Netflix App loads Tablet GUI - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I've noticed that the tablet version loads on Netflix for this phone due to its resolution size. This makes the app a bit hard to use with all the small fonts.
Any workarounds to make it load the phone version?

Overskreen app

Just wanted to share a great app for the note, it's called overskreen. It is a paid app but well worth it. Really uses the big screen well. It allows you to overlay a box on your current screen as a browser. Just like a PC. The stick it app does the same for videos.
Try it out and let me know what you think of it

Have you tried Jetvd, that's what I use. Hasn't been available in the market for a while but google-able.

Tubemate, using on CM9 without a problem.

Maybe try using a user script (usersscripts.org) which allows you to download the video, possibly also the audio track? These are snippets of Javascript which inject themselves into specific sites when you're viewing them. I use one named "YouTube to MP4" on Firefox on my desktop PC. Since the Android browsers are fully functional I expect the same option applies there.
For this option, Firefox requires Greasemonkey addon, but I believe it's a native option on Opera and Chrome.
Also try tubeGod(tubex) its no longer in the market so you have to search for it(its free so no problems)
Much better quality than tubemate imo and mp3s dont come as large as tubemate either
I extracted the audio from a video a few days ago
Tubemate(17mb)
TubeGod(1mb)

Tubemate's file size is big because it downloads the whole MP4 video and renames it as MP3.

Chrome browser is horrible on my Tablet S.

Don't know why, but the chrome browser is a buggy piece of crap. Whereas, on my Sony Xperia S, it works like a dream. Why is that?

I don't think Chrome has the greatest tablet experiance - the tab's are just to small for my liking.
What bugs have you found?
Yes mine too. It doesnt like tabbed browsing. Sometimes when I open 1-2 more tabs the pages dont load. Even with just one tab the page sometimes does not load at all. The browser has crashed to desktop on mine a few times as well. The tablets just needs a few things fixing then it will be perfect:
chrome fix
Delay in waking device fix.
Random reboots
Ps store and dual shock 3 native support.

it crashes on me almost everytime. I've decided to give it a fair chance by installing it a few times but still the same everytime. Had to go back to dolphin. Dont even bother with chrome at the moment unless it gets a major update.
According to google mobile official blog, Chrome browser is still in a beta phase

you have to disable the stock browser, and chrome will be better. But firefox is better on my tablet s
Just like they said. Tabbed browsing is bad. Really bad. Another thing I noticed is that when I open a couple of tabs, it crashes. Some pages don't scroll at times. And it sometimes crashes for no reason.
Its so smooth and sweet on my SXS, it confuses me. Both are Sony ICS devices.

Netflix now crapflix

Ok I am sure all netflix users have found out that we have been had. There app will automatically update and no matter what I do I can't stop it. The new app is not very responsive and fails to load all the thumbnails. It's not as bad on the 3vo as it is on the og but still sucks. Plus I liked the old look better. So what I am wondering is if anyone knows how to stop it from upgrading?

Did you uncheck the auto update on the market? Mine never updates.
Yes I did. I still have the black splash and auto rotation but the main ui has changed.

Unfortunately there is no way to stop the update. I have a backup of netflix in titanium backup from about 4 months ago and as soon as I restore the app and data it loads the new interface. I thought netflix was slow before, I didnt think they could make it any worse. They might be trying to push people to upgrade their devices. The app works on the 3vo, but my wife has an evo 4g and it barely works now.
yeah i am in the same boat. i have the og and my ole lady has the 3vo. damn you netflix!!!!!!
The Netflix app's user interface is really just a web page. There is NO way whatsoever to get the old user interface back, because it is served directly from Netflix, as opposed to being a native Android user interface.
I agree that it blows. Why can't Netflix make a UI that lets us actually be able to browse ALL of the available titles? For instance, if I check the science fiction movies on the app, I apparently have a choice of about 20 movies or so to watch. Yet, you can search and find all kinds of additional titles. Why can't I just browse the damn library of titles?!?!
After a little bit digging.. Seems to be a server side updated rather than a full app update...

I very much agree. Netflix is quite un-user friendly. Half the time you have to know what you want to watch and search for it, and even then it's very hit and miss. I especially don't follow why Netflix has say... movies 2 and 3 in a series, but not the first one. DEFINITELY needs a massive UI update to allow entirely library browsing. not just whatever 75 titles they feel like showing at the current time.
I got fed up with Netflix, left August 1st.
Once Amazon gets a little better selection I'll head over there.

Wallpaper Perspective Zoom for Android?

I got to play with a new iPad and i love the way the wallpaper slightly moves with the way the device is tilted. Is there a way to get this on Android?
Bump
No love?

I'm not sure if there's an app for it, the Galaxy S6 has this however, if I remember correctly someone referred to this as "parallax wallpaper".
