The standard, "untouched" Netflix app should work fine now that the device check has been removed (this is the one magicriggs linked to with the Droid Life article). I've been using it for a couple days now with no issue.

The one from DROID life works fine for me. The one that had the device check disabled started getting errors saying that the app needed to be updated.

I downloaded it from your confirmed link and it works great, the constant "would you like to update" notification is no longer interrupting playback.
Thanks again.
I am getting the update check nag when I first start the app, but not during playback. Rooted Droid X2. Froyo 2.2
I used this link: http://www.droid-life.com/2011/05/2...ice-check-should-work-on-all-android-devices/
Does anyone have the latest APK? It's constantly nagging to update and won't allow me to update because the Droid X2 isn't allowed to access it in market. It still works fine, but that update nag screen is getting annoying. I watch a lot of NETFLIX LOL :/
here it is.
Thanks!

This is great, but I can't imagine using Netflix too often. When do you find yourself in a situation where watching TV/Movies on your phone is your best option? (open question)

I am a geotechnical engineer and (especially in spring and summer) do a decent amount of field work, ie not in my office. Sometimes when out on a site there is a lot of unforeseen down time before my responsibilities are called upon... That's when king of the hill episodes in my car in the shade come up big in the clutch.

With the size and resolution of the screen on this phone, I could see it as an excellent video device. I personally don't have a ton of times I'd use it a such though, hence my question.
Thanks for the answer.

came from a fascinate compliments of Verizon
fascinate has a better looking screen and better camera.

Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA Premium App
I came from the fascinate too. Switched over cuz of constant missed calls. I really liked the phone & the dev community but I pay too much per month for just a screen & camera that can't receive calls. So far the x2 has fulfilled all my major & many of my minor requirements for a smartphone AND people can reach me when they call me so it's all good. And I actually prefer blur over touchwiz.

They have recently released an update about same time as gb for x2 to fix that missed call/text issue and other bugs. My sister was talking about her misses yesterday when I remember hearing about the update. Told her how to check for em and presto no more missed call or text. She doesn't mod her phone at all and lived it except for that problem that is no more.

Coming from samoled, everything else lacks in some areas. But this isn't as bad as it's made out to be. My brother-in-law has an evo & this blows it out of the water. If you want screen, buy screen; if you want phone, buy this.

Went from a Samsung Omnia to the X2. Loving every minute of it. I lurked in the Modaco Omnia forums forever.

Came from a Fascinate. Absolutely loved all of the Roms ans everything for that phone. This Droid X2 is pretty awesome. I like it a lot more than the Fascinate. It's much much faster in my opinion. AND we have gingerbread. It took forever for us to get Froyo on our fascinates. Still miss the SuperAMOLED screen, but this one is just fine. The battery lasts a lot longer on this phone, plus I actually get service where I never could on the fascinate. So its definitely a step up, in my opinion.

Came from LG Ally. Had a Droid X for a week then traded it in for an X2. Screen is awesome! Battery too! haters be hatin lol. But I understand why people dont like the screen, just not an issue for me. I dont know what all this talk of "ghosting" is about tho. What is ghosting anyway?
Came from a Palm Pre, Only thing i miss is that portrait keyboard and WebOS multitasking....oh and overclocking. Got the Droid X2 after i took a river dip with it in my pocket.

Went for a walk today, used RunKeeper to track it. The distance was hugely exaggerated. To see, <can't insert link as I'm under 8 posts>
Says I walked 5.61 miles when in fact it was likely much less than 2 miles. According to the coordinates, it looks like the GPS was all over the place.
Before the run, I rooted my X2 and applied the init.d and the speedy scripts found in a different thread here. Not sure if that could be related?
That's strange. I use it all the time and its dead accurate for me. Also, I have the same setup as you described.

It could be that you are on 2.3.5 since 2.3.5 isnt official yet. That might be another reason why I'll hold off on updating until its official.

