I request the experts on this forum to advise me on my following observation about GPRS / EDGE performance on Smartphones:
I have observed that the Smartphones (particularly Android) do not perform as well as the computers when performance is compared on GPRS / EDGE.
I have tested streaming videos on while on GPRS / EDGE (not 3G or 4G) and observed that the smartphone gives up saying connection problem. When I stream the same videos with the same GPRS / EDGE connection through a USB Dongle (with same SIM Card inserted which was used for testing on Smartphone), the Computer performs better and is able to stream the Videos.
I request the experts to explain why this happens. The SIM and its location are the same and the speed received from it is also the same. Then why does the computer able to play it while the smartphone gives up saying connection problem.
I would like to clarify here that the GPRS / EDGE works alright on surfing websites etc. while the problem is only in streaming. I have tested this on various phones of Samsung / HTC / Motorola so the question of a particular phone having some problem does not arise.
Thank you

I like streaming TV (ES7005) to my SGS2 inside my home network but I'd love to be able to do it elsewhere too, for example with 3g connection or friend's wifi.
With OS Monitor (from market) I managed to find out that at least while streaming the connection is made to ports 55000 and 55001, but even if I portforward these to my TV I can't make a connectiong with 3g.
Is there any network wizard here that could make it work or at least explain why it wouldn't work without wifi connection?
Hi all,
I need to thether my 3G connection with my satellite linux-based receiver but I have some problems with the built-in wifi module (n standard).
Probably the drivers are not well developed but I experience some random lags (for example I ping it 2ms then 650ms the 45ms etc...) also with my linksys router.
I had to switch to 802.11g only in the router's option to have the receiver working properly.
But now I have the same problem with my S3: the receiver connects @ 150Mbps (so 802.11n) during the tether with the same random lags...
Can I select a lower max speed (a different standard, 802.11g in this case) in the Galaxy S3 (also with external tethering software, the phone is rooted)?
Can I set it for the whole wifi section (I think that also the tethering will go at that speed)?
Thank you very much for the support!
Same problem here
I have this very same problem with my SGS3. My older laptop can't use SGS3 tethering because it lacks 802.11.n. I would really love to know of a way to force 802.11.g tethering on my S3. I'm not capable to root my phone, so it has to be some setting or app.
Is there anyone that knows how to do this?
Hi all!
Excuse my english please, is not my native language.
I'm a Galaxy S3 (android 4.1.1) user and i'm having problems (not only my device, also other S3 i tried and also one S2 of a friend of mine) to connect and read through a OTG cable, an USB device with 30MB of memory. It's a Navi2coach gps navigator for bike training from the o-synce company. This devce has a internal memory of 30 MB to save routes, workouts, tracks, trainings, etc. The S3 can't find the file system. I've tried with a low range AIRIS one pad 970,(android 4.0) and It CAN read it without problems. Do you know if there is any limitation of file system reading with the Samsung's?
Thank you all.
JVC GC XA1 Adixxion sport camera and wivideo problem
Hi!
Excuse my english please it's not my native language.
I have search across web and didn't find anything about this problem. Let me explain.
I have a new (and firmware updated) JVC GC XA1 sport camera. It has wifi connectivity. I have connected to the laptop succesfully (through wifi), and also to my Galaxy S3 trough my router (the jvc can connect with the S3 through a router or with a direct connection. In this mode, the S3 has to be a hotspot). The problem: I connect succesfully to the S3 hotspot mode. I open the wivideo application. The application finds the device, but in the image preview appears "loading" and that's all. I can't connect and says "Without cannection to the wifi camera" I thought i could have a faulty device or software problems, but i tried to another S3 with the same result...
Tried with an old Airis onepad970 (android 4.0), and works pretty well (preview image works and can connect to the camera). I tried with direct connection mode of the camera, (only works with Iphone WTF?!!?) and also works fine (with an iphone).
Anyone with problems at wivideo that could give some light?
Thank you all.
Hey guys.
So here is the problem. I am currently without an internet connection and would like to stream media from a off site Plex Media Server.
Now I could just stream it to my phone (the 4g down is outstanding here, 20mb+), but I would like to watch it on the TV.
I can send a video stream directly to the TV from my phone (using Bubble uPnP), but I need to be on the same WiFi network. Obviously the catch to this is I lose the 4g connection if I do this.
Is there any way I can connect to a WiFi network and keep the 4g connection? This seems like something that shouldn't be that hard, but I'm no expert.
I know I can just use a HDMI adapter to do this, but that renders my phone useless as it has a cable fixed to the bottom.
Thanks in advance!
Hi, I hope this is the right place for this question.
I'm looking for a video streaming app that will work over a tethered connection i.e. one phone tethered to the other, without a separate wifi network or internet connection. The two phones will be the only devices available. One phone will act as the video camera outside in the cold, the other will be for monitoring the video inside in the warm.
I've found that most wifi-enabled apps of any sort won't work in this scenario.
