Netflix removed from the Android Market

**deaofly** · 06-04-2011, 08:13 AM

Hey guys the netflix app has been removed from the Android market so they can get a fix going, plus thanks to all the people crying and complaining and leaving bad ratings on their comments section INSTEAD OF CALLING THEM. I hope it comes back soon, my Netflix app is still installed but same issues. Just to be sure it was gone I used my wifes Evo 2.2 froyo and the Netflix was not listed on the market for her froyo version ether.

Also Netflix said that they are working on get the hdmi out to tv's but not anytime soon. They said the problem is the same reason why it took so long to get Netflix to Android. They have to insure that while using hdmi out people can't use devices and programs to strip and/or record the movies and shows from Netflix app itself.

The problem isn't that the app doesn't work at all, it is that it doesn't work with the brand new Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread OTA update for the HTC EVO.

I'm guessing that you are successful in running it on the DROID X with the recent Gingerbread update even though it isn't officially one of the supported devices. I am running it on Gingerbread as well on an HTC EVO, but I am running CyanogenMod 7 as my ROM instead of the official HTC Gingerbread ROM.

So, I don't consider it to be a Gingerbread problem, but an HTC implementation of Gingerbread problem.

BTW, I don't think the app is completely gone from the market, it has just been hidden from HTC EVOs.

Has anyone heard if or how long before they have it fixed

**splmonster** · 06-07-2011, 06:28 PM

It has not been removed, it is because the app itself does not support the EVO 4G update 2.3.3. It is showing up on three other Android devices for me. Nexus One, and two Nexus S's.

I can't get a download link for it.
Stock X and new GB build.
Appbrain sends to Market then market says requested item can't be found.
Is it somewhere else?

And that link above works, but won't let me download to my pc/usb to my phone. Says it's not compatible with an X.

Currently it's not compatible with the Droid X GB update. Netflix confirmed on Twitter a fix for the EVO 4G and Droid X was coming.

**Linkchomp** · 06-08-2011, 03:57 AM

that sucks, just another problem with the GB update on the Evo. Wish my Nexus S would hurry up.

Is there any other place that has the Netflix app, like SideME or Amazon because if it's off the market, it will not show up in my apps list, so I won't be able to transfer it.

glad i didn't update...i learned after the froyo update....wait a month for them to get the bugs out of it before moving on

It's not really a problem, this stuff is expected on any type of OS upgrade that older apps supported for older versions won't work, and won't be able to until the version is out and the developer can fix the issue.

Anyone heard anything else about this supposed quick fix from Netflix? I only bought the damn subscription because of being able to use it on my EVO. Amazing the guys at xda can fix these issues in a day or 2, but Netflix hasn't in a week.

I'm glad it shows up for you but it looks to me that it has indeed been removed. I have an EVO running the stock Sprint/HTC Froyo ROM and it will not show up for me at all. Phone is not even rooted! I tried my friends Evo which is rooted and couldn't find it in the market either (used 3 different roms, VaelPak, Myn's Warm 2.2 and Fresh).

**HawaiiD** · 06-13-2011, 01:30 PM

I have not upgraded to Gingerbread just yet.

Because,
Netflix is still working fine for me with Froyo.

However, I do want to upgrade to Gingerbread.

Is there a stock Netflix app working for Gingerbread yet?

thanks

Nope.

I called Netflix a couple days ago and canceled my account. The EVO was my primary device for watching Netflix. The Customer Service person was unaware that the app was broken, but speculated that a fix would be out soon. She had no knowledge of it, however.

I'm not upset and was very polite...as was the Customer Service Rep. She gave me a refund of my recent monthly payment and canceled my account with not hassle. For me it is disappointing, but being able to get a refund and cancel was appreciated.

BTW... Netflix keeps your settings and queue for 2 years after a cancellation. So, no worries on losing that for a temporary suspension.

They pulled it from the market on EVO's, but as the Market in general it is still there. Showing up on my Nexus S.

you know you could've just suspended your account without canceling and keeping all your settings, right?

**midmofan** · 06-14-2011, 12:46 PM

This is why I'm not upgrading my Rooted Evo yet either. There are a couple of very nice looking GB ROMs already available and more on the way but I use Netflix a lot and don't want to lose it.

Yup, I chose to cancellation over suspension for the following reasons:

Even if I cancel, my settings are kept for 2 years
Hopefully, cancelling sent a message to get them to update the Android app and to have a record of the cancellation on the customer service reps' calllog.
When you suspend, you select the length of the suspension up front. Up to 90 days. If the app is fixed in 3 days I may wish to rejoin earlier.

**microbob** · 06-15-2011, 08:46 PM

So disappointed Droid X has new app and ours isnt fixed yet

**ffblackie** · 06-17-2011, 11:33 PM

Netflix is supposed to be fixed with a minor upgrade coming out the 20th.

**dumpedduce** · 06-18-2011, 09:43 AM

Yes, HTC is suppose to do an OTA update the 20th to fix it. For everyone being on Netflix cases, its not Netflix fault but HTC is the one fore the long awaited update to fix the Netflix app including the hearing aid setting and voicemail problems.

Have you tried to hit cancel? When I'm on a 2.3 rom it will not let me watch anything, but I go back to a 2.2 rom like cm7 and all I have to do is hit cancel and continue on watching Netflix.