EDIT: I got it working, just flashed the mash-up Build Prop for 2.3.4,had to clear cache and Dalvik
Well it took 72 minutes to download with 3g and was 423mb but wow it was worth it. Reminds me of how cool it was 10 years ago. Never thought that I could be playing it on a phone. It is exactly as I remember with nothing left out so thank you Rockstar

Same here lol not a good thing to do on the side walk.
I just downloaded it and it's working fine here on Eclipse 2.0.2. I couldn't download it from the Market on 2.0.2 since it said it was incompatible. I used my last 1.3 nand to download the .apk then applied it to 2.0.2, then waited as it downloaded the 400+ MB of files. Plays fine, although a little choppy in spots.
running on eclipse 1.3rc2, not really seeing any issues w/ game play, seems pretty smooth. Using tweaked minfrees and sd read ahead,not sure if this even matters (1536,3072,20992,22784,24832,32000)(2048). Just wish there was support for the wii controller...
Working fine for me
Anyone else have trouble when downloading the required files? I've tried about a half a dozen times over wi-fi and it will finish downloading all but 1% (says 3 files left) and it just hangs.
Haven't tried it over 3g, mostly because the service in my area is horrid.
you have to wait longer, i thought it hung too but it's not, just give it time, and i had to reboot once before it played correctly.
I think maybe the large gap in time is because it is moving it from cache to the android/data location. Just try again, and give it time. it will work
Agreed, give it time at the end. Works fine for me on Liberty rc31. Every once in a while it shutters, but not often. LOVE THIS GAME!

Anyone know why videos on Netflix are all pixelated on the x2? Is there a fix?
Sent from my MB870 using XDA App
My guess is you have a connection problem of some sort. Are you using it on wireless or 3g? Mine is usually clear. Only time it gets pixelated is when my internet connection is acting up (having trouble with it at home right now). When the connection is working as it should, Netflix works great. If my connection starts going bonkers, the picture will pixelate for a few seconds and then clear up again as the signal gets better. Until my internet problems at home, I never had any problems with it. This reminds me. Have to call my ISP, again.
Tried on my wifi McDonald's wifi 3g. All Pixelated

Netflix looks good on mine. On 3G Nd wifi.
Sent from my MB870 using xda premium
Just tried on my home wifi. Looks just fine, although at the beginning it was pixelated. IIRC Netflix tried to use an algorithm to change its quality to best suit your connection speeds. As has been said previously, WIFI is recommended over 3G, but you might also want to look into some scripts (speedy comes to mind, but I haven't kept up with that compared to what comes with the latest roms tbh).

Its most likely a network difference. The Thunderbolt has 4G, and the X2 has 3G. The reason you just downgraded is because the X2 is way faster than the Thunderbolt. The Tegra 2 processor is no joke.
Actually its a major upgrade. Even rooted with cm7 the thunderbolt is blowing the x2 out of the water

Mmhmm.... Where are you getting your information? What are you basing this on? Which device was running CM7?
Basing it off being able to fly through app after app, webpages being crystal clear, music not skipping or forcing closed. The x2 was running cm7. The locked bootloader sucked balls. I like changing kernels,radios, etc. Thunderbolt does everything I ask it to without hesitating
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
While I do agree that a locked bootloader is terrible (my previous device was unlocked), I have to say that your other evidence merely comes from OS tweaks, not speed. The Xperia play browser is smoother in scrolling than the X2s, but that doesn't mean that it is faster. A good way to see performance differences is to try heavy emulators like N64oid and FPSe with 0 frameskips and graphics smoothing on and you will see a significant difference in performance, especially with FPSe, which has dual core optimization.
When I put my cm7 x2 next to my RF stock TB yea the x2 wins in quadrant scores, but that means nothing when a game like fruit ninja lags on my phone but not hers. Or videos from SD card are pixelated but not on the tb

If the games that aren't compatible are free games, I'd suggest just downloading the apk and sideloading it. One of the reason they aren't "compatible" may be due to the DNA being classified as a phablet by some people (which is the reason why Skype isn't available on the DNA).
