Netflix on Droid X

I used the appl Xternal Display Seemed to work fairly well for awhile
Like most said the screen will be locked up during the movie
Hard to get it synced to the tv have to insert and pullout the cord alot and finally it will take
However, I can get the movie to play on TV with HMDI cord but no sound Vol on Droid X is Max and TV is Max Any idea?

I agree, Galaxie. Real HDMI costs money. There's a free app called Xternal Display that works fine. As you said, though, there's a hardware limitation that prevents the Droid X from piping out the HDMI content and also displaying it on the phone's screen. So you have to look at the TV but touch the phone's screen to navigate around. Kind of like an old video game! Once you're watching what you want to watch, you just sit back and watch.

Watching Netflix via my Droid X

I have the cable and downloaded the Netflix app Works great on the Droid but I would like to watch on the hotel TV
The TV has a HMDI 1 and 2 output outlets I plug in and it says No HDMI 1 signal.
Any idea how I can get it to work? It is a Westinghouse tv that has a VGA connection and HDMI connections

I Googled the problem and stock out of the box, HDMI is for user created content only. Thus only pictures and videos shot by the Droid X goes out the HDMI port.
However, further searching reveals that there is a app called RealHDMI ($3.90) in the market that is suppose to allow HDMI output all the time. Thus applications like Netflix will work through the HDMI port.
Link is here

There is a free app located here

I have not used either app, just found them on the market through a link. Use these are your own risk since I cannot guarentee how good/bad either of the apps.

NETFLIX IS HERE FINALLY FOR DROID CHARGE!!! Updates to 1.3.0 immediately after downloading 1.2.2.

Just found it on the Android Marketplace.
Note: It first downloads version 1.2.2 which doesn't work, but then it should immediately tell you there is an update back at the marketplace. It will download 1.3.0.
Works wonderfully, finally got it on this gorgeous phone, Thanks Netflix!

Dear Volition,
Nice! I went on the Market and searched; it brought me right to v1.3.0 build 246.
Thanks!

How can i hook up my droid 2 to get netflix on hdtv

how can i hook up my droid2 to my tv to get netflix

Netflix might also have a restriction in place on their streamed media that the file/movie can't be viewed on anything but the original device.

Droid Bionic text messages going to wrong people

I have had my Droid Bionic for several months now. It is not rooted and I don't download tons of apps on my phone. I don't use netflix to watch movies or download music. The apps I have are mainly to help me with work. So I'm not app happy just downloading things non stop. This is why I'm confused and irritated. My Bionic has started sending text messages to the wrong people! I had this issue with my Droid X which is why I switched to the Bionic, hoping that after all these years of making smart phones motorola, google and verizon would put a phone out there that actually works like it's supposed to. How much practice do these phone companies need to get their OS right? I don't mind paying a lot of money for something that will make my life a little easier but I get very irritated paying a lot of money for something that doesn't work the way it's supposed to...and at the most inappropriate times. The Bionic has gone from helping to adding to my daily hassles. Is anyone else having issues with text messages going to the wrong people on their Bionics? Have you found a way to fix it? I'm also getting error messages that just started about a week ago...com.motorola.main.service has stopped and then a option to forceclose. The tech support person at Verizon sounded like he had never seen a smart phone before and gave me the Verizon standard technical reply..."do a factory reset". I should not have to reset anything on a NEW Phone! Why don't you fix these problems Google, Motorola and Verizon and in a timely manner?! I know for a fact if I didn't pay for my phone as promised or pay my bill as promised I would suffer the consequences immediately! You cell phone companies are all about getting your money and leaving us customers out here hanging and irritated. If you think my feelings are misguided then feel free to prove me wrong. FIX THESE ISSUES AND FIX THEM IN A TIMELY MANNER! BETTER YET, PUT OUT A PRODUCT THAT WORKS AS PROMISED IN YOUR ADS! TRAIN YOUR TECHS TO ACTUALLY RESOLVE ISSUES INSTEAD OF RECITING THEIR FAVORITE MOTO "Do a factory reset"! When you do these 3 things I will not feel like someone who has been lied to, robbed, and irritated! I am usually a very positive person but after dealing with issues with 2 expensive phones I'm a little upset. Can anyone help me fix my phone?

