Netflix HD - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Hey, Does anyone know how to get Netflix in HD on our Galaxy S3?

Supposedly only certain processors are supported at this time. Mostly ones motor uses. You can go into the settings in your account to make sure it's set on highest quality but given that HD is not supported or so I've heard it won't be HD

Never good to hear. Hope that they update it and start supporting more processors, I mean we have a pretty good one.

It's not about speed, it's about DRM.

HD Netflix

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

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.

Gaming on the rezound.

Any one notice that playing 3d rendering games you experience stuttering in movemens?

No not here. Do you have both cores turned on by any chance?

I've played intensive 3d games and have had no lag/issues. 2nd core will come online automatically when it deems the load is too high on the 1st core. No need to force both cores on at all times.
Speaking of gaming on the rezound gamelodt finally decided to let backstab run on the rezound

Shame that they haven't added Modern Combat 3 yet, and it's also $.49 fail.

What's sad is I'm sure we could obtain the apk unofficially... But I'd rather support the dev and pay for it.
no problems here i have a tablet so i was able to buy some of the other games til they support my rezound

I wouldn't give any money to gameloft. They have absolutely no support. They have been absolutely horrible to deal with across multiple devices for me. Some of their games don't even work on devices they say they support. Good luck trying to get a refund from them. I bought nova hd three devices back on a device they supported for that game. So far hasn't worked on any of my devices.

I got Modern Combat 3 to work by editing the build.prop to make it seem like im using a Desire hd instead of Rezound and the game runs perfect.
Grand Theft Auto 3 runs beautifully on this device.

In fact, GTA was the only game that I experienced stuttering. Don't know if there is any version optimized for Adreno. Still graphics were subpar compared to other games which run smoothly.

how do you turn on the second core? There are times when my Rezound lags and I wonder if the second core is turning on

Are threre any video quality diffrence between the two apps phone/tablet versions?
I mostly want to use this for the dvr shows not so much live tv. I want the tablet app if it has better video quality but not controls for dvr seems like a deal breaker.Is the phone app video quality just as good? I want to make sure before I put down $300+ and $30 for the app.
Thank you guys for your responses

I have been using slingplayer for a long time. Obviously there have been upgrades over the years but I get the best quality video on my Note. I have the Slingbox Solo.
I am using slingplayer with my solo as well. Works like a charm.

Is it possible to put the tablet version of Slingplayer on the Note? The tablet version doesn't even show up on market for me.

I just got the slingbox pro hd and its okay! All the features and function is there but the video quality is okay. I get the same choppy quality in sd and hd. I have it hooked thru component with digital audio and optimum online boost 30 down 8 up in nyc. I'm happy with the box and hope maybe ICS will make the video quality better along with netflix.

I'm using Slingbox-Pro for 7 years and never had any problem with the Tilt II and now I'm using it on my Verizon Samsung Galaxy " Tablet using Android and don't have any problem either.
When I try to use it on the new samsung focus S, The windows phone reqired that you must change the slingbox pro to slingbox pro-HD. I did that, spent $250 for the slingbox pro-hd, it works for 3 months then the power supply input on the pro-hd burned up. Now I switched back to the Slingbox pro and still working good with my android tablet but will not work on the windows phone. I think the windows phone SUCK !!!.I'll switch to the Samsung Galaxy Note as soon it come out. Stay away from windows phones. Regars,

I just checked and it seems you are right.
I have not and will not buy it, that is a ridiculous price I'm my opinion, but if someone with a fat wallet wants to, it would be nice to see a comparison between this version and the Thd one

realy bad gaming compatibility -real racing 3-

Hey guys, Ive got my Nexus 10 since the first realease batch and I love it soooo much!
Only thing which realy dissapoints me is that there are a lot of aps out there (especially games)
which are not compatible with it.
Top titles like the just released Real Racing 3
I DONT GET IT.... its MADE for a device like the nexus 10....
why they are doing this to me (((
anyone knows a way to download the .apk even its not compatible?
Tegra/THD stuff won't be downloadable from Market (even though Tegra effects shouldn't be an issue on something more powerful than a Tegra 3... but w/e).
As for other games, the developer might just choose to restrict it to the most "popular" devices, and to not risk having negative reviews, mark it as incompatible with everything else. Pretty sure a Nexus 10 isn't as popular as, say, a Nexus 7, GS3, GNote, etc.
Only way to get the apk "legitimately" is to install it to a compatible device, then pull the apk off the device and then sideload it to the N10.
Real Racing 3 isn't released until the 28th?

It's the 28th in Australia. I downloaded RR3 from the play store just then on my Nexus10 and I'm currently download the extra files. Maybe it's a regional restriction?
Maybe he meant real racing 2? That ones not compatible. Not sure. Glad you're able to download it

Guys it's out in USA as of tonight...
Sent from my Nexus 10 using XDA Premium HD app
Tried RR3. It downloaded 4.1 Gb cache but the graphics...black/white/pink textures, no reflections and shadows. Ugly, but runs fine. Better than NFS:MW on 4.2.1 and worse than on 4.2.2 with custom kernel
Im at work currently but assigned the game to my N10 via playstore. Will report in a couple of hours who it works on mine.
It really would be a shame to have such a great game not propperly working on our 'flagship' tablet. Do you maybe have this 4x anti alising thing active?
--edit--
works great without any issues
Is working fine on my tab

nightfox11, is it without MSAA? Its so choppy =(
It is working great for me
Works great here too. Maybe you guys changed some graphics settings? Like msaa or forced gpu? Thats caused issues for me in other games.

I uploaded a Video on YouTube /top115 (my channel) I habe serious slowdowns when many cars are onscreen.
Is it Bettler in your nexuses? Maybe I try it without forced GPU settings....

Here's a video I just made of Real Racing 3 on my Nexus 10 connected to TV with HDMI with FPS Meter running (top left of screen). Recorded with Galaxy S2 at 720p and edited a bit (to hide my rubbish driving )
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdcTbyt2fWo
Runs great. FPS drops to just below 30 on a few occasions but not really noticable. Most of the time it is 30-50 FPS. TBH there is some lag in the intro videos and the menus but who cares about that.
.....IF ONLY it had gamepad support!!!!
