I've posted in several minecraft forums with no luck, so here goes.
I have two HTC Flyer's running stock 3.2.1 with Sense.
My boys enjoy playing minecraft pe and connecting to one another.
The problem is that neither Flyer will host a game.
I can start a game on an ipad, iphone 4s, touchpad with cm9, and other devices, and the Flyers will find each game and connect no problem.
When I try to start a game on the Flyer and set server visible, I can not get any device to find the game.
All are on the same wifi and have tried multiple routers.
It appears to be something in the way the Flyer handles the Wifi, but I can not find any settings or tweaks that work.
Any suggestions?
I've thought of trying a different rom, but the boys use the tablet's to skype with their grandparents and all the newer roms do not have the camera functional.
Thanks
Mmm, well my friend and I play it together as well... He opens a wifi hotspot (even though he has no 3G plan/connection) and I connect to it and play... We have phones, could it be that u need a SIM device to enable wifi hotspots? Try doing same with 2 iPads, if wont work then you need to have the host with a SIM device... Is their a problem if someone playes on iPad other one on Flyer?

Problem appears to only be with the flyer acting as host.
If I open a game on an ipad, iphone, or other android tablet (even opened one on an mk802) and the flyers can connect to it every time. However, when I start a game one either flyer, nothing can see or connect to the game.
Try reinstalling Minecraft, or check the Visible/Invisible Server settings.

Done both of those and even that didn't help. I've ran through as much trouble shooting as I can, that's waht led me to believe it had to do with something the flyer was doind in how it handle wifi on minecraft.

Does the WiFi on your Flyer work with everything else?

Finally figured it out. After much googling and reading, I accidently left the flyer part off a search and ran across a thread with the same problem on an HTC desire.
Seems it is bug with Sense 3.0 and minecraft pe. So far nothing has been done to attempt a fix.
So now I'm trying to figure out the best rom to choose in which camera functions and sense has been stripped.
Thanks to everyone for their input and thoughts.

I was just reading about this from last week. I haven't used it yet, but it's a free virtualized Windows desktop from what I understand. Meaning it's essentially just like Splashtop in that you will have a Windows environment, however you don't need to provide the endstation you're connecting to like Splashtop- they create a virtual one on their servers. How much you can install on it or how long the sessions persist, etc, I haven't figured out since I haven't used it, but ideally this would give you free access to the Office Suite from anywhere for creating docs...
Anyway, like I said that's my understanding w/out having used it. Off to try it now
EDIT: Anyone getting it to work? I created an account, and when I try to log into the app, I get stuck at a "Connecting" hourglass...
Working super well on my Prime. Just upgraded to the $4.99/month plus version (Using it to post this - much better experience than splashtop for me.
not working for me :/ telling me my internet isn't high quality enough, even though I am on Fios, with 27000kbps download, so I dont see a problem.
Can you use Firefox or do you have to use Internet Explorer?

how did you install it on a prime?
same with me, says "Network Test Failed: OnLive was unable to complete an iInternet connection test. This might be caused by your router or firewall blocking certain internet traffic."
Tried this at work/home networks and tethered to my phone. No dice with all options
It's working super fast on my Prime, but I was let down when my keyboard dock didn't work. You have to use a built-in keyboard from their VM. I suppose I should have expected it, but I was looking forward to using a fully-fledged word processor with my Prime's keyboard.
Too bad.
Thought Id try this out, works great on my prime with flash and the browsing is amazing.
Definitely worth the extra and has increased what the prime with its dock can do.
Have to say that this kicks ass for a free service. Wonder how they support it considering I haven't seen any advertising yet.

My keyboard dock is working. Restart it and try again.
My keyboard works fine also. Is there a way to download programs? I don't think there is, but that would be awesome
Could someone post the .apk. It's not available yet in the Netherlands.

Don't forget to registrate (free) on the website of desktop.onlive.com, otherwise you cannot log in.