Go into your settings, Messages and turn on iMessage. It will then send messages that are iMessages to both your iPad and iPhone. You can also turn off this feature on the iPad if you do not want to receive messages on the iPad.

I have the new iphone and thought I could download Netflix but only found "Netflix Instant's Best Movies" in the apps. I pay for Netflix monthly. Is it not possible to download it here and use it on the iPhone?

I understand that the OP failed to do research. But then, I wasn't replying to the OP. I was replying to Chris. I have Verizon. I can talk and use data at the same time with my Droid Maxx. Therefore, the problem is not just with the network. It would be technically possible for an iPhone to do that on Verizon/Sprint if Apple had chosen to use a different chip, such as the kind other phone manufacturers have elected to use.
Of course, this is probably all irrelevant to the OP's issue. It was merely a point of clarification, especially for those people who are used to being able to use both voice and data at the same time on Verizon. When they switch to an iPhone, they are often surprized at the limitation.
Best of luck.

Call all HTC Droid owners

This guy the other day I was talking to said that the Iphone is way better and faster then the HTC droid incredible. So I am asking people who own the HTC incredible if it can:
1. Do everything the Iphone can do
2. Run apps better then the Iphone
In 12 months I will be able to get a new phone with Verizon and I was wondering if the Droid phones are any good then I'll stay but if not I may switch. I am happy with Verizon, If I am paying 30 bucks a month for unlimited data then I expect the internet to be really fast.

