Wondering if anyone else got a successful stream on the Thunderbolt.
It's been an incredibly frustrating experience the last two hours with my Thunderbolt.
Thought I'd watch the live stream of the lunar eclipse on the phone. Pulled out my Droid Charge, went to the Huffington Post, clicked their YouTube link, hit full screen and started getting a gorgeous SAMOLED+ view of the event in real time.
Then I thought I'd compare the visual quality of the stream on the Charge against the Thunderbolt. Followed the same steps as I had with the Charge. Stream wouldn't load... just kept getting the spinning gear indicating buffering. Tried with both stock browser (BAMF) and Dolphin HD. Tried different user agents. Downloaded update to flash player. Same thing. Tried different websites, different streams; same thing.
Went to YouTube, live stream not available to mobile devices. Aaaarrggghhh.
Thought maybe the steam was overloaded, so pulled out my Nexus S to see if it could connect. Stock browser got the live stream right away.
Spent an hour screwing around with the Thunderbolt trying to get it to work. Never could. Very frustrating.
This is why I carry multiple devices.
In the end I turned on mobile hotspot on the Thunderbolt and tethered my MacBook to it and have it on the 15" screen. Better looking than the phone anyways.
Hotspot has been very flakey fire me on the Thunderbolt lately, so it's a pleasant surprise to have had it be stable today. It's been no interruption for an hour now; much different than the disconnects every 10 seconds or so I posted about the other day.
I'm going to have to figure out why of three phones, the TB is the only one that wasn't up to the task.
Any ideas?
I have the Evo 3d and the Evo View 4G tab. I have different QIK accounts set up so I can use both of them. My wife has my old Evo. The issue is when we call eash other, I can see her fine, however I am upside down. Any ideas? I have removed and installed the apps, did a soft and hard reset, and still nothing.
I noticed the same. thing. Try holding your phone in landscape mode.

In landscape mode on the Tablet I am still up upside down, but the caller is sideways.
Same problem with Qik, fringe works fine, also Skype works...I'm not sure why qik has that problem
Fring has the same issue.
If Skype works, so should Qik since Skype owns them. Not a big fan of Fringe. SO I wonder if it is an issue with HTC software. This sucks cause now that the wife has my Evo we wanted to video chat. Between the 3D and View Tab all the small issues are adding up to big issues.
I just used QIK from my Evo 3d to my daughter's EVO and both of us were "right side up" just fine.
Happens for me in Fring (btw me and an iPhone) and Qik, with video to email to myself. Don't know how to test Skype without someone to call.
Happens to me and my wife too. She is on evo og running cm7 and me 3vo. I was thinking it was her rom causing the problem.

My Evo 4g on aosp and a Droid 3 work perfect. Its HTC sense that is the problem. Find anyone with a non HTC and itshoild work fine. Lol hell I will test it with you lol. Only phone my Evo didn't like was a Tbolt. The picture came out fuzzy on his end w mine and the Droid also come out fuzzy on his. We determined mine is fine and his is the problem
Between my 3d and my wife's epic, she see me fine, but all I get from her is a scrambled image. And her front facing cam works fine elsewhere, but no one else to qik and check
So here's my problem. My Ps3 has been banned from my parents WiFi (despite my being a straight A student, captain of the golf and soccer teams, and working fulltime in the summers. Any who, I still have access to the WiFi through my phone and was wondering if I could use the droids built in tethering to create a wireless access point for the ps3?
Here's the unique part, I bought the phone myself off of ebay and it has a bad esn (so WiFi only).
Is this possible? If itI matters, I have access to the network settings and can change a couple of less noticeable settings but I can't just unblock the ps3 as that would be noticed and followed up with a password change.

WIFI Tethering is through 3G only
Really? I've read on a couple sites about there being a mobile AP settings menu under the wireless and networks settings menu of some phones, this isn't present on mine (eclipse 1.3).
What about setting up bluetooth dun on a pc, and then setting up a wireless access point (on the DROID) using the bluetooth in place of 3G?

