Netflix is being a beezy and only allowing their live streaming app on phones with Snapdragon processors, which the Captivate doesn't have. Is it possible to port it over to the Captivate when it comes out?
[Captivate General] gmanunited:
Only time will tell. They are really working hard to stop the switching on Android or lock down Android.
[Captivate General] bames:
It's not netflix's fault...they aren't being a beezy.

If they didn't do this they wouldn't have any content to provide and netflix would cease to exist because providers would pull the content.

No Hardware DRM = No Netflix Streaming

Hardware level DRM?

Back at Mobile World Congress in February, Qualcomm had an exciting, yet troubling announcement. Their future chips would have the DRM libraries built in to run Netflix streaming. Apparently, the key to getting movie studios' blessing for Android is hardware level DRM. If you buy a phone with a Snapdragon, it might run Netflix. But if you have your eye on a phone with a Hummingbird or Tegra 2, you could be out of luck.

[Captivate General] jahfry:
I'll bump this, been using PlayOn for a couple of years now. Not the ideal solution, but there really isn't one. Don't bother with using Media Server, PlayOn has a dedicated app.

It lets you watch a LOT more than just Netflix (Hulu, direct channels, local media files) via transcoding. The streams/movies are sent to your PC, which then transcodes and distributes them.

It creates a DLNA share for viewing streams on your home devices ... it will also, via the new Android app, let you view all of these streams over 3G. I'm currently watching Onion News via PlayOn over 3G (ie, my PC downloaded it, my Android phone app is able to view it remotely).

For me, its a huge boon when traveling. It does have buffering problems at times but that is more because my DSL upstream from home is slower than 3G downloading speed.
[Captivate General] Dani897:

Nexus S

The Nexus S is listed as a Netflix ready device on their web page: http://www.netflix.com/NetflixReady...-d-n-587-netflixforandroidphone&trkid=4112558

And since it's basically a curvier version of a Captivate, I'm sure we'll have it soon enough. It probably gets back to either DRM or business politics.

build.prop edit

If you have rooted you phone, chmod your /system/build.prop file to allow writes, then edit that file to reflect the following changes:

ro.product.model=HTC Vision

ro.product.brand=HTC

then reboot and install netflix. this is working for me perfectly.

I tried to use Nexus S and google but that didn't work out. If you still get the netflix does not work on this phone message at startup, try one of the other models listed on the netflix site

Nice comparison, I'm sure this will help some people out =)

One interesting thing about this.... LIberty is blur free and Apex still has blur components. Supposedly blur is supposed to "slow" the phone down in some ppl's opionion. Thanks for the write-up
[Droid X General] TripleNP:
I flashed Liberty four days ago...the first and second day I really didn't notice any difference in speed. On the third day when I started using the phone I was blown away I thought something was wrong at first. I've never experienced speed like this before .....does it make any since that I didn't notice right away?

Droid X

Liberty 1.5

Oc'd 1.3 very stable

Themed Cyan Galaxy
[Droid X General] brandon2x:
Nice comparison man. Been curious lately as before liberty came out I was a rom junkie switching almost daily. Haven't changed though since liberty. May take a gander at apex now. Thanks.
[Droid X General] senfoo:
ran liberty 1.5 for a good while, also ran fission 2.6.1, but so far performance, stability, & battery life go hands down IMHO to APEX1.4.0

the apextoolbox is a fine piece of work. I actually prefer it over a gui tool app.
[Droid X General] _kast:
Thanks for the comparison. I'm still running Liberty 1.0, but am now curious between both.
[Droid X General] ilearnedwar:
Liberty is a lot of glitz and glamour, but as for stability, battery usage, and speed, its ApeX 1.4 ftw. Its incredible that even with its blur elements ApeX still runs faster and smoother too IMO.
[Droid X General] artietyro:
Thanks for the review....I've been using Liberty 1.5 and like it a lot....My only real issue is strange battery life....some days I'll go all day and have 60-70%, some days I'll run out of battery by 5PM......I am diligent about turning things off (like wi-fi and gps) if I happen to use them and have even started re-booting the phone after I use a battery-hog app..........No real pattern that I can tell.

Still.....just for fun I am thinking of trying APEX.....

Edit. Edit. Edit.
[Droid X General] Liquidretro:
I am planning on installing one of these this weekend and was leaning to Liberty 1.5 until i read this thread. I am thinking that Apex 1.4 now sounds like what I will go to. Does anyone have a good guild (since this will be my first time) to backup my applications, flash to SFB, then to the rom of choice (likely Apex 1.4)?
[Droid X General] brandon2x:
i've been very happy with liberty until the last 2 days. non stop reboots on 1.5. every time i hang up a call, it reboots. i tried to go back to 1.0, doing the same thing. tried 2 different backups, still doing it. been trying to get some help from the developers to no avail. don't know whats going on. had a good experience back when apex first came out, so installing 1.4 right now. we'll see...
[Droid X General] brandon2x:
No go on that! Did a full wipe and installed apex 1.4, did ONE modification to it, and it got stuck in a bootloop. NOW i remember why i got rid of apex before i had liberty. did a full sbf flash and am getting ready to put liberty 1.5 back on it. i think that'll probably fix the reboot issues i was having...

