[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uncorq:
Agree, if I really need a disc (I literally don't own a traditional dvd player, I have a DVD in in my gaming pc connected to my 32" samsung) and separately I have a Roku player. I forget I have dvd's to watch, so cancelling is easy on that.

Definitely wish there were better/more obscure streaming titles, but literally have 30+ movies to weed through now as it is. Netflix brought me to actually cancel my cable, so it's saved me $ all over the place, going on almost 14 months now.

Seriously, its almost the same screaming publishers are doing about ebooks; the "distributor" is likely squeezing Netflix to cash in on NF's popularity, and trying to recoup losses from people just not buying boxed dvd's anymore. So netflix is purposely making DVD's less palatable.

What's INTERESTING about this, is it may VERY well force studios to change posture on that mysterious 30-day release policy to streaming.

Seriously, think about it:

If no one's buying $moviestudio's new release DVD media, even inside the exclusive early release timetable, they'll HAVE to start getting that residual moey money somewhere. And that somewhere is Netflix.

Netflix can afford to wait until the studios' accountants figure out what their not selling. Then they'll come back to Netflix with earlier distribution terms, and we'll be begin to see newer releases sooner via Netflix.

Netflix is already starting to deal with smaller studio/distribution companies, that avoid that big studio attitude. Smaller studios WANT fans seeing their content, they don't make money from the middlemen in distribution. I think in fact smaller studies lose money on distribution.

I bet within a year, you'll see those big studio distribution agreements change in Netflix's favor.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dubge:
I guess it doesnt really effect me. I dont have netflicks but was thinking on getting it and to be honest I would be paying that and only be streaming anyway.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
That's the problem with Netflix streaming though. Some content are only available via ordering DVDs. Not everything is available for stream. And now they want to split the pricing between the two for $15
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfin13:
I've got a buddy who recently bought a PS3 -- this was his first modern game machine (and this is a young guy, 26), and he was excited about the Netflix capability. Went to his house the other day, and he and his gf were flipping through the Netflix thumbnails trying to find something to watch. They were getting increasingly frustrated by all the 3rd-tier titles. I told them it was easier to set up your queue on the computer, and easier to find better quality movies. So I heard from him today after he'd searched through the website, and he is still annoyed by the fact that there's not much on there he wants to see (namely, newer movies).

So unless Netflix starts offering up more popular and newer titles for streaming, $8 for streaming-only loses a ****load of value. Hell, my Instant Queue has relegated about the half the titles I'd chosen months ago in the "unavailable" section.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knoxploration:
That's not a straight comparison, because before you got DVDs included in the streaming, and now you don't. Effectively, the cost can only be compared for DVDs and streaming together, because that's all they offered before.

Seems unlikely, given that the selection of watch instantly titles seems to have significantly shrunk, not increased. (Significantly more than half the stuff I'd added to my queue is now unavailable.)

It's not some. It's the vast majority. It's seldom I choose a movie I want to watch, go to Netflix, and find it available to watch instantly. My Watch Instantly viewing is largely the other way around -- I don't have a DVD to hand, so I go and browse through what's available in the hopes of finding something I wouldn't mind watching. That, to me, is not worth paying for. I could do much the same by switching on the TV and finding a channel showing something I don't mind watching. Add in the fact that almost no titles have subtitles on streaming, and even those that do they're ALL IN HARD TO READ CAPS and it's just not worth paying for. So my choices are DVD only for close to what I was paying just nine months ago, but with no streaming, or cancel altogether, which is more likely.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcmarshall:
Not irrelevant for me. I'm still paying the same $8/mo for streaming and I want it on my TF! Besides I have always thought the $7.99/mo price was an amazing deal. I am relieved and a little surprised they didn't raise the price on that.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] primeral:
Ok so back to the topic of getting this corporate vampiristic app running on Tegra 2 tablets ...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcmarshall:
I think Netflix will get it out for Honeycomb soon.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dorkington:
There has to be over a million Android tablets out there by now. I feel like Netflix is on less popular platforms than that. Seems like a no brainer. There must be some driver/drm thing holding it up.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knoxploration:
Looked at your queue recently? I'm curious what the ratio of movies you've lost is, if any.

