Had anyone had problems tethering to xbox live either via barnacle or mobile AP?

Use mobile ap. Those apps are adhoc. Mobile ap turns your phone into a router. Have u installed a custom rom?, than u probably already have mobile ap.

Yea I'm using mobile AP, but when I try to use it on xbox it says mtu is insufficient. I had seen a video on you tube on changing mtu w/ terminal emulator and did that to the T but still no luck. I was having similar issues w/ barnacle but I found that if I wait about 2 to 5 minutes after starting it up then hooking up to xbox live it works. I'm going to try same method w/ AP when I get home. Oh BTW I'm using bionix fusion 1.1 stock kernel

I haven't tried using either of those with XBox Live, so I can't really give any help in tha regard. I can suggest, however, that you try android-wifi-tether (You'll have to google it because I can't post links, and make sure to download the latest experimental version with support for the galaxy s). I used this on my Vibrant before I learned about the Mobile AP, and it works quite well. I had used it before on my G1, and was succesful in using it to play on Live with that. I haven't tried Live with my Vibrant, though, so I can't guarentee it will work. Hope this helps!

I was able to get the wiimote to work using a rooted cm7 rom and a offical wii remote. The only downfall was I has to disconnect my wifi to get the remote to stay connected. I am using the wiimotecontroller version 0.25 . I have tried the beta version also with no sucess. Would love to get this working with wifi connected. Please help

Thanks in advanced

I've been using Android-VNC-Viewer since I bought my Atrix. It's worked great so far. Best of all, it's free! You can find it in the market.
I'm using Ultra VNC on my server.
Let me know if you have any questions. It may be a bit difficult to set up at first. Good luck!

Sounds like port 5900 is closed. Google "port forward", click on the first link, and follow the instructions for your specific router.
You can verify whether or not a port is open at CanYouSeeMe dot org.
Let me know how it goes.

I used Splashtop on my old phone. Insanely quick - you could even watch videos and listen to music. Hell, I managed to do some basic stuff in photoshop!
I'm a fan of VNC, but it's not the most secure thing around.
I would set up a VPN connection to home or an SSH tunnel to use it. That will add to it's security. If you go with the port forward route, make sure you shut the forwards off, or close VNC when you don't need it. (Read, VNC alone isn't very secure)
If your not a network geek, then I highly recommend Teamviewer.
It just works, thru whatever firewall setup you sit behind. With zero configuration. You can also add ACL's to allow connections from only certain IP's/Clients to lock your install down a little better.
Been using team viewer for years now. I its the best on market. And free as well.

i use unified remote. simple, and works great
Splashtop remote is a godsend in terms of quickly showing you what's going on on your computer. It essentially makes your phone a remote display capable of not only controlling the computer, but also watching videos, and even playing games. The coolest thing for me is the ability to stream the audio from your computer to your phone. Hope this helps
This does use quite a lot of data so I suggest running it on wifi. There's a free demo as well that you can try.

Hey just wondered if there was a tweak to make apps think their on wifi? Im trying to use bbc player at work but i need to be connected to wifi and i don't have wifi at work. Im on three network with unlimited data and would love to find a tweak to let me use apps thinking their on wifi. I had this tweak on my iphone but can't find it for android.
Thanks

Team viewer worked great on my nook color for controlling my PC from anywhere. Just had to set it up on both the PC and nook. Easy and free in the market.
Never tried it on the tab though.

It gave me total control of my PC.... Showed my screen almost like remote desktop. Freaked the kids out when I took control of the mouse from anywhere. lol
Edit: Just noticed you wanted to stream some TV shows. Don't know if that would be clunky or not.

Not sure if it would depend on the connection speed or more the capabilities of the app itself. I shall give it a try tonight. Much appreciated mate and looking forward to freaking out the wife haha

The only problem is using Teamviewer you would need to set a prefixed password and username on it as it generates random per session so would be best. Also it needs to be on, closing teamviewer on your PC means you cut off the communication. Also it doesn't require a high end internet as teamviewer by default drops the quality and turns off wallpaper's and such per connection to enhance speed to navigate vs graphics.

That's fine my PC is on 24/7 anyway so that wouldn't be a problem.. if it sacrifices graphics for speed do you think maybe its not gonna be suitable for what I need it for?

Think you can set a password to use all the time in options, but it's been awhile since using. So could be wrong, but never remember having a random password. But yes I do remember having to have the PC on, but believe I could still wake it.
Again, I've not used my nook color for some time with this. So give an old man a break if I'm wrong.

i use splashtop which basically works like windows remote desktop - you can see and interact with your home pc like you were in front of it - great for playing back videos as well

Server runs on Linux, Mac or PC. I have a Linux server running so I can't tell you how good the Windows port is.
I have never used it for an outward facing connection though it is designed to work that way. I have it running on my old Dinc, Kindle Fire and the G-Tab. Video streaming works very well.

In my opinon it is all about the bandwidth. Some (HD) Movies need up to several megabit per second...
A solution is to use a VPN connection to the home network and a UPnP-AV server/client.
I use Twonky and BubbleUPnP, but only in my LAN. With a VPN and sufficient bandwith on the connection this would do the job over the internet, too.

With a little planning you could upload the video files that you want to be able to access to Dropbox, Minus or whatever Google offers that is similar. Then all you would have to do is access the files from your tab. If you have enough bandwidth for video, it should work great.
Check it out and let us know if my idea works for your needs.

Never thought about cloud.. like u say though forward planning would be needed and I'd have to upload everything that I'd want to watch each time before I go anywhere. Nice idea though

I have had cerberus installed on my PC for a long time, it allows you to use your PC as an FTP server.
This way you can have access to your chosen files anywhere with the internet. On your mobile most file explorers have a FTP option to move files to or from the PC.
Its handy to have access to all your music, or maybe use it the other way to backup your photos ect when away from home for a extended period.
you could also stream over FTP if your file explorer allows you to map the FTP server as a local drive

Ok, so I gotm my S3.
With help of internet it got updated to Android 4.1.1 and rooted.
I got Market Enabler and Netflix app of Google Play (BTW: I have tried prev ver of the app as well - Netflix 1.8.)
1. I setup VPN connections (US & UK servers), both PPTP and L2TP protocols (just to be sure).
Internet (on Chrome and stock browser) is working great. VPN servers are fast so no difference here. Websites like home of the provider and trace my ip do show my location in accordance with VPN.
But when I try to log in to my Netflix account or start BBC iPlayer all I get is information (from Netflix) - that it is trying to connect. Like no data at all is being exchanged between app and internet
Any ideas?
2. When I started to setup VPN I was forced to put pin/pattern lock on S3. Any easy (for total newbie) way to turn it of?
Which vpn you are using and try changing the server.
If there is app for your vpn then most probably you dont need to use pattern lock. Try using VPNroot app but sometimes it diesnt work or find some app from app store.

I am using HideIPVPN (as in my signature).
They don't have an app for Android - I had to setup connections manualy.
I did try different servers - same thing. Browser work, Netflix and BBC (on the same VPN servers) do work on my PC and iPad - S3 - nope
I am using expressvpn and it works like a charm. Clear data from both the apps and try

I'm using HideMyAss.com vpn (no app, so manual configuration). It seems to work fine as I can see some difference in contents when comparing netflix in denmark (no vpn) and netflix US (through hidemyass).

Hi,
i downloaded vpnroot, configured it with my VPN provider (I am using HideIPVPN for last 3 years - awesome service btw!) nad it all started woorking.
Hulu (Plus) Netflix, BBC - all smooth like butter (unlike TouchWiz or Android 4.1.1 on my S3 )
