[Q] youtube. video issues.

Ok so lately my internet stops working...and i have to turn off my wifi and turn it back on so it works again...i dont know if its youtube. But most video take fo evaaa to load and load slow when they start playing....is it just me. Or is it cause acer needs updates or is it honeycomb ....someone give me some input. Thanks....i dig this tablet but dam its annoyin now.. and i do have latest update...by the way

I am also having issues with Youtube streams. I've confirmed the same videos play fine on my laptop so I know it's not the video or my connection. It's impossible to watch a youtube video in HD on my tablet.

Just started having the same issue today, but I did switch from using intel's my wifi tech in my netbook to a netgear wifi router, so I'm guessing that's my issue.

best tethering app for nexus 7??

theres so many tethering apps?? any of u guys have a preference of which ones u like? i need to get one to tether my nexus 7 off my tmobil sgs3.
i was thinking about
Wifi Hotspot & USB Tether Pro
wifi tethering by open garden
easy tether lite
so many choices...what do u guys like???
ty

FoxFi been good to me as a hotspot when i need one dont know if works well on the s3 since i have the s2

I'll be using FoxFi on my Desire for Bluetooth tethering (instead of WiFi Hotspot to save battery). And then PDANet on the Nexus 7 to pair to the phone's Bluetooth.
I haven't done this yet but this is how I believe it works from what I've read.

bump plz

I used foxfi to do Bluetooth tethering from my Droid Bionic. Required no other apps on my Nexus 7, and seems to work great. I have no clue if Verizon can tell I am doing this. I don't plan on using it much at all though, just occasionally while I travel.

Setting up either WiFi tether, or bluetooth tether on my G2x. Works great!

Using my droid incredible 2 and foxfi and PDA net with Bluetooth tether but some apps don't work why is this for example Netflix and gmail don't work they say they cannot find a network connection same wit the play store why is this?

Yeah, just started playing with this yesterday and hit the same wall. Interestingly chrome works great when I have the connection setup this way but nothing else will see the connection, not gmail, now or any other app. To heck with the battery life, I have a monster battery on my Infuse now, tried wifi tether but my Nexus won't even see it. =/ Will keep messing with it though and see if I can come up with anything.

Gmail, Play and a lot of other apps seem to work without any issues through bluetooth tethering.
BBC News app thinks there's no internet connection though, so that's one app I can't use.
Loading web-view of an article in gReader Pro informs me there's no internet connection but loads the web page just fine in dolphin browser after clicking on OK.

The Nexus 7 can be configured to do USB tethering natively

i keep getting force close on foxfi had to uninstall

If you're using the free version it has a time limit of 30 minutes, after which you need to restart it.

[Q] MK809 with 3G dongle and wifi tethering?

I have tried to search for an answer to this with no real success. I believe that it is possible to connect a USB 3G dongle such as Huawei E1750 to an MK809 such as Justop K9. Hopefully someone will be able to confirm that? Then I would like to know if it is possible to then share that 3G connection via wifi tethering to other devices.
Basically I'm trying to combine 3G modem and wifi router into a hdmi stick/dongle. If anyone has tried this I would be interested to hear their experience. If it is someting that is really not practical then I more than likely will give it a miss. I would need to use this as my "main" internet connection, although I wouldn't consider myself a "power user" I do stream youtube and online such as BBC iPlayer. I have had good experience with wifi tethering using my old HTC HD2 (flashed with android 4.0) and can get 4Mb connection speeds which allows me to stream no problem.
If this works well I would then be connecting a usb hard drive and using webdav server app to share the contents to my other devices.
I would appreciate any guidance! :good:
P.S. I notice that I'm not supposed to post questions in here, but I can see a few questions already within this section and it seems like the best place for this question to me. Mods, please move it if you need to.

I think it could be done as long as the router has a connection but just a bit of info, I watch YouTube quite a bit maybe 4-5 20/30min vids a day and in the past 7 days YouTube has used probably 12gig of data. Since everything is HD. I know a lot of dongles have data limits. IPlayer doesn't work great these devices for now you have to use the flash version and its a little buggy. Its best to get it from xbmc add on.
Oh and the 808 doesn't have tether not sure about the 809

Thanks for the reply.
It's a virgin media contract I'm looking at. Supposedly truly unlimited according to vm themselves and can be used to tether. I got my dad one and he uses it to tether his laptop and ubisurfer when away. It works very well when I've tried it myself.
Thanks for the tip about tethering on 808. I imagine this is just a software limitation? It was possibly never considered when the rom was built. I think there are Google play apps that will enable this on phones that didn't have it as an original option. I'm hoping it will work in a similar way.
Xbmc will be on my list. I assume it's possible to side load flash onto these things.