I'm sure that in theory there is a way to EVENTUALLY get it working. But if you're trying to get a PS3 working through tethering and you mention Bluetooth in that, you're getting nowhere fast. Bluetooth is insanely slow.
On a good day, my internet tops out at 1mbps max. Isn't that the top speed of bluetooth 2.1 or is it 512kbps or am I making a complete fool of my self?
If dragonzkiller says it will not work then you can be assured you will not get it to work.
The WiFi Tether app works on 3G only, as it uses your phone's WiFi card to broadcast a signal.
Unfortunately, the broadcast signal is Ad-hoc and the PS3 only connects to infrastructure, so even if you did get it to work on WiFi, the PS3 wouldn't read the Ad-hoc network that your phone was broadcasting.
Alright I concede, oh well. Can't win them all
Thanks for the really speedy responses
Do your parents regularly regulate the router? Since you say you have access to the router's settings, are the ports the PS3 uses blocked or is the PS3's MAC address blocked? If it were those situations, you could change the blocked ports or MAC address by just one number. That way it still appears like the PS3 is being blocked. In the MAC address list, I'd also move the PS3 one to the middle so that it's not the last one on the list. This is based off the simple routers I've had in the past and my own experience growing up with restrictive parentals. If your steps creak, I also reccommend placing your footing away from the middle and close to the wall where the boards are nailed and flush. Also use your hands to better distribute the weight and at least avoid a really loud creak. If they are light sleepers, put your car in neutral and roll it out of the driveway. Don't start your car until you pushed your car down the road a bit. I have a lot more advice on the subject if you want. Just don't ask me what to do when your gf pinned you down in her foyeur at 2am and your phone butt dials your evil sister that will tell mom. There's no answer for that.

Hehehe That is all
Yeah, I considered that. Might do it if I get desperate after midterms end this week.
The stairway thing I've known for a while, but the car ones a good suggestion, especially since my car has a dying catalytic converterand makes more noise than a heavy metal band.
The part about the gf had to suck for you, but luckily I've got enough dirt on my siblings that I don't have to worry (too much)
One of my favorites is to wait until everyones asleep and then leave a note on the counter saying I had to go to school early to work on ____ if you end up not being able to get back before they wake up this covers you and if you get back before they wake up you can just destroy the note.
Use PC as AP
Not sure if this is still a problem for you, but do you have a PC connected to the internet? If so, you can probably set up the PC as a wifi access point. This is really easy to do in Windows 7, and even easier in Linux (if you know what you're doing). There is also a program called Connectify that you can install to do this on Windows, but if you have Win 7, then all you need to do is run a few simple commands at the cmd prompt to set up your PC as a wifi AP.
quit soccer and golf and take up basketball, only then will your parents see you are truly ready for their wifi waves

Hockey is where it's at.
I am a fan of your username.
More to the point, though, is that I don't believe this to be possible. Tethering is designed to be an access point through 3G/4G.
It would be painfully slow anyway. With 40Mb/s broadband you would struggle to get 1Mb/s if you routed it through your phone.

No, No, No. Quit all sports and pick up a guitar. Music makes people happy. And chicks like guys who can play the guitar.

The toughest part about the violin for me was finger position....notes are not too close together in the first position but in the third they are right on top of each other, but if you are just slightly off in either position the note is just sour and not right...but when you're on absolutely beautiful...also bow tension pressure etc is tough to get used to....you can get a cheap one for around 120-150 but if you love music you know how cheap instruments can be and sound

Hey Guys,
I just purchased a Kenwood KDC-BT952HD. Everythings Smooth With It, Except for the main reason i bought it, to pair it to my phone.
When i connect my Evo 3D to my stereo via Bluetooth, works for a bit, then cuts out. Then my phone freaks out and doesn't let me turn Bluetooth off, then back on. (Only way is to reset the phone.)
On top of that, anything being played via the stock player (which recognizes the Bluetooth connection) sounds so cheap. Pandora on the other hand sounds fine. Not sure why it sounds different between players.
Here's a link to Kenwood's list of compatible Bluetooth devices:
http://www.kenwood.com/cs/ce/bt/index.php (Select KDC-BT9; KDC-BT952HD) and (HTC; Evo 3D)
Says its compatible, but sounds like crap compared to the crisp sound it has with my iPad, which i don't want to use over my phone.
Any Help Please!
Thanks!
Edit:
Sounds crisp and clear VIA Play Music app, but I don't know what to do about the random cut outs. For some reason I feel its my device that's cutting out, as I can't turn Bluetooth on or off after it cuts out.
Anybody?