Not working for me
It's not working for me either. I sideloaded the app on my prime.
It tells my my connection isn't good enough, which is strange considering I can run Onlive just fine.
Anyone got a workaround?
Is there free wired tethering available for this phone?
is there a free supported app?
The computer im using doesn't have a wireless network card( it's an old computer).
and im wondering if there is a way i can get my phone to be its internet until i get a card.
I want to turn it into a FTP server.
Any help that helps, THANKS
Relative to the wireless part. I have a couple of these that I got just for this type of purpose.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0037G2BMY
Cheap, FAST and very handy to have around in the case someone brings over a computer without wireless access.
As for using your phone for the internet, that works good for browsing etc... but you will have a hard time getting your phone to provide services like service (FTP) since the IP is NAT'd....

The phone will definitely not be a permanent fix. I'll still want to use the phone haha, i just want to set it up and see how it goes first.
the router isn't that far away, but it's a floor above so it will be going through at least 1 wall...
and thanks ill look into that

Edit: that links app does NOT work for the leaked ics kernel
I thought you could just plug the phone into the usb and select internet???
No verizon made a fee, id rather go though our guy's for wired tether you know, i just need to get a little usb wireless dongle thing then i guess

Easytether works fine for free as long as you dint visit any secure sites

THANKS SO MUCH!
Glad to hear PDAnet works. I tried the Wired Tether on the Google Projects page with no luck on CleanROM 1.7.5 or CleanROM 4.2.2.
Seems to be a kernel issue I think the one from Google will work when we get aosp or cm working. Maybe the ics official release will let it work on sense roms. The PDA net app works fine currently.
I use ClockWorkMod Tether. Love it.

Has anyone ever played online games using their phone's USB tether? Either on a console or on a PC.
I just thought about this and got curious. My PS3's in the repair shop so I can't try it out my self. Has anyone ever tried? And is it possible? :O

Droidpad! Check it out on play store! Don't remember on USB but it definitely works on WiFi. Excellent thing. (Getting used to controls takes time )
Edit: You might want to see nJoy as well. Only Wifi though this one.Paid I think (Haven't tried)
If you mean connecting to something like PSN or Xbox live. I played COD4 on PS3 using a wifi hotspot and it played ok, a bit of lag but playable. Never tried with USB but wifi hotspot is easier

Yeah, that's what I meant. I think you should have less lag if you go USB though. Faster and more secure connection. That's what I think.
But good, glad to know it works

I know what you mean. Instead of DroidPad I use Gmote though. Been using it for a while and I really like it.
But what does the other app have to do with this? Lol
Back then when we didn't have router, my brother and I played RF Online with mobile network, tethered via USB in his Sony Ericsson Dumbphone
So yeah it works, but when the signal goes down, sometimes it freeze for a while

Dear All,
Has anyone tried iPad3 Bluetooth tethering to HDX? I can pair both together, but it doesnt seem to grab 3G data.
I tried transferring file via BT between SGS3 and HDX, it works which means there's nothing wrong with the chip.
I tested the same iPad with SGS3 (JB) and SGS2 (ICS). Both managed to use the data connection of iPad.
Please help.
Thanks a lot!
Banned for talking about iPads. Just kidding Did you try any apps from the Play Store?

Hmm... looks like it never works we got the same problem my iPad 3 does the same maybe there is something interfering in the connection
I tried it with my Dad's HOX and my Brother's One V and my Desire X none seems to work as well even Bluetooth transfer does not work the device could pair with it but it can't make the transfer , I guess Apple hates HTC (I know they like each other I just know it! ) any info on iOS version?

I don't think so
So heres a real annoying problem, so much to the point im starting to become depressed :/
Nothing major change that i know of, my phone worked great until like a week ago. The problem is with the wifi.
It connects and all, bit it acts as if its just slow connection, but its not because on my computer / laptop its fine. for example, youtube wont load a video, i cant download a single thing from the play store, even facebook is acting wierd. But as i said its connected to the wifi.
Now for the last weekend i went up to my brothers, and the wifi on my phone worked flawless. This is what confuses me. :/
Original s3, no root or nothing, jellybean ofc.
Any ideas anyone? :/

I got a router, and all devices connect to that, what i mean was the problem i dont think it can be with the internet itself because this issue dont occur on any other devices. if that makes sense.. :S
Your S3 has definitely got a unique IP address? You haven't set it static have you?

Yep, Its set to DHCP. So i guess, because the other option is static.
Yep. Good to rule out.
