I heard the slingbox doesnt lag at all if you are on dcd 2.2.0, but i got a quick question about the remote? I have yet to get my slingbox its in the mail but i was wondering this.....Ive read around and searched that i need to download a certain bin file for IR to be able to communicate with my satellite box. Now heres the question, once i have my slingbox... i plan on loading up the slingbox ppc software and streaming via my ppc. Will all the remote functions appear in the ppc applications(since i loaded that bin to the actual singbox) or do i need to install a remote file on my mogul also?
I am using slingbox on my mogul. The ppc software takes settings from the desktop version. You will need to load a special bin into your slingbox subdirectory. The bin file I have doesn't give full functionality but gives enough for most common tasks. No Red Green Blue or yellow function keys but guide and single number key entry works. There is software to modify the bin but I have found it is very usable in its present form. Hope this helps you on your quest.
do you use it on a satellite box? if so what kind

FYI, My slingbox still works like crap, even on the new rom. It works, but not great. Sound still lags, and picture still choppy, even with a strong signal on my Mogul.
It is what it is......., I guess they will never fix it,
thats weird i hear some people sayng it works great, then some people say it sux,
what rom are you on?

Well, I just went and checked, and it looks like I am on dcd 2.1.0, not the 2.2.0.
I will have to flash the 2.2.0, and then re-check. I just don't have much faith it will fix it though.
I bought my slingbox, and the mogul, the same week, after seeing the htc6700 and the slingbox work perfectly. I never expected a newer phone, to be a downgrade.
I just keep hoping that it will all get sorted out, but it has been months, and I do not see much talk about it.
The whole thing(mogul & slingbox) has been a really huge disappointment for me. However, the slingbox works great slinging TV to my desktop computer, from the front room.
unless htc fixed the video codec/directdraw files no rom is going to fix the problems with slingbox. the same problems still exist no mater what rom you run.

Yea, that is pretty much what I have read as well. That's why I have little hope for it. Still, I am flashing the new dcd 2.2.1 rom now, just for the fun of it.
Slingbox
i love mine never had a problem with it even before i updated to the new rom..
Mine works great
I have direct tv (diret tv HD-DVR) and slingbox classic. I just install the slingbox application each time I upgrade and I have no issues. Don't need to install any ir cab file that you are talking about either? Mine works perfectly from base install off slingmedia website from my phone and everything is very smooth. I'm on DCD's latest 2.2.3.

Mine works perfectly!
I am using my mogul (3.26 rom) with my slingbox classic connected to dish network and I have no problems. When I am in EV coverage or use wifi I get an absolutley perfect picture. No lag and very few studders (less that 1 per 5 minutes). In 1x coverage it is viewable, although a little grainy. When I am traveling I often put on history channel or espn in audio only mode and I seldom have a drop, even in the boonies.
Due to the fact that it works well for MANY users, I think most peoples problems are due to upload speed on their home network. I get about 700k up. A friend of mine with an identical setup but only around 200k up often has a much poorer picture and lots of studdering.
BTW, I was using 2.09 until 3.16 came out and it worked just as well.
Jim
I too agree it may be an upload issue. I have comcast. When I was with T-Mobile even with their 2.5G EDGE service my slingbox was slinging fine. However with Sprint and their Rev. 0 and A, my slingbox attempts to fill the bandwidth which is way more than my comcast upload of 350K. I hope comcast isn't throttling it down.
It always streams perfectly for like the first 10 mins then all of a sudden framerate and buffering go into overdrive.
Also, another reason I suspect its my home upload is also because I stream internet TV and youtube videos and have never experienced buffering on the sprint network.
Oh! Well!
You will have to download the ppc software directly to y ou main memory. You do have to purchase the registration key. Not right away, but in 30 days. Sucks but worth it.
Kaiser Video Driver Bounty - ~$6930.78 Raised As Of Jan26