I have 70 movies in my Watch Instantly queue, and of those, 46 are no longer available to watch. That's as near as makes no difference two thirds (65.7%) of my queue gone.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xerravon:
Hi,

I too think it will come out for our devices soon, at least I hope so. I am going to call and request that they do, if enough people call, well it should help anyway.

I looked at my instant queue and they are all still available, there are 47 in it.

I have noticed, if you look at your history of watched movies many of them are not available for instant anymore. They do sometimes come back. It seems they change them with other movies.

I am not wild about the price increase, I did expect it, and understand it. (still better (cheaper) than cable.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knoxploration:
Not for long, if they continue to increase prices at the same rate they've been doing historically.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] degeneration:
It was over 14 a month

Sometimes over 20

Around 18...

Competing with Apple is when it hit the price most people seem to want

It used to cost more, then went down, now went back up.

So, historically it will maybe go up a bit, and then back down?

I guess I haven't always watched the prices of netflix, but I did remember it used to be around 20 bucks a month for just DVDs, and then when streaming came out originally it wasn't unlimited or anything.

Meh. I mean I don't like the idea of things getting more expensive, but still.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcmarshall:
My que looks the same. I have 36 films on it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Amazon has VOD on Android. DRM has never been a problem for them. If Amazon can do it, then certainly Netflix can do it. It's all bull that they're spreading. Maybe Apple is paying them to keep it iOS limited, so there'll be more people switching to iOS. >:(

[T-Mobile LG G2x] prettyboy85712:
Nope. Not possible.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] everest.deth:
Not really, i mean you CAN unlock the device ( i bought my code on ebay for $10 and got it in less than 24h); however, both Sprint and Verizon run on CDMA networks and your G2X is GSM only. This means that you would not receive any service. I'd say you'd be best staying with T-Mo and hope they upgrade the coverage, or return the phone and get a CDMA handset.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] javolin13:
So, after checking system updates for awhile and seeing I am at the current version, I just tried again and got

"Connection Failed."

Maybe T-Mobile took down the server for checking software updates to prep for the new version?

I thought it may have been my signal, but I am fully able to browse the web at 4G speeds...

***crosses fingers!!***

Edit: another idea I had was, maybe the shut down the server for update checks due to a TON of people loading the servers with checking for updates due to the GB update rumor? LOL

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blaine07:
Hey guys,

Starting today I have been having a problem with the Market and it saying it doesn't have enough memory to install something. For example the Flash update released today. I try to update and it fails saying it doesn't have enough memory. If I look at free space I have like 2gb free on the phone. I can still download other applications bigger than the update, but it isn't letting me update. I have tried clearing market cache etc. I had the same problem when Fring released an update the day before yesterday. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and still couldn't/cant get it to even reinstall. Is their anything you guys might recommend?

Also I have been having a problem with the contacts application. I click on a contact and it says contact not found, or something to that effect. It is like it looses all my contacts and a little bit later they work fine(usually after a restart).

Just seems like I am having lots of problems at the moment. Is their any suggestions for an easy fix? Can I just reflash rom only, and if I were to do that would I loose all my applications etc?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks,

Blaine
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tapout27:
1. MARKET.....try clearing data/cache in menu/settings/apps/manage apps/all/market then reboot and open Market.....should help

2. The contacts issue is pretty strange...do you sync using Google or a Backup Assistant?

Yes you can reboot recovery, wipe cache and in advanced wipe dalvik cache and reflash the ROM your on...it will rewrite system/ and your apps/data will be left as is

ALSO, try a different ROM....I have personally run all teh Froyo ROMs and currently run BAMF Stripped v1.7 with no issues at all.....

Hey guys. I'm in search of an animated flip clock, identical to the one found on HTC devices. After hours of looking around, I've decided that there is not one out there that flips AND looks just like the HTC one. However, after playing around with Better Alarm Clock Pro, I found that it has a working flip clock built into the app, but it cannot be used as a widget. This brings out the question: Can this portion of the app be ported so that it is a widget? I am rooted, on an Optimus V running Stock ROM with everything stipped, if it matters. Thank you.

well I know I sound like I'm a dumbass here, but I know that the stock android system is capable of animated Widgets. I've used a clock with rolling animation, so I know that animation is possible. I also know that better alarm clock pro has the HTC flip clock. How can it not be possible to animate the flip clock as a widget?