Free online storage list. Add to it if you can please.

I did a little research and found out that DropBox is not the only free online backup solution that can be used for your EVO. I have been trying them out and some seem really amazing and so I wanted to share.

I would put links to them all but you can easily find them by searching on google and I don't know how the MODS would feel about all the outside links.

Although Dropbox seems to have the most fans, I am trying SugarSync because of the instant 5GB storage. Sign up on the SugarSync.com website or click my link below to get a bonus 500MB :)

Here is the list I created. Feel free to add to it.

Dropbox 2GB

SugarSync 5GB <-----My favorite by far...

ZumboDrive 2GB

Memopal 3GB

Spideroak 2Gb

Syncplicity 5GB

Dmailer 2GB

IDriveSync 2GB

Box.net 5GB -->thanks @eelmonger

Microsoft SkyDrive + Sorami (app)- 25gb --> thanks @michaelvibe & jobryan26

Adrive 50GB ---> thanks @michaelvibe

Attention MODS... If I can get an official go ahead from you I will put links (not referrals) to these free resources. I will also do mini reviews on each because some are obviously better than others. The best ones out there such as Dropbox and Sugarsync (IMO) are "the best" because they offer an apps for your phone and computer (MAC or PC).
[EVO 4G General] Fadakar:
Dropbox has always been my favorite, they treat their users like kings, seriously. They offer free space all the time, usually for no reason.

Last time someone made a topic about Dropbox everyone started posting their referral links and everyone got a good chunk of space for free. Let's get that ball rolling, yeah? :D

Dropbox!
[EVO 4G General] Testrunner:
Not just about Dropbox

I appreciate your response. But I did not want this to be a list of where people posted their referral links to Dropbox. Thats cool and all... I have a referral link which has never been used and would love for people to use it but I was hoping more of creating a list of Dropbox like services.

Obviously people will post what they want, but maybe you could start another post about Dropbox specific and see if you can get it started? Cool?

I don't want to be a hypocrite because I did put my SugarSync referral link up there.

p.s- I would like to make a nice resource for everyone looking for free online storage. Does anyone know if the mods would mind if I put links (not my referral links), but just simple links to each free service so people to access easily?
[EVO 4G General] eelmonger:
I love Dropbox, but when I started filling that up, I found Box.net which gives you 5 free gigs, but has some limits on filesizes and such.

Adrive - 50gb
[EVO 4G General] fenixjn:
Yep, been using these guys for 3 years now. No issues. They do not offer SSL encryption on the free accounts though or FTP access. Also, keep in mind that they have 2 free accounts: one which is 50 GB completely free and another one which has also 50GB but has a 14 day trial. Make sure you choose the right account on creation.

Once inside all file transfers are handled through a java interface.
[EVO 4G General] BrandonEnr7:
I have been using Dropbox for about a month and it is amazing. Keeps all of my things in sync between my Laptop, Netbook, EVO, and iPod Touch. 2GB is more than enough for me and it is so simple to use.

Thanks for the list of other places, I might be curious to try other services though to see what else is out there.

@Biker1 - Thanks for the resources but I checked them out and as far as I could tell they were not free. Please correct me if I am wrong. Nice link to compare Dropbox with Sugarsync!

@indagroove - This thread is not spam. Your post is not helpful. I check this thread daily and will continue to add free resources as I find them or when people post them. I OBVIOUSLY put my link to Sugarsync. Plus I OBVIOUSLY mentioned I have Dropbox which I did not put a referral link to. I said Sugarsync was my favorite and I thought others would like it and using the referral link will give you an extra 500mg storage... and duh, I get a bonus too but thats not the point. I will gladly put links directly to these free resources if I get an okay from the mod. Not referral links, just plain links. BTW, why not have referral links to give extra storage to someone trying them out? It's a thought worth thinking through.

Notice the little yellow star under my profile? (you have some too so I think you understand). Want to know how many times I have donated to various developers? I am not here to cause problems dude so please chill out. I am here to learn and share. I realize I flipped out a bit here on my response. I dont like accusations. A question directed at me would have been a better way I think.
[EVO 4G General] indagroove:

[EVO 4G General] Testrunner:
@indagroove

In all honesty, I don't care if people post referral links. ALL I was saying to the OP was that I don't want the thread to be ONLY about referral links. I really want to make a nice list of free online storage for us.

I have seen those threads that are just about referrals. One hundred referral links to dropbox gets old and cluttered.

I have a thought. Maybe on a first come basis then as a "reward" for finding cool free online storage each user can post ONE referral link to the resource they found. That way anyone wanting to sign up for that service gets off to a nice start.

BTW- I just started this thread, I don't control it. Do what you want. But don't go claiming this thread is spam because its not.