To: HTC Corporation
To whom it may concern,
The lack of ATI Imageon hardware driver support and the 7200 chipset driver support on the TYTN II is obvious. The TYTN II, which claims to be superior to most all current devices on the market, is lacking serious driver and hardware support when it comes to Video playback. In fact, anything that has to do with Direct Draw, Direct X and any fluid movement of pixels on the screen seems behave in an unacceptably slow manner.
Even the camera application that comes with the device slows down to such a slow frame rate that photos are not able to be captured, and cause videos to record and render slower than a sideshow. Videos captured from a third party source render faster on devices over 3 years older using slower technology.
There are many TYTN II owners experiencing the same exact results that have been briefly explained above. The lack of speed in rendering video or 3D content on the TYTN II seems to be a direct result of poorly coded and even missing driver support. If HTC is unable or unwilling to resolve this issue, please prove a full fledge SDK release so that phone owners can repair what HTC was unwilling or unable to do.
Thank You,
All TytnII/ATT Tilt/T Mobile MDA Vario III owners.
Sorry for the delay in posting....I have a sonicview sv8000. Using mogul I have zero problems that others state. Also am using slingbox hd adapter. Love the unlimited data plan (sero) on sprint and my slingbox. Very watchable and no lag.
Hi all... Purchased my Iconia about a week ago and am generally pleased with it. I have been having an issue, and after scouring the interwebs I haven't been able to find a solution.
My sister also has the Iconia, and yesterday we attempted to initiate video chat sessions with both Gtalk and Fring. Video works fine on both programs and on both tablets, but on her Iconia, strange audio distortions are coming through. Sometimes we can hear what sounds like music, which would lead me to believe that it may be some kind of interference.
We've tried chatting when I'm at home and she's at her place and both on her network. Also we have both tried starting the sessions . Always the sounds are on her tablet. We haven't tried it yet where we are on a completely different network(s).
What can we do to troubleshoot the problem? We both purchased from BB and still have some time to exchange if it is a hardware issue, but I would like to make sure that it isn't some kind of interference or software issue first.
BTW we both live in Philadelphia... I live blocks away from a TV station which furthers my suspicion that it may be interference. Thanks for the help
It's not interference, it's the Iconia
Tried video calls between our Tab and my PC, and between the Tab and my phone. Sound is just screwed up for VOIP and video calls. Acer needs to fix it in a software update.
Thanks MaddMatt. I'm going to stick it out with the Iconia... I think that most of the bugs will get fixed in upcoming updates. But I think my sister is going to exchange for the Flyer.

Hi all,
After many reviews and considerations, I upgraded from my Iphone 4 and decided to got with the S4.
Everything's been working great, except the fact that I previously used to stream all my music from my Iphone 4 (using Spotify) to my Car Audio (Volkswagen RCD510) including track info etc and it worked great. Imagine my suprise when I hooked up the S4 and realize that it's not showing the track info?! First I thought I'd done something wrong (happened once before on the Iphone too), so I looked and looked through all the settings, but everything was ok. It just kept showing the random "BT-Audio" message all the time.
When I started reading online, I come to 2 different conlusions:
1. I've seen on the Spotify forums that people are demanding the very same thing and it's on their "wishlist" for future upgrades. I can't doublecheck this as no app is transferring the info currently. On the Iphone, Youtube, Itunes, Spotify, all tranferred the track info.
2. From what I've been reading, the phone needs to support AVCRP v1.3 to fully transfer all the info, including track / artist etc. Correct? Does the S4 support v1.3 by default or does this need to be altered with a custom ROM like on some other devices?
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks.
All the best,
Marthax
Try the original music player from samsung. I got the information transmited to a bluetooth receiver ( sonyericsson mw600). Android supported from the age of gingerbread.

That made the track info appear, but the time is missing. Are you getting the time displayed?
Found this thread which solved my problem :victory:!
Metadata is now working. The only thing left is the time elapsed / remaining, but I can live with that until Spotify releases their own official fix.
Hi fellow xda'ers
I got the 4.3 OTA today for my Nexus 4 and the problem of stuttering bluetooth audio persists for me.
This is in reference to the bug described here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39633
I also unpaired my phone and re-paired it but still facing the same problem.
So, just wanted to ask around...
1. Is anyone still facing this same bluetooth audio bug like me in Android 4.3?
2. Can anyone who had this bug in 4.2.2 confirm that it got resolved for them in Android 4.3?
Thanks..

I am using my phone with a Clarion car stereo.
The issue now is much rarer than it was before.
I guess I need to test it out for a few more days.
Thanks..
Worked fine for me in 4.2.2 .... now in 4.3 LOTS of stutter and occasional drops. Very annoying and probably related to the change of Bluetooth in 4.3 ... hope someone comes up with a fix, otherwise I'll need to go back to 4.2.2 as I use Bluetooth for music lots. Anyone that can help ... ??
I was excited to see that as soon as I upgraded from 4.2.2 to 4.3 my bluetooth streaming worked flawlessly in my car for a 2 hour drive into the mountains. However, a couple days later the stuttering came back, just as you described.
This was the one thing I was looking forward to for 4.3 but it looks like we've been let down.

Odd, I also have a Clarion stereo. I'll be curious to try it out in another car with a different brand of stereo to see if it may just be that our phones don't play well with Clarion...
I've never had issues...I have a Sony stereo and I also play in my buddies new toyota truck and plays fine. I would try on other devices..my guess would be your problem is with the stereo than the phone

I'm not really sure, what's happening.
I tried earlier on with Poweramp Player (third party app) and Google Play Music, I had stuttering in both the apps.
Then I decided to unpair the phone/stereo, change the phone name and then re-pair. Just wanted a fresh start..
After that, I had the stuttering problem whenever I used Poweramp player. The problem happens within 5-7 min. However, when I use Google Play Music, it seems to work fine. However, I haven't tested it for long. Maybe 1 hour max, so can't say if my hypothesis is correct but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. After 7 months with this phone, I really need to get Bluetooth working.