Possibly a defective unit. Take it back AFTER trying a stock rom. Ive used mine with the exact same one and had no issues yet.
I have a kenwood bt 838-u and it doesn't do anything like that. I agree with leo it might be a defective radio. Also have you checked for any firmware updates for the head unit.

Thanks, i haven't updated it, but im not sure how to. I believe i do it through the USB port? theres also no firmware available to download from Kenwood's site under that specific model.
Another option would be to try sync another phone or bluetooth device to it.

I haven't been able to except for my iPad, which worked fine with no issues. I'm going to try the stock ROM in a bit. I'll try my girls 3vo when she gets home tonight. Thanks for the feedback guys.
Anybody know how to update the firmware on the stereo?
Via My HTC Evo 3D On The Now Network From Sprint.
Starting to thinks it might be defective. Tried my iPad again, and it plays fine, then starts stuttering. This all happened without moving anything. The iPad sat in the same spot when it started, and stopped. I'm hoping there's a fix, or worst case, it's the stereo and I can replace it.
I would contact kenwood and tell them what is doing. Tell them you have tried multiple devices and have the same issue. They might have some firmware update that is not on the website or they might give you an RMA.
Contacted Kenwood, they couldn't help. No updates available also. Although, pure stock rom isn't giving me an issue. I'm going back to my rom, but going to see if using stock kernel changes anything. :/
I'm using freezes kernel.
Found the issue. My boy freezas working on a fix.
Via My HTC Evo 3D On The Now Network From Sprint.
Yes there has been a firmware update. (EVO 3D owner)
I'm a new user so I can't post urls sorry:
There's an instruction page and a download page on the kenwood usa site
FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS EXACTLY! Part of the update needs to be burned onto a CD and part needs to be burned onto a thumb drive.
I have the same kenwood unit. It was acting squirrly with my evo 3d then I found this update and installed it. It now works perfecctly. Controls Pandora and displays everything!
Pandora tip: Start the app from your phone first THEN go into pandora mode on the unit. It works everytime then.

This weekend I put my Qs to good use. We had a birthday party for my wife. We were able to play music in two different areas controlled by our visitors. Not everyone had a capable phone so we let them use our Nexus 7 tablets and our Galaxy Nexus phones to help with the music. There were some buffering issues but I have one of the routers that Google says does not play friendly with the Q. The Qs worked great.
Saturday night we were watching 21 Jump Street (using our $25 credits) in the theater room. We decided we wanted to go into the bedroom so I was able to pause playback in one room and resume in the other. This was a cool feature I didn't even think about before. Again, the Qs had some buffering problems but they only appeared in one part of the movie and never came back.
I am ordering an Asus AC router to use with this so hopefully the buffering problem will go away. I haven't heard of any issues with the Q and the Asus routers. I have three Qs in all and use them all almost daily. My kids use them all the time when their friends come over to shoot pool or play video games.
You hear so many negative things about the Q that I thought I'd add some positive. I wish Google would have extended a $25 or greater credit to the Q as well.

Well then.... you should not have skips from the play store. At least not on your side lol. Either play store or the q... I wouldn't think your router since many other people reported this problem. I have an Asus router, I will update when I get my q....

The WNDR3700 is one of the routers that Google says doesn't work well with the Q. They don't state the specific problem.
are you kidding me?
you rich **** :crying:
So I got my q but it doesn't come with micro HDMI
Gotta snatch it back from my grandma lol
One thing I don't like about the Q so far is not being able to give ownership to more than one device. I, as the owner, should be able to use any Jellybean device I own on the Q. We have two Nexus 7s and 3 JB phones. I should be able to control the Q from any of those.
I'd also like to be able to stream audio from apps like Jango and Raditaz. BTW if you haven't used those apps you should try them out. They are like Pandora without commercials.
Other than that I am really liking the Q.
Update*
Streaming YouTube, play movies, and music with no issues. I have an Asus router with 35mbps cable modem.

Did you have any issues with people essentially breaking others' music choices by selecting a new track too early? We tried doing this for a party, but the devices eventually ended up in a dueling situation where people were abruptly overriding the currently playing music.

I own three Qs. I have one in our home theater game room area, one in my home office, and in the master bedroom. I paid $193, $220, and $235 for the Qs. So I got three for the price of two. I wasn't going to buy the $193 but it was too good of a deal to pass up. I got all three of ebay.
