Hey people..
I'm a new owner of a Qtek S200, and Im considering using it as my MP3 player instead of my old one..
Im just curious about how much battery is drained by this? How the quallity is? And how fast I can transfer music from my stationary comp to a SD card in the device if I invest in such..?
Thanks a lot..
I use mine as an mp3 player all the time, I even sold my ipod for that. It doesnt use much battery; cant tell you any exact measures but I really didnt notice that it drains tha battery that much, some times I sleep while it is on and wake up that is about 5 hours and the battery bar looses one or two bars (spb plus battery bar)......quality is very good for me, i didnt notice any difference between it and the ipod in normal conditions...how fast u can transfere music, well it is slow for me!! overall tranfering files to this device seems slow, but I can live with it, as I dont transfere files everyday.
Hope that helps

You should transfer your music via MediaPlayer's sync option.

Didn't try, but don't think so. AFAIK speed is limited by PDA/USB hardware and not software. The only way to get faster transfers is to use a SD/USB card reader to connect the SD card directly to the USB port of the PC.
I have one, but I usually don't bother to take the card out of the prophet. Transfers are not lightning-fast, but I can live with this. I am seldom in a hurry to transfer files.
If you want to transfer files from a PC that doesn't have active sync, you can install WM5torage to emulate a USB key.
I use WM2003 & CE2 really speeds up the file transfer, so WM5torage must be having the same effect for WM5 & Mortplayer makes your device an excellent MP3 player (TCPMP will do it for video content),

Wifi
You can also transfer files over the Wifi(g) network if you have one. It is still slower than using a proper SD card reader though.
Comparison:
SD card reader (USB2) - 480Mbps max (60 megabytes per second)
Wi-fi (g) - 56Mbps max (7 megabytes per second)
Sync cable (USB1.1) - 12Mbps max (1.5 megabytes per seconds)
Wi-fi (b) - 11Mbps max (~1.3 megabytes per second)
Bluetooth - 1Mbps max (~0.1 megabytes per second)
Hi,
Just looking for some advice on a problem with my HD2. Am having significant problems with the bluetooth, which I suspect may be caused by a fault in the phone.
Bluetooth works, but the speed of file transfers is incredibly slow. Have performed different tests, using different PC's, and different ROM's with essentially the same results.
Bluetooth file transfer speed varies, depending on the device it is connected, between 7-60 KB/s, and fluctuating wildly. The same test using a Nokia phone and same PC's yielded file transfer speeds between 90-110 KB/s. This slow performance seems to degrade the clarity of sound when using a bluetooth headset (Nokia BT-214).
I have used the latest standard HTC ROM, and the latest of Dutty's ROM's, and both produce essentially the same result. I have read that there are some problems arising out of the Widcomm stack, not working as well as the MS one, but have seen no posts indicating anyone having as significant problems as I am having.
Advice please.
I just tried and with some little tweaks from "HD2 tweaks 1.3" program, I have a sustained 110 to 120 KB/s. You can try that
Thanks for the reply, and help attempt. I tried this, and unfortunately it did not make any improvement, still very slow.
I get 90-120kB/s too, without any particular tweak.
What would be interesting to know is whether you have a particularly active WLAN in the area, wireless security cams or such around you...
As an example, if I start a BT transfer ftom the PC to the phone via BT, and then start transferring a big file from my laptop to my PC via WLAN, transfer speeds on BT will fall to 40kB/s or so.
Thanks for your thoughts on this. Just tried a file transfer with WiFi both enabled and disabled, produced exactly the same in terms of file transfer speed: 50 KB/s.
This is incredibly frustrating. I have sent a message to HTC asking them if they think it a phone fault or not, and am awaiting a reply.
Hi,
I have been trying to watch videos streamed from my PC to my tablet but so far I have had little success...
I am using MX Player Pro to watch videos and ES Explorer to access my PC contents. I have no problems with opening any files including videos and streaming of small files (~300MB movies) works perfectly. The problem is - I would like to watch my Blu-Ray and DVD rips, which are 10GB +. Alas, in this case, it buffers 1 second of movie per 20 seconds in real life. It is unwatchable.
So, the question is - how I could I speed it up? The signal is full (I run the tests with PC and Nexus next to my router, Netgear), the PC has all other connections turned off (mail/browser, antivirus updates etc. all turned off) though it shows the connection speed of only ~80-120Mbps. I guess I am lacking ideas...
Thank you for help,
Theriel

Are your computer connected through wireless? If streaming BR movies you need a lot of bandwith which maybe you won't get if you have a bad wifi connection.

