I began yesterday attempting to find a fix for Netflix for the Optimus S and mostly found old threads that gave no solution to the current Netflix update check problem as well as the syncing issue. The current situation is the new version of Netflix is unwatchable due to the audio being at normal speed and the video playing slower than normal. The other issue is that older versions of Netflix force you to update otherwise it exits the app.
**It is important to understand I have done all my testing on YourMomRom 1.1, so please reply with your rom and the results of using this fix.
I have gone through many versions of Netflix from 1.2.2 up to 1.6.0 the current. 1.2.2 on the optimus s has discoloration and a green bar atop the screen. Any versions newer than 1.4.1 produce syncing issues described earlier.
My conclusion is that Netflix 1.4.1 is the best bet for our phone because:
a) There is no discoloration or green bar
b) It has the best sync between the audio/video
Here is a link to Netflix 1.4.1 build 262_118 apk from market untested - xda-developers
or here: [APP] Netflix 1.4.1 build 262_118 Update:9-22 - xda-developers
Edit: I have tried some 1.4.1 Netflix apk files that have the update check removed, however, they too have sync issue. I'll attach the actual file that fixed my sync issue.
Here are the instructions to get past the update check:
1. Turn Airplane mode on
2. Start Netflix app - Wait for "no connection" error
3. Turn Airplane mode off
4. Tap "Retry" until Netflix connects again
5. Enjoy!
This process must be repeated everytime you switch to another app or go out of the netflix app.
Sorry I originally forgot to post these instructions.
