Geeks we know you’ve all been waiting on this and we also know the LG Revolution users have been lucky enough to have access to Netflix already. Finally for many others, your time is here to have this access too. The Netflix for Android app has just hit the Market and is apparently available for the HTC Incredible, Nexus One, Evo 4G, G2 and the Samsung Nexus S.
If you can’t find it in the market, go to market.android.com and send it to your device or click here.
Sources say the application is just the same as if you are viewing it on your home T.V. I’m downloading it now and giving it a try. Why don’t you do the same? If you have already, let us know what you think! Are you excited?

It worked, this is awesome.
Watching Kick Ass as we speak, I’ll def will not be needing a Evo 3D now! Thank you Netflix!
I feel silly. I cannot find it in marken from phone and when I go on line, I see no options to send to my phone
Wow, nice to see that it supports my Nexus One…which makes me think it can support quite a few other devices too since its an older phone. Definitely downloading it now to try it.
I didn’t see it in the Market, but it worked sending it to my phone from the website.
It is smoother over 3g than my home wifi connection. Running Cyanogenmod 7.021. This is awesome.

I wonder why they didn’t include the MyTouch 4G, I was under the impression that it had the right chip and all that…
@gimme5, The chipset seems to be irrelevant..as the Nexus S is listed..in their blog they claim they will support ost Android devices..so my guess is next batch..I mean Evo shift isn’t on the list and its same as a G2..
Have it installed on my evo and can view everything but cant get it to stream whether on 3g or wifi. Running virusrom gingersense.
I got it now. Typing in Netflix only brough up the bootleg apps. Had to type in Netflix 1.2.0.
Best news all year!
I’m pouting b/c I have a Droid X…
This is awesome and it is supported on my phone Sweet!!
NOOOOO!!! they shouldn’t have done this. this means I no longer have the only sprint phone that can stream Netflix.
@eric12341,
whoa whoa whoa, you’re on android? No, you have had to find a Winmo proggy for Netflix…
@shatner, what? I don’t even have the tp2 anymore. I have the arrive
@eric12341,
Where’S THE Epic support? Although I’ve had netflix working for a while using Playon, the Official app would be nice.
+1 Another reason why i love my evo. Just watched a movie made here in Jacksnoville, FL called cocaine angel. THANK YOU netflix and thank you HDMI OUT!!!!!
This SUCKS… well for me at least bc I have an Epic 4G… That’s soo not fair, why some but not all devices? My balloon was quickly deflated, this was the only other app I really wanted for my phone and to know that I can’t get the official app really sucks, blows, stinks etc…
Can’t wait for someone to tear this app apart and release it for all Androids…
I wonder if Netflix has a deal with the phone carriers to support their most popular phone selection first. If Netflix released an APP that made the carriers data throughput flooded over night due to every phone getting supported simultaneously, the carrier might block the APP somehow to adjust to the saturation. This is purely speculative in opinion though, but I could at least accept that is an answer. I’ll give them a week to see what happens before commenting on their official blog on how bad they suck for screwing us over.
For those who are interested now…

@testacon, I doubt..the Droid X and Thudnerbolt are not on the list, neither is the mytouch 4g…which are their flagship phones at the moment..and they left out an AT&T phone..I doubt AT&T wanted to be left behind…
I think what up is this, all snapdragon phones can use it with 2.2 and other devices need 2.3…this would explain why Nexus S has it and why people were able to get it working on a Nook with gingerbread and a captivate with gingerbread…and people with epic and gingerbread were able to get it to run partly..
@gTen, I don’t think at&t would be able to handle that load anyway. Netflix uses alot of bandwidth and im glad that the sprint towers and cell sites in my area are fixed to where.i can stream it reliably on my arrive over 3G don’t know how this is gonna change now that the androids are gonna be on it.
I downloaded Netflix from the market and installed it on our store demo Evo 4G, installed AVG antivirus just to rip the .apk for Netflix and quickly uninstalled AVG after the app was backed up onto my SD card. I put the .apk on my desktop and transferred it to my HD2 that dual boot WP7/Android 2.3.3 and it works on my HD2 Android port flawlessly. Now I have Netflix from both sides. lol
@Mike G., but did you copy over the flangie with the flux capacitor, then just copy the flux capacitor while playing with the flangie?
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/ha5oh/root_how_to_edit_your_buildprop_to_make_netflix/ there is a “workaround” to get netflix to work on most phones
Works fantastic on my Sprint Nexus S 4G…
This is great! Did anyone try connecting their device to their TV? I connected my Evo to my HDTV via the mini HDMI cable but nothing..
That would be a big 10-4 roger dodger. Im rooted using the HDMI out app. works like a champ.
To get the hdmi out to work, you need to download the app called HDMWiN .. It is a custom app just for the EVO.
I had the Sprint Lovers rom installed, but it would not work with the kernal. The app suggested downloading and installing a custom kernal, and popped right in and downloaded and installed with rom manager.. did not lose ANYTHING.. and it works BEAUTIFUL.. I did the advanced settings and told it to goto max cpu and don’t turn off screen when mirroring the display as I will always be hooked to power when watching Netflix… it is working GREAT…
You need to be rooted tho as it needs superuser permissions.. no need for a Roku box when traveling!!!! I can use my EVO to stream all netflix to the hidef tv in my hotel room just outside of Baltimore in 4G… here 2-3 weeks a month.
Update your Droid X with Gingerbread from the earlier PPC Geeks article.
Netflix for Droid X
