I have an iPhone 4 running 4.3.1 and jailbroken and have downloaded MyWi. But, even though I was able to get the data to come from the iPhone, when I took it on the road Google Maps did not update my location.
am I doing something wrong? Should I use a different app for directions (CoPilot seems cheap, but latest posts say it is broken now).
Thanks

I looked up mywi and it doesnt appear to send out the gps location. Dont have any suggestions (never owned an iproduct)
Does th e stock hotspot feature o on the iphone send the GPS data? I know it does to the iPad
From 1.1 Nook Color with 1.1 ghz overclock
hotspot (tether) =\= gps tether.
Need a gpstether like app, then run that after getting a hotspot up.

actually to answer my own question I tried d it today with hotspot and it kind of worked. It had my right location usually within meters but there was lag in that it would often be 30 to 60 seconds behind.

Has anyone been able to sucessfully video chat through google talk? I have the VZW 4G tablet and I am trying to video chat on 4G and it just keeps failing every time. Is this a known issue or do I have to be on WIFI or whats the deal with this?
I tried on a European 3G device, it didn't work on 3G or WIFI connection.

I couldn't find the video chat feature in Google Talk, so I installed ooVoo, which works great!
Video chat works great for me ! (tried with a friend who had an Iconia)
Gtab Wifi only
I have used GTalk Video chat many times, always works flawlessly.

This is one of my main uses for the tab! Wifi 7510.
I've done it over wifi on my lte tablet. Haven't tried it over lte yet.
I've used video chat on wifi to talk with someone using built-in gmail chat. Worked flawlessly.
Strange, now it started working for me too.
I have tried two days to make a video call from Xoom and GT10.1 to my PC and it always failed. Yesterday i tried a call from PC to my phone and that worked right away. After that i thought i try the tablets again and now everything works. I don't know what the problem was...
Sup.
So everything works fine on my Touchpad with CM7 alpha 2, except Google Talk.
For some reason (that I haven't been able to find out on rootzwiki),
Talk doesn't stay connected to the servers, and I have to manually sign out/sign in to get it to reconnect. I have Wireless[Never Sleep] enabled, so Talk should technically stay connected 24/7, but it still times out randomly.
Not a big issue, but anyone else have this problem?
Cheers.
Wireless isn't reliable atm. It's more likely that than gtalk.

Sorry if this is the wrong thread and I've looked across the entire Internet and I'm about to pull my hair out.
Across all three of my devices; Galaxy Note 8, Galaxy S3, and Nexus 4, my download speeds for downloading and updating apps on the Google Play Store have been unbearably slow, taking 20+ minutes to download 5mb. Only while using wifi though. HSPA+ data through T-Mobile is quick and painless.
I have Verizon Fios as my ISP. I've seen numerous other threads complaining about this issue across the Web but none offer any type of explanation or solution. While restarting the router/modem alleviates the problem for a few minutes, it's no use..
Also, might I add that YouTube has been unusable as well do to awful buffering. I think there may be a conflict between Fios and Google's servers. Whatever this is, I'm getting fed up. I can't download or update any apps on my Nexus 4 that I just got today, not to mention on any of my devices at all. Can someone offer any insight on this very annoying and unexplainable issue?
PS: I know it's not my Internet, speed tests reveal 20megs down and 5 up across all three devices and general Internet usage is awesome. Only YouTube and the Play Store have been affected.

Verizon FIOS + Google Services = PAIN
The exact thing is happening with my FIOS pipe to Google services!
Youtube has been challenges for months, but this past week Google Play has become completely useless from all my Android devices!
However, if I switch over to Verizon Wireless LTE connection, things SCREAM. Feels like Verizon wants me to use my Wireless data plan instead of my unlimited fiber fire hose! What the heck.
Rest of my Fios Internet service screams, seems to be mainly Google Services.
Nothing I have done has changed anything. I wish you had the answer or I had one that I could share. Needless to say, you are NOT alone in the pain!

same here
Just started noticing it this evening. I'm in NYC area with FiOS. Has been about 3 hours trying to update 4 apps at about 20 MB total size. Get 31mbps down on speedtest.net right now.
This is ridiculous. It's not like I can just use mobile data for everything either, I only have 2gb a month through T-Mobile.
YouTube has been TERRIBLE over the past few months, I'd have to agree with you.
Just recently Google Play is starting to suffer the same fate. What should we do?!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
If I do anything network based that is NOT related to Google I get really great performance (as I would expect across FIOS). Start anything Google service related and it drops to nothing in a matter of seconds.
I have tried Android SDK image (just for laughs) on my development desktop and Google Services in it are just as network challenged. That would verify that is a Verizon/Google issue. That would be why none of my other service: Netflix, Amazon Stream, etc are effected.
I have the same problem with Youtube on my desktop as well. Things start and then just turn into a stuttering nightmare if they load at all.
Really Verizon!? Fiber and it cant stream 360 youtube videos. I think my old dialup connection could do that years ago.
Would calling up Verizon be a good idea?

