appears to be fixed in the new 1.5.1 update from Netflix.
Also, there is no rotation lock imposed (no more need for hacking).
In the "What's new" section:
Code:
4. Fix incompatibility with CyanogenMod 7 ROM devices.
Go get it!

You do have to uninstall the hacked version, if you used it (the error message should be different, though).

Hmm.. I had the market version and uninstalled it. I wonder if the culprit in this scenario isn't Chainfire 3d messing with the market... Now I'm starting to wonder if I should remove it and roll back my market, or if it's reading the screen density again (160 atm). Either way, it installed straight from the market the first time, now it's giving me crap - I may just send it from my phone.
I am on Miui latest...

Although you know what? The market should open itself unless there's a PURPOSE. Screw them... If it's not a compatibility issue with the GPU or an actual incompatibility with the Android version then allow us to grab it from the market. If it's free anyhow, WTH are they doing blocking it from us?
Sorry, that's my rant... Google and their blocking crap has been getting on my nerves lately. Their new approach to fragmented market availability based on individual devices is exactly the reason we all stay away from Apple... We hate walled gardens, so Google creates 50+ of them?
I don't think so...

2.6.32.9 ... latest Miui -.13 (not using their launcher, but their build is snappy). The last thing on earth I'd do is join those people, but saying that, isn't a walled garden for keeping you in and filtering what can get to you? How is the latest implementation of the market not a compilation of several fragmented gardens? We in these communities fight and hack our way to get software that runs perfectly on our devices anyhow. But I digress ... I pushed the apk from my phone.
I guess it's not a garden per se because they aren't locking us into Google products,but their mini-ecosystem designed to keep people in boxes feels like a walled garden... Tell me you wouldn't enjoy a more open market limited only by firmware revision and GPU?

I dont know much about miui but your dpi NEEDS to be 160 for the market to work. That is most likely your problem not Google.

Build.prop density = 160. And... the Apk side loaded fine and ran great, so no compatibility issue.

First off, I apologize for posting this here. I don't have 10 posts yet, so I can't post a reply to the proper thread in the Development forum.
I recently flashed Entropy's DD_03072012 kernel, and I noticed that when I'm listening to Google Music, I can't double-click the headset's microphone button to skip tracks anymore (a single click still works to pause the music, however). I searched the thread to see if this is a known issue, but at 240+ pages, I could have missed something.
Has anyone else had this problem? Any way to fix this other than flashing back to stock?
What rom are you running, cause its specific to that.
I'm still on the stock ROM (latest OTA update). I've been rooted for several months now, and skipping tracks using this method has worked fine until I flashed the updated kernel a couple of weeks ago.

Give Siyah gingerbread kernel a try, once you get enough posts, try talking to entropy about it
That's going to be the next one I try. I just really like the battery-saving features of Entropy's. Couldn't hurt to give it a shot though.

Even better, get off gingerbread and upgrade to task 650's AOKP ICS. It's a lot better than gingerbread. Good luck regardless
EDIT: Another reason to upgrade, I'm not really sure anyone is supporting GB kernels anymore. Both Gokhanmoral and Entropy512 are dedicating a lot of time on ICS kernels

I got gb 2.3.6 unnamed rom uckh7 03/07/2012 kernel, and read there is bugs with wifi on ics/aokp and Gamecih doesn't work and gaming controllers + lots of other stuff.....
I need all that working. Anyway I noticed my wifi bars stay gray and don't go blue (like not fully connected) is this from the kernel? And all my Google products don't say I can (or am logged in) since I got it, but but I didn't think it was the kernel.

Once a release has become outdated, its no longer supported. Upgrade to the newest build, or Google the problems for yourself.

devs are slowly moving away from GB so my best suggestion would be to move on to ics based rom its got full support at the moment so any bugs at least gets attention and as a user of CM9 Id say that it is pretty stable, dare I even say Nearing RC status

Wifi bars are from your rom. Whoever developed the theme may have not included separate. .PNG for fully connected. Aokp isn't buggy at all, most stable rom I've used

You'd have to search on it but I remember from some thread that the bar color reflects your connection to Google - if your phone isn't connected to a Google account, it grays out. There's even a switch (somewhere, in some ROM I had) for "status bar reflects Google status".

I had the same problem when playing, and changing songs on any music app, I'm on DD030712012 and I have a app auto call recorder, but I couldn't use bluetooth at all, it made echoing sound and couldn't hear anything . I did 2 factory resets trying to find the problem, then started reinstalling apps through TB, and I had to freeze the auto call recorder, and now bluetooth works with no problems. Also I think there's a problem with 3rd party music players, I will be listening to the Samsung stock music player and when I push forward to the next song a 3rd party music player starts to play at the same time, I also fixed this by freezing the app.

I've been thinking that i could get galaxy s3 but i want to know does screencast recorder (check it on google play store) work with that device? any1 have tried? And does it record 720p video 30fps. Some1 could try with free demo and upload the vid somewhere.
I've just bought Screencast.
I have a rooted s3 and stock ROM.
The video won't work - although the still screengrabs do work very well.
I posted a message to the developer and he said that it will work with the s3 but it needs tweaks - and to look here on XDA.
I don't see anything.
I notice that other people are saying that there are issues with the stock ROM as well.
With my s3, it starts recording but them stops very abruptly after a few seconds.
Every file if just 44bytes long and won't play.

