Hey,
I am using the motorola xt860 droid 3. Owned it for about a month.
Each time i try streaming a video from youtube for example, it streams for about 10-40secs, then wifi disconnects and error comes up saying "cannot play video". As soon as the video stream closes off (due to error), the wifi begins to reconnect and connects successfully once again.
The problem is not the wifi network because someone else streams video from their iphone as normal.
This only recently started occuring. Please help.
Thanks
Have you tried streaming using your XT860 on a friend's wifi network? Or a hotspot? Does the same issue occur?
Or... I know you don't want to mess with your wifi network, but have you checked if there is a firmware update for your wireless router? Back when I had my Desire Z i had a similar problem, then after updating my firmware on my wireless router, I didn't experience the problem any more. Good luck!
Hey,
Well apparently the problem was with the internet connection/router. I was on an offshore rig and the internet connection was not the best. Because now that im back home, on my own wifi connection, the problem is not happening again.
Thanks for the info, if it ever happens again i would be sure to try that.
Thanks alot.

Hi, I'm having some problems watching video streams using HTC streaming media .
I've tried different sites, and they all work when i'm using IE and 3G, EDGE or GPRS connections. But when I try using my WiFi connection (tried using both encrypted and open networks) I get an "cannot find network connection" error. Anybody got the sollution.
Have you gone into the streaming media options and changed how its connecting? It might be trying to find your data connection instead of using the Wifi, it should switch automatically thought...

I think I tried just about every possible setting. My WiFi connection is set to "Internet" and so i streaming media.. I also tried when connected to my computer with same result..
any fix yet? I too am having this issue...
Hmm, there's been issues with the WiFi set to Auto that people have had with it connecting, but if you have a network connection that is functioning with its current settings then its something else.
Are you using the internal streaming media player or a third party one?
Edit: Okay I just goofed off with it and had the same issue, went into my Wlan settings under Power Options, I changed the setup from Best Battery (or auto if your's is set to it) to Best Performace and it worked imidiately, your phone is killing it because it kills battery power.
Hope that helps

I am having the exact same problem if anyone figures this out please message me
Hi I think this is probably my first post on here
Just got a galaxy note in UK on three network
Netflix is working fine on 3G connection
but as soon as I try to use it on wifi it won't even log in, let alone stream anything
which sounds completely the wrong way round to me (if anything i'd expect more problems on 3g/data than wifi)
I have contacted netflix once about this already - being new also to netflix in the UK, I was impressed with the freephone help line number and bright happy service I was given but the suggestions did not work (I had already tried many of them myself)
I have tried rebooting device
logging in on 3g work and streams then while playing it seems to continue streaming if i turn on wifi (but thats not a good workaround)
If i log in on wifi I don't get past the netflix app login screen
Have reinstalled the netflix app
no luck
Have fixed the ip of the phone and set it in DMZ on router - still no luck
Have forwarded ports 80 and 443 to ip of phone - no luck (on advice from call to netflix)
So any suggestions are welcome please
Wifi works fine for all other apps, web browsing etc
(My galaxy note is unlocked and was not bought on three.)
ok have now done a complete factory reset of phone
only updated gmail
not installed any other apps
setup wifi - tried 2 diffent access points I have by different manufacturers
try netfix app on wifi - login timeout
on 3g only - still fine and ok
i have an archos 80 g9 device here also and get the same problem
tried the ipad (original ipad) app and all fine on wifi on that
have tried clearing app's data and cache
still not chnage - still will not work on wifi (only 3g)
starting to think this is a problem with the app as get same issue on archos

Just an FYI, but Netflix works fine on all my Android devices over WIFI (and 3g where applicable), so I suspect it is probably something to do with your router.