I'm in the same boat. But I really am wondering if looking at the software/apps used is the wrong method. I've been doing the same thing. Over the past 7 months I've tried various ROMs, kernels, radios etc. and nothing changes it. I've talked about it with various friends with Nexus 4's and none of them seem to have any issues.
At this point my money is on the Clarion stereo being the issue but I still have not tested the phone with another stereo. This weekend we are visiting my parents. I will try using the phone with the bluetooth on my Mom's 2013 4Runner and my Dad's 2010 F150 to see if I can replicate the problem. If it works with both their cars then I will be in the market for a new stereo. :laugh:

At the same time have you checked the reverse? Any other phones that work fine with your stereo?
I have and I can say all other phones have worked fine with my Clarion stereo.
If N4 continues to have problems with the Clarion stereo, it could be easier for me to sell the N4 and get another phone, unfortunately a non-Nexus one

It seems the problem is with our Clarion car stereo indeed. A lot of Clarion stereos have bluetooth issues:
http://www.fixya.com/support/t12082313-bluetooth_audio_streaming_breaks_up
http://community.crutchfield.com/car_audio_and_video/f/27/receivers/t/22006/clarion-cx501-bluetooth
Phones like iPhone 4, Lumia 920 and Moto Razr also seem to have these problems.
My stereo CX501 doesn't have any bluetooth firmware upgrade too. Though, they have provided some firmware update for some other stereos like NX501 and so on. So you should check out on their site for a firmware upgrade.
http://www.clarion.com/us/en/support/compatibility/bluetooth/index.html
I really think you're right. I tried streaming music through my girlfriend's car stereo last night and had absolutely no issues. I've also read the threads you linked to as well as a few others and the consensus is that Clarion keeps trying to pin the blame on the phones and not their receivers. Looks like it's time to change stereos...

You should at least check if there is a firmware upgrade available for you on Clarion's support site before spending on a new stereo.
Unfortunately, it's not available for my stereo CX501.
I have stuttering too on both my A2DP devices. Both are cheap: one is from DX, th eother is from a local 'dollar store' (where it was 10 euro or so).
The one from the dollar store seems to work fine after pairing, but not when connecting again.
The one from DX (z nice plug for the aux in of the car, with a mic and henadsfree speakers through the car audio) seems to stop stuttering after a few minutes. The audio level is a lot better with 4.3.
But no difference in stuttering beween 4.2.2 and 4.3.
Problems remain
I have found no improvement with my Nexus 7 with Android 4.3. I get stuttering every minute or so. I've done a bit of reading and found that Bluetooth is hellishly complex - and would be very difficult to debug. For instance to set up audio streaming, both devices need to agree on a codec to use. There is a default base level codec. As I have found that the issue is worse on some bluetooth receivers than others, I can only guess that the issue relates to Android's selection of a codec or other parameter on some devices. I certainly have no issue with any device streaming from my windows laptop (no matter how busy it is).
I have the exact same issues with bluetooth stuttering.
Using 4.2.2 PACman rom on my Note 2 with a Sony MW600 bluetooth adapter, the audio would switch off for a second every minute or so, whether using Google Play music or PowerAmp, but it seemed to happen less on the former.
Updating to 4.3 has made it worse, the audio now switches off for at least 5 seconds to the point where i have to check if the phone or app has crashed each time.
I never had an issue with the Revolution HD rom (I think its called?) but I believe that's mostly stock?
It kinda feels like the bluetooth can't handle the bandwidth depending on the size of the file. I think there's less stuttering on lower quality files - could just be in my head though.
I have a Galaxy S3 i747 running latest 4.3 CM10 rom. My audio stuttering actually got worse when upgrading from 4.2.2. Using platronics 903+ and a bluetooth stereo unit for my motorycle helmet.
Very disappointed. My work iPhone doesnt skip a beat.
Hi there ,
I have a stock rom 4.2.2 , I have a streaming problem with A2DP when trying to use my new portable speaker.
saw that there is a known bug which google declared has a fix since Jan. 2013 , so I guess the fix should already be in my android version.
I'm sure I'm not the only one having this problem , is there a fix without rooting etc.?
pretty funny that my old S3 can stream audio to the same speaker perfectly and the mighty S4 is lagging and cutting the music.
This is one major bug
please try and help.
Thanks
I'm having this problem as well. Anyone find a solution without rooting? I wasn't going to root this one, but now I'm thinking about it. First time owning a Samsung, so a little nervous in doing so.
I'm having a Bluetooth problem as well and looking around for a solution. I'm convinced the beats audio I downloaded to my phone is what made my Bluetooth stop working. It will work for calls but not for media payback. It will still control play or skipping but the sound only comes from the phone speaker. Anyone know how I can fix my Bluetooth capability? I tried factory reset and no change.
