I apologize if this has been coverered elsewhere, but I tried searching to no avail.
For 2 weeks, the Slingbox Player has worked flawlessly. Now (seemingly) out of nowhere, it just hangs there on launch with the little white ball moving back and forth across the U. I have to go into the memory manager to terminate it, and while it is doing this, the device loses sync with the Windows box it is connected to.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi all,
Here's a strange one for you, my data connection on my phone was working fine since I've got it (since launch) but all of a sudden, over the last few days, it now can't stay alive for over a couple of hours. To be more precise, it does stay connected, but looses the ability to do anything, for example, active sync sits there "waiting for network" and opera sits there "looking for host" and I can't view anything. It works fine before then, then just suddenly stops. Anyone got any suggestions on what this could be? It's really annoying because it means that my emails suddenly don't get sent through, and I never know when it's stopped working unless I manually check.

I got the exact same problem, the only thing I didn't do so far is a hard reset...
The weird thing is that it DOES WORK for lets say the weather plugin in the today screen, but IE, opera, nothing else works
I'm having this same issue with panosha's v2 rom. Weather works ok, but nothing else. I really need it for activesync, and that just comes back and tells me I have permission issues, yet when I soft reset, it works just fine.
Sounds like activesync is the culprit here. Are you using activesync when the data quits working? cause i've had lots of issues with activesync screwing up my data connection.

that is my response to how i get activesync to work and keep my computer connection separate from my phone's connection. If the problem described isn't the exact same thing i'm guessing that it something similar. i would suspect that somehow the settings in your network selection drop downs have been changed.
hope this will help in some way.
Hi everyone,
Here's the problem with an edge connection on T-mobile:
1) In PIE (pocket internet explorer) I type in www.google.com
2) It takes me to www.google.com/m, which is fine with me
3) I'm looking at the webpage and then select "sign in"
4) PIE closes with no error codes or nothing
5) I tried several websites and I could surf a page or 2, then PIE closes
6) Cleared Storage and started from scratch, nor programs installed and it does the same thing
7) Cleared storage again and reset before customizations started, still PIE closes
Note: If I use a wi-fi connection, it works fine. I'm able to surf any webpage with no problems. The edge connection works fine also. I was able to listen to Sirius for several minutes with no problems. What would cause PIE to close with no errors? Any ideas?
By the way, this is my second Tilt. I was able to surf the web with zero problems with the first tilt I had. The first one had issues with tinny bluetooth sound and the built in speaker sound broke up and same with the mic. This one has the same issue, so it's either a T-mobile thing or hardware/software issue. I also notice a delay when trying to select something on the screen.
Thanks for the help,
GP
try taking off the proxy. i had the same problem with some sites but if i took off the proxy i didnt have the problem
I have the same issue with my Tilt, I've not found an answer. But it looks to only close when trying to go to a secure webpage. ie. gmail.com or logmein.com
hope someone can help us figure this out.
I havent seen anyone else mention this, i duno if its a conflict or what.
If i use my google search bar off the today screen, or i open PIE sometimes (havent nailed it down yet as to when) my PIE will open like its searching for the google search or the address i put in. HOwever all i get is a blank white screen?
Resetting the tilt seems to cure this, then i see it does the connecting to medianet blah blah.... is there some sort of hibernate mode or some thing im not aware of? (seems like if i leave the phone on all nite charging this happens)
thnx
sorry if i missed this topic
it's not something I've ever seen:maybe a bug with live search and your ROM: which are you using?
Maybe now is a good time to switch to Opera Mobile 9.5 and set that as your default browser. PIE is enough to make me throw my phone at the wall, and If i were forced to use it again I wouldn't keep my Windows Mobile device.
Each to their own though!
If you don't already have Opera Mobile the latest cab is here which also includes a cab to set it as the default for everything, including the search bar.
you can also download the attached cab which is a standalone google today plugin if you'd like to try a different option. Google made their own today screen search engine but it doesn't seem to be available despite only being released a month or so ago.....strange.
I get the white screen from time to time after putting in push email and having a constant data connection. I enabled the disconnect button to the top connection popup and after disconnecting the phone reconnects and all is well.
i will check out the opera i am using the google today plugin and i have it if anyone needs it.
Thats part of the problem when i use it from time to time PIE opens w/ a blank screen. And i have skyfire, but i have to say for some things i just dont wanna deal w/ the frustration of that stupid zoom button and lag on skyfire so i just use PIE for things like opening streaming content etc.
Could very well be a push email type of problem, i use it constantly w/ 3 or 4 different accounts.
Im using the latest AT&t minus the bloatware.
ITs almost like it wont initiate the medianet .... actually thats exactly what it is. Because once i restart, and i hit search or open PIE it instantly says connecting to medianet........ when its blank it just sits there, never even tries to connect.
One more observation... like i said i use the email alot. Sometimes when i go hit email, then goto>folders>pick an account. It (the email account) will pop up and say disconnecting (??) is it maybe hanging up in the email ? and thats why PIE wont open>? Its exactly (if youve ever had this happen) if you have OPERA open, and you try to use PIE, youll get nothing. (at least in my situation) until you close the other browser. Does that sound right? Ive had it happen serveral times to me, i use SPB so i hit close all then reopen PIE and it works. If this is normal, then id have to assume im somehow getting stuck (connected) to my email.
I have experienced this issue as long as I've had my Tilt.
It also affected my ability to download traffic updates on Smartphlow (a live traffic map for the Seattle area).
Same exact behavior, PIE would just give blank white screen. No change after clearing temp files etc... Soft reset would always get me back on with no trouble (other than the PITA of having to restart the phone).
Now I've recently moved to a house that sits in a reception hole so the Tilt is always bumping back and forth between 3G (1-2 bars) and Edge (4-5 bars). Since moving in 6 weeks ago I've not had the same problem.
It definitely seems related to the length of time that a data connection has been active. I previously could only go 1-2 days tops without having to restart the phone to get good data.
Incidentally though, mail never had a problem, just PIE and the traffic app (didn't try any other apps that I can think of that might have shown the same behavior).
Unfortunately I don't know the true cause or have a solid solution for it, just more of a "me too" post with additional detail in hopes it's helpful for someone to pin down the root cause and find a solution.
+1 to that, It happens to me often, like every few days, no matter what rom I'm on. It seems to only effect pocket ie, opera mobile still works, email still works etc... only pocket ie fails.
I can usually correct it by going into airplane mode and then back which is a bit faster than a soft reset but its still annoying.
I've been experiencing it on the stock ATT rom as well as the many roms I've gone through since getting my tilt. I'm primarily on edge but do go through 3g about once a week or so.