thanks for the reply
I had thought either the same or that maybe being a fairly new device
the app had a problem with the galaxy note
but as i get the same problem on the archos I'm now thinking it must be settings on the router - even though I have never had any other problems with any other device/app (as i say the ipad works fine)
Any one any ideas what on the router may be the cause of this?
I have another router I will test with as I have tested on a neighbours connection and all was OK (different ISP and router manufacterer)
but would like to know what the problem is
rather than just blindly buy new routers until the problem is fixed.
just to update with what has happened on this
in case anyone else is watching the thread...
I have now setup another router
and all is working
so obviously there is either minor flaw in the buffalo router firmware i was using
(although it is a model with no updates at this time)
or there was a setting somewhere causing the problem
If anyone has any clues as to the setting it may have been causing the issue
can you please post as I would like to know the answer rather than just move on and forget that i ever had the other router.
thanks
Hi all.
I had the same problem with my SGS II on my Netgear router (from Orange UK).
All was OK with Netflix, until I was re-configuring my network after my TP Link range extender started playing up. The network was originally on Wireless G, but I changed the security settings, the network ran Wireless N. Everything seemed OK, but it seems that my PS3 had a little trouble connecting to the internet, and definitely Netflix, and on the SGS II I couldn't connect to Netflix at all, either via web or via the app.
I change back to wireless G tonight and all seems OK.
Hope this helps someone out, as I was trawling the web searching for answers myself.
My Chromecast was working flawless on my laptop, tablet, and phone. 3 days later, my phone's wifi doesn't work when Chromecast is connected to my wifi. My tablet and laptop's wifi works fine though. When Chromecast is off, my phone's wifi works fine.
I restarted the router and the problem persists. I haven't changed any settings on my phone.
Anyone know why this is happening?

The only thing I can think of is to make sure your phone isn't trying to connect ad-hoc to your Chromecast (it does this for initial setup). Otherwise make sure there aren't any router settings that conflict between the two devices.
Your issue sounds similar to mine. What I have happening is, whenever I select a video from my phone it will play for a varied amount of time but then stop. I will look at my phone and it is disconnected from my wifi and the icon turns grey. I have to then toggle airplane mode to get it to reconnect. When this happens every device on my network gets kicked off of my network. Now I am running a custom rom on my phone and have data issues throughout the day. So, I don't know if it is because of this or if anyone else is having issues like this.

I have issue with browser, on my pc i set up Chromecast it worked fine but i can not see the chromecast in the browser, can anyone help please?
Thanks
I can't find an answer to this question anywhere. I want to use upnp for streaming video over a wifi connection that does not have Internet access. But of course, once wifi connects, mobile data is disconnected.
I was just using hotspot to create a link before. That worked just fine for streaming media that was already saved on my device, but is frustrating for streaming online video as Sprint times out my data connection every 15-30 minutes while hotspot is active. That problem seems to be only with my HTC One, because I've never experienced that before. But it can't be solved.
So my question is still, how can I stream media over wifi using cellular data? Are there any files I can edit to prevent the mobile cutout when on wifi?

Did you find a solution? I recently purchased a Bebop drone which is controlled via WiFi, for which I use my phone. I'm wondering whether it is possible to still use Mobile Data while I'm connected to the Drone's WiFi signal. My phone is a Oneplus One running latest CM12 Nightly.
My P10 VTR-L29 starts giving problem from today. When I turn on WiFi hotspot to share my WiFi (not the Data internet) internet to my smart tv, the Wi-Fi connection get disconnected from the router.
I have tried with the Network resetting but problem still exist. Does anyone have the solution for this.
Thank you in advance.

It's not an issue, it works like that... You cannot have both activated at the same time...

Just one question.
If you have smart TV, and TV have WiFi module, why do you need to "share" WiFi to connect TV to network?
Connect it directly to main WiFi network
Good question.
My TV Samsung 48 inches Model UA48H6400 started giving problem like the WiFi connection drops while Netflix moving on playing. The Netflix get stuck at 25%. I can see the Internet WiFi connection lost from TV. Turning off the TV WiFi gets back and Netflix will run for about 30 minutes and then again WiFi connection drops. I have tried changing IP settings to DNS manual and set to 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 but the problem exists.
So I did turning off TV WiFi connection from router and connect TV with phones WiFi tethering. So I enjoyed Netflix for 2 days with no Internet problem.
Then the phone WiFi tethering started drops when I turn on phones WiFi hotspot tethering and so far no solution found in YouTube or any other source.
I got another interim solution which is I turn on my phones Bluetooth tethering with WiFi Bluetooth bridge. So Netflix is running no problem so far but don't know when this process will be corrupted.
Hope I have explained the situation.
Thank you