This my experience with the demo as well. At the time I thought I probably just did something wrong...
Anyone know of any similar apps?
There are quite a few which do still screenshots - but it is mainly screencast and also ShootMe which can do video as well
ShootMe has not been updated to be compatible with the s£.
That leaves Screencast which the developer says is compatible but needs tweaking - but doesn't say what teaking it needs.
It does work sometimes and maybe it's coincidence but I found if you start recording and pull notification bar down while Screencast is still open then press home key to exit notification I found it always keeps recording.
Thanks for the tip.
I've tried what you have suggested and it doesn't work for me.
Still gives me heart to try a few more permutations.
---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 PM ----------
Strange, ONce it has save its runt (44byte) file, the big recording button in the app goes to grey again - but the button the notification bar stays red as if it was still recording.
I really do wish that the developer would engage with this discussion. He's the one making money out of it, after all.
Looks like Shootme does work. The Market says it isn't compatible - but it is. You have to download it from some other source.
I got mine here http://rs20p1.rapidshare.com/cgi-bi...75D423511C1703F2A732A85F08C6E98E793B05368EB42
It certainly isn't as nicely featured as Screencast but it does video reasonably well
I would still like to get screencast working
---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------
Well don't ask me how - but Screencast has started working - and it is very very good.
I don't know if any of this had anything to do with it, but I downloaded Shootme and that worked.
Then I uninstalled Screencast and then downloaded and installed the demo version.
That didn't work either - exactly the same runt files as before.
I uninstalled it and then re-downloaded and installed the full version. The whole thing started working.
It really is very good. you can change the frame rate and have very smooth video. You can access the files from within the app. You can have mouse pointer appear to show your finger movements and key presses.
I hope that it doesn't stop again.
It's almost as if Screencast needs warming up before you can use it on S3, because after a few failed recordings it seems to sort itself out, so I'm guessing there's a settings or log file that gets rewritten in such a way that makes it work.
Well Screencast stopped working.
I lost root - don't ask me how.
I had to re-root and screencast wouldn't work and went back to its old buggy self.
Zero interest from the developer
is there another aplication that works??
I just checked my Screencast and it finally works. The trick is that U have to reinstall it.
My version is a paid one and I have similar issues as You, guys. I was very close to uninstall this app and to look for something different (actually & unfortunately we don't have any choice - I was looking in Google Play and I couldn't find anything), but decided to give it a one last shot
Btw, give it a few sec. when You start the app.
Any updates with Screencaster and the GS3? I still can't run it successfully.
Did you guys find any other option?

I've been trying to get screencast working on the sgs3.
finally getting some success using high setting within the app & also going into developer options in settings and turning on

Hope this helps.
Youtube works okay on my KFHDX 7 stock ROM, but will not work on my aosp 4.2.2. Thor Rom. It goes to the youtube site, but when I select a video it just hangs with a rotating circle on a black screen. I can stream from, for example, ESPNPlayer with no problem using Firefox. Uninstalled it and re-installed but no luck. Unistalled and installed the previous version of Youtube, but it updated almost immediately so could not check if it is a problem with the updated version. As always, help will be very much appreciated.

unless you have the second version of said ROM, youtube will not work, as no media works. If you update the ROM, youtube will work, but you'll have to come up with some workarounds for dealing with not having system dialogs (they're invisible). I am using it successfully, but I have a high tolerance for things like that.
Youtube update will not work
Okay. Many thanks for the info - appreciated
I rooted my phone not long back (maybe like a month ago?). I put it back to stock firmware, relocked bootloader with flashtool, got all the new updates, everything was fine.
I then try to use snapchats front camera, and its extremely sluggish. So I use the standard sony camera app to see if it was snapchat, and the camera was working just fine.
When I use the camera sometimes, there are green lines accross the screen. I must of factory reset it like 10 times now? Tried using Xperia Companion, no luck
Also, the official camera app, when switching to record, it lags out completely, and just wont move for like 15 seconds, and then another 15 seconds.
I've tried contacting sony via web chat, and they told me it was a hardware issue. I was thinking the camera is fine in the stock app, so why is it doing it in third party apps like snapchat?
But then again, I am experiencing issues with the recording function in the official camera app.
I'm not sure if I didnt flash it correctly or something, or used a really bad rom?
I've reset it multiple times though. Can anyone suggest anything? I'm selling it soon due to a new phone and didnt want to list it with "camera is broke"
Many thanks.

hello I have the same problem when using video recording, it freezes. When using other software like Camera HD, at the beginning I thought it was better, but 2 minutes later it freezes, and it s slow... Did you have the same problem on Lollipop ?
I'm on marshmallow mate. 6.0.1
32.2.A.0.253
But yeah, that's what I get
Me too, my phone was root too, I did unroot and relock the bootloader. Perhaps is it the root ? If you didn't have problems before maybe its a software issue
But wouldn't resetting it and everything fix the issue?
last thing to do is to rollback to lollipop and see if camera works
Hii Friends , This problem can be fixed easily. Will Post The Instructions Very Soon. Thank You!
