Hey devs, please share how you mod the xperia s system files to pick up 5ghz wifi... Stock 54mbps is terrible when streaming hd content of the xperia s to my tv.
There is various tutorials for other devices around here but they state that on ICS you have to modify tiwlan.ini but my xperia s does not have this file...
It is already partially supported in ICS.

hi all.
I have stock 2.3.4 rooted ray and I tried the new app -vscreens.com which let U to share your photo and video on wifi and I want to ask U if my transmit speed from Ray is good 4 G router
when I share my video(same network as pc - using G speed wirelees router)
the speed is 3.3mbps- isnt it to low? G standard speed should be up to 56mbps 4 local lan file sharing so why my xperia ray transmits filles so slow?
I tried enable burst mode but no change
what should I do? is it OK or I can be improved?

How did you check the speed?
There are 2 different things, speed between Router and phone/laptop, and speed from router to the whole internet.
The speed between router and phone/laptop can be high, 56 Mb/s or even 100 Mb/s, but speed to the internet maybe only 3.3 Mb/s and that can only be changed by your ISP(internet service provider).
Yes, it is good. I have a lower speed between my PC and router.

For me, speed between laptop and router is 72 Mbps(Megabits per second, not megabytes), but from router to the internet is only download 4,2 Mbps, upload 0,71 Mbps.
Hi there,
I have been using my Sony xperia tablet Z for a few weeks now, but i can't connect to my NAS.
I've been trying to stream music from my NAS to my tablet, either via SMB (Samba) or UPnP.
When i open the walkman app on my tablet it shows my NAS and i am able to connect to the drive.
But after that it just shows a nearly infinite list repeating the 3 folders on my NAS (music, movies & images)
When i try to open the folder Music it tries connecting for a few min. After that it just says there is no content in that folder (which there is).
I have tried connecting to the NAS using other apps like Antek file explorer (with SMB addition) and several UPnP players, most can't find my NAS and those who can can't connect to it.
I have the following NAS: Freecom network drive XS 1.5 TB.
My NAS is set up with 3 accounts, 1 public (no username or password), 1 for me and 1 for my gf (both with custom username and password)
My Sony xperia tablet Z is the 16GB wifi only version, latest firmware.
Any suggestions on where to look for the problem? And even better, how to fix the problem.
Thanks!
I found a temporary work-around.
I can connect XMBA(a media player) to the NAS. From there i can stream my media to my tablet.
Let's hope i can find out how to get rid of this workaround.
Well, for some scenarios (like, for instance, using GoneMad Music Player or PowerAmp with a NAS) it's anyway better to have support for mounting CIFS or NFS file systems so that all apps can access the NAS, thinking it is part of the local file system.
On other devices there exist kernels with CIFS and/or NFS support "baked in" (my old Acer A700 even has NFS in the stock ROM), or at least some dev has compiled CIFS or NFS modules for the devices which can be used via insmod at bootup or via apps like Mount Manager.
Unfortunately at the time there are no such possibilities on the Tablet Z - although I would be very happy if we would get them Devs, are you listening? (Is it perhaps possible to use/port cifs. ko from some other Xperia device?)

I recently found out that XBMC has a android version now (still in beta), but the app connects to my NAS flawlessly.linkylink
I have no clue as to why XBMC works flawlessly while other apps like walkman, antekfileexplorer and UPnPplayer wont work.
I use Esfile explorer

I tried to use Anttek FM its beautiful but SMB really slow(sometimes nothing). EsFM is simpler and fast. Go to Network - LAN - Scan and there is it. Plus I made shortcut to tab Z homescreen so I can connect faster.
Why is it that once I connect to miracast it will disconnect from wifi? Is it hardware limitation or software bug? My Samsung note 2 can connect on both miracast and still maintain wifi connection.
I would like to know... Had the same problem.

SW Issue
This ist what I posted in the sony forum thread under talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Tablet-Z/Can-t-do-Screen-Mirroring-miracast-and-WiFi-connection/td-p/333179/page/3[/url]
Sooo, installed Cyanogenmod 10.2 (based on Android 4.3 which supports WiDi/Miracast natively) and see there:
WIDI/Miracast and the connection to my home WiFi Network work simultaneously.....!!!
So Sony, two lessons for you here:
1. Get of your collective ***** and get Android 4.3 going without nerfing perfectly fine core features
2. If you're going the forum/community way, provide correct information (aka really ask your developers) and don't spew half informed nonsense/play the information hiding game...
To everyone else here: give them ****, or they will never learn!
PS: Who wants to try, google Cyanogenmod ("Pollux" -for LTE variant- or "Pollux_Windy" -for WiFi only variant-). Warning!: Possible Warranty void when flashing custom ROMS

Will Simultaneous Screen Mirroring and WIFI be possible on Sony's V4.3 Release?
I am glad to hear screen mirroring and WIFI can work simultaneously with the Cyanogenmod 10.2 ROM. Just wondering if the screen monitoring/WIFI issue will be fixed on the official V4.3 stock ROM?
The Xperia Z tablet is awesome, but shutting down the WIFI while enabling screen mirroring is a major show stopper for me, given that I bought this tablet for my parents to watch streaming video (i.e. Netflix, XBMC, YouTube.) on TV though a Push2TV adapter. For close to a year my Nexus 4 has been able to stream many movies using wireless screen mirroring without losing the WIFI, I am surprised the Sony Xperia Z Tablet is not able to do the same.
Guys can u tell me how connect xperia pro to bravia tv ..the tv has wifi and also direct wifi and also miracast compatible.
Currently im on ICS rom { Iridescent Zed One Rom } which has walkman,album and Movies app from xperia z and when i use wifi direct from tv it shows the phone is connected but i cannot throw any media from these three apps.
also tried CM11 roms which has CAST SCREEN feature but its also not working..
i can connect through HDMI and DNLA from my wifi router.
So any help on this confusing matter is welcomed .
thank you !
Hi guys,
I need a mircast dongle (hdmi based) via which I can stream any type of (including offline/local) content and also able to mirror my mobile, tablet (android) and laptop (Win7). I am confused among chromecast, microsoft, ezcast etc.
Basically I need freedom to stream and mirror any type of content and whole screen. I also want to confirm if any of these devices good enough for 720p videos and video calls from skype?
btw which font is this? I really like it :good:
