[mcclain71]

Are you running stagefright? Some people say that can cause the green bar at the top.

i have no idea

will this remedy the green bars on the top?

According to scootincivic, the green bar is due to HD correction. If the video plays in standard definition the bar in theory shouldn't show up.

Thanks for this! I was still hesitant to root my phone, although if it got Netflix to stream, I might have been willing to give it a go.

Now I don't have to. Just installed the device check disabled version (downloaded it on my pc to dropbox, then just installed it from there onto my phone), started the app, logged in, and immediately started streaming the Doctor Who ep "Blink" (LOVE those Weeping Angels! ).

Works great! Yeah, I'm seeing a narrow green bar across the top (if anyone finds a fix for that, please advise), but it's sure not a deal breaker!

Sweet! I've got a list of instant viewing choices a mile long that I'm the only one who wants to see, now I can check them out at lunchtime!

Thanks again for a solution that works for non-rooted phones. I was SO disappointed to find that the newly released official Netflix app did NOT work with the Optimus V, and now I'm a happy camper again!

I downloaded the one from the xda website, but when I go to log-in from my optimus v, it says wrong password. Oh, and I am trying to login over the 3g connection

Addams Family now on Netflix, colors don't matter now!

 

[JerryScript]

The only current fix for the green bar is to use the aospCM7 ROM, I recommend the 4/27 build for now, the 5/16 one is not necessary and has a couple of bugs.

Hopefully some devs will figure out a way to fix it on other ROMs, maybe even the stock one.

My Optimus V is stock, Downloaded the "device check disabled" apk from xda above, and the netflix app force closes immediately whenever it is run. Is anyone not suffering this problem? Did the "mod-2" fix it?

Ok, the "mod-2" did let the app run, but it won't stream just as the xda threat says it won't. "Sorry we could not reach the Netflix service. Please try again later. If the problem persists please visit netflix.com. (1005)"

 

[tcklord]

I have aospCM7 and netflix runs great on it! It even streams when I have crappy 1 bar of service at work.

 

[roym6]

Anybody having the colors seem weird like if it was in 3d usind the xda one

I'm not sure why you are having this issue, I installed and off I went streaming movies.

Thanks for posting this. The little green bar at the top isn't a big deal compared to no Netflix. Worked great using Dropbox to install.

 

[StanO360]

doesnt work for me...and i followed the instructions, and even triple checked them

edit: download the app from android market and it works! although i do have a nasty green bar on the top of the screen now, and the color is off (kinda like watching a 3d movie without the glasses). anyone else with this issue?

I've got that too, I'm running the hacked APK not a rooted phone. Hopefully they will release a general distribution app.

Mine was very memory sensitive, it won't install or run without free memory. Of course that's never a problem on the Optimus . . . note dripping sarcasm!

 

[LoneSnark]

Turns out that was it. I uninstalled a slew of apps and sure enough, the "device check disabled" version works like a charm, accepting the green line everyone else is experiencing.

 

[mugwump]

Due to the size of the installed app and the fact that I don't plan to use it much I'm just leaving the APK file on the SD card, installing it when needed, then uninstalling it when done. Saves a bit of space and doesn't take long to get up and running. And I get the green line with funky colors as well.

 

[stiingya]

Thanks for the info and links!!!

I get the green line too, but still nice to have...

 

[nightspd]

Any fix for the green line and funky colors?

 

[JerryScript]

The only current fix for the green line is to use the asopCM7 ROM.

And since I don't know exactly what that is (it sounds "root"y, lol, and while I'm a big tinkerer when it comes to my PC, still trying to avoid that until my phone isn't quite so new), I'm guessing the wise thing would be to just live with the green line for now? Especially I barely even notice it while I'm watching something?

I downloaded an apk from the xda developers forum which has disabled device checking, and it works on my lg optimus v. I didn't get the link, sorry, but a quick search will find it for you. And I'm not rooted either. Heeeeheeeeheeee, I'm just giddy now!
Oh, make sure you have room for it, file size is about 20mb, but you can move it to sd after install.
