Guest somebody9 Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 That's right Netflix is working on the Streak's beautiful 5" screen. The following APK from XDA works : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.p...p;postcount=138 The videos stream, however there's a slight problem I'm hoping somebody here can help fix : All the videos play faster than 1x, that is - it looks and sounds like you're watching everything in fast forward mode (on a VCR, if any of you kids know what that is) Steve, Fards? Help?

Guest somebody9 Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 these build.prop mods worked ro.product.model=HTC Vision ro.product.manufacturer=HTC I changed those values but I'm still getting a playback rate that's too fast.
Guest Kohawk Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 I changed those values but I'm still getting a playback rate that's too fast. U reboot after the change?
Guest rockymtnbri Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) Just edited my build.prop with those mods - crossing my fingers. IT WORKS!!!!! I powered off my Streak and when I re-started it, I kicked off Netflix and the audio was the right speed. Edited May 13, 2011 by rockymtnbri
Guest somebody9 Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 @Kohawk : Could you please upload your build.prop file for me?
Guest Roperband Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 Will this work on a stock rom? And can you do it without messing with the ADB stuff? :unsure:
Guest dwnhllfreak Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 these build.prop mods worked ro.product.model=HTC Vision ro.product.manufacturer=HTC Build prop edit worked for me too. Thanks.
Guest Azurren Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 Will this work on a stock rom? And can you do it without messing with the ADB stuff? :unsure: If you've got root access then yes Also you don't have to use ADB, you can use a file manager (with root permissions) like "root explorer" (paid) or "super manager" (free)

I just make the changes and then just save and exit?
Guest Azurren Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 Backup the original (Copy / Paste with a different name :)) Edit the file original Reboot Should work :unsure:
Guest Roperband Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) Backup the original (Copy / Paste with a different name :)) Edit the file original Reboot Should work :unsure: It will only play for about one second before stopping the video. I'm not sure why it's not working (I'm on 345). Edited May 13, 2011 by Roperband
Guest JOBooth Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 It will only play for about one second before stopping the video. I'm not sure why it's not working (I'm on 345). Same here. Acts like it's going to play, brings up the screen in landscape with the slider along the bottom, then immediately take me back. Tried adjusting: ro.product.model, brand and rebooting. Even tried ro.product.name, device to no avail. I'm on 351 rooted. If it works on Steve's 1.9 that might be reason enough for me to move over.

Yeah, doesn't look like anyone on a stock Rom has it working yet.

Guest jackgt Posted May 16, 2011 Report Posted May 16, 2011 Here's a link to a Netflix build with the device-checker disabled: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13730649 It works fine on my DJ Steve 1.9 Streak. I haven't tried it on a stock load.

I haven't tried it on a stock load. Does not work with stock 2.2.2 tried the device checker disabled version and edited build prop, the app loads but when the video is about to stream it goes back to the listings.

I haven't tried it on a stock load. Did you have to modify the build prop? or just load the apk? Why would the edit change the video speed? I loaded the first link from xda - but it plays back at chipmunk speed. it loads and logins. I am on 1.9 as well.. Edited June 14, 2011 by Texasjlc
Guest Gadgetgrl76 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Posted July 30, 2011 Check out www.streaksmart.com search for netflix. There is a link for phandroid. Hope this helps!!!
Guest JaxWeather Posted August 11, 2011 Report Posted August 11, 2011 Netflix working on Dell Streak Stock 2.2 with no modification needed: Link to androidpolice.com story below: http://bit.ly/nyqc7f Netflix 1.3.0 APK downloaded to both a Dell Streak 5 Android 2.2.2 (updated with QDL tool) and Stock Streak 5 Android 2.2, works on both phones, no issue with double speed. Volume seems a bit low but it does work... -Bob
Guest AIR-WIZZ Posted August 20, 2011 Report Posted August 20, 2011 I'm curious if this Build.prop mod will effect anything else on the phone? Does this now mean the app market thinks I'm using an HTC Vision?
