Netflix App

---

Well this is something that is rather depressing as I have yet to get the app to work on our beloved Sidekick 4G. I have tried many of the popular fixes such as changing the build.prop file to Nexus S and HTC Vision, but alas nothing has worked. Anyone else care to try it out?

I've been working on this from a post on Reddit:

http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comm..._make_netflix/

it does work on the sidekick 4g, you need to root your phone. I downloaded the apk when it was leaked earlier this week and have been using it on my rooted sk4g ever since

Try editing your build.prop file in the system directory. You need to be rooted though.

Change the SGH-T839's To Nexus S
then save and restart.
your build.prop should look like this.

I just double and triple checked. My file matches but I am still not able to get into netflix.

any ideas?

So just rooting wont allow you to get the app?

nah rooting wont help you just get the app and i adjusted my build.prop just as above and it still isn't taking... oh wells hopefully soon Netflix will please the masses and just release it for all of us to use :)

Just out of curiousity have you guys tried the apk that does not do the device check, as mentioned in this post

Netflix Device Check Disabled

I do not have the SK4G but have been considering it but I came across this and it works great for my 3G Slide so I thought it was at least possible for the SK4G.

Just tried the netflix APK with device check disabled.
It crashes to the homescreen when you try and login.

The 3rd link netflix-mod-2.apk just below the device check disabled looks like it is supposed to handle that issue and still have the device check disabled. It may be worth trying that one as well.

You beat me to it...
