Not certain where to post this for this device but wondering how we would go about getting netflix to function on this device.
Thanks
Though I am also curious, this type of thing belongs in "Themes and Apps"

Yeah I just downloaded the app. from the market and it definitely does not work yet. Lame.
Don't worry, with the price increases and change in policies, Netflix is obviously becoming money hungry. That means they are absolutely working on getting their app working on all devices.

Well good to know at least it works for 99% of the phones that are currently released anyway lol.

Yeah money hungry is an understatement. I have to give it to them though, they have obviously made some loot over the past few years because freakin' Netflix ads are everywhere and their crappy app. is on every Bluray and internet based TVs in the known universe. Good marketing guys at ol' Netflix *secretly owned by Google...to be sure* Muahahahaha! Just kidding its late.....
Yeah too bad they did a bait and hike. They bait you with low prices and awesome service. Then, once you're hooked, they raise the prices and make you pay extra for features that were previously free.
Good marketing, bad for pocket books.

At first I was like OMG, but alas, streaming does not work.
I'm also interested in this, i'll try and find one after my class lets out. There is an app to stream tv shows that I use and it's pretty good, has alot of tv shows. https://market.android.com/details?id=tvshows.kiio.es

Yes I use TV Shows stream as well and its quite awesome although a tad expensive but at least its only a one time fee. Definitely give it a look. Tons of shows to choose from. I use it every day on my tab both with and without my HDMI dock.
T-Mobile tab running latest Overcome
The tv shows stream app is amazing. The quality of the videos varies but the sheer amount of shows available makes up for it.
I've been doing some research and just looking into it I have the leaked app but not streaming I'm able to move my que and all that good jazz but my question is how exactly is netflix blocking streaming from my Droid and letting streaming on Windows 7 phone and the iPhone...Verizon has both on their network.

DRM in the hardware. The LG Revolution will have NetFlix which supports said DRM. We have the same processor as that phone so hopefully NetFlix adds support for the Thunderbolt.

As far as I know the leaked netflix app that was announced a few weeks ago doesn't work on the Tbolt.
Oh well. There isn't any other app that I am aware of and I've been an Android girl for over a year now.. So I think you might be out of luck. There is a website though that is java enabled that I use to be able to watch movies through my phone. Hope that eases a bit of the frustration Netflix is causing by not providing an app yet for us
The website name is veetle dot com & I also love LOVE the TV Stream app. That works wonders for me. Hope this helps
Playon works! Had mine working but then my mobile connection broke. Never got to try mobile data to wee how it streams but worked well with WiFi.

Correct, it doesn't work on the TB right now... But it doesn't work on any other phone either at this moment. That's because it is assumed that Netflix hasn't yet "flipped the switch" to turn it on since it's not yet ready for primetime (the .apk itself was prematurely pulled from an upcoming LG ROM dump) and has not yet been 'officially' released from Netflix.
The Bolt has the same processor as the upcoming LG device that is confirmed to support Netflix. As such, it is presumed that the Bolt has the same DRM keys to allow for streaming. It's just a matter of Netflix enabling streaming to the app on their end
From what I understand from one of our reps, is that there is a going to be a netflix streaming app working on Verizon soon, they are waiting for a specific phone to launch it.
can't wait!
So do we know maybe an ETA on when we can expect to see it go live?

Probably around the time the LG Revolution drops (since it is likely the phone that is slated to "launch" the Netflix app), which is scheduled for a Q2 release
That is correct, will first launch on the Revolution. You guys don't have to much longer to wait

I might actually restart my netflix service when this comes live. Might not be so bad watching movies on this screen. My Inc was just a little too small to really enjoy.
Thinking bout getting the d3 and coming from the Inc I'm used to a big dev community so I'm wondering if the d3 will get one too once it has root

Many of the OG Droid owners are nearing phone renewal time so hopefully many of them pick the Droid 3. Of course there is a lot more out there now for android phones so some of them may leave for other phones. I'm someone who likes having the option of a physical keyboard so the Droid 3 was for me.
I think our major players are starting to emerge. But yes, a lot of D1 and D2 owners are coming up for renewal, and we are deathly loyal to our droids.
That, and being one of the few dual core phones, a world phone, and a physical keyboard give it MAJOR appeal.