Let me put it like this. The iPhone 4G is coming out this month. I haven't heard what the processor is like but it will be an A4 processor possibly as high as 1Ghz. Front facing camera for video calls to other iphone 4G users only. It will be sporting the same 3.5" display it always had but with the highest resolution of any phone currently on the market. Tiny but high resolution. The new OS now features its own special version of multitasking, which is nice since you can use data and make calls at the same time over the air (meaning without wifi which you need active to do the same thing on CDMA phones on Verizon). It sports a 5MP camera. According to preliminary reviews from people with the first few of these the call quality is much improved both with the software and the antennae placement. All in all iPhone users will be greatly pleased with this current iteration of their beloved icon. However, Non iPhone fanboys are a little disappointed because all iPhone OS4 really did was catch the technical specs up to Android phones that are currently out. Sure cutting edge like the EVO but that's only impressive for a month or 2 until it is upstaged.
The Droid Incredible boasts a 1GhZ Qualcom Snapdragon processor. It's fast like a marsupial (vague Bob and Tom reference for fun because I like the impression of Christopher Walken one of their guests did), Android has always done multitasking so big check mark on that one. The screen is a 3.7" 800 X 480 which looks outstanding. The Amoled screen uses less battery than tft and in the Incredible the touch sensors are incredible best on a phone at least up until it came out in late April early May. Android is far more customizable than iPhone OS unless that has been changed as well (it hasn't). The Droid incredible does not capture HD movies nor does it have a front facing camera. The EVO was the first to sport one of those in the Android world (at least in the available on a network Android world the Saygus had it way before but has yet to be released) there will be more coming. However, the Incredible does have FM radio receiver which is nice to have an 8MP camera. The incredible does have some weaknesses a few other Android phones do not have one of which is antennae placement does impede signal strength and for some this has proven to be a significant issue for others it hasn't been an issue at all. It doesn't capture HD movies which is kind of one of those big question marks considering it is basically standard on most phones now however considering the cameras capabilities I imagine that can be boosted with software if I am not mistaken. Though it may never be.
The difference in platform is a significant topic. iPhone OS has the advantage of the larger app store. Currently somewhere around 200,000 apps. The Android market houses somewhere around 70, 000 neither number is official. The iPhone store is the only place where you can get apps for your iPhone and it is closely guarded and regulated and periodically apps are removed often for no apparent reason. The Android market has some kind of regulation but it is considerably looser. Apps aren't turned down because Google doesn't like them or agree with them there are very few reasons apps would be removed mostly for being malicious. The Android market isn't the only resource for Android apps either. There are other app stores out there some solely for phones that have been R'ed (the evil R word which must not be named) and app stores just for special interests or some just because it isn't a violation of anything about Android. Currently the Android market is growing at a rate of around 15,000 apps a month and that number grows every month it is pheasible that by the end of the year size of market will be a moot point especially with the coming of new features, new more advanced phones, the ability to install apps on sd cards and larger portions of built in memory, JIT support which is being added to Froyo, and Flash support which is already supported by Froyo so all we wait for is the rollout of Froyo. iPhone developers and Steve Jobs himself has stated under no uncertain terms that Flash WILL NEVER be on the iPhone. Adobe has approached them with it and have been refused multiple times. It has caused friction between Adobe and Apple which had never existed before. Steve Jobs believes HTML5 will be the new standard and will do everything Flash does so there is no need for Flash. You know except that HTML 5 is still in development and it is still unknown when it will be released and official. Also missing the point that there is an entire world of Flash content on the web that is currently unavailable but soon to be available to Android, Winmo, and possibly Blackberry users that will never see the light of day on an iPhone. I don't know about you but for me that is a big deal. I am a photographer of sorts but more importantly to the topic I have a lot of friends who are photographers many of whom use Flash content heavily on their websites. I like playing quick games on the web Flash is the bulk of the quick little games available as well as a lot of the heavier games. Video services such as netflix and Hulu rely on Flash to operate. Some of Microsofts cloud programs are avaiable on the web in the form of flash content. The list goes on. It is arguable that some of those will be tough to use or impossible on a mobile phone ok granted but some things especially the video content would be amazingly fun to have especially if you take a lot of public transport (the electric busses in Chattanooga provide free WiFi as do some busses in other cities).
I don't think Android will Kill the iPhone but I think that currently they stand on arguably equal footing with slight advantages going either way. Android stands to have an advantage though from the standpoint of popularity it will never kill the iPhone because iPhone supporters are so dedicated to iWhatever that it will never die completely. Many of these people started with iPods when they first came out and were tied to them during the heavy DRM days and would hate to lose their collection of DRM'ed material. Though for much of the content and hopefully eventually the rest of it that will be removed or universalized as well so that iWhatever users will be able to choose what best serves them and Apple will be forced to more effeciently keep up. .
Oh and with 12 months to go before you can upgrade think about this by then you will be choosing between a still GSM version of iPhone 5 catching up to whatever minicomputer is passing as an Android phone, and an LTE Android phone on Verizon. By then we will be complaining about not getting Android version 3.5 yet and looking at rumors of a multicore processing Android phone with no less than a gig of Ram and a built in solid state harddrive with 120Gigs on it. Possibly with built in projection (already available on some models not as theoretical as it sounds). We could also pheasibly have an option to get a truely Google phone with data only and make and receive calls using our Google Voice numbers or Google Skype (can't you just see Google eating Skype and offering a better alternative for mobile Skype calling possibly or more to the point probably integrated into Google Voice). Ah what dreams may come.
If that sounds like a pipe dream I can honestly say only 3 things in that paragraph seem like they may be a little bit of a stretch. First iPhone5 coming out (they haven't been on a 12 month schedule before the only reason I say that is that they will have to speed up development to stay competitive because Android moves so dang quickly and is grabbing a lot of the new smartphone users because they are always coming out with something better). Second solid state harddrives on phones, it isn't completely unreasonable but could add bulk or too much raw material costs to be realistic within a year. I will just say it could happen but I don't really expect it. Third Google eating Skype they have bought up other VOIP provider giants and are working on somethings around that but I expect it being longer than a year before that is realistically an option and even then I imagine it being a new service in Beta the way Google Voice has been for so long. Of the three I think the solid state harddrives are the least far fetched closely followed by iPhone 5. Apple is going to have to adapt and I think they are about to start seeing that more clearly especially in the next few months when 200,000 apps just isn't something you can rest on to impress people. Yeah 200,000 apps most of which are games that I can get on Android because they have Flash anyway and besides they have 200,000 apps as well with fewer than a third being games. Yeah definitely that in a year. Definitely.

Netflix stuttering and pauses...

I finally resolved my in ability to play Netflix videos and after updating to the latest Netflix player I got so many pauses and loss of audio/video sync that I would have to restart a video many times to watch the entire thing. I started looking around and found out that I still had Flash Player 10 on my system. I went to the regular Lenovo market and tried to update it but there was no Update or download button. Just OPEN. I then went to the Android Market web site and downloaded Flash Player 11. Installed it and now have a much improved Netflix experience. I still have a few problems but only a fraction of what I was having with Flash 10. Just thought I would post this in case anyone else was having problems.

