Netflix Problems

I would very much like to know why Netflix in the list of permissions with this new update wants to "Read Personal Information", which says - how use your device and potential personal information.
Why do they need that?

So, we did not update it.

I really wish Google would let us accept some permissons and others not. Permissions is a great idea, but let us have some more control over it.

:(

I figured that just meant that they monitor what you watch, and recommend other movies based on your viewing history.
It's just a guess, but who knows. Maybe Netflix wants to know if you're using your Tab to watch porn.
 
How else do you think Netflix and other apps/website do conditional marketing to you? Many apps/websites look at your cookies, browsing history, etc and use the info to tailor recommend movies (Netflix) and show you adverts that will be more appealing to you.

If your paranoia is so bad you would probably be wise to avoid the internet.;)

I was having this problem as well, and so I installed watchdog and looked at what process was using up CPU every time Netflix would slow down. I noted that it's the Android Media Process hogging CPU whenever Netflix bogs up, and if I go into running processes and force stop the Media Storage process it clears up and Netflix then plays fine again.
 
Hey, I know what you mean. I had the same problem till I found out how to fix it.
It's really easy and you must use a computer to di it. Only thing you need to do is to download clockworkmod recovery 5.5.0.4 on your tab and it will it fix the problem.
 
I've never had problems with Netflix, but after flashing the official ICS build, it's stopped working properly. The videos start off fine, but then the video freezes and the audio continues as normal. Anybody have any suggestions as to how I can fix this?
