Folder and dlna issues - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Firstly,the phone is awesome and im loving it.
However, I'm having 2 problems which I'm hoping someone can help with....
1. On the home screen, I have set up a folder with some apps in it. I re arrange the apps but after half a day or so, the apps have moved their position in the folder. Anyone else getting this?
2. In Video Player, I go to 'Nearby Devices' and I can see my DLNA server but when I select it, it says 'Contents Location is not available. Check network status and connected device' . This server works fine with my Transformer Prime and PS3. Any ideas what I need to do to get it working?

having the same dlna issue (2) with my S3. Help?
my server is an XBMC running on a PC.
broadcasting pics and videos to it works beautifully though..
what app do you use on your transformer prime? I have a TF101 but I don't access my XBMC from it.

[Q] Problems with PLEX after ICS?

I've been unable to stream most of my movies since the ICS (and/or a plex app update, not sure yet) . Is anyone else exeriencing problems with plex? I keep getting the "there was a problem with media playback" error while attempting to play movies that worked before the update. Any ideas? (I've tried disabling all dev options just in case)
Thanks
i can no longer connect to my server

Accessing network resources

Hi,
I tried searcing the Prime forum but couldn't find anything. Since the Prime is connected via wifi on my home network, how can I access like folders and files on my other pc's that are in the same network and also my NAS storage in the same network. I know printing is not possible unless you have 3rd party software like Printshare and others.
Tried to go to MyNet and seems this is just for media like music and streaming purposes (not sure).
Please advise and thank you for you input.

Splashtop from Remote Location?

I have Splashtop setup on my Prime and PC. I can access my PC desktop from my Prime on my Home Network and it works great. When I am at a Remote location and not near my Home Network can I use Splashtop and access PC from different WiFi Network? If so how?
Thanks
Couple of ways... if you have a dynamically updated domain name for your home network, you can access it through fowarded ports...
if you are connected with google services available (wifi icon = blue), then you can use the "Internet Discovery" feature in the menu of Splashtop Remote and Streamer.

I think it works if you set it up with a vpn.
Never tried.
I use splashtop with Google services all the time, works great.

Keep in mind that Splashtop doesn't encrypt at all.
I tunnel it through SSH to make it secure.

The main reason I want Remote PC access is for my wife. She will using Prime as a Laptop for Nursing Conferences she has to attend. Though she will Probably have all the file access she needs though our DropBox I just want to have something as a "backup" if she need to find something on our PC while she at one of these Conferences.
On your desktop if you goto the splashtop client theres a setting to add a gmail account. Put that in and goto the splashtop on your prime and again theres a setting to add your gmail. Now you can access it anywhere in the world. I work at best buy mobile and show customers this
Anyone tested the remote option with a good wifi connection on both sides? I tried this through a wifi hotspot from my Sensation and it was horrible lol.. As expected probably but i just wonder what speed is like under "normal" conditions.
I was playing around with this a bit last night using the Splashtop THD version purchased from the market. The connection I had setup was my home computer running Splashtop Streamer which is on Comcast Xfinity (computer is hardwired into router), then my tablet running Splashtop THD which was located ~3 cities away pigging backing off my friends wifi internet connection which also happens to be Comcast Xfinity.
I ran three tests.
First was playing all the games on my PC (Skyrim, The Witcher 2, StarCraft 2, etc.). This went admirably well aside from the fact that I clearly had issues controlling the games as only Skyrim has a gaming profile. Otherwise it ran surprisingly smooth and reminded me a lot of OnLive, Skyrim being the best test since I had an external usb mouse with me plugged into the tablet and was able to look about in the game.
Next I did some basic functionality testing with web browsing, word processing, and music playing... all of which were executed flawlessly.
The last test I ran was with video streaming (ie. playing fullscreen video on my home PC while connected from the tablet in Splashtop). I played a 1080p, 720p and 480p video for the tests, all played admirably well given a few seconds to sync audio/video. What I mean by this is usually when the videos started (or if I were to seek forward or back) the audio would be out of sync temporarily for about 5-15 seconds depending, and then finally catch up. Once caught up however the video from that point on seemed to play flawlessly.
The only thing I sadly did not remember to do was running a speedtest at Wifi Analyzer at my friends house. I do remember however that I was at full signal strength for the wifi connection at my friends house (my tablet in general has zero wifi issues, typically it performs better than my moto atrix). Overall I would say it performs admirably well but if you are going to have less than 50% wifi strength you will probably start to see noticable lag. I will also comment that typically the Comcast Xfinity internet in my area clocks are 30/8 for down/up in Mbps.

Can you have more than 1 Gmail account listed on Splash top? I am using the Splash top included with the Prime and I am logged in with my Gmail account but I don't see how to Add an account. Do I need to log out of my account to add my wife's Gmail as a 2nd access account?

I remember using Splashtop on my TP when first got it but after I factory-reset my tablet, I don't see the icon anymore. How do I access Splashtop now?

It in the MyCloud app

SKYGO App

Any one got this working on a Transformer Prime running ICS? I know some people have had this working on other devices but was wondering if anyone had this working on a TFP and if so how they did it?
Thanks in advance
I have tried lots and failed.
The only way I can get it to work on the tablet is to run Sky Go on my PC and then connect to the pc using Splashtop which streams it to the tablet.

I use VMLite VNC Server. You have to buy it though. It works great! I use it to text using Watsapp on my Mac. :good:
Does anyone know of one that automatically connects to the phone without having to launch the app on the phone first? Maybe it being a background app listening for a connection?
I tried VMlite but it seems to make my phone lag while running.

Try Mobizen.
I don't think it streams sound though and only runs at about 10 frames a second. But you can control your phone without starting the app...AND it works over 3G/4G as well as wifi.
It also only seems to be in portrait mode.