Can't answer your 3g question but just bought the mk809 justop k9 and it comes pre installed with flash. Have xbmc installed and it works brilliantly with streaming from my server, an app called tvcatchup and all the usual on demand add ons.

yes that would be interesting. I know that a lot of usb devices are supported. tried a webcam on it. Works perfect in combination with skype. for wath I read. its also possible to use a usb to lan adapter. maybe an option for the poor reception.
but a 3g dongle. got to see that.

Thanks for that. It is nice to hear a positive review about the Justop K9 as I was considering one anyway. This project might just save me some money having to buy other equipment. Would you be able to try whether you can install one of the free non root wifi tether apps from the play store? Obviously there would be no internet connection, but if you can establish a wifi hotspot and connect a phone to it then it's a good sign.
As for the USB to ethernet, I have a couple of those connectors spare. I'm aware you can use them on various android devices to give them an internet connection, but I don't know whether the reverse is true? Is it possible to share a 3G connection to the USB, and via the ethernet connection to a separate wifi router for instance? I can't find a good answer to that. I'm gonna have a play with my TF700 and see what I can accomplish!
Regards,
John

No need to install an app, android 4 onwards supports wifi tethering natively. Just needed to go into the 'more' menu and set up from there. Managed to connect easily with my Sony Tablet but, as you say, couldn't browse as the stick wifi was being used to tether.
Spoke too soon on the on demand stuff, seems itv player, 4od and 5od have been messing around with their encryption so the xbmc add ons have stopped working, I'm sure the devs are working on it. Iplayer add on still works and there is a work around using firefox anyway.
Can't help with your other query I'm afraid, sorry.

Tmobile Unlimited Video streaming... But to a TV screen?

So i love the fact that tmobile is now offering unlimited video streaming from 20 some odd suppliers of video content. However, I'm not one to watch videos on my phone much. I want to use the "optimized" data speeds of tmobile to stream videos to through my phone and tmobile network, but to my TV. Why? Because my home internet sucks, i'm renting and... long story.
I know the nexus 6p doesn't have HDMI out, as that would be the perfect option, can anyone else think of anything that would solve this for me?

Depending on how he does it, he will have to use tethering, and tmobile is not allowing unlimited streaming with these video services through hotspot.
With that said, I believe you can mirror your screen through Chromecast without it using hotspot data. Some apps have an audio delay and other visual glitches doing this though. Netflix and YouTube are what I do this with often, and they both work flawlessly. Another caveat to doing this is you have to leave your phones screen on. This will tear through your battery and make your phone quite hot. It pretty much has to stay plugged in.

I don't see where that the "chromecast" reply went, maybe deleted. But chromecast uses wifi to draw the video stream from netflix (for example) once i perform the phoen to chromi handshake. But ya i did consider the mirror. too

Yeah. The Nexus 6P sadly does NOT have the capability to output HDMI.

I'm assuming since he wants to use his new unlimited streaming data, he doesn't have wifi available. So it would use his phones tether data.

there's some weird information in here so hopefully i can help summarize some of the things that have been posted.
T-Mobile will forgive certain streaming services against your data plan.
The data forgiveness does not apply to tethering/hotspot connections.
Utilizing Chromecast as a streaming source (instead of mirroring your device) will require a WiFi connection. As stated above, this bypasses the forgiveness by utilizing the tethering/hotspot of your device.
The N6P does NOT have an HDMI out but can have miracast enabled and/or utilize screen mirroring through Chromecast.
Many streaming applications prevent Chromecast/Screen Mirroring from your device.
OP, the short answer here is that you're limited to your phone, unless you're willing to work for another solution. If you're looking for a solution while you're traveling, I would look in to buying a cheap "travel" router that allows you to authenticate to hotel WiFi and still use CC.

I have same issue like this. The only thing is I don't use a Chromecast. I hook up my TV with LAN (Old Sony Bravia) to my router and my phone to same routers WiFi. So I am able to share and connect with TV. No issues. I have a crappy wired internet connected to it. I also have unlimited 4G plan on my phone. I use AllConnect to cast from my Phone to TV. Now I am able to cast Movie HD app via AllConnect on my TV. But as soon as I disconnect the wired internet from my router. I am not able to cast. I want to use my Phones 4G internet to stream on my TV. Theoretically it should be possible to cast using my routers LAN which I am able to. But as soon as I disconnect DSL cable from my router the streaming stops. Can anyone help me here.