Wildman my Droids do this if there not connected to Wi-Fi all the time there was one exception when i was in the big city they seem not to do the stuttering or buffering as bad but they still had there little moments. an i was reading the Youtube post in the Market an there were several that were having issues after the recent update with Youtube so i havent updated my droids yet. B33

It seems when i try to login to Netflix it comes back with email id or password is incorrect (code 117), i can't find anything to fix this, help!!!

I've tried everything, reset, unplug, even have it connected via Ethernet, always the same outcome! I can login on our iMac with no problem!

Finally someone who found the solution. I've been searching for the answer for a while, some people suggest resetting the Apple TV, reverting to the previous firmware, changing password to all numbers, you name it.
The right answer is: make sure to have a password with both letters and numbers. Someone at Apple must have thought to override the password requirements of Netflix, without telling anyone else. They need better change management procedures!

Thoroughly disappointed with Droid Razr

I paid a premium price less than a year ago for a LEMON of a phone -- the Droid Razr by Motorola. I have now replaced by new phone with three (3) refurbished phones because of the faculty Google operating system and poor manufacturing by Motorola, which is now owned by Google. Sorry I abandoned my old Blackberry, but I feared the RIM would not survive.

If you could explain the problem you are having, somebody here might actually be able to help you.
And FYI, the RAZR was already being designed, probably built, possibly released before Google took over. Sounds like you have some pre-determined issues with Google, which should probably be addressed to Google themselves.

HT201269 how do I transfer all my data from IOS5 iphone on to my new Droid device( Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate)Don't even ask..Lol.. not my choice. iphone was my old company phone) :0

Hello, I have a (Company owned) iPhone 4 with upgraded IOS5 installed. I have 345 pics , several videos, notes, contacts, and my favorite songs(68 of them) in there. I must return the phone to my former employer. I have purchased a new phone with an SD card capable of 8GB external storage. I also purchased an 8GB flash/thmb drive per advice of the Verizon retail store that stated they can only transfer pics/contacts and failed to even do that after a 2 hour wait. so, how do I transfer my data from old iphone to new Gallaxy S Fascinate? Please! Thanks much... Deano

You can import photos to the computer http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. Contacts and calendar can be synced to the computer as well to a supported application. How to transfer them from there is something I don't know, unless the new device supports getting contacts from those programs. You can also sync your calendar and contacts to gmail and then you would be able to sync them to the Droid that way. songs are in iTunes and are saved on your computer if you have them added there. However they could be in AAC version which would mean you would have to convert them for the Droid. You might want to go to an Android forum, they may have information there about how to do it, since many Apple owners have switched to Android.

Back up contacts from Samsung Reality to Droid 2X

I went on backup assistant and kept getting Flash errors. I have a Samsung Reality and I am upgrading to a Droid 2x in the next day or so. I wanted to back up my contacts but the FAQ on that subject don't seem to apply to me or the SR - (downloading the BA software). I went through all the steps but when it came to download or purchase the app, the Flash allow dialog pop up froze. Tried it three times.
I have a good data plan with the SR - so can I back up contacts or will I have to manually re-enter in the Droid?

Nevermind! I figured it out!

What changed in recent Droid update?

I had an update pushed to my Droid 2 yesterday. Is there a page somewhere that describes what changed? My version info says:
- System Version: Version 2.3.20.A955.Verizon.en.US
- Android Version: 2.2
Thanks.

Just found the answer on Android Forums.

Looking for Help with 4 digit access to Droid phone

My droid 4 digit pin access worked last night then I get up this morning NO GO...I am using same password but it will not authenticate. it there a way to reset without losing everything?

Hello fxrs2008,
Keeping personal information safe and secure is one of the most important factors to our customers. This is why I am so proud to see that our devices offer password setup for additional security! May I ask have you backed up all of your information on your device? If so then the factory data reset is the best option to regain access to the phone. I know that’s not what you want to do but it is currently the only solution to be able to use the phone again. If you need the steps on how to complete the reset then here’s a link for you!
http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=30946
If you need any additional assistance then feel free to ask as I am available to assist!
Thank you…