There is our answer then: simply stop using the dreadful Pocket Internet Explorer altogether. It's completely unsuited to QVGA screens and suffers from an inability to support HTML pages correctly and consistantly. Opera Mobile 9.5 on the other hand makes browsing beautiful. It's even a lot faster than PIE over GPRS.
I am having problems as well with PIE. It just refuses to connect to any data signal (Wifi, HSDPA, 3G). All of the other browsers work though. I am a mainly use opera mini, but that is not ideal for cirtain situations. I dont really like PIE but to be honest sometimes I need it as there are issues when I use Opera 9.5 (not being able to use the hardware keyboard, messing around with sound notification settings using the official beta). Has anybody out there got a solution that doesn't involve a hard reset? I have searched around and not found a suitable solution so far. By the way I am using a UK T-mobile Vario 3 with stock rom.
Last night, I found my TouchPad sitting under a pile of papers in my office after a few months of wondering where it was and charged it on the dock. Before this long gap of not using it, it had been working perfectly fine - internet browsing, apps, etc... and the internet definitely worked.
After turning it on, it will connect to my WiFi network without a problem, but when I go to open up a web browser page, it says: "Error: No Internet connection." I also can't get it to load stories in the USA Today app and it won't check email in the email app.
I tried enabling/disabling Airplane Mode and then reset the WiFi settings (gave it a new IP address under the WiFi Preferences menu, like this HP forum post says to do), but it still doesn't want to let me go to websites or anything.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

As you say that you haven't used it for a while I'm wondering if you updated the root certificate.
If you didn't here are instructions on how to :

It won't even let me go into the App Catalog to download the update, actually. When I try to, it says: "You must connect to a network to use this application." After I click "Retry," there is a brief moment where it flashes a screen asking me what country I'm in before it goes right back to the screen telling me to connect to a network.
I don't think this is an issue with my router, since all of my family's phones (a Galaxy Nexus, a Galaxy S3, and two iPhones), two laptops, and a Kindle are all using the network with no problems at all. It seems to me like it must be an internal problem with the way my Touchpad is interacting with the network.
Thanks for the suggestion though! That could be another issue I'll have to fix too (since I don't remember downloading an update to fix that problem, which I hadn't heard about before, though I think I've probably used my Touchpad at some point since July 2013).
Just got a GW5 Pro and thought I'd have a play with WFS so I can have everything match. After a day of learning things I hit a wall where I couldn't find the info on complications I was after. I thought the best way would be to just take a best guess approach and just test the face and see. Here's where the problem happened.
Attempt 1:
I followed the instructions on connecting my watch to the PC WFS for testing. The software couldn't see my watch. I tried multiple times turning all the settings off and on again and going through the steps 1 by 1 and double checking what I was reading.
Attempt 2:
After giving up I went through the instructions for instead using my phone (S23 Ultra) connected to my PC via USB cable, connect to GW5 with bluetooth. Seemed easy enough until I hit the issue of turning on bluetooth debugging on my phone. I looked everywhere for it, it doesn't exist. I could see my phone in WFS but not my watch.
Attempt 3:
Third attempt was to just "build" the face and load it manually. It gave me 2 files APK and AAB, I put them in a shared folder and installed the APK on my phone through the network. After a couple of security warning popups it finished and it didn't do anything that I can see. I tried copying both the files onto my phone and reinstalling the APK. Still no luck.
So, after trying 3 different ways I'm lost as to what to try next. There's no point spending more time on building my custom watch face if it's not even possible to use it.
Thanks heaps in advance for the help and suggestions.
this is interesting, because from what I've tested (totally basic level, to be fair), I've got MOST issues with signing apk file. After that it went well.
If you cannot see your watch in debugging mode, delete their remembered ID and try to connect again. That trick helped me few times, when installing ECG workaround.
I'm completely new to this, what do you mean by "delete their remembered ID"?
in other words, maybe "unpair" or "forgot" your watch will be better word to this? Don't know exact words, because I'm using watch studio in my native language (which isn't English).
I remember that I've got similar issues and had to completely remove watch from known devices in watchface studio.
Its currently only paired with my phone. I tried turning BT off on my watch , then turning on wifi, connecting to my home wifi (turning on adb debugging and debug over wifi). Hit scan on my PC, nothing. Entered the IP address of my watch, nothing.
Idk if unpairing would help if I have BT off. Would it muck anything up unpairing and repairing?
Some warning that if you unpair from the phone you HAVE to do a complete wipe of all data on your watch before you are allowed to pair it back again would have been nice to know.
So after that my PC can still not see my watch over wifi.
