[Q] Problem with htc tp2

I'm using my htc touch pro 2 for wifi tethering by CM Internet sharing.
And I try use my iPhone4 4.1 to watch YouTube video over my htc wifi. The video never play. It keep saying The server is not correctly configured.
But when I use my home Internet (comcast) for my iphone4 to play YouTube video, it work fine. It just don't work over my htc wifi tethering.
My question is it's there anyway I can use my htc wifi tethering to watch YouTube video over my iphone4?

Most of the workarounds involve a VPN service to access Netflix from outside of the USA with those disadvantages; difficult setups, limited bandwidths.
UnoTelly is a $5 per month DNS redirection service that claims to enable customers outside of the USA to watch Netflix streaming, Hulu, listen to Pandora, and more by redirect your local DNS to their global DNS without slowing your internet connection and streaming speed.

I did and I signed up. I successfully used it to access BBC in the UK and HULU and PBS and other stations in the US. No slow down in bandwidth. Well worth the money.

Works great for me too. I'm from Poland. Now i can listen Spotify and Pandora without any problems with on EVERY device - phone, tablet, wii.
Only what it takes is setting DNS number.

This is working great for me too. I've got an RK3066 TV stick set up with the Netflix app and this massively increases the available library. Very simple to set up just by changing DNS and the experience is pretty seamless.
I've been using Unotelly for about a year now. I setup the DNS settings into our router so that all our devices on our network goes through the Unotelly DNS. It works great.

Netflix isn't available outside of the USA? Worked OK in Costa Rica. I was able to use it both on my unlocked 3G Pantech Burst, with a local Kolbi prepaid SIM as well as using my tablet connected to a wifi router that was had a 3G USB stick. My son watched his shows almost daily while we were on vacation a week ago.

Is it possible to have Local wifi hotspot without mobile network.

Is it possible to have a Local WiFi Hotspot? I have a Galaxy S5 with Verizon. Ever since I upgraded I have been struggling on a 6gb data plan. I own an iPad and an Apple TV and wanted to do wireless airplay for presentations. Of course Apple TV requires a WiFi connection to airplay so I was wondering if there was a way to make a local wifi hotspot on a device without using the internet? It would be like having a wireless router that isn't plugged into a modem. I have never seen this brought up before so I figured I might as well see if it is even possible. What do you guys think?Am I crazy for wanting a local hotspot or does this peak anyone interest to explore?

Nexus Player 5.1.1 Connected Via Hotspot Makes It Think My Connection Is Metered

Connected via Hotspot makes it think my connection is metered
I connect my Nexus Player via a HotSpot on my Samsung Note 3 N9005, but Play Store will not download "large apps", just giving the message "Waiting for network". Internet is working for all other apps, including YouTube, Play Movies and Play Music.
Smaller apps will download from the Play Store. Other units i connected was working fine, my Nexus 7 2013 marked my connection as Metered, but i turned that off.
The Player is running on Android 5.1.1 48J and is rooted, stock recovery. The problem is: compared to normal android-units, the Player is not exposing any settings relating to this. I also have unlimited data on my 3G, so no worries about cost.
Is there any way to change my WiFi from metered to "normal" by editing anything?

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.
