1. Root is required. Make a Nandroid backup! (I accidentally deleted by build.prop file and bootlooped my phone)

2. Download ES File Explorer (Or any other root file editor)

3. In ES File Explorer, go into Setting > Root Settings and enable both check boxes

4. Navigate to /system/ and copy/paste build.prop to /sdcard/ (just in case)

5. Open & edit /system/build.prop

6. Change the following lines to make your phone think it is a HTC G2:

1. ro.product.model=HTC Vision
2. ro.product.brand=tmobile
3. ro.product.name=vision
4. ro.product.device=vision
5. ro.product.board=vision
6. ro.product.manufacturer=HTC

7. Reboot the phone

8. Install the netflix apk (if you haven

Got bored and figured i would give it a try. It's working great, thanks to everyone who figured this out. I love how every time people try to leave the ascend out of the party, the ascenders always find a way in.

 

[jimmy513]

Honestly, I have to say Ascend has to be one of the better phones in the market, because it appears easy to manipulate, lol.

And we have the best forum from what I can see of my few days here

 

[PlayfulGod]

yup I confirm the HTC Visions setting work!

Haha..but once we crash the party, we finish the keg, take all the hot chicks, and do burnouts on the front lawn lol.

 

[Piranha650]

I have my ascend working with HTC settings. I already watched a couple of t.v. shows an part of a movie.

 

[PlayfulGod]

Check on XDA too, I heard theres a no device check version avail.

 

[nuttmeg]

but you would have to have 3g or wifi going so it dont jump and skip right, pos metro 1x, lol

 

[PlayfulGod]

uh huh

 

[nuttmeg]

i figure that, lol well i have the wii for that, and i will just wait a bit longer until metro gets a good 4g android phone out... would have bought the indulge but been seeing alot of over heating problem...

 

[Lennatron]

Yep, here it is:

[APP]Official Netflix (new device check disabled) - xda-developers

 

[shawn34m]

I can get the app to open no prob but it always say wrong user name or password but i can log on to my ps3 or xbox360 netflix with that password...Then i changed the password and same problem...i tried both workarounds with the same results.

[Dsanders77]

Yep, here it is:

[APP]Official Netflix (new device check disabled) - xda-developers

And I can confirm it works like a charm.

 

[travioso]

I can confirm that the xda no device app works.. but i keep getting some weird audio pops.. even OC'ed to 710 on wifi with full signal and 1Mbps connection.. arrgh lol.. maybe im one of the unlucky ones.. gonna maybe try the OC kernel and bump higher up..

its not the oc its that 1Mbps connection lol.

 

[MoneyHoarder87]

1mbps, i get that on 3G. Where are you getting your WiFi?

 

[travioso]

Meant MBps.. 1000Kb I think.. Always get it confused lol. I'll speedtest.net to make sure when home.. Highest speed residential comcast in fl

Ok..
9.28 Mb/s down
2.06 Mb/s up

Can't seem to run the speedtest.net app from the market as it crashes once it gets to upstream test..

uh huh, but metro is mostly covered in my area all around...