Have you tried VLC player? Don't know if it will help with your problem. I'll be getting my N10 tonight, so I'll be checking on that aspect of it for sure.
Has anyone used the Limelight app? I've got my PC which is wired into a Airport Extreme and then of course the Nexus Player is connected over N my router doesn't do AC. If I do the Nvidia Utility to optimize games and then run at 720p everything runs perfect but if I up it to 1080p it lags not really bad but bad enough that it annoys you. I know it is not the PC because it can run with everything maxed out no problem. I'm assuming it is a bandwidth issue getting to the nexus player. Would it be best to maybe get a USB ethernet adapter or a AC router. I have no problem running the ethernet cable actually already have one ran for my Roku 3.

mine operates 1080p fine
the only problem I have is sometimes when I load a game directly it is black screen, so I just load it through the steam dashboard.
Streaming from the nvidia tools, the picture is not great but I believe it's due to compression and not resolution. Also there's a bit of input lag, which appears to be due to streaming and not input communication (near instant response on the broadcasting PC).
Gave it my first shot tonight.
I'm using the Nexus Player over LAN via USB OTG and a StarTech (see: cheap-ass) USB 2.0 HUB. I set connection to 1080p 60FPS, and 100MB connection. I'm using a Netgear R6250 AC router. I was able to play Steam Big Picture without any noticeable input lag. I tested several different games: BioShock Infinite (the final checkpoint to the ending), Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky (much higher than 60FPS), Final Fantasy XIII (about 1 hour of gameplay), and Brutal Legend (played about 20 minutes of gameplay, hated it). The main point is: I was taken back. I didn't expect this to work so well, and I don't regret my Nexus Player purchase anymore, even if Google were to abandon the project as it stands now (lets be real, this project needs a lot of work).
If there's anything else you'd like to know, I'd be happy to provide the information. Oh, while I'm mentioning what I played, I'm running a fairly decent rig, an i5 4670k, with 8GB Corsiar RAM, and an EVGA GeForce 660Ti. Nothing is currently overclocked.

What controller did you use? And was there any issue with button mapping?

Hmm sounds like it must be a bandwidth issue for me since the Nexus Player is using wireless N and the host is wired. Time to buy a adapter and get a wired connection. Just for curiosity can you try using your AC wireless and see the performance please.