I'm sure it will it just depends on on what they can do to the phone. And definitely if moto unlocks the bootloader. Then we have pretty much much have a overcharged 3g dominating phone. Especially if ChevyNo1 and peter Alfonso jumps aboard sorry for any misspellings in the dev names

Hmm well at the very least, I for one am getting this device tomorrow to start experimenting with it which will mean camera image and video enhancements.
First thing I will do once rooted will be to tweak the bitrate values for images, video/audio and fix the white balance tolerance/default colour matrix.
Then including smaller resolution values as menu options, strange why they only added 8mp and 6mp options, I need 3mp for some situations.
I think the phone will be perfect with only a few modifications as i'm a fan of stock firmware.

I am planning on working on the Droid 3, I have tried to root, and am still trying, but all attempts have been unsuccessful as you can tell. I do not doubt root will be found for the Droid 3 at all though.
It seems like alot of good people are working on it so I don't doubt that we'll get it soon
/droid3
My faith lies within the community. I know well get this achieved!

It has the same processor as the GNex, with an open source operating system. Full Android will probably be running on it within a month. Sounds better than a smart tv in a much more aesthetically pleasing device with nfc.

It is aesthetically pleasing. Why would I need Android in a tv box when I have it in my hand? Short of a DVR function, the only thing I need it to do is wirelessly stream media from my hand to the TV. $99 is the price point for that, not $299. And I was never sold on the "everybody can use it" thing either, unless I'm coming to your house and jacking your stereo lol.

Yeah the everybody can use it thing is bs. I just like the idea of a Pseudo android device that I can use my phone and tablet as a wireless control for without having to use proprietary apps.
The Q is on my list. Its pretty neat but with my mhL adapter and mk802 android mini PC I'm not needing it just yet.

I for one had a love/hate relationship with my Thrill. Loved it at first....hated waiting for the updates....but over all the phone has been GREAT! I rooted, but kept the stock ROM. Just froze some bloatware. Recently updated to ICS...LOVE IT! I would like to root again to get Tethering and to re-freeze apps, but so the solutions I am finding are too convoluted for me. I want something as simple as it was to root with GB using Megatron Exploit.
My contract is up in a month. I am definitely considering the Optimus G. Not a fan of the S3 form factor. Feels like a toy and don't like the rounded edges.
I love my Thrill but LG and ATT seriously upset me when it comes to updating. And the tools necessary to to modify this phone are ridiculous. Not so bad now that I have tinkered with things, but it look a long time to figure it all out. This phone would be junk if it were not for the few brilliant developers we have that took the time to work around LG's crap. I will probably never buy an LG phone again. I want something with over the air updates and I want to purchase it from a company that actually concentrates on the phones that are already out. Don't even get me started on things like cases and invisishields which you can't even find anymore at places like Best Buy, etc.

Never never never!!!!
I will never ever get another lg phone. The device itself is not bad, the issue is the service from lg themselves. Its nonexistent worst support ever. Im def going to another company when my 2 years is up.
I don't think I would probably go with a samsung s3 or s4 maybe a nexus. I would like to have an sd card though so the nexus probably wont happen. I dont even know what phones lg have out so I do like this phone though plus for a 100 buck and no data plan can't really beat it.
I've never seen such a laggy device. It's bizarre.

They really had no say so in what happened with ICS.
Part of it was AT&T's wrong doing by cutting the contract with LG for a while. They had to renew it before any decision to release another firmware/software was developed.

Lol. Personally I find the article ridiculous. The GPU is capable of 533 so why would they not bench it at that speed. Just because they have it clocked down right now doesn't mean anything. They could put out an update tomorrow to let it loose. The purpose of a benchmark is to show what the hardware is capable of so...
Plus who goes by benchmarks anyway? Play a game on the S4 and other devices. Which one do you prefer? I know what mine is

Yeah, I don't really care about benchmarking phones anymore. After so many iterations of phones we have now, everyone knows what they are getting into with each different brand.
I'm also sick of mainstream tech reviewers running Quadrant on Nexus devices (particularly the N4) and then saying that the phone is less powerful because the score is so much lower than similar devices with OEM skins, as though Quadrant is the final word in a phone's performance.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
Nothing shady going on here. The phone is not allowing the CPU/GPU to run full speed for games because they typically run for long periods of time and can over heat and drain battery faster. Many phones do this. Only certain apps get to run at full speed.
