Netflix Official!

[NegativeCreep]

Netflix is officially available for the DroidX (MUST be on 2.3). Uninstall the leak and hit the market for the official release!

Well, you watch the movie in horizontal mode. Everything else is portrait, though.

I was coming in to share the news, too. I just grabbed it from the Market!

I hate to seem so impatient, but it's about time this got official... it'll be a nice compliment to HBO Go.

Hey for anyone who was using the leak previously, did it somehow chew through your battery when NOT in use?? I installed the leak yesterday and today my phone is down to 30% battery after 8 hours on the battery. On Monday I got over 14 hours before I hit 30% battery.

I tried streaming a movie once yesterday and then I shut down Netflix.

I just removed the leak and installed the official. We'll see how that goes.

I'll take Netflix when Netflix takes my prepaid debit card as an acceptable form of payment..which will probably be never

FYI: You don't have to be on Gingerbread for it to work. I am still on 2.2.1 & it works great for me too.

Edit: I'm talking about the official app, not any of the leaks, I was sure to uninstall that first.

Yeah, that won't ever happen.

If you want Netflix bad enough though, why not just get a bank account? Lots of banks offer free checking accounts with debit card access.

They take my prepaid card that I got from walmart. Might want to try that. As long as it's either a Visa or Mastercard it should work fine.

Hm, that's odd. The release notes say 2.3. Oh well, enjoy!

Yeah, I read that in the release notes but saw it was showing in my Market so I uninstalled the hacked app I was using (after backing up a copy just to be safe). Then installed the official app & it works!

I guess they didn't put that it works on 2.2.1 Droid X's because they assumed that all Droid X's would be on 2.3. Ha!

Netflix on Droid X

It is about time....but I am glad I waited rather then get a halfbaked form of netflix and then hate it because it wasn't full worked on. My kids will also love since Netflix has a lot of their favorite shows and cartoons

 

[mossyoak]

Try "RealHDMI" in the Market.

I was using the hacked Netflix app from xda and i had no problems at all! I have noticed absolutely no difference between the hacked and original apps.

yea I have a GreenDot prepaid Mastercard. I tried it on my X as well as my PS3 and it won't accept it on either device. Guess they want to make sure they can have access to my money and not depend on me to keep money on it,lol

And for the poster who suggested a bank account. I do not hold bank accounts because of my terrible credit/past but thanks for the reply

Same here, still using the last "unofficial" app. It works great and see no reason to mess with it.
