won't install

I have non rooted A500 with 3.2 update, I downloaded the APK to my SD card, stuck it in the device, used Script Manager to Browse to the SD Card, clicked on the APK, choose Install. It starts the Package installer with the Netflix Icon and Netflix title, asks if I want the application to have access to all the normal stuff.

I tap Install, it says 'Installing' and after about 1.5 seconds it says Application Not Installed.

Am I missing something obvious?:(

Netflix for A500 with rotation - Non USA users

Thanks a lot to Snickle, Ezterry and Dblfstr for their great contribution. Netflix app from them is very stable and works without a patch on Honeycomb 3.2

dl.dropbox.com/u/19684921/NetflixA500RotationBlack.apk

Since Netflix restricts both the service and content catalog for non USA users, it becomes necessary in some cases to make Netflix app feel it's running within an USA ISP network. For non USA users who get the message "Netflix is currently not available in your area" or "Netflix is coming soon to your area" the following procedure apply:

1. Setup a PPTP VPN, for free (using Beta service), in the site real-vpn.com by registering your eMail account

2. Get the Username and Password sent to you by eMail (the provided port number is only for P2P and not used by Netflix app)

3. Create a VPN in the A500: Wireless & Networks -> VPN Settings -> Add VPN. Set Name = <Your VPN name>, VPN Server = us.real-vpn.com, Enable encryption = Yes (marked), DNS search domains = <Empty> (not used by Netflix app)

4. Connect the VPN before starting Netflix app. Username = <Username>, Password = <Provided password>

My experience by comparing Netflix on the A500 with PPTP VPN and Netflix on Windows (both XP and 7) is that Netflix on the A500 with VPN performs very similar, smoth and without flickering. It seems real-vpn overhead is minimum for the streaming.

Once again, thanks guys

Hey... Sorry to be "that guy" but i am not tracking on how to undo the patch... I did uninstall and reinstalled the new netflix app(which works great btw!) but my camcorder still force closes. Can you walk me through removing the patch? Thanks!

Just installed and ran it. Works great!

I'm running a rooted 3.2 (Taboonay2.2).

Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] Dblfstr:
1. Use a file explorer to navigate to the /system/lib/

2. Locate libnvomx.so and libnvomx.so.bak

3. If both files are present, delete libnvomx.so and rename libnvomx.so.bak to libnvomx.so

4. Reboot.

I use ES File Explorer. must have super user permission and can mount system as r/w.

[Acer Iconia A500] kclaj:
Thanks. I download the app from page 1 (provided by snickle), installed it to my Accer A500 (non-rooted, android 3.2).

When I run the Netflix app, and trying to view a movie in my instant Q, it pop up a window says ("Streaming not Supported" Please install the Netflix application). Am I doing something wrong, or am I missing anything (e.g. need another app install?)

Please help.

Never mind, I know what I did wrong.. After I reboot my tab, it works now.

Thank you all.
[Acer Iconia A500] Dblfstr:
Glad you got it working.

And to clarify. The instructions above were to UNDO the patch for those who are ROOTED already and applied the patch to their device in order to get Netflix working. The patch got Netflix working but made other things not function.

With the Netflix app posted here, the patch is not needed and you do not need to be rooted.

Guys, thanks a lot for the effort. I just deinstalled the fixed Netflix app and installed the just released Andorid Market Netflix app. New app works well and I don't need a VPN anymore (I live outside USA), the market app is enabled to run in my region.

My A500 used the fixed Netflix app only two days, but I need to recognize it was a grat job.

Thanks again

Hi,

I removed the Netflix apk I downloaded from page 1, and trying to install the Netflix from the Android Market. But after I press the "download" and "ok", an "Purchased Cancelled" message box with message "This item cannot be installed in your country" pop up.

What did I do wrong. Need help to resolve this issue.

Well if i7 is out of your budget an AMD Phenom II x6 is real cheap right now with bulldozer around the corner (This is what I currently have).

I honestly would wait for bulldozer so you aren't feeling buyers remorse once it comes out. I highly doubt you will be able to afford ivy bridge if you can't afford i7. Intel is soo pricey.

Amd. Will not buy intel. :p

-My life is a shooting range, people never change-
[Off-topic] quanium:
had you asked this question 2-3 years ago I would have said Amd hands down. On-die memory controller used to make all the difference. Now that Intel has on-die memory controllers with their core i3/5/7 line, Amd is definitely lagging behind in performance. I'd still recomend a black edition phenom II x4 or x6 for someone who loves to tweak and game out, but if you've got the cash, Intel sure seems to be the ring leader lately.