I would think in the case of streaming, it would always be better to try to go LAN. I know it's certainly possible to not use WiFi, as I also own an Nvidia Shield Tablet and I play remotely every day (Wifi N,) but certainly preferable to be hard-wired in whenever possible. The Nexus Player automatically switches to LAN when it's connected and settings become available once plugged in. A shame so many things are needed to make that happen though.
I would like to play Grim Fandango Remastered on NP, is it possible via Limelight?
http://grimremastered.com/
Already run an Asus AC68u router (before owning the NP) so I've been playing limelight over ac WiFi. I also have a gtx660ti in my gaming computer. Extremely impressed by nvidia and the folks at limelight who REd the game stream protocol. Truly great experience for me, but I'm not an fps multiplayer fanatic. I just like playing campaign, adventure, hack n slash games on the big screen. My input lag and decode lag was 9ms. I honestly don't know if that's good or bad but it's the numbers I remember from playing Arkham Origins last night. I don't notice any performance hit with that lag. Everything feels real time to me, but I'm probably not very sensitive to that like some real avid gamers may be. Never tried Lan
Everything in my stream library has worked so far. I use the dual shock controller with the sixaxis apk (sideloaded). That screws up the remote but I use my tv remote through HDMI cec anyway, along with the ds3 controller I don't miss the standard controller. The sixaxis apk has a nifty trick that has helped me a few times. In preferences you can toggle "mouse" support with any button. I choose the PS-power button on the ds3. I can't recall which but one of my stream games just sits there asking me to press start, and I can toggle the mouse mode to press it. Most games that ask that (even without game pad support) usually go straight to the game as if limelight is helping you along by providing the start click or something
No problems with Limelght stremaing on mine.. 1080p/60fps, over ac wifi using an AC68u router. I've tested it with about a dozen games at this point, most only briefly.
Latency reported varied from 6 to 10ms, with the median probably falling about 9ms. Feel wise, it was barely perceptible, and didn't have any effect on gameplay in any games tested. I did not test with any shooters, other than Defiance, which is toward the slow end anyway as shooters go. I probably ran about 1hr of Guild Wars 2 through it without any problems - no disconnecting, crashing ,or other wonkyness. Once or twice I'd notice compression artifacts but they would clear up in under about 1/4th of a second.
On the gamepad side of things, I played Assassin's Creed: Black Flag a bit, using a 360 wireless gamepad and the MS usb receiver for it. Here's an interesting tidbit - the game popped into gamepad mode, even though there wasn't a gamepad hooked up to the PC itself.
The gamepad mappings were correct/all buttons worked the same within the game as they do when the gamepad is hooked directly to the PC. I'm not 100% sure that's an out of the box thing though, because I have been messing with the keymap file for the 360 controller to get it's d-pad working in general. I'll have to do a little more testing in that respect when I get a chance.
Overall the experience was great though, and really opens up some interesting possibilities.
I wish my Limelight would work but i think its a problem with my PC and Nvidia Experience sins i cant even get the program to open on my PC, just errors every time i try top open Nvidia Experience, and i tried to connect to my PC from the app and i got prompted with a box to enter the pin and managed to start a game from steam but it didnt work so good, the game started but suddenly i lost the ability to stear and the app kicked me and it takes 10 tried to get it to start just to play 1 minute...
So i tried Splashtop THD and Splashtop 2 but those where unuseable sins the screen was all green and flickery so i have to settle with Kainy HD that works fairly good...

Which nvidia GPU are you running?
I remember hearing about something similar called kino console but I've never tried it

well damn, that worked a lot better, might even pay the ~10$ sins it worked way better than my ~20$+ Splashtop THD.
i got a 970 GTX so should be no problem, but my Nvidia Experience wont even start and seems just buggy as hell, so Kino was a good alternative, low latency and smooth gameplay with the default remote.
Too bad. My 660 does great with limelight. Did you enable gamestream and tell it where to scan your game libraries?
It can also work well just staying inside steam, but on your steam-server you need to go to big picture mode and enable hardware accelerated encoding. HW decoding was enabled by default I believe, but encoding was not. Without it steam IHS will suck through steam and consequently through limelight

ah, yes, the streaming was enabled and last time i used it i managed to laung borderlands but it soon stoped working and i allways have connection issues and gets disconnected soon after i connect.
the hardware encoding was not tho..., gonna give it one more go with it enabled when my kid goes to bed tonight, cheers again,

I never knew this was an option . i shall be testing this too thanks
might explain why sometimes i a SLOW ENCODE message on the bottom left , im not using limelight however i have another pc i was just curious about limelight so took a gander in here , glad i did!
EDIT: Seems to be working just fine now. Getting sustained 80mbps across my network for playback, no issues. In the settings, I migrated everything to the SD card, but I think Kodi (and thus Plex temp files) are still on the internal storage. Maybe this fixed it, who knows.
I'm having trouble getting 4k video to play back continuously without pausing and skipping. I occasionally get the message that the source is too slow. Here is a quick overview of my setup.
- Media is on an UNRAID server running plex. It's an AMD A6-3500, 8GB memory, 3x 4TB WD Red (1 parity).
- UNRAID server is connected by ethernet to my Asus RT-AC87U. My shield was connected on 5g, but I ran a temp ethernet cable and still see the issue.
- Kodi 17 is running on my Shield TV using the PlexKodiConnect plugin. Video playback is direct play, no transcoding (verified in Plex).
I'm not sure where the trouble lies and exactly where to work.
I did test by using SolidExplorer to copy the 4k file to the device to see what rates I get. Speeds are about 6-8MB/s but its very inconsistent and drops below 1MB/s often. I'm not sure if this is a good test to go by or not. Is the Shield capable of streaming and playing 4k over a network? Or is the hardware not fast enough to do this?