Router DNS
Well as of today things are working better for me (excluding youtube of course) after I changed my routers DNS to use Google public DNS 8.8.4.4 & 8.8.8.8 instead of Verizon.
It seems to odd for it to be coincident that I changed it and restarted everything last night and performance went up dramatically. Use to use OpenDNS, then Google, then back to Verizon when I got new router from them. But went back to Google and Play is downloading like a demon again.
Fluke or real, not sure.

How would one go about changing the DNS of their network? Should I just Google it?

Router DNS Changes
This How To Geek How To should get you there.
I am using Google Public DNS ones with currently good results. My Play lag is all gone since last night when I changed. Once again, could be just a fluke, but if you are still having issues, worth a try. Can always reset back to Verizons they provide you when you dont set your own.

Good luck and hopefully someday we can have Youtube work on FIOS!

Using google public DNS solved both my issues with play store and youtube incredibly slow buffering. If you're using your ISP default or OpenDNS ones you should give it a try.
i have the same issue too, when we start using a DSL internet, video streaming on youtube is very slow and downloading at play store too.
Had the same issues, switched to Google DNS & now I'm flying again. Very very strange! Thanks for the help though!

Hi,
I've experience same issue. My android phone slow browsing when connected to wifi but its ok if connected to 3G. I've managed to solved the issue. This is what i have done.
1. Login to your router.
2. For my router there is one setting where you want to use IPv4, IPv6 and IPv4 & IPv6. On my router the default setting is IPv4 & IPv6.
3. I've configure it to use IPv4 only and save the setting.
After that i disconnect my android device and reconnect back. It works!!!

Dude! it worked! All my android devices were acting up only on my home wifi and I could not figure it out at all. Was getting orange wifi icons, slow play store and other google apps. And the few iOS devices I have in the house worked for some reason.
I came across the same issue. Slow playstore, youtube and Facebook. I disabled ipv6 on my router and then they stared to work. Maybe this can help anyone where the static dns didn't work.
I only use ipv4 D: and have google dns but it's still slow on the Play Store and Youtube. I've tried using a VPN and it's near my expected download speeds. Does anyone else have any other suggestions? It's silly that Aptoide would give me better speeds when I want my downloads to come from the Play Store.
ive got the same thing happening on my note 4. I've tried disabling ipv6 and using google DNS servers, but the Wifi is still very slow on play store (and all other apps). I've tried all kinds of stuff, even got a phone replacement from verizon and bought the newest router from FIOS.
Anyone else have this problem with alternate solutions?

Whoa! That did it for me. Thanks a lot!!
Hi y'all,
I was experiencing the same problems with Wi-Fi to my tablet all of the sudden. The speed test looked normal but play and YouTube was not. I realized that ipv6 corrected my problem under my apn instead of ipv4. I hope this could maybe help y'all.
Im using stang5litre Edition 5.0 v3 on OF1 I cant rememeber if im on the newest version or not, i feel like i might be on V2. My issue ive been having not only on this rom but the last one i use too(hyperdrive) is with random pages not working when using USB tether AND Wifi Hotspot. Some sites just return a DNS issue. Its really weird. For instance right now i can watch live streams on my DirecTv app on my phone, but my nvidia shield thats on the same network cant, ive also tried this with the wifi hotspot and had the same issue, but it comes and goes. Ill also have google issues alot. Like my phone providing the internet can use google just fine but if i hop on the laptop its hit or miss if i can use google, google.com just returns a dns issues 90% of the time. I dont know if anyone has an idea but im open to suggestions. Right now i have my phone plugged into my Asus RT-AC5300 routers usb port and have to set to android phone for primary wan, works awesome for 99% of tihngs, i just keep having random DNS issues. Im on verizon and have unlimited data