I had a 9550 BE phenom I, in a nice desktop system, ran it at 3ghz stable, was a fast box. Was given an hp dv6-3050ca which has an i5 in it, with the fancy on die memory controller and video acceleration. Wow was I EVER impressed at the progress intel has made, I even managed to run fallout new vegas at 15-20fps on low settings on this thing. We're talking intel graphics here, integrated. They've made leaps and bounds in the past few years. I currently have a Core i7 720qm sitting in a asus g73jh; I'd say it has a bit of a low clock speed with all 4 cores engaged, but with 8 threads, what's the difference. Takes a Phenom II x6 to match the same level of performance. Though either can be had new for about the same price.

Intel i7's are pricey as all hell, and unless you've got cash to dump and are looking for extreme performance, you'll probably be more than happy with an Amd. If you're looking to game matching up a nice Amd/Ati motherboard with an Ati video card, really does wonders in terms of compatibility, I've built a few myself and they were painless builds. Intels tend to be more efficient, expecially in the mobile arena. There's something sexy about a 140W cpu though, and that's where the phenom II line shines, they chew up power like nazi's chew up amphetamines, and they chew through like raped apes.

All in all amd is a good start/middleroad for the money, but for true high end power, or mobile efficiency stick to intel. I've noticed a trend across all cpu manufacturers, the more on die cache, the better. 2mb extra cache is worth more than 600mhz, imho.

Fits perfectly without changing the back plate. Made for the i9100 International Galaxy S II and fits our AT&T Version :)

Fair boost from a 1650.

Will see if it makes much of a real world difference and post back.

Using the battery I find about the same drain as the stock battery but the kicker is when I plug in the USB cable my phone goes into a boot loops. Sending the batteries back!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Fair boost IF it actually meets its rated capacity. Most cheapo aftermarket batteries don't even come close.

I'm from chile and after a few FW updates, i realise that i have lost 3g connection. Then i start my cruzade to recover 3g with no success. Lot of forums, msg and info search give me only one thing: HEADACHE.

all i read is "you cant recover 3g if you dont backup your EFS folder first"..

Well my friends, that is a LIE because yesterday i did recover my 3g and without any backup of /efs.. and here's how:

1.- First, you have to install ROOT EXPLORER

2.- Go to EFS folder, press the R/W button

3.- Rename nv_data.bin to nv_data.bin-whatever

4.- Rename your nv_data.bin.md5 to nv_data.bin

5.- REBOOT. After that you will not have any conection.. dont be afraid, is part of the process.

6.- Open ROOT EXPLORER again, go to /efs and RENAME again rename nv_data.bin to nv_data.backup

7.- Rename nv_data.bin-whatever to nv_data.bin

8.- REBOOT again.

9.- at this step, network lock must be on.. so the phone will prompt for the unlock network pin. press cancel

10.- from android market, download and install galaxy_s_unlock

11.- unlock with option 2, reboot

12.- voilá, 3G is working again.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] matacuras:

you do it wrong if you dont get any result. as i said before, i use that method to recover my 3g back and it works for me. maybe you dont have the same FW, but that method WORKS
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mastercipo:
NOT TRUE DO NOT TRY THIS !, BEFORE DOING THIS BACKUP YOUR EFS FOLDER !

heres what I did, i follow all the steps written in here and after renaming those files indicated my line was cut off, i dont have a signal, cant call, cant even send a message.

so here's the restart, i restarted the phone and booted still with no signal, then again back to rename again then restarted my phone again.

now after a restart not even a network lock message prompted me, still no signal, cant use the phone then i have downloaded sgs_unlock_software do the thing that he say still my phone was ****ed off.

So what i did i restore my backup and wallah! it works.

Thanks to this guide, this guide is how you will waste your phone!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moonbloom:
Go to the market and download "Root Checker".

It can check both if you have rooted your phone properly, and if you have Busybox installed properly.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0gravity1:
As stated above you can use "Root Checker" which is the easiest way or you can use "adb" if you want to use adb then you type:

adb shell

$ su

su

#su

whey you type "adb shell" (hit enter) it will show you a '$' then you type 'su' and hit enter. If you got a '#' symbol then that means you are rooted.

hope that helps.
