Hello Chris Martin,From where do you got this APK?Are you sure that this APP plays movies from Netflix Flawlessly?I am asking because,I tried all versions of Netflix, for Sony S and also for Other Android Tablets, without any success...

Hello E. Soon,What Netflix version are you currently using?Where you got this APK and how you could install it on your Samsung Galaxy 10.1?Please, would you describe the process for manually installing the Netflix APP? ...I ask because I tried all versions of Netflix with automatic installation, but did not know there was a way to manually install the Netflix application on the Tablet Sony S...

I have Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 and I manully installed Netflix app on it, and it works. I can watch video on it fine.

Yes this is indeed true but it is not a Tablet S issue as it is an issue with Netflix writing an app that runs on Honeycomb. At the moment Netflix is not available in the Android marketplace for ANY manufacturer's tablet running the latest Android OS (Honeycomb). Let's hope they get on the ball with this.

Chris Martin is wrong. I downloaded the apk of the latest version of Netflix and manually installed it. I can log in and browse and update my queue. But it fails to connect to the server when I try to stream anything. I presume this is some device check thing. But I don't think anyone has hacked this out of the latest version of the app since it works on all Froyo and Gingerbread devices.

Agree, this is not the fault of the Sony S Tablet, and it seems we'll have to wait for Netflix to release a working version for Hoynecomb!

Thanks AM for your reply!Agree, with all Netflix APP that I have installed, only can see the list of films and my query, but I had been unable to stream nothing and always gets the same error message!!

This model and mine run the same Droid OS. First, you must have an ACTIVE Netflix account to use it. Once the app is installed you still have to LOG IN with your information. I sideloaded (downloaded and installed the app through another app) the Netflix app onto mine. I think I got mine through GetJar which should already be on your tablet. Or try the Google e-reader app which has other apps in it. Once it has 'successfully' downloaded and installed it should work, IF you have an active Netflix account. Mine works perfectly on both my Kyros and Kindle Fire HD.

Sorry to split hairs, but the server issues are on Netflix's end. Netflix has had server issues since they upgraded the interface the first week of June (they've since stopped rolling it out to all users). It seems to only happen during prime viewing hours though. If you are having problems with services other than netflix and at odd hours I'd look for another problem, either with the roku box itself, your router, or your ISP. I haven't experienced problems with other services but I don't use Amazon on Demand. There may be a correlation between netflix and amazon as I read netflix migrated to Amazon's servers. Try some of the other channels to determine if it's a problem with anything else (nasa tv? pandora? etc). Netflix's engineers are struggling to find the correct content to display on their main screen without overloading the servers, it changes almost daily. I expect they'll get it resolved soon but it's been a bad couple weeks for them. For more information check rokulab's user forum: http://forums.rokulabs.com/viewforum.php?f=28

I personally stopped at 4.1.2 as 4.2 and up do not support the video play back needed for Netflix. Look up finlessbob rom and see what he has done as he is the foremost developer working with this device.

I have tried repeatedly to download Netflix 1.2.2, both on the pad itself and on my PC. I've had no luck whatsoever. If Anyone can provide me with a website that would allow me to download this, I would be extremely grateful.

Sorry, I don't use Netflix, so I can't help you. You might try the Sony support website, where you can find the full user guide.

I have no problem getting Netflix. It is the best device that I have used to get Netflix other than my pc and it is easier to use.

The Netflix app is available (free). I just streamed two movies over the weekend without any issues or buffering. The screen on this tablet is amazing.

This seems to be an ongoing problem with Sony. My older blu-ray (BDP-N460) had a lot of difficutly streaming NetFlix. And now with this player YouTube is hardly running. Sony tech support claims that it could be that the newer model does not have all of the updates like my older player does.

check to see if you have the latest android upgrade (mine upgraded this past weekend and works fine on Netflix. I know I was receiving messages related to video playback before then - but don't recall if those applied to Netflix.

Well nvm now every windows media center has netflix option pre-installed. Pretty cool but i guess they will not allow you to download movies for a temporary while :(

Back when I bought this tablet it was not recognized on Google App Market or Android Market so I wasn't able to download the Netflix App to this tablet, without the app Netflix won't work. So I would have to say NO.

the firmware update works and address's other issues as well. Problem is most people, Like Romona dont wait long enough to let the firmware update install properly, which messes everything up. Than they come on the msg boards and cry that it does not work. The process takes aprox 45mins. give the download time to complete, let the firmware install into the device and reboot on its own. It works perfectly just takes patients.Anyway the youtube feature is horrible, your better off using your pc and blockbuster is way over priced for what you get. netflix is definitly the way to go. the firmware update works and address's other issues as well.

Ok, that is my problem. I want the one that can connect to Netflix and is wireless. Is there such a thing out there? The prices are almost the same so I would like to get the best version. It is getting late, I have to buy. Please help..

Hi, I have the sony bdp-bx57. I have it all set up and it works great except for my netflix. When I go to netflix all I get is what is in my instant Que, other people tell me that they can search for the movies they want by category or title search or favorites or how ever they want. What do I need to do so I can see more than just what is in my instant Que. Any help will be appreciated, Rick

While i had mine I didn't use for movies. But to my understanding Netflix will not work. It was an awesome tablet otherwise. Hope this helped.
